I imagine the 4 hour discussion was Tyrese talking for 4 hours while the Rock had him on speaker-phone, occasionally piping up with an “Uh-huh” while going about his day. 

We got Goodbye Mog for the kids when our cat died as we had read many of the Mog books before. It wrecked me, even though it’s very British in its sensibility - Mog dies on the first or second page and the rest of it is just Mog’s ghost shit-talking the new kitten.

Meryl’s just doing more and more crap these days. I wonder if it feels liberating. She’s going to be on a Chuck Lorre sitcom within the next 5 years, isn’t she?

“Don’t you kids ever get tired of picking through the wreckage of a past generation’s nostalgia?” Ready Player One’s primary villain, Nolan Sorrento, asks this of the protagonists of Ready Player Two, Ernest Cline’s sequel to his 2011 debut novel. “The entire OASIS is like one giant graveyard, haunted by the undead…

In retrospect, the son who witnessed his father dying after the son returned from exile (kinda) changing his name to Michael is one of those weird coincidences. 

I watched this last night - the tinny quality of the interviews over still photos and SNL clips basically made it seem like a really elaborate press kit for the Colby book.

Garrett Morris had his own drug issues on the show, but he (to the best of my knowledge) hasn’t really given that many interviews about the show. He did say that the writers had no idea how to write anything for him so he basically played women, butlers or prisoners his entire time there.  

It’s always seemed like Judy & co felt that WIRED went so hard in the direction of John’s drug use that they’ve spent the subsequent 35 years trying to downplay it as much as possible to try and get a balanced portrait of him, and their efforts usually look whitewashed as a result. The Tanner Colby book was a nice phot…

Agreed; the ratings dropped so much in the first non-Janet Hubert season that they were going to cancel it, but the affiliates were getting such good ratings from repeats of the first three seasons that they agreed to basically fund the last two seasons so they could have more reruns to show/be able to syndicate it. 

Seems like after 20 years of gaslighting OG Aunt Viv, Will’s excuse basically boils down to, “Well, I was going through some stuff.”

And, if I recall correctly, England’s pretty much the easiest place to win a libel suit. This doesn’t bode well for his future prospects.

If Trump wins next week, Kate McKinnon can sing this in a minor key on next week’s SNL dressed as RBG’s ghost or something. 

Anxiously awaiting the Six-Gun Justice Netflix reboot. Happy Marsden’s gotta have cleaned up by now. 

The idea of Bill Murray doing 100 takes for Kubrick makes me laugh. He’d punch someone and walk off the set by the end of day 1. 

Dean Cameron was the unsung hero of many an 80's and 90's comedy. I remember seeing Ski School when I was 15 and thinking it was hilarious, and I refuse to rewatch it to have that memory ruined.

Parler is the French word for talking/speaking. 

It’s French

It aired in the US, they just cut the ending where she actually goes into the clinic for the abortion. The final scene where she’s going up the stairs while the protesters are yelling at her (“This is your baby! Don’t kill your baby!”) was left off the PBS edit.

Great, great, now when are they uploading the Totoro sequel that you can only see if you go there on special days? 

Yes, but what does Ja Rule think about all this?
