If it shuts up the incels, sure. But I am not sure anything will shut them up.

Schmigadoon! is half-satire, half fan-fic for 50s musicals - fun songs, Cecily Strong is talented and cute and charming, and Keegan Michael Key is fun to watch and perfect in his role. Give it a chance.

Slideshow? Oh, no.

How do you know?

Are “many people saying”? Because that’s what this piece seems to be be based on. She has some weird ideas but if you look carefully at anyone they believe some crazy stuff. Also, easy with that “Zionist” label unless you’re ready to take on a much bigger segment of American society who feels the same way she does.

Also…

Can we please have a web service that would read Disney press releases in a Mickey Mouse voice? Because that would be great.

Can’t be as schaudenfreude as others here. This was someone’s mother, someone’s daughter, someone’s friend, someone’s wife. Dying is the end of hope.

Whatever cultural bullshit she got marinated in is a function of where she happened to be born and those who say they’d turn out different might want to check that…

Ya know these are also the guys who brought us Jupiter Ascending, right?

(Fun tip: These statements become much funnier, if still also sort of weird and disingenuous, if you imagine them all being read in a Mickey Mouse voice.)

^^^ This needs to be a web service for Disney press comments, though it would have to be in Russia or North Korea, who ignore American law, or China, who Disney…

Bogey and Hepburn on The African Queen it ain’t, but Emily Blunt can do anything and the Rock is always watchable, so this is one I’ll watch someday.

Knightriders gets overlooked in Romero’s canon and that’s too bad.

Cecily Strong will be hard to follow on that show. She can sing, act, dance and do physical comedy.

Emily Blunt can do anything, from Mary Poppins to a soldier killing Tom Cruise over and over to shotgunning a revenant with a nail in her foot. There should be a special Oscar category for her.

The problem -is- the format - sketch comedy is hard in these days of Costco-sized Skippy-Peanut-Butter-In-A-Drum mega-corps making mega-shows for mega-markets. Everything is a franchise with 100 pages of backstory and a 1000 page marketing plan.

If your Amazon.com account actually did buy the product (which is about the extent of what Amazon can see) and you take a bribe to give the product a rating higher than you would have otherwise, that’s your choice. That’s human nature and there’s no counter-AI for that.

Another good story along those lines is Ray Bradbury’s Kaliedoscope, which is also on either X Minus One or Dimension X.

That’s kind of a smug analysis from Doctorow. The whole point of the story is that hard sci-fi is run by the laws of physics, which don’t include deus ex machina or Geordi LaForge reprogramming the tachyon array on the deflector dish to blanch butter or raise the dead or whatever they need done after the last…

Just a bunch of partisan film reviewers who REALLY hated Summer School.

For All Mankind S2 on the other hand, I am in. A deeply underappreciated series.

I can’t find I Care A Lot entertaining, even though I’m sure the performances are quite good.
