YOU GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE!!!!

Can’t believe it was two years ago already at the start of Covid when we were asking when this final season would ever see the light of day.

As a kid I always imagined a sequel where Gizmo had to turn into a Gremlin to fight back.

I always thought that it added to it. Jerry couldn’t take him seriously, because of course no one could.

From a Washington Post article:
“Larry David recalled that Hall was so effective playing the library cop inspired by “Dragnet,” a Detective Joe Friday of the stacks, that “Jerry had problems getting through the scene.”

Thanks to this man’s sage advice, I always have instant coffee in my cupboard, just waiting to be opened.

It also didn’t help that NBC didn’t seem to grasp that the show was popular despite the Nielsens, and kept trying to undercut it (including by eventually not bringing Carrell back). Lieberstein probably didn’t help matters much, but I think he did fine under the circumstances.

I want a cut of this interview where it’s just silent whenever Fallon opens his mouth.

I’m scared about how much I need wine!

Like, of all the things to be weirdly contrarian about, you chose this?

The three “Totino’s” sketches are pretty amazing, each in a different way.

(this link intentionally skips the inexplicable spoilerish 10-second intro):

I never saw her on SNL since I haven’t watched it in forever, but she was the star of one of my favorite ITYSL sketches. “No coffin please”

You have a higher chance of going to Hawaii and getting attacked by Ezra Miller than you do getting attacked by a shark.

They should slowly, one by one, replace each of the characters with CGI replicas over the course of the season, until the finale is just pure uncanny valley, with one of those David Lynch ominous buzzing sounds playing over the entire soundtrack before CGI Garlin screams and it cuts to black.

Why not have the CGI Jeff for the whole season? That I would watch...

That said, I did enjoy the comical noises the scooter made. It was a good use of audio to undercut their squabbling.

Sorry about your dad. My aunt succumbed to frontotemporal dementia and the progression was awful. Started to present when she was only 50. She was one of the smartest, most interesting people I’ve known. Spoke six languages fluently, could get by on a bunch more. Then everything slowly gets robbed from you. Early on…

I’m sorry you’re going through that.  My father is pretty solidly there but there are so often we drive around the city and he won’t remember something being there for years.  It’s been subtle for a decade, it’s not really getting worse...but I pray it never reaches that point. :(

I could see questioning why those close to him were allowing him to make these movies, but if you read the linked article, Willis himself might not have had a full grasp of his condition by this point. That’s not uncommon with progressive cognitive disorders and the resulting aphasia. There’s accounts of him literally…

that our major beef with the Razzies is not so much their general mean-spiritedness, but the sheer lack of creativity with which they express it
