I saw the movie without knowing much about it, and I thought it had its moments and wasn’t trying to be about racism but more about the unlikely friendship and the dumb things Tony Says about race were supposed to be naive. The comments by the filmmakers corrected that perception, and I retroactively find it more…

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is really bizarre, and its membership is basically a tiny group of wannabe starf*ckers. They also want ratings, so they nominate people that they think will bring ratings to their show.

Plus they love famous people. 

I’m scratching my head that Bohemian Rhapsody, which is easily 20 percent musical numbers got nominated for drama while Green Book, which has one musical number got put in the musical category.

100% for sure. A New Hope is a fun, flawed B-movie that came out when there wasn’t much like it and it appealed to children and pre-teens tremendously. I’m not knocking it. I loved it as a kid and I still think it’s terrific fun but the original trilogy is flawed and so was the worshipped expanded universe. I think…

It’s also indicative of a larger problem of men refusing to grow up, and society outright encouraging them to be entitled children their whole lives. Yes, I mean men. Women engage this behavior, but in general, we are told so often the media we love as a child is garbage and we should be ashamed of it, we usually…

Also, the quality of the character has nothing to do with the behavior of toxic hateful bullies. They and they alone are responsible for their behavior, and something “not working out” to their liking justifies nothing. 

The cyclic nature of male comedy stars is fascinating. It goes back to Belushi and Chase, who have a string of hits until their schitck gets old and they try and go serious, then they try and return and flop and then settle into mediocrity. Carrey, Myers, Sandler, Murphy...there’s so many. Jokes get stale, humor…

Also, she took credit for the notes so the girls wouldn’t get in trouble, and then made it look like she was ridiculously writing notes to praise herself. That’s an example of how the show twists things up and makes them funnier. 

I stayed with the books until Brianna’s rape. It just felt mean & tiresome, and Gabaldon always seemed on team Roger even when he didn’t deserve it. 

I hope he turned the footage over to the police or FBI. 

The play is surprisingly dark and sophisticated given its “silly” premise and can be seen as a metaphor for all sorts of things: eccentricity, queerness, alcoholism, mental illness...and it’s funny as hell. I think Tom Hanks would be great or Jim Parsons. Just not someone who mugs a lot. Elwood needs to be played…

Jim Parsons is far better than the show - and has a history as a brilliant theatre actor who is now so flush with cash he can spend the rest of his life doing quality projects - so I would not mind this at all.

Notice how CBS has nothing but a series of mediocre, sexist shows designed to make white males feel powerful. Anything featuring strong women or people of color is offloading to their streaming service. Fuck them. 

One of the show’s subtle delights is how Eugene Levy’s character is not an awkward nebbish but a suave and occasionally dashing former CEO, who still manages to be befuddled by his surroundings and awkwardly supportive of his adult children’s sex lives. He wears great suits, too. 

I hate bathroom humor, but what I love about the show is it manages to work in the “expected” poop jokes in such delicate and subtle ways that I don’t find them off-putting or offensive. Case in point, a hotel/spa serving an alleged honeymoon couple a dish that is simply not conducive to later romantic encounters. 

It really starts hitting its stride in the second season and gets truly brilliant in the third, once you really become invested in the Roses as characters. 

Seconded. I read an interview with Dan where he talked about how many women they auditioned who clearly hated the social media socialites that Alexis was based on and gave very funny but mean readings of the character. Dan knew Annie Murphy was right when she made Alexis breezy and likable despite everything. I LOVE…

Hello, might we be soul mates? I watched that and was like, well this is cliff notes of the book.
