Wait, everyone hated Suyin at first? I enjoyed the character, and pound for pound she had the best fight/actions scenes in the series (I think she was in something like 5 to 7 fight/action scenes, and they were all great). And Anne Heche’s warm and wizened vocal performance really sold the hippie Renaissance woman…

She’s the first Legend of Korra cast member to die, including Eva Marie Saint who’s still with us at 98. I won’t act like I didn’t hate Suyin as much as everyone else at first, but Heche’s performance definitely won me over in the final season.

Yeah, read about her upbringing...Jesus. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

A sad ending to a life filled with spectacular ups and downs. My thoughts are with her family, especially her two sons. 

Since the whole interview isn’t here, I don’t know if she mentioned the fact that Friends is widely believed to be inspired by the Black sitcom Living Single, but Friends was credited with “inventing” the twenty-something roommate com. That has stuck in the craw of the creators and stars of Living Single for years.

Anyone commenting with a review of the performance, character, or show, positive or negative, is completely missing the point, and pushes forward the dangerous idea that treating actors as human beings deserving of respect, free from bigotry is somehow conditional. It is not. There is absolutely no excuse for the kind…

Great article about a great episode of a great show.

Elizabeth is such a fascinating person. Essentially a prodigy, who only survived to adulthood through almost miraculous luck.  I’d like to see her early years too.

As a sidenote, I was actually thinking on the Tudors TV show recently again and there’s this one aspect of that show that I have never been able to understand. If anyone knows of an interview that explains it, I would be truly grateful.

To be honest, I actually this is a really good period of time to focus on and has a lot of really intriguing stories to Elizabeth’s rise to become one of the most iconic monarchs in Western history. Edward’s reign, Jane Eyre’s nine days on the throne and of course Queen Mary. With especially that last being such a…

If you’ve been tapped to host the Exxon Energy Adventure Ride, you are immediately placed on a shortlist to play hilariously obtuse Pixar sidekicks.

My father was an Exxon executive tangentially involved with the creation of this ride. Don’t @ me, the family divested our stock long ago and I drive an EV. The gossip I have is that Ellen was a last minute replacement for Tim Allen, who had originally been signed for the gig until Exxon got wind of his cocaine bust.…

Considering that this ride closed several years ago, and there’s a brutal war going on right now, we can’t even blame this on a slow news day. Why, exactly, is this coming up now?

I will shortly be filing a class action suit against Universal for leaving James Corden in.

What an amazing in the moment riff, thanks for sharing this!

His performance as Christine Baskets is one of my favorite performances by any actor in any media.

As much success he had over his lifetime, I’ll always remember him as Christine Baskets! What a performance. He could’ve really made that character one note but it was so nuanced. I hate cancer.

I’ve been watching some of his old clips, and finding it striking that his material hinges on the audience seeing him as a big ol’ fat dude, despite the fact that he’s not exactly huge by today’s standards.

I remember seeing this when it aired and I think it imprinted some kind of “this is what is funny” template in my pre-teen malleable brain. At the time his was a really unique comic voice that influenced a lot of what was to come.

Louie Anderson will always have a warm place in my heart because Life with Louie was a Fox Kids regular here in Poland as “Świat według Ludwiczka” (“The World According to Louie”). Fantastic dub, a lot of great jokes and very relatable situations made it a cult classic among my generation and anyone born in the early…
