We can cut him some slack there, because I think The Box was in production before Southland Tales. Those two movies combined completely killed Richard Kelly. (I rewatched The Box recently and Marsden is pretty good in a bafflingly made nonsense story that goes nowhere).

I am sad that this show is over, but happy that it ended. Does that make sense?

Russian Doll. Watch it.

Imo, they achieved on perfect twist in the first season. Any attempts to recapture that would’ve likely failed because the audience would be on the lookout, and it would run the risk of just trying to do the same thing over and over again. There were surprises, and the show was oftentimes unpredictable. But there was…

I feel like a huge grumpy spoil sport, but I found the Seth bit hard to even watch. I loved the finale (after a very uneven—for myself—final season) but the endless toasts especially (which apparently is an Amy Poehler thing? OK....) felt like something I think the cast deserves to do for themselves but I... didn’t…

I don’t know, I kinda loved that D’Arcy Carden was wearing Jason’s final gift to Janet. Wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Well, that was insanely and wildly perfect.

In the end, The real Good Place is the Bad Place we made along the way

I’m gonna go with Occam’s Razor and say the answer is “She’s 56"

Cats take up no extra space in a bed - they sleep on your head.

Why is it that no writer at any point was ever willing to just commit to Kylo being a villain? He’s a wretched little rat bastard, he doesn’t need redemption just because his grandad did. Just let him be evil!

One film annoyed many people because of conscious, purposeful decisions, whereas TROS has genuine mistakes and inconsistencies.

Yes, literally every other scenario that has ever caused a plane to crash shortly after takeoff.

This is true automotive journalism. Thanks for sharing your sketchy, unsafe, and arduous wrenching adventures with us once again, David!

Brandon sounds like a true friend. Broken cars are easier to fix than broken friendships, so go easy on him next time! Great story as usual.

My vote goes to ‘The In-laws’.

Serpentine, Shelly! Serpentine!

I’ve told this story many time, probably even once or twice on this site, but it’s a favorite memory, so I have no shame about trotting it out again whenever it’s warranted...
