Loved Kimmel’s teasing about Nicole Kidman’s AMC campaign.

I typically enjoy Kimmel’s hosting. He’s the next Billy Crystal in my eyes: amusing, the right balance of cutting when needed, not above goofy skits or videos, never too cringy. Not perfect by any means, but out of any hosts in recent memory, I think he fits…

They’re PISSED, Jerry! Pissed!

Meanwhile, UnlimitedSteam is doing a very focused AI reimagining of Steam Hams. It’s very unlike the original Nothing Forever Seinfeld bits because it has like a half dozen anchor points it must hit every time, so it operates more like a Mad Libs than a giant sandbox with a handful of rough skit structures to pull…

The scene between the two sisters was intense and beautifully performed. I have a sister, and Clea DuVall conveyed that specific balance of simmering rage, resentment, anger and profound irritation perfectly.

cheep-cheep-cheep!

Shennanigans. Mando will either be good, or not. It won’t be “less” because Andor was great. Boba Fett wasn’t “less” because Andor was great, it was just shitty.

Nazis! On Broadway????  Jokes on them. 

I might suggest one better. I saw a documentary once about holocaust denial and it ended with several deniers meeting with an actual Auschwitz survivor. The courageous, amazing woman, smiling and without missing a beat, greeted them and said, “How nice to meet phony Nazis. You know, I met real ones.”

And I will take the third of three possible positions in asserting that “neo” carries neither negative nor positive connotations for me and is merely a prefix meaning “new.”

why do you think the prefix “neo” is a intended to downplay that they are nazis?

it was just a callback to a line in Civil War where he wants orange slices after turning into massive Ant-Man for the first time 

James Cameron is dead!

No, it was gross because Neil Hamburger made it and it was his first bake in 30 years.

He did the voice of Veb, the blob.

“I just don’t want anybody to get hurt.”

I do enjoy that we consistently say Tusken Raiders now because “sand people” sounds genuinely space racist.

Honestly I did not recognize Miles Teller because for some reason, his face didn’t make me want to punch it.

It’s funny, every article I’ve read this morning about the Superbowl ads is like “gasp no crypto ads this year!” You mean like the one Tom and Gisele are currently being sued over? Those crypto ads? Can’t understand why no one’s chomping at the bit to be in one of those this year.

The Breaking Bad one was awful. Funny is not taking actors and having them repeat old lines but with a product name cut-and-pasted into it. Funny is doing something clever.

“Say. Its. Name.”? Painful.

“the 16 best”

You included them all?
