I have high hopes.  Vandal also had ads like this, which themselves were parodies of true crime trailers.  I feel like this is the same.  Where the presentation is serious, but the subject matter is ridiculous.

I mean, they’ve been hinting that something’s wrong with Q, so maybe he’s not the same guy we saw TWENTY YEARS AGO. Kinda like how Picard is different after TWO DECADES.

(Yes, I know Q is an immortal being and 20 years is like a blink of an eye for him, but static characters are boring, so having some change in him is…

Funny you say that, as I had that feeling during the movie.  “Ugh, this is just throwing weird stuff to be weird.”  But it comes together by the end where I was left feeling very satisfied, and that the setup was needed to have the ending work.

By all rights, he should have passed 10 years ago based on how he was doing. To say that DDP saved his life is the absolute, literal truth. Hall wouldn’t have gone into the WWE HOF without Page coming in and sobering Hall up. We got a bonus decade of him, and it was a decade where he had that retired resurgence.

The New Zealand version is really good.  Jeremy is very different from Greg, but nothing is lost.  Well worth seeking out the two NZ seasons.

Why should it be scrapped because of one talent holdout? The creators, writers, and other stars are for it. It doesn’t seem fair that a single talent veto would negate this.

I’d love to see him back, and he has every right to not return, but not having him there shouldn’t derail the whole project.

Machine Gun Kelly may now be famous for dating Megan Fox, but he’ll always be the guy that Kevin Owens powerbombed off the stage to me.

I grew up in the 90s, and this still looks like an exaggerated parody.  But it’s real.  The 90s were awful, and the only redeeming thing was Surge soda.  (But the ads for that were also insufferable.)

Let’s drop the idea that Squid Game is some kind of anti-capitalist screed (even if that’s what the creator intended).  Rich people being jerks is not a condemnation of capitalism.  

No excuses for Louis CK or Manson. And having said that, this is consistent with the Grammy awards. Chris Brown alone has had 13 nominations and 1 win since he was literally beat up his girlfriend.

Face it, the Grammys in particular have never had a problem with nominating or awarding questionable individuals.

Unions, as they work today, are thugs backed by the power of the state.  There’s a good, valid place for them, but not how they are now.

I don’t think it has any admission of guilt. If someone had a heart attack at the event, he could pay for the funeral as a way to say, “We’re a community, and it’s sad this happened at our event” without being held responsible.

I’ve seen that Scott has incited bad behavior like this. What kind of things has he done?

As much as I enjoy Maya and Anna, if this show just became all about Steve, I think I’d be perfectly happy.  He was the star of the first half of this season for me.

I like the way ACS handles this, though.  They don’t need actors that look exactly like the people they’re portraying, so long as they can give a good performance.  Cuba Gooding, David Schwimmer, Clive Owen; none of them look like the person.  A little makeup to evoke them is enough if they can give a decent…

I came to mention her, too, but to say that in what universe is she playing the mother?? I guess that, technically, she’s old enough, but it seems strange to see her in that role. But she will heighten anything at all, so that balances out.

Right?  I was just thinking “you were paid for it in your Big Brother payout.”

I lost focus at 1 minute, 23 seconds.

I can’t watch this without thinking of the hypocrisy of Elizabeth Moss trying to make some statement about tyranny and human rights while belonging to one of the most oppressive and cruel organizations in the world.  (And, yes, I say that without hyperbole.)  A society run by Scientology would make Gilead look like a…

If you’ve never watched him totally wrecking the day / making a classic of this show, it’s well worth the full 25 minutes.
