How old do you think 55 is? On average, you have 20+ years of life, with a huge swath of people living 10, 20+ years beyond that. That’s a long goddamn time to live unhappily. Just wait until you’re there. You’ll be surprised to find that you’re still a fully realized human with wants, needs and ambitions. 

MAKE PADDINGTON DR. WHO YOU COWARDS

Your instinct on that is probably better.

NoHo is truly one of the greatest villains in the history of TV. But I’d give anything for that karate kid to come back. 

Watered down by whom? Netflix famously doesn’t really give a crap about the quality of its films (quantity over quality is its business plan). Do they really micromanage like a traditional studio? Wright’s work generally rocks. He should just go all the way and accept the failure (as he almost does in this interview…

The Uncle Nugget episode of This Country is truly legendary. American network TV cannot allow for such close-up character-based comedy. Dry just doesn’t work for the masses (that’s what made early seasons of U.S. The Office so strong, despite what this reviewer seems to think).

Did you hear Quinta on Seth Rogen’s podcast? She has a sweet story about accidentally meeting Paul Rudd well before she got in the business.

Honestly, makes me think of Rover, which was sadly overlooked. 

Cameo of an apparently pre-meth ATM-head-crunch dude from Breaking Bad rockin a bolo tie.

Had the same thought. HELP, INTERNET!

I can’t find an update on the study linked below (ca 2013), but it seems that ticket prices still aren’t historically high when adjusted for inflation, the only way to truly establish whether something is “expensive” or “overpriced.”

Between his turn on Succession and this, Adrien Brody is the current king of distinctive fashions.

Just greenlight Young Creed already!!!!

Crass timing? More like unfortunate timing. Shows are greenlit and thrown into production far ahead of time. Decisions from 2018 and 2019 only look poorly/crassly timed after the fact. The toothpaste was already out of the tube by the time the pandemic hit.

Coppola helped create this world.

Point 1: fair.

SO WEIRD. How did I transpose that? So right...

Eric Roberts is the exact right flavor of crazy for this show. Between him and Goodman, you’re really never sure what either is going to do next. THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

Also, also: I may be dumb but DNA negates the whole need for decapitation and removal of hands, right? 

Agreed -- slow-burn cults are much more interesting.
