I really like these stranded characters, but Gretchen’s segments on the show prove that Lost was right to keep the mysteries going as long as possible. Seeing the sausage made isn’t suspenseful. I also think this show is going to be unfairly negatively compared to Yellowjackets, which was smart to keep the mysteries…

Chris Pine: hot L. Ron Hubbard

Prisoner x Stepford Wives

Ulta did the right thing by apologizing, but making what everyone clearly agrees is an honest mistake shouldn’t be grounds for getting this type of hateful reaction (especially for what is likely a lower level employee who wasn’t familiar with Kate Spade’s passing). If the whole purpose of the disgust is a call for…

Sally’s slip back into her people-pleaser mode with Barry is so creepy. The spaghetti, the gaming controller -- it’s all deeply disturbing. This season is definitely lighter on the laughs and pitching toward the real-world horror of this world. It’s a really interesting reinvention. 

Get Wes Fucking Anderson on the phone!

For people who don’t know, Seimetz also directed Helen, one of the best Atlanta episodes ever.

Yeah, that was the hook.

This show stinks. Adam McKay, excepting Succession, has really lost his instinct.

I just want to know WTF is up with those stickie notes? And what are they doing with Howard’s car?

Shout out to Elizabeth Perkins as the crushingly dry studio exec — she’s still got that sharp edge that made her a great romantic figure in Big and such an interesting character in Weeds.

What’s not really discussed in this drop is the fact that the closure of the Russian service led to a drop of 700K subscribers. They would have grown had the war not occurred. Even as it stands, they made up more than 60% of those lost subscribers. 

Netflix is finally publicly speaking about ad-supported versions of the service for the first time (a clear act of desperation), yet they still haven’t figured out the #1 way they could retain subscribers (and easily erase that 200K drop) — launch series on a weekly, rather than all-at-once, schedule.

“The Bone show is a blow” come on guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ken’s descent into cynicism was one of the show’s low-key tragedies.

But he does innovate the long-form TV ad for Ginsu.

LOL. MM ended in 2015, so I’m 2 years off. ANYHOW...

Doing the math, it’s now 1975. Sally is a script superviser on Jaws when, getting stoned in her motel room with Murray Hamilton, she sees a TV report about the Simbianese Liberation Army and recognizes Glen among the group. Meanwhile, Don becomes consumed with the Betamax account. “People will forget VHS even…

Just make the next season all about Jack Bauer taking on “Big Christmas.”

I saw Louis CK in a Brooklyn basement comedy show in 2012 or 2013. He was a surprise guest. The room went wild. Me included. He had his notebook out and went on a loose comedic tear for more than an hour. It was one of my favorite nights as a comedy dork ever.
