I forgot what he looked like, so I thought they had cast a Chet Haze-type of actor. 

His comment about writing seems really strange since he’s written for and created Gavin & Stacey and The Wrong Mans. 

When you call someone a ‘boy’, you’re the one bringing gender into this. Also, there is nothing ‘precious’ about this or any other show. It seems that you are MUCH more invested in the show’s content than anyone else, including the person who wrote the article. If you don’t like that then the onus is on you to ‘stop…

First you assume that I’m a man. And then you assume that I’m angry. Those are condescending statements. . Don’t make assumptions. I haven’t made assumptions about you, even though you keep insisting that ‘I don’t get it’. And, yeah, BTW it’s not cool to assume people’s gender identity. Especially when you have no…

Did Kareem threaten to sue? Did he disparage the show by stating that all creatives involved are depicting people in a certain way due to a ratings grab? Because that is the very specific action that this article is discussing.

Much like Jerry, you’re not doing yourself any favors by insulting someone you’ve never met and making assumptions about their intent. I’m pretty sure that many people share my ‘flawed and bad’ opinion. The material of this series is not illegal or unethical. I’m not even here to debate the show, but to comment on how…

Yeah, I get it. So, I should have felt sorry for Elizabeth Holmes while watching The Dropout? I don’t have to ‘like’ any character, real or fiction, to enjoy a series or movie. That would be inherently uninteresting. 

I would assume the same thing. And it doesn’t bode well for this series that Sam Levinson is taking over all the directing duties. 

You’re clearly taking this as seriously as West himself. I dunno, if I was portrayed as someone who could or did smash a golf club in half, I might be flattered. And I would assume that an 83yr old person might be thinking about something else rather than how they are portrayed as a supporting character in an HBO…

From what I understand as an actor in NM, there is a lot of effort being put forth to assure that Hollywoo producers and companies don’t think this is a problem with producing here in NM. Which should be rather clear considering that about 90% of the films/TV that are produced here are about the ‘Old West’ and/or…

I admittedly forgot about those scenes you recounted. Which, IMO shows that those were portrayed as instances in a long career and not as defining characteristics. Look at how ridiculously and histrionically Jack McKinney is portrayed. Or Paul Westfield? Showing a person drinking at home and smashing a trophy when…

West is not portrayed as a raging alcoholic. I don’t recall the character drinking at all. He’s portrayed as a conflicted, passionate, lover of the sport who acknowledges his weaknesses and hang-ups. Every character in the show openly acknowledges how skilled and ethical West was in his long tenure as a Laker exec,…

I’m sorry, but Jerry West isn’t doing himself ANY favors by trying to sue HBO over this fictional series. I would argue that some of the most despicable people portrayed in HBO ‘documentaries’ have a (somewhat) better legal argument for suing the network than any of the people who are portrayed in this series. What…

Why would the week earlier be preferable?

I’d be really into that Reuben Pizza. 

I dunno. I really like waffles, but I would not want to attend that waffle party. The deviled eggs pre-show looks fun though. And every time they bring out that melon, my mouth waters. 

Best. Roast. Ever. 

I think it’s the best thing she’s ever done. I wish it was getting more attention as well. 

If one watches the HBO doc, it’s clear this story is way more complex than most people think it is.  Conrad Roy was not some innocent stooge who did whatever she told him to do. It was actually quite the opposite. And he had suicidal tendencies for years before meeting Michelle. His parents just didn’t want to admit…

Go Bean Dip!
