I doubt the Empire would give a shit about passing their equivalent of the Americans with Disabilities Act. 

I assume medical advances that allow for spinal cord repair and viable robotic limbs have rendered wheel chairs mostly a thing of the past.

Color correction or changes are part of the job of a cinematographer. 

Amber Ruffin is awesome. I saw her do her King of Kong Musical a few years ago and she was delightful as hell. She’s got a hell of a career ahead of her. 

I dunno how he managed it, but Johnny Depp has gone from “He’s entertaining enough and does some fun movies sometimes” to “Fuck that guy” in my mind. Good job, famous person!

Probably an early Letterman. He was always game for Tom’s nonsense. 

Sure, go back to that well. Why not?

The most fascinating thing about these old Waits videos is how much he crafted this persona just for fun and to mess with interviewers. Everything in his bio was suspect, lies, or at best way exaggerated. Like characters from his songs. It’s all put through a music hall/vaudeville filter. I love it.

Man, Schitt’s Creek is so thoroughly mediocre. It really seems like Eugene Levy had a pitch meeting with his son scheduled and they just came up with the idea while they were waiting for the studio execs to show up, never expecting it to actually get green lit. 

...because...7th grade science class?

I apologize. I thought the issue was that a non trans person is portraying a trans character, not that trans people are not getting acting jobs. They are subtly different. 

Why would trans actors portraying non-trans characters be acceptable if the opposite is being presented as insensitive? 

This has been my general feeling as well. It’s literally an actors job to imagine the internal mental state of people different than them.

Finish Season 3. Watch “The Constant” in Season 4, then stop. 

Novelty for the sake of silly novelty is fine. It’s when someone starts pontificating about the sonic superiority of crap mediums that my nose starts to bleed. I almost buy the appeal of vinyl, from a ritualistic, engaging-with-physical media perspective. But I drew the line at cassettes (which sounded like shit to my…

Used to. We have a pretty solid crew right now. 

No, I really haven’t.
