“Look out, he’s got a nug!”

Because the fact is that, even if Frasier himself is rarely its best part (something that doesn’t bode all that well for a reboot where he’s the only returning main character, by the by), Frasier remains a shockingly good example of the sitcom form.

Turns out “startups” only work when you’re starting up.

The mystery comes from their unwillingness to share metrics that affect residuals, decisions to renew shows, etc., which the streaming services hold close to their chests...but as the say, the numbers needed to work out profit and loss all have to be reported annually to shareholders.

I think it’s less “I don’t understand what their revenue stream is” and more “I don’t understand why their business model works, because they must be losing money.” (The secret sauce is: they operated at a loss for a decade, relying on investor money, and now that the tap has shut off, they need to cut costs and…

Why is it always reading the phonebook? Not calling you out, just wondering why that’s always the benchmark for great actors. Does Gen Z even know what a phonebook is?

Yeah, that is just silly. Even if he is right that there were only 30 good sitcom writers in the 70's (doubtful), the US population is currently about 1.6x higher today than in 1975, so it stands to reason that there are at least 48 good sitcom writers around today. 

U2 may very much be not cool, but they’re probably the perfect band for this space. Because of how uncool and self serious and try hard they are every second of every day.

“...throw in some brain-scrambling illusions that would bedazzle David Copperfield”

David Copperfield lived in the Victorian era so he would probably be bedazzled by a number of things.

Ha!  Despite your best efforts to hide it, I figured out what streaming platform this show is on. 

What you’re feeling is a simple lack of competency at the top. Todd Howard and his cabal of leads are some of the most creatively bankrupt people currently working. There a ton of incredibly talented people at Bethesda, but they’re largely among the rank and file. The people leading big picture systems design just do…

I mean , not really the place to protest it ,but guy’s not wrong . I’ll never understand why Americans seem to think they’re doing their kids a favour by lopping off foreskins at birth . Looking slightly aesthetically pleasing to some other people isn’t worth a body part that’s supposed to be as sensitive as your…

Wonder if he thinks Britain goaded Germany into WWII.

Hard to believe the guy who fucking wrote 'The Final Cut' now says Ukraine antagonized Russia.

How is a singer not a musician? 

Madonna’s “American Life” is terrible? The album that has “Hollywood”, “Love Profusion”, “Nothing Fails”, “Intervention”, “X-Static Process”, “Die Another Day” and “Easy Ride”? I have a bad news: it’s not the album, it’s your taste that’s terrible,

1. I love Community.

I prefer Eden Lake, with its biting commentary on the underclass. 

I think “You’re Next” is one of the best slashers of the 2010/20s. And its commentary on the elite feels more biting than the recent trend we’ve seen lately in media attempting the same theme.

Not going to argue with the selection, going to argue with the “hear me out” tone.
