I had an acquaintance who, after his third DUI, was given a simple choice by the judge: Quit drinking or quit driving. He relinquished his license on the spot. Being self-aware counts for something, I guess.

Whenever I see a story like this I’m just so grateful I managed to quit driving. 

I saw a screening at the Sydney Film Festival in IMAX on Saturday; the film is bananas, but I had a blast watching it and would love to see it again.

“driver hasn’t had a hit since 2018's blackkklansman”

Well now I’m curious.

Stop Making This Hurt is a thoroughly decent song though.  The live album from Radio City that Bleachers dropped year is pretty good in my opinion.  Not the kind of thing I’d listen to all the time but I put it on here and there.

I believe that he is the heir to the Arm and Hammer baking soda fortune. 

Hold on, slow down. There was a script?

I always find stuff like this and unaired pilots fascinating. It’s interesting to see what worked and what didn’t and if there was any way to fix what didn’t work. 

I want to see Bill Hader and John Mulaney’s James L. Brooks samurai movie, “But What If You’re Wrong?”

Confusing to see “it never made it to the main stage, much less to air” in this post, when the whole point of SNL dress rehearsal is that it is on the main stage, then they cut the 2-3 sketches that tank the most (or succeed the least) before the live show goes to air. It’s also the clearly articulated premise of this…

They’re a bunch of pearl-clutching dorks upset that Shane Gillis, who they thought they successfully cancelled, is now bigger and more successful than any of these failed writers or their favorite bland comedians.

No, the AV Club has its priorities straight. The most important topics in entertainment are: (1) Shane Gillis, (2) Bowen Yang, (3) end of list.

Did Shane Gillis run over the AV Club’s dog or something? This is just pathetic.

It’s hard for me to believe that “frat bros” aren’t a huge demographic for a show in which they ask people questions as they eat progressively hotter chicken wings.

I’m not a big Gillis fan, but this is unfair to Sean. His questions were fine. I think you let your personal dislike of Gillis bias you too much here. 

Dunno why everyone’s so keen to see Grande do it. She’s just gonna grab all Sean’s wings, lick them, and then put them back his plate.

Ah, Roland Emmerich: the unthinking man’s Michael Bay.

I thought I’d do some back of the envelope calculations on the 2024 season so far and see how that works out ...
