I heard that the season was originally meant to last 10 episodes, but they went over budget and had to cut back.

Trump's camp says he never smiles in official pictures because he wants to give off an image of steely Churchillian strength. I think it's more like whenever​ he's caught smiling he looks like a Bond villain watching one of his henchmen being torn apart by the hounds

"The exception is the second one, a prequel, which makes King 3 the sequel to a prequel of a remake’s sequel’s spin-off."

When the movie was being developed earlier with Brian De Palma directing, John Carroll Lynch was going to play Sandusky.

It had been mentioned in 2015, but then "Black Panther" happened so it was anybody's guess if Coogler would still do it or stick to the blockbuster trajectory.

"Whether the aging heartthrob absorbs onscreen abuse purely for our perverse amusement or out of some deeper masochistic impulse is a question for the psychiatrists he doesn’t believe in." Not a fan of A.A. Dowd, but damn that's a good zinger.

John Lithgow.

Well the cast is one thing. Kenneth Branagh as director is another. Michael Green having written the screenplay is another.

Rumor is, Agatha Christie's only issue with the 74 version was Albert Finney's moustache wasn't flamboyant ENOUGH. Clearly Branagh wasn't going to be caught dead making the same mistake.

Rylance spent his formative years in Wisconsin and has done a lot of work with the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, so he has Midwest cred.

Definitely shades of "Hannibal" in this episode's ability to make scenes full of purple dialogue into dramatic masterworks.

40th anniversary of the first movie, I believe.

It's the same logic that leads some to say "You don't see pro-Trump marches because we're all at work!" or in the most delightfully​ smug way I've heard it phrased, "The pro-Trump rallies can be found from 9-5 at your local place of business".

(Obviously more spoilers here) Wednesday is revealed to be Shadow's father (as Odin is to Baldur in Norse mythology), and in the later short story "The Monarch of the Glen" we learn that Shadow's real first name is "Balder".

He's always had a good eye for casting and recognizing potential in actors, even if his ability to direct them is lacking.

Fuck the fuck off.

When Christian Lanz was on Rob Paulsen's podcast he talked about learning to speak with an American accent as a child by watching Scooby Doo and focusing to on Welker as Freddie and how surreal it was when his first major TV voice acting role was opposite him on "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated".

To give her credit, her perception of autism isn't based (mostly) on stereotypes.. her 5-year old son is autistic, and I work with him on coping skills and the like. The full context of the situation was she and I were explaining to her son why he should try to avoid making high-pitched screaming noises when excited…
