Yes I hope for an intermission as well. The movie’s not even out yet, and I already need to pee.

He’s amazing on Dead To Me. It’s one of those paradoxes of acting: He’s so natural and believable that the tendency is to take it for granted. Nothing he does calls attention to the fact that he’s acting.

Pretty good overall, but I always took it as an unwritten rule that if the mark asks if it’s an April Fools joke, the jig is up. In other words, by acknowledging April 1st at all, the Oscars letter cheats.

This, The TAMI Show, and Big Time (Tom Waits concert film, usually hard to get but currently on Prime).

P.S. I’m not sure if I believe this story, but 2006, in the US, a group called the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility claimed that tour guides at the Grand Canyon were not permitted to comment on the age of the rocks, in order to avoid offending religious people who believe the Earth is only 6,000 years…

Meanwhile at...oh, also the BBC...unnamed senior sources say an environmentalism-related episode of David Attenborough’s Wild Isles has been cut from airing, for fear of offending the conservatives.

How about The Game: Pokémon Edition, a game based around trying not to think of any Pokémon?

Also, this is more obvious, but how about Pokémon Drunk? Nintendo could release a little breathalyzer add-on.

Yeah.

I didn’t know that! I knew John got interested in Yoko after reading about her in a magazine.

I liked the “Magical Mystery Tour” parody, but another Beatles song is already pretty apt for the story.

I thought it was great. I liked all the dancers. It looked like a hipper version of an Olympics opening ceremony.

I thought these 2 were the best:

She thought her experience would become clickbait.  You won’t believe what happened next.

Like Jethro Tull, I just changed my name after every flop

Or a film that people who are more people-like than normal, very people, appear to have seen?

Yeah, what’s the deal? Is the snark directed at Kidman, at limited series in general, at using that phrase instead of mini series, or at specifically Kidman in a limited series? I’m not seeing the uh-oh.

Still thinking about this. I could see how RA’s lawyers could try to make the case that this isn’t about copyright nor composition but rather an issue of false endorsement / personality rights. Something like Crispin Glover’s lawsuit over Back to the Future Part II. But I can’t help but think, YG cleared the…

Yeah super interesting. It seems crazy to me. By the logic of this lawsuit, if I clear the rights to incorporate the composition of some old song into my own, I can play or sing elements from that song...but not if I sound like the singer? What if my guitar sounds too much like the original guitarist?

OK Go came up with its name 25 years before you did. And besides, you’re making They Might Be Giants upset.
