13 was a decent compromise because 26 or 22 was just too many from a production standpoint and often the creators would end up spinning their wheels as story ideas dried up and budgets dwindled (tho on the other hand that’s how “Bottle” episodes came about.) But 10 eps usually just not quite enough - every season of…

Gonna be a real short season for me, ‘cause I don’t plan on watching it. The first season was a miserable disappointment with only short bursts of excitement or enjoyment and all of the characters were sour and cruel and I didn’t really care about any of them. Frankly if they’d made the first half of the first season…

And I’d rather listen to Broken Boy Soldiers than any of that nonsense from Boarding House Reach. He’s definitely at the stage of diminishing returns.

I love Clea DuVall. I loved the scene. But it should have been Jenny Lewis.

I think more Tim Burton is trying to make her the new Helena Bonham Carter / Eva Green / Future Ex-Mrs. Burton.

Clearly this show needed at least one more episode. Probably between eps 3 & 4, to fill in the journey and increase the emotional bond between Joel and Ellie. And this one could have been a full hour, to really slow burn the reveal of David as the worst. And there should be slightly more zombie presence. They’re not…

Coming Soon: Starbucks!

Yeah he was only in scenes with three out of twelve Tatiana Maslanys (Tatianas Maslany?)

Sam Elliot as Gen. Ross. Josh Lucas’s Talbot was a serviceable dick. That’s about it. 

I mean, have you heard any of McCartney’s last few albums? He’s been putting out surprisingly vital work for an 80 year old. The Stones “A Bigger Bang” in 2005 was their best album since Tattoo You. Granted it’s been nearly 20 years since then. And Ringo... uhm... well, he managed to keep a beat on Jenny Lewis’ last…

I get a papercut and I’m useless for a week.

James Ellroy is going to end up writing a novel about all this eventually. 

Get Aimee Mann and (especially) Neko Case back on. They absolutely killed it. Way funnier than toxic dicks like Chris D’Elia. I think Funches should take over as host. 

I also wonder if they switched out one of the white boy players for Devon Walker’s manager to make the “’cause we black” line funnier. If so, kudos, because Bowen completely lost it.

Yeah I remember when Booksmart came out and I told my friends and co-workers that it was almost exactly Super Bad if it was actually a good movie instead of just a very funny high school sex comedy. And this is why people don’t take my recommendations.

Was a huge fan of the show and sent to see Titus live at a comedy club in Detroit. Ran into him in, of all places, the john. I was going to play “who had the worse childhood growing up” but I knew he’d win.

‘Twas a jest. But really, there should be other options for those of us whose spouses have recently had knee surgery, and who can no longer stand the thought of being around other people.

When’s this on streaming?

I remember watching Jenna Coleman as Constantine and thinking “Wow, she would have been perfect to play Death.” She was too cheery an put together for Johanna. She had the wide open, smiling but sad smile, just throw some goth clothes on her and boom! Perfect Death.

Then I saw Kirby Howell Baptiste and I thought, “Oh…

One of his first lines was “looks can be deceiving” and in this one he was described as having a quick tongue, so he’ll end up working for the deceiver as the Mouth of Sauron perhaps? Or he’ll be one of the nine. Maybe not the Witch King, who was supposed to be a Numenorean. Then again, so was the Mouth.
