“to distort our country’s past so that the thought of the 1950s Soviet Union makes people feel only terror and disgust”

I think that already happened, but not quite as literally, since Michael was revealed to be a charlatan.

...or maybe this all really is the Good Place (a fact that Michael and his fellow demons haven’t been made aware of) because to truly appreciate pleasure you have to first endure suffering.

This is taking place centuries from now (or perhaps outside of time) but they keep referencing TV shows from now. I guess that makes sense since we’re in the golden age of television.

Mmm, squashed beef.

I’m a bit confused by how the headline claims this is a Super Bowl ad while the article doesn’t say anything about the Super Bowl. I guess I just don’t understand Super Bowl ads anymore.

Paramount, formerly Spike.

I think the biggest obstacle to adapting these books is that they’re full of naked children.

Wednesday night, time for reenactments of things that happened in the 90s.

I think they’re mostly for personal use. Often I’ll look on YouTube for a live version of a song and end up with someone’s cell phone video, and there are like 20 other people in the audience recording it on their phones too but that’s the only one that’s been shared publicly.

I was wondering why Jack White was standing in front of a...whatever those are called...with “The Hateful Eight” on it, since the only thing he had to do with that film was letting them use an old White Stripes song, but apparently the soundtrack was released by his record label. That doesn’t seem like a close enough

Yes.

Doncha wanna know how we keep starting fires? It’s my desire! ♫

We’re still pretending people know the difference between Sound Mixing and Sound Editing, even though the nominees there are identical. I think it’s safe to assume that both of those will go to whichever movie the voters like the most. I’m guessing Baby Driver had the best use of sound, but I don’t know. Hardly anyone

Hmm, IMDB now credits Shazad Latif in the first few episodes as “Ash Tyler / Voq (as Javid Iqbal) (credit only)”. That’s not quite right, IMDB.

Lorca’s identity totally took me by surprise. I was so distracted by the Tyler/Voq speculation that a second twist didn’t occur to me. I wonder if they leaked the Tyler/Voq thing because they intended that distraction.

The guy is Matt Walsh and the green thing is a... I’m gonna guess “Saggy”.

I suppose it depends on how much you like Bryan Cranston.

I’ve been watching Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams. It’s very okay, which means it’s kind of a waste of a good cast. Bryan Cranston is great with what they give him in “Human Is,” a story whose plot manages to be spoiled by its two-word title (though the actual ending did surprise me). Steve Buscemi is Steve Buscemi
