I haven’t; I tend to focus on film and television more than music. I will check that out though; in addition to the phenomenon itself I’m also fascinated by the often unexpected figures involved.

they chose to shoot on film for practical reasons, so they could produce the show in California at a time when nearly all primetime network television was being broadcast live out of studios in New York. That one business decision paid lasting dividends, allowing for lucrative syndication deals for the I Love Lucy…

Someone clearly confused Lucy and Desi with Mr. & Mrs. Smith

“Really gotta hammer it home for the dum-dums” - some producer, probably

At this point, you could compile all the glib GRRM non-book announcements and frustrated fan responses into its own book series. A Song of Feist and Ire.

The proper order is “Dicks. Fart. Poop.” but DavidBishop fucked it all up so of course it fell flat.

For a brief window, Chappelle was maybe the only comedian whose comedy wasn’t ruined by him becoming rich. Ellen DeGeneres’s Relatable managed to be funny in acknowledging her status, so maybe she’s in there too.

Yes, he did say that, practically verbatim.

Most entertainers, but especially comedians, are more conservative on economics than many of them will let on. Actors probably tend to be more left-leaning economically (SAG), but music (on an individual artist level) and standup are pretty tightly bolted on to free market economics in general.

That’s akin to saying that alcoholism is an inherent quality of the existence of alcoholic beverages. In either case, other factors need to come into play to engender that kind of overuse—if it were an inherent quality, overuse would be nearly universal.

Beyond had different writers and directors than the other movies did (Simon Pegg led the writing for it).

You’re right; forgot they brought in Lin for Beyond. Still, it’s the same franchise, and people at the top of these things love to push for some uniformity, so there’s still Abrams-stink on Beyond the same way that there is on The Last Jedi (in spite of Rian Johnson’s emphasis on subversion) and there’s Snyder-stink…

Saying he thinks the entire cast is underpaid is not “speaking for them.” That’s an opinion on industry practices; he’s not directly commenting on the other castmembers’ decisions to sign on (at least not here), and while there is room to infer, it’s still much more inference than implication. Your comment comes…

They’d probably love Trump
