But that doesn’t include going to the press every time she has a rape case and saying it was the woman’s fault. She clearly believes what she’s saying.

I’m an introvert by nature. Eating alone really depends on the restaurant. I go to NYC by myself a few times a year and score rush tickets for a show or something. I’ve been in places that will give me a nice table and wonderful service. I’ve also been in places where the waitress looks exasperated because they’ll be

I was originally going to go with “maybe they think she’s a cosplayer” but I assume that really good copslay on Earth Prime could get you killed now.

Eh, just banter about a horrific murder and make it a podcast.  It’s what all the cool kids are doing.

Although it’s cool now to say that Radiolab is insufferable, much of the backbone of podcasting was formed by them, WTF, and Comedy Bang Bang. Their influence cannot be overstated. God bless you, Robert. Enjoy retirement.

As the second person in 10 years to win for playing Joker... is it the role or the actor? I’m not trying to diminish the artist here. I’m seriously wondering.

I’m a huge Elton fanboy, but that really isn’t even among his middle tier songs. And Rocketman is a very good biographic film that could have been great if it had the courage to lean into its more surreal elements.

Twitter is where it’s happening, but I don’t tweet. Too many angry Grandpas and Karens wondering why that Barry “Hussein” Obama film had to win best Documentary when the Adam Carolla and Dennis Prager one wasn’t even nominated.

No love for any song before 1968?  Well, Que Sera Sera.

Who are the guys on the right side of the front row that’s clapping for absolutely nobody, or at least ar less than anybody? Not Kaling, not Keanu, not Bong Joon Ho.

I love Janelle Monae, just let the woman sing. Did you see the dancing Joker?... and SS woman from JoJo rabbit?... the production design on this harkens back to the bad old days then Debbie Reynolds struggled to make interpretive dance versions of original scores.

Perhaps it’s the inconsistent way the realistic bloodshed is mixed with cartoon touches like Harley’s rampage through a police station, taking out cops with confetti bombs.

Preemted for the State of the Union by me. Not even The Legends can beat that ghoul.

Go back and retroactively watch the scene of him curled up on the floor in a hoodie. The performance is the same but the meaning totally changes if you watch it after the end of Season 1. It was as good a piece of acting as I’ve seen.

He’s been so good in so many classic or great shows and doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Look at this list:
Cheers
Bored to Death
Damages
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Fargo
The Good Place

You never really realize how many TV relationships are codependent until you see one that so clearly isn’t.

The finale, in retrospect, makes the part of the time on Earth where they visit their families much more important. However the bit where they didn’t know they were “dead” could have been shortened a great deal. Same with the Season 4 experiment.” Season 1 or 2 would have gotten through the first 3 episodes of Season

Oh, and if we want to do favorite episodes:
Dance, Dance, Resolution
Whenever You’re Ready
Best Self
The Ballad of Donkey Doug
Michael’s Gambit
Janet(s)

Like most American series this show got a bloated at the end. The bit with the other people could have been 2 or 3 episodes total and they’d have a great, tight final season that ranks with the first. Season 3 was also a few episodes too long.

But in the end, that’s fine. The overall arc of the show much of that was

But they don’t. Not really.

And, in the end, they all understand each other’s choices and the feeling of peace they have making it.  It’s not death.  It’s not suicide.  It’s being ready to become something else.
