The ballerina was wearing two tutus, . . . and I was wearing her top . . . /T.Padre

It’s real, but it’s not about handing an acquaintance a bottle of water.  It’s about electioneering close to the polls.  You know, how the people who hand you ‘preferred ballots’ and advocate issues, who have to keep a certain distance from the actual polling place.  This is to stop the parties from throwing a shindig…

Every time the character of Jean-Pierre comes on screen, my mind screams RAY PUR-CHASSSSSE!!!

The best bit of storytelling, for me, was Dot getting her hallucination and reality mixed up to tragic consequence. Because Gator, who is utterly rotten but she believes can be redeemed, may FEEL that things are off and he can make better choices, and he’s been been mistreated and lied to in his time with Roy, but he…

Why would Dispatch call officer Farr to respond to a warrant service in progess.

Heh, one of the few ‘trophies’ I got for anything pre-adolecence, at our city’s fair/community celebration weekend out our local park I won the kiddy big-wheel race, and the sponsor Hardee’s gave out [along with, I think, a gift certificate and t-shirt] a Matchbox of that LeMans with the Hardee’s livery on it.  It was…

Sometimes you have to put in face time with people you don’t like . . . 

It IS ‘a role of a lifetime. . .’

Oh! He’s a golfer. . .

Sometimes there’s kicking . . . 

The casual compact genius of revealing the arrival of the narrative menace of Whitney’s parents by the reflection of their SUV in the facade of the ridiculous mirrored house.

Mobile Home Sweet Home. . . 

If you looked closely, I submit that a lot of people are perfectly capable of differentiating communism, socialism, Marxism, authoritarianism, credentialism, social engineering, bureaucratic overreach, and a number of other nuanced concepts. But if you take the effort to be punctilious about your assertions, then…

You’ve not only become inured to the bits themselves, but the prescience of the bits predicting what was to come. The humor of Spinal Tap isn’t that each line or situation is itself objectively funny, but that it so blithely and implicitly captured the zeitgeist of pop culture coverage of the music industry before the…

EBJrs scant seconds on screen as Stumpy Pepys was indelible.  He captured THE drummer for a band of that era.

Without even REGISTERING the actress, I had a mental image of the character pulling a live goose out of the oven as she set her six-pack on the counter.

Dougie really is an enigma.  Half the time he gives the vibe of the ‘talent’ who could not care less about the players in his project, reminiscent of the writer’s room on The Comeback, who had such a low-key seething hatred for Valerie being shoehorned into their vehicle.  Like he’s blithe and noncommital because he’s…

The whole cat and mouse improv of contraptions in the showdowns [like the guy on TV, MacGuyver I think it was] and the claustrophobic complexity of walls and doors and aisles, was very reminiscent of the showdowns in Blood Simple.  Not Coen, but there was a smidge of Home Alone as well.

The ‘Swift effect’ is being overstated here. Jason’s buzz stems from how he and his wonderful wife and kids came off in his own docu-special covering their own journey through last season culminating in the SB. Mama Kelce’s profile, stems from being the mother of the first brothers in history to face off in a SB,…
