No idea who he ratted out, exactly. I’ve just been conditioned by decades of David Simon and Martin Scorsese to despise snitches. 

The number of grown men showing themselves to be passionate defenders of Snow White has been really interesting to see.

If you don’t want us to call out the shit you’re feeding us, stop feeding us shit. 

Ya know, this has happened before, where in my early-morning haste I’ve written something out quickly using poor grammar that commenters have then latched onto so they could “dunk” on me.

“I’m sure he’s a dick in real life” (the inflection meant to imply that it’s a hypothetical . . .)

Unless you’re being sarcastic and you don’t actually believe he’s a dick in real life, no, this doesn’t make it any clearer.

Maybe “While he may well be a dick in real life” or “It’s possible he’s a dick in real life.”

Shit, there’s a song in there somewhere. Thanks! My writers block is cured!

He is in the new show, for sure, though there’s a pretty good case to be made that he was the villain of the original series. 

It’s certainly possible, but VCRs were still in production until 2016, and have only really started getting hard to find in the last few years, nearly 20 years after they fell out of vogue. If I can get another 20 years out of my media collection, I’ll be 67 and should be downsizing by then anyway, in preparation for…

The wife and I binged the available episodes this weekend, and yeah, it’s just really good.

This is far from the most toxic online space I hang out in, but it’s the only one without a block button. 

I’ll have you know that some of us drooled over Jolie 20 years ago and celebrate her decision to remove herself from a toxic workplace environment that exacerbates her DV trauma. 

I bought Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special on iTunes, and it was gone within a year or two. I haven’t bought a movie on VOD since, unless it’s only a dollar or two more than renting.

There are, but most involve either some degree of programming skill, or a willingness to install questionable plugins and browser extensions that often come with a sidecar of adware and malware. Since paid downloads cost about the same as a baseline Blu-ray disc, I’ll opt for the latter when I can.

Barboppenheimie, a five hour epic about how the atomic age was born, then spawned an iconic doll.

you can purchase or borrow the movie on Prime, Google Play, and other VOD services

I came here to say this, but then I read the article, and, god help me, I might actually watch the damn thing.

Ah ha, so I just don’t know what I’m talking about. Checks out. 

Speaking only for myself, I’d say it was a pretty terrible television show. A bold, inconsistent, incoherent mess that only coalesced in the brilliant work that it was in the final moments of the final episode. As it aired, and as I became more and more frustrated with the jarring tonal shifts, brutal nihilism, and…

If he’s truly the only actor for the part, the noble thing for him to do would have been to refuse the role. 

It was only available as the B-side to “Free Fallin’” for over a decade. That was nearly 25 years ago, of course, but I’m 47, so time stopped around 2002. I suppose “deep cut” would have been more apt.
