Harris would make for an incredible General Attorney - and I have been incredibly proud to have her as a AG of CA and DA of SF. However as I think we should all see, she’s taken Boxer’s Sen seat like a beast and much like Warren, she’s right where she needs to be, suffering no fools.

“wha? lil ol’me?” is his entire schtick. You’d think there’d be more cunning beneath since he lays it on so thick but nope, that’s somehow his entire gameplan.

Can you imagine that this person is the fucking General Attorney, full stop. Yet he cannot manage to keep up with a basic legal argument.

I believe it’s in regards to his D.C. Hotel. Despite being it’s own District, there are certain blurred commercial interstate lines between D.C. and Maryland due to the close vicinity. The AG from Maryland is arguing that the D.C. Hotel is unfairly pulling business from Maryland venues. There might also be a golf…

No. They’re voted in by their states/districts. But it’s always hilarious to hear “States Rights” Repubs get tongue tied when a blue state flexes its muscle.

Tovarich.

Yeah, it was immediately apparent why it was dropped from the original show during tryouts. I can only assume that wherever it is in the show is kind of a ‘breather’/gives the dressers 3 more mins for a costume change. It’s tone deaf and antiquated even for the original, a jarring reminder that additional lyricists…

The David Hyde Pierce bit really felt like a last minute substitute. Especially for a show where Champions’ choreography and the staging are so compelling; even if you have Bette Middler, it’s simply smug and rude af to not present a proper number. Especially in the shoes of Channing and Pearl Bailey, the latter of…

It depends. The year ScarJo did Broadway there was a big push against film actors crossing over and claiming awards they simply hadn’t put in the mileage into. It’s a situation and argument that comes and goes. She won anyway, it was felt many of the actresses she was up against were robbed.

Corrected I stand. I tried to google to make sure and everything, my bad.

Look, I love Baz Luhrmann’s work, but the guy pretty much milks money for projects like a side hobby. If there’s a more expensive way to do something, he will fight for that way to do it. Imo it’s when he has to deal with more constraints that his vision is more successful, but...

BBC also subsidizes it’s programming, as a government channel it’s way beyond what PBS gets, which helps curb the costs of a lot of their programs.

Between this and HBO’s Paterno project, a lot of these projects are so exploitative to the actual people hurt by the experiences that it’s disgusting.

I really can’t believe there are actually people arguing that early voting/mail-in voting was the problem here and should have not been allowed. WHAT BACKWARDS LOGIC.

Have YOU been to Montana? Having less accessibility to voting stations is NOT the answer, no matter how ridiculous this outcome is right now.

Question. Have you ever been to Montana?

Scientology is a modern day cult that subscribes to may of the same shame-based punishments that are the makings of a Gilead society. So I do care that there’s an actual direct relationship between the themes that she leans to as an actor and the actual cult that she is a member of. It’s cognitive dissonance to not at…

Ha. Wow, I’m burnt. Real scorching.

Honestly, talking about Mad Men like this on different forums (NyMag, AVClub) was part of what made watching Mad Men at that time such a joy. The nuance people picked up on, intentional or not; the meanings that people abstracted for themselves; it was like being in the best seminar of American Lit.

Such a great episode. Her juggling the boyfriend who’s at the ~surprise dinner~ with her family kills me always.
