Maybe you are making a joke, but the Armand Hammer he is named after made his money in oil. He did buy some stock in Arm & Hammer as a joke, but the name is completely coincidental.

His family’s loaded, right? If he really wants to make something “outside of the Hollywood system,” it shouldn’t be that hard for him. He probably has a bunch of time shares he can use as locations too.

I wonder if it's the same for songwriters.

That's a lot of fucks you gave.

Typically, the writer and editor defer to the director. If the director wants a line rewritten or a scene re-edited, they can usually tell the writer or editor to do it. Not always (not to mention the studio and the producers have a say too), but that’s how I was taught.

I am perplexed by your comment. (Re-reads the chain of comments leading up to it...) Ohhhhhh.

No thanks. I’ll just wait for the Possession-branded asymmetrical PvP horror game.

I think comedians tend to have their personal opinions out there more than other people, so they’re much more at risk for saying something people don’t like.

but, ironically, it plays Manitoba

(insert Zorak shaking his fist animation here) I’LL EAT HIM RAW!

Come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind seeing Zorak mow down about 90% of the late night talk show pool.

Zorak will try to kill Seth Meyers, pretty much instantly...can we get them to play for Jimmy Fallon instead?

I hear these guys work cheap:

Why are we giving this song any attention when people unthinkingly sing “Let It Snow” even though it’s clearly written by Randian libertarians who next to the comfort of their fireplaces believe the unhoused get whatever meteorological punishment they deserve for not working hard enough?

What could be more timely than a June 2024 post resuscitating a niche cultural debate from 2015 about a 1949 Christmas song?

‘It’s a song about, as our Britt Hayes put it, “a woman being held hostage by some guy who may or may not have drugged her adult beverage.”’

Christ, isn’t a little early for the “Baby It’s Cold Outside” clickbait discourse machine to fire up again? Didn’t we settle this years ago, or has the COVID brain fog destroyed that part of our collective memory?

I know it’s been reviewed on this site, but I urge everyone who sees this to check out I Saw the TV Glow. It’s great to make movies about trans people, but it’s even better when a trans person gets to make a movie.

You think his anti-vax stance alone would be enough to keep a HEALTH CARE foundation from booking him. The filthy content is just lagniappe.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Henson documentary, but for Henson fans, the multi-part deep dive into Henson’s entire career that Defunctland did a few years ago is absolutely extraordinary and a must-watch.
