Well, yeah, they still need an audience. But if you think it’s free and open to any cosplayer, you’re extremely naive.

So, should USC now just be buried under fines and sanctions?

Let’s be fair, it was a passable episode, but nothing was going to do well following Mulaney last week. This was like a sorbet for the next episode.

OK, don’t try to put words in my mouth. That is absolutely not what I was getting at. I was making a comment that I’m sure some also thought. This was in no way an ageist comment, and the fact that you went there (not I) kinda speaks more to your character and your poor attempt to call someone out for an innocuous…

Slow your damn roll, dude. Calm down, breathe. Count to 10. You’ll be alright.

This is from Mallrats, the script he was reading on the train.

Ya got me. Smells like someone shit in their cereal.

How would that be taxing though? Put some dots on your face and spend maybe a hour recording that single line of dialogue or just facial movements? I get he was really old, but it seems like it wouldn’t be too terrible. Not to mention it wouldn’t have been as taxing as his other cameos.

Could they not have de-aged him at all for the cameo? Or was all the de-aging money used up on Fury and Coulson?

Jokes aside, your example is dumb. We’re talking about a guy who, for 30 years, has been trying to peddle this story about his white savior father and the lessons he taught a black man in Jim Crow South. And at every turn, the aforementioned black man, an actual person, said no. Then he dies and, wouldn’t you know it,…

False equivalency much? One is an epic fantasy. The other’s about some hairy little people taking a ring to a mountain.

Oh, I dunno, that it’s been well documented by his family?

It says something that it was made 5 years after Dr. Shirley’s death, especially when you learn that he was vehemently against the the movie being made, and told Villalongo as much when he was desperately trying to get it made back then.

My biggest question on this is, what traumatic experience will Young Sheldon go through that basically resets him to factory default come time for the beginning of Big Bang Theory, that ultimately negates any personal growth as an individual he undergoes in this prequel? Does someone stab him in the brain with a paper…

Are we sure Steyn isn’t actually Jared Harris in makeup playing a character?

Hiroshi Tanahashi? Looks the part.
