I’m just here for the continuing arguments between the “Lynch Dune is a visionary work of art that can never be approached” camp and the “Lynch Dune is a crime against humanity” camp.

Dennis essentially just upgraded the special effects and copied David Lynch’s version (practically) shot for shot.

Yeah, people look at me like I have a second head when I say I don’t have a costco membership. They are great if you’re buying food in bulk, especially processed foods but that isn’t for me. I couldn’t go through the bulk packages in a timely manner for fresh stuff and while I can get a half flat of strawberries cheap…

But did they say she didn’t do all the episodes required for the first season? As far as having producers interview the guests, this is common practice in podcast world. Maybe they couldn’t book guests.

Did Meghan do the podcast? Yes. So how is it a grift? Did she represent herself as anything other than who she is? I doubt it as she is a well known public figure and anyone with a brain at Spotify could have checked as to her background and what the conversations would be about.

Huh. I’d have gone with “He certainly is an adult male actor that I worked with on a project awhile back. Boy howdy.”

Badaki really made the episode sing. A courtroom episode this early in the season was an interesting choice, as was having a Pike-free season opener. But the episode was so damn good that they absolutely justified that choice.

It’s a really good episode, but the second episode that just aired is seriously one of the best Trek episodes of this era and up there with a lot of the great TNG episodes. Go watch it, it’s amazing.

I never trusted Brad. He just had one of those faces.

The best part of that is that it was originally going to be alcohol but due to Tim Allen earning himself a DUI like right before they filmed the episode they scrapped it for pot instead.

Just finished watching it, and my husband and I were both “that’s Trek-Trek”. Really enjoyed.

JTT was definitely the teen heartthrob, but according to the article, Zachery was the only one of the three boys who actually continued acting post-Home Improvement (although it was mostly one-off TV guest appearances).

“I learned it from you, dad!”

Was he actually a child “star”? I thought everybody loved JTT back then, not him.

All the Home Improvement kid actors had names that sound like 19th century presidents.

That wisdom was also a product of the ‘80s and ‘90s, when a lot of theaters only had 4-6 auditoriums. If you’re dealing with a modern movieplex with a dozen screens, then you can run the latest three-hour superhero or sci-fi epic on half of them without losing revenues from fewer showings per screen. 

You, on the other hand, seem like a delightful human being.

I feel like you can point to people like Ron Howard or Kenan Thompson as examples of kid actors whose lives turned out better than most people’s at least in part due to their child stardom. I’m not saying nothing bad ever happened to or around them, but again, I can’t say that even of most people who don’t grow up to…

That’s not how this works. Doing a tv show doesn’t automatically make you rich for life. To start with, having a manager and an agent means you are losing about 25% of your income before you step on set. 

Sounds like he’s got a fairly healthy outlook based on this article. He’s identified some key things that have caused him a lot of distress and he’s sorting through how unnatural some of it has been and he’s working through how to cope with it. Why drag the dude now?
