I can’t forget S.W.A.T. for the weirdest reason - because I more or less forgot about it as I was watching it. I was there opening weekend with my friends because we were 19/20 year old dudes (who did not drink,) we had a week or two before we went back to college, we wanted to hang out that Saturday night and it was…

I found it at the time to be a perfectly serviceable, if very stupid, big NYC disaster movie. It really was the marketing blitz that did it in, with the studio trying to hide the monster design as long as possible (The “Size DOES Matter” campaign, with lots of ads that pushed the scale rather than the creature itself; …

On the Puff Daddy bit, I don’t remember the song at all but I do remember the great SNL parody from that fall where Puff announces that he’s currently working on another rock collab for a major motion picture called “Come With Me (Part 2)”. He hits play and nods along as Aerosmith’s “Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” plays,…

I remember Troy, I remember liking it, but I mostly remember it for introducing me to Rose Byrne.

she’s apparently never been asked to return to Star Wars?

“We established that you could move the Island through time and space by turning a WOODEN WHEEL IN THE GROUND two years ago! The final season has been a lengthy explanation of how everything to the series to this point has been a proxy war between two demigods, waged over the course of centuries! We are way past that ‘…

It’s the perfect final scene, and one you can only pull off with a talent on the level of Carrie Coon. “You want to know the answer to the central question that has motivated the characters for the entire series? Well, here it is! Now, keep in mind a lot of the third season/this entire episode was about characters…

I always assumed the negative reaction came from lapsed/casual viewers who tuned in expecting a clean and neat 90 minute wrap-up that would bullet point each and every one of the mysteries that they’d tied themselves up in knots over. If you really stuck with the show for 120 episodes and weren’t on board with the weir…

“I’m sorry, we’re all outta bananas.”

Which is why all five of my wives thought I was a saint.

The key to getting people to do something on TikTok is to call it “The [X] Challenge.” If you could get The Regular-Ass Water Challenge (“Can YOU handle drinking a pint glass of tap water? And yes, you CAN take the ice option”) trending you could put a stop to this nonsense in a week.

Well I’m sure it’s going to be followed by a ban on all physical products manufactured in China, and a ban on any businesses who carry said products. For protection.

For the latter, Landis dropped a Pinto 1,200 feet from a helicopter!

I think the concern is less that Tom doesn’t stop talking about it and more that he sells you on it in under an hour. Like “Signed over the deed to your house to the Church, packing a bag for a month on the Sea Org until you go Clear” sold.

Elon is inextricable from Tesla’s brand - by his design! - and the damage is done. Teslas might as well ship from the factory with pre-applied bumper stickers promoting race science and crappy pronoun “jokes” now.

I think we can all agree:

The daytime TV market is dying off/consolidating even more rapidly than network primetime. Clarkson’s show is one of the few major syndicated shows left.

He’s faced lots of flack for his rapid-fire, back and forth changes to Twitter over the past few months, and also from Tesla investors for spending so much time working on the social platform and not his car company.

You forgot the most important thing about Hennigan’s: You don’t smell like booze after you drink it.
