I had a friend who boasted that he could ejaculate without an erection.

Portugal has these famous sweets called ovos moles (“soft eggs”) which consist of a filling of egg yolk mixed with sugar and a thin outside made from communion wafers. They’re molded into the shape of seashells or barrels. Invented by nuns, of course.

That is what very large corporations tend to do.

Don’t underestimate Lord of the Ducks. He knows all the viewer counts for my show, and I don’t even have a show.

They could reboot the show for the Trump era and call it Jacksonvillia.

Very true – some of these interviewees might have even said, “Wait, are you talking about MLK’s son or something? I’m confused.” And they just cut that part out.

Oh, definitely! Oakley Guy was full of shit! But y’know, people do that every day: tell little lies just to keep the other person’s story going. Person A: “Remember that scene in Casablanca where Rick punches out Ilsa?” Person B (who never saw Casablanca): “Oh, yeah. Crazy scene.”

Normally I’d laugh along, but Martin Luther King III is very much alive and certainly has been calling out Trump on his shit. I’d be surprised if any of these interviewees were familiar with MLK III before their interviews, but it’s quite possible that their internal logic, limited as it may be, said, “This

We’re saying the same thing, but to different ends.

My editor just assumed that I meant to have the film in 2.35:1, because, he figured, what director wouldn’t prefer that? When I told him to get rid of the letterbox, he rolled his eyes, like, “Really? Okay, whatever... it’s your movie...” He was not an editor I’d work with again.

Old theater screens had black curtains on the sides that would be widened when a 2.35:1 film was being projected. The curtains would narrow for 16:9 (or even older 4:3) movies. The height of the screen would remain constant. Because the projector itself can’t move closer, its anamorphic lens - old 2.35:1 films were

Allow me to kvetch about widescreen aspect ratios. There’s nowhere else I can vent this pet peeve of mine, so it might as well be on this page.

Try living and working out here for 26 years, and maybe you’ll understand that this “seeming” you insist upon is no match for actual reality.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles and worked in the entertainment industry since 1992. You are wrong.

Part of me thinks I’d actually watch Naked and Afraid if nothing was blurred out; the other part thinks censorship may be best in this case.

I’m thinking he needs an orangutan buddy in season 9.

People don’t talk about it now, but that film was so popular that it ignited a nationwide fad of jumping off of California mission towers. Things got so bad that Alfred Hitchcock had to invent cross-dressing shower murder just to create a new distraction.

Try listening to the Leonard Nimoy version!

It’s nice to see her career taking off. She was great in Always Shine (if the movie itself wasn’t that great) and also did a lot with a small part in Blade Runner 2049.

I (mostly) agree with what you’re saying, but it should be pointed out that, for guild awards, eligible nominees must be members of those guilds. I don’t believe Lucrecia Martel or Chloé Zhao are in the DGA. (Zhao did pick up a Best Director nod at the Independent Spirit Awards; in fact The Rider picked up multiple
