Jiminy Glick interviewing Mel Brooks:

RE: Opening monologue. What I wouldn’t give to see - two aging female comedians strolling onto the stage like they own it, laughing about the fact that they have already hosted a dozen times.

That ending was so weird and out of the blue when I read it. I hope Payne comes up with a better one--he did for the first film after all.

I didn’t think McAllister or the other teacher were deserving of sympathy. They fucked around and found out. And I’ve known people who work in politics, and plenty of them are just like Tracy. Her self-righteousness had nothing to do with being a woman, it was her being hardened by the insecurities instilled by her…

Kind of a weird pivot (and I do realize it’s because it follows the Election novel, not the movie), because one of my favorite takeaways from the first film was that Tracy’s stepping on people, alienating everyone around her, and general constant striving had paid off while McAllister had completely torpedoed his life…

Nicole Kidman didn’t spend an entire half day filming those obnoxious “aren’t movies great?” ads they play when you’re already at the fucking movies just so people could watch things on streaming!

Because the author says that 

Why is straight to streaming bad?

I’d send a thank you note and twenty dollars to the person who installed that faulty tile 

For the fascists of the GQP this is their goal. They want us dead. Someone told me recently that they were surprised that these homophobic/transphobic politicians didn’t seem to care about the resulting youth suicides and violence that their policies and rhetoric have caused and will continue to cause and my response…

I hate that it was so damn close but I love that he lost. By about 100k votes! Thank you Georgians for voting, we are grateful. I’m very happy that the people he has wronged up to this point won’t have to see his smarmy face everywhere as their senator.

Polls closed before sunset sooo...

Newt might be too busy figuring out the best way to dump his current wife. She’s getting a bit long in the tooth and it’s time to trade up.

I still love the show, but the characters aren’t great. You’re right on with Jan, they also made Michael a good guy in the end when he’s really just a terribly selfish person.  

Wait, when did Dwight become autistic? I always thought he was an asshole because he was raised in a weird religious subculture. This is actually kind of an insult to autistic people.

The game was awesome, and this looks really well made, I’m just burned out on the past 20 years of zombie centric entertainment where we find out that actually humans are the most dangerous monsters. But I like all the people involved and the source material was wonderful the first time I experienced it.

Honest question: is Fox really going after Narcan? I thought since their bread-and-butter demographic is one in which everyone knows an addict, it would be like all those red-state politicians who are now talking treatment not jail. They’d be extremely stupid to push that junkies-deserve-to-die crap when the entire…

I blame Oprah. For him and Dr. Phil.

If he’s not on some Fox News affiliated “non-woke” medical show whose primary topics are gender-affirming care and how Narcan should be illegal within the next 18 months, I will eat several of my hats. Fox News is DYING for a quack with a veneer of authority who will say made up shit like “Puberty blockers are child…

The news isn’t that he can’t get a show now, given what he has shown himself to be, but that somehow his snake oil pushing show stayed on the air for 13 seasons. What a quack.
