Doesn’t this contradict the Academy memo from a week ago, “Make the awards show watchable, by any means necessary”?

Uh, not what I meant at all. Every outgoing writer left with a message asking us cretins to refrain from trashing the incoming staff. I think it's best to respect their wishes.

The dramatization is less entertaining than the doc it's based on, yet still worthy of a C-? That's an A.A. Dowd-level discrepancy. Not a complaint! 

Let’s start all over. Kidman, you make the documentary, Poehler, you star in the biopic.

Looks more like a young Frankie Yankovic.

We all know Kurt Cobain emerged from a reclusive, years-long heroin binge with the ability to yodel like Hank Williams, craft Brahmsian harmonies, and play guitar so well he could fake being bad at it at will, but what my theory presupposes is what if he became Charles Bronson instead?

Cher has had a #1 single in each of the past six decades. That’s a fact. I’m guessing ”Weird Al” didn’t spoof “Turn Back Time” because it would have been about the importance of keeping track of what’s about to spoil in the fridge, and he didn’t want to be merely known as the “anti-food-waste PSA guy.” Anyway, Cher is…

I could care less. A couple weeks ago, they finally stopped piping in music at my local Safeway.

Succession season 3 predictions:

They screwed around with the formula too much. Every episode is supposed to be about a teen idol from the '70s you've never heard of, who was once a huge star, but then got hooked on the cocaine and paralysed their best friend in an auto accident.

Sounds weird with more than zero-to-one people laughing.

I’ll be all around in the dark - I’ll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there’s people to eat, I’ll be there.

In other words, the show is being extended for 12 episodes.

Nah-uh, the Kate Hudson one.

For unwarranted contrast, I posted about how much I like that song Tiny Dancer by Elton John and got four likes.

Where’s the Newswire about Busta Rhymes revising his apocalypticism concept album thingy for 2020?

F. Murray Abraham plays yet another professional who is outmatched by one of his subordinates.

LeVar Burton is looking mighty pale.

And trade her MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron?
