Yup. Lea Seydoux is playing Margot Fenring but I can’t find any announcement about Hasimir at all.  If the Lady is in it, her husband probably is too.

I literally took one look at that dude’s picture and said “Fenrig”.

The Obvious answer is Count Fenrig, and that is the educated geeks guess, but it could really be anything, it could be someone in the court, but if its a named character, the money is on Count Fenrig.

I thought this Dune was far better.  I know the original was limited by FX but everything looked like Dune meets Flash Gordon.  I really liked the overall aesthetic of this version and lord knows the acting was better.

This is seriously a strong candidate for the biggest self-own in the history of Twitter. The tweet where Greta crushed him is one of the most liked tweets ever on Twitter, and then on top of that he helped get himself trying to do a thoroughly bad reply! What a wild thing to happen. 

Imagine being SO INSECURE that you blow up your whole criminal enterprise because you can’t let a comment from a teenager go?

Fun Boy Three, not Fun Ball Three.

Yes. We can always find a way to blame the women when the men behave badly.

It’s like if the head of Disney literally collected the six Infinity Stones and used them to wipe out half of all Marvel movies as a tax write-off.

In theory, they have to be paying some kind of residuals to actors, writers, directors, etc. But I can’t imagine its really that onerous of a cost.

I just don’t think the guy has any idea what he’s doing.

Generally, but particularly in retail/service, people don’t quit a job, they quit a manager. 

So, to clarify: a young actress starring in a hotly-anticipated TV series experienced as-yet-unidentified symptoms of an illness, and because she didn’t instantly know it was Covid and single-handedly halt production over it, she deserves to be put on blast?

Fuck, I loved this show.

Oh this really, really hurts. Genuinely fantastic show, one of the best comedies from the last few years. The fact that so many vapid franchise shows reign supreme and wonderfully artful shows like this get canned is heartbreaking and portentous of television’s future, metrics be damned. Long live Tati. :’(

I miss having a President who could confidently deliver zingers and was inarguably/unquestionably oriented to person, place, time, and situation. 

Let’s concede that the school probably couldn’t do nothing about this, but they sure didn’t need to go straight to threatening dismissal from the soccer team and possible complication of her ability to graduate. To me this has one semester of disciplinary probation written all over it. It would also send a message to…

Aymond had the altar removed and set it on fire.

Well, y’know, if yer gonna get fired from a gig, you might as well get fired for a reason.

Knives Out was wonderful but I was originally skeptical that “Benoit Blanc” needed to live on in the sequel(s?), but this does sound very good. And now that he’s left Bond behind, I need all the Daniel Craig I can get!

Dave Chappelle has a bit about Michael Richard’s on-stage melt-down, and I think about it every once in a while. (1:51 in the video below)

Comedians aren’t a monolith, but they are often a tight knit group. These guys were (usually) friends before anyone else knew their names. They typically have a better understanding…
