Madonna had a one-in-a-generation 1985 on the charts: Like a Virgin, Material Girl, Crazy for You, Into the Groove, Dress You Up. Imagine all those songs being released across different albums and soundtracks over such a short span of time.. we will not see that kind of dominance in our lifetimes with actually good…

Why is she at so many parties with Hollywood celebrities who apparently know her age?

Your last points is spot on.

Anyone remember his short arc on Six Feet Under a few years before The Office (although he looked/acted about 10 years younger). Brief, touching quasi-romance with Ruth in the morgue.

It said “full nudity” not “full-frontal nudity”.. is there a difference?

What was keeping her with him after just a few months of dating? There were no threats, no violence. People *can* just leave a shitty but non-abusive relationship and go on their way quietly.

Yeah.. if he didn’t want her to surf with men and pose in bathing suits.. why didn’t she just break up with him?

That was a poorly written sentence. The intent was: “IF someone had gotten canceled or there were creative differences, THEN Gad would’ve hit all of the bingo spots.” But it hadn’t happened that way.

And then Tom Hanks came back from the island and complicated it even more.

Sadly, it does seem like the pandemic ruined the Pixar brand. Kids have now been conditioned to get these movies instantly whenever they want instead of going to the theater. And it doesn’t help that the quality seems to have suffered at exactly the same time (Onward, Lightyear, just too many sequels).

It may have been “happening” for centuries, but virtually every grammar school child from the last century is taught that “he/she” is singular and “they” is plural (at least into the 1980s, when I was in grammar school). Were others also tough to use “he or she” when you don’t know the gender of a sentence’s singular…

Ugh I didn’t like that comment either, and I really like Adebiri. You’re an actor, not a writer. Collaboration is fine, but Ortega’s complaints sounded whiny and pretentious.

I thought I read somewhere a long time ago that Perrineau’s character was written off because his onscreen son Walt grew so tall between seasons that it just wasn’t believable for him to be the same age over the series (in which not that much time actually goes by, at least for long stretches).

State Senator

Was also surprised he folded so quickly after seeming not to take anyone else’s empty threats (Callie, Shauna, Jeff) very seriously up to that point.

One of the “if this was real life” scenarios I find so odd about this show is that if a coach did survive a crash with all the teammates, he would totally be “in charge” by virtue of being the only adult. Strange that they structured the character to be an afterthought so that he can disappear for hours or days on…

This is so obvious I can’t believe it was omitted in favor of something like Leaving Las Vegas, which is depressing but hardly even discussed anymore.

This particular film would’ve been much better if it had more of Jesus pre-crucifixion it in (a la the first 2/3 of Last Temptation) instead of boring and repetitive lashings.

And I used to watch Alternative Nation religiously. She seemed kooky and irreverent.. a little unhinged. Still can’t believe she took such a deep dive to the dark side
