Bus taker!

I also think that Lorne and NBC are not going to clean house the way they used to do. They see the value of seasoned veteran performers, even if they miss a few shows each season. I also think they’re going for a big cast because they want a diverse cast who can bring different perspectives. You can’t have Billy…

Just wait until Dune opens (2021? 2022?), when we can finally judge his portrayal of Paul Muad’Dib Atreides.

Ask your teen-aged niece or daughter — he seems to have carved out a niche for himself as The Floppy-Haired Teen Idol With Real Acting Chops (he played the younger version of Murph’s brother in Interstellar before scoring big as the lead in Call Me By Your Name — got an Oscar nod for it and everything!). He was also…

SNL seems to think it’s a lot more funny than it is.

Eventually the whole show will just be that cast roll call they have at the beginning of the show

I caught some of the Tom Hanks repeat of the 1988 season premiere that ran at 10 p.m. here and was surprised by how few people were on the stage for the goodnights. The cast had only 8 members then. These days with guest stars and music guests, it’s closer to 30 people at the end every week.

I haven’t seen a single film with Chalamet in it, but recognized who he is. Just by watching talk shows, the entertainment portion of the news, and hell, glancing for like a second at the header pics on articles on sites like this very one (oh, and the Dune trailer, which I guess will probably be the first Chalamet…

I wonder if COVID has something to do with why they’re doing fewer, longer segments. Both less time to test out a lot of material + less time for blocking, costuming, rehearsal etc might make longer sketches more convenient. I wish they were doing more taped bits.

That’s exactly why this season feels weird at this juncture. Too many people, long cold opens and the music artist going on too long. C’mon Lorne Baby it’s okay to edit yourself! 

Also, Supergirl seems to be written by someone who either has never met a woman, or just fucking hates them. The villain is a witch who obtains an object of immeasurable power, that can let her make real magic spells. What’s the first thing she does? Try to take over the world, or at least the tri-county area? Nope,…

Happy Together: Stalky or Not Stalky?

Usually when I’m debating the meaning of a song, I’ll go to the lyric sheet and analyze the textual clues. So I googled the lyrics.

And... There’s just nothing to work with here. To quote Martin Amis (out of context), the lyrics are remarkable for how little information they…

Look, there is nothing inherently stalky about “Happy Together”. It’s a string of absolutely awful, bog-standard cliches about being in love with someone and wanting to spend your life with them.

I refuse to accept that as it’s my daughter’s favourite song.

Plot Twist: Nerd are going to be pissed about whatever

Game of Thrones Season 8. ‘Underrated’ might even be a bit of an understatement.

GoTS8 is absolutely phenomenal. A stunning achievement. Now that some time has passed and the show has percolated itself in my mind, I’d even go so far as to say it is my favorite season. About half of all the truly great and memorable…

While I won’t knock a lot of this list since I’ve only seen maybe half of them, I was surprised not to see:

I want to be Team Diana, but you’re right. If a man that age had done this to a woman in his family, no one here would be laughing. Though I too have awful relatives I fantasize about chucking down the stairs...

This is more embarrassing than my unintentional smear campaign against Sports Illustrated when Kathy Ireland was on the cover.

His comments had everything to do about the game situation that just occurred and nothing else
