The “Well, I attended Juliard...” speech in the original is so inspired and was almost entirely ad-libbed. Keaton designed a lot of the makeup look himself. He really created this character and I can see how it would be odd to have this weird ghost creep turned into endless kids toys and a cartoon. I had forgotten the…

I would also think celebrities might be much more likely to have set their phone to ignore calls/texts from unknown numbers. BUT if he made the reservations online and didn’t read or notice the info about text notifications, that’s on him. If for some reason that wasn’t going to work, let the restaurant know you need…

I always think of The Chris Farley Show sketches: “remember when you did that thing? that was awesome *giggles*” 

One time I was on a very small 6 person plane with family going from one island to another. Someone had to sit in the co-pilot seat and I volunteered because it seemed like it would be a cool experience. The pilot caught on that the other reason I volunteered was because everyone else was a little afraid of flying.…

I haven’t but that is great character work. Anyone not immediately apologetic when stepping on anyone’s clothes or shoes by mistake is a total asshole.

If you watch the video, the usher was really up on Rowland to the point where she stepped on the train of her dress (which may be borrowed) and not letting her stop at all. If someone was stepping on my dress, touching me and rushing me, I would also be upset.

yeah looks like a “what if Xavier and Magneto where the same person” given the obvious ability to control Wolverine’s body in the clip, which Magneto could do but Xavier couldn’t, but the obvious Xavier look and accent.

Yeah, at this point it feels like she’s just trying to score points because she knows her fans love the drama of the diss tracks. 

As with any government program, the possibility for exploitation exists but here there’s a lot more on the line than just some pandemic loan money. Paying people for organs is the sort of thing that only works on paper because otherwise it can’t work in an economy that more or less requires exploitation to function.

The fact is, there’s nothing Love likes more than being a hater.

First, given how the government regulates all the other markets, there’s a slim chance this one would be well-regulated.

So, like, Detroit? Or backwater Mississippi?

I have a problem where rather than fixing the economy, we just doom a class of people to selling their body parts and further sacrificing their health to grease the wheels of the nightmare machine we have running.

The plot should be that Monopoly has Jumanji’d us all without knowing and it’s why we’re in a capitalist dystopia where the New York Times is publishing op-eds about how it should be legal to sell your kidney.

My real concerns about AI aren’t that it will replace workers so much as the copyright and IP issues that would allow companies to profit off the work of others without giving any credit or payment.

The one hope for this movie is we retain how absolutely tasteless and tacky Delia is in her pursuit of being “artistic.”

This is really interesting because I used to wonder, too, “Wouldn’t romantic relationships between crew members be discouraged?” but I am reading a great book called “Packing for Mars” about the real research and science of long-term space travel and most experts have come to accept that if they send a crew into space…

Life is complicated and I agree it seems so reductive to try to look at this situation in terms of victims and villains, especially when we can’t ever really know what these relationships were like. I do feel weird about people who talk about their babies “saving” them. It’s that thing where if you’re not willing to…

I really wish that the whole group had chosen not to re-up and just get a whole new cast. One, I feel bad for the crew having to put up with personal drama BS but also their “heroes” on the show are often dealing with big emotional issues and I imagine being around that much tension would make the whole experience…

Unfortunately, yes. It’s the latin “cum” like “magna-cum-laude.”
