Beep boop sometimes bot make typo

This makes total sense. Tarantino is the kind of guy who is narcissistic/confident enough to write some masturbatory bullshit but also self aware enough to realize that it is bullshit and scrap it for something a little less masturbatory. And I say that as a fan.

Really enjoying The Gentlemen Netflix show so far. It’s fun to watch Vinnie quietly patroling around. I’m only a few episodes in so far and waiting to see when he finally gets to do some violence.

RTD is completely correct. Unless there’s a massive change in the way people think about public broadcasting — and I don’t think there will be — the BBC as a publicly-funded organization is doomed.

I mean, if they are looking for a guy to direct a magnificent and bloody shootout, QT may be willing to make one more picture.

In one magnificent and bloody shootout. Coppola will later claim he was invited but couldn’t find a ride.

Yep, playing B&B straight is what did it for me, particularly Ryan Gosling’s voice.  It’s oddly calming.  That juxtaposition put it over the edge.

The BBC is stuffed in the short term. Last year the government agreed that the licence fee could rise with inflation, so the BBC made it’s commitments for the coming year on that basis. Then the government reneged on its promise. At the time, inflation was 10%, so the BBC is functionally broke.
This year should see a…

Generations aren’t real, man.

The license fee has been an open sore for a while, but the culture wars are a huge part of that nowadays too, so he’s probably not all that far off.

The concern is that the fee which funds the BBC is going to be eliminated in the near future, forcing the BBC to get funded privately like the other British TV networks like ITV.

Such a boring take.

[No laughter] from the stone-faced extras though, who are the real MVPs of this bit.

Absolutely nothing, which is why it’s the perfect place to put them. I’d rather they titled the sketch “AI Town Forum” and left out the fact that B&B are in there, because the gag is dependent on the idea of B&B’s presence there being completely out of left field.

“What do B&B have to do with AI?”

Yeah, there’s a sketch comedy cool kid ethos that says breaking during a sketch represents a kind of violation of a sacred trust between writer and performer and audience. And certainly you never want to go Full Fallon. But seeing a seasoned professional (and a very funny performer) like Gardner just absolutely lose…

To this day, it amazes me that Colleen Haskell from Survivor  was the romantic lead in that movie.

Fat, dumb and so racist that Republicans say ‘Hey, maybe that’s a bit too racist!’ is no way to go through life, son.

“But there’s no easy solution to this.”

Giving every asshole a global voice, and allowing them to be anonymous in the process. What could go wrong? We need to figure out away to make bigots feel shame again, to make them worry that their abominable speech may well earn them a poke in the nose.
