America is getting both more prudish and more prurient at the same time

So, does this mean that Schumer will be stealing recipes from Kathleen Madigan, Tammy Piscatelli, Daniel Tosh, and the estate of Patrice O’Neal?

That’s 9 seasons of 90 minute episodes with 24 to 30 episodes a year. This was in the era of 35 mm film, Moviolas and monstrous tungsten lights not to mention six days a week of shooting with 12 to 14 hours a day average.

This one hits close to home. Back in the 80's my father bought a condo next to Drury and his then-new third wife Carla in Houston. My dad had always been a big fan and was delighted to discover he’d moved in next door to the man! Drury was a very down to Earth guy and he and my dad became good friends.

Too bad she didn’t get a chance to slap Trump in the face.  “You knew! You knew! And you let people go out there anyway!”

Do we have to choose which bad take we want? I don’t like Marie Antoinettes but I’m not too fond of Lenins either. The best system ever invented really seems to be regulated capitalism, where the rich are allowed to be rich but are actually taxed at a reasonable level. Like Scandinavia today. Or the US pre-Reagan.

Are we allowed to not like either of them, for different reasons?

Where is the praise for his sinister turn as the assassin in Three Days of the Condor (1975)?

Damn. I honestly assumed he was functionally immortal.

It’s silly to say that all representations of the Holocaust have to be 100% truthful and that, went depicting Nazi atrocities, you can’t create fictional events. Nobody is going to watch Hunters and think it’s a documentary nor are they going in ready to deny the Holocaust happened. Those are will deny the Holocaust

A one-hit wonder to many people who only listened to whatever they heard of theirs on the radio, the same way people think The Flaming Lips was also a one-hit wonder. Mazzy Star had a ridiculously avid following (me among them) who knew that they had a bunch of great songs beyond Fade Into You, and who were willing to

Gee, remember when, back in the nineties, people weren’t necessarily obsessed with whether a band took over the universe on all media platforms or not when they discussed their relative importance or influence?

Sounds like someone didn’t get any love in the early 90s. Mazzy Star was a great “mood setter”. 

Big cult following and Hope Sandoval still records and tours and sells a decent amount of records I’d imagine.

Does the headline falsely imply Carey might be involved or am I being paranoid?

Counterpoint to the snark: I like Bosch, and based on the Twitter reactions I’ve seen in the last few years, plenty of other people kept watching it too.

These are the same people that whine about trigger warnings, safe spaces, snowflakes and the like, and they lose their shit over someone making an acceptance speech in their native language at an awards show they claim not to care about. I love it. 

Clearly the movie about Englishmen winning then giving their speech in English is the only truly American outcome.

American watching TV: “Wtf is that, some kind of foreign chinese language? Not in my home!”

Fuckhole is too nice of a word for him.
