Yes, the joke was a dud. But if he was improvising, I cut him some slack. A good host improvises on live TV. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Gotta take the bad with the good I guess. Otherwise we don’t get gems like Amy Schumer’s “I was backstage doing a costume change, did I miss anything?”

I hope someone got fired for not making the kid blonder.

Oh dear. Then give it a new title. I have no problem with adaptations tweaking almost anything. But try to leave the original theme, the story’s reason for being, alone.

The character “Joe Bookman” (library detective) from Seinfeld seems like a parody of Joe Friday amped up a few notches, where his utter disgust with non-conformity is freely expressed.

Try this with just about any fast food burger and fries. Most of them are loaded with sodium which acts as a preservative. It’s not really surprising they can easily dry out over time and not decompose. But sure let’s single out McD’s for clicks and giggles. 

You know those insipid “family windows stickers” on the backs of cars? There should be one for DINKS that shows a happy couple, maybe a couple of dogs, and a big fucking pile of money.

Good list.

Yeah, the whole “podcaster helping the small town cops solve a murder” thing is so cringey. Is this The CW?

On the right, Supergirl (Sasha Calle). On the left it looks like an alt-Barry also played by Ezra Miller but with longer hair?

Robots with spinning blades for “hands”? I don’t like where this is going.

And why did Raych toss the bloody knife into Gaal’s cryo-tube? To preserve a sample of Hari’s DNA? For possible cloning at a later date?

Yes exactly. And in some cases, the frequent interruptions to let the dog out, answer the doorbell, make popcorn, bathroom breaks, and so on. Which is fine if you are okay with all that, but the flow of the movie is definitely impacted for those trying to pay attention.

I’m glad Mad Men apparently didn’t have the budget to license a lot of pop songs. I think period pieces can rely too much on pop music, and it can be lazy. I think they poured that money into sets and costuming, and was much better for it. Still the best looking show set in the 1960s, by far.

Reminds me of this quote from character actor Fred Melamed, on the subject of looks and casting in films:

Some of that interior looks like Luke’s home on Tatooine.
