I read the book several decades after first seeing the movie (many times, as it's been one of my favorites since I was a teen). It was jarring to hear it all told from Chief Bromden's perspective after seeing him so silent during so many viewings over decades; all the more so since I was listening to the audio book,…

Northern California Sensimilla

It is not constitutional to prevent the publication of factual information. This law will be overturned if someone takes it to court.

O-tay!

There are a lot of good things that come out of California. Making it legal to suppress factual information is not one of them.

I need something to help me remember when this is going to premier. A memento of some kind perhaps?

Does Al Green sing at his church? Because I'd so be there.

He's still sexy even though it now appears there are two of him.

It's really less about the concept and more about the process. Whenever I watch a network show, they all look to me like they are still being made in the same cookie cutter factory that specializes in inoffensive blandness. So Blindspot is crazy high concept, but the show itself is made using the same rules as Harry's…

And as has been discussed here in the wake of the Dark Tower movie adaptation, Stephen King already wrote a book in which Stephen King was tormented by some of his own fictional creations. So I'm guessing the IP theft would bother King more than the murder title.

"But I can't spread my thighs for the moon's gravitational pull, so I'm gonna just thank you."

Then there is that headline that says "Fucking Fucks Fuck Up Latest Fucking Fukanaga Flick."

Wait. That's not an IRL picture of you? Well, now I'm disappointed.

I would suspect we are going to learn that a lot of the Good Place wasn't well thought out ahead of time, and that all of the residents have some serious issues. It seems pretty clear that none of our five main characters are as good or as mentally healthy as the rules Michael has laid out imply they are supposed to…

If I understand you, then absolutely. Why not try something different and see if you can pull it off? It's not like doing otherwise is producing bang-up results across the broadcast networks. Why not try giving very talented people some rope and see where that gets you?

I'm glad I came back. That was a major step up from the first two episodes. The jokes were sharper and it's exciting to see that the plot won't be stagnant. While I suspected that more (if not all) of the residents don't "deserve" to be there, I was certainly surprised to see it revealed through Jianyu. Or for that…

Thomas Magnum will now be the head of security for Donald Trump.

See, I saw the through line of the story being the intersection of worlds, both physically, in the form of the characters coming together from different versions of Earth, and psychically, in the form of reality in one world becoming myth in another. It was a continuation of the Robert Heinlein stories I loved as a…

Yeah. Why not use Holloween: The Curse of Michael Myers?
