She realized she couldn’t top the Weird Al movie.

<-- Neglects to mention they own the bots.

To be sure, I just bought Madonna tickets here in Sweden (Stockholm, so not exactly a backwatater) with NO problem AND for a fair price. (Standing GA tickets right against the stage for what amounts to just under $160.)

“Service fees are determined by the venue” < — neglects to mention that Live Nation usually owns said venue.

Ever since I was a kid, and I watched Charlie Tuna begging to get yanked out of the water by a hook in his jaw so he could be filleted, canned, and eaten, I’ve always been a little weirded out by ads that want me to murder/eat cute, sentient, anthropomorphized food.

Tucker Carlson is a treasonous bigot and is imminently punchable. I don’t need M&Ms to tell me that.

I’m hoping this Super Bowl ad is just Maya eating a bowl of M&Ms and telling Tucker Carlson to suck a fat one.

I don’t understand the outrage, I don’t understand why Maya Rudolph would want to be a part of this, I don’t understand why M&M’s need personalities, nor do I understand why it’s a problem that they do.

Supposedly, that’s exactly how it’s run. Supposedly.

I could actually see GLOW being the major argument against this claim, as it was cancelled pretty much because of COVID delays.  They were ready to do another season, but the nature of the show meant that a ton of people would have been in close contact in the early days of the pandemic.

There’s more to it than that. Netflix itself has revealed that they look at viewer behavior differently depending on the viewer. Netflix wants shows that do two things: bring in new customers and stop existing customers from cancelling.

It’s easy to judge a show a success or failure when you make the rules 

I’m assuming ‘successful’ here means ‘met or exceeded new/retained subscriber goals during show’s initial run’.  Netflix seems like it’s run by living breathing metrics and not human beings.

The best sketch was FRANCE!

Considering that shit could have cost him a leg or two I’d say he’s had a pretty good result.

In his defense it was his own snow cat and he was trying to jump on it because it started to roll away.

Come now, people, did we learn NOTHING from The Day of the Triffids?

“Multiple reports have estimated Diamond and Silk (Rochelle Richardson) to have a combined net worth of $5 million as of 2023.”

She’s going to find “heaven” a tad warm for her comfort.

I’m sure she had redeeming features and people that loved her, but from where I sat, all I could see was an opportunist who traded her people and her dignity for the saddest and oiliest approximation of fame.
