I just claimed my account to say, “God luck. We’re all counting on you.”

Not so sure about that, re: Dolph. He was AT the Women's March in January, dated Amy Schumer (not that opposite views can't coexist, but she's a high profile progressive), and he runs in a pretty liberal alt-comedy circle. I don't follow him on social media, so I may be missing something major, but I've only seen

I've had the same question, but here's the answer I've created for myself: the show is set in "the future" and it's a future in which the aesthetics and fashions of the 60's have come back into style. It helps ground the setting for me, though I'm also okay with the "unstuck" idea mentioned here.

YES. I watch it with my nine year old son, but in truth, my nine year old son watches it with me. It's just really mellow, silly, smart fun.

Because all references to "Mulaney" have been scrubbed from television records / histories.

Preferably a place populated by at least Fourvel-uptuous maidens.

Forgive the dorkiness of this reply, but I remember being told by someone who worked on a courtroom show that the plaintiff and defendant are each paid an established amount for appearing, and if damages are granted, they are deducted from one and added to the "take" of the other. So, the verdict is binding, but the

that Owens promo did two things that made me happy: 1. It legitimized the match that had been, to that point, less than an afterthought; and, 2. It *probably* writes-out the worst-case-scenario in which Owens is squashed and made to look illegitimate. He still might very well lose, but I feel confident that he'll be

They're not planning it. (They're totally planning it.)

The Curse of Stephanie McMahon was on full-display here. First, it seems that whenever a RAW sees fit to begin the show with a Steph segment (a backstage Steph segment no less) it's the writers' code for "We've got nothing."

I love it too. I remember, in the midst of the backlash against the album, begging people to listen to that track. It's reminiscent to me of "With Or Without You" in terms of its sound and tone. So good.

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever heard. When it pops up on my iPod at random I still make it a point to stop what I'm doing and listen. Oddly, it plays a somewhat significant role (as does Mark Kozelek) in the film adaptation of Steve Martin's "Shopgirl".

I'm still not sold on Jost and Che's chemistry. The standard, you-go-then-I-go rapport is there, but man, every time they try to "riff"with each other, it's stunted, awkward, and usually monosyllabic. It feels like watching two people in an entry level improv class try to work through their first scene.

I haven't been this intrigued since the Internet outed Mike Shur as "Ken Tremendous"!

Watching that, I thought Miz was going to go with a "My style keeps me healthy. Look where your style got you. Who are you to question me?!" promo. I actually think the "YOU'RE the coward!" angle missed the mark a bit.

Only they ran that angle at WM XXX with Bryan. I am all for shaking up a main event that is already DOA, but there's got to be a more creative way to do it than repeating the program from two years ago.

Good point. To add one thing to it — the idea that the audience is unaware that the "trick has already started" is made all the more satisfying by the fact that the FIRST line of the movie is a Borden voiceover, saying, "Are you watching closely?" It's as if Nolan is daring the audience to discover the answer from the

Nolan "gives away" the fact that Borden is actually twins quite a few times over the course of the film (which, fwiw, I show as a film study in my HS English class). For instance, early in the story, Borden tells Angier. "This is the trick," as they watch an old Chinese magician stagger to his carriage after a
