He’ll be lucky if this one is used to prop up an old couch.

Yeah it’s hard to do sometimes, but one has to remember critics are doing their jobs.  My new film is on Amazon Prime, and the reviewers are split.  Half love it, and half hate it.  Like, really hate it.  It hurts to read their comments, but more because I’m always disappointed when someone doesn’t like something I’ve…

‘B Rosenberger Rosenberg’? ‘Inigo Cutbirth’?!?!? I have time for Thomas Pynchon (at least early Thomas Pynchon) but by god he uncorked of a whole tide of (let’s face it) middle aged white dudes who think whimsical and occasionally violent things happening to people with silly names for nearly a thousand pages is what…

Just re-watched Band of Brothers, where Schwimmer is excellent at playing a priggish, incompetent martinet. If “low-key asshole” is Schwimmer’s ideal typical role, I say go for it. Early on he had some success as a mopey sadsack romantic lead, but that 90s shit was already played out by the middle seasons of Friends.

Could you LEAN into acting any more like you?!

As someone who has liked all of Kaufman's film's, this sounds dreadful. Reading critics can't be fun when you're a filmmaker, but it's not like critics have it out for Charlie Kaufman. He's probably more well liked by critics than the general public.

Missed headline opportunity: “’Desperados’ doesn’t come to its senses.”

Nasim has so much talent and star quality - it’s a shame she never really has found the right vehicle.

In most timelines, Anna Camp is giant star.

In this timeline, she keeps picking bafflingly bad projects. (Although, as said, five-star Mexican resort, etc.)

It’s not that I don’t get your point, but I do think that the word “cult” should be reserved for real-deal abusive quasi-religious entities. There’s still a space between thinking that Elon Musk is a super-cool dude, even if you’re being sort of unreasonable about it, and letting the followers of Hubbard vacuum your…

An exploitative digital cult born from Facebook meme groups is imploding

You typed out “Norm wants to count the number of bolts in the floor of the Boston Garden” incorrectly.

There was a recent feature that touched on WKRP that suggested it was mediocre at best.  I’m not even sure what to say to that.

Not just that less is somehow expected of Diane, but that she comes off as a dilettante who views the job as a distasteful short-term solution to funding the remainder of her graduate education Meanwhile Carla is probably going to do it for the rest of her life while living hand-to-mouth as a means of takes care of…

Oh but Diane gives it back to her, and with relish. Diane can insult Carla even better than Carla can insult Diane, IMO. I think they both love it, you can see it in the way their eyes sparkle when they’re trading insults.

I didn’t get this when I was a kid, but when I watched it recently I was pleasantly surprised to…

I don’t always love The A.V. Club​’s takes on ‘70s and ‘80s sitcoms, mostly because their writers are so young (damn them), often missing obvious cultural contexts and glossing over crucial narrative nuances. (See their disastrous round-table discussion from several years back of the classic “WKRP in Cincinnati”…

Say what you will about the long-term effectiveness of the Sam/Diane thing, but I kind of liked the Sam/Rebecca relationship a little more because It showed he was capable of being just friends with a woman, to the point that he felt protective of her and angry at how she was being manipulated by Robin Colcord. That…

I have a recollection of Ted Danson once complaining that his character Sam was a normal healthy male early in the run of cheers but as the series progressed Sam turned into, basically, an idiot and compulsive philanderer, or words to that effect. 

Don’t be an asshole.
