But... today... is Wednesday?  So that episode is tonight?

also always respect the absolute gall of the coen bros to make THAT as their followup to fargo. 

I’m a big fan of Pine, and good for him for making his own version of BIG LEBOWSKI, but this:

So I totally get it if you don’t like his shtick or whatever. Not everybody likes the same thing and that is fine. But the idea that he is not likeable in general is silly. His whole hugely successful career is based on his likability, and his IS still hugely popular and followed. Sure, his recent relationship issues…

He’s extremely likable.  That’s why he’s famous and does stand up in front of sellout crowds.  

I haven’t watched this yet, and honestly might not at all, but I appreciate Mulaney taking swings even if they don’t work out. ‘The Sack Lunch Bunch’ was a risk and could have cratered, but I really liked it.

What Chandler said. 1980 was musically not really part of any trend. Pop culture generally between trends. 80's music wouldn’t really begin until MTV.  

Already knew Seinfeld was an asshole, but... wow.

Anyone immune to the charms of Richard Kind are dead inside. 

Correct. The “no one knows what they’re doing” era of Pop music was the 90s, in which swing, big bang, quasi surf rock, ska, and The god damned Squirrel Nut Zippers all got chances to shine on “pop” stations.

His and Ryan Gosling’s recent tonsorial moves indicate that 2024 is to men’s hair what 1980 was to pop music: Nobody knows what the hell they’re supposed to be doing.

What a bizarre critique. The special was funny;  like, really fucking funny. He revealed as much as he needed to in order to make the jokes work. Not every special needs to be doing some sort of Hannah Gadsby style confession.

Jeff Donut is such a Matt Berry name, sounds like a headshot in Jane’s office in Toast of London. He’s gotten a lot of mileage out of his fruity actor voice, and what a fun music-monger.

If only the crew on the set of The Twilight Zone could’ve had the spine to tell Landis “Fuck you, I’m not working on this insanely dangerous stunt, you child-labor-law-violating piece of garbage.”

Yeah, I’m surprised this hasn’t come up more. All I heard was she was the armorer, but was she, technically?

This whole thing is bullshit and she’s being used a scapegoat for everything wrong with this backwards ass production. She had like three jobs at once. I hope Baldwin gets his day but we all know that’s bullshit and he’ll be working again by summer. 

“Technically, she wasn’t a working armorer on the day of the shooting and was being paid as a prop assistant.”

I am hoping this will serve as a deterrent to beginner armorers taking jobs they are unqualified for and give them the backbone to say “No!” to unsafe requests.

She deserves some kind of punishment for her failures and role in this tragedy.

So, he was doing some unsavory shit that would soil his reputation and he thinks he needs to control the narrative. Basically copy Richard Pryor’s act after he got so high he set himself on fire. Cause if he had a stroke or an aneurysm or a household accident, none of this info lockdown would be necessary.
