BUT HE’S A SHILL FOR BIG PISTACHIO! 

I’m not going to wade into this too far, except to point out that it’s not at all hypocritical to think that the job description and the debt to the public could be different for a comedic actor and for the President of the country. 

I mean, Stewart and Colbert Rose to fame on a Viacom network and now of course Colbert is on CBS hosting a major celebrity chat show. Anyone who expects them to be Noam Chomsky or whatever the fuck is delusional.

“The obsession with Buddy Rich is really just a symptom of a larger problem in Whiplash, which is that it’s not really a movie about jazz. The film simply uses jazz as a vehicle to tell a story about ambition and the willingness to do what it takes to be great.”

Then....it’s not really a problem? If the movie is not…

David Rasche. And I couldn’t agree more. Those guys are the Greek chorus of the entire debacle. They also drive home the darkly comedic point about how low-stakes the entire thing really was; Francis McDormand just wanted to pay for some cosmetic surgery.

Brandt.

CIA Officer: We’ll... interface with the FBI on this dead body.

I would’ve watched an entire movie of JK Simmons and that other CIA guy.

The fact that The Dude comes to mind so easily probably makes that the correct answer for this question. Not only is he ineptly hilarious, but there is definitely something appealing about his nature and the way he’s presented in that story—as the guy who abides everyone else’s bullshit.

It kinda bothers me how much I love this song. And Tyler. And every other song on that album, for that matter.

Ted Cruz has the same delusion as Michael Scott, he thinks he’s a comedian, and like the siren’s call, he CANNOT RESIST the opportunity to show off his comedic skills and deliver what he thinks is a deadly verbal riposte. Which Smigel, a true comedian, turns around on him with a perfectly timed zinger.

The last episode is going to be Brienne and Tormund’s wedding. Both Daario’s are there. Also Hot Pie, who won the Iron Throne fair and square.

Will they interrupt the awards show every 15 minutes to tell us about how great Blue Apron or Casper is?

Spot on.

Despite others’ comments concerning the left/right orientation of you or the blog, the real issue here is just honest journalism.  The author tried to pass an opinion piece off as reporting by dragging in a wholly-unrelated celebrity quote.

Moderately lefty would be fine. Salon-level faux outrage is something else.

Yup. Chevy Chase may be a shitty person, but honestly, Pete Davidson isn’t even half as talented as Chase was at his age, and really shouldn’t be criticizing anyone for being a douchebag after bragging about beating off to pictures of pop stars.

I’m not a die hard Star Wars fan (Liked ESB, TFA and R1, loathed the prequels, so-so on most of the rest) so I’ve got no major gripes about anything he did or didn’t do to characters.

Problem as I saw it with TLJ was just that it was so boring. Even crap Star Wars movies tend to zip along at pace but that one had me…

Ehhhh. If he had succesfully pulled it off, he would have gone down as one of the most acclaimed directors in the history of cinema.

The problem with TLJ aren’t the subversion themselves, it’s the fact a lot of the narrative bends over backwards to justify them in a way that can be picked apart by a particularily…

I’d be the last guy to defend Chevy Chase because the guy is clearly an asshole, but his assessment of today’s SNL isn’t too far off.

As long as she’s still got time to raise her kids and get dinner cooking for her husban—
