You should check them out! They’re really good. I personally always love learning about a good movie that I haven’t heard of.

I was just glad they didn’t go the “I’ll have you know I’m actually a virgin!” route and it was all just rumors.

Liv Hewson is really in danger of being typecast as “teenage girl in supporting role in a TV series about cannibals”.

it made me think of Eraserhead, combining the weird chicken dinner scene with the messed up baby. Shauna seems like the type to have maybe watched it.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out which non-family Bob’s Burger characters were most likely to be involved in far right politics, and once I saw “Jimmy Pesto Sr.” I was like, “Oh yeah—that tracks.”

I have a Sam Waterston story that shows he’s pretty much the *opposite* of Noth. While in school, I worked in a legal job for the Baltimore PD. Off-duty officers were (as is typical) working as on-set security for John Waters when he was filming “Serial Mom”. A couple of the cops were sitting down to lunch at craft…

I think that necklace is going to bounce around a lot.

Nah, people also liked the acting. Pretending that it was anywhere near “atrocious” is fucking bullshit, and borderline xenophobic.

I think 1- it would be a very un-Connor move, seeing as he wears his heart on his sleeve and isn’t as much into all the backstabbing, and 2- he doesn’t like Matsson so he would likely be against the deal as well.

“Nobody actually watched this show because of the acting and drama”

Did you watch in Korean? Or with the shitty dubbing?

Well, whether you can abide critics changing their minds about something is a separate hang-up. I’m talking about finding it “inconsistent” that (just as a hypothetical example), Entertainment Weekly gave the Eminem album a positive review and People gave it a negative one. You can’t hire critics and say “make sure…

This is a pretty judgmental and cynical attitude. “Sure, he’s keeping families out of homelessness, but is he doing it for the right reasons??”

Ah yes, another bizarre and embarrassing instance of one writer for a website not being in lockstep agreement with another writer for another website, who have the same parent company and absolutely no other editorial overlap. Weird!!

I don’t really have a problem with someone using their relatively high profile as a way to increase the profile of a specific charity, providing they are not charging for that service.

Why do they need to get on the same page?

He has a high enough profile that he can accept more expensive roles. He is funneling that money into projects that work to help the homeless do just that - eat and pay rent. This is going to help a lot more people eat and pay rent than casting a single struggling actor who doesn't have the same name recognition.

Oh FFS

I’m trying to think of other stories in which a person willingly goes/stays in the past for love. Time After Time and Back to the Future III (sort of) come to mind, both funnily enough involving Mary Steenburgen. Probably some Doctor Who episodes.  Oh, and Outlander of course. 

great write-up as usual, one of the only columns i look forward to anymore. someday it would be great to see this as a collection in print!
