oops you predicted the whole show

I think you misread it; Damien Lindelof noted that the show-within-a-show “American Horror Story” couldn’t, presumably for narrative/tone purposes, be up to Ryan Murphy standards. I’m guessing it has a very specific role in the “Watchmen” scripts and passing the bar of “exactly in Ryan Murphy’s very specific voice”…

Ron Bugger Sharry?

Yes—and to make a broader point, I think it’s a good thing that divisive directors still get to make movies every once in a while. The self-involved irony/reference bomb thing he has going on doesn’t scan as super-charming for me (although Kill Bill is so ironic I don’t mind it as much), but I buy Django and RD as…

Jackie Brown is a damn treasure and the best of his movies. Pam Grier and Robert Forster are unforgettable in that film. Anyone who disagrees can fight me.

Do I...have high spin-off potential? I hope not, I think there’s still a lot of life in my main premise, and there are a lot of interesting and valuable side characters I still want in the narrative.

I’ll come in in three colors and ship September 20.

A ginger twink with a camera and a sense of adventure? I think Superman’s Erotic Pal Jimmy Olsen has high spin-off potential.

Egg MacGuffin is hilarious.

i think you gave them the idea

and yet, endgame

Well over a year too late, but: it is comprised of 55% recycled Day Today jokes.

Shit, this looks completely fabulous. The stretch of Rockport in the sample has some series-best goofs and they’re nicely threaded together here, and Carey’s art is still unbelievable. I can’t wait for this to be out.

>Thinking back, there’s about a zero percent chance I’d ever have guessed the pilot could’ve lead to one of my 3 favorite relationships currently on TV

Washed his hands. That’s why they’re wet. No other reason.

It’s a paraphrase of something the real Armstrong-Jones later allegedly said to Margaret in a note.

I’m with you. It’s amazing to have a modern Who episode where I’m not silently seething at the music the whole time. The return of the Radiophonic Workshop-style theme is also just the bee’s tits.

So...you agree with me that the OP’s point here is disingenuous? I’m mystified by the point you’re making, but you just seem to be restating my points in a vaguely disagreeable way. I only just now noticed that you’re not the person I originally responded to so I’m not sure who or what you’re defending or opposing…

That’s just factually untrue. A three year decline is extremely abnormal for the U.S. The expectation relative to other western countries is a steady climb, and we’ve been deficient—again, nearly flat—for nearly a decade, which is only a statistical blip if you’re fucking Methuselah. Demographers and public health…

Life expectancy in the US has been going down for over two years. It’s a stat that’s trailed the UK and Canada for over forty years, and we’ve been comparatively stagnant (almost flat) since 2010.
