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.

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

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

>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

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.

Hell yeah. I’m an IPA fan, but most of the bars in Portland have a ludicrous number of taps devoted to total hop bombs. A sour in every draft list all summer long would fix my whole shop.

>The Dust isn’t actually some malevolent organism or alien bacteria; it’s an endless swarm of medical nanomachines that were designed to heal people but became corrupted over time and now just turn people into zombies.

Man, if you’re going to steal Doctor Who premises —beat for beat—, might as well steal the best ones,…

FWIW, I’m a gay person who thinks you were shockingly arrogant and barely coherent in this argument, and who completely disagrees with your basic premise, which you made more difficult to agree with or even understand by being a huge jackass for no reason.

>Capitalism, even taken to its extremes, would not want to kill off its entire customer base (there is no profit in that)

Hey, you turned out to be right!

Would you, and I don’t want to get too explicit here...salad fork Michael?
