No. I will fight that opinion. A low-tier Americans or Better Call Saul or Fargo is substantially better than the best of the last five years of Sherlock.

Sherlock was a show with a good cast and premise that managed two out of three good episodes for two seasons and went violently off the rails after that. It has been…

The video is specifically about using this movie as a screenwriting thought experiment. As a teaching tool, basically. This is not an example of what you're talking about.

"Tuuuuurns out Richard Simmons was just 'batin' to the oldies and injured his wrists and genitals, slipping on the sweat. Nothing to see here, welcome to Comedy Bang Bang."

You should submit that as a Comedy Bang Bang catchphrase.

Yes.

I think you may have gotten my point a little backwards.

Right. I know a few trans people who feel this way about drag.

Yeah, I don't really agree with the satirical viewpoint either, but you did say that you see Atamaniuk's Trump as more driven by stupidity and caprice, and I think that's the other way around…I think I've talked you around to that opinion too.

I guess we're sort of making the same point from different angles. I see that white power gag as a pretty cruel bit (in a good way)—it evolves from parody to satire on the subject to satire on the audience so fast you barely realize what's happened. I saw Atamanuik and Adomian in Portland, and Atamanuik spent a large…

Atamanuik's Trump can be *drastically* more malicious than Baldwin's. Violent and unhinged at times. I think that's the distinguishing factor—Baldwin seems like a watered down version.

This is a spectacular idea.

It seems like you think I said I like Trump more than Bernie at some point. To be clear—I didn't. Nobody's arguing that. I'm not totally sure what you're talking about here. Trump is a rampaging narcissist fascist shitstain.

I'm glad we got there eventually.

No, I'm not actually doing that. I'm not directing any hate towards Bernie at all. Acknowledging that he showed up to a fact fight with a pillowcase full of rainbows isn't the same as putting him on blast.

Lying about relatively basic economic facts is absolutely worse than your interpretation of somebody's level of ambition/entitlement, especially given that these people had the same ambition: to be president.

Also, he's always playing the same character. I was so disappointed when Devin Banks failed to rescue those durn Baudelaires.

We prefer to be known as gnome-Americans.

It's lovely and worth grabbing when you see it.

Correlation? I'm not sure there's a difference.

I'm not sure I was being an optimist by saying "yes, let's punch people" and then snarking on your lived experience of discrimination, but you're very charitable! You don't owe me any kind of apology but I'll take it anyway.
