I don’t think she’s widely disliked. I do think she’s seen as someone who showed her hand comedically and then didn’t have anything interesting to say after that. The early seasons of Inside Amy Schumer and Trainwreck: great. Her stand-up back then: great. Snatched and I Feel Pretty: not so great. Life & Beth? Don’t…

Amy Schumer sold out an arena in my town in 2016. If you think about where her career is in 2023, that’s crazy. Thanks to this article, I just remembered there were new Inside Amy Schumer episodes. I had forgotten about it, because I haven’t heard a single person talk about them, in person or on the Internet.

Let’s see here, half your age + 7... ok... carry the 1... checks out!

I think a fair number of people gave Patton Oswalt shit, at least of the “hoo boy, hope he knows what he’s doing...” variety.

My first thought was, “isn’t Rachel Brosnahan too old for Lois Lane?” but she’s only 32! She just always seemed older on Mrs. Maisel.

Whenever I hear someone talk about “my boys,” I automatically now think of Klaus from American Dad.

Of course he wants to make a documentary about Greg Louganis, who first came to public attention as a 16-year-old in a Speedo at the Montreal Olympics. Can’t imagine why Singer would be interested in that...

So it’s gonna air at 1 a.m. EST on Sunday morning after an SNL rerun? Is my local affiliate required to air it, or can they keep showing LifeLock infomercials in that time slot?

Without making me watch dozens of episodes of Clone Wars, is there a reasonable explanation for why Ahsoka (who started out as Anakin’s padawan) wasn’t killed at the end of the prequels? It sure seems like we keep meeting more and more Jedis who somehow survived.

It got better, after about season 3.

So the first excerpt was about Lost. The second excerpt is about SNL but heavily features the Sanz lawsuit (which concerns events that allegedly happened in the early ‘00s) and an ‘08 set visit the author took. Is the entire book going to be about how shitty the Aughts were?

Are they bitter because they were only there briefly (and presumably didn’t please Lorne)?

What’s weird is it seems there are several shows with that exact same premise that have come out since Mulaney. Single Drunk Female comes to mind immediately, as does Mom, which would have probably been in the same pilot cycle as the NBC Mulaney show.

Left out of this article but very much discussed in the NYT piece is the fact that the Picassos obtained for the exhibition are pretty much whatever random stuff they could get. There’s no effort to find pieces that demonstrate Picasso’s misogyny or his cultural impact. It’s just “here’s some Picassos!”

Hot take: the writers’ strike is the best possible thing that could have happened to the Flash. With all of the talk shows on hiatus due to the strike, there’s no chance of the stars of this movie being forced to answer awkward questions on national TV, and no pressure on the studio to produce Ezra Miller for any…

They said they were spacing things out to give audiences more time to watch (see Secret Invasion moving from spring to summer, etc.), but it sure seems like they’re spacing things out to allow them time on the back end to overcome the effects of this strike...

So Taylor Swift has become the Garth Brooks of the ‘20s, continually packaging and repackaging?

I can report that there is STILL Oz: the Great and Powerful merch on the shelf at Ollie’s stores, 10 years later. Now that’s a sign of a forgotten movie.

Or, maybe this cast is just way too bloated. There’s no reason Abishola’s kid should be in the main cast. Like all Chuck Lorre shows, the stories they were telling the first season aren’t the stories they’re still telling, but for whatever reason, no one has left the cast. Anyone remember French Stewart on Mom? Or,…

Fun fact: “Sundown” was about Lightfoot’s girlfriend at the time, Cathy Smith. She later moved to LA, became a small-time drug dealer, and injected John Belushi with the speedball that killed him.
