As someone who will still go to bat for the freaking Postman (when drunk), this is right up my alley, but I can’t imagine enough of the moviegoing public agrees with me for him to make his money back.

Her family? Everything’s finally coming up Will Sasso!

The genuinely creepy thing about Tom Brady is his devotion to his health guru, and AFAIK, the only person to go there in the roast was Belichick.

I think they have to still do episodes for CC at some point under their contract, but who knows when they actually will.

It was cute and reasonably funny, but when they started downplaying the ghosts in Season 2 and focusing more on Lauren Ash and her dad, it got less interesting. Replacing Martin Mull in S1 with Brad Garrett in S2 was a downgrade.

MTV hasn’t been a thing for at least a decade (last time I checked, they were still showing the same show 24 hours a day at times), and there’s no evidence that anyone is watching Paramount+, so I have to imagine the VMAs are hitting the “reimagining” stage next.

What characters do we think Maya Rudolph couldn’t play today? The Gemini’s Twin girl? Donatella Versace?

No mention of Bush’s Razorblade Suitcase? He claimed in the late ‘90s that he put more time and energy into that album than any other.

I think in all honesty that’s because JK Rowling is not that famous a person. Like, other than Stephen King, there are no truly famous authors anymore. She wrote some books kids liked 20 years ago, and now she’s weird and hateful on the Internet, and I just don’t think she’s on the majority of Americans’ cultural…

11 hours, no comments. Is ANYONE watching this show? (I made it through half of the first episode, got bored, and haven’t been back)

My long-gestating script is heavily influenced by Orson Welles’ Paul Masson wine commercials, that scene in 54 where Mike Myers tries to have sex with Breckin Meyer, and Rescue 911. But is Vanity Fair willing to talk to me about it? Sadly, no.

I could have sworn they renewed it for two seasons and announced S7 would be the end back in ‘22. So this can’t have been a surprise to any of them.

I find it fascinating that this is literally the only thing keeping this book in the news. The other bombshells, that her agents wanted her to stay fat because she’d be more marketable and that she was a virgin until her mid-30s, barely lasted half a day in the news cycle.

Calling it now: Taylor Swift just finished the equivalent of REM’s 1995 Monster tour (when they toured in support of three multiplatinum albums at once and could play any venue in any city they wanted), and this album is her New Adventures in Hi-Fi. It’s a “good, but...” album.

I’ve been trying to understand why the AI-ness of the posters is a problem, but the fact that NONE OF THESE LOCATIONS APPEARS IN THE FILM is not a problem. Earlier posters featured the Statue of Liberty. Guess what? It’s not in the film either. I saw it last night, and at no point do they go to Chicago, Miami, LA,…

I’m trying to think if I’ve ever seen John Early play a character that wasn’t an NYC hipster millennial. 

Keep hearing vaguely good things on the Internet about how good this show is, still don’t know anyone personally who’s seen it.

Yeah, but things were so atomized by the 90s that the Hot 100 isn’t the guide to a “hit” that it was in the ‘80s. #4 on modern rock pretty much guarantees that every white suburban kid who was between 12 and 25 when the song came out heard it enough to remember it. But those people are probably too old for Coachella…

Having read the book, it’s a warts and all portrayal of Farley and his family. I wonder how the biopic will treat Farley’s dad, who was substantially north of 400 pounds and had a deeply dysfunctional relationship with Chris. I believe it was Chris’ priest who flat-out blames the dad for Farley’s death in the book.

IIRC, Bob Odenkirk is the one who was royally pissed off that Farley did that sketch, and blames it on his ultimate demise. He discusses it in the biography.
