“ AND make his own custom clothing?” — A really minor point here, admittedly, but while the clothes were custom, he didn’t make them. Simply stole them, as he openly admits to Maroni -
“And by the way, the suit wasn’t cheap - you oughta know, you bought it!” 

Here’s the thing though - when people bring up Allen’s history with cocaine, it’s rarely about judging his drug use (hence more people calling him ‘rat’ than ‘junkie’) and more about his rolling on his friends to save his own ass. Plus, it’s the kind of thing that people bring up in much the same light as, say, Joe…

There’s a certain apt punchline to the fact that they’re being shown up here by the fact the show is being saved by NBC, the network that used to be regularly infamous for going on Thanos-esque killing sprees of its comedy lineup.

This.
If it were somehow proven the early loss of his father had a hand in Allen turning to cocaine (which is a stretch that’d make Reed Richards himself go “That far? Really?”) that’d be one thing, but taken on its own, it’s apples and coke-dealin’ oranges.

Though the Roseanne thing is likely a big part of it, there is another possible reading to take from this.
Given the recent reports about how a large chunk of Fox’s cancellations were sacrifices offered up on the altar of NFL, I could almost, ALMOST, buy the reading that LMS was Fox’s peace offering to the chunk of…

I really don’t get it. How can you run in the world of cocaine, turn rat, stay this public for this long and STILL not get at least your knees broken.

Is there not even justice among pushers?

As much as I’d love that, my first pick for a fictional musical would actually be The Critic’s Apocalypse Wow!

Given our weird pseudo-retro culture of late (complete with the wave of quasi-80s figures right down to bad posing), I’m actually surprised no one’s gotten on this one yet.

It gets better/weirder. The later Walken movie ‘McBain’ is the reason the Simpsons eventually named the actor Rainier Wolfcastle (they had to temporarily put the McBain name on hold while the Walken movie ran its course, so they started naming the actor rather than the character.)

Then the movie went to the wayside of…

Prettymuch this.
A boycott benefits from attention, but only if people decide to get on board with it. If you just point and laugh and give your money to whatever they’re against regardless, they still come out with a net loss.
Especially if that thing does well, cause then their boycott is rolled out as a subject of…

It’s kind of a shame - everything else about the movie, I’m interested in.
I’d watch the fuck out of a Lando-led Star Wars heist film.

But Han...we’ve already been down that road enough times to see all that’s needed.
Plus, I’m sorry, I look at Ehrenreich and I don’t see Harrison Ford, I see young Jack Nicholson.

Purely the in-universe timeline, of course.

The fascinating thing to me has been the more I dig into the meta history of Star Wars, the more I start seeing all the ways the backstory has been reworked, smoothed over, and generally polished to omit things that would be inconvenient to the modern narrative.

Things like…

If it wasn’t a busy weekend, then this also raises questions about how fuel works in the setting and whether the Falcon would actually be able to run for the duration Luke would need without running on empty.

‘the single best sequence in the entirety of all Star Wars movies’ — Gonna disagree with you, simply because I still get fucking chills at the scene in RotJ when Vader goads Luke into beating the shit out of him.
The music, the surprisingly harsh action, and that ‘Oh shit’ moment of grim quiet after Luke realizes just…

Over time, I’ve become of two minds on the pod race.
On its own, completely devoid of context - it’s actually not a bad idea. Sort of a sci-fi Wacky Races deal that, while a bit of a heavy handed Ben-Hur riff in context, is at least a novel thing for Star Wars.
In the movie as a whole, it’s one of the big reasons that…

That would be...fucked up.

“Man, Infinity War was grim, right guys? Here’s that lighthearted duo of Ant-Man and the Wasp, who we’re gonna show you getting turned to ash right here before we start the story. Enjoy your lighthearted caper with the knowledge that inescapable death spares no one tucked away in your back…

...this makes me laugh even harder than it should on the surface, since I also associate that song with the so bad it’s good James Spader-RDJ movie Tuff Turf.

Gotta admit though, the inventor is pretty spot on, though Tesla did it the other way around and didn’t have people try and wash his crazy sides to try and make him into the science world’s secret Jesus Christ until he’d been dead for years.

To be fair to the new kids, the 80s in turn also had the Transformers movie’s death of Optimus Prime shaking enough kids that the subsequent G.I. Joe movie walked back Duke’s taking a spear to the chest to “He’s just in a coma!”

Question as someone who’s never dealt with their shows before, but might be in the future depending on reviews goes - do their releases track more towards the Netflix ‘Here’s the whole season all at once’ model, or Hulu’s ‘We’re gonna space these out like regular television’ approach?

Cause the fact it seems they’ve…
