Forget Polanski, what I want to know is, who is going to play Robert Evans?

Not nearly as much a violation of the prime directive as what occurred in Russell’s old room in the basement of the pawn shop.

A celebrity cuttng a check is usually how one gets a star on the walk of fame anyway. Though it’s usually done via a buffer, usually under the guise of a fan club.

Now I’m just wondering where Tarantino’s regulars would have fit in on this project. Other than Michael Madsen of course, as he clearly would have had dibs on the role of Jojo Krakow, ably portrayed on TOS by the invaluable Vic Tayback.

That’s how kids have always viewed anything from before their time. It’s nothing new. Think about what you used to think was “old” or “classic”, and you’ll realize it really wasn’t all that old, at least not from your present POV.

I guess I am giving away my age (and location) here, because I was referring to Brunzell being the lesser half to Greg Gagne in the High Flyers, of AWA fame.

Makes me wonder about what skeletons the lesser halves of other tag teams have in their closets. What say you Robert Gibson, Dennis Condrey and Jim Brunzell? What are you hiding, Road Dogg?

No, I'm pretty sure he hung around an old movie ranch with a bunch of other hippies and then ran afoul of an inordinately handsome stuntman one afternoon.

The flip side to that is you have to wonder just how big of an asshole Ellen must be for her to stick out in an industry full of assholes.

Yeah, she and W both have that Alfred E Neuman, “what, me worry?” grin permanently plastered on their mugs. 

My guess is that this is producer’s way of switching out an incredibly unpopular choice for lead without making it look like they were admitting failure. And they get to check off the “diversity” box while they’re at it with her replacement. It’s win-win, I tell you.

Fuller might have been alright with Jerry O’Connell. After all, he did cast O’Connell in his dark, gritty reboot of The Munsters, Mockingbird Lane. And I daresay, the fat kid from Stand by Me brought some nuance and pathos to the role of Herman Munster, a man haunted by memories of the men he used to be.

The only American I can speak for is myself, and I can tell you that I loved the hell out of Bugsy Malone as a kid (also of the Gen-X variety).

Not even so much as a Teck.

Especially when the “MTV reality legend” in question is anything but.

In Soviet Union, she would have.

Hey now, Marco Rubio is the future of the Republican party.

That word you use, "joke", I do not think it means what you think it does. 

I’m glad she didn’t hire anyone to shoot Joe.

Possibly related to the fact that she also picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
