To me it fit. I’ve always watched Succession as primarily a comedy.

Yeah, I think Romulus is just a pet name.

Because Greg doesn’t really just want to be rich. He wants to be at the cool kid’s table (and for some reason he thinks his cousins are the cool kids). He wants to feel like he’s involved in important shit.

wondered if Kendall getting a summons from his dad and waiting for Godot was a “Fuck you!”

To be clear I’m not saying the Roy family cares about the conflict of interest. I think the voters would.

The best baby-sitter in the world is no match for an awful parent like Kendall.

“Hello” will always be the song that defines her.

My point is that the fact she continues to use the song she wrote as a jumping off point for more creative work is not, in fact, evidence that she feels much of anything for this guy at all.

Dylan was a special guest at a concert I went to about 20 years ago (can’t even remember the headliner) and it was rough. He sounded like a bad Dylan impersonator. Or Krusty the clown.

I think it’s kind of weird to assume that just because the song was (likely) originally inspired by a particular relationship that means her decision to expand on the creative work now is fueled by emotions for that same ex as opposed to a desire to create.

Interesting.

It’s deeply flawed, but you can’t for second argue that Rent wasn’t massively influential on the Broadway musicals that followed.

Of course, there’s also the somewhat delicious schadenfreude of knowing that every stream of (Taylor’s Version) of these songs is a deliberate thumbing of the nose to Scooter Braun and her former label Big Machine

That line felt pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek to me.

so when we hear yet again, ‘Fuck the rich!’ on the defacto pop culture website

You think it’s “socialist” to point out that it’s kind of weird to make a movie where a poor couple losing their house are the villains and the rude kid who stole from them is the hero?

CinemaScores are often more a reflection of the quality of a films marketing campaign than the quality of the film itself. It doesn’t measure how “good” a movie is, it measures how closely the movie aligns with what the audience expected to see.

Well, to be fair it will put London on the map.*

“I wanted that layer of stink on me. I wanted people in the room to know what I smelt like,”

I was literally coming down here to comment that although I have no issue with this choice, it feels likes it’s a least 4 years behind the peak of “Wow, Paul Rudd is an ageless DILF!” discourse.
