I think it looks cool, but maybe not a timeless kind of way. Like to look at the original Xbox now, it is a pretty ugly thing that is very much of its time.

If you’re like me and were desperately wracking your brain: She’s Marjorie from Veep (though upon investigation, her career is much more interesting than just that).

The timing of this is wild to me. I am listening through the back-catalog of the Blank Check (movie review) podcast, and started this morning with After Earth. They talked a lot in the episode about Will Smith’s career, which I found really interesting, and they talked about his next project being Suicide Squad (at…

I’m infuriated by the implication that Levar Burton should be fucked with on any day. You leave Geordi the fuck alone, or you’ll have my fist in your stomach to answer to.

I do.

Agreed.

This is some very solid casting by Disney+. Pedro Pascal was a tremendous choice—even though i was almost exclusively voice acting. Olyphant has never been in a bad thing. I dare you to try and convince me otherwise. In The Closer, which was inexplicably a complete flop, he was fantastic.  

I have some reservations about that, because I think the biggest difference is that it’s not really “live”. SNL’s most reliable laughs have always been its pre-recorded bits, and its cold opens—which are not pre-recorded, but involve the most complex production, and are kind of adjacent to the pre-records in their…

Jerry Seinfeld has a joke about how weird it is that people go to the movies with other people as if it’s a social activity, even though the theater environment completely shuts down social interaction.

That’s how I got here!

Are your critics the Hitler youth, wtf is that headline photo.

Given the Game of Thrones (D&D) cameo earlier this season, I hope that Westworld has learned a lesson from that show, and isn’t going to turn our badass lady protagonist who we spent years cheering on, into a malevolent villain who needs to be stopped, at the 11th hour. Because there is some danger of that, with the…

Go wilfully misinterpret someone else.

The season’s story seems to have been conceived as one-and-done, with Picard being dead at the end. The Picard revival is very much tacked onto the end of it. It was kind of a necessary evil to keep the show alive, but they box themselves into that corner unnecessarily—you didn’t have to say the disease was certainly…

I think Zack’s criticisms are valid—I’m not going to sit here and say that killing Picard, mourning his death, and then immediately bringing him back with no lingering consequences made a whole lot of sense—but I think approaching reviews in the way that Zack has for the past few years (with this show and Discovery)…

I definitely misremembered the name of the show — thank you for correcting that to help people find it who are interested. 

The meta concept reminds of Amazon Prime’s JCVD. A silly, very fun action comedy that unfortunately only lasted a season, but I think would brighten you’re day if your looking for something to watch.

Seems odd not to mention that Colbert has been doing the iPhone from home thing this week (only seen some clips posted on Twitter, don’t know if he’s been having guests on).

Marsden is a movie star now. Him and his pal Sonic are too good for this small time HBO shit. 

Wait, Tom Hanks’ wife’s name is Wilson?
