Oh, it was, but I was referring to Kevin Rudd getting knifed by Gillard, which is completely legal. And his penchant for Aussie slang.

Yeah, a lot of the stuff this movie seems to mention or hinge on factors that are pretty unique to America. (Three-term leader as a “threat”? Ha!)

What a shit ass thing to say

When I was a little kid, my school would do a “read-a-thon” to benefit MS research. I was more than happy to read books, but I was way too introverted to go around asking people to sponsor me.

Context reminder that 99% of the GoT audience doesn’t know or care who Weiss and Benioff are; it’s only us extremely-online pop-culture obsessives who do.

I wonder how much of his songwriting stopping and maybe starting again is related to his relationship with alcohol at the time. He’s apparently been sober for two years, which is great news, and now he’s writing songs again.

If you meet Nick Earls can you punch him in the throat for me?

I agree with you.

Here’s a non-surprise: David Morse is excellent in everything!! 

I feel kind of the same way about Morse as I do Wilkinson - just consistently crushes supporting roles, bringing depth to every character. Green Mile, The Rock, Contact - all home runs.

David Morse is a criminally underutilized actor.

Lin-Manuel himself is a big fan, and wrote the line where King George mentions meeting Adams with the assumption that people would know what he was talking about from the miniseries.

Not to mention Hamilton was fully supportive of the idea of America having a monarch, or enlightened despot.  His economic policies were brilliant, but thank goodness cooler heads shut down his more extreme notions for the new nation.

I enjoyed Fatal Attraction and will watch White House Plumbers, now that I’ve been reminded it is on. I also don’t really get all the hate on Ted Lasso. The first season was “nice” at a time when we needed nice, but it was always just a “nice” show.

I don’t think it’s necessarily the devotion to Donner/Reeve (well, not that alone) that did a number on it, it’s that it’s not just aping the style, but straight up making it a distant sequel to the Donner films. You can do a movie in their style, but straight up doing a sequel to a 20 year old movie is not the way to…

I have the series on DVD, purchased this year. 

Just like America right now.

Just a reminder that The Night Manager with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie was really very good.

Theater cut, or the extended edition?
