Also because... you know, they’re not *really* astronauts living on Mars or whatever. Might just be best to call it “unscripted” rather than “reality” (though how unscripted any of these things are is up for debate)

Ariel Winter sounds like a Frozen / The Little Mermaid crossover sponsored by Birds Eye.

She must have a Modern Family podcast at least.

I was hoping they were actually trying to send these people to Mars.

I only knew about the show because it was in the list on a torrent site.

thanks everybody, i assumed it was some late season addition and just didn’t recognize Alex.

“I didn’t want it to go through the normal ‘Let’s Brighten it up, for the kids’ you know what I mean.”

To my mind, the most honest depiction of the modern era of warfare. So well done. It’s criminal that it didn’t win the Emmy that year. Criminal. 

Labor deserves proper compensation, actually

We’re not going to get a real-life version of Running Man, are we?

+1 for Generation Kill. Excellent show. 

With the writers and actors strikes going on now, there’s not a lot to talk about in pop culture so we get stories about fourth rate celebrity reality shows. 

(And yes, “celebronauts” is actually what they call them.)

Alex Dunphy. She’s hard to immediately recognize because she’s no longer being made to look super dumpy (which was by accident - she was an extremely early bloomer and she basically hit puberty like a speeding train right after season 1).

“All that’s to say, Barbie is a massive success for Margot Robbie, a two-time Oscar nominee who, for some reason, ended up in a steady stream of flops between Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood and Barbie.”

Jack Valenti. A venal, self-aggrandizing crumb and prude, working the MPAA to fill his investment portfolio. So glad we don’t have to hear his insincere moralizing from his clacking dentures anymore.

I suspect he’d cheerfully settle for the same kind of career as his dad. A mix of prestige stuff and big supporting roles in studio movies.

That’s why good agents negotiate for points on the gross, not the net.

Now I want to see Margot Robbie basically play Jack Nicholson in those Batman interviews, but for Barbie:

“Sorry, Margot. Getting in those lamingtons and Chiko rolls for the catering from Zaslav Craft Services cost us $461 million.”
