That's something I hadn't heard. Could explain a lot.

Yeah, I agree. Harrison Ford seems like he never wanted the megastardom that happened to him, and actively regrets making the decisions that took brought him there. He wants to stretch, but every time he tries, audiences reject it. It's kind of sad. But he's also got $230 million dollars. So it's not thatsad.

Oh, I think Harrison Ford is a monumental asshole in person, but he's managed to keep it all mostly under wraps because people don't want to believe that Indiana Solo is a dick. I mean, pretty much any time he appears in public he's basically excreting disdain from every pore.

I don't get why a seasoned player, or really anybody who's familiar with the show, would turn up and start playing super hard on the first day. Everybody's in such a rush to get their alliances set up and their strategies in place that they don't realize how blatantly obvious their machinations are, and they end up…

True; Dany's really good at the intimidation and the burning but not so great at the building of infrastructure and whatnot. But she's basically got herself a small council now—between Tyrion, Olenna, and Varys she's collected some of the top minds in Westeros to help her out. I think she might struggle a bit, but…

Thiel doesn't really sell anything, as far as I can tell. He co-founded PayPal, and was an investor in Facebook, but nowadays he mostly advocates for weird offshore legal loopholes called "seasteads" where you basically live on a boat outside the law and do whatever you want, and his search for the key to immortality.…

In 1935 Shanghai, they had a bullet surplus. Bullets everywhere. That guy was just doing his part.

I definitely agree that once Jon allied with the wildings and "betrayed" Olly they show basically gave up on portraying him as anything but a glowering rage monster, and it got pretty ridiculous after the first few times he'd be lurking off the side of the frame just boiling like a teapot full of puberty and evil. But…

Whenever there's a gay contestant, or just a contestant who even might be gay, there's historically been this weird discomfort, usually exemplified by having them talk about how hot their opposite sex dance partners are, and/or criticizing them for not being masculine/feminine enough. I mention Billy Bell because he…

In 1994 I was taken by my parents to see Nine Inch Nails perform at the Boston Garden. Marilyn Manson was opening, as was the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. I wore a shredded KMFDM t-shirt held together with a string of safety pins. My mother wore her red plaid Talbot's sweater vest and pale blue jeans. Somewhere around…

Not that it makes up for what the show did to Billy Bell, but I'm really happy a LGBT dancer (sure, we don't know this for a fact but….let's be real) won the title. Sure, there's Nick, but he was all the way back in the first season. I dunno. I like representation, especially on a show that's been really weird…

Yeah, for some reason this finale really seemed interminable. Not just because Ricky's win was such a foregone conclusion; the judges' picks dragged on, really the whole thing could have been condensed down to a tidy hour if you subtracted 90% of the encore performances, the "How Does Ciara Stay So Dry?" skit, and…
