Goody for them. De gustibus and all that.

If making fun of my native manservant is off the menu, then you can all go straight to Hell.

Being relevant these days is too shameful a thing to even contemplate. To Hell with any waste of flesh who’d want to be popular OR relevant today, much less succeed at it.

Phillips has, at least, made me laugh before now. Maron, not so much. He’s done fine dramatic work in GLOW, but nothing in his résumé suggests the remotest competence in matters comedic.

Jenji Kohan strikes me as someone who just assumes that the groundlings would watch Mad Men. After all, she did!

In any case, I shall rephrase: a) Depending on one’s definition, a given pol might not be a socialist or a communist. b) At the same time, there might not be enough daylight between him and the strict definition of those

The worse for them, if so. The man’s an able director, but that’s not the sort of thing likely to help him much if called upon to justify himself in the end.

There are a limited number of stories out there. Nearly ALL of them have been done often. The question is, how well did they do it?
