I don’t care how many Faks they add, The Bear is not a comedy.

Having just finished The Bear season 3, I really don’t know why you would call that a comedy. Like it has jokes, but if that’s the bar for a comedy then I assume that means pretty much anything is a comedy.

This had damn well better be Walton Goggins’s year. The man is LONG overdue.

You sing bum notes quietly and it’s a mistake.

That’s jazz baby

Whitney was good, Marvin was better:

Robbins is a grifter, he doesn’t belong in the same breath as Ruth and Richard.

H/T to the greatest deleted scene in TV history. (I know it’s not him and I know he rejected the offer to voice “himself” but it still cracks me up)

Say what you will about how diet and fitness have evolved over time, but Richard Simmons was the rare gem that actually gave a crap about actually helping folks get healthy and happy. Sweatin to the Oldies and all his videos/ specials were filled with real people who were there to get active in whatever way they could…

Can we get a wellness check on Mr. T?

Dr. Ruth and Richard Simmons on the same day.  Farewell, legends.  The 80s really are over. 

We’re All Water kicks ass, no joke.

PJ Harvey is the goddamn best.

Rhino released Elvis Costello’s “Spike” with a bonus disc of demos, and I really think they’re better than the album (“Tramp the Dirt Down” benefits from florid overproduction, the rest of the songs sink under it).

I regularly sing the verse (quietly to myself, lest anyone think I am *more* of a creep) of PJ Harvey’s “Easy”:

Bruce Springsteen. Nebraska — those were some good demos.  :-)

Harrison Ford is 81 years old. It’s just not believable for him to be playing the presid...never mind.

really don’t understand who the audience for this could possibly be in 2024 except maybe 11 year olds who are only hearing about it for the first time?

The worst part is probably his terrible actions.

It’s weird that the nepo baby critique is always about people in the arts and not people in business, where the outcome is more substantive (and funnier) when someone just fucking sucks
