You’re obviously not Australian - she seems to be perpetually on tour over here, for whatever reason.

Sculptor - Gutzon Borglum

Yes, and yes.

That’s where I know him from! Yes, he’s very good in that, alongside whatshername from The Good Doctor, and that guy from The Crown.

My theory about the cartoonishness of Dwight & Michael was always that they were kind of “mistranslated” versions of their British forerunners - not that Gareth & David Brent were cartoons (for the most part), but they represented very particular personality types that don’t really have an equivalent in the U.S.; so…

It comes from sports journalism, says Wikipedia (it’s not something I’m familiar with, but then I’m not American): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_take

Yes. I’m inclined to think there are a few holes in the theory, though, seeing as it suggests that (if I’m understanding Gooden correctly) a live-audience sitcom like Cheers is by definition less funny than a single-camera show like, say, Young Sheldon.

Was just reading an interview where she was asked that question:

It does seem like shameless borrowing, but if you believe Wikipedia, it actually happened the other way around: “[Happy Days] began as an unsold pilot... which aired in 1972 as a segment... on ABC’s anthology show Love, American Style. Based on the pilot, director George Lucas cast Howard as the lead in his 1973 hit…

I’ve temporarily misplaced my reading glasses, but according to Wikipedia, they were “female chthonic deities of vengeance; they were sometimes referred to as “infernal goddesses” (χθόνιαι θεαί).” Hope that helps.

You’re not being ambitious enough. I propose that we petition CBS to re-edit the original series, because that’s chock-full of suspect characters who really need to go: non-whites like Uhura and Sulu; probably Spock too (because if race-mixing is wrong, how much worse is species-mixing?). And while we’re at it, Scotty…

Nah. Grace Coolidge or GTFO

Some British people spell it “whingeing”, but I’m not sure if that isn’t actually worse.

Some of the writers here do read / participate in the comments threads of the articles they write, so figure out which articles those are (not “Reasonable Discussions”, for starters), and go plead your case. (It helps to be early to the relevant thread, I think.)

U2’s sound is not girly. It’s a post-punk musical style that evolved into a stadium-based anthemic guitar-based sound, and then in the mid-1990s, evolved into a tax haven in the Netherlands for the band’s publishing arm, and finally, in 2007, into a tax-avoiding shell company in Malta that Bono used to buy a shopping…

“I Appreciate The Muppets The Comic Strip Presents on a Much Deeper Level Than You”

Is she meant to be middle-aged, though? Certainly the woman playing her isn’t a teenager, but I don’t think we’re supposed to notice that (though plainly it didn’t work in your case).

Live long and prosper! (Am I doing this right?)

I’m just going by what was in the article, but it seems there was no actual means of tracing them (i.e. no central registry of ownership, etc), so in theory you could steal them & cash them in the same way Hans Gruber had wanted to. But in real life - who knows? Although I guess you could assume that someone must have…

It is, for Netflix users outside of North America.
