so i'm on my way through for like the 12th time, and i want to take a moment to appreciate lois. she's stuck on the switchboard, which she hates. then peggy gets promoted off don's desk, so lois gets off of the switchboard. then don goes to the movies instead of attending a meeting, but she doesn't know what to say when peggy asks where he is. she tells him that she covered for him, he tells her that she is not suited for this job. she goes back on the switchboard. then, right before the merger, the crew senses something is going on, so they go grab lois out and ask what she has heard. she says she's not allowed to talk about what she hears in there, but then goes ahead and tells them every detail of the ppl merger anyway, and makes them promise to get her out of there. they tell her of course. i don't know if she ever made it back onto a desk, but the next thing you know, she's running over a guy's foot with a fucking tractor. yet somehow she didn't get fired, because she appears in another episode later in s3. here's to you, lois. enjoy the switchboard forever.

the lambo is 800k. take an interest.

i had my birthday party there in like 2003.

i don't love musician biopics but rocket man was very good and very well done. wasn't nearly the cookie-cutter drivel that most of them are. was more like a rock opera. if you decide to watch one of the 2, watch that one. i'm with you on lotr (saw each once, would pay to not have to see another minute of that franchise or the hobbit). pirates i thought the first one was great but the 1-2 others i saw were trash.

two posts in a row that have never seen casablanca? get it together, people.

passes isn't new, and was basically just onlyfans. now it's onlyfans and livvy dunne and longhorn athletes. seems like an odd fit, but what do i know?

scarcity used to help those keep their value, but that seems to be going away this season.

to be fair, he's guilty in the other ones too.

calm down, everyone. fox news just told me that he has a really good chance of getting this overturned on appeal.

you're putting forward a scenario where most resources are put towards having a great football team, but then we'll end up with an underachieving basketball team and a middling baseball team? you must have an active imagination.

or gamblers are going to take advantage of their shitty pay and get them to fix prop bets.

neveruary.

evan carter getting passed around like a tijuana prostitute.

good news is it's only 138 minutes. though some people say bad movies aren't longer, they just feel longer.

30+ posts and no mention of tootsie? rip dabney.

so it turns out (it isn't).

first ever scripted comedy series? wasn't "the shrink next door" a comedy series? i'm honestly asking, i didn't watch it.

ok, last night i found a 3rd. there's a ww episode in late s4 i think, where there were a group of about-to-be-us-citizens who needed to be moved to an auditorium to get sworn in or whatever, and bartlet goes to say hello. the judge who is doing the swearing in is also hank, the security guard from the office. there may be more, but they are deep cuts.

i saw him the other day... what a loser, huh? ...in a rolls. yeah, i meant me. peak lowell ganz and babaloo mandel. in the late 90's when i was an intern, an executive told me every comedy script that got made for a decade spent some time with the two of them.

when i saw it forever ago at a test screening (there's a thread around here someplace), i said that it was everything you would want a pop-tart movie written and directed by jerry seinfeld to be. not sure what people were expecting.

gil, you have a good memory, was it yours or helen's or susan's wedding i got drunk at? it was all 3 dad, congratulations. well which one did i punch the band leader? that was mine. we have photos. i'm having them blown up for the commitment hearings.

they had fellowships set up on jupiter.

i need better friends.

happy friday.
