  1. the fuck you just say to me?
  2. the narrative should be that “the judges saved the economy”.
  3. so the tariffs get knocked down, which will pump up the stock market, which he will then take credit for. did i miss anything?
  4. there is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.
  5. i would be all over a prequel that showed gilead's rise to power.
  6. we started it, and after one episode i said i was out, but the wife kept watching. by the end of ep2, it was growing on me, and then episodes 3 and 4 were pretty awesome. i didn't think there was much of a twist, so i wouldn't watch or not watch based on that. they finished pretty strong and kept the dark comedy coming in some fun ways. lots of fun characters and the tone change saved the show. i think it's worth a watch, if only because the cast is stacked.
  7. my main gripe about s3 was about the narrative momentum. s2 saw richie and others take positive steps to fix shit going on in their lives/their attitude. s3 all of a sudden they're back to constant yelling and screaming over each other and lack of professionalism. the lack of growth we saw in s3 almost makes me think the magic we saw in s2 was fake. and that was a significant bummer. but yeah, cena was not it.
  8. we put rokus on all our tvs (the low-end one that was $25) and haven't looked back. and we never have any issues except for the end of game of thrones, but that was more of a script issue.
  9. am i the last one using roku? did it come out that roku had nazi affiliations or something?
  10. in the age of ai they can’t even gaslight effectively. sad.
  11. huge bidding war for the script? i'm in! horror movie? all the way back out and forget anything else i just said.
  12. or just keep repeating pete’s dream for america and make the opposition argue against it. any dem who is shitting on pete after that podcast hated him before (likely for stupid/petty reasons) or didn’t listen, or both. any non-dem shitting on pete is scared shitless now that he has a beard.
  13. let me tell you about a guy named jack reacher...
  14. vince gilligan was working on a jonestown limited series for hbo, but i heard that literally while breaking bad was ending, so maybe it's in turnaround.
  15. don’t care what anyone says, s6+s7 are quality tv. at least the episodes surrounding the races. s5 is garbage.
  16. that whole thing was not handled well. they kept introducing new people every 3 minutes in the pilot and then in ep2 reference some disappearance-assumed-murder. the wife and i were like "were we drunk? did we miss a murder?" but not so worried that we actually went back to investigate. this show is not quite guy ritchie enough for me yet, but i'll keep going. if they wanted me to care about the feud between the 2 families, they should've opened with that, not two random crime orgs that were about to get wiped out just to show that hardy's bunch were ruthless and now there's a vacuum in the fentanyl trade.
  17. i am john, lord marbury, earl of croy, marquess of needham and dolby, baronet of brycey, england's ambassador to the united states. a terrorist is a terrorist even if he wears a green necktie and sings "danny boy." yes, you can call me john.
  18. josh and his planet-sized ego needed a foil. he was better with her around.
  19. in the current episode, she says "if you threw a stapler at me you'd be dead, like scott rudin." to which sal says "is he dead?" and the reply was "professionally." fun fact, when i first interned on the paramount lot in 1997, our office was about 30 yards from rudin's side door and the interns and assistants routinely would escape from there and come into our reception area to cry. we didn't have much going on and used to hear horrific stories, mostly about him throwing stuff at people, so this hits close to home. not for me, but for people that i briefly knew a few decades ago.
