  1. you guys are so fucked.
  2. these two kinda go together and most of the josh+amy stuff is vintage sorkin. a lot of actors can't handle sorkin, many of whom were in the newsroom cast, which sucks for newsroom. mary louise parker is as good as anyone i've seen at it. if she had been cast as mandy from the jump, it would've prevented a lot of headaches. speaking of which, the clip above (from 20 hours in america, arguably the best ww episode), features tyler the campaign intern, played by john gallagher, jr, who was later cast as one of the main characters in the newsroom, and one of the better ones imo. kinda fun trivia. for a drama, this episode has 5-7 lol moments, which even for sorkin is saying something. it's just a hilarious episode. also, for some reference on how tv has changed, for better or worse. when the awards are given out, comedies and dramas traditionally are divided not by joke density, but by episode length. it's not right or wrong, just how it goes. the bear isn't a traditional comedy but will win best comedy every year it's around. should it have gone against succession, a much more straightforward drama, that i would argue might be a funnier show top to bottom? not for me to say. but every episode of season 3 ted lasso (an obvious "comedy") was longer than any west wing episode ever produced. again, just fun trivia.
  3. look at the board. i have.
  4. masterclass here from offerman in non-verbal communication, body language, action, and reaction. and he's probably had to build a new trophy case to accommodate it. bartlett was wonderful but ultimately, overshadowed.
  5. hey, trotsky, you're in advertising.
  6. also factor in that there are more registered dems than registered gop, especially in certain areas. so to make up for that, they oversample (or undersample) certain demographics or parties, or they inflate/deflate the numbers on each side to make it seem like they polled each side equally. this takes a small sample size and gives it even more potential variance. to say nothing of the trolls or people who think it's more fun to fuck with pollsters than to not fuck with pollsters, because it probably is. maga broke the polls. they haven't been ~reliable since 2016. seriously, did trump's doctor write that part?
  7. i regret nothing. march 20th or so? or march 1st? it's no longer the offseason so i think it's fair game.
  8. still get chills.
  9. it's like someone asked ai to create a kevin costner movie based on all his past movies and tv shows. also 4 parts? no wonder he's too tired to keep doing yellowstone. sheesh.
  10. we're on our way...
  11. too much sean astin, but overall i agree.
  12. this thread is a combination of "greatest", "most iconic", and "favorite" movie scenes, which is fine. everything is subjective and there isn't a known greatest movie scene, so why not. here are a few i enjoy, but i traditionally like talkies.
  13. how many iron man movies have you seen and why is that answer zero?
  14. so the january stats don't include ratings from a football game played on feb 11th?
  15. i spoke to a couple of producers over the phone last spring but passed on being involved further, like all the others. i get one about every 6 months. dug up the email... initially it was part of a different series. i received this email in 2021:
  16. that's basically what hulu is/was minus the cbs piece.
