  1. he also wrote crazy stupid love so he gets a pass from me. also cars should send half their money to whomever wrote doc hollywood, because, come on.
  2. none of those exactly, but you're on the right track ish.
  3. sterling k brown and james marsden. first 3 episodes are out. we watched 2 last night and it's interesting.
  4. i loved alex bregman. and then he carried the bat to first on a homer.
  5. it rained off and on for the last 24 hours and is supposed to stop tonight. mudslides are always a concern in overlapping fire areas (like malibu) but this shouldn’t be too bad. what sucks is when it doesn’t rain for months then rains nonstop for 4 days. it happens pretty often, which is why “annual rainfall” can be misleading. if it dumps all at once, it doesn’t help. and it causes mudslides.
  6. tv deals were way different in the 60's and 70's but it makes sense that even though carson basically owned that time slot with nbc, he wasn't ever looking to work 6+ nights per week so they needed something on sat. carson was a god back then and usually got what he wanted. i can't remember if it was "the history of comedy" or the comedy store docuseries, but i remember the story about the la comedy scene essentially being born from carson's divorce. he was bored in ny in the late 60's post-divorce and wanted to play more golf, so he moved the show to la in 1972. since they had comedians on so often, comedy clubs opened up all over la, which gave rise to the whole scene - the comedy store, la improv, the laugh factory, all because johnny wanted to play golf. not to mention the practice of having comics open for rock shows at the troubadour, the roxy, the whiskey, etc.
  7. yeah, drugs around snl were a big no-no.
  8. that's not piers morgan.
  9. eventually they'll just slim it down to one 2-hour episode but instead of it being available at home, they'll schedule it to play somewhere public where you can purchase tickets and concessions.
  10. they wait until the oscar nominees come out. i liked anora but man, a few scenes were really drawn out and hard to watch. mostly because of the screaming on top of screaming, it was like s3 of the bear. i've become really grouchy about sound in my old age. i need to carve out a theater day and go see the brutalist. i love a good intermission.
  11. so by “the old system”, we’re talking about pohler, fey, and hader? the old days were all about actors leaving to do movies. sitcoms were mostly given to stand-ups, not sketch comedy players.
  12. heidi gardner is on shrinking.
  13. only in a rerun.
  14. how deep into crypto must one be to think trump gives a shit about the emoluments clause?
  15. or just watch slow horses.
  16. christ on a cracker. we’re way past fact-checking and gotcha charts. they’re going to do everything they can to point fingers because california is evil and liberal and terrible despite the ~6m trumpers that live here. and none of it is based on facts. fox news hasn’t changed their playbook in decades.
  17. you think he ate it? no, it wouldn’t come out perfect like that.
  18. are you able to control him? yes, sir, he'll be fine, i promise.
  19. aaaaand, i'll be right back.
  20. hmm, because twitter seems to imply that everybody knew this was coming and we deliberately ignored the signs and also deliberately sabotaged any infrastructure needed to fight these fires which were obviously coming at the time that everybody had marked on their calendar. it's also weird because since i've lived here (~25 years), everybody always talks about earthquakes and what's going to happen when the "big one" comes. there are real, live, functioning humans that won't live out here "because of the earthquakes". can't they just let us know when all the historic natural disasters are coming so we know who to vote for and make sure there are no minority groups involved? it's not that complicated. i blame the weathermen. sorry, "meteorologists".
  21. no, it’s near the auto center or something. overheard it on local news. wind is supposed to kick up in the next few hours. should be fun.
  22. lol, he is a chug (chihuahua+pug). i think sadat is a full pug. chuggy looks similar in the face but has regular (shorter) legs so i think he's more handsome. he also has the forehead wrinkles which make him look like he's always concerned about...something. his siblings don't have that. vet says he should stay around the 5-6 lb range which would be amazing. my wife thinks his eyebrows and resting concerned face make him look like shemar moore, but that might be a different thing happening. chuggy is a whole vibe.
  23. another option is the la belle foundation - https://www.labellefoundation.org/ https://www.instagram.com/thelabellefoundation/ they are great, but i'm biased on this. we fostered chuggy ^ and his siblings last july and kept chuggy (#fosterfail). one of our best friends adopted his brother so they get to hang out all the time. we were dogsitting the brother (snarls) last week when we evacuated, but timed it perfectly to get to his place in marina del rey right when he got back in town. they've got a huge following and have already gotten a bunch of help. several celebrities have fostered/adopted from there so they have a big presence on ig. glen powell's dog brisket is from la belle. the problem is that other shelters who get dozens of dogs (and other animals) rely on them pretty heavily and they're a small operation. we get occasional texts like "are you interested in a new lab puppy for 2-3 weeks?" last week we got an email that said something like "we have 225+ new dogs and cats, send help." we dropped a bunch of beds, toys, pee pads, and other assorted stuff we either purchased or had leftover from the chaos of fostering 3 puppies at once. long story short, they're local, they do a good job, and they take in animals from about 12-15 different shelters (and that was before the fires). our pups were dumped at some shithole shelter in kern county at 3 days old and somehow made their way to la belle (west la). i can't imagine the shit going on over there, but on their instagram they were like "we have bunnies now!" so who knows. bottom line, you can go on amazon and order them pet supplies and it will get used asap. sometimes that can be better than sending $, especially if you're worried about a % disappearing, which unfortunately is a real issue.
