  1. the press has to learn to be truthful. best, 3-time election winner
  2. are we supposed to take it seriously as some sort of substantial prize or trophy? best baseball team - the dodgers. whoa!
  3. just to be clear, my fuck you rep was me fucking with derka. not a real fuck you. kids today.
  4. 1. nobody will care about your screenplay if it's adapted - they'll always want someone more experienced to write it. you pitching it doesn't mean anything. 2. unless the producer is your uncle or brother in law, they will shoot you in the back of the head and not look back. a studio is worse. an agency is even worse. 3. to sum up, he who owns the property is king and cannot be cut out. option that shit.
  5. buy the rights.
  6. is that even possible?
  7. i like a gif that i can post without the words and people just know.
  8. about 25 years ago some mid-level executive actually said this to me and another person on the subject: "right, but we gotta dumb it down for the re-re's." the person I was with either said "huh" or his face reflected it. to which the guy said, "the re-re's, the mo-mo's, you know. the idiots." (note, he may have used the word idiot, moron, or retard, i can never remember, but i will always remember the re-re's and the mo-mo's). say what you will, but these studio people typically know their audience.
  9. hey, the oppenheimer thread has a lot of activity...
  10. just pass the bill. it will wreck red states. we are an addict and we need to hit rock bottom.
  11. um, well…i, uh, yeah, if that’s what…you know, um, ends up, like, um happening, then…you know, well, um, that’s a bummer. um.
  12. after only s3 + s4 ep1, “the computer” is one of my least favorite characters on the show. is his schtick supposed to be funny? his nickname is horrible and unfunny, and platt is way better as a solo act. their quick exchanges play like a bad sorkin ripoff.
  13. artie: hank, you're gonna buy john cusack a fruit basket for that remark you made about his sister. you're gonna buy lionel richie 3 baskets, one for every time you called him "little richard."
  14. finished up dept q last night. it was excellent throughout and did a great job launching into (hopefully) multiple seasons. it's based on a book series and has already been made into several (danish?) movies, so they should have plenty of material. akram is the man.
  15. it's only an island if you look at it from the water.
  16. i started my full rewatch this weekend to coincide with s4 drop. season 1 sydney is fucking rough. the stuttering, the "um's", the entitlement when all she's done her whole career is fuck shit up. i fear it will only get worse, but she keeps winning awards. if she isn't like this in any other role, i suppose she made a choice and that it's great acting. i don't think she's earned the right as an actor to make bold choices. writers make choices. actors hit their mark and tell the truth.
  17. if you don’t like it, it’s on you.
  18. by "socialists", is she referring to the $80b california sent last year to fund a bunch of broke-ass red states? also for the record, that's the most violence i've seen out here in days, so i guess that's something.
  19. s2 is insanely good television. just watch it.
  20. watching a tv show without doing other shit or being on your phone is basically 2025's version of reading a book.
