Unfortunately the Media Character I relate to most is:
Michael Ian Black in Wet Hot American Summer saying “no. Why don’t we say 9:30 and then make it your beeswax to be here at 9:30. O mean, we’re all going to be in our late 20s by then I just don’t see any reason why we can’t be places on time.”

Duvall would have been so right in half a dozen McMurtrys. Glad we at least go one

The kind of actor you could take for granted just how good he always, alway, always was. Could be soulful, enigmatic, or jovial (see below) and never inauthentic. Undeniably one of the best to do it. RIP

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

This hurts like an angry man berating me while throwing a basketball in my face

I think the first question they should ask anyone making a Star Wars movie is “have you seen any Star Wars movies?” And if the answer is yes that person shouldn’t get the job.

She spent the whole morning performatively screaming at Congressmen, but this image of Bondi saying nothing and refusing to turn around will be the only real takeaway from her testimony today.

OOOOF

I feel like…
The president….
Might not…
Consider Black people…
…to be his equals

He has said this about every election since 2016, has always been heavy-handed in implying he will under no circumstances concede. An aspiring dictator from the beginning, he hardly ever pretended to believe in democracy. I’ll never understand why so many people averted their eyes from the obvious.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Gervais is really just upset not enough people are thanking God.

The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”

RIP 😥

Anything else would be an insult.

Yeah the thing about Mr. Rogers is his show was never political.

SINNERS still would have been the most nominated film ever even without the addition of the casting award 🥹

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I didn’t meet a deadline and as punishment my friend made me watch Suicide Squad (2016) three times in a row. I had seen it once when it came out. Fourth time wasn't the charm.

let the credits roll on The Pitt last night and seeing the behind the scenes where they talk about building body models to fake the surgery was such an exciting thing.

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

I would be quite deterred if the guy in charge of my company described our goals like a kindergartner being asked what he wants to do when he grows up.

wanda sykes hoping that ricky gervais wins best stand-up so she can accept the award on his behalf, "and you're gonna thank god! and the trans community!"

SO GOOD

David Lynch saying You're all together on this planet trying to live a life, you know, a good life. Why would you torture people?

If I were to reboot my Dad's favorite show it would be Northern Exposure.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Jan. 6, 2021:

All of them. Trump, Vance, Bondi, Rubio, Hegseth. They should all be impeached and removed from office.
