I SAW GOODY HOLMES DANCING WITH THE DEVIL!!!

Like Hugh Jackman on a hot asphalt road after getting run over by a steamroller. Thrice.

SAG Awards Changes Name to Actor Awards Within Hollywood, everyone knows that SAG stands for the Screen Actors Guild, which is now known as SAG-AFTRA, but out in the rest of the world, a show called the SAG Awards raised questions.

This is dumb and if I were a member of the LABOR UNION that gives these awards, I would be pissed off. I am not. So instead I'll just find it silly and move on. Bye!

‘The Beast in Me’ Review: Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys Try Hard, but Netflix’s Cat-and-Mouse Thriller Is an Exercise in Prestige TV Monotony A profile writer and a possible killer dance around the truth in this over-extended eight-episode series set in a wealthy enclave of Long Island.

The two leads are trying hard in Netflix's "The Beast in Me" but... to what end? None that I could find.

My review:

I frequently have to reply to blurb requests with, "You're never going to use that, but... knock yourself out."

Like sure, you can use "A celebration of art, resilience and the mutability of the human spirit." Definitely put "mutability of the human spirit" on your poster.

This is why I stopped watching "Black Mirror."

So. Many. Unsolved. Murders.

Nope. Not really. Sorry. I'll leave now.

"The Beast in Me" and "Bluey"!

Vance's ability to string together [pathologically ignorant] sentences makes him extra-easy to hate these days. Trump is an incoherent, senile old man, not so much that one could pity him, but I'm finding it easier to wish for the downfall of those enabling him and facilitating evil through him.

Yes. Flesh distribution is key.

The show you kind of enjoyed is dead. Long live the new flesh.

It's less manic and sarcastic and more sardonic and fatigued.

Oreoborous

I would assume that's fundamental to the character's DNA, though I'm sure he'd put his own tone on it.

To me, it's less about Johnson and more the simple question, "Can you imagine being entertained by Peter Dinklage as Columbo?" The answer is "Yes" and anybody who says, "No" is wrong. So... Sure. Why not? In theory.

🎶 "I've got a beast in me
I've got a beast in me
You've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anyone I wouldn't kill for you
We stick together, we can write a book
'Cause I've got a beast in me
Yeah, I've got a beast in me" 🎶

Vince Gill-again.

‘Last Samurai Standing’ Review: Netflix’s Fusion of ‘Squid Game’ and ‘Shogun’ Doesn’t Soar, but It Satisfies Junichi Okada stars, produces and did the action choreography on this six-part series about a nefarious game pitting samurai against each other in 19th-century Japan.

On the surface, Netflix's new drama "Last Samurai Standing" looks like it's basically "Squid Game" meets "Shogun." And... that's basically what it is. Not as good as either, but it mostly delivers on its basic promise.

My review:

Then perhaps I could interest you in the 30 for 30 documentary "The '85 Bears" in which "The Super Bowl Shuffle" plays a major role, if memory serves!

‘All Her Fault’ Review: Sarah Snook, Dakota Fanning and Jake Lacy Anchor Peacock’s Satisfying Domestic Mystery Michael Peña also stars in this eight-part thriller centering on the disappearance of a 5-year-old boy from a wealthy Chicago neighborhood.

I'm gonna have to fail you on this one, at least for now! I just didn't have time to get to it. But my partner-in-crime Angie liked it a bit:

The effect from "Breaking Bad" doing the same thing was simply more visible. Or tactile? Too early for me to choose words.

My review:

That’s what my review says! But I’m sure it’ll be submitted as a drama.

Wow. When I told you the same thing, you rejected my premise outright.

As long as I can still be an oligarch.

You probably think that when we spent a weekend speculating that he was dead a couple of months ago that he didn't actually die.

And I would NEVER suggest you be anything other than your fully actualized self!
