How Paradise Pulled Off Their Saddest Episode (So far)

If you watched PARADISE’s new episode last night and ugly cry’d like I did, here‘s Sterling K. Brown and Shailene Woodley on how they pulled it off.

Fun fact: The show doesn’t do table reads

There were notoriously 45 minutes of deleted scenes from SUPERMAN IV. The 2006 DVD release and every subsequent one had about 30 minutes of those. This scene was the most notable missing scene, so it's nice to see it finally.

I don't think a restored cut would be BETTER. But it would be interesting

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

David Ellison Unveils Sweeping Vision for Warner Bros: “This Is About Reinventing the Business” HBO Max and Paramount+ will be merged when the deal closes, the mogul told Wall Street early Monday morning.

When Ellison ordered everyone back to office 5 days/week, he didn’t account for the lot lacking the facilities personnel to accommodate that. He also laid off remote workers AFTER they had made arrangements to RTO.

He ain’t reinventing anything.

A friend at Paramount was told this is part of corporate’s mandate to “un-cancel“ creatives, hence deals w/ Will Smith, Ratner, etc. Employees are encouraged to submit names to upper management for those they want un-cancelled next. Sickening.

Imagine declaring a war on fraud when you’ve been convicted for 32 counts of it.

a close up of a face with the words this pleases me written below it Alt: Garak from Deep Space Nine says This Pleases Me (he's not in the episode Necessary Evil, but he rules as does this gif!)

Necessary Evil is one of the all-time episodes of #StarTrek DS9 for so many reasons: another banger of a script from Peter Allan Fields, everybody perfectly understands the film noir assignment, it just works in every way -- but when Odo does a perfect "just one more thing" Columbo line delivery 🙌

In elementary school, it was Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory or A LOT of Disney Dean Jones films.

Middle school was… weird. Our social studies teacher played, all on VHS, either Soderbergh’s KING OF THE HILL or Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” music video on a loop.

Today is a milestone day for me. My first episode of television in nearly a decade begins shooting.

I started out as a script coordinator, learning from incredible showrunners and soaking up everything I could. And the whole time -- I KEPT WRITING.

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research.

Pretty sure I can retire now after meeting with Sterling K. Brown and him tell me that I’m the man. No way anything from here on out will top that.

This is like when Michael Scott declared bankruptcy. Saying it aloud doesn’t make it fucking true but this delusional narcissist believes it does.

I mean, that about captures it www.axios.com/2026/02/17/t...

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I had the privilege of talking to Robert Duvall at a CRAZY HEART FYC event. He didn‘t like the dog and pony show of it all, so he spent 5 mins or so talking to me about football & sharing unsolicited stories about Coppola. He was so kind and generous w/ his time, glad he shared some of it with me.

Bringing this back

Joe Biden had one bad debate and the entire Democratic Party kicked him to the curb in a weekend.

Chuck Schumer fails us every day and Democrats act like there’s nothing they can do?

Call your Democratic Senators and demand that Schumer step down as Minority Leader.

this is the kind of talk im here for

Yes he should. So what are you and your colleagues going to do to ensure he does?

Stop telling us that which we already know and do what we voted you into office to get done.

Fuck all the way off, and then fuck off a little further, just keep going and fucking off until you're completely out of fucking off space and then fuck off just a tiny bit further.

If something happens to this little boy...we need to shut everything down IMMEDIATELY.

(for the record we should already be planning a national general strike--and not just for a day.

It needs to be for a week, minimum. Everything stops.
