Good for him. He’s been kind of on an apology tour since “Imma give him (Trump) a chance” maybe this finally puts that to bed.

I know people don’t really like season 6, especially part 1, but it sure as shit was on top of tv when it ended.
I didn’t click on the other link you posted but Tony’s dead. Thought it was a perfect ending to a series that was perfect tv.
Edit add: name another more tense moment of tv than meadow parallel parking

Not gonna click on that. Pretty sure it’s rank propaganda from depraved soft-G radicals, but still not clicking on it, just in case.

It’s pronounced with a soft G and that’s a fact, deucey.
Uhhhh, it’s pronounced “deukey”
Wait, I may have to rethink that savage comeback

I watched it twice.
I enjoyed the shots of the audience wearing masks. You’d think you’d need to see their mouths to “see” how they experience humor, but their smiles and their laughter and their heartache are clear through their eyes alone.

Finished Black Mirror by watching one or two every night.
Only a couple of weak episodes out of the twenty three, with most being somewhere between very good and brilliant.
The way that some futuristic themes recur remind me a little of Ballard’s talking flowers and walls that remember sounds that repeated throughout his short stories.

Watched “da Five Bloods” and hated myself the whole time. Spike Lee may make “important” movies–or at least tackle important issues that others won’t–but he does so in such a ham-fisted way that I always think a High School AV geek could have done a better job.
Five Bloods features actors in their 60s in flashbacks to the Vietnam war, complete with paunches and gray beards, “running” and “jumping” behind boulders in firefights. The special effects are 1970’s B-Movie quality. The social commentary is typical Spike–no subtlety allowed.
Havnt watched this but you are straight up insane if you think Lee is ham fisted or amateur. He is easily one of the best working directors. He literally created a lot of modern film language.
Then I guess I’ll claim semi-insanity. Looking back over his work, there are a few of his films that I didn’t remember were his, so I guess his beat-you-over-the-head style isn’t always there.
The Hunt was spectacular. I went in thinking this thing had so much controversy around it (from people who had never seen it!), it had better be worth all that outrage lol.
And it was great! I thought it would be predictable and way too on the nose, but it’s well executed. I describe it as a political version of Game Night. Lots of delightful surprises, good performances, and even some surprisingly clever political commentary.

My mom knew Harold Ramis in college. They weren’t good friends or anything, but they were familiar enough from fraternity/sorority events to stop and say hi when they passed each other on campus (I think she told me she was his fraternity’s sorority “sweetheart,” which is really weird for me to imagine). She said he was one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

That’s a great story.
I assume a sorority sweetheart is something salacious
