@Avatree It's Ryan Murphy in campy mode. Gotta just go with the flow.

Must be the day for trailers for buzzy new shows. Definitely looks like this will be competing in the Drama categories.

Meh.

 

Steve Carell's talented and everything, but he really needs to stop screaming. Every time I heard him shout in Beautiful Boy, all I could think of was Michael Scott lol

He needs another Dan in Real Life/Crazy Stupid Love kind of project tbh. Feels like ever since his Oscar nom for Foxcatcher he's been trying to solidify himself as a Very Serious Prestige Actor and it hasn't really worked out.

I don’t think that scene is specifically about racism at all, could be applied to systemic racism.  But it more easily fits amoung a general working class vs the elite theme.

 

 

The biggest divide between us these days is more class then race.

I think my favorite part was having to rewatch the credits twice and then check IMDB because "why are you calling Ron Livingston Mark Duplass?"

 

I mean, I'm always here for narratives about women and the unintended hilarity of Steve Carell Trying To Be A Serious Actor In This Role, but is going to promise me Everything?

 

Everything?

 

Everthing?

 

EVERY

 

THING.

We are not Americans.

 

Race divide in the US can be spectacular :

 

64% whites vs 9% black voted for a republican candidate in the 2018 election, opinion on the race situation was one of the biggest predictor of voting pattern:

Among those who said whites are favored in the U.S., 87% voted for Democrats. By contrast, large majorities of those who said minorities are favored (85%) or that no group is favored (69%) voted for Republican candidates.

 

The higher the income the more likely an American is to be republican, but it is not to the same degree:

   

Rep	Dem	Ind	(VOL.) Other/DK	Rep/Lean Rep	Dem/Lean Dem	No leaning	Unweighted N

DETAILED FAMILY INCOME
$150,000+	33	32	32	3	46	48	6	1,069
$100,000 to $149,999	34	30	33	3	51	45	4	1,188
$75,000 to $99,999	31	30	35	4	48	44	8	1,084
$50,000 to $74,999	32	30	35	4	49	44	6	1,275
$40,000 to $49,999	31	31	35	3	47	46	7	638
$30,000 to $39,999	31	33	33	3	47	46	7	671
<$30,000	20	43	34	3	32	60	8	1,464

The Morning Show is just a rip-off of the criminally underrated movie Morning Glory.

[TMP]

Wait, so WB is two different movie studios now? Idk about that chief. I liked how they were still releasing smaller stuff in cinemas.

There was speculation here about Disney continuing it’s relationship with Stan.

Didn't Soderbergh already release a movie exclusively on HBO before? Maybe this movie would have released on HBO if HBO Max didn't exist. I'm hoping WB continues to release films theatrically.

I find it odd Disney+ isn’t launching in the UK straight away but perhaps that’s due to Brexit. 

[cookie]

Netherlands and nobody else in the EU gets it on launch day? Weird decision.

I have a beautiful pic of my foot I could show you, but don’t know how to.  So imagine a foot with a three inch incision on the big toe and a second, shorter incision on the toe next to the big toe.  More than 30 new dangled double stitches.  And finally the colors.  Red, green and blue.  Because of the red they checked my temp and it was not indicative of an infection so it is now rewrapped.  Ten days for the swelling to go down so I can be put in a cast.

 

Go Broncos!  And Boo Disney not streaming on amazon.

Ow ow ow... slow and steady wins the race, I guess. Hopefully the cast will help with the healing.

Yeah, I think you are right.  It will give more stability than the splint.
