Dan Fogelman must have seen my social media ranting about how Sterling K Brown is the only person who could take over the Die Hard franchise and made this episode of Paradise just for me. I love this show so damn much

I’m at the MAD TV 30 year anniversary show at The Baked Potato on Ventura. I’m the only one here — does it start later? Little help?

Happy Friday, folks! Remember to check the safety on Chekhov’s Gun before you kill your darlings.

Me: idk, I feel like the Samuel L. Jackson bits were maybe too heavyhanded, we don’t need the subtext spelled out for us, the audience is smarter than that Me after reading several insane takes about the halftime show: I think maybe the Samuel L. Jackson bits were not heavyhanded enough

“It’s got, of course, arguably, the best film-within-a-film that anybody’s ever created. That’s certainly unthinkable now that you would stop a film dead for that length of time and show something that deeply deranged.” —Steven Soderbergh

Mark L. Lester's Commando: prime Schwarzeneger. Economic action cinema where not a minute is wasted. The supporting cast is excellent & each character feels fully developed - a rarity in this type of movie. This is total entertainment - the perfect way to let off some steam!
