Parker Posey's angularity and scarily thin frame worked well in that respect for Blade: Trinity, so you may be on to something.

I'm wondering if maybe that could be intentional. Max comes from a broken home, has a family history of alcoholism, and after ping-ponging around the globe with little apparent direction he's settled on a notoriously fickle and uncertain career in music while also working in a bar where the temptation to drink must be sky high. Better writers might make it a plot point that he has extreme mood swings and the other characters never know which Max they're going to be getting on a given day.

I'm not sure that NYC would be that singled out anymore in the wake of Johannesburg, Sokovia, and what happened with Thanos, but then again the Snap would have disrupted society and various economies on a level that would put the World Wars to shame. It might be that the musical was an example of what resources can be devoted to the Arts years afterward.

Didn't Disney spend an ungodly amount of money on the Hawkeye series, about $25 million per episode? Like, enough that they COULD have mounted a Broadway-quality production for that scene rather than something that looked like community theatre?

I'm glad this is being done for people who loved that particular bit of fanservice, but the excerpt we saw from Rogers: The Musical made me cringe so hard you'd have to march me into that theater at gunpoint to make me sit through the whole thing.

Does he seem the type to save and invest wisely? I wouldn't be surprised if every spare dollar went to a flashy car loan and Pokemon cards. So Mateo's aunt adopted his twin brother as a child and then took him in as a young teen, right?

That she's been carrying unnoticed for the last 20 years?

I wasn't sorry to see the last of his smarmy attitude, though I'd have been okay with them keeping him around as a rival/antagonist if Sheila and Randi had gone to Defcon One over his antics putting Kat's business and wellbeing in jeopardy.

You're too merciful. I want one of the Real Parents to click the TV remote and trap him with Urkel.

I think that was just sticking his face into the purse and looking? I don't think we've seen a power from Crash (though maybe being able to be in two places counts?), the basement ghosts, or the annoying attic girl either, have we?

I rewatched yesterday and Isaac's puzzled reaction to "amorous congress" didn't feel right — it's a phrase I could easily see him using himself, and I can't imagine that he wouldn't understand the meaning, unlike the others. And Hetty had called for everyone's attention so it's not feasible that he could have missed hearing what she said at first. I wish Brandon had done a shocked gasp while everyone else looked confused.

Because the actor playing him is gay? No. There's never been the slightest indication that Max might not be straight, unless you count failure to generate any romantic chemistry with Kat. Which he's not alone in, only one character has managed to so far. Speaking of, I know the Kat and Max analogues were the big couple on Miranda, but the writers really should have recognized a good thing and kept Kat and Oscar together.

Weren't they both teachers after college? I forget what Max's original backstory was. But if they were both around kids all day, maybe they were desperate for adult company and too tired to seek out functional adults.

Thor clearly understands a lot about modern life based on his TV viewing. While his manner of speech might be pretty ingrained, I'm sure he could use more current vocabulary if he chose to.

Also I don't see it as being in Hetty's nature to give in to coercion, whether or not she'd be embarrassed by the reveal. Deciding to burn it all down to spite her blackmailer is much more in character. I have to agree about Todd. Does anyone really think he could keep all the creepiness about his obsession with Alberta hidden for any length of time while romancing her relative, when there would be constant Rebecca-style opportunities for her to find out? The only urgency was in Alberta being able to see Alicia reject him for herself rather than hearing about it through Sam the next time the two worked on a podcast together.

You'd have loved him on Call Me Cat then, his character on that show gave as much indication of being a sociopath as a mild sitcom could get away with.

raises hand...

It became Owen's whole identity for several weeks, so I guess he couldn't process that Marjan might offhandedly sell it off as soon as it had served its purpose.

Between Nancy Travis headlining and the youngest brother being a gay bull fighter I feel obligated to watch, but moments of real entertainment were thin on the ground. So far they've mainly been restricted to Jake Foy singing and his character getting into a snipe-fest with the obvious Mean Girl. (About whom, what is her thinking, exactly? Being rude to all three of the closest relatives of the guy you've set your sights on before you've gotten so much as a glimmer of interest from him isn't exactly a winning strategy.)

Am I the only one who would be thrilled to get to ride in a truck driven by Dot-Marie Jones?

I thought Miller's Flash was the most poorly-acted character throughout most of the theatrical Justice League movie (admittedly he had, maybe, three good scenes that weren't cringeworthy), and that's with competition from Amber Heard's Mera and the rebooted CGI main villain.

There was probably a 30-minute window where they could have asked before the series had to be rushed into production, and the person whose responsibility it was missed a train or couldn't find a parking spot.

Yeah, Christine McVie is/was perhaps my favorite musician, but I'm not aware of any work she did specifically for film that would have required her inclusion. Did she do uncredited backup vocals on "Holiday Road"?

Yeah, I think they take their chances moving an injured person when they're currently in a just-bombed roadhouse that's in the process of burning to the ground.

I bought a largely useless tablet for my mother off one of those infomercials on QVC, so I swore never again on ordering call-in TV buying. I have been mostly happy with my TEMU purchases though; two out of three bathroom mat products are great (the toilet lid cover component is chintzy and ill-fitting, but I regard those as unneeded anyway) and the carpet pet hair roller is downright magical.
