    I caught Diary of a Madman on TCM tonight. Not too remarkable other than Price being really great as always and Nancy Kovak being delightful. I had to look up her credits to see where I knew her from; among a lot of TV credits, she's Darren's ex-fiancé and Sam's foil in season one of Bewitched. I'd never really thought about it, but watching this made me realize that for decades most horror movies ended with a bunch of old men sitting around and basically going, "so...that happened."

    I liked the escalation from Just Happy to Be Here Kurt to Veteran Who Bit Off More Than He Could Chew Kurt to Pissed Off Wrestling Machine Kurt. The hype video was better than it had any right to be for having no TV build to showcase. The collective groaning whenever Elias was announced killed me.

    Cannot stop watching this boomerang.

    Hopefully there's another two years between seasons for the heat on the gross fandom to die down.

    It's weird that one of his biggest beefs would be that it's pushing back the production of the next Fast movie. It must be exhausting making one of them a year.

    Tom Petty

    (BP) replied to Brian Fowler's topic in MUSIC

    Petty has a tremendous body of work with the Heartbreakers and The Traveling Wilburys, but the balls it took to bankrupt himself recording Damn the Torpedoes to fight his record company is something else. There's nothing like artists betting on themselves and winning.

    The issue with this current season seemed to be more about the animation than the writing. The animators at Starburns just unionized and threatened a strike. Their demands were very reasonable and were met, but I don't know how that'll affect things going forward. I'm sure Harmon and Roiland are anxious to get a faster turnaround going. The season four deal sounds like it's the one that's going to finally make them serious money from the show, and I'm sure their counting on having enough episodes to make a major syndication deal in the near future.

    I'd forgotten that. That was one of those weird things where they tried to fan the flames on it by acting like they were just working the boys backstage to create controversy.

    I think the Cena promo after the Brock match was about Cena wanting to take time off that Vince wouldn't approve and Cena trying to go into business for himself to get it. If I'm not mistaken they immediately followed this up with throwing him into an of out of nowhere feud with Laurenitis just to give him something to do, so they probably planned for him to take time and then panicked about ratings. Or he thought he had an injury from the match that turned out not to be too bad. Or his brains were just scrambled from letting Brock stiff him.

    I have a vivid memory of a trailer for the Corman Fantastic Four playing on the televisions in Blockbuster at that time, so there was some sort of release strategy that didn't work out.

    I was just thinking about I'm From Hollywood recently. It's really wild that it's essentially a Memphis comp strung together with the comedian interviews. It must've been on Comedy Central a couple times a week for years. I wonder what the story was there. Someone just bought the tapes and hustled the participants into thinking it was a straightforward doc about Andy?

    I had no idea Bernthal was married to Kurt's niece.

    That rules. That's the kind of carny shit that's so perfect Vince would roll a tear at if he saw...while calling McDevitt to steamroll them.

    I really liked the first episode of No-End House. The atmosphere for the rooms was terrific, and I think it's neat that the rest of the series seems like it'll take place in Room 6. I'm assuming each episode we'll get background on what the other kids saw in their respective rooms 4 and 5.

    I got halfway through Stone Killer once and I found the plot so impenetrable, mostly because of terrible ADR in the mafia scenes that made no sense, that I gave up.

    I don't know about Roku, but on Xbox the Hulu update also came with the most aggressive earth-shaking log-on tone that I've ever heard. I have to mute the television beforehand to not upset the toddler and the dogs when I enter the app, regardless of what the volume of the tv is set to.

    I recall it being short and mostly built on comedy spots.

    I didn't want to bump the Flair thread and freak anyone out, but I had to post this for, "I think this'll open a whole new door for motivational speaking." Workers are always working.

    Heads up for anyone interested that Channel Zero season 2 starts tonight on SyFy. This season they're doing the No-End House creepy pasta story.

    I didn't realize Vice Principals was back. That'll give us something to watch tonight. Morty's Mind Blowers felt like the weakest episode this season to me, but this run of Rick and Morty has been remarkably consistent and it was coming off of the Citadel episode, so it's not really a knock on the episode. i just got into Toast of London. Matt Berry has always cracked me up in Darkplace and IT Crowd, but this show reveals the full extent of his genius. It's such a bravura performance of utter absurdity, but theres always a weirdly relatable vulnerability to Toast that makes him likeable. It's easy to play a selfish bore, but it's difficult to make you root for the character anyway. And the show's songs got me into Berry's acid jazz albums, which are fantastic.

    It's been said quite a few times on here over the years, his call on Royal Rumble 92 is one of the greatest commentary performances ever. Such a genius.

    I don't think anyone's going to lose sleep if they retcon the Busta Rhymes reality show installment of the franchise, to be honest.

    Frank Vincent, the undisputed king of mob movie beat downs.

    The Singhs are going to die trying to get that title match over. I'd guess KO/Shane will be relatively tame as far as big spots. Probably something like the powerbomb through one of the cell walls.

    Yeah, I rewrote it a few times and it was still a poorly constructed sentence.
