His "delivery" was fine and he did not "botch" a thing. A superb interview that got funny at about 47 minutes in.

The long article linked there is one of the best I've seen, superb in depth, and ends with hopeful ideas and guidelines that can protect and serve us meat brains. Worth the time to read and contemplate it all. On the other side... If you like to be scared, this is an extremely complex and...

I've said many times, and probably in this thread too, that a film adaptation owes nothing to the original work. Each and every film must be judged on its own, unless the director specifically says he wanted fidelity to the novel (or source, like a stage play). There are also endless ways a...

If this is about the Trump cult and the general Republican Party, it's another failure to understand them.

I have less interest in either the Superbowl or (typically) the halftime show than in parasitic worms, but I found this Vox article on the meanings Bad Bunny put into his show. It's so well-thought-out and interesting I will find and watch it on video...

When Rush created "Witch Hunt," it was somewhat referencing the '80s emergence of things like the Moral Majority, their hatred of gays, and some book burning back then. Today, right now in the last few years, it fits our own horrifying problems a thousand times better. A song of both terror --...

Well, I certainly do think the jury is still out on whether this can become a great series. As I detailed above, I am sympathetic to people who are not responding positively in whatever way to the show so far. I've had some issues during this season, while thinking the ending was dynamite...

Surprised about the lack of discussion on this show, which is grabbing awards. For those interested, and only if you've seen the whole season, a good video:

Also enjoying Fallout, which is a very trivial series compared to others mentioned, but I had great fun years ago with the massive open world video games of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 that has been adapted here. The show captures the same 1950's Cold War, alternate universe the games invented, a...

Yes, a variety of people (many in the medical profession) have noted that The Pitt has been really the first truthful depiction of what an emergency room in America is really like. When you move out and up a level, it is also realistic about the problems with American medicine and all the...

Saw 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. I am a big-time hater of sequels, and have watched this whole set of 28 {insert time frame needed} movies because of the people involved, good reviews, and recommendations. This latest is good, but the subtle, surprisingly emotional performance of Ralph...

You can report the GoFundMe for supporting a murderer, and it might be taken down. Pass this along everwhere. CLICK HERE TO REPORT THE FUNDRAISER 1) Select “No” Under Do you know the fundraiser. 2) Under what best describes you select: “ I am an individual concerned by the fundraiser” 3)...

America is in the process of destroying itself. It will continue, and be justified, due to the return of Trump to the presidency and the immovable nature of his cult. From a good "two worlds" essay: Trump, in a Truth Social post, wrote, “I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place...

Saw the niche subject matter film Blue Moon, a biopic of sorts about lyricist Lorentz Hart. If you know musical theater, maybe more if you know early musical theater, you know of his skillful collaborations with composer Hammerstein. In the film we see how the latter kind of divorces the extra...
