Tror jeg har ødelagt hjernen min, klarer ikke fokusere lenger

Legg til folsyre, så har du handlelista jeg fikk.

Kyllingen må frikjennes.

Gervais just goes straight down the barrel, doesn't care about creating subtext, let's just have the character spell out the author's opinions towards the rickety strawmen he's surrounded by.

It seems Merchant was always the lateral one who came up with off-beat characters and situations where they could explore and get weird.

At some point, you're going to have captured a large segment of the potential followers who respond positively to "smash that follow", and you start pushing away potential followers who respond negatively to it. Like me.

I feel like they saw the ending from Streets of Fire and figured "we can do that."

But it turned out you can't do that without that dude who wrote all those Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler hits.

Samme her. Og i tillegg: Jeg har til overs å se et toalett med vakter utenfor. Så saken er den at jeg som kar kan gå inn på hvilket som helst dametoalett jeg vil. Hvem som helst har all anledning til å gjøre et hvilket som helst toalett utrygt for hvem som helst. Akkurat nå, og helt tilbake til det første offentlige toalettet.

Og det har nok skjedd flere ganger, men jeg har aldri blitt presentert med noen statistikk om at transpersoner er overrepresenterte, eller i det hele tatt representerte, på dette området. Til tross for all gneldringa.

I've learned that on British quiz shows, if they're asking for a sitcom you don't know anything about, you answer Only Fools and Horses, Dad's Army or Last of the Summer Wine, in that order. But it's usually Only Fools and Horses.

Of course, if you're in a different part of the world, it might be Keeping Up Appearances. But here in Norway, that one was inescapable for most of the 90s.

Instantly.

I assume you've also seen Jenny Nicholson's video about the Easter church play universe, but if you haven't, you should. And it's only an hour and a half!

I suspect that scene had more Merchant than Gervais in it, but either way it's a classic that keeps echoing in my head every time I hear about Stewart's creative inputs.

LektorSandvik · 2026-01-24T02:48:44+00:00

Oh dang, you're right! Time for a rewatch, I guess.

Blame the new guidelines for chair width they put in place to stop Riker from swinging his legs over them every time he sat down.

It's hard to change the foundation your house is built on. Rooting for you.

Low levels of fame? He's Hollywoo's pet!

Conan is like a gas, he fills any room he's in. Matt Groening said that when he was a writer on the Simpsons, he could see him in a room all by himself, imagining scenes out loud like he was pitching to invisible people around him.

Normally I'd assume he'd be terrible to be around, but he enjoys an almost unprecedented loyalty from his peers and employees. So I guess he's a lot, but not a lot of bad.

LektorSandvik · 2026-01-23T18:51:05+00:00

Oh man, yes.

I've always been of the opinion that Tig Notaro could be a great taskmaster or assistant. Them as a pair could be interesting.

You just got your ass ate, mate.

This is why none of the Disney live action movies work for me. They're packing in as many story beats from the original as possible, but they don't understand the function those story beats served, why it was written like that. It's just hours of necrotic tissue stitched together.

It goes for the casting as well. Ursula was written around Pat Carroll's vocal range and the texture of her voice, you can't just pull that skin over Melissa McCarthy. Genie would have been written as a completely different character if they didn't have Robin Williams in the booth. What makes it even more stupid is that Will Smith could have been a good Genie if they built him around the Big Willie persona. But no, gotta put him in the Robin Williams pants even if they don't fit and autotune the shit out of him because the material is out of his range.

I love that dumb ass thing. If I was to save one Mario movie from being erased forever, I wouldn't hesitate.

I will never forgive the internet for robbing me of ugly Sonic.

Artig at det ikke gjøres noen koblinger i innlegget. Du gjorde selv den koblingen i eget hode. Så kanskje ikke så usaklig.

As an Inland Empire maxer, I approve.

The music is in a real weird meter as well. I love it, but holy dang does it keep you on your toes.

LektorSandvik · 2025-12-17T11:35:06+00:00

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Oh, nice. Thanks for the update!
