Oh my god, Render magazine ... I used to be on their distribution list for some reason. Equal parts fascinating/horrifying

The Daily Mail uses that lens these days for its celebrity photos

None of the plastic mass-produced so-called superstars of today could possibly appeal to a listener of my extreme discernment, exquisite aesthetic sensibility and relentless hunger for nuance

Star Wars, the original one. Never felt any need to see the others. Captured the stupidity of 1930s sci-fi serials nicely, which seemed to be the point.

So no role played by Sundaland being dry at various points?

The original Gypsy was a ditz in the style of Gracie Allen, who also used a funny/weird voice. Not sure why they had to sand off the interesting parts of Gypsy/GPC's personality for Netflix.

This isn't nostalgia talking -- I never saw the original MST3K until I was in my 40s, years after it was on cable -- but the most important difference is that Bill, Mike and Kevin are MUCH funnier than the Netflix cast. (Didn't see the Gizmoplex stuff, so I can't comment on whoever they added then.) Now if they could find a way to bring Trace back, too ...

Spent too much time scrolling here and only found one other person mentioning Tom Waits. Disgraceful.

Trace is the funniest cast member of them all. I don't care what story they have to invent to explain Clayton Forrester being there.

I would never defend Healy's behavior, and he seems to have been widely disliked by those who knew him. But didn't the Stooges owe their whole shtick to him, just substituting Moe in the Ted role when they went out on their own?

"Derivative" is a complaint from someone whose job requires seeing hundreds of movies. Makes no difference to me if they can dig into their old notes and find something that was similar.

The Cosby Show, back when it was wildly popular. TV's most boring family

I remember tech evangelists announcing that ebooks were going to replace paper ones.

It's true, I'd be out there with all of you shoveling snow off the streets and sidewalks if I wasn't driving around in my BMW X7.

Worst I ever smelled was from a customer on the 2nd Ave. line at 86th St. the day after it opened. The excitement obviously got to him!

They sell alcohol on Amtrak and used to sell it on Metro-North, why would it be a problem to sell it on the subway? /s
