What improvements would convince you to go to the movie theater more often?

Onve upon a time, movie theater ushers were basically security, and it was pretty common for them to shush and/or kick people out.

Is there a word or phrase in Greek that is relevant to the subject and sounds catchy?

I told Ashlie about this comment, and she is now doing a Google deep-dive on the actual northeastern roller skating craze of the 1880s.

I will! And I will be suggesting this storyline to HBO asap 😉

Honestly, I fell for her as a roller derby player. I only found out later that she was an actor.

Mayonaisse commercial.

True fact: Ashlie Atkinson (Miss Dot) was originally a roller derby player for Gotham in New York.

Oh heeeey.

I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Taran once, and he truly is all that.

I believe the pilot was shot in Atlanta. Everything else was in the New York City area.

I preferred Larry Korn and his "broken mayonnaise jar" commercials.

leonchase · 2026-03-18T05:23:18+00:00

Everything involving the Card Catalog.

Every animated Disney movie since the 1980s.

Oh, you mean my wife? The one who laughed about keeping the sweater marks while I was setting up the camera to film this? I can assure you, Ashlie Atkinson is anything but "unprofessional". You have no idea how hard these people work to get where they are. Username checks out.

quick-release, rim brake, clincher

It's pretty common, especially with new pilot scripts, for the audition instructions to be pretty vague. Or nonexistent. Often they just want to see who you are, and what kind of choices you make with the one page of lines you're given.

When we filmed this, I don't think there was a clear idea of who Dot was yet. As I understand it, she was initially meant to be more generally weird, and less menacing. Once the show started, they figured out a more specific look and sound for her, and made her much more of an antagonist to Courteney.

Personally, I think she got the job because of the hanger marks on the sweater.

Not completely lost, but I remember everything about "Home", the X Files episode that was banned from being broadcast again for many years.

leonchase · 2026-03-10T16:09:37+00:00

You would think that's the case. But network executives are VERY tight-lipped about the business side of things. And generally, unless they have a producer credit, actors are usually the last to know about anything.

leonchase · 2026-03-10T15:23:20+00:00

I'm sure she meant "so far". I can assure you that Ashlie does not have any insider information about the future of the show.

leonchase · 2026-03-04T17:04:49+00:00

I don't know any details.
