@KrangTNelson That’s Mr. Bates from Downton Abbey.

@DTA_Listens Why is DTA Connect still down? It has been over a week!

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@daniel_fidler Lucky (show) was insanely boring. I read that it had little resemblance to the book anyway.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@DTA_Listens DTAconnect dot com has been "down for maintenance" for a week now! This is not acceptable.

@LexG_III This is genuinely a wonderful show, ftr. It's a BBC production that Apple airs in the US; maybe they haven't bothered to tell a single American about it because it's not really their show? 🤷‍♂️

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@AlanBurnett03 @LexG_III There's even a documentary about actresses aging out of stardom called Searching for Debra Winger. (I think she's in it; it's not a mean title.)

She was in Rachael Getting Married, which at this point must be her most watched title in any given month.

@LexG_III This isn't timely but I watched one episode of FUBAR because Monica Barbaro is on it. They took a generic '90s action comedy and made it EIGHT HOURS LONG. People must have infinite free time.

@LexG_III In 10th or 11th grade history (circa 1997) we had an essay exam on the civil rights movement. My friend accidentally referred to notorious racist sheriff Bull Connor as "Bull Shannon" (Richard Moll''s bailiff on Night Court). 😁 I'll still remember that at age 90.

@LexG_III Unrelated but Christopher Landon is way better-looking than you'd expect a comedy-horror director to be.

@joshuarolson @LexG_III I've been a huge fan of hers for years and this is true. A Golden Globe nomination would have been nice but in a field of 5 she had no chance.

A best picture nom would've been reasonable. It had great reviews and was the highest grossing non-Disney, non-Star Wars film of 2017.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@edgewalker81 @LexG_III Seriously. She just has olive skin.

@LexG_III I have to get a colonoscopy every few years. The prep sucks but it's worth it when they give you that sweet sweet sleeping juice. There's a cold but nice feeling as it passes from the IV bag into your arm and takes effect within seconds.

@LexG_III Boston has 3 cinephile-type theaters (none actually in Boston proper). We have nothing on New York.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@LexG_III Barry Levinson has been on such an endless cold streak that at this point Sam Levinson is keeping his career alive.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@daniel_fidler When I was 14 my guitar teacher mentioned/boasted that he was also teaching Daniel Stern while he was in town filming this. I've still never seen it—does Stern play guitar in it, or was he just looking for guitar lessons while away from L.A.?

I've had this question for 30 years.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@PeteMitchell158 @LexG_III Good CGI was a big draw in 1996. I don't think that's enough anymore.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@LexG_III Most interesting thing I've seen all year.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@LexG_III The Estevez part was so awkward. He was standing up the whole time; not exactly up for the long sit-down McCarthy was looking for.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@LexG_III Jason Segel also mentions that he jacked off to the entire freshman facebook.

I started college the year after it came out. Once I referred to someone as a "Buckley Schrank" (the weirdest roommate they get). No one got it; never tried it again.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@LexG_III Great point. You'd just be called a "copagandist." Something called The Polanski 'Preciation Pod would be better received.

[Bugs Meany @BugsMeany]

@LexG_III Very definition of a non sequitur.
