Heartbreaking hearing that the woman who Platner raped was hesitant to come forward because she agreed with his politics and didn’t want to damage The Movement. If you didn’t already realize, this sort of thing happens a lot more often than you hear about!
Ebert said of Bridget Fonda in Jackie Brown that she was “so good she’s invisible” and that’s kind of how I feel about Scott in 30 Rock. I already knew him from Mr. Show and he’s fantastic in both but on 30 Rock I *constantly* forgot that he was an actor playing a character
RIP and respect for Mitsuharu Misawa, who passed away on this date in Pro Wrestling History, June 13th, 2009 at the age of 46. Widely regarded as one of the greatest Japanese wrestlers ever, he started as the second-generation Tiger Mask in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) in 1984, becoming an instant sensation with his high-flying, hard-hitting style. He later dropped the mask and rose to become a dominant main-eventer, winning the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship multiple times and forming iconic rivalries with Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada, and Akira Taue (known as the “Four Pillars” of AJPW). Misawa’s stiff chops, precise execution, and emotional in-ring storytelling left a massive legacy, influencing countless wrestlers in Japan and beyond.
