I’ve been meaning to revisit this series. It felt only slightly alarmist when it originally aired. Now I imagine it may seem tame.

Is this show any good standalone? I couldn’t get into Yellowstone prime.

This is at best lazy posting, but closer to spam.

What’s funny is I’m being told “there would be way more blood.”

This show is overflowing with heart and humanity. I love it.

Watching a lot of current stuff, but also re-watching the Netflix Daredevil series in anticipation of the D+ Born Again series. They go so hard with that show.

Fuck that guy and his fake-ass smile. I manually hid the show so I don’t have to look at his dead-eyed mug.

Former Fox News host and now podcaster whose brand relies on jostling conservative women to anger over culture wars.

“Well, the [original] show was about as woke as you could get for 1974,” says Arngrim. “We dealt with … everything on Little House on the Prairie from drug addiction to racism, to sexism, to spousal abuse. Women’s rights, we absolutely had the episode where the women held out for right to own property … Every possible cutting edge social issue was absolutely discussed … but it was done in such a ‘Little House on the Prairie, what would the Ingalls do’ kind of way, that I think people just didn’t even think of it as being a big deal.”

“Little House was incredibly woke,” Butler notes. “It’s just woke in a very simple, sweet way. It’s not beating you over the head with it, but it’s really woke — and from that, I’m going to say I think woke is a good thing. I don’t think woke is a bad thing. Woke has been turned into a dirty word. It’s not a dirty word. Woke is aware, it’s progressive, it’s understanding that the world ebbs and flows and changes.”

Why so negative when we know almost nothing about it yet?

Starring Jessica Biel and Kaya Scodelario, The Truth About Emanuel, played at the Sundance Film Festival when it was first released. It did not have much success, grossing just $226 in Los Angeles and $9 from one viewer in Philadelphia.

OUCH haha

What a premise.

You have no idea dude. I work in the industry and executives are making the worst decisions you can imagine based on their own narrow, moronic view of culture. It’s enough to make you want to quit the career entirely sometimes.

Yeah I cancelled with the last increase. Just insane.

Your spoiler tag doesn’t work in my app (Mlem, iOS). But I fully agree with that series idea. Like how has that not been done?!

Saving you a click: LA fires have caused much of Hollywood writ large to delay announcements. Several film festivals have delayed their lineup announcements for the same reason.

If you don’t watch the trailer or read the name of the movie, Shaun of the Dead sorta plays out that way.

Graham is the pitch master. He doesn’t miss a beat and he’s so engaging. It’s incredible to witness. He’ll be in the middle of it and just start crying. And then the person sitting next to him, his assistant, will go, “OK, [and keep explaining for him].” And then he gets his composure and starts again. It’s really fun.

Interesting detail.

They’ve been moving at this pace from the start and it’s remained awesome.

Saving you a click: Regular internalized performance nerves, nothing too interesting.

What was something that you were maybe most like nervous about going into it?

Everything. All of it. I was nervous about doing the character justice. I was nervous about what it would be like to work in a giant franchise, because I’ve never experienced that before. I was nervous about being bad. I was nervous that the swings I was taking would be embarrassing, sort of your run-of-the-mill shame tornado, kind of everything and anything.

I was going to say, “At what point did you feel like you got over it?” But did you? Because that’s sometimes a thing that actors have to just compartmentalize.

I experience this with a lot of what I work on, and I know other actors do too. I definitely calm down once I know there’s a certain amount of footage that they have. And I know that, like, at this point, it would be hard for them to fire me because they shot so much of it. I usually am like, “I think they would tell me by now if I were fired,” but so always in the beginning, it’s nerve wracking. So by the time we got to 4, I was like, “I think they would have let me go by now.”
