  1. Thought I'd seen the parent-mad-that-kid-didn't-take-basketball-shot scene from AMERICAN CRIME debut before. Realized it was in THE SLAP.

  2. What if sites covered all ads as breathlessly as movie/TV trailers? "FIRST LOOK: Subway's new sandwich looks freakin' awesome!"

  3. See, if Jakku had a giant fleshpot with theme hotels that reproduced Coruscant or whatever, it would make sense!

  4. I'm thinking OK, maybe some desolate rocks were settled as waystations, but if you have hyperspace travel, is location even an issue?

  5. Like, at some point, someone flew by Tattooine and said, "Yeah, it looks desolate, but think of all the MOISTURE we could farm there!"

  6. What is the economic system of the Galaxy that it bothers to colonize all these dirt-poor, seemingly valueless planets like Jakku?

  7. (Or at least reporting it without saying that Netflix is claiming it w/o independent backup. It may be the truth, but who knows?)

  8. Yep. Reporting Netflix's viewership claims is like letting a campaign report its own poll numbers.

  9. "Who tinkered with Ms. Bee’s phone so that when she types the name Jason' it comes out 'I want to marry Ted Cruz'?"

  10. Just opened a live radio interview saying, "Thanks to be with you!" I AM A PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATOR.

  11. Retweeted

    At 2:40 p.m., TV critic talks the end of "American Idol" Listen:

  12. Good on the weaknesses/strengths of "Making a Murderer," and how they may be one and the same.

  13. RTed and endorsed.

  14. Another Death Star goes up in flames, starting tonight: why AMERICAN IDOL mattered, then didn't.

  15. *Googles "baby shower present tiny wig"*

  16. Press release required Save to Cart, Download, unpack a .zip & open 5 nested folders. Eventually I will need to find a crypt in a pyramid.

  17. There are many reasons a 10,000-character limit on Twitter would be a bad idea, but it's too complicated to get into a tweet.

  18. AMERICAN CRIME is a good example of my preceding tweet: in 2000, it'd have been "WOW"; in 2016 it is what it is, strong but with its flaws.

  19. On the new "American Crime," strong but a little stiff, whose themes could double as a Democratic debate agenda.
