I LOVE THE MIDDLEMAN! I'm over the moon that the lovely TV is Good podcast covered it, so I have a fresh excuse to yell loudly about how much fun this show is.
In this week’s @tvisgoodpod.bsky.social episode, Kathryn & I look at HBO’s Lanterns, then revisit a comic book deep cut with the delightful one-and-done action comedy The Middleman, starring a young Natalie Morales. Watch on YouTube:
Some movies are meant to be on basic cable. www.thehardpass.net/is-being-on-... You may not choose to actively rewatch a movie on a streamer, but if I'm in a hotel room and the Fugitive is on, I'm watching The Fugitive.
Is Being On TNT More Important Than Movie Theaters?
In 2023 I went to the New York City premiere of Air, the Ben Affleck directed film about the creation of the Air Jordan shoe. It was held at Warner Bros. NYC offices at Hudson Yards, a somewhat muted ...

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11
why has science not yet figured out a way to remove the caffeine from my body. it’s very simple: when I drank it, I needed it to live, and now, I need it gone before it kills me
Needs some beeswax to do that. Where'd I leave that beeswax...? I can't. I need to get the beeswax. Everyone's waiting on that beeswax. Beeswax... come on, Oddy, think! Know I saw some beeswax somewhere... Surely I can find some beeswax. Need to find the beeswax first.
Sirens, huh...? If only there were a way I could listen to their song *without* walking into the sea... Hmmm, maybe I could listen to their song *without* walking into the sea... Maybe this rope could help... but how...? I want to listen to their song, but if I do, I'll walk into the sea...

I like that Charlotte Brontë was basically telling a soapy saga about how the world is a hard and complicated place and sometimes Shit Happens, and Jane Austen is just like, “I’ve met the worst and simultaneously most boring people you can imagine. Hunker down, let me tell you all about them.”
Okay so Jane Austen is making me retroactively like a bunch of these characters I originally found annoying by simply surrounding them with actual demons. Well done.
ok I read the interview in full and notably he does not say that *no* minions worked for Hitler, just that the ones viewers have met so far did not. there is the opportunity to shut this down more explicitly and he does not take it. this is actually the funniest possible way to answer the question
Minions director Pierre Coffin has confirmed in an interview that no minions have worked with Hitler because they were frozen "in that cave."

In contrast, 18F built the US Tax Court a case management system for about $1.5m/year bsky.app/profile/rand...
The federal judiciary just announced that its raising PACER fees to pay to modernize the system. They are estimating about $125,000,000 per year to do the work. That number is simply unmoored from reality. It's enough money to pay over 600 people $200k salaries! 1/3 www.uscourts.gov/data-news/ju...

For the @nytimes.com, I put Titanium Court and Kafka in conversation. No one will give Josef K. a straight answer in The Trial. Titanium Court propels itself similarly with a parade of half-answers.
