Oh boy.
ETA: I just read the article. Holy fucking shit, what a brain dead doctor. He’s claiming Oliver took his comments out of context. The in context full quote is in the article. IT DOESN’T SOUND ANY BETTER!!! This dude is going to lose hard.

It all depends on how you define “out of context”. Clearly, this moron defines it as “in a way that makes me look bad”.

This looks pretty stupid, but . . . Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jack Quaid? How bad could it be?

Alexander cured me of ever asking that question again. I am simply not imaginative enough to tell.

It may work, but that looks like a relatively long set up before a few minor jokes. The ZAZ guys didn’t usually waste time like that. And kinda bloody for a Naked Gun.

The Pitt continues to be amazing, but the most recent episode did contain possibly the most unrealistic moment in the show so far. A 13 year old boy came into the ER. His younger sister had called 911. Their parent were at the movies. The ER was trying to get ahold of the parents.
ETA: Also, that’s Dr. King, played by Taylor Dearden, who I recently discovered is Bryan Cranston’s daughter.

I can’t quite tell – was that the unrealistic part? Or is it the claim that their phones were off?

Switching off their phones! You’ll be lucky when everybody in the cinema puts them in airplane mode.

It’s a joke referencing how common it is for people to leave their phones on in the theater.

I’m concerned about Liam Neeson. Leslie Nielsen was like Ted Knight (or I’d even say Craig Kilborn who went seamlessly from sports anchor to The Daily Show without really changing much); they look and sound like a certain sort of clueless overconfident pompousness that is inherently funny when played straight. Liam Neeson looks and sounds… like a normal actor. Maybe he has comedic chops, but I’m skeptical he can pull this off.

I have to admit that I haven’t actually seen the Taken movies, but I was under the impression that there is a certain amount of pomposity to be found.
I interpret this as Neeson’s attempt not to end up like Clint Eastwood.
Also he was pretty good during his cameo in a comedy series that shall remain unnamed.

We’ve been watching Rutherford Falls on Peacock streaming this month.
It’s cringey at times, but I’m enjoying it overall.
It’s exploring US tribal/white people conflicts in a sitcom format.
If anyone remembers Spenser, for hire, the 80’s P.I. Tv show, some of the monologues by the main tribal leader are reminiscent of some of Hawk’s speeches in that show.
The last episode I saw had them uncovering a “Pretindian” in their midst, and the set-down was good.

I think that there is a sort of mugging for the camera, while Leslie Nielsen & Co, played it absolutely straight. I can actually see Neeson, in his “Taken” persona in this, taking everything seriously, while ridiculous mayhem is blowing up all over the place, but that’s not the tone of the trailer, anyway.
He was funny in his guest role in Derry Girls, but it was quite a different role.

Maybe I named it, and maybe I owe you a coke.

A curious story line. Not really science fiction. More like the Doctor finds himself in a James Bond movie, where a criminal mastermind is trying to take over the world by manipulating natural disasters. But there is a twist — the criminal mastermind looks exactly like the Doctor!
A great dual performance from Patrick Troughton.
I think the second doctor had the most consistently well-written shows. Very enjoyable twists and turns throughout the story. But then in the last 5 minutes, it just ends. I feel like there should have been a fifth episode, but they ran out of money.
Nice supporting work from Bill Kerr and Carmen Munroe.
