Jennifer Tilly plays a baddie in the current season?! If my brother truly loved me, he would have led with that information

My brother convinced me to watch School Spirits, and I am enjoying it very much

The *irreparable* damage Michael Silver did to my mind as a child

Where you place Army of Darkness in your Sam Raimi ranking tells me all I need to know

Top season, mid winner

Eva Victor as Rian on Billions

Eva Victor as Agnes in Sorry, Baby

Jumped back into Billions after a long break and lost it when I realized that Rian has been Eva Victor this whole time. Her range! Her talent!

I cannot! 💀 (he’s so hot 😭)

I’ve picked my fav (didn’t take long)

Mike White lounging in the sand on Survivor: David vs. Goliath

Snowbound with snacks and onto David vs. Goliath

Agreed. The winner earned it, but only made it to final three by the grace of that twist

If not for the final four fire-making challenge, [redacted] would’ve taken it 😤 (winner deserved it tho 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Yes. Watched them for the first time last year, more gruesome than I expected

Back on my Survivor bs, starting Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers

Watchlisted literally all of them

Thanks! This one is new to me

Learned that I have 4 Audible credits (idk how). Has anyone listened do any good audiobooks lately?

Crazy yet not uncommon. I’ve been on a number of indie sets where the director didn’t know what they wanted (or how to get it) so the DP basically took over

Rhea Seehorn should absolutely get that beta blocker prescription. As a lifelong very nervous nelly, I can confirm: beta blockers rule! (Thanks to the nurse practitioner who gave them to me—something no MD had ever thought to do!)

If a fiction book is part of a series (not standalone), then it’s not a novel?

PTA shouting out his AD 🤌🏼🤌🏼 Truly great ADs are a miracle

Interesting! Maybe this is a contemporary way of thinking, but I think of genre as having more to do with subject matter and expectations. “Novel” doesn’t tell me what kind of fiction I’m getting, just that it’s going to be long form

Seems like if long form fiction is a genre, then short form would be as well

Do you consider “short story” a genre too?

Wouldn’t a novel be more of a form (or format) of fiction?
