It's sort of funny/sad that for all of our hourly rage here, if November turns out to be a wave election, it will probably be for the most ordinary and traditional of reasons: People don't like the way things are going and they're tired of the man/party in charge.

It's all so tired. Every day, something "like no one has ever seen before" or "a fury unlike anything in history" or something that just sounds like a weakening old man with limited language powers struggling to feel mighty. I'm not minimizing its danger--it's dangerous!--but who's still listening?
I always think of Ozzie and Harriet, a show that ran for a thousand seasons with zero cultural traction; I couldn't answer a single question about it. And all those cop/detective shows--Cannon, Mannix, Barnaby Jones, Ironside--that lasted forever and then didn't leave much of a trace.

It’s the rerun-industrial complex, right? They became a different kind of hit — low peaks, but endless rolling plains.
Good one!
Give me examples! I'm not talking about shows like Freaks and Geeks or My So-Called Life that ran only briefly but are held in high critical esteem. I mean stuff that has worked its way into mass culture--flop shows that people not born when they aired would now know.
Stray thought: I was thinking about how many mid-'60s network series that ran three seasons or less and were objectively not hits are now permanent parts of pop culture: Trek, Addams Family, and to an extent Gilligan's Island, Batman, The Munsters. Did this happen in later decades? I'm blanking. >
I'm hearing a lot from the "Zero followers, joined three hours ago" crowd on this one. I guess it's Field Trip Friday over at X.
Also, it's a joke. That said, if you're arguing that it's not ethical for people to surmise whether they're likely to enjoy a movie, an actor, or a subgenre in advance, I respectfully disagree.
Walker Texas Ranger ran for about 400 years so I assure you I experienced it; there was no way not to. And isn't all taste subjective?
If I had known Chuck Norris was so politically bad, I would have mindfully not watched his movies instead of just never seeing them.
The GOP is a party of hardcore, unrepentant racists who are pushing for voter ID by claiming it is needed in order to prevent voter fraud--which is a decades-long lie that was always intended to lay the groundwork for disenfranchising non-white citizens. There is no nuance; that is all this is.
This is a perfect example of what MAGA does with stuff like this. "Actually, your movie will be fine as long as your distributor's marketing team isn't all white men or you hire a couple of interns" takes 3 seconds to become "The woke Academy wants to kill Forrest Gump." bsky.app/profile/inje...
Sorry to go on about something that, believe me, I am aware is the least of Jeremy Carl's sins, but it was not challenged in the podcast, so...whatever. x
and turn it into some nonsensical fantasy about how great movies about white heroes are being barred from the Oscars so that Sinners can win all the things. The "very few people know this" is perfect MAGA icing: Someone who doesn't know the first thing about this boasting that he did the research. >
I thought the Academy's decision to do this was wrong for many reasons--one being that there are so many loopholes in the rules that the net result would be to put a thumb on the scale not in favor of diversity but in favor of big expensive movies. But it's typical that MAGA-world would grab this >
Yes, a few years ago, the Academy instituted a set of diversity standards that movies had to meet to be eligible for nominations. But the truth is, the requirements can be met so many different ways that not one movie that otherwise might have been nominated--for anything--has been disqualified. >
This is Jeremy Carl, the "What about racism against whites?!" guy who recently had to withdraw from consideration for a State Dept. post because he was too racist even for Republicans, in a podcast with Ross Douthat. He says all kinds of wrong things, but I want to address just one. >
It's the funniest Traitors.
