The happy ending of Sleepless in Seattle isn't that Sam & Annie meet; it's that when they do they've been changed by their Big Lessons (Annie finding her definition of romantic love has changed, Sam as a widower working out if he can have relationships at all & still be a good dad to Jonah). Also,

RE: improv (special interest, definitely not expertise!) You will never be done seeing all the different forms it can take in terms of tone, pacing, genre, format etc. Even if you think you currently have an expansive view of it as an art form, there is always more beyond our scope of what it can be

It's been fascinating to see the variations in people's definitions of who the 'everyone else' they're talking to is when responding to this question

Recently found out there was a Peanuts character called Shermy whom I have no recollection of. Apparently this so-called 'Shermy' has always been there and was in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, as well as many of the early-days Schulz comics. It's become a point of contention in our home

Not a big LatA fan, but I don't know how BBC can see Channel 4's Taskmaster grow and grow, or watch SNL UK lean into its own weird sensibilities and subsequently get renewed for a second season, and not figure out that investing in new comedy voices is a worthwhile thing to do

So glad I will get to experience watching The Odyssey as someone who doesn’t care that it’s a poem or whatever, you won’t catch me caring about its faithfulness, I will simply be whispering to the person next to me “that’s the horse” when the Big Wooden Horse appears

Guys, this place could be so nice if you stop engaging with people with terrible opinions*. They don't want to listen & learn from you and it won't make your day better. I know it's easier said than done *unless they are spreading hate, in which case yes: call them out, report, block in that order

Don't know enough about distribution rights etc to know if they could do this or not, but I feel like it would be a big swing to show this short before Coyote vs Acme cinema screenings. V spooky how much it gets right about LLMs

Oh btw if you can see this, do listen to/give all of your support to It's A Superpower -ironically Sara has quite obviously worked very hard to centre autistic voices to create something *genuinely authentic* (Chuck Lorre could never!) and it sounds like it is going to be such a fun show.
