re: Norm. (A new *very* short film that adds a new perspective to his life and death, IMO)

don't know what Norm knew about his health when, no one in the public does, but he chose his words wisely there
He knew he was terminal. His face was bloated and he looks really fragile in the last couple years.
I don't remember which comedian was telling the story but Norm would expound on the lack of dignity people assumed when they revealed their terminal illness for the sake of public sympathy. Even in the OP clip you can see what a different guy he was later in life when he had been through one round but was in remission.
He was always brutal with some parts of his personality. Certain types of bullshite evoked malicious levels of scorn from him. But you can also see a tenderness in him in the last decade before he passed. Just watching the video in the OP gives a glimpse of the softer man that he originally kept hidden from the public eye.

LSU doesn't care about Ole Miss, and hasn't for a few decades now. The only ones that have a burning passion about that game are older than me, and I'm not far from 60.
I think it will be a spicy game this year. If Ole Miss were to win then things get interesting.
The focus on campus is aimed at the teams that are better than you generally. Which, when I was going to LSU grad school, meant Florida and Alabama. Although I will say the Auburn series was fricking amazing. As a transplant to Louisiana I didn't realize that the history with Ole Miss was significant. But it was immediately obvious to me that I should care about Florida, Alabama, and Auburn.
LSU's natural rival was originally Tulane. Which is not really a thing anymore.

Kind of a bold move promising to be at the premiere a year from now when you are 100 years old.
On the other hand if Mel dies they will probably have the astral form of Yogurt attending the premiere.

Nothing would make me happier than Star Wars getting back on track
I'm just pessimistic about Star Wars as long as they are owned by Disney. As soon as they put out something almost good they destroy it in the next movie. Even if it gets purchased by a more careful owner it's damaged goods now.
They've hugely degraded if not destroyed my attachment to the characters. Which is fairly sad when I had such fond memories of the stuff when I was a kid.
The franchise was once uniquely associated with my childhood because I had a childhood friend die of leukemia (before he graduated from elementary school and ROTJ was released) who was the biggest Star Wars fan in our school. Even as special as the franchise was to me I just want it to go away now. I still think about that kid buried with a Luke in one hand and a Han in the other... But it was the boy dead from cancer that remains special, not the franchise (because he would have fricking hated all the new stuff).

Slow down. She looked great especially for her age but no way she compared favorably to her roles in movies like The Rocketeer (or The Hot Spot).
And have people seen how emaciated she's becoming? The cast of Wicked have comparable BMIs. I'm a fan but not of the less than 90 pound JC

I just had the idle thought that someone is going to put Clavicular into an AI version of He-man. And, done well, could be a really funny riff on current popular culture.

re: Disney brings back "ladies & gentlemen, boys and girls" greeting for 1st time since 2021

Smart PR decision
As long as it doesn't start out with ladies & gentlemen, boys and girls and then add MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+
I loved Disney as a kid but don't consider it a family or kid friendly entertainment company. The language is more aligned with undermining the nuclear family.
And the prices for the hotels, theme parks etc are really out of control. The American National Parks are a far better option. Hell, you can vacation overseas comfortably instead of jamming into the park with what looks like a horde of Walmart people dressed up for a tractor pull.

He Man is probably best as a satire or goofy movie. This would be a good property for James Gunn
I think it would be fairly excellent done with the straight man delivery the whole way through. Gunn would be too campy on top of the campy material.
I think if you get everyone delivering the double entendre lines with a straight face it would be funny for adults but taken seriously by the kids.
Characters like Big Uggo, Fisto, Grabber, and Tik Tok seem like child's play to write some Dad Jokes about

re: Bloodletting at Marvel

No doubt there's bloat in a large organization but my perception is the bigger problem is organizational. Not just the messaging and replacement of more loved characters. Also the poor storytelling and too many cooks in the kitchen.
It seems routine for the big Disney (Marvel and other) films to have multiple hundred million dollar budgets and months of reshoots. That's a function of poor planning (or meddling from above).
If you put a competent director and writer in place there will still be editing but you should not be going back to recreate the movie from scratch. Most of the hero themed movies are fairly uniform plots anyway. You aren't making Gone With The Wind.
And yes, just try using the popular characters and let them be heroic.

I don't think anyone who looks like her can really fail to understand that she will get some negative comments about her body when she chooses to put her naked body on television.
The attempt to frame this as a women's issue is especially odious. What do people say about ugly or overweight male celebrities? She's Paul Giammati without the acting ability.
Being a famous person carries some benefits but the absence of nasty personal comments is just not what you get. Much more talented people experience far more unfair criticism even without putting their naked body into the public space.

At first glance the comments about not needing that many jobs seem like sleight of hand statistics. Especially because the labor participation rate is way lower than it should be among groups like men between 18 and 40.
