R.I.P. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. No shortage of great roles, including one in the terrific S4 MIAMI VICE episode “The Rising Sun of Death”, in which Vice takes on the Yakuza.

Both series adapt a manga about a bartender named Sasakura Ryu whose observation skills and alcohol-mixing expertise allow him to help customers work through whatever problems plague them by providing them just the right drink.

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

Like seaQuest DSV, this was another show I watched when I was a teen, and I couldn't resist giving its opening narration the Mamdani political sign generator treatment as well.

15% of all phone-based riffs in early ‘90s MST3K had Joel/the bots shouting this, or saying “you’re NOT dealing with AT&T”
the other day, my son called me, and i answered the phone by saying "moolamanaka meeside!" and he went "uhh… what" and i went "uhh… what"
why has this ad been lodged in my head for this long? why? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECuk...
anyway, today i learned he's actually saying "bula vinaka beachside".

Tubi carries Freddy's Nightmares, the type of show that would interest @kennethwreid.bsky.social. I'm not an Elm Street fan. I've seen only 3 Freddy films: Dream Master when I was a kid and both New Nightmare and F. vs. Jason as an adult. But I had to check out on Tubi the Mariska Hargitay episode.

Random observation (& I know how annoying "X is a sign of AI writing!" is)...but based on the hundreds of AI marketing scam emails I've seen recently, "thoughtful" is a fave chatbot response word, as in "thx for your thoughtful response" or "I appreciate your thoughtful email". 1/2

This is not THE Yoko Kanno. The linked NYT piece calls her a 24 year old waitress and back up singer; while in 1997 the Cowboy Bebop composer was 34 and had already been composing for over a decade.

It reminds me of when on King of The Hill Hank tells Bobby after hes joined some Christian skater group/rock band that they’re not making Christianity cool they’re just making rock and roll worse. Calling someone an asshole gets the job done there’s no need to shove in the word waffle or something
