BREAKING: Joe Biden today signed an executive order ending new federal contracts with private prisons.
This is great news, and a reminder of one of my three favorite memories from LEVERAGE (longtime humans know this one, you can skip)
The S2 finale – which would have been a perfectly good series finale – left Nate Ford in the hands of law enforcement. And Portland had this perfectly good empty prison sitting there. So S3 started with an episode about Nate, in prison, discovering a cash-for-inmates scam.
So @Dean_Devlin as was his wont, arranged for the premiere episode to be shown in a proper theater, but party, etc. It was (insanely) shot on 6k, so why not?
At this screening I was sitting next to an older Hollywood agent …
During the screening he leaned over to tease me. “This one is a bit much, isn’t it?”
“No, this one is real,” I whispered back.
He stared at me.
“Except in real life, it was kids.”
A beat, then in full voice, in a crowded theater, he exclaimed “IN AMERICA?!”
Yeah, man. Welcome to the country you don’t know exists, in the dirty little corners of your shining city on the hill.
I don’t think we changed his politics. But we opened up his world a little. So I’ll take that win.
Aperture Science Announcement Voice: “Congratulations, Homosexual! Your existence has been deemed profitable in the following regions: North America, Western Europe, and Australia.”
“To celebrate the occasion we have temporarily recolored all Aperture Science appliances in these regions to your favorite flavor of gay.”
“For further pandering on a wider area please continue fighting for basic human dignities and Aperture Science will be right there to celebrate your victory with you. Afterwards.”
I get recreationally pissed off whenever people say they find Worf boring but im also aware that if they said it to his face he’d just nod and say “Good.”
all your stuffed animals love you. they’re not sad if they’re in a box, or on the floor, or not held/played with as much. they understand. they know that you might need another stuffie more, or that you don’t have enough space. they’re just happy to be with you, and if you ever give them away, they’ll be happy there too. stuffies are for comfort. they understand. they love you too. it’s okay.
