Totally pointless and a waste of time. In a just world, the plot would have backfired and taken Billy off canvas for a spell. But nope. Just a womp-womp ending to a crap yet overplayed story.

Another gem worth watching: Sidney, Paul Newman, Diahann Carroll, and Joanne Woodward in “Paris Blues”:

They love to get Billy out of his clothes. You’d think he was Malcolm Winters or Brad Carlton.

He was renowned for his regal nature and breaking down barriers, but his sex appeal was really underrated. He could have a very sensual presence. Just part and parcel of his humanity and talent.

The hits just keep coming. One of the most consequential figures of the 20th century.

I don’t know what they’re doing with Devon. It’s one thing to give him a sense of regret, or if they really pushed the idea that Abby and Chance were neglectful parents. (Or if Chance was having PTSD that made him potentially dangerous. They’ve toyed with it.) But this makes him look terrible, and the resulting drama isn’t strong enough to be worth it. The surrogate story has been an albatross for all involved.

It’s too stupid for words. Granted, the whole story was stupid, so it’s a blessing that it’s over, but this is the pattern. Dumb sh!t drawn out, then abandoned. Jason Thompson deserves better because he’s actually doing good work. In service of bullsh!t.

I’m still a Novak fan, and I think there’s a lot of blame to go around here if you dig into the story. This was an avoidable situation in many ways from his end. Right now, it’s become a sideshow and a distraction.

Dafuq was the point of Billy and Lily’s dumb ruse to make Adam think he was drinking and gambling again? He just up and spills the beans?

It felt like yesterday (a year ago when Cloris Leachman passed) you were talking about Texasville.

Great filmmaker. A fantastic 1972 Dick Cavett interview with Peter, Robert Altman, Mel Brooks, and Frank Capra (!) that’s worth watching if you have free time: His already legendary interview with Vulture from 2019:

Nadal and Naomi are back playing this year (big question marks on their conditioning after a long layoff), but yeah.

He needs to muzzle his dad. The whole Djokovic family could do with simply remaining silent. They’d get into far less trouble. Just STFU. They’ve been desperate without Federer, Nadal, and Serena (and Naomi) recently. He’s far less deified than Federer, who at least surrounds himself with smart, image-savvy people. He really needs to break outside his bubble.

Love the suits and suspenders.

According to The Age, those players also had the same exemption but we just didn’t know about it.
