Thighs Wide Shut

I don’t believe in Emmys or shammys or whatever, but there’s some amazing stuff going on – on TV (mainly on FX) and I juss have to give them some props de leon…

the Zach Galifianakis rodeo clown show isn’t AS funny as you’d expect/want it to be, but that doesn’t really matter cause Louie Anderson is ridiculously amazing in it, and seriously, when is the last time you gave a flying fcuk about Louie Anderson???  WATCH Baskets, but not necessarily for Galifianakis, who plays Anderson’s twin boys – Chip AND Dale, but momma Anderson.  she loves a good bargain, Arby’s curly fries, the way Dasani water tastes, and CostCo, and we juss love her, and him as her

and bless Galifianakis’ other co-star - Martha Kelly – who plays Galifianakis’ non-love interest/insurance adjuster… Martha.  this woman is a stand-up comic, and this show is her first filmed credit, and she totally goes toe to toe with Galifianakis AND Louie Anderson, as the show’s straightman.  that is truly something!  she is more than truly something!!!

and don’t even get me started on The People vs OJ Simpson.  OK, I’ll get myself started on it.  if there were ever a show that needed all of its episodes released at one time – this would be the one.  Fuller House?  I could wait centuries for the next episode to drop.  The Peeps vs OJ?  I NEED THAT SH!T LIKE YESTERDAY – ALL OF IT!!!  and even though it all actually happened well before yesterday, and we know the outcome, you sit there and watch and go, jesus age christ, we HAVE to get OJ convicted, lets go prosecutors!!!  And even though we know they failed (or that the jury failed us), we are rooting like fcuk for them to somehow win this case we know gets lost!

MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA.  poor Marcia Clark.  her hair and problems and stuff are all being dug-up again for the public to see and pee on, but enuff time has passed, and the way the show presents her – it’s cutting her a break, and I feel so sorry for her (if yer watching, I bet you do too).  in fact, I had trouble sleeping last night, worrying about her and her hair and how she was mocked… 20+ years ago!!!  

humanizing her is THE great Sarah Paulson.  if you’ve been watching her in the American Horror Stories, you know she is THE fcuking best, and THE woman rocking the whole network – a Ms FX if you will.  I CANNOT get enuff of her as her, or her in general!!  

and a thousand zillion wig awards has to go to the dude/dudettes behind recreating these wigs!!!

I mean, I could dedicate a zillion more words and pictures of love for the entire cast – to Travolta’s eyebrows as Shapiro, and Cuba Goodings badding as OJ, and David Shimmer being awesome for once as the only Kardashian that may actually matter, and Nathan Lane playing it straight as F Lee Baily, and Robert Morse as a jolly morose Dominick Dunne, and Bruce Greenwood doing that standard awesome Bruce Greenwood thing he’s doing as Gil Garcetti, and Kenneth Choi BEING Lance Ito and a zillion more actors acting the crap out of their real life roles, but man, outside of Marcia Clark and her hair, it’s really really reealllllllllly all about Sterling K Brown as Christopher Darden vs Courtney B Vance as Johnnie Cochran.  I could watch them bark and bite ALL DAY LONG.  They need a spin-off show where all they do is try to one up each other in court or in smoothness or awesomeness!!

court (of my opinion) adjourned
