I have a good friend who loves grandma’s boy and brings it up sometimes and every time I have to force myself to forget he said anything about it for the sake of our friendship.

True Detective season one writing was better because he all but stole it from a guy who can actually write.

yep. that's not a bad thing though. imo if you steal it from someone else, its only a crime if whatever you make sucks rear end. if it's good, you get a pass. td1 was very good

I've only seen a few episodes of entourage and one of them is that episode where Ralph Maccio is somehow banned from the playboy mansion, but Paulie Shore was the true culprit who should have been banned? it's truly fuckin bizarre poo poo.

I think that's the same ep with Danny Masterson. the guy named Drama (who was considering getting calf implants??) is banned from the mansion and he attempts to convince Ralph Maccio into confessing but Maccio tells him to gently caress off
