Wouldn't

Bit o' French toast in there as well. Why the fuck do Americans like French toast so much? Even the French aren't that arsed about it. It's eggy bread with sugar. Eggy bread for people who are too childish for eggy bread.

I don't like real french toast much but those frozen sticks are a great way to consume pancake syrup without resorting to drinking it straight out of Mrs Butterworth's head.

Some slightly spoilery news: It looks like the BCS film crew has been spotted at the location of Saul's strip-mall office, preparing it to look as it did in BrBa:

No sightings of the inflatable Statue of Liberty have been reported yet.

Good instagram account if you like this sort of thing:

Right now I’m rewatching BB with my wife, who’s seeing it for the first time and is hooked. Coupla days over the weekend, we cleared six large, yo. I mean, that is to say, we watched six episodes... Bitch!

She’s taken to it much more than I expected. So I’m really unsure how she’ll find BCS. Our eldest also binged BB recently but couldn’t get into BCS at all, she said she found it really boring. And I think we all admit, it did start pretty slow. How can I sell it to them?

[Blue Jam]

Heh, it's the other way round in our house. Mr Jam finds BB "a bit laboured" and BCS "a much wittier show". And I agree with him!

Do your family like Mr. Show or Spinal Tap? Or The Big Lebowski? Mr Jam also reckons the humour in BCS is "very Big Lebowski" and I agree with him there too.

For me it also helps that the overall premise of BCS isn't utterly ludicrous and that the main character isn't a pathologically prideful sociopath, and that all the other characters are actually properly fleshed out and complex and have more than a single character trait like just really really liking breakfast (for example). Those arguments probably aren't going to convince BB-preferers though.

I had respect for you before this post. Fucking disgrace.

Funnily enough, my wife has never seen The Big Lebowski. No, I don’t know how this could have happened either. I am going to have very strong words with the intermediary who arranged our marriage.

[Blue Jam]

Mr Jam's favourite film is The Big Lebowski. I chose well.

Gonna watch The Jesus Rolls soon. It might be terrible but I don't care, it has to be done.

Seen this?

Heheheh ;) Don't get me wrong, I like BrBa (and I'm actually halfway through a rewatch myself right now) but it is daft. Quite enjoyably and wonderfully daft I'll grant you.

Rhea Seehorn is in new haunted house flick Things Heard & Seen, streaming on Netflix a week from now:

Not a big horror fan, might watch to see The Horn doing her thing though. Hopefully this is the start of her getting cast in lots and lots and lots of things.

Racy's going to be the baddie, isn't she?

Another very spoilery pic from filming:

Tharrr she blows! Also is that Lavell Crawford plus the white Cadillac out in front?
