Probably many of you. It'll make you mad. It will drive you to the comment section with a fist full of "Hey dumbass, whatabouts?" and "How could you have not watcheds?"</p> <p>Do I care?</p> <p>I do not.</p> <p>I'm not a professional TV critic. I can't get Sam Esmail or Rian Johnson or Tony Gilroy on the blower to get their thoughts on shows they created or just admired. I am just a 'umble watcher of TV shows like yourself, who delights in being ensorcelled by great storytelling wherever I find it, but with a fairly limited amount of time to read/view/listen/appreciate during any given week (You see, I've got this blog. And a couple of podcasts. And a life.) </p> <p>I also know my own taste palette. For example, cilantro tastes like soap to me. You might love it, and god bless you if you do, but to me, it's a big bite of Ivory. In the same spirit, let me confess that <a href="https://crooksandliars.com/2022/10/cls-best-horror-movies-2022">(unlike our own John Amato)</a> I don't much like horror. There are exceptions, but you'll never see me in line waiting for a Saw sequel. I also have very little patience for wealth porn -- especially wealth porn featuring rich assholes doing rich asshole things, which is why you won't find shows like White Lotus or Succession on my list: you might love them, and god bless you if you do, but to me, they taste like big bites of Ivory soap.</p><p><a href="https://crooksandliars.com/2022/12/best-tv-2022" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Best of 2022 Movies tv Wed, 28 Dec 2022 14:11:00 +0000 driftglass 2022 Crookie Good Guy Award: Democratic Strategists https://crooksandliars.com/2022/12/crookie-award-good-guys-democratic-primary <div class="node-media"><img src="https://crooksandliars.com/files/embeds/2022/12/53449.jpg" /></div><p>[Above, never-Trumper Tim Miller from The Bulwark cries foul as Dems invest ads in Republican primaries. -- eds]. </p> <p>Congratulations to those Democratic Strategists who put the panties of everyone to the right of Tim Miller into a twist.</p> <p>For this Good Guy Crookie award, let's you and I turn our attention to a very specific subset of that species of media pundit who specializes in “Scolding Democrats for Not Being Republican-Lite." </p> <p>As some of you probably remember, earlier this year, many Savvy Pundits got all the way up on their high horses to savage <strong>a small number of Democrats for running ads in Republican primaries.<br /> </strong><br /> Ads that were perfectly truthful and said, more or less, “So and so believes crazy things. Forced birth. Everyone should own a bazooka. Etc. And so and so is too conservative for our state.” </p> <p>This was a strategy Claire McCaskill successfully used in Missouri to bring the late Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin to the attention of Missouri Republican primary voters, who loved the madness coming out of his mouth and nominated him, after which McCaskill beat him in the general election.</p> <p>Well, this time around, the idea that a tiny number of Democrats would deploy exactly this strategy for exactly the same reason drove the Savvy Pundits crazy. Which was objectively hilarious, because literally all these ads did was accurately describe Darren Bailey, for example, as the nut job he is. </p><p><a href="https://crooksandliars.com/2022/12/crookie-award-good-guys-democratic-primary" target="_blank">read more</a></p> 2022 Crookie Awards Democrats Republican primaries Tim Miller Election 2014 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 21:00:01 +0000 driftglass Mike’s Blog Round-Up https://crooksandliars.com/2022/12/mike-s-blog-round-15 <div class="node-media"><img src="https://crooksandliars.com/files/embeds/2022/12/53384.jpg" /></div><p>On this date in 2003 James Brown and country music star Loretta Lynn were honoured for their contributions to US culture at the Kennedy Arts Centre in Washington.
