This ties into something that a lot of people don't actually realize, a personal will is a incredibly weak legal document in many jurisdictions that only carries weight until somebody contests it. Lets say you are a perfectly mentally competent person but decide to leave your entire multi-million dollar fortune in a trust to take care of your poodle should you pass away because you don't particularly like your family. Your family can absolutely contest that decision, they don't even have to prove you were incompetent in any way, they can just say "its dumb to use all this money to care for a poodle, we are their kids, we want the money" and if a judge finds this to be a reasonable assertion they can just override your wishes. Any respect given to your wishes after you die are either due to the niceties of your family and friends respecting those wishes, or a judge deciding they are reasonable to follow.

The story as Clayne Crawford tells it was that Damon Wayans didn't want to be on the show. He took the job as part of a bigger deal to get his own project financed, but when Lethal Weapon turned out to actually be good he started phoning it in and being really difficult to work with because he was pissed that he was stuck on the project. Eventually it all came to a head with a huge fight between Crawford and Wayans on a difficult shooting location with Crafword getting the boot as he was the less known name attached to the show, but all that did was sink season 2 because Wayans was still there not giving a fuck.

That was one of my favorite episodes in Strange New Worlds. I think it was maybe the one episode that was trying to stretch beyond the sort of usual Star Trek plots. As good as season 1 was I'm crossing my fingers that in season 2 they take a few more risks in the stories they tell and maybe end up with one or two new classic episodes.

I was thinking it sounded like 'Bull' or 'Lie To Me'.

I have always thought the whole glass elevator phenomena is kinda weirdly anti-sexist in a way and I'm not sure how you resolve it. I don't think boards of struggling companies are looking to screw over a female exec when they hire her, I think what they are doing is scrambling to try and change up the dynamic of the company's leadership in a positive way, but more often than not a company that is struggling is already on an inevitable path to failure. I think the bigger question/issue is why aren't these big companies ever looking to make these positive/diverse hirings even during the good times?

After watching this I really want to see a James Gunn directed Muppet Movie. Muppet Justice League when?

Suspiria was great, horror isn't really my genre, but I gave it a try after X

I'm kinda embarrassed that when I saw her name and saw that she was starring in this kinda exploitation flick like "X" I just assumed she was a pornstar turned actress like Sasha Grey...

Remember when they encountered a random demon for the first time on the airplane and it was one of the most threatening monsters they faced that season, and then by the mid-late seasons demons were the biggest mook monster in the setting, getting ganked right and left.

The one thing that I think sets Clarkson's Farm apart is that there are moments where it breaks from the scripted "reality" format and we actually get some genuine feelings from Clarkson.

Well the answer to that I think is that stories of these animals with trusts set up in wills are mostly apocryphal, though you could set up a trust while you were still alive if you had the cash and bypass the whole process.
