I may be in a terrible mood.
Just saw a commercial for “In Plain Sight” on USA. This was the annoying/lazy joke they highlighted that demonstrates why I’ll never watch this fucking show.
Guy star: I feel like I’m in a movie.
Lady star: Let me guess, “Clueless”?
Guy star: I was going to say “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Technically, sure “The Taming of the Shrew” was a movie — it was the movie version of the SHAKESPEARE PLAY. So the reason that joke doesn’t quite work is because it’s bent as hell, and the writers should have worked harder to find a different movie, or a different set-up altogether. Aaaarfghrlfrr.
