 At least in modern Who the Doctor tends not to sing.
I figured since Corden was already on two episodes of Who he probably wasn't 
going to be the next Doctor.  And yes, I know they made an exception with 
Capaldi.
Also, aren't Daily Mail pieces written with the same amount of journalistic 
rigour as Piers Morgan's work?
Regardless, kudos to Mr. Corden's publicist(s).

Re: [TV orNotTV] Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar rip "Winning Time"

2022-05-01 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV 
 Allegedly this project was either what led to McKay and Will Ferrell breaking 
their professional (and possibly personal) relationship, or the final straw.  
But alas, it has little to do with the veracity of the project but that Ferrell 
wanted to play Jerry Buss.
I recognize it can be ridiculously difficult to leave a field where you've had 
great success, even when it seems you're on the productive downslope, so to 
speak.  But it wouldn't hurt for McKay to go away for a while.

  I'll agree it's fiction, rather than a documentary, but the problem for me is 
less that the Lakers/Celtics game was in February and the second game they 
played than it's utterly baffling what the point McKay wants to make is. If 
he's going to portray the Boston fans as racist assholes, sticking to the 
actual chronology doesn't change that. How does changing that or how the game 
actually ended (on a free throw, basically) enhance the story?
How does making up crap about West and Kareem in the way he does contribute to 
our understanding of them? The former was -- and is -- high-strung, but showing 
him as psychotic is as lazy as having the withdrawn Kareem swear at a child.
Maybe Westhead was under pressure, but to lie about his record going into the 
Boston game and all but say Baylor was being brought in to replace him, rather 
than Riley is, again, sloppy and unnecessary.
As I said, between this and the "LOOK AT HOW FUNNY WE ARE!" tone of "Don't Look 
Up," it's pretty clear McKay has one gear, and he's worn it out.

 I have just watched episodes 5-8, and have to say I am liking it more and 
more. Of course it gets many of the historical details wrong. I believe the 
Lakers and Celtics did play in late December that first year, but that was the 
Forum game Dave mentions the Lakers won handily. The nail biter at the Garden 
was a few weeks later.
But the show is not a documentary, and it is not about getting archival facts 
correct. With all the liberties they took, I thought the episode about that 
first game in the Garden really captured the sense Laker fans had of the deck 
being stacked against them when playing the Celtics, and the role of racism and 
back room business decisions in how the league operated. 
While they probably exaggerated Larry Bird a little, they nailed his basic 
personality and basketball skills exactly. Nothing gets my juices flowing like 
a couple of rounds of a good “Fuck Boston” chant. Though the truth is, if I 
were to make a series about that time one of the main themes would be how I 
went from absolutely hating Larry Bird, and seeing him as an overrated, racist 
asshole, to loving him, for his excellence on the court, his cold hearted trash 
talking, take no shit independence and, most of all, for how he, almost alone 
among basketball stars, stood by Magic Johnson during the most difficult days 
of his life.
I worshipped Chick Hearn, so am not pleased with his depiction, though at the 
time my family and friends always joked about how the role of his Color Man 
(whether Lynn Shackelford, Pat Riley, or Keith Erickson) was to say “Right 
Chick” and then shut up, so I have to admit it’s not unrecognizable.
 I still find the portrayal of West to be mean spirited, but as the show 
progresses they are getting closer to a more accurate depiction of him as 
intense, driven and miserable, not a thin skinned, vain asshole. I really liked 
the scene of West and Magic talking after a regular season loss to Dr J’s 76ers 
(setting up things to come) with West talking about needing to win more than 
needing to be liked. I’m not sure how literal that is, as my memory is Magic 
came into the league with the Will to win, but it makes an important point 
effectively. 

I also like how the show is presenting and preparing the ground for the 
emergence of Pat Riley. Many casual fans probably assumed he was already the 
Head Coach this first year, but his cool, controlled intensity was as much an 
act of self creation as was that of Buss and Magic. I learned to love Phil 
Jackson, and it is hard to argue against him being the best NBA coach of all 
time, but Riles is still my favorite coach, in any sport, as he really knew how 
to treat grown men and elite, skilled athletes with respect for their autonomy, 
while still pushing and shaping them to play as a team.
At the end of the 1970s the NBA was struggling. It had been through a series of 
cocaine scandals, it was seen as too Black to attract big advertisers, and the 
championship series was on tape delay at 11:30 pm in Los Angeles. A handful of 
players, owners and league executives intentionally transformed it into 
something else, compromised by but not completely submitting too the dominant 
institutional and street racism of the day. And Magic invented a way of playing
