“Shutdown” is a noun, as in, “There has been a shutdown at the studio that makes Daredevil.”

“Shut down” is a phrasal verb, as in, “Studios shut down Daredevil and Penguin shows until the writers strike is over.”

Just in case anyone was interested.

The fact that there were only 9 episodes this season and 10 in the first suggests this was always the plan and they're just trying to maintain interest between seasons (not a complaint, I very much enjoy this show).

I used to live just up the road from it, and for the year I lived there I used to walk by it all the time, but just never got around to going in (and I actually love art museums).

You do understand there are other movies that are made, right? Like, just this weekend, I went to the theater to see Almodvar’s new short film about gay lovers in the Old West. That wasn’t made to make money; it was made because movies are art. There are hundreds if not thousands of artistically fulfilling films…

“The point of movies is to make money” is honestly the bleakest thing someone could write.

I’m pretty sure if the DGA goes on strike, that means even stuff like reality TV will have to shut down, right?

Precisely correct. This is how corporations have built disgusting profits while workers have seen their wages decline. They’ve convinced rubes like this that “unions” are evil, faceless machines, and therefore any fight between corporations and unions is just Godzilla versus King Kong.

You’re not a bright person, are you?

If you read this one poorly written article that was clearly designed to gin up controversy out of none, and that makes you less sympathetic to the writers' just cause, methinks you were never really on their side.

Always stand with the Writers Guild.

Yeah, if you came away from that monologue thinking anything but "That guy's brain is too fried by weed to take seriously" then you're probably an easy mark.

How am I the first commentator pointing out the typo in the headline?

Them not letting you jerk it in a Victoria's Secret is just further evidence that the Woke Mind Virus is taking over.

“And what’s happened...is that there are people who aren’t funny, or content that is just offensive.”

Obviously this is a state-by-state thing, and I know nothing about Ohio’s specific laws, but presumably if you can legally justify a “Stand your ground” law that allows you to shoot anyone who enters your home, then filming intruders who enter your home and releasing that footage should be even more protected.

But, of…

His high note was the 1996 masterpiece Twister.

Finally catching up with Atlanta (season 3 at the moment), and it just makes me want to watch anything with LaKeith Stanfield in it. Don’t imagine I’d go to theaters for this one, but can see it being a fun at-home watch at some point.

To be clear, you guys posted two different articles just to announce a (admittedly great) trailer, and the focus of this one is the writer’s imagined “homoerotic tension.” Truly, content for the ages.

Yeesh, that opening monologue was bad. "Haha, weed" is a pretty flimsy thing to build anything on, let alone a 6-minute monologue.
