It sounds like there’s a job opening at the White House! If you’re listening, Mr. Trump, I am a big fan and a Republican and a tremendous liar and I would be more than happy to learn your bank account numbers and food allergies in order to better serve you.

Some people just need to distract themselves with a little mindless bullshit while waiting to die.

Forget optimal. Optimizing a cake kind of goes against the whole point of cake, doesn’t it?

He did it in that order specifically so he would have the exact knowledge to create Good Eats. He’d been planning it in its final form for almost a decade.

This is going to be the new “end credits stinger” isn’t it?

Rick and Morty’s Szechuan sauce debacle is somehow still worse than all of these.

Whenever I need to check up on the people from my 20s that I’m no longer facebook friends with, I read Megg and Mogg. I figure it’s pretty accurate.

Fox specifically? No.

I just would have thought that Lumberjanes was the kind of project that would be exactly in Disney’s demographic.

Box Office would suggest yes, and to Disney, BOX OFFICE IS GOD HAIL BOX OFFICE.

Yes, because Disney is well-known for NOT basing its creative decisions entirely on what they think will make the most money from the widest possible market.

Not mentioned by the AV Club: Disney canceled a Lumberjanes movie, fired all of the marketing staff for “Dark Phoenix” and are forcing anyone from Fox who had finished principle photography to re-submit new storyboards for approval before they get any money for reshoots.

That’s because Disney is of the obsessively pandering mindset that all films have to appeal to all people.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of PG-13/R-rated stuff Pixar would be putting out now if THEY hadn’t been acquired by Disney.

I remember Dustin Hoffman getting dogpiled for learning, while making Tootsie, that he was a sexist, and being sexist is wrong. The folks at Jezebel sneered all day long at him being so ashamed of his past behavior that he cried on camera. And I stopped reading Jezebel.

She’s definitely racist.

No, it couldn’t. She made that show when she was at the height of her fame as a cute/dirty comedian, in her 30s. Anyone in her place, with her career at the time, would have done the same thing. Many people did, and still do, even though it’s markedly less amusing nowadays.

I could see this being the beginning of a John Wick spin-off.

Back in the 90s, Disney put out a LOT of live-action family films.

You haven’t met anyone IRL who didn’t click on the show because they weren’t excited to watch it in the first place.
