You know, that’s my biggest problem with Dreamland - not only did I not get invested in it emotionally, there’s no way I ever could have, since within the show’s own narrative none of it is real. There are no stakes, there can be no consequences, none of it matters.

Exactly. The issue isn’t losing the cold war spoof, it’s losing all the character and relationship development that went with it.

Right? I like watching movies but have absolutely had it with the cinema experience - better to wait til I can watch it in comfort at home.

Yeah, this “stand through the whole set” crap is why I never go to live music shows anymore. I don’t understand it, and it ruins every event that falls prey to it.

In my experience, raising a show from the dead is a lot like raising a corpse from the dead. Wait too long, and you’re not going to like what comes out of the ground.

The second one. Also-rans never work, and this is the biggest, priciest also-ran in history.

All the unprompted Jerry abuse (and mind you, some of it was justified, but a lot of it wasn’t) was the one thing I didn’t like about Parks and Rec.

Right? For god’s sake, they kept the part of the mural they removed? That’s about as respectful as anyone can reasonably be under the circumstances.

Finally decided to cancel this month - based on these renewals I’m very comfortable with my choice.

No, he appears to be a genuine psychopath. Even better, presumably he’s an armed psychopath.

Palahniuk himself has said (publicly, many times) that he likes the movie better.

Wow. I need to wrap up my viewing of Jess Jones season 2 so I can cancel this turkey - it’s well past time.

Animals don’t trigger asthma absent an allergic reaction, smoke does. At best you are inconsiderate, at worst you trigger potentially lethal respiratory reactions. That you lack the basic human empathy to give a shit says everything I need to know about you.

A 12 to 43% increase isn’t “stastically significant” enough for you? Is that a joke? This is to say nothing of all the innocent bystanders with asthma or other respiratory issues...

I’m 39 and, seriously, haven’t looked at my phone in 4 days. To each their own.

I assure you, right wing media isn’t the least bit bothered by a protest whose only function is to inconvenience teachers and disrupt the education of these students. The right wing hates education almost as much as they love guns, after all.

Theatrical films need to reintroduce the idea of an intermission. This was always a good idea, it remains a good idea.

Any article like this should really include the fact that Amazon is headquartered in Luxembourg specifically to dodge U.S. taxes. It also can’t be emphasized enough how badly they abuse their employees.

When they announced this movie I said “that novel can’t be adapted.” Everything I’ve read about this film has only served to confirm that initial reaction.

Hulu definitely has all the Disney and Cartoon Network stuff - one of the first things I did when I started a subscription was (finally) watch Gravity Falls.
