1. That baby is forking adorable and I’ll take 100.

I watched that second Fantastic Beasts movie, but for the life of me I can't remember a damn thing that happened in it. Was there a part with a train, or am I thinking of something else?

The problem wasn’t how it ended, it was the execution (which was rushed and perfunctory).

Sweet baby Jeebus. There are actual D&D apologists. What a time to be alive. 

I think it goes pretty far beyond “they made a bad pilot”. Yes, the end product was good once they got up and running, but let’s not kid ourselves about who all contributes to making a show like that successful. Game of Thrones became the phenomenon it was because it was based on a good story (thanks GRRM). It had…

So we got a GOT season 8 with all of the quality of a term paper written the night before it was due after some binge drinking for no reason at all? 

“Of course, Benioff and Weiss were the brains behind not just Game of Thrones,”

Now we just need an official official cancellation of the Confederacy project which frankly after reading the other article about how they had no plan for GoT makes complete sense. 

This is a good development

THANK THE FUCKING LORD

Honestly, none of that is particularly surprising to me, especially the part about not understanding the characters or their motivations.

When she moves her head a certain way they start shaking and it's mesmerizing. In my mind her bangs sound like maracas.

Finding a forward thinking director, always good and stuff.
I just wish people would stop trying to adapt and rewrite stories that have sensitive issues (racism, religious, homophobia, xenophobia, tranphobia and so on) to fit modern values and would instead give space to NEW THINGS being written and made by people in…

No love for my girl Jadis?

1. ACAB

Grimdark superhero stuff based on an Alan Moore property that Alan Moore has no involvement in? What could go wrong (he says for the thousandth time since first hearing of this terrible idea ...)? Wait was it a toss up between this and that terrific idea for a show about the confederacy winning the civil war? Is it…

“Bad apples.”

Reading this helps put this show into context in a way the trailers haven’t. Also I’m not sure that Watchmen is the best universe to set this in. Having a show that examines police vs racism vs terrorists should be a spiritual successor to something like the Wire not a sequel to a comic that featured a blue naked…
