I never really thought about it but yeah Witwer would make a great Thrawn.

claims Disney is looking for an actor to play Grand Admiral Thrawn in future Star Wars television projects.

I’ve suspected for a long time that there might be an animated or live show about the New Republic that might recycle elements from the Zahn books. (The upside of an animated show, of course, is that you can have the OT cast in it.)

My previous one was pure, he would steal a towel off the rack while I was in the shower, leave it in the living room, and come back and wait for me to get out. He never touched the towel any other time. I’ve never known a dog with a sense of humor before.

That does call into question the roots of true altruism, doesn’t it? Do we do nice, or heroic things for other people because it’s the right thing to do, or do we do those things because they make us feel good or relieve a stressful situation?

“...were trying to reduce their own stress, instead of trying to reduce the stress of their owners...”

I know my old pup would have definitely tried to rescue me but she would have barked at me disapprovingly for getting my damn ass stuck in a box.

They should do this test with cats and see how many of them try to light the box on fire.

Huh! I didn’t know he had a cameo in that. That sounds fun. I’m ridiculously behind on CW’s DC stuff because at this point I’m pretty sure they pump out roughly four new hours of content every single day and have produced more hours of content than hours of effort most people have put into their own marriages.

Lucifer’s cameo in Crisis was just a delightful surprise. I wished it was longer.

Yeah Earth 666 was great. What wasn’t great was the showrunners telling us that it happened in the 5 year period before he met Chloe.  So any thoughts of “oh no he won’t survive!” didn’t really apply. 

Still need to finish it. All of it feels just off, like no one knew what they wanted the show to be. The acting, Ellen Page excluded, is pretty bad too. 

Nope. It was a slog with characters that had more quirks than personality traits and a story that could have been told in a two-hour movie if it didn’t forget to have an ending.

I didn’t hate it. It doesn’t do enough to make it hateable. If anything I was almost impressed by how the showrunners managed to take something so outlandish and make it so soul-crushingly boring and mundane.

I wouldn’t say I hated it, but only because I didn’t watch enough to have that strong an opinion about it. I for sure didn’t like it.

I am not sold on Umbrella Academy but am sort of glad that Ellen Page is getting another shot at being a superhero after she was ideally cast as Kitty Pride & the X-Men movies almost spitefully refused to give her anything to do for reasons that I still can’t grasp

...Bless his heart

Maybe the best thing right now would be for Disney to re-edit New Mutants with new scenes featuring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in which he says “fuck” a lot. Instant R-rated Deadpool 3, ready to go straight to theaters, or Hulu, whichever needs it worse.

Just thinking the other day (because honestly it beats thinking about everything else right now) — what if Tenet has the same basic premise as Butt Boy?
