There’s an entire show about Hawkeye feeling sad because he went on a mass murdering rampage that one time and this is the hill you’re dying on?

I was curious what the reshoots were for this show before it started, and the moment I got five minutes in I thought, “Oh... okay, it’ll be really obvious what Marvel demanded the show redo.”

Final Fantasy XV is the reason I couldn’t finish Final Fantasy XV. I played through all the driving, took the speedboat to the train, watched a bunch of cutscenes that were little more than clips from some Neflix movie I had no interest in watching, and they used that as a shortcut to get around dragging the story…

“The Drunk Daughter of Rob Schneider Ruined Dolly Parton’s Birthday Party” is probably an inaccurate description of how little Dolly would care but is still the funniest headline I’ve seen about this so far.

That’s not how quotes work.

Also, following up, Warner Bros. likely pulled the same move on Ray Fisher and Kiersey Clemmons years ago by floating an anonymous rumor to The Hollywood Reporter to distract from racism accusations against Joss Whedon and Geoff Johns. They claimed Fisher got Clemmons’s scenes cut from Justice League (...uh...how?),…

The problem is that Oprah also complained about the problems on set weeks ago (as did other actors), but the story circled right back around to trying to make it Oprah versus Taraji instead of Oprah and Taraji versus the studio even after Oprah and Taraji debunked it over a month ago.

To be fair, only 20 million Gamecubes were sold. And as one of those people who owned one of those few Gamecubes, I had no idea this was a thing and appreciate it.

The funny thing is, so much of this show is material directly from the novels. It’s probably relying more on the novels than anything else. The departure is Master Chief, who in the game is just a cipher for the player and has pretty much no personality other than stoically dutiful.

As an American, I’m sympathetic to the emotional shock of the unexpected use of two words you have only ever been taught apply to a very specific temporal and geographic history because your schooling is limited to a very specific temporal and geographic history.

I know someone who works for Apple and he claims Netflix is the one not wanting to play ball.

50 years isn’t old when it comes to film.

I think HBO Max has a TCM channel dedicated to old movies as well. I’ve never dug into it.

Considering most of what we think of when we imagine Sherlock Holmes (curved pipe, deerstalker hat, “Elementary, my dear Watson,”) is stuff added to him AFTER he entered the public domain, I’m going to disagree.

The problem is that Netflix is the best streaming service and no one wants to concede the point. They’re like McDonald’s if McDonald’s served 3 star Michelin filet mignon for the same price as a flurry.

Because utilitarianism is valid actually but lots of people don’t want to admit it because it means one day someone or something they’re emotionally attached to might be sacrificed for some larger number of equally important people or things.

“Are you paying if you don’t know you’re paying?” -- Amazon CEO.

“Wait a second, how did—”

It’s actually quite clever. AMD fooled everyone into watching a soap opera by throwing in zombies.

The idea that nepo babies would refuse to write an ending where inherited authoritarian power in and of itself is the problem is the most coherent thing about their run, to be honest.
