I will forever be confused about tv adaptions of anything (games, books etc) not following the original plot, given that the reason (usually) the tv adaption is being made in the first place is due to the widespread popularity of the original plot.

Well, you gave it your best shot. Not everyone is prepared to embrace greatness when it arrives.

Almost 70% of Americans vote. Almost everybody you have ever heard complain about politics is complaining because they were forced to vote for some psychopath.

Ignoring Trump is his kryptonite. But corporate media is going to platform him to get right-wing viewership numbers anyway. The only useful thing ever done to counter this was the live fact-checking that CNN gave up once Trump agreed to do a Town Hall with them.

No one has AppleTV+ unless it comes free with their internet subscription.

Tiny Tina’s 12 in Borderlands 2, Ashly Burch is in her mid-30's.

Now the CEO of Atlas Corporation, who was previously unnamed before Rhys took over, is named Mr. Atlas!

Of course, this is just one image from a larger film and this screenshot might not be representative of what the finished film looks like, but right now this looks like a pre-recorded SNL parody that we’d cover the following Monday.

Tenet is evidence that Christopher Nolan doesn’t want to be a no-fun filmmaker but still has a long way to go.

GI Joe the Movie was so much nonsense, but Transformers the Movie was a masterpiece.

Eventually they released them together on VHS. Masterfully homaged with Wayne’s World.

Half of True Detective’s appeal was the idea that there was always something deeper and weirder to the mythos.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those background connections are why they don’t want you turning off your apps. Who knows what telemetry they’re running passively that they don’t want you interfering with?

In the book, it’s not MILITARY service that makes a citizen, but CIVIL service.
