As Spiderman showed, adult fans will literally risk their health to see a big Marvel release. However, Pixar’s audience is families that, more often than not, have kids. A lot of which are too young to be vaccinated. Affording to bring a family to the movies is already expensive enough and you want to combine that…

So I wonder if that’s just Disney again surmising that the animated medium for whatever reason isn’t breaking out right now like more four-quadrant live-action fare

Klaudia Amenábar talked about how Red’s jump to D+ is a net positive, especially because it keeps kids and disabled people safe.

I appreciate the context as I was not aware of it and it’s not provided in the article. I gotta ask, though - why are you indifferent to the sentence?

No one is arguing he doesn’t have time to serve. He panicked. He fucked up.

Couch was a minor sentenced by a Judge at a hearing, there was no jury trial. It was a horrible outcome, but it was a shitty judge. 

They suspect she did that. They don’t actually know that she did or not.

was the disclosure that Netflix had paid Chappelle $24.1 million for The Closer

Maggie and Child Hershel were wandering alone and practically starving. They came upon a man with a cart full of goods that he claimed were for his daughters who invited Maggie back to his homestead. Maggie knew he was lying but followed him home, anyway.

So, for those of us following along--and I mean this 100% earnestly--what was Maggie’s story?

I think the graphic novel has a clarity of purpose, but I also think it doesn’t have much to say. Which is frustrating because, again, it’s a banger of a premise.

I also tend to agree that the graphic novel is sorta leaden, in part because it doesn’t do anything but straightforwardly play out the premise.

Thanks for the update. That’s funny that they consider the story to be a fable when it doesn’t have a point or moral. It’s even funnier that they actually included a pretty good fable about living your life and not spending it avoiding death right before the end.

The premise is intriguing and some of the horrors are genuinely terrifying, but the story plays out its cards/concept early on and from that moment to the end

That’s the thing though, I’m fine without an explanation wrapped up in a shiny pretty bow. But if you’re going to drag out a story where ultimately I’m just watching people suffer for the majority of ~117 pages, I’m going to need more than a “fin” at the end to feel satisfied.

Scary or focused is not how I would describe that story. It’s just there. You live, can’t stop time and then die.

I mean, that’s also life. The scary part about this beach is it happens much faster than anyone is prepared for.

Ha! Scary or focused is not how I would describe that story. It’s just there. You live, can’t stop time and then die.

At the core of Old are those mysteries: Why these people, why this place, and can they escape?

It really annoys me how many people misinterpreted that. I wasn’t a huge fan of the show, but it was crystal clear to me in the last episode that they were dead in the flash-sideways, and that the whole island experience was real. Not sure how everyone else apparently missed that.
