If you’ve read the story that Montanez has been telling, that’s absolutely not what happened.

I get the interest in the content library, but I don’t know if Apple wants to take on terrestrial TV channels, which is pretty far out from what they’ve done before.

The noteworthy thing about Harry Potter’s split is that it takes one book and turns it into two movies. The Matrix sequels were always written to be two movies. The former matters because it kicked off a trend of stretching popular source material, often thinning out a story and breaking it’s narrative flow.

Marvel certainly followed its lead—introducing screen adaptations of beloved print characters, building them slowly over multiple movies, bringing everything to the big climax that dominates all its theatrical rivals.

How is the Matrix different from the original Star Wars trilogy? Harry Potter was one book split into to, the Matrix was just two movies.

The Gone Girl knock off genre is one where you can really tell that these books are being written/bought based on premise by writers who know publishers will buy them.

I ate a ton of Honey Buns and Big Texas’s. I feel like I must have barely made it in under the wire for those to be around.

Seems hard to make an enjoyable comedy about a sexual predator and animal abuser.

I’m supposed to be excited to hear from Malala about why she liked friends? That seems like the worst use of both HBO Max and Malala’s time.

Guest stars include David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Elliott Gould, Kit Harington, Larry Hankin, Mindy Kaling, Thomas Lennon, Christina Pickles, Tom Selleck, James Michael Tyler, Maggie Wheeler, Reese Witherspoon and Malala Yousafzai.

I mean, Kim being on reality shows is objectively a smart move for her.

Yeah, but you’re an actor, you sort of need a show to be not forgotten in order to not get cancelled and make money in reruns. You don’t need the show to be good.

characters act moronic and inappropriate and get into ridiculous situations just like on Curb sitcoms.

Yeah, that’s the slight overlap, but tonally it’s completely off and the family dynamics/message couldn’t be more different.

Schitt’s Creek gets lots of acclaim but it is nothing but Curb Your Enthusiasm + Arrested Development

But James Gunn has faced no actual consequences from that joke! You’re mad that someone else is using their speech to be mad at something you don’t think they should be mad at! That’s fine!

This is like a doctor suing another doctor, then asks a third doctor as a witness, and wants them to reveal their unique surgical techniques.

I mean, it would be like asking a medical expert to produce their data, which is how it works...

I don’t think that applies to Apatow though, his movies have that warmth.

I’m guessing this is a Marvel take, but it implies that Marvel movies are human enough to have raunch or vulgarity.
