I am absolutely baffled by her inability to make anything else vaguely interesting in that universe that doesn’t revolve around a wizard Hitler.

I feel like Colbert’s love of Lord of the Rings is normal fandom nerdiness.

I agree and I find the bargaining around the series just to have it around to hold onto kinda...blehhh. It’s wrecked y’all and its fine we had a good run party done turn out the lights. Lets go break bottles in the parking lot until somebody cries about their dad. It’s fine.

I could help to hand it to somebody who at least read the books.

To be fair Roddenberry died and Lucas sold up, highly doubtful the Great Scottish Hater will do either because what else does she have as a steady stream, none of her other books are nearly as popular and are unlikely to ever be.

I mean technically WB owns the rights to Invisibles as well. So theoretically they totally could make movies based on the series.

I think “Great Man Theory” or “Genius” and “Auteur” labels in general is a practice in diminishing returns because so much of success and being prolific is catching a perfect storm or working a proper niche where the most people have digested it. People treat it as a taste making degree through which they can easily…

I think making it into a “franchise” was a mistake and I like the narrative that the complete series is trying to tell. I think unfortunately the artistic flourish of using Kung-Fu and Gun Kata as means of storytelling kinda backfired ultimately because its the only thing most of the mainstream audience sees or cares…

It is way easier I will admit.

Yeah the older I get the more I think advocating for better workers rights in general is the best method moving forward. More parental leave in general, more vacation, and sick leave in general. I think it making about one gender leaves the door open to pit men and women against each other when really its always been…

Arguably “America still doesn’t care about Workers, Women it cares for even less so.”

They could literally be wasting their energy opening housing co-ops for single mothers running daycare centers with apprenticeships from the local high schools and junior colleges because nothing gets you birth control like seeing how hard taking care of a baby is but also it would teach more people child care and…

Epsom salt soaks are a life saver for sure.

100% true on the chasers and those envious of the culture change and even when you go inward into the truscum/transtrender debate it ultimately boils down to...what if we just let people do what they want with their bodies without insisting they have to suffer or go through a checklist of ideals, how about we don’t…

People who advocate for repressive lifestyles always have weird shame kinks and that is why they insist on nobody else living out in the open, free and honestly because it takes some of the grease out of their sicko wheels. It’s the only way they get their jollies and eff that honestly. Be free be honest and be out…

I mean...that’s basically how racism has worked. Like yeah, I’d be scared too if minorities were actually the way the Caucausity Crusaders describe them.

Now now, they might be metal heads or goth you don’t know how black his black friends are. Tut tut.

I jokingly tell people if I’m your only black friend you’re gonna need at least three more black friends, because I’m not a great representative, You’re gonna need more quality data than I’m willing to give right now. Keep going with your collection please, for the sake of mankind.

I think the article writer is trying to imply some folksy wisdom about interracial marriage in here, but like lets be real this dude’s next partner is gonna be white too. So this isn’t a reflective moment for him or anybody really. People gonna do what they do and damn the consequences and some people will think about…

I’m forced to wonder if the fight scenes are so bad because of the bullet time reveal and also to insist on the genre change of this not being a fighting movie but about the other plot stuff. It’s really resistant to being an action movie in the meta stuff too when they’re developing the game version of the sequel.
