“Murphy’s struggles parallel Spears’s, right down to the widespread ridicule of her marriage to a grifter and the grotty “I told you so”s that came after Spears’s 2008 and Murphy’s 2009 death”

You should listen to the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast if that’s the magic for you. It’s all great, but one of its segments (it’s done in the style of old-timey radio) is Beyond Belief, a Nick and Nora style married pair of detectives played by Paul F. Tompkins and Paget Brewster doing amazing old-timey…

I’m not in charge of what you pay attention to. I just wanted to say my opinion about Ghostbusters on an article about Ghostbusters. It’s easy enough to avoid if it annoys you so much. 

I’m a guy who liked the lady Ghostbusters and really don’t need this nostalgia buffet. 

As the single longest-running film series in history, I think it’s important to acknowledge that it’s also the one with the least critical consensus. You’ll hear From Russia with Love and Goldfinger widely cited as the best, but one has that awful gypsy camp scene and one has an infamously nonsensical plot (as well as…

Man, imagine thinking you know the point of the game more than the creator of the game.

i actually agreed with him

I mean, I do think it’s possible for creators to lose track of the original themes and strengths of their work. Ray Bradbury has changed his story of what Fahrenheit 451 is about multiple times, for example, and we’ve seen sequels torpedo overarching concepts despite being by the original creator countless times…

Considering Sweeney considers Fortnite a “media platform”, and it’s whole damn thing is collabs (what’s the current one, street fighter?), then of ALL the games that should reach out to a smaller indie dev for a collab vs stealing the ideas wholesale, Fortnite should be that game. Especially when Sweeney says that…

How about Soylent Green and 12 Monkeys. Those are also both way to close to the knuckle at this point.

Rita and Tom were two of the first public faces of Covid; we were all grateful that they both had relatively mild cases, but apparently their good fortune had some sort of weird side effect on their son, who seems to have suffered the brain damage that they avoided.

1. It’s important to note that the only thing they’re refuting is that the profit margin is larger than the original Switch. Bloomberg’s estimates may be accurate, Nintendo’s just saying that’s the profit margin they’ve had all along.

This should’ve been in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with Danny Trejo playing himself with no attempt at de-aging.

As a regrettably very long term member of the outskirts of the fandom, it boils down to him playing the least popular lead and the batshit section of the fandom going full conspiracy mode and blaming him for their disappointment in the finale because his character was centered over Cas who was a) dead at the time and…

It’s “geek fandom on the Internet”.  Why are you expecting nuance?

wendy really did all the straight girl cliche lines when a girl friend comes out:
- am i your type
- would you date me
- did/do you like me
- what if i was gay
- what if i was single

I mean, I get why they didn’t involve him since he already has a show right now, but yeah it seems like he would have appreciated hearing Jensen was developing it instead of being completely left out of the loop. Misha Collins being left out of the loop is even worse IMO because he’s not doing anything major that I’m…

As a fan of the show who watched the entire thing

Wow, you guys are really doubling down on trying to make this huge nothingburger a thing, aren’t you?
