Plus he can actually act!

Pedro Pascal has so much goodwill to burn right now, it’s insane. After Fantastic Four, he might be rivaling Tom Hanks.

Why do right wingers never get that one is free to say what they want, the government cannot impression you, BUT you cannot be free of consequences for saying those things in the free market of capitalism and public opinion.

Yeah she’s too dumb to realize she’s not going to win in a star-power fight with Pedro Fucking Pascal.

The “boop/beep” thing was a direct insult to Pedro Pascal, after he put pronouns in his bio as a show of support for his trans sister. Publicly attacking the star of the hugely successful show you somehow landed a part on is exactly the kind of stupid-as-shit career move that leads directly to working for Ben Shapiro.

Yeah I remember that being really the biggest part of all of it. She was super anti-trans and I think Pascal even tried to talk her rationally about it at first, but after repeatedly going down that hole, he definitely went to the Disney powers and said to tell her to get the fuck out

Which isn’t even getting to the biggest part yet: the actual star of the show she appeared in has become a superstar over the course of it, famously has a trans sister whom he truly loves and supports in every way, and presumably told their bosses: “shut her up or get her the fuck off my show.”  And, not being idiots,…

The thing about WW1984 is that it’s bad in such weird, confusing ways I can’t imagine it’s JUST her fault. And knowing what an utter trash fire WB films, and the DCEU in particular, are behind the scenes, I’m not prepared to say “Patty is a bad director because her movie is bewildering nonsense.”

Man, no one will turn on you like IP Franchise Fans. Look, I know Wonder Woman 1984 was pretty bad (FWIW though, I liked things about it, even if the sum is considerably less than its parts), but I still love the first Wonder Woman and Monster. The commentariat OTOH (at least over at io9) seemed pretty happy that…

Is there a good comment thread where we can call out Jim Spanfeller for dismantling G/O Media piece by piece and selling the entire organization for scraps like the vulture capital piece of shit that he is?

Definitely Mario Galaxy, and not just because it’s the picture. It felt like such a huge improvement over Sunshine (which I liked well enough when it came out but really does not hold up). The orchestral music, new characters, motion controls, a genuine story, and levels that all felt very different. (64 and Sunshine…

I like things to be simple. That’s the main reason I like consoles. If I buy a game for an Xbox Series S|X or a PlayStation 5 I know it’s going to work exactly as it should. I don’t have to worry about whether I need to buy a new GPU, if my CPU is going to throttle performance, or if Windows is going to be an asshole…

Same! I think it’s because I was precisely the right age when Hook came out (seven years old). That score is for me quintessential Williams.

No one person in history has done more to expose more people to classical music than John Williams. You may think it might be Mozart or Beethoven, I think it is John Williams. Billions of people have heard his music and unknown numbers of people, moved by his scores, have gone on to love, play and or listen to other…

I still think his score for Superman might be the pinnacle of his work. I also realize we don’t look at it in the same way, but honestly, shouldn’t John Williams be considered one of the greatest composers of all-time? Like, I’m saying, doesn’t he deserve to be put in the conversation with Beethoven and Mozart and the…

It depends heavily on what “gimmick” the 2witch has. Though I’d argue they are in a better position now.

i think access to information is different these days. noone is going into a store for this stuff anymore and getting confused.

We measure time in Jeremy Bearimies around here.

Counterpoint: The Alias one was burnt vegan bacon served on the ass crack of a methhead and ruined a great show.

It was that dot in Jeremy Bearimy that broke them.
