Alternatively, you could make it a kind of modern-day version of Oregon Trail - you play a plague survivor who has to lead a group of survivors from the East Coast to the safety of Boulder.

You could make a reasonably solid RPG out of The Stand (settlement building! crafting!), but at that point you’re really just making another Fallout game. 

I actually wanted to say exactly this. That sort of one-off “reunion special” thing is less popular now than it used to be, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see something like this at some point in the future, probably pegged to another anniversary. A low-stakes one-off thing probably wouldn’t require too much of a time…

There’s a fantastic scene in the otherwise meh Christine where the bully and a few of his lackeys are driving around, and the bully uses a racial slur to refer to a rival school’s star athlete. And one of the other kids eagerly tells a racist joke in order to win the bully’s approval, but the bully immediately…

I gave up watching after the second or third episode when it looked like the show was going to reveal that the gay best friend was the real rapist. I don’t know if the show went in that direction nor do I care

The moment the Patriots won the overtime coin toss I knew how the game was going to end. At a couple points during that drive I almost convinced myself the Chiefs would be able to force a field goal, but I knew that was delusional. The roster of the 2018 Chiefs was constructed with the goal of ensuring the defense…

Fun fact: Tamzin Merchant was originally cast as Daenerys Targaryen. I think they even shot the pilot with her.

Enjoy our unique and vibrant characters: Rycraft Philostrate! Vignette Stonemoss! Absalom Breakspear! Caroline!

I just finished re-reading IT yesterday, and the funny thing about That Scene is I actually do think it’s rather well-written. It’s about the best possible execution of that idea.

“Well, you know which scene I think would really work on screen-”

How does a grown man have such a poorly developed sense of humor?

This game looks really, really interesting, the reviews are great and I’m looking forward to playing it.

It’s a fascinating experiment, but ultimately kind of a shallow experience. Whether or not you call it “good” or “bad” is, of course, intensely subjective - I basically enjoyed it, but my feelings for it don’t go much beyond that.

Samara Weaving, for when you want to cast Margot Robbie but you don’t quite have a Margot Robbie budget. 

Nope, I think you’re right on. The big things won’t change (much), but a lot of the stuff around the big things could be much different.

I forget where in the movie it happens (whether it was pre- or post-breakup), but there’s a scene I think about a lot - Tom and Summer are at a party, and Summer tells her friends that Tom is a really talented architect. And Tom (paraphrased) says, “Yeah, but I decided to write greeting cards, because I wanted to…

There’s a sportswriter named Jerry Sandusky who had a pretty rough time of it on Twitter for a while. 

Honestly, I hated her so much as Zoey that it took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea that she was actually a really good actress.

Someone hired Bob Sutton? Bob Sutton is 90 percent of the reason Patrick Mahomes doesn’t have a Super Bowl ring already. 

Tiffany Haddish’s big breakthrough came when she was about 40 years old, so she’s seizing her chance before Hollywood decides it’s done with the middle-aged black actress.
