Glad to hear this. The way they railroaded this poor young man was… fairly typical.

How much did that Marco Polo series cost per episode? Because, unlike this, I never even gave that a thought.

I'm going to give it a shot. I am encouraged by the fact that, unlike Vinyl, it does not appear to be just using the music-biz milieu as just a backdrop for a retread of TV-antihero tropes.

Yesterday, I read a punishingly long dissection of current TV dramas on the Vulture site. The writer was down on this season of Mr. Robot, to the point that he was comparing these extended episodes to the last season of Sons of Anarchy. Esmail may be self-indulgent, but he has not surrendered to the repetitive macho…

What the hell did Elliot mumble to Robot, as he embraced him near the end of the episode? I couldn't make it out. And when I switched to the closed-caption, as I often do, to read it, the line was shrunken and mashed into an illegible font. Thanks, Sam.

I, for one, am perfectly fine with truncating, or even eliminating, Captain Marvel's origin in her movie. At this point, there is little that is more tiring than sitting through the first hour of a new superhero movie, where those boring old origin story tropes are wheeled out again and again. If I ever have to see…

Well, the fact that Rachel even approached them with those insincere apologies after that night blew my mind.

These people act like they have no one to answer to, when, in fact, the truth is the complete opposite of that. Would any network allow a show that goes off the rails as often as Everlasting, with such potential for civil and criminal blowback, to continue with no oversight? On just Quinn or Coleman's word? You…

I remain astounded by Rachel and Quinn's ability to just have people locked away at will. "Take her away, boys." Donald Trump has run for President to have that much power.

Did you think this show, with its assumed budget, was gonna pay to stunt-crash a high-end automobile? Not bloody likely.

In the comics, writers never got tired of having villains try to find ways to kill Cage. They burned him, sunk him to the bottom of the Hudson, tied him to subway tracks, for goodness' sake. During the 70's, writer Don McGregor loved these cliffhangers. I hope that tradition continues.

And Alec Baldwin keeps breaking his nose, hoping for a sequel to the Shadow.

She's certainly funnier and looser off the cuff than in scripted skits.

That was an obviously snarky response to the persistent criticism of HBO's unequal depiction of male and female nudity. Like the strippers on Ballers that immediately followed.

While I agree that Suicide Squad wasn't that good, it was far from the worst movie of the year. Mainly, it served as Superhero Backlash's Target of Convenience.

Despite my immediate revulsion to Leto's Angry Pimp take on the Joker, I would still cast my vote for him to appear in a future Batman movie. I can't wait to see this guy punched repeatedly in the face, by Batman or anyone else.

Absolutely. I wanna say, Natalie Portman bailed out as Jane Foster at the exact wrong time. She could have been Thor, too.

You're preaching to the choir, my friend.

A fatal flaw with these movies is their frantic urge to copy successful Marvel movies. Suicide Squad only got greenlighted because of the success of GotG's obscure characters, to begin with. Then, early this year, Deadpool's R-rated violent absurdity made money, and they decided they wanted a piece of that. That…

Jennifer Garner seems to be on a continuing quest to show us all that Ben Affleck isn't the worst thing that ever happened to her.
