Reboot Reboot.

ReBoot deserves a reboot

GARGOYLES

White Gen X’er here. Saw this movie Friday night with almost no foreknowledge of it. I enjoyed it and laughed a lot. It follows a lot of the beats of the original very closely although they fear of Tanya being discovered as an underage worker with a fake resume at work is never really there. They focus a lot less on…

“More like ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s DEI, amirite?!’”

even if you weren’t a big fan of Applegate, Married… With Children, or the movie at the time (I wasn’t)

I agree, and in fact I think the series got a lot of unearned attention and respect because the fact that it aired on Max tricked people into thinking it was a classy HBO docuseries like The Jinx and not the middlebrow Investigation Discovery program it actually was.

There were some fairly questionable tactics used by the producers in obtaining interviews for the documentary. I think the bigger problem with that is that when you have three or four genuine ethical issues with what they did, those who are accused of wrong doing have the opportunity to say “well, they did really…

After finally watching Quiet On Set (had put it off for a while due to having to mentally prepare to be icked out), I totally agree with a lot of her points. It touches on some heavy topics but a lot of those heavy topics and stories are buried in cheap schlock which is trying to get you in the headspace of “wow so…

Trauma tourists? From the bastion of honesty that is the Discovery Channel (a David Zaslav joint)? Noooo, ridiculous...

I assume her point is that it slightly helps remind people there are special raised standards to address guns/animals/why-not-children, and that the cast/crew would be reminded just because they’re all doing more or less the same end product and hours, that they need to act accordingly.

Or ever, really.  “People like stupid shit” is a timeless truth.

There were plenty of vapid one-hit wonders and temporary sensations that time forgot because they were ultimately forgettable.

They couldn’t show blood before when it was on Fox

It’s horrible that actors are having to deal with this, and I’m glad to see so that the actor in question is receiving support from her peers. But I’m not sure what any individual or small group of people can do. I do think that there are supportive services like counseling in dealing with this ugly part of social…

Lynch has been obsessing over making a movie where tiny people disappear into the carpet for forty years, as evidenced by this excerpt from his unrealized Dune II script. Wired Magazine recently dug up and reviewed the script treatment David Lynch drafted in 1984, and it’s pretty crazy. I don’t know anything about Snoo…

Here’s the thing: have you ever said you would have loved to attend a friend of a friend of a friend’s birthday party an hour from you after you’d already RSVPd no? That’s essentially what Downey is doing here.

I remember our student teacher read The Indian in the Cupboard to us in 4th grade. He was amazing, he did voices for all the characters, really brought the book to life. And I’m sure there’s plenty of problematic stuff in it in retrospect, but the book at least gave you an inkling that natives aren’t all a monolith,…

the only Indian in the Cupboard i acknowledge is the saag paneer in my pantry ya heard
