"Inert" seems to be the operative term for the series anymore; another problem is that the writing takes leaps in the story that insists the viewer keep up, except we're left with obtuse dialogue and poorly-conceived exposition. It's written into a corner, and rather than try to write their way out and back, they're…

Right, I know, just saying that Godzilla is on a roll and the trajectory of that universe is a lot better than the Monsterverse (though as critically panned as it has been, the Mummy is already having a good weekend box office, considering that it was talked of being a dud like Dracula).

That's a safe bet. Between Godzilla 2014 and Shin Godzilla (which was fairly awesome), WB is on the right track.

Fun little story about Montalban: at the time he was cast to reprise his role as Khan, he was nearing 62; when he showed up in costume, an executive at Paramount (who had expressed skepticism about hiring a senior citizen for an action-oriented villain) made a comment about how the makeup/SFX team did a phenomenal job…

Oooooh, that's a problematic review ;)

On ATC a couple of weeks ago, they had a piece about a high school in Michigan essentially glomming onto 13 by calling it "13 Reasons Why Not" (which anytime you immediately have to give context to it, so that they actually DON'T want students to commit suicide, you've got some problems). It reeked of well-meaning…

There was a tremendous amount of hurt in the article- Narisetti comes off as a clueless jackass (since everything he did at the WaPo and WSJ was so awesome), while the anonymous comments about past and present Giz writers is so much complaining about editorial decisions (since the adults weren't left in charge the…

THANK YOU. There was a circuitous article the other day on Business Insider about how the writers in Gizmodo Media are whining about how things weren't as great as before (which is sorta why Gawker got leg dropped by Thiel and Hogan in the first place), and they buried the lede on saying Disqus (which is NOT a…

I think that with so many platforms- Facebook Live, Twitter, etc.,— coupled with the instantaneous reactions that happen on the Internet, with a strong dash of institutional oppression, it's not out of the ordinary in this day and age. That being said, I would agree that there might be a script cheat in there, and…

How many people got up in arms over United Airlines kicking off the doctor? How many people were able to see things via Twitter, Reddit, and Buzzfeed almost instantaneously? That detail was actually not too far off.

They keep a bunch of Sea Org cadets on-hand for organ donations, just in case.

You shut your whore mouth about my moonshine!

Oh sure "Perfectly safe to drink"

Yes, most definitely worse.

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME IT'S NOT WHISKEY IT'S SCHNAPPS GOD

Seinfeld

Ohhh, you would've loved him in Boardwalk Empire then.

Nah, she needed to be called on her shit- and Don wasn't being condescending at all; he's an eternal optimist, and if the legacy he leaves is that of someone who hasn't destroyed his soul- or the lives of those around him- that is a pretty good way to go.

That's interesting, indeed. Deadspin is such an echo chamber in the comments anymore (and that could also be by design, since Kinja is still a thing, and the site seems to patrol it ruthlessly) that any sense of back-and-forth is pretty much null.

Nah, AVC is owned by Gizmodo, who also owns Deadspin, and those guys are totally ghosting the Ringer. It's a tremendously stupid yet vividly entertaining media feud.
