With DC's Agents of Shield Legend's of Tomorrow being such a disappointment, I'm no longer as excited by The Defenders as I used to be. Superhero are apparently very difficult to pull off.

I think the visual style borrows a bit too much from Traffic to get the nod (made more conspicuous by Benico's presence in both movies).

They know they're executive producers on every episode of the TV show, right?

"Cashing in" is a complicated proposition with Netflix, but I highly doubt that it's attributing any significant portion of its subscription revenue to the resuscitation of cult favourites that couldn't find a home anywhere on conventional TV. Just ask Yahoo Screen how that worked out (even though Community was far

You mean the main plot?

Was it just the number 42 (painted in urine)?

Hear that guys? Chris Carter hasn't written any scripts yet. Quick! Bring the show back now, before he has time!

The private right of action (for individuals to sue evil spammers) comes into effect in July 2017. But you can already complain to the CRTC, and the CRTC can already impose fines of up to $1 million (for individuals) or $10 million (for corporations) PER violation of the legislation.

Opt-outs are actually an American thing. In Canada, they're no longer allowed to send you "commercial" emails in the first place unless you've opted-in (an unpopular rule widely ignored by businesses, despite potentially enormous fines). It doesn't exclusively apply to "mailing lists", but it does have to be a

Hedley's lead singer also came out of that crappy knockoff reality show. I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Canadian content requirements mean that the Amazing Race Canada has to actually be about Canada, the premise of Amazing Race (travelling to exotic foreign locales) be damned.

And what if I was trying to avoid Guy Fieri?

Her pom poms are hardly a detriment, but nothing extraordinary. Her eyes are in a league of their own. The only other person I can think of who maybe comes close is Olivia Wilde.

I bet there must be some celebrities in our midst. But the only way to know for sure is to insult all of them and see who gets defensive.

When you're doing 5 hours of content per week there's just no way that it won't be fluffy. And the Colbert Report is a hard standard to live up to, because it was so incredibly dense with really good jokes. And a big part of that was that he did the interviews in character, which gave them an added layer of humour and

I liked this movie. In particular, every scene with Alexandra Daddario. She's middling as an actress, but has criminally sexy eyes.

@Ricky Coogan's relative?

You figure someone like that would have jumped at the opportunity to be interviewed, if TMZ had just asked. Then again, maybe they did, and just staged the interview chasing him down the street to stay on-brand.

What bland line delivery. Can't Dolph Lundgren at least fake a funny accent? It helps to disguise the terrible acting.

Spreading the collection of the team over multiple episodes would have been much better, I agree. A great moment in ensemble stories (especially of the hero variety) is when everyone that you've gotten to know individually finally gets in the same room, and on the same side. With the right build up, that can be a
