This person must be FREAKING OUT about Fuller House.

Iannucci said when they were doing ideas for AP movie that he doesn't think Alan should ever make it big and so the Alan in America plot is a no-go (the original plot was he became the host on American Idol or something).

He asked me! I realize most of that stuff wouldn't be possible practically anymore but I really do feel like HBO's making the medium more "cinematic" has ruined so much of what I loved about it in the first place. You would never, ever, ever get a show as spontaneously creative as Dark Shadows anymore. This is a show…

I'll have you know Match Game is for the whole family to enjoy.

Heavily procedural, thought of with only the single upcoming year in mind (at the most), and ridiculously camp. No swearing or excessive violence. No Previously On sequences. Every episode is a perfect first episode, so people will actually start watching the show when they want to instead of pointlessly going back to…

Yeah. It's still listed on it's website somewhere and I refuse to support an organization that is essentially saying "Our medium is terrible". I don't want TV to be like the movies. That's what the movies are for. This exact attitude is why we're stuck in this terrible "Golden Age of TV".

Well, except for Season Four. And a lot of the episodes that aren't imbued in Pop Culture.

I did too and I really did enjoy the usage of the worms because it actually felt like something new and unexpected, if only in some oh-my-god-what-the-fuck-is-happening-this-is-like-a-bad-parody-idea-of-what-middle-earth-is way. The fact they proceeded to just disappear for the remaining two hours delights me no end.

There's a scene where a giant worm bursts from the ground, and they all freak out that the giant worms are about to attack, and the giant worms are never mentioned again. It's amazing.

Which is a pretty irritating mindset that I think will ultimately spell the end of the show (if only for a hiatus, again) because people refuse to accept that you can just start watching a show ten+ years in even if it has no continuity. At some point it'll have to stop gaining new viewers to offset those leaving.

It's an anthology show. What do people expect from it? It'll be very good once or twice a year, average most of the time, and pretty terrible once or twice a year too. That's the only way to watch it. Continuity between episodes is negligible to nonexistant.

I refuse to watch any TV that HBO has ever produced because of their (possibly now former) slogan that implied TV was inherently inferior to film.

They're not exclusive, though! They meet with Purcell and discuss their plans every time they commit to another project. He's an inactive part in the process but he does still care and he's not *obligated* to keep the rights at Telltale out of anything but loyalty (given almost all of the major figures have left since…

He never lost the rights to begin with! No one will do anything with them. Telltale pretty much has a golden oppurtunity for a 25th anniversary single-episode thing last year but chose to keep doing what they're doing and it's doing well for them but it's incredibly upsetting. So much of the staff at Telltale has…

It's actually pretty interesting! Steve Purcell made the comics and got them published but they were never popular but whilst an artist working for Lucasarts started putting them in company holiday cards and in the backgrounds and the like to the point where they became a sort of mascot of them and got their own game,…

To be fair Telltale has been interested in comics since Bone and Sam & Max, both of which were far better comics and games than either this or Walking Dead.

All I can imagine is how nervous Adam Scott must have been as the marketing for Mortdecai ramped up and he realized he would be in the next Johnny Depp film and he would be the one with the mustache.

It was the bit where they're first checking into the hotel and he says "I've got a fucking manservant" (which in the trailer was edited down to "sodding". Like I said it's nothing amazing or especially intelligent but it really was the only joke that connected for a big laugh from the audience.

What, Robbie Amell is saying no to a CW series that doesn't have the clout of Tomorrow People?

Are you sure? There was a report last week saying it was still being considered as The Atom. I'm still hoping, in vain, for Justice Friends
