This is where I get lost. Who's getting strung up? Whedon, Colbert and Seinfeld are all doing just fine. Some people shouted at them on the internet and a dumb hot-take-craving media sphere penned a few thinkpieces.* Celebrities are constantly getting shouted at on the internet - death threats, you suck, please…
For example, Seinfeld needs to re-examine how hard he takes a few random young people saying something negative about his jokes.
Kids today love Crackle. They can't get enough of uhh Sports Jeopardy?
"Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." - Alexander Stephens, VP of the Confederacy
Budget of 30 million, plus a lot of advertising. Just because you realize your car is about to crash doesn't make it a victory when it's only half-destroyed instead of totaled.
It's possible he and Toretto are huffing Terrigen mists every time they're offscreen.
I like that. Helps mitigate the "Oh they're rebooting that thing already?" factor. Release it on a year the Fast & Furious franchise doesn't have a movie scheduled so we can get our fix of superhumans making cars do insane things.
It's not just one thing. There's definitely TD in there, but also The Wire (Tom Waits season 2 especially) and any number of other prestige dramas with "depressing song and stock footage" openings. Now, if it had used the distinctive silhouettes-with-images-inside-them style that True Detective used, I'd agree it was…
Going by the eligibility of Better Call Saul, Nightingale, etc., I'm guessing this was for the post-Vice season.
Pencils out, scoop troop!
This is the one that drives me crazy: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Something about the way the Emma's face/"What?"/Emma's face chunk at the end is edited for the commercial drives me up a wall. It's like Next Week On Cameron Crowe's Mad Men.
To be fair, his interview did fall on the roughly one week a year he does something legitimately good (in this case, fight the extension of the Patriot Act).
"Why don't you want our soldiers to die and lose limbs and suffer PTSD? Do you just hate the troops?!?"

John Wick came to my mind, since it's the most recent example I've seen.
Those Seinfeld theme covers were a shockingly rich vein of comedy.
Jay Baruchel said of the project "It would have been dark and fairly brutal and quite gory and just f**king epic.” Just because a person who eats garbage throws something out, it doesn't mean it's not just another kind of garbage. Though Miller would have made it very beautiful, well-choreographed garbage.
The script was terrrrrrible. I didn't read the whole thing, but I read enough. Miller would have made it look good, but it needed a major overhaul on the plot/dialogue. It partially suffers from trying to establish the characters all at once, then jumping directly into dismantling them. It's like if Age of Ultron was…
We probably sang it once or twice over a couple decades, but there were a metric ton of hymns we sang more often in the Protestant church I grew up in. The title is super-famous, of course, but in part due to things other than the song (including other media references to the song).
