Fine. Now they need to forget that Melissa McCarthy nonsense and cast the perfect Ursula Disney already put in the part once: Queen Latifah

It wasn’t really about the prestige of the school. The daughters didn’t care about college and wanted to go to Arizona State and party. Daddy was trying to keep them closer to home in LA (and USC is what he attended, though he didn’t bother graduating).

Yes, that’s already noted in the article.

Clicks are clicks.

Oh, Netflix has been doing this ‘data’ release for movies that aren’t just bad?

Correct. Atlanta didn’t air any episodes this past season, so there’s nothing to nominate.

Trank, who hasn’t directed a film since 2015's Fantastic Four reboot,

Yeah, as I understand it, they retooled the Netherworld part. I guess it was a boy band number in previews? Now it’s Kritzer as the movie’s briefly-seen Miss Argentina doing a Latin-flavored number. I’m not sure it did much for the plot, but it worked from a thematic standpoint. The song was my favorite in the show…

I just read Caroline’s thoughts on the musicals in the Twitter thread—having seen Beetlejuice last week, yep, Leslie Kritzer steals the show (and was robbed of a Tony nomination), and the show itself is...not good (which isn’t to say it isn’t entertaining in the moment, mostly due to the commitment of the very…

How could it be Captain Marvel? That movie only came out two months ago—how would they have known the ending was too similar early enough to reshoot the whole thing in August and September of 2018? (Ah, I see from the Yahoo article that they’re speculating Marvel let them see the movie, which...I guess, maybe?)

Nope.

They weren’t given only six episodes. HBO would have been happy for them to make many more episodes. It was Benioff and Weiss who decided Season 7 should be 7 episodes and Season 8 should be 6. They are the only ones to blame for the weaknesses caused by the shorter seasons.

Yes, but that’s mere television. Fabian Wagner shoots like it’s cinema, don’t you know. Soooooo cinematic.

Deathmaster780 is correct. Disney does not own the Fox TV network. They own the version of Fox that produces the show, but the network that will make the renewal decision is still Murdoch’s.

Sadly, that was debunked as photoshopped.

I’m pretty sure that the issue was that the daughters wanted to go to Arizona State and party, and the father was like, hell no, I have to keep them out of there, so I’ll get them into USC. (I don’t know why any other LA area school wouldn’t suffice.)

She seems delightful! Another fun RR read.

Waller-Bridge’s other show, Fleabag, started before Killing Eve (airing its first season in 2016), is based on a play she debuted in 2013 (so material she created herself, rather than an adaptation of someone else’s book, like Killing Eve is), and she’s both the writer of every episode and the star. Was any of that…

As I understand it, she paid someone to change her daughter’s answers after she took it, not take the exam for her (which would make it a lot harder to claim her daughter didn’t know). (She reportedly considered doing it for her other daughter too, but evidently that daughter is the type of student wanted to take the…

To be fair Phoebe Waller-Bridge wasn’t kicked to the curb; she has another show that, by all reports, she’s more invested in, and she remains a producer.
