Reminds me of the old joke about the aspiring actress who was so dumb she fucked the writer.

If it’s not on the page, it’s not on the screen.

To be perfectly “me” (and other jilted screenwriters) about it:

Typically, the writer and editor defer to the director. If the director wants a line rewritten or a scene re-edited, they can usually tell the writer or editor to do it. Not always (not to mention the studio and the producers have a say too), but that’s how I was taught.

I actually had to go back and check A.V. Club’s own reviews to make sure I wasn’t crazy. All A’s and A-’s. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Metacritic even has a “Universal Acclaim” graphic on the show page. William Hughes might have thought it was messy, but yeah, this was a weird forum for him to voice that opinion,…

Four. Funny, not so funny, insufferable, and pleasant reminiscence.

Would have liked the Lindelof thing to have just done a more interesting story about the police, racism, and Oklahoma with original characters instead of playing with Alan’s old toys.

Cool. Cool.

The animated Watchmen was supposed to be headed for a 2024 release, but the trailer’s framing of it as a “movie event” makes it sound like it’s going to end up landing on Max, instead of theaters.

Remember how that financier weasel Martin Skreli bought that secret Wu-Tang Clan album and kept it private? After he was convicted of securities fraud he had to auction it off, but I don’t know what happened to it after that.

If I were a Billionaire, I would throw money at Shane Black, Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe to make Nice Guys 2. Much more rewarding than the annual running costs of a MegaYacht.

Once that was done, I would also consider funding more Aubrey.

I always find stuff like this and unaired pilots fascinating. It’s interesting to see what worked and what didn’t and if there was any way to fix what didn’t work. 

It’s the Madame Web we deserve, but not the Madame Web we need right now.

Confusing to see “it never made it to the main stage, much less to air” in this post, when the whole point of SNL dress rehearsal is that it is on the main stage, then they cut the 2-3 sketches that tank the most (or succeed the least) before the live show goes to air. It’s also the clearly articulated premise of this…

I think that angsty period had a lot to do with the tragic death of Tugger.

I thought middle-aged is when you take up jousting.

I like middle aged, don’t give a fuck, nothing left to prove so let’s take jobs for the fun and the money Russell Crowe. Much better than the angsty early version.

Hoping for The Nice Guys 2.

Beeeeelaaaaay thaaaaat moooooviiiiie ooooordeeeeer!

Blade has been done and would be nearly impossible to top.

They’re giving it to Jordan Peele, aren’t they?
