to imagine what the mcu would look like had Perlmutter gotten his way, just rewatch the Inhumans pilot, which let’s not forget was released in imax theaters. 

I feel like Mamet’s shtick wore thin a long time ago but ok

the variety article mentioned that there aren’t many mcu movies with that strong of a hold, most of the recent ones have dropped like 70% in the 2nd weekend.  The two they mentioned that had a smaller drop were Black Panther (45%) and (surprisingly) the original Thor (47%). 

eh, i think S2 of Yellowjackets stands up pretty well against Twin Peaks S2

like the guy, but find it amusing that he sounds like that teen kid on the simpsons whose voice hasn’t finished changing

sure maybe AI isn’t that great but i’m guessing whatever sitcom scripts it churns out can’t be that much worse than some of the human-written scripts that end up being made into episodes. So i guess if this strike goes on for awhile we’ll get to see for ourselves

i wonder how much these cancellations are being influenced by the writer’s strike. seems like it would be a lot easier to pull the plug if you know the next season would be substantially delayed anyhow, but of course cancellations happen all the time in any case.

Touche! yikes thats a french thing too, isn’t it! they’re in my head!

i like when he yells “EVERYONE!”. also that weird thing he does when swallowing pills

i just figured it was a french thing

eh, she was always the worst so no big surprise there

watched it on paramount plus a few weeks back and it still holds up. the others not so much. i think its because this one really feels like “indy’s final adventure” and the movie spends so much time subverting the concept of the alpha male pulp adventurer, including the idea that his whole quest for the ark was a big…

alternatively, perhaps this reaffirms the idea that we don’t need these award shows at all

maybe. i’m not convinced Gunn has a great handle on how to handle characters who aren’t firmly in the lovable oddball camp.  he tends to make the more square-jawed alpha male types doofuses so i wonder how he handles Superman, Green Lantern, and the like. But i’m definitely on board with giving him a shot

imo best mcu movie since endgame (unless you count no way home, which is fair). been awhile since i left theaters feeling satisfied after seeing a marvel movie. sad to think this was it for gunn and marvel as they really worked well together. probably not a popular opinion but i think gunn does better when constrained…

eh, if you’ve coped with the changes they made to Drax, I’m sure you can handle the changes they made to Adam Warlock

tbf the MA one (if its the one i’m thinking of) involved postpartum depression and as such was considered more newsworthy than just another white male doing a gun massacre

in any given year the nominees are pretty random, i wouldn’t look for much in the way of logical reasoning to explain why Tribe not nominated yet. all just part of the rock & roll hall of fame desperately trying to remain relevant in the 21st century

heh. always fun to get responses to year-old comments. did that for awhile myself while watching the Leftovers years after it originally aired

well this isn’t good for anybody.  hope this gets resolved quickly in the writer’s favor but we’ll see.  guess we should be prepared for lots more reality shows in the meantime
