He’s got a real “mountain hermit” look going.

How Did This Get Made doesn’t cover just terrible movies though, they also do movies that are good but make baffling decisions. And more often than not the hosts recommend the bad ones anyway.

True, but the problem is that talent that’s mid-level today could easily be the one making huge blockbusters tomorrow, and refusing to work with TNT or WBD or whoever because of how they were fucked over previously.

It’s a rare thing to see Hanks break bad, but when we do, it’s quite a sight to behold.

Yeah, I was about to say, the tweets in the article have to be some sort of long-game, multidimensional parody, right? Because no one could legitimately care this much about this stuff this stupid.... and yet.

And then Nadja calling it gibberish and saying he had the brain scramblies.

I don’t disagree but I’m still fairly surprised it was given higher than a D+.

Back in the day (and it’s a little dispiriting to call the late 90s that, but anyway) Homicide and NYPD Blue often had cases that stretched over 2 or 3 episodes before wrapping up. (Homicide, most famously, with the case that the series started with.) So there was some ‘soft’ serialization but in a lot of ways you…

I’ve been watching the CSI reboot / sequel / whatever. The first season’s overall plot was... fine, except for the wrap-up, which was extremely rushed and was done like they realized “oh shit, we only have one episode left to do this in”. This season’s overall plot I could not possibly care less about.

Perhaps but it also take the right actor to deliver it well. (Not even related, exactly, to their acting ability.) Halle Berry, not really-- Matt Berry, certainly.

Good to know (genuinely!), thanks.

Oh shit, I did forget he was in that.

Exactly; welcome to capitalism.

Shouldn’t this sort of shading or complicating of the Na’vi happened in the second movie? (which, sure, it might have; I haven’t seen it.) I guess the first one had all the world-building to do so I guess it can be forgiven for sticking with the extremely (no ‘seemingly’ about it) straightforward “greedy,…

Well, hey, how about Sean Bean then?

the deleted cartoons include “What’s Opera, Doc?”, “Rabbit Of Seville,” “Duck Amuck,” and “One Froggy Evening”

I tell people the last thing I saw in theaters before the pandemic was The Lighthouse (or Parasite? Whichever one came out second), but it was actually Rise Of Skywalker. I’m not proud of it.

That would have been much more interesting than the actual movie, which I tried to be open-minded about but just ended up hating its fucking guts.

I won’t say it’s the correct answer, since it’s all subjective really, but the best answer is “all of American Dad’s Christmas episodes”.

Sort of related, I’m surprised Truth Social is one of the banned ones.
