Any movie (and I might mean that literally) would be improved by an appearance by Kevin Kline.

Good point RE malware.

It is indeed a trademark but The Favourite didn’t include it (though I only saw it the once when it came out, so I might be misremembering).

Surely there’s a way to download or otherwise capture the stream to just save on a hard drive in perpetuity...

For fuck’s sake, can’t we just let this asshole just disappear into obscurity and maybe prison like he deserves?

The one commercial I remember featured two separate instances of someone leaping in slow motion at someone else, so you’re definitely gonna get your slow-mo fix covered if that’s what you’re into.

If I remember correctly, the last episode, or maybe even last two, had to be cobbled together from whatever had been filmed prior to the pandemic shutdowns starting in mid-March. So I think there was one less episode in the season than originally planned, and what there was for the end, ended up a mess.

I just rewatched it a week or so ago (the previous time may have been when it was first released). It holds up really well, once you get past the Mel Gibson aspect.

Coincidentally, I just rewatched “Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men” yesterday. It holds up great, other than that it cranks Cotton’s antipathy and assholery way way higher than usual.

Most of the SNL reviews of the last few years don’t even mention the musical guest at all, so I suppose the brief stray observation counts as progress.

The link for The Curse is to the wrong one, also. (A movie from last year.)

They’re probably kicking themselves for not saving it.

Not forgetting, of course, that those companies (since they’re people, I guess) also have a constitutional right to free speech, and are freely exercising it by pulling their ads off Twitter.

A little too much Burns & Allen on the mind, I can only assume.

Ha, I thought the same thing (other than setting it in the ‘00s)

The commercials for this really show the straining reach for the prestige the show wants. It’s trying so hard I almost feel bad for how little I want to watch it.

The real risk would be the movie then taking off and making a couple hundred million or something, which’d make Zaslav et al. look really stupid.

A lot of the commercials I’ve seen for this barely even hint at the fact that there’s a villain (that is, some specific character, as opposed to some generic “bad guy” that the heroes are fighting).

I haven’t read them in a while but I remember that popping up* in a bunch of different Sherlock Holmes stories.

While he was into JFK conspiracies and the like I sort of think (and maybe this is just because it’s been so long since I’ve watched the show) he was more, or maybe just preferred, the loopier types of conspiracy theories-- aliens and such. I feel like Dale would balk at the more vicious turns the political conspiracy…
