Obviously I get that animated series can get away with a lot that live action movies don’t, but that tone of the DCAU shouldn’t be one of them

Just a note that Kinja has garbled the last paragraph of this post. It should read:

Whedon similarly seemed to shrug off Ray Fisher’s accusations of creating a toxic workplace; instead, Warner Media fired Fisher.

I don’t think that Buffy’s first few episodes, which is what the NYTimes reviewer is most likely basing the assessment on, are a full representation of the scope of the series.

I am guessing that this conversation took place just before the whole Whedon discussion blew up. This is not a defense of him, but it also seems clear that different actors’ mileage varied greatly with him. He also gave immeasurable career boosts to numerous actors. Some of them, like Charisma Carpenter in particular,…

Well, like everyone else in her family, she has no self awareness, so it’s hard to know how she understands the world around her. Does she even recognize non verbal cues of dismissal?

There was a Reno 911 sequel. The series was revived on Quibi. You know Quibi! That great mobile entertainment app that everyone loves so much . . . oh, wait . . . never mind.

OK.
Welcome to the internet. Perhaps you have noticed headlines here or on other websites that say things like “Here’s what’s leaving Netflix this month” or The 10 best scary movies to watch on Hulu before Halloween” etc. etc.

I liked this episode a lot, and I am learning to love the way this show doesn’t go off on tangents —It is all made of tangents. It does leave us wondering if and how Hippolyta manages to get back to her daughter, who seems to be the only reason for her to leave whatever magical realm she has made her way into. That…

I have that Aukey Antenna mentioned above, and I live in NYC. It is an inexpensive antenna, and works fairly well, and I would imagine that in a less urban environment, it would be quite adequate. In NYC, however, I get about 70% of the broadcast channels that I should normally expect. For New York City, this is…

Let me preface this by saying I generally avoid Chik-Fil-A on moral and spelling grounds, but one day I decided that I had to try this chicken sandwich that has America under it’s thrall. How delicious must this sandwich be? Since Chil-Fil-A has started to appear in New York City in recent years, it was no longer…

What a clever stunt, and what a shame that they have spoiled it for us.

I don’t know why you need to concern yourself with who a TV show is for? As far as I’m concerned, all I have to figure out is if the show is for me or not. If it is, then great! I’ll watch it. If it isn’t, then it’s of no consequence. So far, Doom Patrol is a delight and I want more ASAP. Titans has way exceeded my…

Nobody had a problem with Edward Norton’s acting in The Incredible Hulk. It was, apparently, his constant conflicts with the director and, if I remember correctly, unwelcome attempts to revise the script that caused his recasting. There was reportedly a lot of friction, and it sounds like he didn’t understand how…

(What can we say? Once upon a time we were all really excited to watch Ben Kingsley fight Robert Downey Jr.!)

None of them are hurting for money, but their egos are demanding it.

Seriously, it takes huge teams of people to get a minor movie made, let alone a major studio release. Should I rob Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga of their potential success just because they had to hold their noses and work with a disgusting pig like Jon Peters (probably on a superficial level) to get their movie made?…

I haven’t read the tweeted script, but it’s worth noting that while Marvel may not object to edginess in movies like the Deadpool franchise, or even in Logan, its animated output is far from adventurous if we are going by the Avengers and Spider-Man series it has been producing for the DisneyXD channel. Perhaps they…

Laura Ingraham is no victim. She does not engage in free speech. She practices sponsored speech. As long as the person who owns Fox News wants viewers to hear what she wants to say, then she will have that venue to spew her loathsome opinions, supposed boycotters be damned. Same with the publishers who print her…

Also, there’s a chance Harvey Weinstein might pop out of whatever pit he’s hiding in to try and make some claim to the profits from this show. At Miramax, Weinstein and his brother Bob once controlled the Lord Of The Rings movie rights and became “profit participants” on the original trilogy when it went to Warner…
