What’s kinda fucked about this is that she probably doesn’t have much recourse if her lawyers were actually bad. What’s she going to do, sue for malpractice? This verdict has all but guaranteed that nobody’s going to take her seriously. After all, she’s “unlikeable”.

Alex Hirsch the day he left Disney:

“Not S&P Approved” has been approved by S&P’ will never ever grow old.

It’s a shame his dastardly corporate overlords subsequently pulled the plug on his show and never allowed him to finish the story he was trying to tell.

This is show is what you get when the acting is excellent, the production values are impeccable, and the show runners have been trying to yada yada yada their way through it all. It’s no surprise that Jonathan Nolan has partnered with JJ Abrams, because I’m seeing a bit of Abrams’ signature combination of lush visuals

There’s nothing unusual about a juror trying to evaluate a witness’s credibility -- that’s a major function of the jury.  The juror here isn’t saying, “Amber Heard was sad, and I don’t like people being sad, so I punished her.”  He’s saying that the way she appeared upset, then suddenly not, over and over again, was

Except witness testimony and behavior is part of the evidence. It’s why we have live testimony. The jury is able to see how the witness behaves in response to questions.  Body language makes up a large part of human communication, so it’s not to be discounted. If we didn’t think it was important trials would consist

I’m hoping they just reveal that all of Season 3 took place in a FutureWorld park, it was just a scripted narrative for tourists, none of it really “happened” and it can all be forgotten.

I loved season one, enjoyed season two, and quit season three halfway through because it was so bad. I'll check this out, but I hope they put out a video explaining what happened in the previous season for those of us who didn't stick it out, because I'm definitely not going to try again.

it was actually Rise of Skywalker, which makes it even weirder that they insisted on using the same (silly) story device twice in almost as many years of Star Wars content. It worked much, much better here IMO - thematically anyway (still silly) - but just mind boggling that they couldn’t come up with something else. 

Not to mention that apparently they only had one ship with which to evacuate all these people, but then decided to let Ben borrow it to go rescue Leia (one person) instead of helping hundreds of people evacuate. And Until that happened, the Empire didn’t know where the Path base was, and nobody seems to be upset that

The Chewy fakeout was in Rise of Skywalker. I can understand how you tried to forget that movie existed, though...

I mean, Starkiller essentially did it in the force unleashed games before it was de-canonized, and that was with a star destroyer.

The old Tartakovsky Clone Wars microseries had Yoda TK grab an enormous trade federation battleship in space and just whack it into another one. 

It was through the gut. I’ve heard it said that Pau’ans have two stomachs.  Or maybe it’s like Tom Waits in Buster Scruggs: “didn’t hit nothin’ important!”

I am not prepared to pursue that line of inquiry at the moment as I think it is getting too silly!

Nipples on stormtrooper armor is just evoking classical gladiator armor! It’s a perfectly viable artistic vision!

Viper pubes?

WOW! I mean, I know AV Club has turned into taking verbatim snippets from Variety, HR and Deadline, (Often just literally cut and paste), and you want some Leto snark, but, the fuck? That interview is crazy good, and would make a nice think piece, but none of that’s here.

Someone introduce them to Martin Shkreli so we can complete the unholy triumvirate!
