If no one else brought up the Cortese movie I was going to, painful as that might be. To be fair it’s not a good movie ruined by a bad lead. It’s genuinely mediocre-at-best.

Dammit!

With a change of vowel it would be Shart Treks, which I propose might worse.

Too hip for the room.

Apparently Shannon Purser has to always have a popular girl named Veronica as her nemesis. Ah well, guarantees work for two people.

“Canceraids”. There’s a blast from the past.

It’s a Star Trek TOS reference, but 95% of people who use the word don’t know that.

That’s a pretty thin reed. The Awl had no legal challenges - funded by Peter Thiel or otherwise - and it still went under. It’s a tough media landscape.

I agree with you that Hotel was a lot of fun. As for Coven, it kind of fell apart but I can’t hate it since that brought me Jamie Brewer’s delightful character.

Interesting compare/contrast with the other members of DC’s “Trinity.” The big screen flicks based on Superman and Batman basically adapted the definitive comic book biographies, with little changes that either made their way into the mythos (i.e. Smallville is in Kansas) or didn’t (i.e. Joker killed Bruce’s parents.)…

Would that this were the most unfortunate thing to have happened at Woodstock ‘99.
