What makes you think Paul Rudd, a swarmy Gen X guy is somebody who ANYBODY wants near an universally beloved figure?

Gene Wilder was Willy Wonka, Paul Rudd is a douche who I don’t get the appeal of....I get it’s all personal tastes but he’s just not the right fit for basically a big man child.  I think Ferrell and…

He didn’t? I mean, if you’re referring to the movie Wonka explicitly states the man we know as Slugworth isn’t actually Slugworth and simply works for him. You think a guy who has the economic power to create a worldwide economic crisis can’t control who gets some golden tickets and position a paid actor/associate to…

Any attempt to swap out the letters or destroy them would at best be an administrative kink that the SCOTUS would immediately shoot down.  Also, those are the posted results letters, so while it may not be administratively clear how to replace them, legally those votes were read into congress weeks ago and thus this…

Could you imagine the ‘disney vault’ series? Playing on 1-2 screens per theater where they rotate showings on a Fri-Sun model? Just every theater swaps out a classic disney animated or live action film a week? It would take a year or more to get through them if you through Pixar in there, everytime Toy Story hit (time…

The problem is that while I think the 300M blockbuster will survive just fine if companies opt to buy the theaters, the issue is going to be what were theaters doing when ticket prices kept creeping up and fewer and fewer draws were viable?

I mean, that’s the whole issue with the blockbuster model. You’re increasingly…

If streaming becomes the dominant than asking for backend is less valuable than being paid upfront on the presumption that the netflix model is about keeping people subscribed. More like, you pay 10-20M to a star on the presumption that Netflix will keep making 1-2B a month on subscriptions. But the tentpole…

People have opinions and are wildly unfounded. In fairness to her, she didn’t go on a massive book tour or literary tour and start saying this. We only got her nonsense hot takes when it became available to her via phone. I suspect she doesn’t really get how inept, petulant, and evil she sounds because in her world,…

He’s even a bit of a daredevil to boot...

This.  Nobody is freaked out by escalators if they’ve lived in a western state since the industrial revolution.  Steve is supposed to be worldly and literally FLEW PLANES.  This man took off in what was a motor that PULLED HIM off the ground, his fear of escalators is lazy writing.

Turns out an infinite number of monkeys, typewriters, and time could get you Shakespeare, the same problem of assholes, smartphones with access to the internet, and other people gets you a group of people who will always express their opinions as if valid facts.

So, we just end all children actors or do you mean you want better labor laws?  I’m genuinely confused by your hottest of takes.

Bosch definitely is a throwback show and I love it. I’ve been watching it with my dad who was a 20 year vet of the police force and he’s reminiscing about it all.  It’s been cathartic for him.  I’m going to get D+ when I cut the cord.  I can’t justify more than 3 streams. 

I think KOTOR from years ago did it well, leaving you a cipher to the end, wrapping you up with friends who are strong personalities in one direction or another and if you hang with them long enough they either accept your own choices or not.  But you’re always doing it on your terms.  This sounds like they realized…

Matt Groening has a good sense of writing fun characters but he only has a few seasons worth of writing in him on any show. Disenchantment has too much story to tell to get bogged down in the fantasy tropes and Futurama could afford more throwaway gags because both of the episodic nature and the total episode count a…

The last few years i’ve been busy writing and working and with most of life put on hold due to the pandemic I ended up watching a bunch of shows I wanted to finally see. Crashing through 3 seasons of Discovery, 6 of Bosch, Picard, and I’ll be doing the Mandalorian next. I’m with you on this, I’m still frustrated by…

I’m in, it looked good from the jump and I’m excited to see a revenge movie that likely ends with the villain remaining the villain but getting revenge on villains as well.  Revenge if truly so (justice and revenge can share the same boat, the outcome may be the same but revenge is always personal and without broader…

No, they don’t, that’s kind of the thing here:  Beck Bennett DOESN’T look like Jason Sudeikis.  Nor Garder like Wiig, or any of the others except in a vague same race, sex, and possibly hair color way.  Nobody would think Gardner and Wiig were related let alone the same person.  It’s super easy to see Holt and Bryant…

Your pseudo-intellectualism is why I mocked you. You really think this tracks in reality or are you just being a tired Tucker Carlson retread?

You got called out for being wrong, I’ll keep my PhD in political science.

Oh and you’re fucking lazy hot take didn’t find purchase, so why reply at all?

. . .Dude, can you really say that nonsense shit and think anybody takes you seriously?  Unless you’re hanging out at Berkley in the 1960s your imaginary strawman of liberals is fucking tiring.
