I kind of wish the Mysterious Benedict Society show had taken off a little more. It pings a lot of the same notes (special kids growing up together in a world of villains they must slay, alongside a series of mentors who must leave the real work to the kids), but different enough to feel new and it’s own thing. More…

But adults simply cannot wave little sticks around and hide from the rest of the human world and be cool.

I hope Disney succeeds because I really love the Percy Jackson Verse, and I think it’s a great way to introduce kids to mythologies.

I enjoyed this slow, intense and revealing character study, having just watched The Card Counter, another performance and study... My favorite thing about Colman is her eye/smile combo. Her smile can be precisely the same, though her eyes will convey whether she is actually smiling, grimacing, menacing or gritting her…

What’s hilarious is that this “concluded franchise” isn’t even halfway through its big-budget prequel spinoff series, but nobody really cares. We just keep talking about the original books, while the active movies are just “oh yeah, that’s a thing that exists.” Fantastic Beasts isn’t really loved or hated or even…

Because it’s hers. That’s the simple answer. She created it, it’s her intellectual property, she owns the rights to it, and she’s still alive. Until she sells her rights in entirety or dies, nothing — nothing — happens in Harry Potterland without either JK Rowling’s blessing or JK Rowling getting a big fat check out…

Clarissa had one of my favorite lines in the episode “Don’t ever feel bad for not killing someone...” ...

Swear to the Baby Jebus, but if she ever popped up to snarl at me on a company Zoom meeting? I’d proper kack ma breeks. Cara Gee is fucking amazing in every scene she’s in.

I’m honestly willing to give other authors/screenwriters a shot at a Rowling-less “Potter” property.

The real reason they raided that supply depot was to make sure Drummer got a refill on her eye makeup.

Book readers know that time off btwn this and the last 3 books won’t be a problem. The producers are being very very very coy about the show’s future and I’m sure there will be an annoucement in 2022 (trilogy of 3 hr tv movies at worst, 3 new seasons at best) It’s clear this show is a nightmare to produce under covid…

The Expanse started out great and has gotten better with every new season. I can’t understand why it gets so little love from critics. Just a few mentions here and there.

Camina. Drummer. OG.
Think that speech needs to be my ringtone.

They can get the war with the Belters done in that time. As for everything else, seems like they’re aiming for a spinoff.

Oh man... I am absolutely in love with this show and ugh... I’m getting vibes of the reboot of BSG with not enough episodes to fill out the story before it ends.

Give me another season Bezos - you pashangwala.

I was skeptical when they decided to merge the book Michio Pa and Drummer arcs into one TV character, but Cara Gee kills every. single. line. she delivers and I really don’t care anymore.

Live shamed. Die empty.

Once again, like on every year end list Doom Patrol is forgotten.

Thank you. I’m not watching a video. I’d do a slideshow first.
