Davies passed the reigns over to Steven Moffat and the Eleventh Doctor—Matt Smith—while continuing to write episodes from time to time

She was in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Playing a spunky princess, even.

What about Pratt’s prior output makes you think he can do a credible (or cartoonish) Italian accent?...Or do we even want him to do an accent?...Or do we even want Mario to talk?...Or...Christ this movie's going to be a disaster.

He actually does full conversations as Mario at conventions and in YouTube videos and the like. He’s also done full dialog as Wario for both Wario Ware Gold and Get it Together.

This cast has actually made me want to watch the movie because of just how much of a garbage fire it’ll be. KMK as Toad alone is probably going to have a thousand memes based on him.

Those guys wouldn’t be caught dead in another Mario movie.

So the 1993 Super Mario Bros is now canonically the best Super Mario movie of all time?

That’s genuinely lovely. Hope you both enjoy. I recently introduced my seven year old to the original 70s The Muppet Show and it surprisingly holds up quite well.

I am ridiculously excited for this, on my own behalf and on my son’s. He’s developmentally delayed and has had a really hard time of it with the pandemic but Muppets always make him happy.

I mean, it’s not like there wasn’t a lot of information shared regarding the Trump presidency that should have been enough for everyone.

Like, is this memo really going to turn over any Trump fans?

Kudo for putting herself out there.  

producers had to “play catch up” so the audience wouldn’t think it was unsafe and unethical to be there.

Yep - I’m tired of media outlets still calling it a “coup threat.”  This stuff makes it clear that it was a genuine attempt.

The Republican party is now the biggest threat to this country it has ever faced, it doesn’t matter what the party used to be. Everyone who is able needs to vote in EVERY election, down to the local municipal level, and vote them out. Yeah, Democrats suck too, but let’s get rid of the imminent threat first.

So odd that Dan Quayle is out saving American democracy in 2021

but here’s to the perennially terrible Pence for steeling himself to withstand Trump’s other schoolyard threat to not be Pence’s buddy anymore unless he effectively made Trump’s fascist fantasies come true.

Yeah. That whole Nixon thing was not important and no “real historian” has ever mentioned “Deep Throat”. (Whatever that means. History is what’s remembered and in the media age, history is recorded by all kinds of players. There is no authority as to whose record counts.)

Stop fucking scapegoating. It’s not Woodward’s job to blow the whistle here, in case you needed a reminder. 

Bob Woodward records history.

Not enough non-MAGA types take this seriously BECAUSE people like Woodward wait to publish a book about it. The fact that such damning events are covered up in the name of book sales saps any sense of urgency from the general populace. Meanwhile the New Confederate Party marches on....
