Glad I’m not the only one forcibly trying to revert my life to 2019 after a series of failed personal ventures in the wake of the pandemic. But if we’re on the same path, they’ll quickly find that the feeling’s just not there anymore, and the good times are gone for good.

This all rules

Somehow the tone on this looks subtly-but-crucially off in the same way as Snyder’s (and therefore, what’s the point), but at least Warner Bros is nearly out of ways to squeeze dollars out of this thing. A couple more decades and they’ll probably put it out of print by accident and revert the rights to Moore or his…

Hell yes, it’s so awesome to see all these old names back contributing again.

Corden’s a lot like Fallon but he doesn’t really break or flub — just a cold, calculated celebrity interview & pop culture ‘comedy’ machine.

I completely agree with you and it’s been my worry for awhile that this would look just ok coming off so many Batmen, but instead I think it looks like a fun remix of what worked during each of the previous post-89 eras (with the biggest emphasis on the Burton and Nolan entries) with some of the horror and stylistic…

I saw a few episodes of this over the summer and was intrigued that it seemed to be a mildly more adult-oriented version of the type of SciFi show you’d usually see on Cartoon Network or Netflix. I hope it gets the finale special; I’d love to go back and check it out. I’m also always bummed out when streamers aren’t…

He could revive his UHF character. The winner GETS TO DRINK FROM THE FIREHOOOOOSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!

I understood the desire to keep this show going to season 30, for the landmark achievement it was, but I’m shocked they’re still going. They still produce some good to great episodes every now and then, but they’re far beyond the classic years when nearly every episode was great, and the modern seasons are usually…

Another that’s surprised me is Corden, who I found unbearable pre-pandemic. He developed some empathetic qualities doing the show from his garage, and watching him riff and exchange insults with his staff every single night (and either fly through or dismiss his pre-written monologues for being awful) since his return…

I think we may finally be over the hump on the Superhero trend, or at least the now beaten-to-death attempts at deconstructing it (which I think totally miss the point of what people see in it). The Millarworld deal seemed questionable given that his more successful adaptations were the product of Matthew Vaughn and…

There are a few things that are subjectively skippable if you’re willing to miss those earlier sword-gathering moments I mentioned, but the only book that was almost totally isolated from the main story around the sword bearers was Hellions. The issue of X-Factor that comes right after the Creation one-shot was…

This event was kind of weirdly structured, which makes sense given that they re-organized it and nearly doubled the issue count once the pandemic hit. I could’ve done less with the sword hunting in order to have gotten a little more context and explanation of the Otherworld and its characters (beyond the prose pages),…

It’s sad that this idea is just here in a GMG-era comment thread and not in a board room somewhere or a pitch meeting for season 4 of At Home With Amy

This is exciting news, but I hope it’s not a sign that Suzuki has given up on games for this story. His supposed number of chapters has changed over time, but I think it’s currently down to 11, which would mean probably two more games. When Shenmue III hits steam in November, and this anime launches, he’ll probably…

I’m surprised that they’re not just editing the scenes out and adding a disclaimer during their original run times... Most of these have been extremely thoughtless sight gags that run only a few seconds, and if you’re leaving the rest of the show in circulation, you may as well just cut the scenes and put an apology…

I’m very glad that it sounds like this was filmed Pre-Pandemic. For some reason I had been thinking that they were going to film it when the show started up again on Broadway in the fall, and that we may have missed it. I saw the tour version and it was great albeit I couldn’t totally make sense of whatever visual…

I dropped out after the first season when it was airing on real television due to how dull it was, but went back and watched it all in 2016ish. You’ll definitely want to just watch the ‘good’ episodes. Here’s an episode guide. I’d watch the recommended ones in the footnotes as well.

Somewhere out in the world, there’s an actually worthwhile project for Jack Black just floating around, instead of the just-OK family movies and outright bad misfires and sequels he’s been taking on for the majority of his career.

Fuck. I’m still torn up by this. His songs and albums often ended on an ambiguous balance between hope and futility (think of something like The Wild Kindness), but I always read for hope and possible escape from the darkness, especially on the Purple Mountains album. I didn’t realize how much I’ve listened to his…
