I love how the number of question marks in classic series costuming multiply exponentially as the show goes off the rails, only to scale back down to a tasteful level right before the end.

The way I see things this’ll either be the first successful video game movie, or the most interesting failure of a video game movie to date. So it’s a win-win.

Alternately it’s 15 minutes long and by about the 9-minute mark Eleven is making weird boasts about being sexually superior to the giant shadow creature.

So do GJIs just come from Youtube’s recommendations algorithms now? Because that’s how this video originally made its brief entry into my consciousness, and presumably that’s how it’s made its return.

“See, this is how you can stop liking this movie that you like.”

That’s kinda where I am with this story too - “there’s no way she’s lying, but part of me wishes she was just so something as awful as this wasn’t happening for several years.”

Hey, now they’ll have two shows that people want to watch on their service! (Maybe back down to one if Discovery pulls a really gross twist that my friends who’ve watched it have been talking about.)

Weirdly all the ads skipped the central conceit and basically pitched it as “The Funny Bobby Moynihan With Daughter Show”.

I commented on an earlier post about Elle Fanning’s love of magic tricks that has for some reason since been taken down, and now I can’t look at my notifications because some of them reference an article that no longer exists.

Chance was killer in the cameos he got when he showed up as musical guest. And having seen Girls Trip I can envision a route to the Tiffany Haddish episode being good.

Just... why does it have to be the worst possible thing every single time? Can we not catch even one break?

Elle Fanning for Zatanna in the Justice League Dark movie. Make it happen (and then strand it in development hell forever), DC.

Well, I mean, that’s the likely answer. But it’s not the fun one.

Get the joke but it legitimately would’ve been chill as hell to not have a single white dude on the team.

Regardless it feels weird to single her out from the three clearly friendly recurring cast members, so the Missy rumor stands.

The correct troll there would be to bring back the Rani as a man, in honor of the fanbase speculating that every mysterious new female character is a Rani regeneration (and also because they kind of set it up in “Mummy On The Orient Express”).

“unrepentedly”

I’ve been harboring the perverse idea for a few years that they should do a reboot where the only series-regular actor is the Al Calavicci-type; we see Beckett the way other people do and get a new special guest lead playing him week-to-week, so it’s like an anthology series where one of the characters just happens to…

(Psst. When I said “subpar music writing” I meant the article’s attempt at music criticism, and everyone else went off running.)

Nitpick: all the songs on Product are sung by friends. Part of the reinvention here is that this is SOPHIE’s first turn on lead vocals (apart from some early work in a duo with Jeffrey Sfire).
