He doesn’t just get busy he gets biz-ay

Jesus definitely had nothing to do with whatever’s going on here

The weird thing about this parasocial “article” is it sounds like a lot of these breaks *were* unannounced.

…why would two Lennon-McCartney songs be indicators of Ringo’s (who is unfairly maligned for his drumming and songwriting, but the All Starr band *is* silly and embarrassing) value?

Yep, many have said this; it’s kinda the one thing people point to when it comes to Filoni.

the people who think Filoni is the new George Lucas.

*shrugs* baby cute 

“Somehow Palpatine Returned: The Movie.”

There are a couple of writers who respond to *every* comment and it’s a little terrifying tbh

lol shut the fuck up

That’s some pretty thin soup; one could just as well argue the sash as kite ribbon represents the stabilizing force of equality in a society.

it’s kinda remarkable how much of the discourse surrounding this movie is people talking about its themes as though they aren’t present or apparent. i was recently at a get together where several people who hadn’t seen it were saying it sounded icky and exploitative.

Did it really have that attitude? Mrs. Banks is a bit of a flibbertigibbet but I don’t see that movie belittling her cause. I sure as hell can say it was my first exposure to the concept of the suffragette.

…for which Oscars? As good as these films are (of what I’ve seen), very few of these make sense as Best Picture nominees and in many cases I struggle to see what particular element(s) deserve(s) recognition.

so typical to gatekeep once you’ve walked through the door; suddenly transitioning is a problem to Dave only now that he identifies as a rich white man.

Yep, Young Sheldon and Goldbergs as well. I can’t help but think the author just misses when Friends was on the air.

Word; I think the fare of which the writer is bemoaning the loss still exists on broadcast tv (Ghosts, Sheldon, Goldbergs, Abbott, Night Court etc etc), and it’s telling that they can only source four or five examples of its success (most of which are at least 20+ years gone); meanwhile the era which birthed the…

this underlines my complaint with the article: there’s a whole lot more which factors into a show’s quality than its episode count, and it’s kinda simplistic to present the gradual changes in production and consumption into some Sophie’s choice between Grade School Confidential and My Sister My Sitter.

Atlanta’s a great example: I don’t think doubling the episode count would help that show, yet it fits all the needs the article’s author is claiming a 22-episode season would meet.
