Pity the reporter who had to transcribe this idiot’s broken English and write a sympathetic narrative around how it sucks to be Logan Paul since it only takes him a half hour to earn a year’s salary. Three years in journalism school, $40K in student loan debt, and in one of the lowest paying jobs and he has to

I’m tired of this grandiose liberal thinking that hinges on middle America somehow repudiating Trump, tribalism, racism, gerrymandering in the space of two years. The farm-belt probably hates Trump’s incessant Tweeting and that’s about it. It allows entrenched Republicans to counter-punch back with mud-slinging and

If Perry brings back Madea as a zombie, then his detractors can almost literally claim he’s beating a dead horse.

It’s anti-climatic for sure but I can easily see Classic Doctor Who defusing the situation similarly back in the First or Second Doctor eras. So it has that going for it.

I want to say Chibnall & Co. did a better job with this than Moffat did with the Van Gogh episode back in Series 5. Both are worse for their emotionally manipulative song choices, but Rosa does a better job justifying its placement.

You should not expect such standards from the people who brought you, iHeartRadio

There was a lot of world building this week, and even if it was more window-dressing. I know I’m a minority but I honestly preferred this to this premiere.

Interesting. I thought that more of a nod to the Troughton years, specifically the ending to the first episode of The Mind Robber when the TARDIS blew up.

Listen, The Rock’s gonna give his John Henry portrayal only the upmost respect! He might even squeeze a pectoral dance into his performance...

I look forward to people just rolling their eyes at The Rock, Period.

I understand Fincher and Brad Pitt are tight but I cannot get over that David Fucking Fincher is directing the World War Z sequel. I understand when a studio hires an competent unknown indie director to handle their $200M Summer Blockbuster, it’s to deliver competent mediocrity.

Who gives a shit if a movie bends the truth to tell a compelling story. It’s a movie! Filmmaking as a medium, which includes documentaries, is defined by economic presentation of events. Otherwise it’s a six road trip without a radio. If you want to watch a sober, beat by beat documentation of events, go watch a

Will Ferrell’s track record without Adam McKay is fairly dismal and I have it on good authority that this isn’t gonna break that trend.

I’d argue that the tragedy porn with companions began with the Davies era and then Moffat took the ball and ran with it, unfortunately. But, yeah I totally agree about Bill and Nardole. Capaldi’s last season, with the exception of the Veritas, is outstanding.

This is really petty but could we not place modern Pop music in the Doctor Who teasers anymore? All these promos for S11 make me long for a Murray Gold orchestration to go over the visuals. Putting contemporary Pop music over trailers instantly dates it and that’s probably the reason the marketing teams under Davies

The Broccolis would have hired an unknown British indie director before they hired Brett Ratner...

Trump jokes are such low-hanging fruit mostly because the absurdity that comedians operate within just happen to be a reality for the guy.

That was my interpretation of that interview too. I suspect that they’ll return to NYC fairly quickly after the premiere, which is a shame because I love the concept of Elementary finally returning to Conan Doyle’s stomping grounds and adapting his stories proper. There’s even a reference to The Adventure of the Noble

She’s a stupid character to boot. The writers needed her to turn the screws on Joan and Hannah, but it made her look like a terrible investigator.

I’m well aware of the comic books existence and its connection to the MJH show, which is to say there is none. Everyone who defends the show’s existence uses the comic’s aberration as some justification for this to be made. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should, dude.
