She seems to have a thriving film career. I wonder if they're using her less by her own request, so she can keep up with the show but still do the movies she wants to make.

At first I was thinking, "is it crass that Apple stan Phil would switch so completely to Google for the sake of product placement?" Then I thought, nah, that does seem like a Phil thing to do. Still product placement, but it works.

Once again, watch for my musical adaptation of "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari" to premiere, hopefully Off-Broadway, in 2017. I don't quite have something significant to say at the moment; it's just that "Caligari" shows up in serious conversation so rarely that I don't get a lot of chances to plug my upcoming work.

They're a member of a cult-like eugenics-supporting fascist gang, who happen to be powerful enough and insidious enough to take over Great Britain briefly. And their leader is a lich.

They only had themselves to blame.

I like the joke in "Holy Musical Batman" where Bruce Wayne is so emotionally stunted that Alfred puts on a costume and plays Harvey Dent and Two-Face, so that Batman can have both a best friend and an arch nemesis to square off against.

ANNOUNCER: And now, the man you've all been waiting for: Vincent Franklin!

Waaaauuuughhhh… *faux-AC/DC vamp begins playing*

My father, watching the show last night, described Daveed Diggs's character as "the black Russell Brand." I corrected him to "the black Tim Minchin- it's like saying the black Russell Brand, but good."

Captain Hook still smells like pork on the inside.

I thought it stood for "no scrubs."

Two Broke Messiahs

Everything is rigged with squibs. When the Man in Black set off an explosive to escape the jail, we saw the pyrotechnics department. The whole park seems rigged to explode when programming is triggered, to simulate actual explosives and ballistics.
This is substantiated by how gunshots splatter bone and brain, but…

Far as I read, they gave them only the rights to a weird side thing because Nintendo and Pokémon Corporation see that there's a market for this movie, but aren't sure that it can be done well yet. If Detective Pikachu succeeds, they'll know live Pokémon movie is a workable idea. If Detective Pikachu fails, they'll be…

Are the cosplay Pikachus all the canonical 'real' Pikachu? Like, Detective Pikachu, Luchador Pikachu, or the Pikachu of the Month Pikachu. Are they all Mascot Pikachu/Ash's Pikachu/Red's Pikachu? Or just generic Pikachus in costumes?

(Cue theme song. Accordions play.)

DeVito has publically said he doesn't get the Pikachu DeVito meme and doesn't want to do the film; I think they should lean into the Sherlock inspiration and just get Cumberbatch to be Pikachu.
Or… anyone noticed how much the animated mo-cap Pikachu in the game trailer looks like Ted? Seth MacFarlane as Pikachu!

It comes from the meme of Tendies Guy, a middle-aged, overweight mama's boy who retreated into a sort of "learned autism" after moving back into his mother's house and discovering online gaming.

You heard it here first, folks: Jennifer Dean killed and ate her own children.

Will they ask me to bake them a cake? An actual cake?
