Go watch Pain & Gain

Only in an internet comments section could Tom fucking Brady be reduced to a “pseudoscience promoting jackass.” I hate the dude with a fiery passion but there’s significantly more to him than that.

“So, you see, the script didn’t originally call for Batgirl to get stabbed by a tweaker, but we saw a great opportunity to change the direction of the scene and ran with it!”

I think the eventual plan is to have everything under the Para+ umbrella, which is what WBD did/is doing (with the upcoming Disco+ merger) with HBO Max and the rest of their network properties. It is also eerily reminiscent of the whole Go/Now/Max debacle when Max first launched.

That HAS to be Showtime’s only successful show right now, right? I honestly can’t name another show airing on the network right now. 

I’ve always thought Paramount+ was terrible branding to begin with. Not as bad as Viacom’s first attempt at a streaming hub (CBS All Access) but still pretty bad. The Paramount name has zero cultural cache these days and represents only a small portion of the streaming library. I’ve always said they should’ve gone…

I would assume the investigation is trying to figure out whether there were bribes involved or not. 

Top Gun Maverick is absolutely better than Gladiator. I can’t even believe it’s rated that high. But also IMDB ratings are not like definitive rankings of what’s good or bad so who cares

That’s not what they meant and you know it. I hate this tendency to be like, oh, you want a movie about a media property, well what about all of those movies that are sort of aesthetically and thematically similar??? Checkmate!! They want a GTA movie, not a GTA-like movie. Which GTA characters, locations, and…

Yeah idk why I’m just now finding this out, as this game was marketed relentlessly before release, especially here on Kotaku. Seems like a good selling point, although admittedly Tobacco/BMSR might not be as well known to the general public as they are to my social circle. I didn’t have a ton of interest in it (mostly…

Apparently that’s what James Gunn’s first script for the 2002 film was like. It was written as an ironic, adult-oriented take on the series, ala The Brady Bunch Movie or Addams Family Values, with a PG-13 or R rating in mind. Unfortunately that version of the script is now lost, but it allegedly leaned HARD on the…

James Gunn did it 20 years ago. It’s considered lost media now, but his original script for the 2002 film was apparently full of adult humor and was written with a PG-13 or R rating in mind. Remember it was the style at the time to do ironic, adult-oriented takes on squeaky-clean 60s TV series--see The Brady Bunch…

It’s very simple. Movie costs much money; cheap animated series costs little money.

I blame Steven Universe. Not only does every new animated show look EXACTLY like it, they all traffic in the same performative virtue signaling and corporate faux-wokeness

Are we really going back to the mid-2000s trend of releasing every comedy/horror movie as a butchered PG-13 mess and then putting the intended R-rated cut on video as “unrated” to move more copies? I get the point is to pack the teens into the theater, but is that really necessary these days, with the insanely fast…

Not only did he not say anything was wrong with that, I have to wonder why you (or anyone) cares about his opinion so much. There’s this weird trend on the internet where people seemingly can’t tell the difference between fact and opinion and assume every hot take has to be the unquestionable truth and, if you don’t…

I love how people think being unaware of pop culture makes them seem super erudite and refined, but it really makes them look like willfully ignorant idiots who don’t know how to use Google.

The fact that he is, or at least was, Justin Bieber’s favorite comedian should tell people all they need to know about D’Elia.

I really, really hope we’re not going back to the dark days of the mid-2000s when every old TV show with an iota of name recognition was made into a truly awful film. As long as we keep Will Ferrell away from this one (after starring in both Bewitched and Land of the Lost), we might be okay.

Do you know any way of conveying boredom other than comparing it to paint? Jesus, you used that simile 3 times. Clearly you were Trying Very Hard with this comment, so I’m surprised you didn’t pay closer attention.
