After Will Smith smacked Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, the Academy felt the ire of viewers demanding they recede Smith’s Best Actor trophy or for Smith to return it in shame.

I miss Kendall Roy every day. Well, him and Braden Holtby.

I’m glad Hayden is getting something of a redemption tour. Him nailing the timbre and delivery of Matt Lanter just sells it. 

Looking at those song titles... did she inherit e.e. cummings’ typewriter with the broken shift key?

Being on a sitcom ruined things for her like it did for many young sitcom actors. They’re prompted to act much more broadly than they would in anything else, and unfortunately it becomes second nature over time. They have to be aware of it and work extremely hard to break the habits they formed.

Sweetin is cool and beautiful and an awesome person.

That Cenat fellow should have held that in Washington D.C.  I don’t think they are as strict on inciting riots and unlawful assemblies.

It doesn’t look like she’ll be back! 

So glad I never bothered finding out who she was or anything about her

I really enjoyed Edge of Tomorrow and it occurred to me that a prequel (ugh) with Blunt’s character getting the time loop power would make for some good lore-building and if handled appropriately, could deal with an issue other than the fact she fails to end the war.

I mean, Edge of Tomorrow is no great shakes as a name either; while it’s better than Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow, I have to say that Live Die Repeat and Repeat wraps all the way around to become a great sequel title.

That weird, unearned death was definitely one of the low points of that final season and was very emblematic of the whole “let’s clear the table by sweeping everything off onto the floor” approach to resolving the story.

I thought it was fairly obvious why May May blamed Aimee Leigh.

In real life, I totally hope for all televangelists to have a downfall but I don’t think that is in the cards for the Gemstones. They have consistently shown them as dysfunctional but well-meaning. The Y2K thing is the closest they have come to showing them being shady.

On the one hand the show doesn’t go quite as hard on the Televangelist/Megachurch scene as it could, on the other hand I think it’s interesting that even without showing the Gemstones being overtly hateful/bigoted or chud-like, like they’re still pretty fucked up. 

This site currently employs about three people with a budget of whatever they found under the couch, it’s a miracle we have any episode-by-episode coverage of anything anymore.

Same. That ending ruined the movie for me. I remember in the run-up to the movie’s release, Hugh Jackman and Mangold basically said “It’s a Kurosawa movie”. They said they wanted to shoot as much as they could practically, on location, with minimal CGI. Mangold said the movie would be grounded, and the majority of its…

yeah - I really enjoyed 95% of the runtime and then just totally spaced out during the mech fight.

My biggest issue with it was the part of the film where he lost his healing factor. “Person with powers no longer has powers” is an overused trope, especially when it robs the character of a thing that makes them interesting. One of the most enjoyable parts of seeing/reading Wolverine is the visceral feel you get when…

The Wolverine was almost perfect and I really liked it. The CGI mech suit ending was kind of weak.
