Also women of a certain vintage who watched Y&R. Girls I grew up with turned into women who named their daughters variations of “Christine” and tried to call them “Cricket”.

This was my thought, as well. At the time, it also played so nicely as something about what you would say or do with the people close to you if you knew you wouldn’t get to see them again. And some segments definitely play better than others, but it’s okay.

I don’t know. I saw it at Sundance. Thought it was funny and charming, if a bit drawn out. 

I don’t think them being different productions is what will keep Orlando Jones away, since he’s no longer under contract with American Gods.

“They need someone who can capture Ellie’s innocence and vulnerability but also her precocious resolve.”

Yeah, I'm completely fine with this. I hope to God that they don't drag the first game out, it can fit well within one season...

A bit ironic that you say that. On the Laserdisc of Die Hard his character was identified as being played by “Reginald Veljohnson (“TVs Roc”)“ on the back of the sleeve in the description. They had to put a paper insert in with the disc that corrected the error. Pretty terrible if you think about it.

This thread is a Miller-Boyett Production in association with Lorimar Television, and is distributed by Warner Brothers Domestic Television Distribution.

He’s on a press tour for a Disney Plus show. That he got anywhere NEAR discussing American perceptions of police work in 2021 in connection with his roles (especially considering the show he’s promoting is a show about American law enforcement) probably had 3 different PR reps making cut-off signs at their throats.

No, it’s because most of them were made by Paul Anderson and Uwe Boll. There have been very few proper, competent attempts to adapt games, so it turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy as studios continue not to try.

We’re going to apologize for decades of racist portrayals of non-white people by....replacing them with monkeys!  

Kind of hoping about ten minutes into one episode there will be a big fight, they’ll get separated, both will be torn apart by zombies, black screen for the next fifty minutes...then the next episode restarts at the save point

There’s an identical discussion for any adaptation to film or TV - a definitive version of the story already exists, which should make the adaptation redundant. Yet the world is full of beloved adaptations that add something to the original work.

This is sort of a mixed blessing, though. Like, ok, it will probably look amazing, but if it’s that expensive, that also means it has to immediately become the most popular show on HBO or boom it’s cancelled.

It’s a rare condition

You referencing the Full House theme and not Family Matters is a hate crime. 

I will confess that on my first scroll past the story I thought it was Charles S. Dutton. Which would also have been cool.

Well, now you’ve done it. He’s not going to watch real life, either.

What about combos thereof?

He doesn’t hate all dogs though! I’m his neighbor and I’ve regularly seen him or Lily walking an adorable black shepherd puppy.
