Can we give him money to not make a Beastmaster sequel?

Good god! They really are reviving the old A.V. Club, aren’t they? What’s next? A takedown review by Ignatiy? The long-prophesied return of Snarkmaster General Sean O’Neal himself?!

“the coffee chain was absorbed into a new parent company based in Brazil in 2014, making the iconic Canadian brand not technically Canadian”

“She has no scruples, no ethics, and no reflection!” is where I completely lost it when I originally watched this.

Best scene ever, with my favorite line from Frasier’s entire run:

Yeah, can you imagine something crazy, like having Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro playing old and young versions of the some character? It would never work!

Ahh ok. No worries. ;)

But in this case there’s no way to separate Rowling’s show from the rest of the offerings on Max. Unless she gets some kinda bonus based on the number of views.

Should every subscriber feel that they’re supporting an anti-trans activist? I don’t think so.

Edit: and RE: Rowling, fuck her but my thinking is she’s already like a multi-millionaire I’m not sweating the idea that she gets a few millions more.

I think the perception is that while he did admit to the actions, he wasn’t particularly apologetic about it, and didn’t seem to be doing anything to atone, at least not publicly. So in response some people said, well, to hell with him, then, we can spend our money on someone else.

First came X (Mar 2022), then Pearl (Sep 2022), which is a prequel to X. Maxxxine is a sequel to X.

I dunno about “terrible.” Anodyne and middle-of-the-road, sure. (with apologies to Alfonso Cuarón) Rowling in particular has put me off wanting to spend any more time or money on Potter, not to mention my increasing disinclination toward revisiting endless IP franchises. Like, yes, it sure is fun to wallow in…

Yeah! I noticed it in a shot where he kneels down to pet the cat (er, flerkin), and when he stands up from kneeling, he just did it in a way that clearly looked like an old person standing up, not a younger person.

These video game adaptations are getting weird.

“True but November 15th is a bit early.”

And then this apparent tentpole film isn’t even releasing on or particularly close to December 25?

Fully agreed. This is the same point I’ve been making for... what, eight, nine years now? I was perfectly happy to give the binge model a whirl back in the day (we binged the hell out of the Marvel Netflix shows, and many others), but the problems you describe all became evident really quickly as I tried to have…
