I agree with the grade. It was plot over character and jokes. But sometimes a sitcom needs a plot episode, so it's ok.

That's My Boy flopped as well. It's a trend.

It wasn't the paid vacations and product placement so much as RLM suggesting his movies were ponzi schemes: all of his dumb comedies feature supporting roles from his friends who almost never appear in anything else. The joke/scam is indeed on the audience.

They say even fiction is autobiographical - which suggests James Frey has the the biggest self-pitying martyr complex ever seen.

I managed to somehow read the book without knowing the controversy - it was so contrived I assumed that of course it was fiction (in fact it's only readable if you consume it as a parody of misery-lit). So I was bemused to later discover he had once pretended it really was his life. He should have owned that…

This is an issue Witcher 3 has. I completed the main quest only to find that side quests are now laughably easy. They also don't reward XP unless their suggested level (ie. how hard the makers think the side-quest is) is within about 5 points of your actual level, so I guess I'm now not going to get much higher than…

I have the opposite problem: the only anxiety I get is when every quest is complete. I have what can only be described as a virtual existential crisis.

I wouldn't worry about it: the real creator died in a bed of money surrounded by his favorite prostitutes.

"Look, I'm just happy there's no mystery surrounding the ending of the series."

The Joker adds a lot of levity, but I was always partial to Batman Begins which played it straight by just about any measure of the genre.

Never said it was the lone example, just an obvious one (which the AV Club seems to have ignored up until now in this whole debate because it's fun to rip on Snyder. Which it is, but still).

[Shrugs] It's not like there aren't more than a few examples of decent 'serious' comic book movies. I don't really care either way. To state the obvious: if we have to have 57 superhero movies a year just try to make them good. Thank you, Hollywood - I know you won't let me down!

'This cannot be viewed in your country.'

Where are your friends toniiiiight?

'Blockbusters now have to be marketable to 14 year olds, and watchable for 8 year olds.' - some guy whose name I can't remember but was depressingly right.

Touché. To answer the actual question: I don't know and don't really care. I doubt it will be explicitly addressed beyond 'some time has passed.'

I doubt it was the plan - Pixar have just finally accepted they're going to rely on brand recognition, like all other studios.

So you're a Marvel fan, then? ;-)
