Really? You’re going to culture war about Yellowstone? Are You Megan McCain?

Money.

Why would they need to keep the cast intact until season 50? I’m sure everyone would come back for the big reunion extravaganza.

Katie, Aidy, and Cecily need to move on. They’ve starred in other shows! Pete Davidson too. He doesn’t feel as over it as the others but it’s getting there. Kyle Mooney has run his one joke into the ground and he’s also currently starring on another show. And I feel sorry for Melissa, but the show doesn’t need her and…

Loved the book, not sure at all how it will translate into film, especially if they keep the book’s framing device of Libby, a very peripheral character, narrating everything. I’m of the unpopular opinion that sometimes you need to change a book significantly to make it work in another medium.

The more I see her on SNL the less funny she is. She only ever does weird middle America hicks. That’s what her movie was and that’s what this sketch was. I know it’s a retread of something she and Forte did when they were both cast members but it’s a stupid premise.

He gave $20 million to Spellman and talked about how women were leaders and wrote powerful, educated, female characters. You can’t tell by looking. That should be the lesson here.

In the last season, Marshall gives up his job so she can move to Italy for a year and be an art buyer. 

They were always popular. That’s why he was asked to do them in the first place. And I love the idea that people see him as the same as Kathy Griffin. He would be SO offended by that. 

I’ve never seen this before. Oh my god it’s so early 2000s aspirational. I can smell the Abercrombie perfume through my laptop.

Maybe I’m weird but even though I enjoyed the books, bought them the day they came out and everything, I have no desire for anything else. Not interested in the movies, the toys, putting myself into a House, the prequels, the ancillary stuff on the website, trying butterbeer. I wikied the plot summary for Cursed Child…

How does ANYONE “know their Hogwarts House”? Unlike with zodiac signs, there’s no official Hogwarts test thing. There are a million online tests, some connected with official Harry Potter stuff, some not. But there are no rules for belonging to one or the other.

A lightsaber isn’t a stick?

Who would buy Harry Potter for what Disney paid for Star Wars. If it were possible to do a Star Wars/MCU/Star Trek thing and keep making spinoffs, some big company would have done it by now.

I’m trying to think of one series that retained its quality after the original left.

Again, this is normal. Hollywood made the Ender’s Game movie without Orson Scott Card. Hollywood made a Lethal Weapon TV series without Mel Gibson. Hollywood rebooted Roseanne without Roseanne. Avoiding controversy and making things palatable is WHAT HOLLYWOOD DOES.

She has another successful series that has nothing to do with Harry Potter. Also, “one story to tell” describes nearly all genre writers. How many different stories did Arthur Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie have? How many times have Dan Harmon or Shonda Rhimes done the same show?

You could say the same for Star Wars. Everyone hated the prequel movies but were still obsessed with the original franchise. Now a new Star Wars thing comes out every month, some are good and some are bad and the culture still obsesses over it. And we’re all hanging out on a website devoted to pop culture.

You can say that for Star Wars and Marvel and the Simpsons and standup comedy and Star Trek and Joe Rogan.

I think in the real world it depends on the artist. Bill Cosby, it’s pretty universal no one will ever consume his work again. But no one has a problem watching a Harvey Weinstein movie. Oddly, John Mulaney is getting boycott action and he didn’t even do anything that bad. I think it depends on whether the reputation…
