Man, the 2010's were arguably the best decade in history for TV animation, and apparently we’re going to be following it up with a massive contraction of the industry. First Netflix cancels virtually every cartoon it had in the pipeline for the crime of not being Boss Baby, and now WB, which has been one of the…

Gotta love how Batgirl was canned to “protect the DC brand” when Ezra Miller has done more damage, especially to the Flash, than the Batgirl movie would ever do.

Zaslav played a big role in turning the Discovery Channel and TLC from educational channels into trashy networks that air mostly cheap exploitative shows, pseudoscience BS, and nutjobs peddling conspiracies about aliens and doomsday prophecies. So I would question his definition of “quality.”

That’s why Discovery+ is pink, obviously.

The most important thing I learned from this earnings call is that HBO Max is for men and Discovery+ is for women.

Both? Both.

I used to work with an engineer named Harry Boner. People would always assume it was pronounced “bon-ner” and he would correct them.

RE: Dick

I understand my probability of my becoming a millionaire is 0 if I don’t pay $2 for a ticket.

It’s gambling. I understand probability, and I occassionally buy lottery tickets. Will I win? No, of course not. Do I get some moments of stupid thrill when I trick myself into wondering what I would do if I won? Yup. That’s $2 worth of entertainment, to be sure. 

Or on people who have no other way out.

“Arguably, we’ve already had the “perfect” D&D movie thanks to Peter Jackson’s adaptations of The Lord Of The Rings in the 2000s—which, if I’m being honest, do chart a bit too close to “action movie” for my taste”

That’s mostly due to old content deals. Those are all coming to an end. The days when you’ll see a Batman movie somewhere other than whatever the Discovery/HBO app ends up being called are coming to an end.

Nay, This is Square, we suplex trains here.

We’re the “hangout” family. We always offer and have food & space for the kids. It really does give you an insight to what’s going on, so long as your not obtrusive. It also lets you have good conversations with your kids (and possibly others) about what you overhear, so long as your not too judgey in what you say.

eh, in this day and age, I’d rather have them close, and be able to keep an eye on the kinds of kids that they’re hanging out with in case some gentle nudging towards a healthier friend group are needed.

What the hell is wrong with you where that’s what you take away from this?

As a parent of now-adults, my house was always the teen hangout, and my reaction to this was exactly the same!
