Indeed, no surprise on Helstrom. Actually, the only shocker here is that Marvel/Hulu/Disney promoted it in the first place instead of quietly releasing it to absolutely zero fanfare. Nothing new from the old Marvel TV stable was going to get a second season so I don’t even know why they spent the marketing $ on giving…

I’d be very into this if each episode were at least 70% about the narratives, characterizations, writers, artists, and moments from the comics that made these characters (and Marvel in general) special in the first place; Claremont and company holding forth about the Phoenix Saga; The Simonsons and others on that…

Just to add some varnish on the (very fair) Elon critique: The guy also builds and hawks spacefaring rocket tech which—oh hey—produces tons of pollutants and eats up tons of resources both on the ground (from fuel refinement, storage, etc.) and in the air (from exhaust).

I agree that IN GENERAL things should have the interior logic you mention. But IN THIS CASE, it’s just to late to throw in an explanation without it being kind of shit.

Also, let’s face it, there’s no explanation for fucking zombies that isn’t supernatural. Somehow they sustain wounds that would immobilize normal…

Welcoming him to the world of men who date women. I hope someone’s told him how shouty it is in here and how he has to have a raft of opinions on Paul Thomas Anderson films ready to go at any second. 

I’d prefer it this way. Besides, mysteries like this allow the viewer to come up with their own best explanations, explanations they invest in more deeply as time goes on. A stunning reveal after all these years of episodes would inevitably be a massive disappointment to so much of the audience, something completely…

I agree with Rich that Bella is interesting, but unfortunately as less of a personality or artist than as an object.

Here is someone who seems to think that living online is something she has to do. That to do anything else would somehow be a betrayal of the self. That may be true for her, but it does not make her an…

Oh, I got it: “Ant Men & The Wasps”. You’re welcome. [drops notepad on table, walks out of room, gets lunch]

It lives!

This one is also unreleased.

Oh that’s nothing. This one cost $150 million... in 2010! It’s still in production!

OMG.

I think we might be able to #snydercut that into existence! Someone call Josh Boone!

“I’m sorry you’re not smart enough to understand Joker.”

The fact that we live in a world where this is actually getting made is part of what fuels my fear that Trump can simply bluff, lie, and whine his way into a successful coup. Self-aggrandizing hacks and their leagues of rabid know-nothing stans have a way of screaming bullshit into reality these days.

I absolutely love when movies sit up on the shelf for umpteen months/years for unclear studio reasons. It’s such a fun guessing game! Alas, if they ever do get released, it usually turns out that the answer to the question was: “it sucked” (New Mutants, etc.) Really, it’s almost more fun to sit back and wonder at the…

What excited me about it is that Spawn is kind of the last great unexploited comic. So that seemed like an amazing opportunity.

Confused, didn’t The Outsider, which I dug, end at a place where it in no way required a second season? I was under the impression it was a miniseries with an only mildly ambiguous ending. Was I wrong here?

Genuinely liked this frothy, sugary pastry of a movie.
