I don’t know, using twitter as some sort of global metric....just seems like “how twitter feels” of a loudly vocal small subset of passionate people without having to deal with consequences of what they want. Imagine a world where every important decision was made by twitter polls. <shudder>

Because the writing in the anime show isn’t that great?

He should’ve come back like the original Monkey’s Paw short story...as a terribly desiccated corpse...but otherwise still the exact character. Even the 80's clothing montage. 

As long as the plot includes something original like a star or a moon  or something that can destroy planets, I’m good.

I’ve gotten the feeling many seasons ago that since everyone loves the “timey wimey” bit from Blink, that Doctor Who has essentially become 40 minutes of “timey wimey” exposition interspersed with running from place to place, where nothing needs to be logically explained beyond goofy eccentric techobabble.

I would like to see where you get your stats regarding 30% more work done in less time, please.

Iguess I have to ask now, do you find the original cast video recordings that they play on PBS  of Les Mis cringe worthy, or Hamilton?

No I agree with that, I was just remarking that the world was pretty much old Stagey Musicals, then WSS showed another way to reconceptulize how a filmed musical could be done, than we kind of went back to Stagey Musicals until Moulin Rouge came out and everyone went "what the hell did i just watch".

I’d be less bothered by “omg the sky is falling covid” reports if the idea was to help get people to change their minds to get vaccinated and wear masks. I’m more annoyed by following the reports with “and now, here’s a prominent anti-vaxxer in studio to ell us how vaccinations are an indoctrination on your freedoms…

Actually, the live televised version of Grease was/is pretty amazing. For my money, unlike most of the live musicals we get on a yearly basis which are pretty much just “let’s stage the play and shoot it with cameras”, it created a blueprint of how to create a brand new hybrid live/television production of using the…

At one point, TCM did a weekend/evening of all the big musicals of the ( late 50s to early 60s) time period, in chronological order. I’ve always really liked it, but in that comparative setting, you realize how innovative and forward-thinking the ‘61 version actually is, compared to how stodgy musicals on that era are.

Go watch “Barb Wire”.

Ultimately, everyone kind of understands that the Mandalorian is essentially a spaghetti western to begin with ( or at least they SHOULD understand that ).

One of the more interesting things I’ve learned is from recently watching Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. And realizing that for all practical purposes, is that it’s not a Western.   It’s more about two guys wandering around a world that’s been heavily scarred by war. If you compiled a list of 10 western movie plotline tr…

Actually I'm fine with keeping it a "we do not talk about that with outsiders" kind of thing.

I find it very well done, and I’m glad I watched it, and that smart sci-fi can exist ....but like Blade Runner 2049.....I don’t think I’ll ever watch it again.

The scabbard also carries the Ronin switchblade, the Ronin fork, and Ronin chopsticks.

How much of that money goes into the business, versus original investors

Guy who is worth $300 billion dollars: Sorry, I can’t keep the doors open unless you work weekends.

I don’t know...it’s an 80s John Hughes teen rom-com flick. $40k in 80's dollars for 2.5 months of work for an unknown actor is a pretty good deal, especially considering that they were meant to be relatively cheaply made, with a total budget of $5 million dollars. Especially back then, no one really expected a movie…
