I think it’s just Disney being Disney and they want to monopolize as many theaters as often as possible. Along the lines of what you’re saying, SW doesn’t really lend itself to the minor miracle they’ve pulled off with the MCU; they should just stick with what works and keep SW to one movie a year.

No worries; I was lazy and couldn’t be bothered to look up what the exact title of that sequel was.

Disney does this practically every year: they get greedy(ier) and try to dump one blockbuster too many in the crowded late spring/summer season and it ends up flat at the box office. Remember Tomorrowland? That Alice in Wonderland remake? The last Pirates of the Caribbean movie?

All of these movies have their own…

Hey, the romaine is good again (for now)!

Personally, I first saw it mentioned on Clashtalk a few months ago and then did a bit of digging from there:

Look, what he REALLY needs to answer for is making me think people are talking about Paul F. Tompkins whenever I see the name “PFT Commenter.”

Relax; I’m not saying this some kind of unforgivable sin or massive hypocrisy on Deadspin’s part; it’s just odd that they’ve so intentionally ignored a guy who has had his share of shitty/questionable writing and behavior before, during and after his time with Deadspin. to the point that they’ve deleted a bunch of…

Which is why it’s odd, IMO, that they seem to not want to bring up Howard at all yet (rightly) have zero problem shitting all over Travis for being an awful person. Howard sucks, and it’s weird that Deadspin has been radio silent about him when they’ve had no problem going after people who have worked for them in the…

Going with, “she’s written about how they’re a bunch of harassing, shithead dudebros, so can you really blame them when they treat her like a bunch of harassing, shithead dudebros,” is an impressively bold and spicy take.

Oh, I get what you’re saying, but even then the difference, IMO, is the the Burton films fully embrace their weirdness and excess. There’s no winking or tongue in cheek or anything along those lines; that’s just the screwed up, absurd world everything is happening in and everyone is committed. You’re right that the…

The best Danzig will forever be CLEANING UP MOTHERFUCKING BRICKS OFF OF HIS FRONT LAWN-Danzig:

For me, B&R’s main feeling is specifically in how it’s trying to be or emulate the 60's show, and just completely drops the ball in doing so. One of the biggest problems is casting that era’s Clooney as Batman/Bruce Wayne; he plays the whole thing like he’s in on the joke, and the beauty of the 60's series is that…

There’s zero chance this kid wanted an Iron Cross because of its pre-Nazi Prussian history, and you damn well know it. Things like the ribbon details doesn’t mean he’s a history buff or inexplicably ducking the painfully obvious Nazi reference of wearing an Iron Cross in 2018; it just means all he cared about was…

Lucas’ thought process for hiring the director for RotJ was so odd. He starts off trying to hire Cronenberg or Lynch...and then ends up settling for a guy known mostly for directing British TV. Like, how does your director search swing THAT wildly from one extreme to the other?

“Shit, people might be annoyed if we fire her because for some reason LeBron will be on the Bucks at some point and will want it to happen. Better just play it safe and go with Vinny Del Negro instead.”

So they should think twice about hiring her in the off chance that they decide they want to fire her at the behest of the greatest basketball player of all time a la Blatt? Again, people “worried” about the same thing when we started finally having black head coaches, and yet, miraculously, we live in a word where PoC…

If she is absolutely horrendous as a coach, then she’ll eventually get fired for it, and that will be that. Contrary to your other examples trying to justify an excuse to not make a woman a head coach, we’re talking about a business where you literally have a win-loss record to determine how well a team does with you…

“I Honestly Thought White People Were Better Than This”

Yeah, I’ve come to really enjoy AP Bio, and am more than a little bit baffled as to how “meh” the response is here, while something like the spectacularly mediocre Superstore has inexplicably been described more than once like it’s one of the best sitcoms on right now.
