But is THE MORNING SHOW really that successful, wrightstuff76? I know it got four Emmy nominations (all cast members) and one win, for Billy Crudup as Best Supporting Actor, and Anniston won a SAG Award as Best Actress.

That’s — madness!
Really! So far, Apple TV+ is more like “Dad TV+” — their most successful projects are Greyhound (an acquisition from The God of Dad TV, Tom Hanks), TED LASSO (which stars Jason Sudeikis as May Just as Well Be Tom Hanks), and FOR ALL MANKIND (which looks just like a show Tom Hanks would be Executive Producing and/or…
Another book by Diana Wynne Jones might clarify matters there — The Tough Guide to Fantasyland (https://www.amazon.com/Tough-Guide-Fantasyland-Essential-Fantasy/dp/0142407224), a hilarious and sharply satiric “guide book” that skewered fantasy clichés mercilessly.

Yes, I remembered there was a “Cheerleader Heist Movie”, but I didn’t remember the name, Dacoser1!
And once again, as people go on about who “ripped off” that Transphobic Garbage Fire J.K. Rowling, I feel the need to remind everyone that Rowling herself ripped off Diana Wynne Jones’s WORLDS OF CHRESTOMANCI (https://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Chrestomanci-Diana-Wynne-Jones/dp/B000MAM9OS), the first four books of which…
I remember it actually being fun to read — and, even as a nice Christian teenager, I didn’t see much that both “fun” and “church-approved”.
Well, I used to watch PROJECT RUNWAY, and my wife and her friends watch SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE — and otherwise? Reality TeeVee gives me nausea....
It had a season order, but COVID hit, and they cancelled the show rather than wait it out.
STATION 19, THE ROOKIE, BLACKISH...and I’m out.
OMG! John Cleese as Screwtape?
Janet, The Screwtape Letters is actually one of Lewis’s best books — probably because he was writing about a Senior Demon of Hell “schooling” his junior demon nephew, it was really witty and occasionally disturbing, in that way that a smartass kid who went to a strict boarding school would talk about his experiences…
C.S. Lewis wasn’t atheist — he was devoutly Church of England!
Funny thing is, I never read the Narnia books — instead, I read Lewis’s Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, That Hideous Strength). The first two were readable, the last was...I don’t know what Lewis thought he was doing, but it was a royal mess to me!
Jason Isaac’s Gabriel Lorca thinks that’s a CAPITAL idea!

Oh, Gods — Zack Snyder’s moved over to Marvel....
Let me take a moment to reiterate just how much I hate Kinja as a commenting platform....
Laserface1242, did you ever hear Carrie Fisher’s one-woman show where she talked about the aftermath of doing the original STAR WARS trilogy? She joked that every time she looked in a mirror, George Lucas got fifty cents!
