The trailers for this feel like the series interrogates the Kyle Rittenhouse mindset, not validates it.

They buy “burner” phones from small electronics stores where they don’t have to show ID and can pay with cash, of course!

What? You don’t want Peele’s next movie in 8K at 120 frames/second, with 2.76:1 Ultra Panavision 7o aspect ratio so it looks like a Very Long Soap Opera?

This was hilarious — thank you, as it covers nearly all the problems I have with ST:ID, and anything TREK Abrams, Orci or Kurtzman touches by extension.

I disagree that Starfleet wasn’t always a military organization, Oarfish Met Me, but they were closer to NASA than to Navy SEALS, and weaponry aside prosecuting wars wasn’t their primary aim. Police work might have been among them, though....

Or maybe it’s just that everything is so exciting that we’re not really supposed to think about any of this. It’s been the show’s m.o. almost from the start: an emphasis on whiz-bang thrill ride and broad emotional beats over thoughtful world-building and character development.

To be fair, it’s not “The Best”, it’s “The Biggest Newsmakers” — and it’s hard to deny that finding out Armie Hammer would love to have you for dinner is a story!

I don’t know about “Best” - “Most Significant”, maybe?

Also mocking Eisenhower to his face.

While Dracula: Dead and Loving It is far and away Brooks’s weakest movie, it’s got a few laughs in it — Leslie Nielsen’s Dracula rising out of his coffin and bonking his head on a low beam, or wearing a mockery of Oldman’s Old Dracula hair only it’s his hat.

WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?

That’s why I think STAR TREK: THE LOWER DECKS is the best NuNuTREK series, CookingWithCranston. The stakes are rarely high, the ship and crew (while capable) are decidedly second- or third-string (which the ship’s name, registry number and class make abundantly clear!), and the main characters are a bunch of ensigns…

You are a cynical and suspicious man, insect overlord....

I noticed the word “transitioning” being mentioned so I think this could be some sort of transgender metaphor going on. That’s just my guess. 

Poor Jones. He gives killer performances and the writers’ solution is to demote him on Discovery, lol.

Holy shit, I was just listening to an interview with Lin-Manuel Miranda about Tick, Tick...Boom! where he was talking about Sondheim supporting Jonathan Larson, and how Sondheim asked Miranda if he could rewrite his message to Larson that appears at the end of the film! Miranda was talking about his own admiration for…

Is “The Occidental Racist” the sequel to THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST?

Who thought we needed a redemption arc for this Matt Lauer-inspired character?

Yeah, at least enough to recognize the original movie and a couple of the sequels as dumb fun rollercoaster rides. Paul W.S. Anderson may not be a great filmmaker, but he’s a cracking genre specialist — I even liked (kind of) his clockpunk version of The Three Musketeers, despite it having zip-diddly to do with…

Please tell me you’re kidding that Doom got that big a budget for what looked like a Roger Corman Special....
