Goddamnit. Bad enough that he joins the now disturbingly long list of hip-hop pioneers to die in their early 50s, but going just before they were finally able to see streaming revenue from their back catalog is insult on top of injury.

The production got licensed to an external company: “Bad Wolf Entertainment” which is funded by Sony among others.

AVClub: *posts long article hyping up the next season of Doctor Who*

Other way around, I’m pretty sure: all homonyms (words that are spelled the same) are homophones (words that sound the same) but not all homophones are homonyms. In this case “cue” and “queue” have the same pronunciation (homophonous), different spellings (non-homonymous) and different meanings (non-synonymous).

“queue” and “cue” are homophones but not homonyms and have rather distinct meanings unless you actually meant that Poker Face is standing physically in line behind Columbo.

So wait. Did... did the twitter meme about casting Natasha Lyonne in a reboot of Columbo basically happen?!

I... had never actually watched that movie. Should I? It seemed unlikely from the trailers that I should, but now I’m at least moderately intrigued.

Stopped doing solo work, apparently in a band called “The Basics” now, mostly active in Australia.

I mean maybe I’m projecting but the trailer really does seem to be hinting strongly.  Is America ready for the first poly romcom?  I live in hope!  Cringey middle-aged polyamorists should have representation in this genre too!  (Note: I mean this unironically.)

I’m pulling for “the three of them live happily ever after.”

So nice of them to give us the traditional second season before summarily cancelling the show.

is... is 2023 going to actually be good?

I will never be against Rosario Dawson getting regular work, but Andor set a standard that is going to be very, very hard for any of the rest of the SW shows to reach and it’s hard to be optimistic.

Since I was a little worried that the Power Girl-esque boob window shirt was actually going to be the costume (much though I would have had to salute RTD for having the biggest balls in the universe if that had actually turned out to be the case) I’m delighted with this.  The basic Doctor vibe has pretty much always…

One of my favorite bits of comic book industry lore is how back in the late 80s Warner came within an eyeblink of selling off DC comics to Marvel, and it only didn’t happen because Marvel/Cadence got scared of (I am not making this up) antitrust issues.

I wonder if Zaslav got screwed by rising interest rates?  The original plan might well have been to just keep rolling over the debt indefinitely, and as long as you could borrow at 1% interest that might have even worked.  A very different ball game at 7.5%
