Potter adults are still a thing just like Star Wars adults are still a thing or Disney adults are still a thing. The books are still best sellers on Amazon, and tons of merchandise is sold at stores, even stores that focus on nothing but Potter stuff, and most of that stuff is targeted at adults with lots of cash, not…

Hmmm, people who liked something a lot 25 years ago have grown up and still like it a lot. Go figure?

Thanks for the details. I AM a Guy Ritchie fan, so I will check the film out for sure.

So just a bit unclear... you mention this is a “spin off”. So is it a different set of characters in the same universe? Or the movie retold as a series? I did not see the original film.

I agree that Chani does go from interesting strong female character when he meets her to almost invisible for the rest of the time. I will be seeing this soon and to be fair, I enjoyed the first one and have heard only positive about the second one. Will have to see how it comes together when I actually view it.…

Sure. But essentially, in the books anyway, he never really “accepts” his destiny. He sort of develops an internal attitude of “Holy shit everyone, this does not end with the glorious defeat of the Harkonnens. It keeps going on to a unstoppable slaughter of trillions.” But no one else has his increasingly “perfect”…

It works. Through Chani’s eyes, we see Paul for who he truly is: a man as power-hungry as the rest of them.

Yeah, that part appears to be made up by the writer of this article.

I know you are joking, but if you actually think about it, does he? That flight is taking that route and spewing that carbon regardless of him being on it or not.

Why would he get killed for this? This comes more down to: boss is being a dickhead, other cops know the chief is a dickhead. No one there is defending the chief and is just watching the cop yell at the chief. Because they all also know he is a dickhead. End of story.

I am now just a little bit sad that we did not get the Niles/Frasier Theater series.

Weird that we are getting a reboot, but we car keeping side characters made up for the Reeves era movies.

From the comments on here I see I am in the minority, but while I like both shows, I do significantly prefer the UK version. That is a comedy group that has been together for a while and play off of each other much better (and I think it is kind of fun that the same actors who play the main house ghosts in the UK…

Yes, I know. It was not a public thing. Biden and his team were considering a run. Obama made is pretty clear that he aligned much more strongly with Clinton and his team worked in the background to help her lay the groundwork to be the nominee. There was a lot of resentment over it for a long time. As it became clear…

He made mincemeat of the rest of the candidates in the primary last time.

So is this list in reverse? Dunkin’ was easily one of the best ones (yes Matt is the best thing in it). And Christopher Walken should be higher than 10.

It does make you wonder in this case if they are afraid of comparisons to Chenoweth and Menzel this early in the marketing. Elphaba’s is pretty taxing particularly.

Yep, I do, but thanks. I am not saying I agree with her. As I said multiple times, I assume she will lose this case pretty easily. Actors and the press report on this sort of thing as firing all the time, even if they are wrong.

Ehh, counterpoint... This looks like most of the rest of the stuff in Grand Tour. Something to watch while not taking any sort of serious focus, some chuckles here and there, and a chance once again to see these three bounce off of each other. My wife and I will be there.

Yes, I understand. But in the end the choice of words is a matter of perspective. If this is a typical talent contract arrangement, it was probably set up as something like “You agree to be available for X number of episodes per season, for X number of seasons, for X amount per episode, renewed annually. Disney…
