So it is true: the commentariat’s sense of humor was sacrificed in the Kinja transition.

Given that it was a sequel to a huge hit, my guess is studio interference would have probably broken Jonze.

Did anyone ask Harberts why no one picked up on the fact that the abbreviation for the show is ST:D?

To my knowledge, Jr. had no interest in the U-Dub job when it was open.

It would be one thing if Ava Duvernay or Patty Jenkins had been in the running and they gave it to Michael Bay instead, but they’re already in production and Bay is obviously familiar with the material, so not sure what the issue is here.
