It also plays for hours every single day on Disney XD. I love the show, but that channel would make you think that it, Amphibia, and Big City Greens are the only 3 cartoons Disney has ever made.

It really feels like the show was pitched as a yellowstone meets x. So you can't really blame the reviewer.   

I think it’s hard to come up with a good synonym, but I did read a few other reviews who were like “no one was really anticipating it, but we were seeing the trailer for a super long time so that’s the best word to use.” 

It’s a common accent in the UK

i don’t think it’s so much that it’s distracting as much as something that people can point at and go ‘we know this is fake’ and feel like they know something. 

“Oh bollocks.”

I’m probably biased, because for a large part of my life I’ve battled the kinds of loneliness and isolation felt by, and expressed through Michelle and Conrad, but I’m rather interested to see where this series goes, because I think it could have some important things to say.  I don’t condone what Michelle did, but I…

A factionalized version of the story (tastelessness aside) could make for an interesting 80-minute movie, a boring 110 minute movie, or a bonkers 150 minute movie. At 8 hours they might as well commit to doing the story in real time. 

I wondered about Lolita too, but when I went back to check, they did specifically say “mainstream sexuality” so that’s probably why.

Well don’t just GIVE them the headlines!

I always hated that this ride made me sit through TWO different presentations, one about the beginning of the Earth, and one about oil, before I got to see fricking dinosaurs.

I think it’s this weird thing the internet does where like, all bad things are equally bad. A couple of actors taking a paid gig to shill for fossil fuels a few decades ago? Somehow equally as bad as overt racism and anti-semitism.

Except he paid his animators well above the industry average at the time and offered generous incentive bonuses. Not everyone was happy with this system, because it definately benefitted some more than others, but that hardly made Disney an “exploiter”. 

My father was an Exxon executive tangentially involved with the creation of this ride. Don’t @ me, the family divested our stock long ago and I drive an EV. The gossip I have is that Ellen was a last minute replacement for Tim Allen, who had originally been signed for the gig until Exxon got wind of his cocaine bust.…

He was a member of an organization that later expressed some anti-Semitic comments, but he had already distanced himself from it by then.

Considering that this ride closed several years ago, and there’s a brutal war going on right now, we can’t even blame this on a slow news day. Why, exactly, is this coming up now?

And clean oil! Don’t forget that the ride was funded by Exxon. Also, while the ride itself dates back to 1982, the Ellen/Nye version only dates to 1996. It wasn’t all bad -- it also features Alex Trebek back when he looked like Alex Trebek -- you know, with the Tom Selleck mustache.

Oh, I won’t argue that Dressed to Kill (and Body Heat - and maybe Cruising) kicked off the 80s Golden Age. And I won’t argue that DePalma isn’t/wasn’t technically gifted - but I will die on the hill that DePalma is a master of pastiche first, filmmaking second. 

What would you prefer to see employees do?

The Boys is one of the best things on TV, but it’s one of the worst comics Ennis has ever written, IMHO. His Hellblazer, Hitman, Preacher, Punisher Max etc are all brilliant.
