You lost me at “Ben Platt.”

despite that it could be too much, the trailer has me optimistic about this. Plus Jimmy Tatro is very funny, and Molly Gordon just had a triumph in The Bear (her “you’re the bear and I know you” will be the new “the shins will change your life” or “I’m listening to There Is a Light and it Never Goes Out” for some…

Are... Are you calling me the “woke mob?”

Goldenloin also has a codpiece in the comic, and Nimona shapeshifts into a news reporter at one point to make a joke about how he’s “compensating for something”.

One of the only upsides to this being released on streaming instead of in theatres is that there’s apparently closeted queer kids watching this away from…

Eh, it’s really not all that much of a departure from the ordinary, though.

Lin Manuel Miranda only wrote music for Moana and Encanto (and additional lyrics for live action Little Mermaid at Alan Menken’s request). He didn’t write Let It Go and he didn’t write the music for Wish, their upcoming release. He wrote the music for Vivo which is an underrated Sony release, but that’s about it for…

That’s a lot of words to devote to a movie AVC chose not to review.

I wouldn’t participate in the conversation. Yep I talked to the people I know who had already watched those shows.

Me too. I’d rather parcel out episodes over a week or two, watching one episode a night. I wish streamers would also realize that there are other options besides “put everything on at once” and releasing once a week. They could release one episode per day, or two episodes a week and that might provide a compromise…

The reviews/recaps here barely matter any more but when they did, the binge shows never had many comments because they could never figure out the pace to put up reviews. If they’re all at once people would only comment on the first or last episodes and if it’s spaced out they aren’t going to be at pace with viewers.

See MosquitoControl’s response.

I’m a fan of releasing 2 (or even 3) eps in the first week and then a week-to-week release. I do like the option of having 2 episodes to watch in the queue. All at once is too much pressure, especially for someone who reads entertainment review sites and those sites feel a need to review every single episode as…

But if one viewer decides to binge it all, and the other watches two episodes, those two can't discuss. That's a real detriment to the show. It hurts its ability to become a cultural dialogue.

Nothing. The joy isn’t watching it once per week. The joy is being able to discuss it with other people and knowing exactly how much they’ve watched. That it becomes communal in a way a binge doesn’t.

It’s the email, social media etc..that keep popping up with articles that you have to try to avoid.  I wanted to finish it up so I could get the takes on what others thought.

I don’t understand what’s stopping anybody from talking about a great show weeks and months later, either.

I understand the reasoning behind this opinion, though I still marvel at people’s ability to watch more than one or two episodes of anything in a day.

I’ve been saying this forever—-I hate the Netflix (and similar streaming services) model of dumping every episode all at once. Its especially irritating when a AAA release like Stranger Things is released — you have to avoid any and all media sites (and twitter/SM sites) on the off chance that somebody is going to…

The “underage fan” in question is unquestionably gay, so she was obviously not sexually grooming him. She used questionable judgement by conversing with teens in the same way she would have conversed with adults (I guess, although nothing I’ve read would have been particularly shocking for a teen to hear). She…

I love stop motion animation with a passion but there’s an emotional response to traditional hand-drawn animation that matches and possibly even exceeds that of even live action. It’s a crying shame that Richard Williams never got to do a feature fantasy film. Check out this short film he made toward the end of his…
