Yeah, I am definitely confused by the “Dakota Johnson is good, actually” argument that is going around.

Having watched one of the versions on YouTube, I can say that’s a pretty bad movie but not without its charms.

It’s like one of those wavy things they have at used car lots. 

This is going to be a glorious mess and I am here for it. 

Then Yellowstone 20,000 BC, so we can have caveman cowboys roping woolly mammoths. 

Oh yeah, great episode. The ending is chilling. 

Same. For the late aughts and much of the teens, these were some of my favorite sites on the web to read and to comment on. I’m sad to see the comment sections drawing to a close. 

Plus the puzzle box doesn’t hold together at all. Why do they need to wear oxygen tanks and gas masks when they go back in time the first time, but never at any other point? If you aren’t going to follow the rules you set up, then what are you doing? Plus an absolutely atrocious sound mix, where Nolan heard all the…

Someone on Twitter quipped that this was going to be the film version of the poster that’s in every dorm room. Sounds like he nailed it.

Remember a couple years ago, when there was a concerted effort by his publicity team to sell him as a more sensitive action star? He was in touch with his feminine side and all that? I remember an interview to that effect on NPR. Yeah, that all aged well. He was just trying to get ahead of the inevitable shoes…

Oh, I hated Cutter so much. Just so over the top arrogant with none of McCoy’s charm. I’d root for him to lose every case. 

Yeah, Burn Notice was one of my favorite “turn it on when there’s nothing else on cable” type shows and he was really good in it. He was just awful in this, with no chemistry and a terrible accent. 

Completely agree on Anderson. Of all the cast members you could’ve brought back, you picked him?

As you mentioned, the main problem with the reboot of L&O is the dreadful writing. There’s no zing, the actors have negative chemistry, and the plots are all deadly dull. There are no twists anymore, literally a couple of episodes were “security camera footage shows this suspect doing it. Let’s go get him.” Where are…

The reasoning behind the shelving of Batgirl was that it was never intended to be released. It was meant to be an HBO Max exclusive. Zaslav calculated that it wouldn’t get enough new subscribers and it was too niche to release theatrically, so they would make the most revenue by killing it and getting the tax…

Adam Driver is a wonderful host, but I am begging SNL to stop doing political cold opens. They haven’t been good since Tina Fey was doing Sarah Palin. They aren’t even good impressions anymore. They’re just dire, especially since this focused on a congressional showboating hearing most people didn’t follow.

Same. I’ve had HBO since 1999, and I let it lapse last month. I could not justify the $17 a month price tag for the ad free service then and get barraged with reality show crap. I’ll probably re-up next year to watch House of the Dragon, but I won’t keep it past that.

Also getting the axe, as reported by Deadline: adult animated comedies Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall, as well as live-action comedy-drama Glamorous. Aside from Shadow and Bone, which has had two seasons, these shows are all ending after just one installment.

They’re just pile-driving one of the most respected brands in the business straight into the ground. I was a subscriber to HBO since 1999, but I let my subscription to it lapse because they wanted $17 a month for ad-free service. I might renew it when House of the Dragon returns, but it’s been real easy to live…

“Wizards just shat in the corner until muggles invented plumbing.” Yes, that’s some top-notch world building that no one asked for.
