pretty wild, the assertions of superiority that come from people too weak to use all the spices they stole

I just cannot for the life of me understand what they hope to achieve with this show.

Imean, I can understand what they hope to achieve, which is a second coming of Game of Thrones. But Wheel of Time didn’t manage it, nor Shadow & Bone, nor The Expanse, or any of the other big-budget genre adaptations. It’s entirely…

Hiddleston’s impressions are always painful, and made all the more so by the fact that he clearly thinks he’s some kind of Man Of A Thousand Voices type guy

between her long-term delusion of Spanish fluency and her complete inability to detect Joseph’s true parentage without Hank coming right out and saying it...I totally believe she’d go QAnon

can’t wait to find out that Peggy went full-blown QAnon, while Dale of all people shuns it as being entry-level conspiracy shit

As much as I enjoyed Boyd and think Goggins is a living national treasure, I actually hope we don’t get him. Their last scene in the show was such a beautiful coda to the ballad of Raylan and Boyd. I don’t need another verse, even if it’s just a reprise.

Almost any breaking news about a revival makes me shrug, but this...this has me downright giddy

I’m just gonna say it: white gay male actors are doing just fine. They are really and truly not hurting for roles. Andrew Rannells, Jonathan Groff, Dan Levy, NPH, Zachary Quinto, Jim Parsons, Ben Platt, Andrew Scott, Victor Garber, Matt Bomer, Ben Whishaw, Wentworth Miller, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, John Early...and…

As long as there’s one Musk for everyone to obsess over, they’ll continue to ignore all the Holmses and Kalanicks and Juicero boys

...you mean when he walked away from one of his signature jobs, apologized for the harm he caused while doing it, and in subsequent conversations doubled down on his desire to make amends for it?

There are actual bad people in Hollywood. Save your knives for them.

I got a That 70's Show notification for this?

IMO, the whole thing about blood purity really smacks more of British class commentary than American race commentary. I think there’s a reading of antiracism in it that you can definitely back up with text, but I don’t think it was necessarily her aim when she was writing it.

I saw a tweet to the effect of “The Star Wars sequels were about how Star Wars belongs to the fans. The Matrix Resurrections was about how the Matrix belongs to me, Lana Wachowski”

Yup. I feel the same way about the Wachowskis as I do about Shyamalan: protect their freedom to take big, weird swings at all costs

For me, the comparison isn’t about style; it’s about career arc. The point I was advancing above was that with a big mainstream scifi hit like The Matrix, one might expect the Wachowskis to behave more like Nolan or Cameron, and on that front they would be disappointed. But instead, they’re just about what they’re…

Carpenter sidebar: what two were you thinking? I’d personally put The Thing, Halloween, Escape From New York, and Big Trouble in Little China on the “stone cold classics” tier, and I’d at least consider a case for They Live and Assault on Precinct 13.

Respectfully, I disagree. The Wachowskis’ work has always been bugnuts and deeply personal, and one time it was hugely commercial basically by accident. The early aughts is littered with attempts to make a Matrix without them, and those movies–Equilibrium, Aeon Flux, UltraViolet, the Underworld series–have all aged…

The real problem with Amanda is that she makes Daniel look so much worse. He already feels pretty pathetic, but it only gets worse when she pops up to remind you that right, Daniel could just be having a nice life with her instead

I’ve only seen the first one, out of order and chopped to bits on cable. I’ve kept up just fine. I’m sure there are some deep cuts I’m missing, but every time something is the least bit unclear it just cuts to archive footage

What he actually said is that if there’s going to be any Daredevil presence moving forward, it’ll be Charlie Cox playing him. That doesn’t necessarily mean the Netflix show is canon. Maybe they’ll say the broad strokes are canon, but specific things aren’t. Or maybe it’s all completely canon, in which case it’s…
