Russian changelings?

EDIT: Oh wait no, I misread, this is The Prisoner. You’re describing something like The Prisoner. Or The Truman Show? Oh shit, this happens a lot, doesn’t it.

I mean, yeah, he was in it, but he wasn’t, like, a main character. Nobody wants to see “Jack the Lamplighter.”

I still think that Bughead was a mistake, because it closed us off from Jughead’s aversion to romance in the comics, which would have been a more interesting track for a teen romantic drama to take in the 2010s. These shows tend to revolve so much around sex and romance - the default state for a teenager to be in in…

Not just skipping it, but not having any thematic equivalent to it, which honestly completely destroys one of the key points of the story. Even if you don’t have the battle, you can do something. Just the bit where the hobbits come home and Sam finds that someone has cut down the Party Tree and just left it laying…

I’m a queer person (ace demipan) and I actually don’t think The Lord of the Rings is particularly gay. There is room in it for queerness certainly, but I always thought one of the things that makes the story so unique is the way that it normalizes tenderness in close male friendships. That’s something you don’t see a…

My family runs a catering business in Nashville. Things were already tough because the local Sysco warehouse was destroyed in the tornado. Now events across the city are canceling due to concerns over the coronavirus. I hope we can get by. 

I don’t think Angela getting the powers of a god are an unambiguously positive development. You’re supposed to be pondering what would happen if someone like Angela - who as you pointed out has been shown to make some very ethically dubious choices - was given that kind of power.

Originally, that role was played by Michael K. Williams, and he was going to be a crazy alien lion person, but he wasn’t available for reshoots, so they had to redo all of it - and they had no time for the effects, so they just gave Bettany some scars instead.

The biggest change I would make to Solo is adding another time jump. You have the time jump from when Solo joins the Empire to when he hooks up with Beckett’s crew. There then should have been another time jump, explaining that Solo spent some years running jobs with Beckett, before the events of the movie take place.

…

Other hot take: maybe he shouldn’t have apologized to Crenshaw specifically, because he is not a good man and deserves mockery, but when you make fun of somebody based off of physical factors outside of their control, you’re attacking not just them but other people that might have a similar issue but aren’t completely…

Doom Patrol is the best live-action DC show other than Watchmen, and it’s super confusing to me that it didn’t get more play on sites like this.

Sarah Snook as Sue Storm!

Don’t forget that it was also a quasi-reboot of H20.

Not just revenge porn, but arguably a form of assault as well. Not to mention they roofie’d him first.

Solo is legitimately one of the better Disney Star Wars movies, and is due for a reappraisal.

Also, I’ve always thought it’s silly that people bash on Solo as a concept (the origin story of a character who really doesn’t need one), and bash on all the fanservice of the sequels, and yet are apparently totally game for…

The reduced episode order could be a good thing, honestly. I don’t see how you could get 8 episodes on the thrilling story of how Obi-Wan became desert dwelling hermit Old Ben.

Ewan coming back is basically the only appealing thing about this prospect, and that would have diminishing returns over a season of…

It’s less about how he works than how he makes all of his employees who depend on him for their livelihood work.

Oh, I definitely prefer Rogue One and Solo to the sequels. Solo gets a bad rap, honestly, it’s a perfectly fine, fun adventure movie.

There’s just enough Return of the Jedi echoes to be cool without feeling like a rip-off. If you watch the video this is sourced from, the opening 15 minutes of the movie are a “team on a mission” scene that seems right out of RotJ, where the main cast is introduced one by one, in disguise. Rose and Poe are…

It was the same script as the final version, but Lord and Miller were reportedly pushing a lot of improv comedy into the movie and Kathleen Kennedy and the Kasdans were uncomfortable with the movie’s tone. At least that’s the impression I’ve got. It’s possible that their version of the movie wasn’t going well, and…
