Correction, the stoppage so far has cost the studios more than *3 years* of the new demands would cost (the length of a contract). But the studios know once you win something in a labor negotation it becomes the new baseline and never goes away. The producers are thinking of what these demands will cost over a century,…

Head honchos at companies just need to pay more to writers and other hard working staff rather than giving themselves 50 million dollar raises. It’s that simple. Rich keep getting richer and middle class and poor just keep ending up poorer. All these higherups making money off the backs of cheap labor. Morality at…

To be clear, I’m not saying Bill Murray isn’t an absolute piece of shit a lot of the time, or even most of the time. Just that I don’t really get down with the secondary-level “denounce this person immediately!” vibe that tends to arise whenever someone’s accused of something bad — or even, in this case, turns out to…

Personally, I’m inclined to not judge people too harshly for not immediately denouncing people who are clearly close friends in their personal lives merely because the internet hordes are baying for them to do so. Leaving aside the fact that it’s easy to forget that we only really know these people through AV Club…

I completely believe Robert Downey Jr. when he says that Mel Gibson helped him during the lowest points of his life and helped him get sober.

But how do they analyze the validity of what they find? Say I’m going to be the next big Marvel villain, and they interview all my family, coworkers, and “associates.” First of all, how will that find every random guy I hooked up with over the past 20 years, and say they do locate one, and he says I did something I…

Presumably because the ability to act was also needed.

Obi-Wan could be any age though. He’s a wizard, and wizard classically live a supernaturally long time.

The “problem” the Jedi purge always had is that it was clearly initially set up in A New Hope as something that happened over a very long period of time, and the time were there were 100 000 Jedi in the galaxy is very far in the rear view mirror. It’s very much a fantasy concept of lost golden age.

This series is so weird.

Reminds me of Our Dumb World grouping Minnesota in with Alaska and Hawaii as “the bullshit states.”

I think it’s finally time we all agree it’s time to blame Canada.  

Most Broadway shows go on at 8PM on Wednesdays. I imagine we will be hearing a lot more of this in the coming hour or two. I’ve heard of a few shows already cancelling their performances. Even if the theaters have supposedly installed better filtration systems as a result of the pandemic all these theaters have huge do…

Gotta disagree with Linda here; if this ends up being closer to Lois & Clark in tone it’ll be a nice change of pace to the usual world-ending stakes of the movies. I’m definitely giving this a go. 

So it’s an heroic sacrifice, and since we’re dealing with gods prophecies, she’s clearly going to be back sooner than later? Business as usual then, and at least she has some agency.

You can just not like it without insinuating that it’s only stupid sheep who do.

I guess I’m the odd man out in liking season 2 better than season 1. I though the overall serialization was much smoother, I cared more about the characters, and the overarching plotline made a bit more sense. ‘Monster of the week’ format is fun enough, but it doesn’t really add anything to a streaming show (versus…

Please GOD can they just recast. The zombie face is fine for 2 minutes max, it's just gross otherwise. Imagine if the Paramount+ Trek shows had digital young Shatner-it'd be awful!
