I certainly agree that I don’t need to see a reboot of any franchise that was successful in the last couple decades. But there is a value to telling an extended story over several movies - and plenty of book series out there with great material! I’d love to see a new film franchise emerge but again so many good…

I certainly believe that was true for 3 body problem but would have liked to see a higher budget take for Expanse. They could easily carve books into more than one movie if needed, that's what Dune did...

AApologies I should have said the last movie reboots were dead. There certainly have been many paramount + shows since then!

For some time now I’ve been discussing with friends what exactly is going to happen with movies now that so many longstanding franchises are past their prime. Marvel, Warner and superheros generally seem to have gone as far as they can go, Star Wars seems to be focused on streaming, Star Trek is dead, James Bond needs…

Every article about K-cups always results in coffee purists who clearly do not own one foaming at the mouth. Is it the best coffee you’ve ever had? Of course not. But it’s certainly convenient, and refillable pods as well as compostable ones have been widely available for quite some time. I use metal refillable pods an…

It saddens me that the main result of this expose seems to be more discussion of Dan Schneider, who already was severed from Nickelodeon. While the series also spends a lot of time on him, it did show how completely children have been exploited by the entertainment industry. How many things have to fail for a…

I actually ended up reading an article by a doctor who specializes in treating hypothermia - apparently people go into a hibernation mode and can be revived with the right equipment, but the arm breaking thing was completely impossible. So I was partially right!

And didn’t this used to be called a bar area basically? Bar carts and wet or dry bars with wine storage have been a thing for years.

The laziness and plot holes of Argylle’s script are actually offensive in their contempt for the audience. In what universe would a secret organization try to maintain its secrecy by having a series of bestselling “novels” published? If Elly/Rachel has been so thoroughly Manchurian Candidated that she can easily be…

“Spy with amnesia” is a trope that is basically a cliche at this point - in addition to Long Kiss Goodnight, there’s the whole Bourne Identity franchise. Rarely has it been done as poorly as in Argylle though!

There is literally no possible way someone would still be alive in that situation. If your extremities have frozen so solid your arm can be snapped in two as easily as a piece of celery, you are dead, end of story.

I’d nominate School of Rock, a much better show than many of the others on here. Beetlejuice also has a incredibly rabid fan base and is. . . fine. Other than that there is a LOT of dreck out there, speaking as a survivor of the King Kong, Bring It On, Tootsie and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musicals. Ugh, and I…

This reminds me of the stories about hobos making meals out of the crackers, ketchup and hot water at the Automat during the Great Depression. However, nachos in a bag are clearly way better than ketchup soup so we actually have progressed as a nation!

Very disappointed not to see scrapple on the list. Adds that bacony crunch with richness from the liver or whatever else is in there (I figure it’s better not to know!).

Plus if having a little less money slowed down his drug use for a few days, he’s honestly better off. As was the porter in his building who I hope found that money and spent it on something nice for the family!

I see you are not a fan of Real Housewives - an entire genre of content that allows folks to feel smug and superior to people who have way more money than them (or at least pretend to). Stories like this aren’t about feeling compassion for celebrities - the more common response is to think “wow, I’m not famous and I…

The Sally wig stuff really annoyed me. It’s not hard to spot a wig especially if you see someone every day. Meanwhile, few adults are truly blonde and it’s likely that the actress dyes her hair to begin with. Anyone on the run and concerned about being recognized would color their hair rather than wear a wig 24x7.

Let’s also not forget that she was actively trying to bury him once he was forced to lower the boom on her about her audition tape, so there is bad blood between them.

He’s in his 20s at this point still isn’t he? No board in the world is going to put a 20-something with a few years of experience as an assistant in charge of a multibillion dollar conglomerate. What good looks like for Greg is getting a halfway decent position in Parks, as he kept requesting, or Gregging for whoever…

In my experience living in the deep blue UWS of Manhattan, liberal parents are just as concerned about their kids’ physical safety as anyone else - kids in my neighborhood are never left alone, their moms can go full Karen over who’s teaching them, what they’re eating, etc. The real differences seem to be about what…
