The CW is owned by WarnerMedia, a company that made $33bn in 2018. Why the hell does one of its employees need GoFundMe support for a workplace accident?

Hm, I’ve little interest in John Wick either (thought the first one was okay), but judging by online buzz, tons of liberals love that franchise. And the whole point of an exploitation flick with a premise as naughty as this one is to make a cheap movie that’ll still turn a profit even if it pokes half the country in…

Still vastly more believable than left-wing elites using guns and hunting for sport when most of them look down at both activities as being fundamentally beneath them.

Nope; I wrote that it “could” have been great with the ideological sides flipped, not that it necessarily “would” have been. But, regardless of other factors, starting with the premise they did probably doomed it outright. Thanks for playing!

It’s not the obviousness of such a premise that would be the impediment to said movie; it’s the cowardice of the prospective filmmakers, and maybe the distaste of the more right-leaning financiers. Hollywood liberals tend to be loathe to get properly aggressive, let alone nasty: see the kid-gloves treatment of the Fox…

Meh, I never saw any contemporary American left/right coding in The Hunger Games. Not when the Capital crowd was so heavily coded as Versailles-era French aristocrats.

“Considering there’s now approximately 70 billion streaming services, I think not knowing about them is the thing I would like to most share” - Oh, for Pete’s sake, enough with this smarmy, self-cherishing simpering of a house style from the AV io9 Club. Streaming services allow you to beam incredible works of art…

Sounds like this could have been a great, biting thriller had the filmmakers had the nerve to make the hunters right-wingers and the prey liberals, with the formidable Betty Gilpin starring. Heck, she could still have played a Southern woman. Maybe even make the liberals specifically pro-choice activists/abortion…

It is indeed tough, and obviously nothing like the Fyre scam, but I tend to side with people over for-profit corporations, no matter how well-intentioned. SXSW isn’t providing a promised service, so they should refund ticket buyers; if they go under, let the bankruptcy courts sort it out. Sometimes businesses fail for…

Is that even legal? Why didn’t Ja Rule think of that?

Have they fixed the aspect ratio yet?

I’m not a coward; I’ve just never been tested.

“But it’s written by a woman...so?” Doesn’t prove anything. The five listed executive producers appear to be guys; it could have been a guy’s idea a woman was tasked with scripting.

You forgot to mention Amazon’s 2017 Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams series!

Bravo!

You’re probably joking, but I don’t think the Emperor would be big on enthusiastic consent...

Whew, thank goodness Disney is being careful to sand any edges, however obliquely implied, off of its villains. We wouldn’t want to think of evil space sorcerers as vile or anything.

Christ, if the review is this boring, I hate to think how soporific the show must be. :P

Finally, a movie about people hitting other people in the head for entertainment and sport!

“author E. L. James deserves to be commended for turning sexy Twilight fan-fiction into a reasonably big and successful multimedia career” - What? No. Why? Maybe you meant she ought to be congratulated, as in, one would express sympathetic pleasure at her success, rather than commended, as in praised for the quality…
