meh in the same sense that Barack Obama and Donald Trump are both Baby Boomers, Millennial were simultaneously in their late 30s and in college ~3 years ago.

Really? I hear shitty 90s music CONSTANTLY. Like No Rain is played everywhere.

can the AV Club update all of Emily Van der Werfe’s old reviews to no longer use her deadname?

to be fair, if you went back 15 years and asked anyone in SE Michigan to describe the pizza from Buddy’s, nobody would say “oh you mean DETROIT STYLE pizza?”

Dobby had a whole manic pixie arc that they kind of subverted but also kind of didn’t? 

Veep is also, notably, not so much a remake of The Thick of It as a companion piece. The shows are structurally quite different, with Selina being a bigger presence than Hugh/Nicola and the lack of a Malcolm expy forcing Veep to a more ensemble style. TToI was also typically more news-y, clearly being about the Labour…

Prequels don’t HAVE to do that. See the LOTR series being worked on at Amazon that basically just uses the world as a sandbox or the KOTR games in the Star Wars universe.

The lack of a joke from Priceline is the punchline to this article, in point of fact. 

Frozen 2

Yeah, yeah, for approximately three-quarters of a century in which time the genre produced some of the greatest films ever made?

Yeah, it was really great.

Blue Collar is phenomenal. 

I know this is a joke but it’s actually really surprising that none of his Scorsese colabs netted him a nomination. Raging Bull was adapted from a book and was nominated for a ton of Oscars (including Best Picture) so it’s stunning he wasn’t up for it. 

I think this is a fairly normal kind of cognitive dissonance to experience, your material interests often conflict with your ideals. For example, I have always abhorred college rankings and the idea that high school performance basically becomes a proxy by which you can be judged for life... but when given the chance…

So this leaves enough time for Helen Mirren to re-take the reigns as Queen Liz for seasons 5-6 presumably? 

This is tangential to the article but if you had told me 10 years ago, when I was watching Look Around You on Adult Swim and obsessively looking for episodes of Peep Show on YouTube, that Olivia Colman would one day be an Oscar front runner... I would have been shooketh. 

This is the big existential question in the whole deal... will brands outweigh content?

The brand, the brand, the brand.

I’d suggest ESPN is probably going to be the biggest driver of eyeballs to the service

I’d have preferred they create a new story around the Hobbit archers sent to night the Witch-King during the fall of the Northern kingdom .
