I saw it (via streaming) and liked it a lot. It’s a pretty clever idea and genuinely really funny, with some good gore scenes. Not a four star masterpiece, but I had a good time with it and would have absolutely gone to the theater to see it if there had been a real release.

Wow, it’s almost like this kind of treatment of VAs is endemic in the industry and she has recurring reason to complain.

Cards on the table that I don’t really care about Justice League or superhero movies, and don’t really care for Snyder as a director either (aside from the Dawn of the Dead remake which is pretty dope, basically the good, genuinely fun version of a “dumb guy” version of the original). But I’m sorry, this story…

Well merch is a lot easier to sell when you have a going show. Particularly the license itself. It’s a lot easier to go to a merchandiser and say “we have this show that continues to be in production and gets x ratings and reaches x amount of markets, etc” than it is to go to them and say “we have this show that…

I mean, I wouldn’t cancel the service in protest I don’t think, but I wouldn’t watch the show either. And if I don’t have a reason to keep Hulu otherwise, well, that’s an easy cut.

I also don’t think Hulu is the only consideration here, though. Futurama is valuable to 20th beyond Hulu subscribership itself. It tends…

I subscribe to it already, but if not I would have subscribed to it just for Futurama for sure....IF they get the voices. I say this as a big, big fan (I own every DVD, named my last dog [RIP] after Bender, signed all the petitions back in the day, etc). If they don’t get all the voices back then I don’t want it,…

Of course it has to be profitable in the long run. It already has been. That’s the thing. Its past history of cancellations are largely irrelevant because they don’t reflect on the show’s current popularity and whatever the metrics are in the present day. Its first cancellation occurred before it was on Adult Swim and…

The fact that it’s the second or third revival is actually irrelevant here. It’s being brought back because it’s extremely valuable to the studio. It still does really well on streaming and in cable syndication. And yes Hulu isn’t quite up to Netflix tier, but it’s owned by big studios who WANT it to get there, and…

This is a wild guess, but DiMaggio and Odenkirk are probably acquainted otherwise. Bob did voice spots on Futurama a few times, and his brother Bill wrote a bunch of episodes.

But also, if you’re doing a show and the voice of Bender calls you up to ask if you can give him a small role....you give it to him. You want…

That would be way too early, they don’t generally start animating until the script is a little more locked down, and the purpose of a table read is to see what works in the script and what doesn’t. After that it’s usually greatly rewritten. They’ll probably start animated in the next few months but a week after the…

He’s not saying it’s harmless. It’s just a fact that more people are getting it from going to work than from any other situation (I guess I’d throw school in there too). Sure we can argue over whether an event like this should go on, and maybe it shouldn’t, but the reality is that someone going to work every single…

“There are many people who will not be fine, either because they can’t get vaccinated or because they are in high-risk groups.”

Okay, I’m sorry, but I have to quibble with this. Qualifying this by saying I’m sure there are some extremely rare exceptions that just aren’t coming up in literally any of the research I’ve…

I’m 5'6", happily married so I don’t speak with bitterness (at least not too much), but I have to say when I was still dating I never successfully went out with anyone taller than me that I can remember. It wasn’t a lack of willingness; taller women were just not interested. I messaged any number of them on online…

Yeah, the joke was always that they’re basically just slightly sleazy exterminators but they end up accidentally having to save the world. And Murray is the sleaziest one but ends up being kind of the primary “hero” of the film. They talk on the commentary about it was an intentional joke to have him be the one guy at…

God I’ve had so many stupid arguments about this lol. Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies but there is a remarkably large contingent of its fanbase that apparently has never understood that it’s supposed to be funny and that the “mythology” in it is purposefully stupid and ridiculous because that’s the damn…

Oh, well I guess I just don’t really care if people whose entire lives and careers have been dedicated to propagating human misery happen to suffer from smaller version of the misery they’ve spread around the world. I doubt people in Iraq or Afghanistan still suffering from their actions would be that against it if…

I mean, you do you if you really care that much about Mike Pence I guess.

I personally think the danger that Pence and Romney were supposedly in has probably been a bit exaggerated. (This is also maybe a good place to say that I just personally wouldn’t *care* if something had happened to them - this is a real “let them fight” scenario for me - but in any case that’s all a different…

I mean...this shouldn’t be read as a defense of the Capitol rioters or anything...but they didn’t actually kill anyone. They mostly just got themselves killed, and then a cop died days later because of a heart condition or something. So while this movie and the logic behind the characters’ actions are very dumb I…

I don’t remember the characters too well to be honest, but yeah, seems like the original show actually had really interesting and progressive portrayals of its adult characters that the new show seems to be going back on in a way.
