Honestly, I had high hopes for Wood, and found his week hosting to be a little disappointing. He wasn’t bad, certainly, but I also thought he was kind of unimpressive, especially compared to several of the guest hosts (including Minhaj). I have no reason to think he wouldn’t be able to grow into the job well, but I…

Came here to say the same. One of my favorite movies, and it was also a major piece of his comeback.

My first thought as well.

“...chicken wire?”

I mean, this basically sounds like they’re trying to do a slightly-more-Ubisoft-y version of Jedi Survivor. Which honestly I’m all here for if they can pull it off. Just make it a good story and I’ll love it, even if it does have a few too many collectibles.

I remember my late father watching the Nero Wolfe series, which basically used all but a couple lead actors as a repertory company. Took me a few episodes to get it, but I came to love it. (Plus, I’m trekkie, and am used to the same character actors popping up in half a dozen roles.) As long as they do a good job, who…

I thought the song was intended to be about being abused (and implicitly criticizing toxic relationships), rather than condoning abuse or toxicity? That said, Matchbox 20 was the first real concert I ever went to, so maybe I’m just biased.

The singing double was great. That’s about it though.

Yeah, seriously. The woman has at least half a dozen legendary songs to her name, and they choose one that’s primarily associated with Dionne Warwick? I hope we see an article soon about John “Dizzy Miss Lizzy” Lennon or Jimi “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” Hendrix.

Tell me you don’t understand estate law and have never had abusive family members without telling you don’t understand state law and have never had abusive family members.

I don’t know for a fact, but I would assume that for a voice actor whose vocal likeness is a key part of their professional identity, it would.

It’s not my specific area of expertise (and - important disclaimer - nothing I’m saying here counts as legal advice or anything of the sort), but my impression is that parody wouldn’t fly at all, and fair use is questionable. Copyright law is distinct from the individual harms I was referring to, though not fully…

Hi! I’m a lawyer. This fits the legal definition of harm. Thanks for playing.

The article is atrociously written, but I think the “bad-faith acting” thing was intending to refer to the bad portrayals Tucci mentioned, rather than saying that any straight actor playing a gay part is inherently doing it in bad faith. (Not objecting to the overall point you’re making, but just trying to clarify…

In addition to the ones mentioned, I’d throw in Avatar - snark notwithstanding, it certainly has spawned a financially (if not critically) successful franchise.

Honestly, I would have loved him as Bond at one point, but the man is 50. Considering they want actors to have the role for multiple movies, he realistically aged out of the part a decade ago. The calls for him to get the role now are just kind of weird - we’d be getting into late-Roger Moore-era territory after a…

Agreed on all counts - just figured I’d stick to the newer series for brevity’s sake.

1. Jodie Whittaker very intentionally chose an outfit that (a) incorporated various nods to representation (the pride stripes being the most obvious), and (b) was easy to replicate, so that people of all ages and genders who wanted to dress “like The Doctor” could do so. These new outfits are stylish, but I don’t…

Yeah, he hasn’t.

Don’t google Terry Gilliam’s opinions on anything from the past few years.

I’ve been mocked for holding onto my DVD collection. This is why I held onto my DVD collection.
