All the GMG sites wrote about this video today. This take is the worst of them.

Bingo. In addition, making fun of everybody doesn’t mean the show has no morals or doesn’t take a stand on anything. It’s taken quite a few blunt stands over the years.

I can assure you none of this is on their minds. What they’re 100% focused on is the sappy feel-good melodrama potential, which their audience laps up like a cat on cream. It is kinda tone deaf, but so was their Columbine movie.

This kind of cutthroat exploitation race reminds me of the heyday of network TV movies in the 90s. There were THREE competing movies about Joey Buttafuoco airing on the same weekend.

I remember a commenter on this site saying “Every twelve year old is a fascist.” It was one of the most profound statements of truth I’d ever read.

Wish I’d thought of that.

Do kids today care about Goosebumps?

Star Ocean was granted a miracle chance when it was given a PS4 sequel. it blew that chance with the worst game in the series, so it was banished to mobile.

And then pivoting Kinja to video!

I wouldn’t be surprised to someday read the headline “Hamilton Nolan Blows Up Mansion” or someone’s yacht or limo, or possibly the entire New York Stock Exchange. With nothing else to do with his time, he’s finally gonna snap.

If this means the end of Kinja, an uncoupling from the aggressively political sites and a return to the nerd-targeting film and television analysis work this site used to do so well.....then I’m not only for this sale, I’m busting out the party hats!

Wow, and if The Meg does well, we could actually get that adapted. I’m buying my ticket already!

Ugh, this is a terrible idea. CN’s ratings are down, and it’s because they’re not even trying: they’re just dumping entire buttloads of new episodes at once, at six in the morning, and then rerunning them all day. The strategy pretty much surrenders to streaming.

There’s so much in that ad. I saw it so many times and I’ve NEVER noticed the kid on the couch!

I heard Pikachu got angry if you said “Playstation.”

You can sell Kinder Eggs in America now; I saw some on display this Easter.

Is Todd still there? I thought I’d hate it, but it was friggin’ hilarious.
