The 24 hour news re-cycle — there’s certainly enough real, relevant news to fill every hour of the day, but the search for profits demands that news platforms re-cycle whatever stories are most clickable and triggering. Flash over substance.

Off topic, but isn’t Twin Peaks creator David Lynch the father of mystery box television? There might have been ongoing goals like finding the one armed man in The Fugitive or cliffhangers like “Who Shot JR”, but Lynch’s show was the first to be driven by an ever growing series of mysteries, after which many shows…
As Varietypoints out, these fresh crop of Upper East Siders are “aware of income inequality. They take Ubers, not limos. They’re (mostly) not rude to service workers.”
I don’t think SNL will be better until Lorne Michaels (and perhaps the leadership under him) surrenders the reins. Even then, full creative freedom doesn’t guarantee quality, and quality doesn’t guarantee economic survival. SNL is a business and a NBC profit center at this point, that’s what is most likely to guide…
No argument with a subjective opinion and as I said, I love Garner and Moreno too. The Rockford Files was a seminal series for me as a little kid, not a radical show but one that gently nudged me into an irreverent somewhat pragmatic view of life. I think that irreverence and cynicism about institutions and human…
Love both Garner and Moreno, but no, there were just too many great actor and actress pairings of all kinds in that decade to even put them in the top 10. Harold and Maude, Klute, Young Frankenstein, Manhattan, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, Carnal Knowledge, The Three Days of the Condor, Taxi Driver, Bad News…
The correct answer is: Pickles and Ice Cream! Pickles and Ice Cream, ANathanofFillions… so close, but I’m afraid we’re going to have to bid you goodbye!
I want a poster of all Meghan’s hairstyles, done in the style of those wall prints you see in every black barbershop .
I don’t mind the idea of prequels but I am not hungry for them either. There are vast troves of characters, locations and time periods in Marvel Comics that I would much rather see explored, like the Savage Land or Machine Man or Marvel’s version of the Old West. Its smart and cautious — the pillars of Feige’s…
Lena and Kara made more sense to me than any other pairing Supergirl had in the show. Jimmy Olsen was supposed to be Kara’s mentor, so their hookup always felt problematic, especially for a CW show. Monel was a douchebro and I suppose the objective of their relationship was a classic (and in my opinion, boring)…
I think the problem is that pop culture is now also fan culture, and ships can become a reality. Its in some ways exciting, but can also be an impediment to a creative process. Creators and writers are still trying to navigate this phenomenon.
I agree with the general point about platonic friendships and I have no interesting in cancelling anyone, but Mackie should just shut the fuck up if he can’t express his feelings in a less awkward and (accidentally or not) perjorative way. He has the experience to know that this is a sensitive subject, the resources…
Someone has never been to PornHub..
The song and video gave me an intense ‘90s flashback.
- This episode has such big Doctor Who vibes that I half expected Loki and Mobius to run into the 10th Doctor and Donna in Pompeii.
There’s value in getting to know your colleagues across the aisle, but this is more about optics than anything else. They all want to look bipartisan and reasonable. Lack of collegiality or sisterhood is not the reason the GOP blocked everything from Merrick Garland’s nomination to a Jan. 6th investigation. How many…
I felt that the core of Scott’s questions for Putin were substantive, but the “what are you so afraid of” just seemed loaded and way of calling Putin a punk, which was sure to get a rise out of him. Mainstream journalists seem in a Cold War throwback phase, where talking tough to the Ruskies is deemed admirable (and…
Storm is not from Kenya, one of her parents is. Storm was born in Harlem. But it definitely seems like film makers have interpreted her as biracial when she is not.
Sure, its dangerous, but that’s what heroes do.
