And oh boy does their social media get lit up every time they do. There’s a sizable contingent of their audience that just wants to watch Gone with the Wind on a loop, apparently, and is very bothered by films featuring actors like Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington or "that other one".

“Where are Jeff and Peter?”

He’s showing his leadership capabilities, just like Schwarzenegger challenged him to do all those years ago.  

Network yes; not sure how much of cable is union. They have separate broadcast contracts which aren’t up for renegotiation right now afaik but if the DGA were to strike, they’d still strike. 

DGA directors do news and sports, which is why they’ve always had more leverage. Particularly in the middle of NBA finals.

The AI point was probably a pretty easy “give” for the studios in regards to directors, since the opportunity there is a lot smaller than with writers. 

guarantee financial success where the likes of Lightyear and Turning Red could not.

I believe Arrow killed off its lead in the penultimate episode.

This show is a great way to find bad people.

“In this show, people get a little embarrassed, and then very angry”. — Tim Robinson, in a promo about season 1.

One would think that the prerequisite for a comedy show would be, y’know, actual comedy. This just seems like a whole bunch of insufferable Gen-Y “it’s funny because it’s not funny, and that’s funny” abused irony.

Man, it was all so sad, wasn’t it? I mean, the ending was the only logical ending but damn.

There’s an interview I read something like 15 or 20 years ago, with an animator key to the Disney renaissance, and it was about the value of a good producer/studio boss. I don’t remember who it was, or where I read it, but it went something like this.

I think Pixar now is where Disney was in the mid seventies and eighties , their output is , fine I guess , but nothing amazing, and not the ‘events’ that their old stuff was ( as someone who grew then , and can count the animated Disney films of that era I really liked on one finger ( The Black Cauldron), I've seen…

Hader has talked repeatedly in interviews about how Barry has gotten dumber every season (to the point where he started the final season literally calling Gene from prison to ask if he’d been tricked). In that spirit, “Oh, Wow!” are the funniest last words. I can’t stop laughing about it. 

“That Barry could be so many things and do it in a half hour is an incredible achievement and a rewarding watch, even if it made us queasy sometimes.”

I won't stand for luca slander! That film was wonderful. How was it a flop? 

I considered Coco the reverse Up: the entire weight of the movie is ultimately packed into the last ten minutes, leaving you with 90+ minutes of a movie that’s just sort of... there. And I think non-opening parts of Up were far stronger than the non-ending parts of Coco.

Coco’s problem, really, is that it lacks the…

The film centers on an immigrant community of Fire people working to establish their own identities in a version of New York City largely controlled by a majority population of Water folk, with a relationship between a young Fire woman, played by Leah Lewis, and a Water guy, played by Mamoudou Athie, at its center.

Don’t get your Jerem’s all over me.
