Riordan tried to steer the films differently.  https://rickriordan.com/2018/11/memories-from-my-tv-movie-experience/

All costs are going up, & unfortunately, it hurts the people towards the bottom the most because we’re not getting paid more either.

Chris Columbus fucked it up. He tried to fuck up the first two HP movies, but they were pretty invulnerable. But it’s not by chance that they got better the further they got away from him.

Once again, I ask why Rick Riordan isn’t celebrated far and wide for being the anti-Rowling.

He created a diverse cast of characters. Unlike a lot of “diversity” efforts, which really just feel like changing John to Juan or Alicia to Ayesha without doing anything else to the character, he makes efforts to create real…

I’m an Etsy fan, so I will support the makers!

If they’re going to build a franchise out of The Batman, then Court of Owls could certainly be growing theme in the background for the next couple movies but I’d love to see the Clock King realized as the central villain within the next sequel or so. He doesn’t have to actually control time but have such an acute…

Cooking with Lalo

This is why Saul is one of the greatest prequel shows.  They never go too far with fan service.

Fox News is at this point just a vehicle for stochastic terrorism.

Handy calls themselves a “Catholic anarchist,” which might be progressive if it weren’t just absurd on its face. Anarchism is opposition to artificial hierarchies, and I don’t think there’s any more blatant an artificial hierarchy than the structure of the Catholic church.

“Her group also tried to equate the public showing of stolen fetuses to the open casket funeral of Emmitt Till, who was murdered by white supremacists in 1955"

Oh god. I was thinking the same thing. His fucking stupid face. His default expression is that of a dog with its head cocked in bafflement.

Ok, you lost me on the Tucker Carlson comment, that was gold!

... why does Tucker Carlson always look like he’s constipated and passing the worst bowel movement ever?

I have two questions. First, are there any positions that PAAU promotes that are progressive? Second, why does Tucker Carlson always look like he’s constipated and passing the worst bowel movement ever?

How is this surprising? He’s always been pro-union, from what I remember. 

Sometimes, snark is says something about the limitations of its target. Sometimes, snark says something about the limitations of its author:

One of the best thrillers I have ever seen:

It’s likely to be nothing for multiple reasons, and to be honest, I feel like within a year, or two, people are going to be okay with it. Maybe bring it up as a thing that happened (you know, like referencing “G.I. Jane” in 2022), but Will Smith’s star power as-is, and the potential, is that this is likely to be the…

The irony is that there’s going to be a fair number of GOP for life people on the right who are going to end up doing time over this, so that makes me smile. Georgia is greatly underestimating Stacey and all of the activists there who will play the game the right is trying to play. She’s not putting up with any of…
