This sounds suspiciously like Dollhouse, whose execution was fine but whose premise was straight up horror and should have been addressed as such.

What you did there, I see it.

Whoa. I’ve NEVER watched this show but I grew up with Reeves as Superman and the segment of him tossing away the clothes while the music plays just brought me to sobby tears. This was great!

I threw this on last night, thinking it would be similar to The Crown, as the reviewer did. I couldn’t get into it.

YES. Longtime Wire fan here also.

Great write-up Charles! Finished the series over the weekend, and I loved it.

Ultimately it sounds like the problem was presentation. I mean this company was keeping bodies and their parts for reasonably worthwhile ventures, but you can’t just leave stuff lying around all willy-nilly. Especially not ‘Works In Progress’ like Grandma Frankenstein’s Monster.’

Holy SHIT. That is some Fantasia-level filmmaking.

READY.

I read that a while ago and while I don’t remember that particular anecdote, MY GOD there were so many others. And I exactly see your point - he was testing them. Predators are always testing people, to see which category to fit them under. 

I found out about Washcloth Magic by (gasp) researching skincare regimens on Youtube, the best of which are by Women of Color. Started using one 5 years ago and never looked back. At no point did I think ‘Oh man I should totally market these to Goopheads for 150 a pop!’ because I have sense.

Whew. I try not to be judgmental of The Youth and What They’re Into but when I looked at those two and their outfits and imagined them reproducing I literally made this face:

Ok they were BOOKS, and then a GAME.

I know!

To piggyback on the “why we haven’t had a good Superman/Clark Kent” discussion that took place on this blog 2 years ago -

Also in Florida. I walked a couple blocks on Sunday in Winter Park* and damn near passed out.

I am SO. READY for this.

Agree. I mean just his little cameo in Deadpool 2 was pretty funny and that barely lasted 30 seconds. 

Kind of same, but if he finds those kinds of projects compelling at least he’s in his happy place. I hope the money he makes off stuff like this allows him the freedom to do what he wants.

That’s going to be a tough scene to watch.
