That animation was one of the time where I saw a character design and knew that the creators designed him knowing full well that people would get horny about him.

Apple could be argued to be a vertical monopoly, if you used a definition so loose that it no longer is a definition.

I think they shot parts of it in Russia, so actually quite a few.

It’s only somewhat similar. Lonelygirl15 was about using the vlog format to build up an audience before pulling the rug out from under them as it turned into a conspiracy thriller. This doesn’t seem to have any kind of supernatural twist (yet), and is specifically about satirizing Instagram influencers.

The only justifiable reason to own The Art of the Deal is that you livetweeted reading it and forgot to donate it afterwards.

The PS4 Spider-Man game has been the only PlayStation exclusive Spidey game since the PS1. Activision actually had the license for Spider-Man games for most of the 21st century.

Chinese folk medicine has a lot of cases of people using weird stuff to fix medical problems. Like using dinosaur fossils as an aphrodisiac, or boiling eggs in children's urine as a cure-all.

And most people would assume a professional journalist (or editor, for that matter) would at least take two seconds to clarify that they’re getting information as basic as the author’s gender correct, especially if that information is key to the thesis of the article.

It’s a new conflict that’s easy to understand. You could just throw regular survivors with understandable motivations at each other constantly, but that runs the risk of the audience finding the antagonists more sympathetic and being unsatisfied if and when they lose. But cartoon villains? Yeah sure, kill ‘em, who…

I recall a second season was in very early preproduction when the show was still supposed to premiere on TBS, but I haven't heard anything since. I wouldn't be surprised if there are scripts and storyboards for new episodes lying around on Warner Bros property somewhere, though nothing approaching any complete…

I assume the benefit is having family members who aren’t racist and won’t start every conversation by demanding to know why you don’t have a girlfriend.

Altair from Assassin’s Creed had the same deal. I assume it had something to do with the titles, since both are references to stuff that Nintendo likely doesn’t want to be associated with.

But if there are fewer Starbucks, what will mediocre comedians circa 2006 use for joke fodder?

They do Zoom meetings with the other executives where they very politely discuss how much money they aren’t making.

More of a subcategory than companion, but yes.

Hey, remember Max Headroom?

Because Avatar made $2.7 billion. I understand the whole "lol Avatar has not cultural impact" thing has made people forget that, but it was the highest-grossing film ever made for a full decade. That's why they're making a sequel.

You don’t need to speculate about whether this logo will be used for the series as a whole. The Avatar logo was introduced for the World of Pandora expansion at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom and has been used as the franchise logo since. This is just extending it to the original movie.

Only if Sora turns into a tractor in that world.

Disney was making a big push into TRON in the early 2010s, but TRON: Legacy only did alright at the box office, so when they bought Star Wars they decided that was all the sci-fi stuff they needed. Shame. I love Legacy and Uprising, and I really hope they manage to get a new movie or series out.
