I imagine it must be stressful to be afraid of cats, at least here in the States. No one I know with a cat went to a shelter to adopt it or anything. A stray cat will just move in. Worse, they often to gravitate toward the people giving them the least attention.

“I always joke, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? [His aunt] Rosemary Clooney was an icon,’” Roberts said on a recent episode of the Table for Two podcast

I think Harley Quinn beat them to it

Bruce Greenwood was fucking fantastic and can take over as WB’s default Batman voice as far as I’m concerned. But Dietrich Bader is a very, very close second.

I still think there’s a compelling argument that Disney+’s business model isn’t great. The old model of a studio producing a show and selling it to a distributor worked for decades, and during the Golden Age of TV is what allowed for beloved but niche TV shows to be revived by another distributor (and changing…

I certainly understand how it would hit Padelecki extra hard, but… I mean, yeah, the CW as a network was always dwarfed by the big three. It never had as many live viewers and so much of its lineup was subsidized by deals with Netflix and international markets. The whole industry is changing, so it’s not really…

I hate when my Uber driver wants to talk. Most don’t, thankfully.

I was being hyperbolic, but my point was that the very specific reactionary, “oh, she’s just looking for attention”-type (the kind of person that rushes to defend accused celebrities instead of waiting to see if any evidence comes out) doesn’t really say anything when it comes to something like this.

Yes. 100% emphatically yes.

The X-Men are interesting to me because Stan Lee obviously created them to make a comment on civil rights. First for racial minorities and today LGBTQ+ people. But once someone pointed out to me that it’s a potentially harmful message because several mutants are legitimately dangerous and have terrorized the human…

I would have been ok if they had just never shown Diggle on any Arrowverse show ever again. That would have let me imagine that he’s off doing Green Lantern things that we just never see. It would have sucked for him not to be on the HBO show, but at the same time, I get it. Two different networks, and even though…

I have no trouble believing that Vin Diesel is a pain in the ass to work with.

The amusing thing to me is that I think there has been - historically anyway - a lot of successful pop culture that has been produced, if not by conservatives, then was at least released with a conservative message. The Dark Knight, for example, was massively successful and has a pretty conservative bent. Most action…

Of course. And maybe you don’t know, but there have been people that have argued (in comment sections on this website no less) that ChatGPT and its ilk will never be proper substitutes for human writers because they make mistakes any human would catch. I wish that was the case, but…

Which to the OP’s point was one of the most unsatisfying story beats from the Arrowverse.

IIRC Barry wasn’t paying rent; he owned both properties. One of the Wells left STAR Labs to him in his will. But I guess he had to pay to maintain them.

Yeah, it didn’t help that Stargirl ended up airing on the CW (despite the first season being filmed in its entirety as a streaming exclusive). But to Yellowfoot’s point, the epilogue does establish it as a separate Earth from the main Arrowverse.

Sometimes the AVCbot hallucinates. *sigh* This would never happen if they hired human writers around here.

Do you contain multitudes?

I’d bet all my money on Diggle never being seriously considered for the Lanterns show (even though I really wanted him to at least be on it). Berlanti has done a lot of DC stuff and by the time that project was announced, the CW-verse was confined to the CW, while his other shows (Doom Patrol, Stargirl, Titans) were…
