There is, in fact, a documentary on Jim Varney called “The Importance of Being Ernest;” it crowdfunded a year or two back, but is still in production.

Curse you, now I totally want a biopic about Jim Varney titled The Importance of Being Ernest!!
Whenever I hear the play The Importance of Being Earnest mentioned, I have to remind myself that it’s not a biography of Jim Varney.
People have been declaring DW dead since Tennant left based on ‘ratings’. Those don’t have the same meaning any more because the viewing landscape has changed. And it appears on iPlayer at the same time it shows up on Disney+. It’s not like BBC viewers are being cheated somehow.
Well, DeSantis isn’t trying to be President, or even Vice-President anymore, so of course he doesn’t have any appetite for fighting Disney anymore.
I thought for sure we’d get an Onslaught tease after the mind-meld, and am wondering now between the Apocalypse Wars/ Days of Future Past stuff they’ve teed up if they’ll skip it altogether... then again, they merged a helluva lotta arcs into this first season, and I did notice that shot of the car radio tuned to…
They said The Thing!
I’ll happily agree with you that Duet was awesome, and I think is the moment DS9 realised what sort of show it could be.
Duet is incredible television. And lots of DS9's best episodes have nothing to do with the Dominion War – Far Beyond The Stars and The Visitor rank right up there with In The Pale Moonlight or anything else in the Dominion arc.
Oh, excellent! I was wondering when the second season was coming out.
COVID was a big factor in Marvel’s decline. If your whole business model consists of releasing a new movie every six months, then having the theaters shut down for the better part of two years is gonna put a crimp in your style. The shows kept the brand visible during the lockdown, but not to the extent that the big…
its been five years since Endgame came out. five years. theres no generational divide. Marvel bet on “keep doing the same thing” and lost. they didnt focus on new trends or how viewing habits changed during the pandemic.
The ADHD thing is dumb and insulting. The biggest release of the spring is Dune Part Two, a nearly three-hour movie that’s a sequel to a movie that’s almost as long. If the Russos were correct, then it would’ve been released like the Lynch version, hacked down to a single movie just over two hours long. But no, it…
Yeah, as much as I think “superhero fatigue” is overblown ballooey, blaming “collective ADHD” of kids these days is even worse nonsense. Kids today are perfectly able to sit through a movie. So are people with ADHD, by the way, if the movie is good enough.
Henson had some less great sides of his personal life that make him a little less of an unambiguously great figure than Fred Rogers, but still, any time that you have someone who dedicates their professional life to creating joy, especially for kids, it’s hard not to get emotional about it.
I am extremely curious as to why he got fired. His work is top notch but if those allegations of him being extremely abusive to other writers is true, the ends don’t justify the means. (IF he has anger management issues they should be dealt with ASAP not just for his career)
And then he turns around and walks away without saying goodbye to not only Maddie, but Nathan as well. It’s as close as we’ll get to what he did in the comics.
Our son was infected as an infant and I had to send him to the future.
