I know, it’s a super old show, but given that I don’t watch too much of this kind of content it’s really my touchstone for this and has been influential for a lot of people in the review space. That was a big production - in fact, an actual TV show - and did use entire scenes with silent audio, bringing it back for…

The Devil’s Advocate was one of those movies that seemed to perpetually be on TBS/TNT for like 5 straight years in the 2000s. Like it didn’t matter what time of day it was, Devil’s Advocate was going to be playing. Sunday at 11:30am? “I’m a FAAAAAAN OF MAAAAAAN” Tuesday at 4:30pm? “LOOOOK...but don’t touch!…

I’m hoping it’s GameCube but I don’t think it’s likely. GBC/GBA is probably what’s going to happen

That’s probably one of the biggest and most frustrating things about this whole controversy: It’s not just that his comedian friends are either staying silent so they don’t have to risk the professional benefits that come from their association with him, or are trying to make room for him and his non-apologies. And…

Again - no, you don’t NEED permission, but the idea that there’s no such thing as “securing the rights to a life story” isn’t true, either, because it’s happened before, it will happen again, and it’s not even a weird, arcane practice I’m referencing. People seem to believe there’s a “Robin Williams Biopic” project…

The Retrotink 2x is less than 70, I think, and does a really good job at the basics. I was also shocked to not see Retrotink on here anywhere.

Well, it is kind of a thing. Not to say unauthorized biographies aren’t also a thing, because of course they are - but it really does seem like everyone is defaulting to “GIVE HIM A BIOPIC” as they mash the retweet/share button, as if there’s one already in pre-production just waiting to be handed over. But there…

I AM THE POMPATUS

This is the first article I’ve seen about this thing that mentions how kind of... gross it feels.

1) Yesterday’s thread is right there. Check the grays. Check the timestamps. I DON’T LIE, SON.

1) Netflix wasn’t the reason there’s no more Mindhunter. That was Fincher himself.

Fucking called it, btw. 

I knew I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque

I don’t think he can do that anymore? Also it wasn’t really HIS, IIRC the guy who went on to make the first Deadpool was supposed to make it.

It’s a documentary series.

There are multiple generations of people who think they aren’t seeing the full picture when they watch something in 4x3.

People really love going to bat for mediocrity, especially corporate mediocrity, don’t they? They just VOLUNTEER for it at the slightest chance. “Well, you see, it’s mediocre and shitty because IT’S SMART TO BE THAT WAY. You gotta think like an EXECUTIVE, sorry YOU CAN’T DO THAT.”

That impulse is so strong, and so…

Yeah, fuck chapters in books and episodes in serialized television and radio and especially issues in comics!

But the psychology of giving in to, defying, or just ignoring online fan demands is clearly only going to get more complicated as the years go on.
