This reminds me, in college I came up with a story idea for a dark comedy about a disgraced superhero being put in superhero protection and becoming anonymous. I should sue Brad Bird.

Plot: mockumentary set at an urban elementary school.

The claim is she showed her script to someone, they showed it to Hulu, and then they think some Disney insider at Hulu gave it to ABC and “a few months later”, ABC was shooting the new show?

Related, I remember a few occasions after, sometimes long after, Harry Potter became huge that people (not, like, ‘officially’, but comments in venues such as this, twitter, etc.) would occasionally accuse Terry Pratchett of stealing the idea of a magical school, despite the fact that the first appearance of a magical…

Reminds me of when Harry Potter became huge and everyone started suing JK Rowling because they wrote a children’s book about wizards, or magic, or with a character named Potter or something that sounded like Potter. You can’t copyright the idea of a sitcom or a mockumentary or a show set in an inner city public…

Not that this will make anyone feel better, but $8k for these guys is a miniscule afterthought. They play $1000-1500/spin slots and will do 15-20 spins a minute, and $250k blackjack hands one after another. This is more him helping Drake with the errand of a pc build, the pc cost could not be less relevant to them. Com…

I’ve read it three times and I still can’t figure it out.

The final ‘that’ needs to be omitted for it to make any sense at all. And I’m not sure what a “toxic online strawman” is in this context—a dog being oppressed by cats in Japan?

I don’t GAF about Marvel anything, but working with them seems like a waste of Waititi’s time, imo. He could be doing more interesting (maybe even important) things with his time. But, yeah, it’s all about the money and thank goodness Americans feel such joy when someone compromises they’re talent for a dollar (Fuck…

Poor woman was put in an impossible situation. Everyone knew she was miscast and it was true. She was terrible. She may be leaving “early” but not early enough. February would have been ideal.

TBS, for its part, offered no explanation or reasoning behind the sudden cancelation. However, TBS’s statement does explain that canceling Chad before audiences could see the thing is merely a part of how Warner Bros. Discovery “assess content and implement a new strategy for our network.”

I saw her in it. Her performance would have fit in better as the understudy at a local tri-state high school production. It wasn’t even that she couldn’t fill Barbra’s shoes - no one can! - it was that she was totally incapable of handling the score with even a modicum of competency in the way that should be expected…

She really should have agreed to an episode each season.

Great review , and looking forward to it , but please , can we put the phrase 'bonkers' to sleep ( or straight up take it behind the barn and just shoot it.

After how much Season 2 felt like a rehash of Season 1 except with less depth, I think unless this one really turns it out I’m going to be skipping it. I wanted to like Season 2 so much but by the end I got why Netflix did not pick it up for another season if they were already retreading

So given Zaslav’s cancellation spree, what are the odds this is next?

I felt that his comedy skit was hilarious. But again I watch comedy with a view of not taking everything to heart kind of mentality. Alot of you fucks need to go out and touch grass. And get the hell off your phones. Your in the media way too much and it's hurting your brains and how you should take comedy, which is…

Yeah, you keep thinking that - in a few decades, though, I think you’ll find yourself embarrassed by having thought so. In the meantime, if you want to invoke Carlin and the “essence of being a comedian,” though, even Carlin disagreed with punching down the way Chappelle is. The essence of comedy isn’t unfettered…

Free speech MUST remain free. You might feel comfortable giving the reins over to the people who are trying to control speech today, but there is no guarantee that you will be comfortable *or safe* having given that power to the people *or person* who will control speech tomorrow. And that is why the right to speech…

I’m truly baffled by this piece. They might as well have an article about not watching your favorite movie with director commentary because you won’t hear the movie dialogue.
