The Batman looks like the third Nolan Batman movie people wanted (instead of the insane A Tale of Two Cities/The Dark Knight Returns mash-up we got).

The final scene was absolutely perfect to me. When she’s just chatting on the phone with Molly I suddenly felt this swell of “this is why I love this show” and then it cut at the perfect moment

I loved this finale! I also agree I would have liked to have seen this story unfold over the whole season instead of some of the storylines we did get. Oh well. I will miss this show! I wasn’t ready for it to end but this was a damn fine ending. 

Ya’ll wrong. It’s not even a guaranteed euphamism. It’s the basic way a young death is described when they don’t know yet.

Thank you so much for the recaps! You’ll be missed. Thanks for all your timeline investigative work too.

Loved it and this whole show. Issa’s Louie Armstrong impression was so funny. 

One of my closest friends died suddenly of a brain hemorrhage. Sure, this could have been a suicide or an overdose, but why don’t you let them do an autopsy before you notarize it?

Or he really did just died suddenly, from a heart attack or something like it. The news was only known very late last night so details are scarce.

I watched Resurrections on HBO and saw Spider-Man in the theater. Glad I didn’t pay to see Resurrections, it was better than the other sequels but basically had all the same failures. Doogie Houser was good though but holy crap even after 4 movies I still don’t give a good god damn about Neo and Trinity’s romance.

It’s pretty amazing that not so long ago in the grand scheme of things, a film adaptation of Spider-Man was considered risky. I remember going to a film summer camp (I was a big nerd), and one of the instructors was talking about how much Sony spent on the script just to make sure they got it right. He mentioned they…

Saw Resurrections and Encanto. Resurrections mostly made me want to see Reeves and Moss in a straight up romance - those two might actually have more chemistry now than in the original trilogy. Encanto is delightful. The songs are catchy, the animation is colorful and beautiful, and it commits Disney heresy by…

To everyone here... Have a very happy holidays and let’s hope the New Year finally brings us an end to the unpleasantries.

One thing I’ve noticed is think pieces about middle of the road shows tend to talk down to viewers. Maybe the viewers of The Closer or Blue Bloods or Yellowstone aren’t interested in think pieces, but they certainly aren’t interested in think pieces that assume they’re idiots. No one wants to read a think pieces that…

Paramount Network can’t be THAT hard to find considering it gets more viewers than everything at NBC, ABC, Fox, and even CBS.

Here are the Top 10 Scripted Shows (i.e. no news magazine shows, sports, or reality/competition shows) by average number of viewers among the Big 4 networks right now:

SNL is still popular and still has a huge presence in pop culture. The fact that there’s recaps shows that it at least drive clicks, something shown by the fact there’s dozens of rv shows that should be recapped but aren’t because the Powers That Be have deemed as not click worthy of bough to do recaps for 

But it is weird to think about those 10 million people spending an hour each week sweating out the twists and turns of such an ambitious, sweeping contemporary western… and then hopping on the internet to read more and finding little.

I watched the first episode two weeks ago, and I burned through the first season in a few days. It’s not a great show, but it’s compelling enough to make me want to know what’s going to happen next.  

I don’t know, but here’s my guess: The viewership trends older, and most advertisers view anyone outside the 18–49 demographic as nonexistent, therefore, there’s less buzz behind the show. I’ve only watched a few episodes. Everyone is always punching one another.

Its culture war stuff that stops it being written about much. Too conservative and “boomer” for most entertainment writers to want to grapple with but not Trumpian enough to generate hate pieces.
