I’m on the fence with the last season. It was definitely surprising and unexpected but it also really kind of took away from the rest of the series IMO. Like nothing that happened in prior seasons even matters by the end because the majority of the world’s population is dead. And Dory achieves inner peace by being the

His new gig: Voiceover/narrator on How I Met My Maker.

You know, people give him shit for America’s Funniest Home Videos, but I remember a cable channel here in Australia started airing his tenure on it in I think the early 2000s. Why exactly I have no idea, but it stood in stark contrast to the entire tenure of Australia’s version, and all later versions of America’s,

This is gonna be one of THOSE kind of years where a lot of (notable) people are going to die. Isn’t it?

Jesus, that sucks. Sadly, 65 is well into the age range where seemingly healthy people routinely drop dead without warning. I just had no idea he was even that old; if you’d asked me I would have guessed mid-50s. (And yes I’m aware that playing a 30ish guy in the late 1980s means he’d be in his 60s now, he just never s

Whedon might be a major league asshole, but he’s not stupid enough to go after those guys.

He seemed pretty happy back when he was doing Kevin Smith’s movies back in the day.

I hope he didn’t compound his misery by watching it too.

But he didn’t do that. The most baffling thing about this case has always been that the culprit didn’t do anything with the manuscripts he got. No ransom demands, no pirating, no leaks.

Just because WB and CBS sell off the CW, doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t continue to produce content for it. CBS and WB already produce shows for several networks they don’t own. On the other hand, I don’t see anyone being interested in it either. I think you’re right about the stations will go back to running

I think it’s most likely that all the Arrowverse shows will wind down as it makes less and less financial sense to continue them, rather than moving them to HBO Max (unless you mean from Netflix, where they currently stream). I think shows like Naomi and even Stargirl will continue to broadcast on the CW. Don’t forget

I wouldn’t say the show is sensationalizing it though: are you implying that the show sees nothing wrong with what occurred, or won’t cover Lee’s transgressions?

So at the time, TV stars were typically still considered second tier to the top movie stars and top recording artists. On top of that, Hasselhoff was considered the “star” of Baywatch, and everyone else was part of what was known as an “ensemble” cast. Anderson was certainly one of the more popular female lifeguards

I heard that Evans was quite hard to match up with stunt performers in the Cap movies precisely because he has a particular dancer’s gait that was hard to emulate.

I imagine that might play a part in the story.  The kid thinks Kelly is this great guy, but then he meets the real Kelly and has his heart broken.  

Yeah this is an example of good, effective makeup, compared to say, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, where the leads looked like chipmunks.  Lily James was never going to be a dead ringer for Anderson, but with just the right amount of makeup, shading and hair styling, she’s utterly convincing.  

Eight episodes seems like a lot for the story itself, but lord knows there’s enough insanity surrounding Lee and Anderson that this has the potential to be a fun extended take on The Dirt (which takes place before their relationship). Unfortunately that invites a comparison to Machine Gun Kelly’s performance as Lee

Remember when Beavis and Butthead was the most controversial thing on television? I was sent home from school for wearing a plain t-shirt with two cartoon faces and a zig-zag yellow logo. Ahh… how we long for simpler times. 

I give Judge a ton of credit for getting the cultural zeitgeist for certain groups (B&B, Silicon Valley, Office Space, KotH) to the point where it is borderline prescient (Idiocracy, still Office Space sadly). B&B seemed very much specifically of its time, so not sure how it would translate to 2021, though I trust

Eh, I feel the “Dale\Q-Anon” axis and similar matters is why we're probably better off without a King of the Hill revival.
