Like a lot of the recent DC movies, removing any shared universe and freeing creatives to go completely wildly has been a great decision. Watchmen and doom patrol are masterpieces and peacemaker is off to a perfect start. 

It’s likely a combination of factors: most millennials (like myself) grew up in the VHS era and so that aesthetic immediately invokes a sense of nostalgia that can then be warped into horror. VHS also has a bunch of inherent quirks (namely analog distortions) that play well with supernatural tropes. The only thing

Paper Boi already had a pretty harrowing experience with that ep in the woods, can the guy just get a break?

God I love this show, can’t wait for another season.

10 year sitcom that was one of the most popular of all time, yes. Well known. 🙄 But I acknowledge your coolness for being above it all.

There’s an episode later in the show’s run where Barney literally throws women into the trash after having sex with them.

I loved and still love this show, but there is SO much of this show that has not aged well in just 10 years. Like, today, “The Naked Man” doesn’t ever make it out of the writer’s room, and the writer who pitched it probably gets fired.

so if this gets canceled after five episodes they’ll just throw in a voiceover “It was clearly Jesse!” at the end.

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.

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.  

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.
