The made for TV Tower of Terror was a pretty good entry. I honestly think if this had a less big name cast, it could have been a fun Disney+ release.

I’m sure that they could have claimed intimidation - but I think that can also get those striking in more trouble than not. “Kim Kardashian claims Patton Oswalt threatened to spit in her eye” is a great headline, but it’s not going to earn anyone points either in a PR war.

SAG-AFTRA members were told that they were legally obligated to show up to work on all productions: “If you are contracted to work on a project that continues production while the WGA is on strike, you are legally obligated to continue working by your personal services agreement and the ‘no strike’ clause in our…

But SAG-AFTRA told actors that they were legally obligated to show up for work until June 30th:

SAG-AFTRA members were told to show up for all work they were contracted for until June 30th.

That could be the case. I still think he would want to consider splitting it now if he truly had sequential work done just to get people off his back, but again, I don’t think he has much sequential work done.

Also at the time all members of SAG were being told to show up for work so long as writers weren’t present on set.

I love Wil Wheaton, but I think he and others are a little off the mark when it comes to Ken Jennings:

That might even be a more interesting show - suddenly rich without Big Carrie has to learn to actually be a grown up. Lawyer!Miranda has to help her. Socialite!Charlotte has to too! It’s almost like that could be a less contrived plot where the core three had real reasons to interact with one another.

And as someone who lived in several old NYC apartments over the years, it may look big and luxurious - I guarantee the heating, cooling and plumbing is not so great lol.

I do think if he had finished sequential chapters at this point, he (and his publisher) would be looking at a “Winds of Winter Part 1" situation because I do think GRRM likes money and adoration. I don’t think any chunk of the book is close to releasable. 

I think it’s also influenced by the 3.5 million side quests and inconsequential characters he has introduced in the books that he now has to deal with when a lot of it is probably not going to impact the main narrative. A lot of what started as stalling for time, making it seem plausible that some other Targaryen was…

I’m pretty sure House of the Dragon is pretty popular so far...

100% agree. For me, a savvier Carrie who is able to move through the world of the rich and instead of being an idiot about it be the one making observations would make so much more sense!

I’m intrigued by TMNT in so much as I really like the animation style. Don’t know that it will be enough to get me into a theater to see it, but I also like that they seem to not be ignoring the part where they are teenagers. Seems fun.

I think the show struggles with actually accounting for the time we were away from the characters and that makes it hard to earn those things.

If it wasn’t about her being rich, I think I would be okay with it. Carrie has money and can therefore get up to wacky hijinks would be fine as a premise. I mostly just don’t want to watch her grapple with it or be hit up for money or what not.

I think they’re saying “entire” to mean she has not only the dress, but the jewelry, the hat, the veil and the cape. So yes, in that regards, people do have “non-entire” gowns if they only own the dress and not the accessories. 

...as with Monica Gellar’s unfathomably sprawling West Village two-bedroom

RDJ was just trying to help all along.
