Literally the only two things I liked in that second fantastic beasts movie were Zoe Kravitz and Jude Law.

After the huge box office drop for part 2 I was waiting for WB to announce its now a four part franchise instead of five to wrap it up quicker (getting three planned films into one made a trilogy seem unfeasible at this point). I was surprised they didn't and that it still seems to be full steam ahead - but who knows…

The martyrdom/persecution complex is huge part of TERF-dom. I’m sure Graham Linehan is off somewhere whining (while secretly being pleased) about finally being banned from Twitter for his transphobic douchebaggery.

Not watching it on HBO Max might have an impact (albeit a tiny one); licensing deals for streaming usually involve payments for each time a thing is watched (usually quantified by if you watch more than say 30% of it), so declining to watch something means the licensee misses out on that revenue. Obviously one person…

People dropping out of Fantastic Beasts would serve double duty as a rebuke to Rowling and a merciful end to a truly shitty new franchise. I’m all for it.

I don’t love everything about that episode—to me it simultaneously felt a little too broad and a little too small, changing a historical presidential election into a snoozy Midwestern governor’s race—but I never fail to crack up at the scene where Bill Hader as Not!Carville is dickering over the length and defamatory…

Coincidentally, the really terrible Penny Dreadful: City of Angels ALSO has a Sister Aimee character, and had a Marion Parker reference a couple weeks ago. I long for the days when murdered children with sewn eyelids weren’t common fodder for television.

I have a cable subscription and use HBO Go to watch HBO content. I have HBO Max for free, but I can’t play it on my Roku TV. Now I’m losing HBO Go, apparently, the app that actually works there. Good times.

Absolutely - I believe Rain Man even spurred on a rise in diagnosis.

I know everyone loves on Matt Berry (and rightfully so, as he’s brilliant), but for me, Kayvan Novak as Nandor is the MVP. His relationship with Guillermo this season was the backbone of it, and they were both just so fantastic. He’s my favorite character by far. He plays Nandor as the perfect combination of lovable…

If there were a drinking game to come out of this show, I would drink every time Nandor says “Colon Roe-been-son.” Cracks me up every time.

I’m very intrigued to see what Blair 2.0 brings. I’m also curious to see if there is much more to India, or if this win was just a fluke (and not deserved IMO, I would have given it to Alexis). I always thought she was so generic.

Yea, it’s no coincidence that Full House debuted the same year with the same basic idea. Right down to singing a capella to baby Michelle. I do prefer the movie’s version, which might be the film’s best moment

If you haven’t seen “How to Survive a Plague” you should remedy that. He has a very powerful scene in the documentary that chokes me up when I watch it.

Im almost hoping something does just as to keep the joke rolling. 

I had really hoped that the show would just use the books as a jumping off point, but fix some of the issues I’d had with the series, but once I saw that it was really following pretty closely I was out.

I think the baseline issue is that people are a lot more forgiving of mediocre books than they are of mediocre shows and movies, for whatever reason. I generally like the books but I’m aware when I’m reading through a passage that I wouldn’t want to watch onscreen.

I have not read the books either, but I have also noticed the frequent comments from book readers who defend bad story choices as “well, that’s how it is in the books!” So what? It was bad there, and it’s bad here, and the showrunners really could have chosen to deal with such and such bad plot point differently, just…

There’s a lot of fandoms that are certifiably nuts, and a lot of the worst people for some reason seem to be supposedly grown-up women.
