I hope the meeting involved Speilberg, Anderson, and Scorsese showing up with baseball bats to “convince” Zaslav to save TCM, resign, and hand WBD over to someone who knows what the fuck they are doing

I would love a sequel to “The Long Kiss Goodnight” reuniting Jackson and Gina Davis, and with Brie Larson starring as Gina Davis’ now-adult daughter. It is never ever going to happen, but I want it all the same.

This show has one very difficult task ahead of it, in NOT feeling like it’s giving the message “Immigrant refugees are evil and will try to steal your country, no matter how sympathetic they might seem at first.” And so far it seems the major counter to that is having Talos as a token “one of the good ones,” which…

Fury does seem different, and part of that is because Sam Jackson feels different. It’s sort of amazing that he was already 60 in Iron Man, and now he’s well into his 70s. He doesn’t move the same. Fury limping and generally giving an appearance of being a shell of his old self is definitely still a ruse, but he’s…

I was at a Frank Zappa show years ago, and somebody threw a bottle at him. He stopped the show, had the house lights turned on, and said “I’m not playing another note until the person that threw that bottle is arrested.” The house lights came on, and everybody in the audience pointed at the guy who threw the bottle.…

I’m also assuming that when Kick goes under she’ll just go back to Twitch. Might as well make bank off of the fools in the meantime.

It’s hard to reach “hitting someone with a phone so hard they need stitches” levels of awful between fourth grade and adulthood. You really need to start training in preschool, as I'm sure he did. 

Kick is only really trying to make in-roads in the english speaking (and mostly American) streamer eco-system. The non-english speaking countries are still dominated by twitch, by a large margin. Like the others don’t even exist kind of wide margin.

I mean as this website has reported previously, Amouranth has famously invested her money in lots of other projects, so presumably if this fails she’s not facing penury.

Also funny: jail time, criminal record and being sued.

I can sympathize, as I once strangled my spouse as a joke. They didn’t laugh though, which just made me so angry. This generation is too sensitive, nobody can take a joke anymore.

You didn’t hear? Apple bought Disney this morning. Sam is just covertly breaking the news.

Apple+? Sam's just trolling us now, right?

The one thing that always goes unsaid about Stan Lee and what hecreally contribution is that Stan Lee’s real masterpiece wasn’t Spider-Man or Fantastic Four. It was the Marvel brand. Stan Lee made Marvel into no just a company, but a community you wanted to be a part of. He gave the various artist and writers…

It doesn’t seem to me like Kirby ever claims that Stan did nothing? He’s just frustrated with the framing that Stan was *the* most important figure in the creation of these iconic characters.

Disney, the company who basically wrote Ub Iwerks (the co-creator of Mickey Mouse) out of history sidelining Kirby in favor of Lee? I’m shocked, shocked. Well, not that shocked.

What bugs me about all the debate about Lee, Kirby and Ditko is that it ignores the fact that these characters may have been created by them but dozens of other artists and writers have contributed to forming these characters. Some way more then these three.

Alright WB, time to get a parody biopic about the life of Funky Flashman produced.

I hate how Stan took credit for everything. He was undoubtedly important to Marvels success, but most of the marque characters wouldn’t exist with Kirby and Ditko.

I thought the finale was pretty great. Having it set mostly at Devi’s grandmother’ s wedding was an odd but effective choice & a nice opportunity to have lots of cool Indian fashions & accessories. And to get all her friends together one last time.
