Did it really have that attitude? Mrs. Banks is a bit of a flibbertigibbet but I don’t see that movie belittling her cause. I sure as hell can say it was my first exposure to the concept of the suffragette.

I am just old enough to remember when Elvis died and how shook up my Dad was. I was hoping that all his fans would have died off by now and Elvis would be just history.

I don’t understand why this is even controversial. It’s an adaptation of something that already existed before Gerwig sat down to write it. She used several characters that previously existed she did not create. It’s an adaptation.

I didn’t expect to see this set, but I was at my parents’ home when they decided to watch. (While I educate where I can, I don’t police what my family watches.) So, I sat through this before reading about it. And, I have to say, this article nails it. He sounds like an old fool; one of those guys you’ll hear in any…

I feel like people forget (or were just too young to experience) how pretty much all of the best episodes of the X-Files were the standalone episodes. Home. Squeeze & Tooms. Ice. Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose. Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. The Post-Modern Prometheus. Bad Blood.

I’m with you on the episode count, but I’m not sure about the important/interesting distinction. I remember watching the first season of Jessica Jones and being baffled that a show about a private detective had zero cases of the week. Or maybe there was one, but it turned out the case was a trap and it all just became…

I think there’s room for both, but for me Doctor Who doesn’t need season arcs, big bads etc. In fact I would say that I remember a lot of Doctor Who episodes from its modern era reboot but am very hazy on what any of the season arcs were all about.

I think it’s because there’s a built in audience for this kind of thing, or rather, a couple of built in audiences. One group who sees it as “sticking it to The Man” to fuck with Disney stuff (which, tbf, they aren’t entirely wrong), one group who just gravitate to any sort of “thing for kids but totally messed up,…

I used to feel the same way, but cheap horror versions are usually the first thing people see because cheap horror movies are *cheap* and can be pumped out quickly. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “Cheap, fast, and good; pick two.” Eventually we will get good adaptations of Steamboat Willie or Winnie the Pooh, but it…

“Copyright expired”

Horror is cheap and unfortunately with the success of crap like Blood and Honey, you don’t need even a decent budget to be extremely profitable.

Why is it whenever something enters the public domain, the first thing it spawns is a cheap horror version? It’s fucking lazy and makes me think our excessive copyright laws aren’t such a bad thing after all.

Yeah, I’m still not over the way they did Peggy in that damn movie. 

Oh that’s right. I forgot that the writers and actors that went on strike aren’t technically “employees.”

Disney treats their employees a whole lot better than most large corporations.

Disney could try treating its employees better and see if that results in higher quality work. A wild concept, I know.

He wasn’t exactly a villain; he didn’t make crass and racist jokes because he was ideologically driven. David Brent tells jokes because he just wants people to like him, and he often knows when he’s crossing a line.

The best part is always when they say “The network will never put that one on the air.” Except you just heard the joke, so clearly they did.

If you consider that you are in essence still paying for content (shows) that you will never watch, it still kind of fits the mold.

Almost fully transitioned back to the Cable model again, lol.
