I’m not accusing G/O Media of constructive dismissal. But if you wanted to constructively dismiss some people, this would be an excellent way to do it.

Or like moving your your office to the west coast and not giving your writers a cost of living increase.

It's sad because all of these stories were themselves once new and innovative.

Literally anything new or unexpected

Have you ever met a Star Wars fan? They don't want to be challenged, they just want to be wrapped in a familiar blanket.

“Fired” in this context often means “not asked back”, which doesn’t require any justification, although the actor might be able to file suit if they can prove there was some kind of discrimination.

No, you really didn’t. This kind of copyright issue is new and would have caused chaos in the old days.

I can’t believe they made a Ghostbusters movie without one of the main characters: New York.

It's superficially a zombies-on-a-train movie, but I think it tackles some deeper issues, like what would happen if we punched zombies.

Civil War kind of does, a bit? I think it’s stands out for having a final battle that’s about actual character conflict, rather than the “we must get the mcguffin before the explodey thing explodes” that bookends almost every other Marvel movie.

I genuinely hope they never mention the timeless child again. Just... pretend it never happened, like the doctor being half human.

Yup. Dowd’s cranky review was way off the mark. I’m looking forward to doing a Craig watch-through once it’s out on BluRay.

Oompa loompa, doobadee ninja

Exactly this

Counterpoint: the best moment in Kanye’s career is his rap in American Boy.

I also thought it was Kelly Brook

Right?!? It is not boring, which is more than you can say about a lot of other movies.

It depends on the money. And literally nothing else.

The show’s relationship with football is baffling. The Championship playoff is one of the most cinematically thrilling events in sport (known as The Richest Game In Football given that the winners will earn millions in the Premier League.)

Just saw the Aretha Franklin biopic and I can confirm that everyoneis still using the Dewey Cox template.
