You aren’t wrong, but I will say this, as someone who has played the majority of the Tomb Raider games going back to the original one: there really isn’t much there worth adapting in a faithful manner. It’s not a rich text. The original games were a mash-up of Indiana Jones and James Bond; the character of Lara was…

But almost four years and three very short seasons in, Bridgerton seems to have lost its shine. It makes you wonder, was Bridgerton ever actually good?

“Brutal to have to read an article referring to one person as ‘they’ multiple times.”

Brutal to have to read an article referring to one person as “they” multiple times.

I’m sorry you can’t parse proper English because the anti-woke crowd broke your mind to how pronouns work.

Yeah that must be so brutal for you. You gonna be okay?

“He knows what he fucking did!”

For sure. That little shit got to work significantly better hours and people treated him preferentially in other situations; for example he had an on set tutor and a female companion that he disgustingly called “mother”.

These are serious allegations and yet my first thought was “why the fuck did someone decide to make a series out of that lovely film?” Also, I grew quickly tired of Waititi’s schtick after Ragnarok, so it’s unlikely I’ll watch this even if it shows up on Tubi one day.

They’re gonna add that to New Zealand’s banned baby names list, surely. 

Excellent news. I really enjoyed the first season. Any time you can have Conan on your TV, its a good thing

I kinda liked A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966). It’s actually kind of neat how the musical is not only set in Ancient Rome, but has a plot taken from stitching together several comedies by the Roman playwright Plautus. And the songs by Sondheim are pretty good too.

Let me save everyone a google:

Kelly also had an incredible ass, truly.

Hey, we got Rebel Moon *instead* of a Zack Snyder Star Wars movie. That’s a good thing.

Yeah, perhaps with the exception of very story-driven games, like The Last of Us, you have to allow for artistic license otherwise nobody worth hiring is going to be showrunner.

Well, hey, it’s better than videogame companies like Microsoft and EA where they buy up creative talent (smaller studios) and then either close them down and fire everyone or best case scenario assign it to hacky bullshit that they never would have done when they were independent.

I think that all the time with criminal cases! “You could’ve walked away unscathed, but nooo. You got greedy.”

I also didn’t realize his bribes were from a guy trying to corner the New York Halal meat industry.  Just the chef’s kiss on the whole thing.

I still have that “final” VHS set before Lucas stared fucking with everything.  There’s a teaser at the front about seeing the movies in their original form “one last time.” Which seemed like marketing hyperbole at the time, as opposed to a legitimate threat.
