Neil Gaiman’s 1998 novel of the same name, itself an expansion of his earlier comic-book miniseries.

Isn’t there a third possibility: That he is genuinely reading the book (maybe on Kindle), and didn’t notice/remember that it was going to update his Goodreads status publicly?

I wouldn’t go that far, but I like it a lot.

To really get the effect sought by the headline editor, I think you would have to rewrite it to something like “Netflix’s spy thriller Ghost In The Shell: SAC_2045 is tepid, techno.”

Dune was originally written as a trilogy of three shorter books, on the assumption that it was too long to publish as a single volume (though ultimately the publisher decided to go all in and do it as one book).

Wings is OK, but in the “sitcoms revolving around single-plane airlines” category it runs a distant second to Cabin Pressure.

There were certainly misogynist dipshits who raised a fuss about TLJ, but it is extremely disingenuous to suggest that anybody with criticisms of it are motivated by a dislike of women or brown people . But the fact that the AVC keeps briging up those buttholes in an article about Ridley’s reaction to the Rise of…

WW2 lead to the New Deal.

The hook isn’t just the “mystery,” but the fact that it’s told retrospectively by an unreliable narrator, with things like jumps in chronology. And that was the source of some of its greatest gags—I don’t think it would have been as good without it.

It seems unfathomable to me that they wouldn’t film a bunch of different versions of those scenes, giving themselves enough leeway to construct a bunch of different narratives (using green screen and ADR if necessary). What if Cobie Smulders had left the show halfway through and they got some other character to…

It does, thank you!

Rogen is wrong about the scale. If we assume a person is 150 lbs and the set is at ×2.5 scale, that would mean the Cats weighs about 10 lbs, because weight is linked to volume, which scales as the cube of the size along one dimension.

a ceremony that involves people with titles like Mace Bearer (this is not figurative; the bearer holds an actual mace)

The question is, did it see him?

Well said.

If the story is that Indy is a consultant on the Raiders of the Lost Ark production, I could get behind this film.

Thanks, will look out for them!

No, it’s Spacing Guild in the game, just a mistake in the article.

Yeah, don’t name them or anything…

You’re putting an awful lot of weight on three letters that are basically just a standard shorthand (perhaps even AV Club mandated style) for “has died.”
