You’re just hoping they’ll instead pivot to focus on his long lost second-string brother Mike, aren’t you? I told you it’s never going to happen!!

I think the Daniel Craig movies have generally done better by its female characters. Eva Green, Olga Kurylenka, Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas, and Judi Dench all have good roles in the recent movies and many of them did not end up in bed with Bond (unlike pre-Craig movies where just about…

One of the TV critics on the BBC said “Netflix cranks out so much content they don’t stop to check if any of it’s actually good”.

No fandom that hates its own subject is more toxic than any other.

The problem with basically every fandom is that some of the people in every one of them build their whole personalities out of their devotion to that one thing. And then, because their personalities are just loosely assembled spare parts, they fall apart at the slightest jostling of the original work, and the people re…

even just psychologically.

They have Dark, which was a big hit outside of Germany. They have also bought for the US and a few other countries Babylon Berlin (which they haven’t developed).

This is CEO douchenuggetry 101:

Of all the streaming services I subscribe to, Netflix is the only one that’s allowed me to watch shows and movies from Denmark, South Korea, Germany, Spain, Japan, Brazil, France, and more. There’s a lot to criticize them about, but that would be a huge loss. Unfortunately they’re hampered by one of most damaging…

These streaming services thought their 2 year stellar performance (during covid lockdown) would persist.

The one movie I will ALWAYS remember him for is Death Race 2000.

The only thing her castmates care about is how long the show will run. They’ll be thrilled that after terrible reviews, someone else is jumping in, hopefully with some good publicity, and hopefully will keep them employed.

I imagine when Mississippi public TV officials in 1970 saw Sesame Street, this is how they reacted:

Judging witness credibility is the primary job of the factfinder (jury in this case, judge in bench trials).

“I think you might be under the impression that the system we have for meting out justice in American society is a fundamentally good one, and I’m afraid to say that you’d be utterly wrong.”

There’s nothing unusual about a juror trying to evaluate a witness’s credibility -- that’s a major function of the jury.  The juror here isn’t saying, “Amber Heard was sad, and I don’t like people being sad, so I punished her.”  He’s saying that the way she appeared upset, then suddenly not, over and over again, was…

Except witness testimony and behavior is part of the evidence. It’s why we have live testimony. The jury is able to see how the witness behaves in response to questions.  Body language makes up a large part of human communication, so it’s not to be discounted. If we didn’t think it was important trials would consist…

A few friends had a similar conversation with me not too long ago. I went to rehab and everything, and have been sober since. It really is crazy how much your life improves if you just let it. About to hit my 6 months sobriety date, which I know isn’t that long, but for me it’s a lifetime.

Huh, this really hasn’t been my experience! I enjoy experiencing the same settings, characters, and conflicts through different mediums, if only because it teaches me so much about storytelling,
