The success of The Mandalorian and Andor would be arguments against the thesis of this article. It isn’t about the franchise belonging in one story format or the other, it’s about that story itself. 

I could see one of his headlines:

Nice song list AV Club and congrats on the Editor-in-Chief job, Ms. Chavez. The St. Joe Strummer line in “Constructive Summer” rang pretty true for me when the record came out. I’m looking forward to seeing who sings it. Also, if GWAR covered “Naked as We Came,” that would be pretty funny.

I don’t think the point of the feature is to highlight the best bands of any country.

Unfortunately, INXS was the best Aussie band that Australia could come up with.

The trailer seems fine, maybe a little meh...I guess I like the cherry blossoms?

Should have been Stephen Lang

Yeah, Thunderbolt Ross is defined by his mustache, the only reason Sam Elliott was cast in the Ang Lee Hulk was his glorious, glorious mustache.

I can’t be the only one who’s crushingly disappointed by the lack of ’stache on Harrison Ford?

I still can’t get over how they spent like $250 million on Secret Invasion and I guess none of that went to hiring a competent writer? That show was shockingly terrible.

All the lore implications aside, the main thing I want out of a Marvel series now is for it to be, you know, competent. Almost all of them have had the same problem of being paced weirdly and having irritating plot holes and character behavior that wouldn’t pass muster on your average network procedural show. Marvel…

He's a real dean-va!

40 years his junior? idk where you got your math degree buddy but she was 20 years old and he was in his mid-40s in 2003. Not getting into age gap discourse, but that’s 20 years not 40 lol

Tortoise Media, which as I write this is the only source for this story, is a far right podcast strongly tied to Boris Johnson, and best known for screaming about trans people. Neil Gaiman has been hugely critical of Johnson ever since he came onto the public scene, and is currently doing multiple projects with strong…

Scarlett alleges that Gaiman assaulted her within hours of their meeting in his New Zealand residence in February 2022, when she was hired as a nanny for his child. The two apparently shared a bath where, according to Gaiman, they only “cuddled” and “made out” with consent.”

When I interviewed Philip Baker Hall for Bullz-Eye and asked him if the second season of THE LOOP was a tax-write off for Fox, he went into that kind of thing as well. It was very educational. http://www.bullz-eye.com/2008/08/08/interview-with-philip-baker-hall/

One of the first episodes of “Made in Canada” (a dark sitcom about a TV producer, known as “The Industry” when it briefly aired in the USA) was about the phenomenon that killed “Andy Barker PI”. Executives will always sabotage any project that they didn’t personally greenlight in order to prevent a rival executive from…

Who would have thought an old british hag would be intolerant?

Thank God the fanbase have largely abandoned Harry Potter because of her views. That video game that came out a couple years ago was a huge flop, right? They should’ve made it live service with identity swapped characters.

Maybe not so much for entertainment, but there’s value for researchers, journalists, academics...  There are thousands of interviews with politicians and others who aren’t often interviewed for example.
