One of my major complaints about H:ZD was that the backstory was so well-realized, so astonishingly bleak and delivered so well through the holograms and audio logs that I had a hard time focusing on the “current-day” events going on around Aloy. To the point that, after I got the cutscene where Faro revealed his…

TL;DR: Ted Faro is Son of a Bitch

Directors doing the press circuit to sell the GRIT and INTENSITY of their PG-13 movie is the most tedious thing about modern blockbuster filmmaking. This tired little routine where they do some work on behalf of the studio’s marketing department to sell the 18-34 audience that this film about a character routinely…

I was relieved to see that the bottom 3 ads in the USA Today AdMeter audience rankings were two of the crypto spots (The Coinbase one, obviously, as well as eToro’s, which I think was the one that used the crypto community’s “To the Moon” shibboleth.) Also finishing at the bottom was the Bud Light Next ad, which for…

I guess the best thing you can say about that ad is that it accurately takes you through the crypto experience: It all seems like fun, you’re having a great time, and then you reach the rugpull stage of the con.

I saw it, I thought “I bet this is crypto bullshit.” I scanned it, saw the URL pointed to Coinbase, and said “I knew it.”

I thought Joe Namath in a gambling ad would have the worst digital touch-up of the night, but then Crypto Dot Com came in with the steal.

Blockchain is a solution looking for a problem - and it’s a fantastically, fundamentally flawed solution for whatever problem it seeks to solve.

Very generous of y - oh. Pesos. Great, these zeros are all meaningless.

I don’t disagree with David O. Russell that his pitch is a compelling idea for a movie.

More importantly, you don’t really need that with Michael Rapaport at this point.

In addition to the good points others have made about “These shows are a slog to get through in a modern world,” it feels like yet another side-effect of the homogenization of the industry as a whole. The same accusations being leveled at big-budget PG-13 action franchises can be directed at Hollywood’s prestige…

I don’t remember the last time I heard West’s voice - can’t remember if it was a podcast/interview of some type or just his work on Disenchantment - but what I do remember is immediately thinking “Oh, he’s dropped an octave and it’s not a choice.” 

I hope they commit to the characters aging. Otherwise, they should’ve taken this opportunity to recast everybody. Billy West is going to be 70 in April...even one of the most talented voice actors to ever do it can’t keep sounding like a guy in his 20's forever.

Jurassic Bark is cheap heat. Luck of the Fryrish is the real waterworks factory.

If you follow the link about Tatum’s haircut, you get a 2014 Vanity Fair article with the terrifically hyperbolic headline “Channing Tatum’s Bizarre Golden Globes Haircut...Explained” accompanied by a photo of Channing Tatum rocking a slightly modified version of the most popular men’s hairstyle of that time. Think…

Damn, now that I know there’s a sequel coming I have the motivation I need to finally watch the movie Jon Gabrus dubbed “Heat For Idiots”

PONTIUS TONIGHT!
