At this point they should probably just cancel it. Maybe have some of the characters pop up in other movies at most.

This is his third TD production, has other writing credits, and he has writing and direction control of this series. He’s delivering exactly what he wants.

I gave up on CAOS halfway through the season. The world-building is a mess, made even worse by the fact that the show has numerous characters with varying degrees of evilness who ALL have the same goal - to get Sabrina to devote herself 100% to Satan and their little group.

Its origins are a comic book that was meant to ape the 1970s sensationalist pulp horror rags. Hence the overdramatic title.

The fancy paper lantern is right.

Do you know any white women in their 40s or 50s? 

“Tannenbaum, perhaps fearful that his thread would invite scorn from Levine’s fanbase...”

No, he did the assignment, within the parameters of his employment. Tannenbaum specifically said he was hired because he makes his Q&As fun. Who are you siding with here? Management, or irrelevant rich assholes?

Sure. I’m not taking either side on this particular issue. My concerns are broader than that. It’s the stark declaration that “giving them what they want is a writer’s job” that’s bugging me. To me, that is basically the opposite of a writer’s job. As both a writer and someone who respects the role they play in a…

And what could we possibly learn about Adam Levine that would be interesting? 

More than slightly diva-ish. Complaining to the publisher about a fucking Q&A is lame. But, yes, Wenner was the one who made the call to fire him. I agree with that. 

But there were mixed messages here for sure. If he was given a one-year contract for his skill with fun Q&As, then it seems reasonable for him to have presumed that the magazine liked his style in selecting questions.

“I didn’t give them what they wanted, which is a writer’s job.”

The comic book was great, too bad they basically canned it to make garbage like this and Riverdale.

Siempre Bruja: I haven’t seen anything that was dubbed in so long, the trailer was really shocking...things used to be dubbed all the time.

I agree with some of what you said, but I think the reviewer made a good point a couple of episodes back about the distinction between ‘mystery’ and narrative obstruction/trickery. In a standard mystery story, we’re learning information, for the most part, alongside the characters, discovering secrets as they do. (Hays…

It’s funny because the highly qualified SecDef Mattis, who restrained Trump’s worst impulses, resigned in protest and was replaced by a hack corporate exec from Boeing with almost no military or government experience.

Looks like a bunch of European countries are going to need Boeing-made missile defense systems now.  Talk to our SecDef, he’ll hook you up.

Politics Corner - Trump pulled us out of the treaty that banned development of Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles. Who cares? We both have enough Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles to turn the world to ash, why bother with IRBMs when we have all these ICBMs? Because IRBMs can start the nuclear apocalypse 15…

True Detective Season 1 had similar sex trafficking red herrings with Woody Harrleson’s daughter - and it went absolutely nowhere.
