I hoped that would be the main takeaway here— Transcribe those random roles videos.

I think it was a 20th Century production so it seems like they’d own it now? I don’t know if Universal licensed or bought all film rights or just for the one off though, so that probably hampers the easiest way to bring it back if anyone were to ever try.

I think that already happened in California but there aren’t (or weren’t) plans to do so to the towers anywhere else.

She’s barely brought up in the review but now I’m curious why Nicole Beharie is going by Nikki now apparently? I liked her in the first two-ish seasons of Sleepy Hollow and the poster, cast listing, and in-review citation didn’t establish if there’s any clear pattern behind it.

I thought there was something interesting about the new characters that seemed like they were going to be antagonistic foils (the other woman in power, a cowboy love interest, seemingly cruel cabaret host, and a physically statuesque dance instructor for the opposite show) but then they were all implicitly hurt by…

She’s been pretty delighted and proud about him self-submitting for an Emmy and actually getting that nomination, even if things were once bad enough that she’d release that track as a single.

The idea of “quota” is trickier than you might think. To some extent systemic efforts to address underserved demographics can legitimately be helpful. If people in their heads default to the idea that they’re just getting “the most talented person” for a role or job, they can still unwittingly end up with a mostly…

I got my points a little muddled, I basically meant it didn’t seem like they were going to introduce any internal revolt since the remaining Asgardian extras are no one.

This review was linked in the recent Hulu streaming post but I’m curious about your reaction if you ever got around to seeing the adaptation.

Well it’s sort of like race in that way, where representation can be important.

I don’t think there’s a single named character Asgardian left alive and as part of that tribe, so it seems like they’d leave that queen thing unchallenged. I do hope they don’t use that as an excuse to shuffle her out of the cast though?

There’s a weird fine line but I do get the idea of having to act a certain way and trying to take ownership of it and pretend you’re doing it for your own benefit.

I think the actors came to their own conclusions too however, that even if the window reveal wasn’t a part of that scene the bright red clean anniversary cake matched with the use of the color for some of the other red room scenes.

I’m not sure Billy counts as either metrosexual nor pretty? He seems pretty 1980s vain machismo, and it seems like they’re making an active decision to lean into a butch 80s styling and grossen up the actor.

I’m not even sure Gad is actively awful in anything I’ve seen him in, in my option, but for whatever reason I still really don’t care for him.

I’m a pretty big fan of Kidman who doesn’t see something like 80% of her output but it seems like she’s pretty eclectic. Maybe it’s since her big comedies (Bewitched and Stepford Wives?) have often done poorly but she’s had some funny beats in Paddington, Golden Compass, or even Australia that make me wonder when…

I love the fact that he thought that would be the most/only appropriate role for himself. Last I heard Greg Berlanti was in charge and I think the names I heard thrown around mostly were Rebel Wilson and Josh Gad.

Not remotely a teen but I actually really ended up digging the musical after it started autoplaying in an open YouTube window. I thought that Beautiful is particularly fun even if it has to serve as a nine minute intro track and there are hooks in some of the other tracks that seemed a little familiar but maybe…

Recently for me at least, it lists most of my local theaters and about 6-8 movies per day, but about half are very limited release films. When they do show up as playing near me, they may have limited hours compared to what they’re actually showing. (Based on comparisons with friends I think if you forget to use the…

I actually liked him based on Chronicle and his weird energy on podcasts but I definitely soured on his weird hardline stance on “Mary Sues” in Star Wars when of the three leads Rey had the most excuse to have diverse skillsets at the beginning of their trilogies, especially child Anakin.
