Seattle is irritatingly about 3.5 hours away from both Vancouver, WA and Vancouver, BC so shared names in different countries doesn’t always work out either.

I think the casino planet really could have worked if it were more clearly a temptation and/or if the characters staged more of a perfect heist that still ultimately didn’t work.
I think it was just after Don Jon it seemed like he kind of disappeared from prominence for a little while, even though that seems to essentially only have been three years?
Is Elaine May kind of analogous? Starting off in comedy (albeit improv) and in front of camera stuff to writing and directing? Taika Waititi seems kind of similar too but happened afterward. Albert Brooks maybe?
I think there’ve been a lot of headlines or articles that tried to give more context, but even after reading some of the explainers some of the specifics got muddled along the way. (I wanted to see the movie first and maybe the late wave ones I caught really erased some of the narrative.)
I didn’t realize there are a couple places that do it until I just googled, but my hometown had a place that did Cajun-style pho.
I could have sworn that was a much older phrase I mostly associate with minority academia (and maybe eastern influenced philosophy?) but I’m having trouble pinpointing any particular origin.
He did have that fairly messy public separation (then apparently reunion) early in the pandemic that also led to some travel controversy— but it kind of seems like of anything actively awful happened in his past then that press coverage would have made it come up sooner?
It just seemed like there would be more to gain from having others do the work and coasting on acclaim— but then again HBO/WB/et al did just cancel Lovecraft Country a day or two before it did surprisingly really well with Emmy noms. (Is that since they were already vaguely aware the showrunner was jumping ship to…
Is it likely to be that petty? Like there is that quasi studio system thing going on of some actors constantly turn up elsewhere in that media empire’s toys once they’re a known quantity (like the various Marvel/Star Wars/Disney recurring actors) but I figured that’s more coasting on preexisting positive feedback.
It seemed like she was actually annoyed with the “why aren’t we thinking alike” line but I’m not sure the show really established how alike they were meant to be in the first place. (It seemed like she had a bit of a horrified dawning realization the first time Loki was about to confess his love?)
I honestly could not figure out what the implication was there, that makes great sense. (Granted a Kang was always behind the TVA it sounds, so at first I thought the implication was that somehow word got out that he was martyred in whatever alternate dimension Loki ended up in and that there were multiple TVAs out…
I got the impression they recognized his face if not his background— so maybe there’s a Loki variant that’s an analyst in their alternate world. I didn’t actually see him in the episode but Eugene Cordero was credited as playing a Hunter this episode instead of whatever Casey was.
The Tonys still haven’t happened from last year but there’s something impressively cruel in their rules.
There was plenty I liked about Lovecraft Country despite so many incredibly baffling decisions— but I’m a little surprised both that Jamie Chung didn’t get a nomination for guest performance and how utterly pointless that character ultimately ended up being, beyond the single episode focused on her.
Since I don’t live anywhere near these parks, I have no idea how often these haunts are licensed from big hits, regardless of who owns the IP?
Did I miss some dialogue that spelled out that Thanos conclusion? I figured that was just establishing the connection between the Richard E Grant’s older Loki and indicating he probably wasn’t going to be the big bad Loki I assumed he might play.
I thought that was a really great episode only for that character to ultimately not serve any purpose in the finale. (Also it was a slightly bizarre choice to have so many of the protagonists commit some generally unsavory actions.)
I think the Vanity Fair podcast got me to pay tons of attention to the quirks of the credit sequences but around Falcon and the Winter Soldier apparently people could guesstimate the number of major players coming up in future episodes since they would keep the card regardless if they happened to be in that given…
Does the show really have a redemption arc in mind? They essentially montaged their way back towards his end of movies status quo, even without him necessarily experiencing that stuff first hand, and while that adds some predestination paradox stuff it didn’t seem like he killed nearly as many civilians as he did in…
