Yeah, I always though it would be neat to see a full Avatar cycle, with a earthbending Avatar in a near modernish world and then a 4th series with a firebending Avatar in a near future setting.

To digress a bit, see Crazy Rich Asians if just for Aquafina. She’s comedy gold and studios should be breaking down her door with offers.
“which eventually killed five people and damaged several more”
I can say with utter certainty that my wife and I saw Mystery Men at 12:30am the morning of August 11, 1999. She had to be at the hospital at 5:00am for a scheduled C-section and there was no way we were going to sleep that night, so we went to a post-midnight showing. The theater was rather empty but we had a great…
I suspect also that people made superhero parodies back then because it had never yet been established that the serious (-ish) superhero movie was a viable genre. You’d had the Superman films come and go, Batman was its own thing, but superheroes in general? Risky. So people who liked that kind of thing and wanted to…

Not Another Teen Movie is really funny. I will die on this hill.
So remember back in the first episode, when the Delos QA team is executing hosts on the beach. IIRC, there was a female host that was about to get shot, but then Rebus (still obviously in his virtuous mode) steps in front of her and gets shot. That’s a nice little piece of continuity.
It’s track seven at the below link. The snare roll is actually only 30_seconds long. I guess I was exaggerating.
Excuse me, James Marsden is a national treasure. Have you not seen Enchanted ??
Did y’all not see the bumper NBC did for her?
Looks like about $8 million/episode which is on the higher end.
You are just the worst kind of person.
Shut your face.
