Lady Tyler, I think you’ve expressed opinions about popular pirate history books before.

If someone was interested in real pirate history, what three books would you recommend to a layperson?

Black Flag let you swing from your ship to an enemy ship and get into sword fights with the crew, and Skull And Bones does not.

I also don’t buy the two rules-following teachers being the ones to think a workplace romance is a good idea.

Will they/won’t they romances are invariably the worst part of any sitcom anyway — and they definitely includes Friends, before anyone starts warbling on about Ross and Rachel.

The show’s strength is showing us…

“We can’t be racists! We have three or four whole Black artists we allow on country music stations! Not, you know, the most popular ones, but three or four others!”

Yes, I’m sure all the remaining Pythons, who have no other way of communicating with the outside world other than through you, all secretly agree with you, John Cleese.

I’m not sure why paying $30 for a bunch of digital stuff you’ll use a few times is worse than spending $30 for a pair of Funko Pops that most people will keep in their boxes for years before shipping them off to a landfill.

It’s $30 spent on a fandom. The people buying these portals weren’t going to be donating the…

$5 million is a pretty low ask. I’m guessing they are optimistically hoping to get grandfathered in to the ad-free tier.

Literally the least possible spin-off idea.

Give us a Faceless Men show, you cowards.

What’s weird is that Spider-Man-without-Spider-Man still gives them a big stable of good characters that they could do a standalone story with. But Morbius and Madame Webb are 100% not it. Venom is also a weird choice.

Kraven is an idea that might work, if they go with the standard set-up of him hunting superheroes for…

The people who don’t think Encanto was a big success for Disney don’t know any kids. It was inescapable for a year after it came out, with songs from the soundtrack hitting the top 100, every kid in the world singing them constantly, and the movie moved a lot of merch.

Disney doesn’t view cartoons as a success solely…

Surely The Lost City started off as a Romancing the Stone remake, right? It’s a fun movie, but it’s structurally almost identical to the older movie, down to the romantic interlude in town where the heroes inexplicably decide they’ve already won and take time out for makeovers and dancing.

but it’s not like they’re going to swing in the same direction as Marvel and make everything kind of self-aware and quippy. Right?

JFC, do any of the “superfans” they’re clearly obsessed with chasing now remember that the original movie was a coke-fueled comedy?

I blame this reverential bullshit on kids who took the cartoons way too seriously for way too long.

The film’s website is EDGLRD.com, which is just perfect. Is there an Oscar for domain names? Because there should be.

I don’t get it, how do the Na’avi factor in?

I wonder how much of his songwriting stopping and maybe starting again is related to his relationship with alcohol at the time. He’s apparently been sober for two years, which is great news, and now he’s writing songs again.

It’s OK, Dakota. We know.

It’s going to be CGIed out the wazoo.

We live in a post-Lego Movie, post-Barbie world. Everyone should stop being surprised when creative people take a “silly” kid’s movie more seriously.

This article is so weird. When the pandemic lockdown came, we redid a relatively unused dining room in our apartment to serve as a home office center and bought a decent, middle of the road cost printer.

We looked up reviews on Wirecutter and elsewhere and bought a (non-HP) printer. And it’s been fine. We’ve got four…
