No one has more disdain for hacky YouTubers than I do, but the idea that there’s literal payola involved is one of the more hilarious delusions among would-be savvy pop-culture observers.

And a man that has exhibited literally some of the same behavior as this woman, lest we forget that he has admitted his years-long obsession and harassment campaign of Meghan Markle was because she flaked on hanging out with him.
Fall Guy hit on some great concepts and ran them right into the ground because of the constraints of the summer blockbuster. The same DNA would work great in other contexts. The pedestrian approach would be a straight documentary or GBBO style competition between stunt performers but I’d prefer five seasons of a…
You’d be shocked to learn that a significant portion of Glaser’s Netflix special is devoted to her cracking jokes about how much of a slut she is.
How is the existence of an entertaining end-credits stunt reel something of a surprise or an oddity? Have you never seen a Jackie Chan film?
Well, she blatantly tells them about herself, so it’s not like she’s upset about it.
Correct. The “no one knows what they’re doing” era of Pop music was the 90s, in which swing, big bang, quasi surf rock, ska, and The god damned Squirrel Nut Zippers all got chances to shine on “pop” stations.
His and Ryan Gosling’s recent tonsorial moves indicate that 2024 is to men’s hair what 1980 was to pop music: Nobody knows what the hell they’re supposed to be doing.
“Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey...stuff” is the exact level of science I need from the show,
“By that same regard, though, it’s likely some longtime fans might find it hard to stomach the changes to their favorite show, particularly its aforementioned shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy.”
Thank you. The idea that this show (which I love) has ever qualified as hard SF in any sense is just weird.
“shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy”? Doctor Who has been squarely in the fantasy camp for the vast majority of it airtime.
Just saw it and I’m glad i watched it and I’m glad I saw it in the theater. Probably my only complaint would bethe 6 teens that kept moving around in the theater, talking super loud, one facetiming with someone and another taking pictures of the rest of them with the flash on while others just kept running up and down…
Every couple of years Jerry gets a Bee Movie in his bonnet about how “woke” killed comedy and how you couldn’t make Seinfeld today. Then everyone gets upset and rightfully points out that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is still going strong and doing stuff that they couldn’t get away with on Seinfeld.
If this emphatically large-scale movie feels to you like “I’ll wait until it hits streaming,” then I imagine pretty much every movie feels like that to you.
Don’t wait. Forget the technical visual and aural advantages of a theater, The Fall Guy is a movie that needs audience vibes to shine. It’s funny and the practical effects are awe-inspiring and something chemical happens when you're with a large group of other people experiencing joy and wonder.
I mean, it’s a big action comedy with lots of neat looking setpieces, surely it plays better on a big screen right?
It’s borderline refreshing to hear a story of a major Hollywood celebrity who’s just kinda shitty to work with. Like, not quietly racist / misogynitic / homophobic / transphobic, not a secret QAnon dipshit, not flexing his status for sexual favor, not an Armie Hammer-style sex cannibal. Just a chronically late dick, us…
Love & Thunder’s mess is more on Taika’s shoulders. He clearly wasn’t interested in doing the film and should have said no.
I haven’t seen it so I can’t speak from personal experience, but from this article and a couple other things I read it seems like the movie itself is predicated on it being a twist. It seems like it takes the better part of an hour to actually reveal that part of the movie, which means audiences who have been told it…
