The success of The Mandalorian and Andor would be arguments against the thesis of this article. It isn’t about the franchise belonging in one story format or the other, it’s about that story itself. 

I can’t really relate, and it’s stereotyping, sure, I get that, but to me it comes off a bit like “Why do all the German characters in movies set from 1940 onwards always have to be the bad guy?”

Thank you. It’s intensely frustrating to watch people spout the party line bullshit and try and convince (me? themselves?) that he’s anything but an old man who isn’t anywhere near sharp enough to do the job.

I’ve had people tell me: yeah, but it’s really the team that does all the work, the president doesn’t need to…

Biden was holed up in Camp David for a week (supposedly) prepping immediately prior to the debate. The “jetlagged” excuse is patently absurd. A stutter doesn’t induce you to say things like “we finally beat Medicare” or, when the other guy is talking, just kind of stare off into space with your mouth half open like…

It baffles me that people keep framing it this way. Yes, Trump sucks. Yes, Biden is the better choice between the two of them. But why is he the choice?

I’m of Cornish ancestry, and am aware that my people went pretty much anywhere there was a significant mining operation. This means that there are Cornish families throughout Brazil and Mexico - apparently Cornish pasties have their own Mexican variant that are quite popular - so I imagine there are probably a bunch…

It used to get somewhat spirited debate every year, but at this point it’s been pretty well established that claiming the song is rapey is just clickbait. Even a cursory listen to the words tells you that the woman in question:

People obviously have different releationships with their phones because I don’t find the SMS option anywhere near infuriating. Even if you don’t make a habit of staring at your phone, if you’re waiting for an important message, it feels like a small inconvenience to increase the volume and turn on vibrate to make…

The Acolyte has already been super interesting just from how the need to make the show look interesting without a single established character to fall back on has forced the marketing team to flex muscles it hasn’t used in years.

The work never ends for professional victims

Have they had a *good* experience on a film in the past 10 years?

lol, anyone that still hires this dork knowing that she is gonna turn around and use their production for social media clout by throwing them under the bus, deserves what they get.

how does the go saying about “if you meet an asshole, you met an asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole...”

I was just going to say, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any story involving this woman which hasn’t been about her claiming something horrible happened to her behind the scenes.

I feel so bad for Charlyne Yi. She seems to get abused on every project she works on.

Man I just hope we don’t get so much Dune content that we’ve had enough of it before the next film. One series does not doe that by any stretch, but I don’t want to see this go the way of Star Wars and Marvel where there’s so much to watch that there’s not a lot left to the imagination (and too many opportunities to…

That Netflix and producer Clerkenwell Films failed this dramatically in their duty of care toward the show’s subjects is awful.

I mean sure they could have, but I suspect she still would have been identified because tweets are forever, I guess (don’t use twitter.)

Seems clear to me the difference is the Friars’ Club traveled in the same circles and knew the precise degree of disaster one another were, and boy were they all, while these last 30 years of ComFlix roasts-for-hire have mostly been A. any random person available for any random person available, and B. full of…

Where do you stop? Who gets left out? My point is that you need a word that encompasses all people who may fall within by default. OR stop worrying so much about labels.
