You know how people said that Donald Trump was a poor person’s idea of a rich person? Adam McKay’s movies are a stupid person’s idea of smart movies.

If I was a a casting director and had to choose between Ferrell and Riley to play Jerry Buss, I’d pick Riley. He’s a much more versatile performer, is better at drama, and even somewhat resembles the man.

Even the trailer for Power of the Dog makes me incredibly uncomfortable. No thank you.

And while I gave up on Lost in Space early in the second season, I sure hope Molly Parker pops up again somewhere soon.

You are trying to make sense of dictatorship?

For the most part, it wasn’t a catastrophe. There seems to be this revisionist view of the show that it always sucked, but those first four (or so) seasons were amazingly good. And as much as people want to shit on Benioff and Weiss, they actually made (or at least presided over) some really good changes within the…

The whole initial GoT setup with the Starks being called to King’s Landing is 100% Dune. Which I liked, because he’s setting up an expectation to be later defied (in a good way, not a Star Wars sequels way) - Robb’s story follows Paul’s right up until it doesn’t.

It was a pretty shitty ending, but I don’t envy the writers. They had to fill in the blanks to a series that should have been finished a decade ago, if the author had any decent amount of work ethic. There are things that D&D could have done better, but the last two books (or if we are being honest, two half books)…

Problem is, you can’t make a restaurant out of gas-station pizza and orange soda.

For a fantasy/sci-fi work to do well on the movie or TV screen, you pretty much need at least one of there two things, preferrably both:
1) Amazing storytelling, either absolutely top-tier in quality or daringly innovative.
2) Elements of…

I read a quarter of the first book in 1992, fell asleep and left in in the seat back of an airplane. And literally never thought about it for second since. It left zero impression on me.

“Jordan takes some big swings, and while not everything connects…”

I feel like the last place I would want to be in a zombie apocalypse is 1) the most populous city in the country that 2) happens to be on a fairly small island.

It should have been “Train To Boston”. The whole point is they're getting out of the biggest city to a smaller coastal one!

The Book of Boba Fett, where he does a lot of bounty hunting works to grow market share while maximizing shareholder value.

Don’t sell yourself short. You’re a lot confused.

No, they were killed by Imperial stormtroopers.

It’s fine? Jessica and Leto are played by appropriately aged actors and it’s very normal to cast a person in their 20s to play a teen. I don’t understand why this is even an article, are you guys running out of things to talk about? 

That “The Spice” thing that everyone who’s read Dune keeps going on about? One of the reasons it’s as valuable in the fictional universe as it is is it extends lifespan, up to a factor of about three. Thus, you could argue from canon for the woman playing Jessica to be eight years older then the guy playing…

Okay, fair. But he looks really young! He looks like he could be a college freshman.

It’s not out of the question for Leto and Rebecca to have Paul in their teenage years, given that Leto is the duke of one of the greatest noble houses in the universe, and all that shit is tied up in bloodlines and whatnot, even in the year 10,000. When you come of age it’s time to make more heirs.

Did you seriously feel a need to write this article? Why? Whether a small development studio is all male or all female or what-have-you does not matter. Your statement of, “So, presumably, the founder had met at least a couple of women who were skilled enough to work at one of the highest-profile video game companies…
