“Set 4 years before Grease was a thing, these four women and all other diverse characters were quickly rounded up and either killed or pariah’d after they graduated.”

I didn’t know the script was about there being a “real-world” that Barbie figures out. I don’t like that - I think it’d be much more whimsical and interesting to just play with the conceit that Barbie’s world is...the world, and we stay there the whole time.

I’ll still check this out for the production design alone but…

It was better than HotD. And the Hobbit movies. I’ll watch however many seasons they make.

Now I'm all sad again

Beetlejuice did it the best, although I found its songs overall lacking. But god that movie winked more than any other musical before it, and was better for it.

Good shout, I should look into it. I love a good ugly-cry.

Ever play What Remains of Edith Finch?

Good catch, I forgot they came out as non-binary. I'll masturbate in front of a TV as penance tonight. 

Ha, that’s awesome. Reminds me of that scene in The Invisibles where it’s pointed out that our timeline was actually created by white Europeans who were enslaved by African masters and had their afro-futuristic tech co-opted so the slaves could come back and “right the wrongs.”

Which probably hasn’t aged well but it’s…

China is huge due to potential growth but they were roughly 3% of AKB’s overall revenue. Nothing to sniff at! But also something that could be absorbed, as necessary, especially since the cost of working with China is WAY more than working with most other countries/groups.

And yet no one watched Willow god DAMN it

I’m already confused about what the British have to do with this but I guess I’ll watch the movie.

Exactly. If this is supposed to humanize Della more, we need more from Hazel than a quick phone call and seeing her silhouette on the bed. Have ONE SCENE together or something.

It’s the one part of the show that confuses me and that I dislike. It’s honestly easier to just imagine Hazel isn’t a thing and Della can just…

I say it every week - this show is like pulling a warm blanket over you. We deserve more shows this beautiful.

Just have her fucking break up with Hazel. I barely know Hazel but I feel so bad for her because Della is basically just having this great romance and we barely, BARELY see her acknowledge she’s in another committed relationship.

Almost time for my favorite show, Stedlasso

AppleTV is taking some pretty wild swings and I’m so here for it. Hello, Tomorrow has been AWESOME and I’m all for more high-concept half hour quirky shit. Let’s fucking go.

I love making fun of physical appearance and I’m literally what an AI would shart out when asked to make a “pale bearded guy who gave up years ago.”

Looks like his career is in Majors Pain now

Can we please get Ken Marino an Emmy. This revival has really shown what a truly committed and hysterical performer he is. Last few episodes I’ve nearly peed myself from his physical comedy alone.

Are any of them making video games specifically to spit on Roger Ebert’s grave?

But seriously, it’d be cool if they had a digital/game designer in there. Because games are art, yo.
