I think the headline is playing fast and loose with the meaning of “scandal” to describe what led to Maggie Roswell’s exit from The Simpsons. That just seems like a contract negotiation that didn’t get concluded.

Not thinking about Ronny Cox seems like the type of mistake Bob Morton would make.

I think Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tom Hardy face the same problem as Idris Elba: They’re just too old (45) to begin a 10- to 12-year run.

I’ve heard his name bandied about on boards — hell, I may have done so myself — and am still stunned by how great a bit of casting that would be.

Piggybacking off all the (correct) comments about G4 being from a different media age: Why didn’t Comcast/NBCU put some of the programming on Peacock?

I hope the virus continues to treat you and your family mildly. Hopefully the end of this is much closer than the beginning. (Just remembered earlier this evening that I’m eligible for the bivalent booster shot tomorrow, so I need to find a place for it.)

That’s a pretty accurate description of where I am in the U.S. There are still people who do the smart thing and try to protect themselves -- myself only occasionally among them, I have to admit -- but it feels very much like we’re willing to forget about the 1 million (U.S.) already dead and the 9/11's worth dying…

Thank god we can trust the fanbases to make them playable on Quest/Index on PC. Just a matter of when, not if.

Maybe the games going forward are no longer going to deal with conflict with the mob?

The worst of the layoff stories I saw on Twitter: Imran Khan got laid off while sleeping over in Japan while covering TGS.

Release and sell (to non-GamePass users) this version first and then do the same with the 360 remaster. The number of people who would want to buy the former when the latter is available -- especially if/when it actually has “switch between old and new graphics on the fly” functionality -- would be low.

Didn’t expect to see a Ramones reference at the start of a movie review — especially in 2022 — but I’ll take it.

Yep. During the month of August, its listing on Paramount Plus said “LEAVING AUG. 31,” but it’s still there now.

My biggest problem is: I’m not entirely sure which storefront I have them bought on.

As Zack points out, there is some dreck included, but wildly outnumbered by the bangers (if you split the various collections into their component titles). Besides, it seems like a great cause, so I’m willing to bite the bullet on this.

I didn’t realize it was a repost until the “Swing Shift” slide tensed its verbs in a way that implied Demme was still alive.

Don’t feel bad: I posted a similar Parasite Eve thought on Twitter before starting the slideshow, and immediately deleted it.

Judas: The Original Swatter

Pretty obvious that the man who fell to Middle-earth is David Bowie.

Pretty sure YouPorn’s motto is “Stream peeking.”
