So when does SNL give him his next chance?

I can’t imagine how nervous Ti West is right now, with Mia Goth suddenly seeming one stubbed toe away from going full Ezra Miller.

This franchise is really kind of a miracle. Still under the control of the same guy who created it, who has kept every bit of it full canon even through some wild tone swings, and it seems like just about every actor from its history is happy to come back on a level only before seen in Cobra Kai. And it even survived

So half “Oh right, we should probably give some backstory to this character even though she’s already dead” and half “Here’s sort of what we were planning for the rest of Clone Wars.” I’m on board.

No spoilers, but if the show stays true to the book’s ending, that’s going to add an...interesting wrinkle to this discussion.

And then there’s his most recent film Dumb Money, a hugely fun romp even if it was forced to come off as horribly naive about Elon Musk as its source material.

Let me spoil it for everyone: the moral is that it never mattered what side anyone was on because violence is always wrong and everyone should just hug out their differences.

Jeez, dude, all we said was it didn’t make sense for Texas and California to start a civil war together.

Ask James Somerton how this kind of thing turns out.

Pruitt-Taylor Vince could really nail it.

I’m hoping for The Sparrow, one of the most devastating examinations of how alien minds can be so different than ours that any contact would end in disaster despite the best intentions from both sides. Plus, the characters are all so great that I didn’t mind at all waiting half the book for the aliens to show up.

Is there any reason you’re bending over backwards to doubt this? The site gave the show a great review.

The entire rest of the cast also went out of their way in just about every interview to stress how nice and unlike Joffrey he was, clearly knowing this would happen otherwise.

I used to think the CBS execs were being really silly not letting Mary Tyler Moore play a divorced woman in her sitcom because they figured people would think she’d divorced Dick Van Dyke. Now I think they were just ahead of the curve.

Yeah, no to all of this. The original Blood and Honey genuinely sucked, a bog-standard generic slasher movie that thought just putting Pooh and Piglet masks on the killers would be enough to count, and with an unforgivably abrupt “not even trying” ending. It’s great if the sequel improves on that, truly, but let’s not

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?

Honestly, after a while of reading Fire and Blood I was just thinking “I hope they all die horribly.” Which is convenient given Martin’s writing style.

the Anjin (or “pilot,” as they call him)“

Congratulations, you’ve discovered what Shogun has deliberately been about since the original book. Even being entirely from Blackthorne’s perspective doesn’t hide that he’s an idiot blundering around and wrecking everything he touches, and for years now my line to sell the story to people curious about it is “Imagine

Well, there’s also the little matter that Josh was fully aware of what Brian was doing and did fuck all about it, even mocking Drake in public.
