Or Mo Cheeks helping out Natalie Gilbert when she blanked on the anthem before an NBA playoff game:

I don’t think that the Everything Everywhere All At Once-sparked Ke Huy Quanissance had happened before Dial of Destiny had really gotten into pre-production.

My biggest problem with SM3 isn’t actually the too many villains or the dancing or any of the things people normally point to, it’s actually the Sandman plot. Retconning him as the guy who kills Uncle Ben completely undercuts the Spider-Man origin story. If the guy who Peter fails to stop isn’t the one who offs Ben,…

“Christ, you’re seriously planning to announce a cartoon version of Watchmen with a really ugly art style? When were you planning to do it?”

You completely missed the point of Laena’s death. Her baby was never born. She knew she would die in childbirth. She chose to be immolated by her dragon because she was a dragon rider - you know, a warrior - and wanted to die a warrior’s death. She may not have been a character that was around for a long time, but she…

It’s the smarmy superiority that does it for me.

But House Of The Dragon was far from finished. In “The Princess And The Queen,” Daemon’s second wife, Laena Valeryon (Nanna Blondell), endured a traumatic labor that she survived, but her infant didn’t. Immediately after giving birth, she staggered out of her bedchamber and onto a Pentosi beach, where she…

I also like the over the back shot of Gus walking back to the party in Salud. It’s relatively brief but still impressive and, in context, badass. 

Even if we ignore the datapad issues entirely, being unable to view the show due to poor theater design combined with assigned seating is absolutely unacceptable for the price, and paying $160 for photos that were never taken and then being forced to wield internet clout to get a refund is unacceptable regardless of…

there would have been a tidal wave of negativity in the culture about it if this was happening at a large scale

Given the issues people reported with getting glitches / plotlines fixed, given how relatively short the experience actually is for everything it tries to cram in, and given how long it can take to realize things aren’t working (as opposed to just assuming it’s all working as intended and you must be missing…

>I did watch the video. I also went on the starcruiser. You don’t get assigned a path. You just don’t.

So all the evidence Jenny provides of other customers that had her experience are just what, made up?

Watch the video. She’s not the only one who had the experience of being assigned to a faction that had nothing to do with her interactions.

I’ve seen a lot of movies, which means I’ve seen a lot of bad movies.  They were all bad for their own reasons.  But no movie has made me as ANGRY, enraged at the squandered opportunity, as Bonfire of the Vanities.  Like if Vanilla Ice secured the exclusive rights to a previously undiscovered Mozart symphony and…

If you like that sort of thing, also read Michael Seller’s John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood (about the making of the flop John Carter movie) and Glen Berger’s The Song of Spiderman (about the fiasco that was Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark).

Exactly. The first was what most of us expected.  A cheap gimmicky cash grab with no heart.   I suspect this one isn’t going to be much better.   80 schlock horror had heart, which the first one of these didn’t even attempt to have 

100%. It excelled in the comedy part but fell flat in the romantic part. You don’t care to root for the central couple at all because Harper comes off as such an asshole, which is why everyone wants Kristen Stewart and Aubrey Plaza to run off together.

This whole piece is so unnecessarily snide and defensive over an okay romantic comedy from four years ago. As if we need to go to the mattresses against the baying hordes over goddamn Happiest Season of all things. Like, when’s the last time anyone’s even mentioned it?

this has been my takeaway, too. and as an unfortunate side effect, it means dan levy’s speech–great in a vacuum and well-performed–completely falls flat as the “gotcha” it’s clearly intended to be to its audience

The subhed on this article is wholly unrelated to any of the facts contained therein. Simple lack of editorial chops, or were we all supposed to be baited by a baseless implication that DeMayo’s race and/or sexuality were somehow factors in his dismissal?
