I, for one, won’t tolerate a comedian who doesn’t have his personal life together. John Mulaney is no Bob Hope, I’ll tell you that.

I did, but I think the viewer was supposed to get skeeved by a 70-something guy dating - and then impregnating - a 20-something girl out of principle, but also because it was an indication of what a terrible person Rupert is. It’s somewhat uncomfortable to me that the Sam/Rebecca thing, while not being quite as…

There were so many things that worked here that I’m willing to overlook the two that don’t. To me, those problem parts are:

The Emperor gives stewardship of the dessert planet Arrakis to Duke Leto, home to the colonized Fremen and the only place to mine Spice, the most valuable substance in the universe—a choice that enrages rival House Harkonnen.

“I saw Sicario (An adolescent power fantasy on how to right wrongs through the power of magical thinking)“

What’s truly incredible about these recent remakes is that for the most part, how much money they make is inversely proportional to their quality. Pete’s Dragon is clearly the best of them, but it made a drop in the bucket of what The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast all made, and those films are terrible.…

“The original had way too many white people in the cast...”

Fridging is more when a romantic interest of a more prominent character (most commonly a female love interest of a male character, but not always, see Tara/Willow in BTVS) dies for no other reason than to benefit that leading character’s story.

Eh, but they’ve also proved invaluable support systems for him. Ned’s a hacker and his best friend. May is his family. Michelle showed last movie that she could handle it. I also don’t think they’d choose to forget, if they could.

I tell people all the time that Tucker Carlson is lying. It doesn’t help.

Because they’re the people closest to him? Also, he’s still a teenager, therefore doesn’t think rationally when it comes to emotions?

Actually, he named about 4 or 5 people. Coates was his first choice, but he also supported Anderson Cooper and Ken Jennings, among others.

Exactly. Jennings might not be the most dynamic person, but he is witty, he did just fine during his stint, and he would bring a sense of continuity to the transition instead of an abrupt change. Plus, considering he was the first to host after Trebek’s passing, I think he intentionally kept his personality in check…

I thought Infinity War was better than Endgame. It had more gravitas, pathos and emotional impact. The scene where young Gamora asks in the Soul Dimension on whether the deed was done and what was the cost. Thanos replies that it cost him everything. In that moment one feels a little bit of sympathy for this…

Doesn’t this presuppose that character development can only be things that actually break down the character? Thor lost his eye in Ragnarok, because it turns out that Asgardians are actually mortal after all, even if it seems incredibly difficult to kill them. Losing that eye was a fine development to help him…

See, I thought Thor getting Stormbringer was a great misdirect. It’s the weapon that can kill Thanos!! He has to nearly sacrifice his life to get it! The handle is Groot’s arm! It sets up the 11th hour victory that usually happens in these movies! And it almost happens!
Yes, it ends up being a red herring, but that’s…

It’s a somewhat deliberate choice to have the episode resolve with a suggestion that lowered policing lowers crime rates, given the current controversy of skyrocketing violent crime rates thought to be linked to reduced policing.

Because Thor’s side quest was more interesting?

I struggled with this episode a lot more than I thought I would. Don’t get me wrong, I found it to be just a fun heist episode and thought there was a lot of funny beats. Especially Korath was such a constant barrel of joy here, each line just making bust out laughing.
