Ironically, it’s very funny that Zaslav wants to kill the mid-budget DC streaming projects when Disney is in the middle of what appears to be a very successful pivot to doing exactly that to fill gaps between their major MCU theatrical releases.

It’s not that hard to tell a good Superman story. He’s a good guy who stands up to bullies. That’s the gratification the audience gets. The stakes come from the way sometimes the bad guys’ schemes are so villainous that Superman may not be able to overcome them. The dramatic growth comes from the fact that Superman…

Add medical insurance companies, and you’ve got yourself the trifecta of shitty assholery.

Where would America have been in the 20th century without the Interstate making the economy hum? This charging network for the 21st century is completely equivalent—the system doesn’t work, doesn’t reach the synergism that it should, unless the network stretches coast-to-coast. So yes, I will call these tax dollars…

It’s not an investment. It’s gambling. Gambling is a form of entertainment.

When the jackpot gets big enough to be in the news, I buy tickets. For me, it’s worth a few bucks to have the chance to win, and to dream about what you’d do with the winnings.  Dreaming about $1000 isn’t worth a dollar to me.  I don’t dream…

I bought one for my 1977 MGB. I’ve got a bluetooth speaker tube in the back, and the car thing on the vent in the front. I don’t have a radio/head unit, so this does the trick for a weekend car. I did pick it up right after the price drop though. It’s a no-go at $90.

I think in a very real way, those weddings were the climax of the series. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the books or watched any of the show, but I think after Joffrey’s death the initial war for the Iron Throne is pretty much over (or at least, there’s no longer a real credible way for the story to stay…

Just write the damn book, George. No one asked for this show or the book it’s based on. The short stories that the book was based on were fine when they were just small supplemental material for the main series. But like, a show based on a book based on short stories set centuries before the mainline books? I don’t…

As prices settle to pre pandemic levels, I will not be forgetting the shops that were the most exploitive and mercenary. I hope everyone else does the same.

Oh thank God. I feel like all we were missing in this debate about human rights and medicine was the deeply informed opinion of a professional football coach.

That is totes a chip butty!

I continue to think that the whole idea of a blood feud between Scorsese and Marvel fans is wildly overwrought. Scorsese basically said Marvel movies weren’t movies. A bunch of people disagreed with him — some loudly, some unnecessarily rudely, but that’s life in the NFL. No one tried to cancel Scorsese. No one tried…

Ah yes, the days of my youth when we lined up around the block to get tickets for fucking Fanny and Alexander.

Snyder is actually an interesting creative with distinct vision

I guess I’m just not sure what the point is of coming onto an article about the devastating consequences of abortion being taken away, only to scold some imagined non-voters or Jill Stein voters for some imagined crime of theirs from 6 fucking years ago. If it makes people feel better to shit on a bunch of random…

Following the thread down is worth it.

Bless his heart.

If the books never come out then they cant end the same way as the show.

The Biden administration reportedly had considered declaring a public health emergency that would allow them to do more, according to Bloomberg Law, but “ultimately decided against the move.”

Sir, I think your monocle fell into your tea.
