I was a 13-year-old boy in the long, long ago, and I am 100% here for Kathryn Hahn and Patti LuPone.

Hey, marketing? Could we talk a minute?

She was incredibly funny in the sitcom Ben & Kate, which really played to her dry and awkward style. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of range though, and she keeps ending up in roles that really aren’t written right at her.

The term he wanted was “precognition,” though you could kiiiiinda argue that she’s also clairvoyant, because she has visions of the future of places other than right here.

There’s no jury if he pleads guilty...

It’s a made-up word referencing Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, a Parisian horror theater in the early 20th century.

Very.

This is such a fantastic piece of adaptation, and I hope this creative team gets to continue with the story post-Interview.

It absolutely wasn’t. It was piling the toys up on the BBQ, lighting it up, and saying “put them back in the box yourself if you want.”

Yes, they certainly could rework the early aughts into the 90s art style. But considering this is a nostalgia-bait project getting only 10 episodes in the season and includes Lifedeath (1984) and the MLF (early 90s), I’d be shocked if the remainder of at least the first season doesn’t remain 80s and 90s inspired.

Interesting that you’re jumping to E for Extinction, when Morrison’s run had a decidedly non-90s vibe to it, rather than Operation: Zero Tolerance, the X-Men crossover event...from 1997.

Irulan did not appear in Part 1, she is played by Florence Pugh in Part 2.

GYAH

Oh, I’m not saying they can’t make it work. I just don’t understand why they would want to. Everyone who has ever seen Lynch’s Dune remembers St. Alia of the Knife looking all spooky and weird. 20 years from now, the best response an ATJ appearance would get is “hey, remember Paul’s sister in that Dune movie?” “Uh,…

You’re mixing up Gambit and Sinister. Gambit was always just Gambit (though he was briefly teased as the Third Summers Brother). Claremont imagined Mr. Sinister as the public face for a villainous immortal child.

But Alia is physically 4 years old at the end of the book. Why would you abandon the amazing Creepy Child visual in favor of just wedging ATJ into yet another thing?

Kingdom is set several centuries after the original trilogy. I suspect they WILL be claiming that she scavenged the clothes, but there’s some real plausibility issues there.

There is no evidence that Erin Moriarty suffers from a “plastic surgery addiction.”

And are we supposed to pretend like Persona 4 and P4G were abject failures?
