I mean, no model is going to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be 24 episodes, but it’s gotten down to 6-8 episodes a lot of the time. 20 would be good for some shows. Maybe it’s more of a grind for some people involved. Maybe they take different breaks. Instead of the old model of going September-May, they go…

Never going to understand why people keep trying to rehabilitate one of the worst movies ever made. The thrill of an actual race or even of a movie where they use real cars is completely absent, the crowd reactions are terrible, the announcer is terrible, the faces people keep pulling and the kid keep pulling are…

“I got a Community notification for this?”

“Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey...stuff” is the exact level of science I need from the show,

“By that same regard, though, it’s likely some longtime fans might find it hard to stomach the changes to their favorite show, particularly its aforementioned shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy.”

“shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy”? Doctor Who has been squarely in the fantasy camp for the vast majority of it airtime.  

She saw him pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it must be serious.

The ground work for this was set two decades ago with Captain Jack. Think of how beloved that character is and how Captain Jack would bed anyone and anything that he thought worth the effort.

I’m sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. What could go wrong?

Meh, was the same shit with all the boys bands back in the day. And the current K-pop bands. It’s called Tween Fandom Gonna Tween Fandom. 

Happy 30th anniversary to that time a runaway planet hurtled between the Earth and the moon and cast man’s civilization in ruin.

I’m a huge VanderMeer fan, so I tend to go into movie versions of books I like with muted expectations. But I’m also a big Garland fan, so there was some conflict there! Anyway, I loved the movie as its own Garland standalone thing, but my brain reading the books created way more terrifying images of Area X than what…

Had an exchange with someone on another thread about this very topic - there was a BOOK article yesterday! I hesitate to become optimistic given the protracted trends but can’t really help myself.

I don’t know if that Letter’s to Cleo shirt was just something they found because it looked like it would heighten the depths of Ben’s depression or it was Adam Scott’s old shirt, but boy did it finally pay off a few seasons later at the music fest.

He wasn’t great. But I can’t really hold a 9 year old accountable for a bad performance. It’s not like he’s a professional who had spent decades honing his craft or dreaming about the project. Unlike the guy who wrote his part and directed his performance.

The prequel trilogy is as despised as it always was by the people that despised it. The difference is that the opinions of 8 year olds who loved the movie at the time didn’t count and now they’re in their 30s and are counted as part of the conversation. I would guess the number of adults who saw it in theaters and…

You never heard about anyone getting molested or harassed on You Can’t Do That On Television.  Gen-X wins again!

Divvying up the electoral votes proportionally would do similar work, but the math of the electoral system is still disproportionate. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is where states pledge to give all their electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote, and only going into effect if they have enough…

“and there are mixed feelings about it from veteran actors”

Lol, if that shit didn’t work for Wesley Snipes, why would he think it would work for him?
