“...a period action drama starring Statham and Dench riding a whale.”

Oh, some people are. Some asshole morons, but still.

Good. Literally nobody is blaming the actors for this strike.

That’s the whole point of the push for top-to-bottom automation — so the wealthy can completely eliminate any dependence they have on the rest of humanity, once and for all. Sure, it won’t be ‘as good’ as what actual people can do, but it’ll be good enough that they won’t care anymore, because it’ll be infinite,…

The studios have no doubt been licking their lips at the prospect of scanning actors and reusing them endlessly in whatever they fancy for free. They’re not going to give that up easily.

Excellent point made by someone on Twitter:

So it’ll only be a matter of what, a generation before these Right Wing Christian Ethnostates have no more OBGYNs?

I’m loving the new bad faith argument that people won’t be able to understand that a character who was a kid in 1995 won’t be a kid anymore in 2023. They’re not even trying anymore.

The heat in the tent on warm/hot days has been a problem for years.

Yeah. It frustrates me how often the bakers are stymied by being forced to bake in a tent with poor HVAC. Why not bring in portable ACs?

This is another instance where if the writers on this site had any sense of film history older than 2 years ago they’d be able to put things into context. Why did they split the last Hunger Games? Because they split the last Harry Potter book. And it worked. But it wasn’t initially because of movie studio greed (or…

All hail Stannis Baratheon, the one true king.

Poor Hobbit, they ADDED crap to make it 3 movies. Worse choice ever.

This season will only have eight episodes, two less than season one.

I hate every ape I see

Planet of the Monkey Business

Long gaps between seasons of these big shows makes it easy to cancel a streaming service for a year or more and pickup back up when the new season drops. Tough gig, streaming content.

Yeah this a show where the grizzled janitor and the whitest teacher had a (comedic) tearful argument about a cat that they found in the basement and the principal spends all day promoting nineteen different side hustles on Tiktok. It exists in a world where Philadelphia’s best worst rapper and like eight parents can…

I enjoy this show and FFS it’s not the place to be talking about school shootings. Yes, the show has a good amount of social commentary, but that particular topic in *this* show could not work. There is absolutely no humour to be had and this is, first-and-foremost, a comedy series. 

I can’t imagine why she wouldn’t want an episode of her situation comedy to be about children being murdered.

I’m about a third the way through season 2 on Hulu and I’m excited to see where the charter  schools plot goes. Good for them for helping to educate people on how charter schools fuck over normal schools.
