I have no idea what the article is talking about, because the Boris Johnson bit absolutely is included on Netflix in the US.

Demi Lovato’s ex bf is likely gay. No straight man is that obsessed over Disney pop singers and I know a “omg it’s because they’re so hot” cover story when I see one. It’s just icing on the closeted cake that he was filming a Christian movie.

“They’ll also be unable to practice their signature and showstopper bakes and otherwise prepare.”

“Given that J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan is noted for being pretty “written in Victorian England” in regards to its attitudes on race.”

Remember that Peter Pan Prequel movie where Tiger Lily was played by a white lady?

Speaking of Matt Lucas’s radish...

I watched the original cartoon with the little one a couple of weeks ago, and hooo-boy. If you thought the crows from Dumbo were bad, they’ve got nothing on the Kaw Chief. It’s like the animators were big Cleveland Indians fans, and said to themselves, let’s see if we can create a native character that’s even more of…

I’m seeing a lot of complaints about it not being the same set up - I had heard no tent, but I don’t see a great difference. But obviously some things are practical for Covid times.

Your regular reminder that a majority of boomers started voting republican back in 1980 and never looked back.

Josh was always a jackass, but when I re-watched the show during the Trump era I realized he was actually a prophesy. He kinda cared about ideas, but he was way more interested in polls and legislative knife-fights. Eventually he started power-tripping on elected officials as the President’s Hatchet man.
He was what we…

If you’re interested, check out the podcast The West Wing Thing. It’s an episode-by-episode breakdown about how the show’s centrist politics have negatively influenced the Democratic Party through its advocacy of incremental change.

Note that Jerry Rubin later became a multimillionaire investment banker (before dying early at 58 in 1994). The literal co-founder of the Yippies became a Yuppy. It’s the sort of detail that would seem over-the-top in a fictional character (yeah, we get it — the Boomers sold out, even if Rubin might actually have been…

My takeaway from this review is that “Chicago 10" sounds like it’s worth watching.

What debates? There’s not going to be any debating - Trump is literally incapable of even pantomiming the act.

The “debates” will be Joe Biden perform the lead roll in A Return To The Centrist Status Quo Statesman while Trump froths like a mad dog. It will generate a lot of buzzy headlines, Trump will say at least a…

I think it probably depends on what that means, tbh. That title runs the gamut from advisor to purely contractual.

I have a hunch they very specifically chose someone who did NOT have “an intimate understanding of Chinese culture + the impact of the Cultural Revolution on artists & intellectuals + the effects of Western imperialism” because someone with all that insight might well make something that’s a bit... critical... of…

But using a lesser known director with intimate knowledge of China might not be the clear path to an easily digestible formulaic oscar bait movie by Ron Howard!? It might like, I don’t know challenge the viewers in some way?

“they are showing this at the same time as the debate?”

No. They aren’t. The debate will air at a specified time on October 15th whereas the West Wing is on a streaming platform and will drop at 3am ET on October 15th and people can watch it whenever they want.

I’m sorry, you clearly said this...it was the point of the article...but I still feel like I must have heard wrong...they are showing this at the same time as the debate?

@meta godzilla - Did you watch the same DS9 I did? From the perspective of the Federation, and the audience, the nature of the prophets was 100% clear - they were advanced aliens, with knowledge of the future and the past, and that's all. There was never any doubt about that.
