You aren’t wrong, but I will say this, as someone who has played the majority of the Tomb Raider games going back to the original one: there really isn’t much there worth adapting in a faithful manner. It’s not a rich text. The original games were a mash-up of Indiana Jones and James Bond; the character of Lara was…

i really fucking hate how these streaming companies locked down all these creatives for years and we got nothing from it. michaela coel same thing.

Bell does note that he takes some issue with a perceived framing by the pair that they were easily manipulated youths when they supported Peck, pointing that that Friedle was 27, and Strong 24, when they wrote their letters.

There isn't exactly an age limit on how people are taken in by narcissistic manipulative abusers. 

If it was any other studio, I’d agree.  But Zaslav is not making these kind of moves on the basis of quality.

Count yourself lucky it’s seeing the light of day at all.

Yeah seriously and what does Jenna think about Stranger Things or the Harry Potter series, where kids are also in crazy dangerous situations?

After so much freaking out from the fans about every single word the production crew said about the show, I tried a crazy idea called actually watching the show for myself before deciding what I think about it, and what do you know, I liked it a lot. I especially have to shout out Ken Leung, who brings a metric ton…

If naming your child in tribute to a Rob Reiner film about a kid leaving their family to find better parents makes you mentally ill, then I don’t want to be mentally well.

I think it’s surprising that Eccleston said this, mostly because he probably bought himself a bunch of trouble. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that “whole confession was bizarrely inspired by Eccleston praising intimacy coordinators.”

“love interest to Jodie Foster’s Detective Liz Danvers in True Detective Night Country”

Before people start some guessing game, a reminder that if Eccleston had wanted to name the co-star, he would have named the co-star.

I figure Dolly is a “steer into the skid” kind of person who would likely shrug off the story and say something nice about King about people making mistakes and being forgiven. Basically kill the story with kindness before it grows into something ugly.

I will admit I'm not as into later Carlin, but he never became hacky.  He just became really cynical and sad and honestly I'm not going to blame for that.  It was just harder to watch.

One weird phenomenon is that no one can seem to be a little bit Trumpy. There are so many people like Chapelle, or Elon Musk, or Rudy Giuliani, or Lara Logan, who at one point seemed to have normal-ish views of the world. Maybe they were skeptical about COVID lockdowns (Musk) or seemed too deferential to the military…

Go back to Logic class, because your ‘argument’ is circular and unsound.

He’s about to drop an album and someone reminded him that Jewish kids generally love Hip Hop.

Gizmo.

Yeah, the main story is told.

Yeah I knew that once Guillermo finally did/didn’t become a vampire that it’d be ending because that’s the end of the best concept holding the show together. I was kind of hoping for a whole season of baby vampire Guillermo learning all the little bits about vampirism he never saw, but honestly I think the way they…
