Agreed, but I’m weird when it comes to murder mysteries.  I prefer to watch them very passively.  I have no desire to dig through clues or easter eggs or conspiracy theories.  It’s definitely a journey’s-more-important-than-the-destination thing for me.

“The show has plenty of charms and offers great roles for Gomez, Martin, and Short, but it’s not always the most compelling show.”

Who knows id Black Adam will be any good, but his call to split the movies was probably the right one. Shazam! is a blast, very slept on. It’ll be fun seeing Zachary Levi and DJ play off eachother.

Random Roles has never felt so much like a “Lightning Round” before.  

I don’t have much hope for Black Adam, but I gotta give props to Johnson for seemingly willing this into existence. I feel like he’s been wanting to get in the superhero game for a while and this just finally gave him the opportunity he’s been waiting for so no matter what a hot mess the DCEU or WB as a whole has been…

OTOH, as someone put it today on Twitter today, it REALLY seems like The Rock doesn’t want to lose a fight to Billy Batson, which might be a problem?

Warners’ management of all these movies have been a real shitshow, but Black Adam certainly sounds like it’s got passion and a vision behind it, which puts it ahead of a bunch of the fairly soulless stuff that’s made it to the screen so far. (And yes, yes, that’s true of some MCU films, too; it’s not a contest, folks.)

I’m pretty sure the rumours about Schneider’s behaviour are old enough to drink legally at this point.

I love Returns. It was the perfect table-setting for a sequel that totally would have given folks what they wanted, but had no patience to wait for.

Snyder’s Watchmen was visually faithful, but the changes to the story ruined the narrative through-line for the two main characters with no good reason.

The Ghost Rider…

I almost never watch the live airing of the show just because of the commercials. I speed through those momentum-killers!

I just start at 9:25 and breeze right on through.  No commercials at all other than the seconds it takes to FF.

“And yet the discourse continues, inevitable as the tides, trapping us in the unceasing whirlpool in perpetuity,” said the whirlpool.

Sure, but the smart thing here is to reserve judgement. Right now we only have the reports of the lawsuit, not the actual suit itself which would need to detail the similarities.

A gendered language can still recognize the reality of non gendered people. The bigger issue with “Latinx” specifically is that it’s just a totally non-Spanish word form, which is why native Spanish speakers often prefer the non-gendered “Latine.” Or in English, “Latin” works just fine.

Nothing says “I totally respect the Spanish language and its speakers” like refusing to believe it’s a gendered language and forcing it to be like English, you errant thickshit.

If you’re referring to the various Latinos and Latinas who have posted saying they dislike the word, you’re really not on solid ground.

Weirdos? You mean hispanics like me who hate that word? White liberal people just do whatever the hell they want.

Latino here, Colombian in fact. Stop it with the Latinx BS. Neither my family nor my friends like that word, and, in fact, find it discriminatory to be called as such. Call us hispanics, southamericans, latinos, latins, latinas, whatever the hell you want, but that X-men word is insulting.

What about the baffling weirdos who use it? Actual Latinos and Latinas hate it, yet still they persist. Why??

That final smile. Jesus Christ.
