It would be nice if this article knew what The Game actually is: it’s a revival of the CW football-adjacent comedy(/drama?), not a game show.

Not to mention that they almost certainly used Photoshop or some photo editing software to crop the image, adjust the brightness, contrast, and other aspects of the image.

If they didn’t use Photoshop then you could still see the crane and wires...

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the problem with a lot of television, particularly American television, is it goes past its sell-by date.

I may be in the minority on this, but I don’t even think it’s a bad thing to have added context from the shows that makes the movies more meaningful. You don’t have to watch everything, absolutely, but when you know that a character is in an upcoming movie you want to see it’s nice that they can flesh out the back

That said, the scene in The Conversation where Gene Hackman pummels a bunch of guys in an elevator is one for the ages. 

I think part of the flaw in this logic is thinking that the MCU is like other movie franchises. It’s not. It’s like the comic book universe, which is neverending and that’s a good thing. Other franchises die because they replace the stars, or stray too far from the original tone or aesthetic; those aren’t relevant

There really has been much ado about whether things that never bothered comics fans will inevitably be lethal to movie audiences. Given Marvel’s demonstrated ability to shatter conventional notions of the changes you need to make to translate across media, I continue to be unconvinced by the arguments.

Only if Ezra stops doing the scandals.

Cue the TikTok videos of people shattering the door glass by pouring hot water on the door.

I think the problem is WE are the problem.  People seem afraid to see anything that isn’t based on a YA novel, comic, reboot or sequel to something else.

don’t expect the sequel to draw attention to Cassie’s recasting. (Newton takes over for Emma Fuhrmann, who played the character in an Endgame deleted scene).

Very cool, now you’ll have thousands of idiots running around flashing their little prop badges. Expect to see a lot of these popping up at majority-Black polling places on election day as a bunch of knuckle draggers try to intimidate Black voters. 

I’m sad for the actors and crew, but the show was badly written and suffered from the same problem as the “Tales of the City” reboot (sequel?). It shoehorned in too many flavors of young, impossibly-attractive, multi-hyphenate representational characters who don’t exist anywhere but in the minds of virtue-signaling ube

These shows absolutely have their place, but I’m looking forward to us moving away from queer media based on very niche and specific groups of gay men/women/enbies, and having us just be main characters in mainstream stories that rely on plot points besides our sexuality, and community.

In the first few minutes Aunt Ada says to Aunt Agnes “I don’t live at the bottom of an oubliette!”

In slo-mo, tears prickling at his eyes, filled with shame at the indignity.

Does he still take a cab from Philly to L.A.? That seems expensive.

Maybe the solution is to have bigger vehicles that can carry more people in one go through the tunnel. If it’s really high volume, maybe link the larger vehicles together in a chain so that they all travel at once all at the same speed.
