I really hate that practice. Even studios I really really resepct, like Insomniac, do it.

Yeah, I like seeing my name, too. But honestly, because I know how it works, seeing my name on imdb (which isn’t even “official”) feels just as good.

Credits have been *turned into* that. Originally, the full credits were put at the beginning of a film, not the end, and meant to accompany a kind of musical overture as people were settling into their seats, slowly immersing themselves into the world of the film before it began. A “warm-up” if you will.

Netflix already does not skip to the next episode if there is an end credit scene or some additional content during the credits. This includes bloopers or other “meta” content, because they know that people want to watch that stuff. Often, credits will have some bit of content running along the credits that ends…

As someone who has appeared in the credits of a few film, television, and video game projects, I do sometimes wish people cared enough to read them (mainly so I can get love, attention, and jobs), but you know what? Credits are actually not sacrosanct, and truly, nobody reads them, not even the people who want you to…

“Bernie” was almost a decade ago.

Is the problem that there’s no male actor who can equal Lily Tomlin?

It’s always the actors who get regularly cast in midbrow shlock that talk about how acting is something they’d be comfortable walking away from.

Maybe the extended cut includes plot reasons for those things, but it certainly doesn’t explain any of them.

It’s fun when they release a director’s cut of a movie that you saw but don’t remember very well and you can’t tell the difference.

Yes, Valve never built Steam Machines. They licensed their brand under a strict set of conditions to other companies and expected them to not only do the work and take the market risk, but compete with each other without any way to differentiate themselves.

You didn’t forget. They were never a thing.

It’s more that the device failed in the marketplace.

Nope, not Bluetooth. It comes with a dongle, tho.

I really didn’t buy the “Rick actually wanted a friend” reveal. Not only was it a terrible sitcom cliche, it seems like we’ve seen plenty of storylines where a character accuses Rick of deflecting his feelings only for the show to tell us that he actually isn’t, or at least he isn’t in the way you think he is. So this…

That felt like a joke they’d do on Futurama, where the out of nowhere-ness of it would land better, but Rick and Morty is so fantastical and nonsensical as a matter of course that it didn’t even register with me that the hang glider was supposed to be a joke.

Yes, exactly. Which is why the show potraying holo-Rick’s position as oversensitive and judgemental was very irritating. It really seemed like it was making fun of people who are sensitive about similar, real-world issues.

The meta “back to basics” thing was very confusing to me. Didn’t they already make a big deal about doing that in a previous season?

The problem is that Rick and Morty really doesn’t know the difference between commenting on problematic behavior and engaging in it.

Really? If that’s adressing the toxic fanbase, it’s pretty weaksauce.
