The difference is, they didn’t have to tiptoe around it here. They chose to.

Rings of Power co-showrunner Patrick McKay [...] likened [Sauron] to other great “villain-hero” protagonists, including Breaking Bad’s Walter White and The Sopranos’ Tony Soprano.

Fun fact thing: “Up there” is the only musical number in the movie without any naughty words/language whatsoever, and it is very positive and uplifting, yet “Blame Canada” was the one which was nominated for best song or whatever at the Oscars, and they had to re-write it because of the swearing, because “Up There” is…

Every song in this thing is a banger, it’s insane.

I thought we all agreed to pretend that Wild Wild West never existed?

I’d probably watch a Perry Mason-type legal drama set in Leyndell.

I have seen this movie dozens of times and saw a new joke the last time I watched it. The Mole’s wrist watch saying “Third Act: The Ticking Clock”

OMG, it’s going to happen again. I’m going to get this show and the dragon show mixed up again. ARGH! I need to continually remind myself that one can withstand toxic gas and scorching heat that a volcano spews out and the other one can control dragons.

WTF indeed!

A surprise cinematic feat was not only did Trey and Matt manage to make watching crude animation for 90 minutes highly entertaining but it includes relevant social commentary wrapped around a feel good story. I went to the South Park Movie with several friends and about 5 minutes in one of them turned to me and said,…

Is it odd that I’m really excited to see what they do with Debra Jo Rupp?

Something like Shadow of the Erdtree is a bit more linear, because you’re following Miquella’s journey and figuring out what he wants to accomplish, and the world, while still expansive, is smaller than the main game’s, designed to limit your range and mobility.

More importantly, the Soulslike stories consist of the player putting together the narrative from vague hints and minor tidbits they encounter along the way. Although Elden Ring’s backstory is a bit more fleshed out than its predecessors, it still doesn’t bend well to a conventional story structure.

Wasn’t Debra Jo Rupp one of the citizens of the town in WandaVision?  She was a witch all along as well?

For those who want to know:

Yeah, this film is an amazing work all these years later. Some fantastic satire.

I’ll never forget seeing this in the theater. Right before the previews, two young (probably 10 or under) kids came in escorted by an older woman. All I can think is that they did something like “Please grandma, can you take us to see that new cartoon movie?” My friend and I gave each other a WTF look and kept an eye…

The joy with which Matt & Trey take on their subjects has always been at the heart of their genius, and everyone is mocked equally, with eerie prescience. They have been so far ahead of the curve attacking their subjects it is stunning. I was just reminded of Season 8, Episode 8 that aired Oct. 24, 2004, nearly 20…

This is still one of my all-time favorite musical films ever, Matt and Trey absolutely murdered it with each song. Satan’s “Up There” is still as good today as it was when I got to see it in theaters all those years ago, also, of course, “Kyle’s Mom”. 

Big problem with adapting any Soulsborne game is that civilization has collapsed, the world is emptied out, basically everyone in the world is dead except the players and a handful of random weirdos, and the stories usually revolve around trying to restart the universe or burning it all down, which is kinda grim. The…
