I feel like Christopher Judge should have been this well known twenty years ago, and ought to be a full superstar today.

He’s the best. Has been for a long time. Go watch some SG-1 for more examples of how great he is. And funny!

He made it as long as last years probably. So it was not an hour and a half show anymore.

Strange how these dipshits whine that banning people spewing the N-Word, harassing Trans individuals, or claiming that drinking bleach will cure COVID is “violating the user’s free speech”, but they draw the line at mocking the petulant billionaire upset that he’s being clowned on.

Even funnier are the Musk stans running around defending it as "his company his rules" ignorant of the "free speech" Musk promised. 

This shit gets funnier by the hour, this man in so far above his head it is ridiculous. 

Interesting you bring that up, because even when they had to replace Rachel Weisz (who I assume chose not to return to the role vs being kicked out), they replaced her not with a younger actor as one would expect from Hollywood, but with Maria Bello who is in fact 3 years older.

People watched more than one Deuce Bigalow?

Zoolander and Austin Powers were pretty much parodying that trope though , James Bond is a way better example.

In action movie franchises (or franchises that are action movie adjacent) it’s long been understood that it’s more exciting to do the new love interest than attempt to write an actual ongoing relationship. Even when they do decide to bring the love-interest back for the sequel, it’s almost always after being estranged…

Hey now, there was an explanation - Vanessa was a fembot!

The Bond explanation goes back to “On Her Majesties Secret Service” when Tracy is killed at the end. Bond goes into a serious downward spiral of drinking and self-destruction. In the books he is given one chance to get his act together and goes after Blofeld. They make references throughout the rest of the Fleming…

Not that I think the Austin Powers movies were any particularly high moment in the history of cinema, but I think at least there they were parodying the Bond films, where the female leads change every film with almost no explanation.

Hey, it’s our monthly “I’m going to finish the series, really I am” news item.

Pretty much made my peace with the books not ending. Period.

He’s entered Late-Stage Fantasy Anthology Syndrome.

George, we talked about this: No talking about the fucking book unless it’s to announce the publication date. Go get the genital cuff.

“

you underestimate the number of conflicting plot threads he’s dreamt up in the books. for some reason, gurm populated the books with like, ten times the number of named characters there were on the show. each one is off doing some unique side quest, so it’s almost impossible to have each one doing something that…

Yes, I seemed to have missed it. Although I think it’ll be harder in Smollett’s case. Candace Owens wasn’t really a big name before she made the cynical switch. But then again, conservatives are so desperate for cultural relevance that they’ll grab onto whoever is convenient. And quickly discard it when it is no…
