There were people I talked to at the time who were utterly convinced that this was a revolutionary, permanent change, and no actor would ever get work again. They were saying this even after the movie bombed, using the same “but the tech will get better!” excuse that AI bros use now.

WB seems to be embarrassed that it’s a movie studio at all. Zazlav seems determined to strip-mine this company until the only thing it produces is seasons of Deadliest Catch.

“All movies are superhero movies!” is an incredibly stale take whether it’s meant as hyperbole or not. Especially in a year when the most popular films have had nothing to do with superheroes and most hero movies have been expensive flops.

Four out of five dentists agree. The fifth dentist is currently getting the shit kicked out of him in a hallway by Daredevil. That’s what happens when you don’t agree.

Inside Trout: Riley Goes Fishing

And Herman’s Head was just a ripoff of the 1943 Disney animated short Reason and Emotion, so we’re just coming full circle here.

BBC released a prose story a few years ago (written by Paul Cornell, who also wrote the original episode) in which the 13th Doctor visits Sister-Of-Mine and decides to release her from her imprisonment. It’s implied that Sister encountered versions of the Doctor hundreds of times while trapped in the mirror, which…

I love how direct they were about it, too. The Doctor straight up telling Donna when they first reunite that he doesn’t want any more romantic entanglements, he just wants “a proper mate.”

In my book, that two-parter is the second best modern Who story ever, just very slightly behind Heaven Sent.

Blink is a vastly overrated episode. It’s not bad, but people act like it’s the best Who story ever when it barely features the Doctor and goes out of its way to explain that the monsters of the week aren’t really that scary, and then tries really hard to make you scared of them.

And, as usual, you focus all your efforts on shredding moderates

The thing about Link is that he should speak as little as possible. What experience does Thomas Brodie-Sangster have playing a character who solves problems with lots of different tools and items but who hardly ever says anything?

Nah, Dark World is still at the bottom. Its problem compared to all the listed examples (aside from Eternals, which is just underrated) is that it’s not just bad, it’s BORING. The others are bad in ways that make for interesting discussions or are unintentionally amusing. The way Dr. Strange 2 completely squanders…

They brought back one of Moe’s old girlfriends from a previous season and they got engaged. Also Comic Book Guy met a woman online and they got married.

So that means they DID write about South Park. So why are you complaining?

It’s already stuck. Homer really hasn’t strangled Bart regularly in ages. If you go back and watch the classic seasons in order, you see the writers already get tired of the joke by season 5 or 6. By the time you get to the teen numbered seasons it’s basically gone completely. This is just them stating it out loud.

Except AI can’t do that, because it’s built around copying preexisting ideas. By definition it can never create NPCs with unique traits, it can just take old traits and remix them.

or if we can use it as a tool to help inspire more creation

Oh, I see how it is! Disney buys Hulu and then suddenly they decide they’re too good for ostrich-fucking! Allegedly!

It is 1970. The Beatles have just released their final song.
