Free counts for a lot! There’s enough stuff on Tubi that you can always find something to watch. I wonder how much children are dragging down that median age - I can imagine a lot of lower-income households with kids that don’t want to pay for streamers when there are so many free options available.

I had completely forgotten this existed (even though I must have watched it 20 times back in the day) Thank you for your service.

I hated the Watchmen TV series as a sequel to Watchmen. As a standalone story about racial justice told through a superhero lens? Love it! As an extension of the universe that Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created in Watchmen? Awful. Dr. Manhattan regains his humanity thanks to the power of love? The heroes come…

I like how the AV Club acts like it was disappointed to get Shane instead of Ariana Grande, instead of dancing in the hallways over the chance to publish yet another Shane Gillis clickbait piece (assuming the AV Club still has hallways?  I don’t know how this stuff works now)

oh man, Are You Normal? is probably my favorite album ever.

the best Weird Al song hands down

criminally underrated ‘90s one-hit wonder.  The album also had a great opening song called ‘Kickin’

Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, “Kill Your Television”

Check in here if you used to go to snopes.com in the late ‘90s when it played a midi file of “Love Me Do” when the site loaded.

I feel like one of the biggest delineations between Gen X and subsequent generations is that Gen Xers hold no expectation that a corporation should reflect their values, or should even pretend to have values. I prefer my corporations soulless, thank you very much.

Irving Azoff is a LOT more than just ‘manager of the Black Keys’ - he was the CEO of Ticketmaster as well as CEO of Live Nation, so he’s probably one of the biggest reasons the concert industry is so fucked up today.

They were linked because 1) they were announced as new cast members on the same day and 2) the thing that got Gillis in trouble was the use of an Asian slur on a podcast episode. That’s why they’re linked, along with the fact that both have gotten steadily more famous in the years since. Chloe Fineman was also…

But those would be Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance movies, not Dungeons & Dragons movies. It might feel like I’m splitting hairs here, but I’m not. Those properties and characters became popular mainly from the books, not from D&D (I realize they existed as D&D modules, but I would wager that only a tiny percentage of…

This is absolutely the best approach for a D&D adaptation. Even if you don’t directly copy the cartoon, the ‘real-world people sucked into D&D world’ premise should be the foundation. Otherwise it’s just a generic fantasy movie with owlbears.

You’ve just hit on the biggest obstacle for any D&D adaption: “Using established characters and settings”.

My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult was basically a band that only existed in 90's movie soundtracks.

Just posting to brag that I solved the mystery based on the clues. I narrowed it down to ‘Wake Up, Dead Man’ (my first choice) or ‘Discotheque’ (also a pretty great whodunit title)

Ah, Glass Onion.  Because the first rule of whodunits is that the culprit should be the person you MOST suspect.

Catherine O’Hara in that scene is one of the funniest performances ever captured on film.
