It's theoretically supposed to be set in the same universe, though I imagine the cross-network logistics will make crossovers more of a rarity, if not impossible.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me "Oh, you watch a lot of tv. you should watch The Following, it's really good!", I'd be able to buy my own island.

"I would struggle to think of a network show in the last five years that could stand up against Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Rectify, Fargo, etc."

Breach and Damages would like a word with you.

Yeah, it looks like an earlier draft of the article.

Li'l Sebastian and Tupac both demanded too much money, and an appearance fee.

Ron's love for his workplace proximity acquaintance and desire to see her be happy far outweighs any personal political opinion he holds.

You know that's not true.

It's okay, neither am I. We can be thoughtlessly offensive together!

Would you go so far as to say you're not so es bueno about this development?

It's actually very accurate, because Justin Lin has been confirmed for the first two episodes.

From Ignatiy's review on this website:

Really the most important elements, if you think about it.

And how the ball travels up and down the field.

Nope. Different kind of stick, different kind of ball, different kind of net, and I'm pretty sure there's a difference in the padding worn too. Different speeds as well.

And in fairness to them, it can be hard to find out what's new on VOD. It ideally should be advertised as widely as theatre releases.

Well, is there anything really stopping them from seeking out arthouse fare on VOD? Outside of the cost, I mean.

Well, you're not wrong about the vast land of opportunity, that's true, atleast in mainstream. In arthouse, that ground's covered, but there is a noticeable lack of those kinds of movies coming out of big studios lately. Stuff like Grand Piano or Happy Christmas fits pretty neatly in there, but both are clearly more…

From what I understand, it's been mismarketed (like The Grey was) to appeal to Neeson's Taken fans. It's more of a noir, which I think is definitely a category for grown-ups.
But you can then replace it with Whiplash or Foxcatcher, both of which are also aimed at adults, aren't they?

"it is more and more rare to see a mainstream movie for an adult audience that isn't part of a franchise or related to nostalgia."
