Wait, comic book movies weren’t a thing in the late 90s? The studios were certainly trying to make them a thing; Tank Girl, Barb Wire, Judge Dredd.

Don’t worry. This isn’t a serious push to make a new show. I doubt this will make it past the pilot. Look they are making it as a single-camera, 30 minute sitcom, i.e. the most cheap kind of tv show possible (other than reality tv, which wouldn’t work). I suspect they are doing this to hold onto the license. Most of…

I think they keep like the last 4 on Hulu. There is also a CW app, but I don’t know how many eps they keep up there.

Well part of it is, as much of a genius and hard worker as Rachel Bloom is, she also has a lot of really talented people backing her up, like Aline Brosh McKenna who cocreated the show and handles showrunning, producing and writing duties.

I think most people watching this saw it for what this likely was: a performance. She’s not trying to energize Latinos or the base; she’s trying to not get primaried.

Yeah, but Pelosi has proven she’s not interested in promoting Progressive politics in the past. Because of that, this really does look like a performance. Personally, I doubt she would have done this if she wasn’t scared of getting primaried in June.

This is how you do a season pass.

You may also look at the fantasy flight games, like xwing. They don’t require any building or painting. Or Malifaux. Warmachine games can get pretty big, but Malifaux tends to stay small (though you can get a rather large collection as you start to mix and match from different gangs. But much easier than starting in…

Personally, my 2 favorite Rock* games are Bully and The Warriors. They just seem way more focused (and focused on the right things, no one need a yoga minigame) than RS’s bigger games.

I recently re-watched the scene where Paula and Rebecca reprise Westcovina in the ep 1. It’s a 4 minute scene but is written and acted so perfectly it foreshadows both of their story arcs, perfectly.

What about these kid’s parents?

About the whole bombs in space thing. I agree. But that’s Lucas for you. There have been B-wings and Tie bombers in the lore for decades. All tlj did was put Lucas’ s dumb idea on screen... probably so Disney can sell them as a new toy.

Yeah, a delay till next movie when they can deal with all that other stuff. I feel like you wanted a different movie than what the film makers wanted to make. This was a small, intimate story about the redemption of Logan. He did all he could and in the end found peace. That may not have been movie you wanted to see,…

Have you ever seen “Don’t trust the B... in apt 23"? This is being co-penned and produced by Nahnatchka Khan who created that show. I read it as a Cleveland version of Chloe (except Indian-American) is given the suit. I’m all for that.

It was broadcast, just not by NBC and probably never nationwide. I remember seeing it on TV on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon well before YouTube ever existed (probably in the very late 80's or very early 90's). It was probably bought cheap by Fox to show on one of their UHF affiliates. Just something to fill 2hrs…

Lars Von Trier as “Pie”

“Just keep Ron Howard the fuck away from it.” I feel Hollywood should just make this a general policy. 

Have seen the Dark Tower movie? If not you should give it try when you can find it for free. I’m not going to say it was good...but it’s an interesting exercise in how to make a fairly original story with with a lot winks to those familiar with the original work. And the performances were pretty good. But don’t pay…

Um, then please don’t read the source material. Let me just give you some non-spoilery spoilers.

Wait I thought the kids getting away was the hope? Did I see a different movie?
