...but a profitable one!

I love fantasy books. I love it when fantasy authors put a lot of thought and effort and time into their worldbuilding. I appreciate how GRRM’s Westeros feels lived-in and fully realized. It’s all great background for the novels. But there’s just something so unutterably silly and masturbatory about publishing an…

Use it in a sentence.

I love Never Have I Ever, and I’m older than the dead father in the show.

Agreed. As someone who was about 12-13 when it first aired, I used to catch it on Nick pretty frequently. While I can understand being somewhat embarrassed of the show (especially considering the BTS stuff she endured), she was pretty great on it and definitely one of the highlights IMO.

I think she’s just being harsh on her own work. It’s not high art - those live action kid shows rarely are, but it had some spark and flare. I was way too old to be really be a fan, but little bits I’ve seen have made me chuckle more than something like That’s So Raven.

That’s what I meant.  My bad.

Many of whom are also pig people.

I think his choice of lawyer indicates otherwise.

A lot of folks here attributing it to technical details of MMA making it harder to make good cinema from, but that never stopped a boxing movie.

Give me the story where the robot from 4 becomes self-aware and then it can have a training montage to make sure it’s the plucky upstart AI that gets to subjugate humanity instead of Siri!

I think it’s because a boxing film is an established genre, or at least sub-genre. People have a vague, subconscious idea of what a boxing film entails, and it almost always incorporates a characrer’s journey towards becoming- I suppose it’s easier to use boxing than a team sport since the focus is on an individual’s…

There is something funny about the dude who made Rocky V saying how he would never exploit the franchise for greed.

Also, Ronny Cox was the absolute highlight of Total Recall. 

Friends must’ve taken place in the same NYC as Seinfeld. That NYC wasn’t nearly as fun or interesting as the one I knew.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the fancy cinema adjective for music playing in the scene, rather than over the scene, is “diegetic.” Just passing this almost totally useless fact along so it can clutter up other people’s brains.

I’m just going to come out and say it:

I really don’t understand this marketing campaign for The Flash.

That area of the country didn’t even get extradimensional monsters until ‘88!  Get your facts straight, Duffer Bros.!

I’ll cut her some slack. That’s an extremely niche thing to know.

Sad thing is, video aside, its an awesome riff. I like the song.
