No you don’t, Oprah!

“‘Get Out’?! What, like ‘get out of the movie theater’?! What will audiences think?!”

No mention of JLD’s increasingly head-scratching Marvel post-credit cameos?! lol. Look! She’s got a streak in her hair! That has to be a reference to something! And is she a good guy or a bad guy? Who knows! What’s she doing there in the first place? Who knows! (Not the writers!) But they probably paid her a king’s…

Dotson! We got Dotson here!! See, nobody cares.

Kelsey Grammer’s underrated House of Cards knock-off show “Boss” was well-made trash TV. It was entertaining and Grammer could not have been more perfectly case in the lead role.

“Beverly Hill Cop: Axel F has a terrible title for a legacy sequel. It looks, reads, and sounds weird.”

I’m going to stump here for Smiling Friends season 2. It is even more bizarre and hilarious than the previous, awesome season, with just as many eccentric new ideas, characters, and a variety of animated madness that still manages to stay cohesive within its own bizarre world logic. Fans of Adult Swim animation…

True, that is an important distinction for the other characters interacting with her who are unaware of her power, I more meant the tension of an all-powerful supe speaking with a regular human, whom the audience knows could be instantly killed by the supe at any moment is more or less the same.

“Every time Victoria Neumann shows up I can’t help but wonder whether she’s going to explode someone’s head.”

No love for Vampire Weekend? “Only God Was Above Us” (and apparently these other 30 albums according to the AV Club.)

As a prequel, RoP has SLIGHTLY more tension, ideas, and stakes than the utterly toothless and insipid Hobbit prequel trilogy (Smaug scenes notwithstanding), so it has that going for it. But prequels have to drag out things on and on for season after season, all to end up with everything and everyone ending up perfectly…

Galadriel was ridiculously shallow and one-note in season one. “I’m going to scowl and push everyone around and yell and fight for nebulous reasons because the plot demands that I must.” Elrond was written slightly better, but he was given practically nothing to do other than rekindle a dwarven bromance.

You make excellent points: my comment disregarded the Dude’s motivations and actions triggering plot beats and driving the story forward. That’s absolutely essential to him being a compelling lead, otherwise you end up with similarly shaggy noir flicks, that come off far more disjointed and oddball largely because the…

I just wish Taylor Sheridan made MORE spin-offs! Where’s Mayor of Kingstown: Guard Shack? Where’s Tulsa King 1990: Mob Beginnings?

RE: “Lebowski,” most of the time in these movies, the main perspective would be from a character like the P.I. DaFino (or a Jake Gittes): someone who begins his hero’s journey suspicious that something nefarious is going on, and proceeds to slowly piece together the puzzle through active investigation and reactions to…

If this show was hoping to capture an audience via word of mouth like “I Think You Should Leave,” then they totally are missing the mark. This is far too straight-forward and passe to tap into that zeitgeist.

“Space Oddity” spawned a few sequel songs from other artists, IIRC.

“Better Be Home Soon” is fantastic. Also, if the one hit is “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” you could do way worse.

So perhaps Bill Camp himself should have got the lead role!

“Wolfe isn’t famous for writing three-dimensional women.”
