I don’t have high hopes because most streaming service “documentaries” are pretty shallow, but there’s a lot more to the story than what the public knows which they could cover. Like what was their ultimate business plan? Were they hoping that AMC or Regal (both of which later created similar “unlimited” plans just…

2017 - 2018 was a glorious year. But once they started the shenanigans with around the time Mission Impossible: Fallout came out it was all downhill from there.

So glad it’s back. I love this weirdo show. The real miracle is how it survived for so long on CBS/Paramount.

not so fast my friend.

I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a show. There’s nothing else like this on television. Benefits hugely from a rewatch - truly innovative, scary, incisive, hilarious stuff. You already know you’re watching a special show, and then it deals with race and policing like that? Holy shit.

Looks like another round of Krasinski hate came with the cicadas this year. It’ll pass.

When’s Malcolm McDowell show up in this?

I think I was definitely all-in on this show with the season 1 episode where the Catholic schoolkids start obsessively humming the Jonathan Coulton tune about Santa getting high on gummies

Silverado was an interesting Western in that it played itself straight. Pretty much every other modern Western takes it upon itself to “debunk” the Western by showing that the Old West wasn’t that great, populated by horrible people. While I get that classic white hat/black hat Westerns are unrealistic, glorify…

That kind of makes me laugh, when trailers for films have no dialogue in them whatsoever. Ooooh, it’s a FURRIN’ film. 

I have not been tracking news about this at all, certainly not casting news, yet knew instinctively “they gotta get Jeff Goldblum to play the Wizard.”

Man.  I’ll never be able to watch Terror Train without finding him vaguely creepy again.  What a huge change.  

“Everyone that knows David Copperfield will tell you that these recent allegations from one newspaper are the exact opposite of who David is.”

I actually totally understand hiding the fact that it’s a two-part thing. People are put off by it and will simply wait for the second one to come out so they can see both. You can see by the big outrage of people after Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse ended on a cliffhanger, or the underperforming sales of Mission…

What an odd choice. It being a musical is like the entire point here.

I mean, it’s a proven fact that some people just don’t like musicals, so the point of hiding it is to, ideally, trick those potential viewers into paying for a ticket for a movie genre they don’t really enjoy that much.

Who is all this secrecy for? Most people who are going to see Wicked already know it’s a musical. The rest of its potential audience are people who are going to see it because it’s a prequel to The Wizard of Oz....which was ALSO a musical.

For his next trick, he’ll make these allegations disappear on live tv!

Maybe the idea is, venn-wise, anyone who wants to see a movie musical is a perfectly aligned circle with anyone who knows Wicked is a successful musical, so why try to attract fans of musicals whose ticket sales you have locked in? That said, it’s a bad idea, as anyone who would be turned off by the movie being a…

What? No mention of The Sarah Connor Chronicles? That did have a whole “let’s turn AI against AI” in it, and might be what this is pulling (slightly) from.  I have no problem with that - it was a great show...while it lasted.
