Not sure anyone working on the show remembers the difference between action and story.

Some of the jokes about Morbius were funny at least.

That whole ship went wrong the moment JJ wrote a script where Luke, Leia and Han would never be in a scene together and that script got the okay from Kathleen Kennedy and presumably Bob Iger.

I really like Brick but it's a noir detective thriller reskinned as a high school drama (or the reverse depending on how you look at it). It's very well made but nothing about it says "let this guy write and direct Star Wars." Looper is a fantasy story pretending it's science fiction. It's...

I said this before but if the show was episodic (as opposed to serialized like we have) it might have worked better. Each episode has a little mostly self-contained story about the town. Often that story involves someone being manipulated or having an idea on how to get out that is instead...

I assumed that the earthquake was the other side pushing back and maybe even the return of the sun but the problem with all of that is we've got four seasons of not much visible aid provided to our town. We've got the talismans sure but there's 100x more evil shit going all day every day versus...

If you go top I'm going to be waiting for you. Win. Lose. It doesn't matter. You are going to hate life.

I wish this webcomic went on a bit longer. unrelated -

Silently pushing past someone is rude behavior in the general sense but this is a woman that brought her husband on to her podcast/show thing to talk about her affair with her son's rapper friend and a bunch of other shit. This might be the nicest she's been to him all week.

Variety shitting on your lady super hero movie is a dark omen. It's gotta be bad if they're even trying to carry some water for it. If I was pitching ideas how about we loot a quirky web comic and do something that's like 90 minutes and fun instead of not fun? There's a bunch of these. I...

I'm a third of the way through this and paused to get something to drink. Is this really it? Zendaya was in a really dark place when she was fifteen and everyone in her life now is going to dump on her? I knew not to expect something totally bananas, that the worst thing she ever did was...

Messing around with it a little more the percentages you get at cap correspond to old explanations about the curvature of required exp per level. For example at level 30 you're at the bottom of a curve needing less experience to level relative to what you're getting than you did at 29. The exp...

You let your lead actress talk about her character as a queer icon on camera before the release of a film no one wanted in an environment where people love to watch studios lose hundreds of millions of dollars all stemming from the movie industry spending a decade or so shitting on it's male...

Schadenfreude is nothing new but we have developed a real cultural glee in these huge movies shitting all over themselves. If you're the people making these turkeys that a hell of a trend to have navigate. What would have been a small contingent of curmudgeons (that would have faced some...
