The pilot episode shows that inspired casting can’t overcome bad writing and direction. It’s contrived and joyless and WW comes across as a self centered corporate player. Read more

Really? TBH got pretty decent rotation...one of the only Netflix Originals that I ever actually caught on opening day, and I sat down and binged the whole thing the minute it premiered (work REALLY sucked the next day, but worth it!) Read more

Right, as cool as a live-action Spider-Verse sounds, passing up live action Scorpion played by Michael Mando in favor of Electro again would be really frustrating. Same with Donald Glover as Prowler

You know what’s reasonable ? The greek neonazi party golden dawn (which had deputies at the parliament) has just been judged as a “criminal organisation”. That’s what.

In some ways, I think people expected too much that the [debateable, but in the conversation] best comic book of all time to have any hope of being ALSO the best film of all time.

It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon… Read more

The NYTimes published an interesting interview with Chris Rock a couple of weeks ago, where he explained a bit about how they were able to finish the final episode and a half (or so), they had left. The short answer is pre-filming quarantine, lots of testing, isolation and masks. Read more

I mean, we see the real life Adult Boss Baby on the news EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Read more

As someone who has studied piracy extensively, Stede Bonnet is the most pathetic pirate.  He was a rich plantation owner from Barbados who I guess got bored with life and tried to become a pirate.  On his first voyage he attacked a Man o War with a sloop, akin to a destroyer fighting a battleship.  He lost and nearly… Read more
