Was it Bela Lugosi or Vlad III Tepes, because the latter is somewhat of a Romanian folk hero e: lol  quote:Seoul-based Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has apologized for what it termed “inappropriate” images and captions. Among its choices: Chernobyl for Ukraine and pizza for Italy. zoux fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Aug 5, 2021 |

Holy poo poo, this Mandy Patinkin plot of The Good Fight loving went places. Has anyone else been watching this season? Best season since the second, it's been absolutely fantastic.

That Paramount+ deal seems like a reaction to the 77 episode deal Warner (soon to be Discovery) has with Rick and Morty. The new paradigm has the studios clamoring for tentpole franchises for TV much the same way they have for movies and random South Park movies available only in Paramount+ seems like a great way to fill in gaps to keep people subscribing. I imagine animation is more attractive than ever since the past year has shown it resistant to production disruption and the decentralized nature makes it easy for talent acquisition.

When does The Good Wife change the style of its original score? That's around when I stopped liking the show and actively loving it. The Good Fight is so much better though. That only takes a season to go completely daffy and wonderful.

A streaming service arms race with each side mass-producing South Park or Rick & Morty sounds like a particularly obnoxious realm of hell.

I don’t know if I was late to see it, or it was a gradual change, but The Good Fight being an outright comedy show pretending to be serious is part of the reason it is so fun.

Hm! Nothing in the Y trailer looks bad (except perhaps the dialogue of "Which one?" "All of them!"), but if I didn't love the comic I can't say that I'd be particularly interested after watching that trailer. It could just be how it was cut, but the tone seems off to me. The comic is very wry and often quite funny, and I wasn't getting any of that from the trailer.

Plus it’s all happening in the middle of the night. That said, I’ve loved the BMXing and skateboarding that I’ve seen, almost managed to redeem the whole thing for me. The skateboarders especially seemed like a lovely bunch of folks just happy for each other whenever anyone managed a good run.

Or maybe that's just the trailer and the tone is totally different in a full episode.

If there had been a need for a stadium, it would've existed already.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the purpose of the stadiums is the same as it is whenever a stadium is built, massive tax breaks and lucrative construction contracts to favored vendors, who coincidentally happen to be big donors to the politicians pushing this poo poo in the first place.

In the US at least, a stadium is built because some rich person has convinced the local government to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to construct it and then immediately hand over the ownership to said rich person. Then if the city doesn't fellate the rich person enough, they just go to another city and start over again.
