Sixties film Judgment at Nuremberg makes a big deal of calling out 'oh so y'all were in the latter huh?' and the hypocrisy of the world that was willing to accept that fiction to move on post-war.

There was supposed to be a show in development about the Allied misinformation campaign during WWII but it never really came together.

Moonbeam City had an absolutely amazing bit of comedy where Will Forte's character was forced to come up with jazz album names in order to fake being rich and the bit just keeps going on and on and on. Also, according to Entertainment Weekly Batwoman is not going to just recast the lead and instead are just making a brand new character who will now be Batwoman. How exactly will this work when so much of Batwoman's plot revolves on her being directly related to many of the characters, including Bruce?

Dig up Helena Wayne but have her be Batwoman instead of Huntress and then turn it into season two of the horrible unintentionally camp masterpiece Birds of Prey e: wasn't ashley scott in that giant crossover event. just use her again lmfao

That was a style of joke they did a lot and it was always great, the cop-themed restaurant where the waitress keeps reading off the menu and every item being a police food pun was wonderful.

The Clowner posted:What happened to the old lead She quit because she hated working the long hours and did not like living in Vancouver. From reports it was a mutual thing where she wanted out and the show execs didn't exactly want her to stay around because having a lead hate the show doesn't bring about the best work environment.

Vancouver owns if you get lucky and manage to find affordable housing near major transit lines. That said everything else here is still expensive as gently caress, and lol I'm only lucky on the rent/location front because of rent control and having stayed in the same lovely old building for 7 years. Though technically I live in Burnaby but lol that makes 0 difference to people not from the lower mainland.

Presumably, she would have her apartment paid for her, which is a plus. But she would have 2 hours max of free time per day because of scheduling, which is a minus.

She was also nearly paralyzed by a stunt fuckup, so I'm sure that's part of it.

Honestly she probably shouldn't have been doing too many stunts in the first place, afaik Rose had already suffered from chronic back pain, and she had prior surgery for that before the stunt sent her to the emergency room again.

TV Zombie posted:I’m wondering how they write her out. There's basically no good options. It has to be permanent because otherwise there will be a pall over the show about the "real" Batwoman coming back and they can't just have her mysteriously vanish because that is the reason Batman isn't around any more. It will really depend on how amicable the split really was and maybe they can film something with Ruby Rose to bridge the gap.

I mean, you've got the plot of making a Batwoman-killing gun right there. Just have her take a kryptonite bullet to a not-quite-lethal area, say something to Luke and Mary about keeping Gotham's hope going, and then stagger off to some sort of retirement while they get to find, recruit, and train the new Batwoman.

Nobody was required by German law to join the Nazi Party (it just impacted your job prospects) let alone the SS. You may be thinking of the Hitler Youth but that's not usually a factor with the rocket scientists.

Sleeveless posted:There's a lot to like about The New Order but making it so that there actually was a secret Jewish conspiracy where a shadowy cabal of elders possessed weapons of unbelievable power is really muddled since it both makes Hitler's anti-Semitic propaganda be technically correct and also makes it so that the Jews not only failed to stop the third Reich and their own extermination but were actively responsible for creating the technology that let Hitler conquer the world. two things. one, it's very specifically subverting the "shadowy cabal of elders" thing by having them be, y'know, the unambiguous good guys. like there's not really any reading of the MachineGames Wolfenstein series that makes the Da'at Yichud look bad. they're probably the actual most decent people in the entire setting. the message here is that, if there were a shadowy ancient Jewish conspiracy, they'd probably actually be pretty swell guys who are trying to stop all the bad poo poo, and I can't really hate that. two, they failed because they consist of elderly men who are absolutely not fighters. they have all the superweapons and sci-fi tech, sure, but for that to be even remotely useful, they need people who can actually use them and are trustworthy, and that doesn't come along until BJ does. and when he does, suddenly the tide turns and the Nazis start getting their poo poo dunked in by Terror Billy. Wolfenstein good.

It depends on how much you believe "ex"-nazis and their unreliable (gasp!) narrative about how it was a really, really bad idea to say no however. Personally I don't believe any of it. Once a nazi, always a nazi.

I didn't get very far in the second Wolfenstein game. There's a 30 minute long scene of your dad emotionally and physically abusing your mom and then you, and then I shot a few guys, then there was a 47 minute long scene of Nazi Mom literally fat shaming her daughter and calling her a lesbian And I was just like, jesus christ this is miserable

New trailer for Lovecraft Country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJV9acMsDwM It looks like a pretty straightforward adaptation which leaves me excited because there are some pretty good stories in the book. Like the zero-g death trap or the alien planet.

howe_sam posted:Arrow recast Sara Lance. Yeah technically but she was in season 1 for 2-3 minutes max, I didn't even realize it until I read your post. I feel like tons of shows end up recasting parts from pilots just because of the difference between a pilot and a series in terms of actor availability. The pilot of Mad Men looks like a completely different show compared to the rest of season 1 and it was shot something like a full year before the rest of season.
