No, not really. At least, not confirmed. But there are rumors, and not from Variety: Mindhunter star Holt McCallany just gave an interview where he talks about how the show might return and the status of director David Fincher’s involvement. The interview is with CBR promoting McCallany’s other new show, The Waterfront, and he addressed the season 3 issue:… Read More Mindhunter Season 3 You Guys!
Variety has an actually non-excruciating article, about the results of the WGA Strike: The Writers Guild of America called a strike one year ago today, declaring that the streaming boom had created an existential crisis for writers. The WGA got most of what it wanted from the strike, though it took almost five months for the studios and streamers to come… Read More The End of Infinite TV
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is one of those movies that I mildly disliked upon first viewing, but has come to grow on me. It is based on a Canadian comic book series that I have never read. I recently watched the first four episodes of the new animated series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which… Read More Things That Annoy Me About Scott Pilgrim
It’s become a commonplace that streaming services are treacherous. You put your faith in them to provide you with content, and they pull it according to bean-counter whim and puritanical outrage. Physical media is the only way to preserve culture! Even directors are getting in the act: Christopher Nolan recently made headlines when he humorously urged fans… Read More Looney Tunes, Fandom, and physical vs. Streaming
Because I haven’t owned anything more advanced than a PS2, I’ve never played the Witcher game series. I’ve also never read the novels they’re based on. I only watched the TV series because it was conveniently on Netflix, and I was only interested in watching Geralt of Rivia kill scuzzy Lovecraft beasties. I made it… Read More Witcher Season 3 is Boring. Actually, That’s Just Witcher.
Last week, I sat through the second Jurassic Park movie for the first time since seeing it in theaters. That’s Jurassic Park II: The Lost World, from 1997, which Spielberg directed. The previous week, we introduced the kids to the first Jurassic Park film. It still holds up. The sequel does not. There are many… Read More The Joys of Watching Stuff You Hate
There are few things on this earth worth caring about less than Scooby-Doo. As mentioned on the Twitter, Scooby-Doo is entertainment for bored children of the 1960’s -70’s who didn’t huff enough Carbona to sit through H.R. Puffenstuff. It’s a cut above other Hanna-Barbera product of that time, such as Honeymooners, BC and Atomic Age… Read More P.T. Barnum is Become Death, The Destroyer of Worlds: How Velma Ate Your Hatred and Crapped Out a Season Renewal
If you watch Breaking Bad on Netflix, you will not notice that the show’s final season was bifurcated. But if you watched it at the time, you had to wait almost an entire year between the first and second half of that season. The first half ends with Hank Schrader discovering that Walter White is… Read More One’s Self I Sing – Breaking Bad and Freedom
This probably contains SPOILERS, but I’ve really written it for people who’ve already watched the season. If you’ve never watched it, it won’t make sense to you. I wasn’t really going to take the time to analyze Stranger Things. I wasn’t even going to watch it. Others have pointed out that the show has lost… Read More Dumping on Popular Entertainment: Stranger Things Has Too Many Characters
It must be Biopic season, because I’ve just sat down of my own free will and watched two fictionalizations of actual events: one from my infancy, which I look on with fascination, and one from my early adulthood, which I disdain with the snobbery of a thousand dead aristocrats. The second thing, Pam & Tommy… Read More Pam and Tommy and Steve and Johnnie
