    I don't know how much sense an ad-supported service you still pay for makes, business wise. Like...I dabble with one or two of the subscription services that have ads...When they're free. I can't imagine paying a subscription fee--even if it was just a few bucks--to just have content-access...

    ...Star Trek Discovery has been on four seasons already? Covid-dilithium* time-dilation bullshit is apparently a thing, because I feel like it hasn't been around very long...While simultaneously being around longer than anyone really wants it to be. *(Dilithium is the time-travel thing in Star...

    Perhaps 'improved' is hard to say just because the original is a masterpiece (even if also one that ripped off another masterpiece...I dunnow), but the Magnificient Seven remake rejiggered things to include a freedman, a chinaman, and a native and it felt pretty organic and fit into things...

    I assume they're going to make some alterations to the old woman disguise she uses? Because uhh... I could see some eyebrows getting raised.

    G4TV hosts then: We're literally *reviewing video games* for money, so let's have fun with this shit. Dick jokes! Boob jokes! Pretend another host is addicted to cocaine! G4TV hosts now: We need to have a serious conversation... No. No we don't. They're video games, and you're being paid to...

    Female sexuality exists in a quantum superposition of being both exploitation and empowerment. At least until observed by some activist weirdo, at which point it collapses into being whichever one they prefer it to be for the political messaging of their podcast or other preferred venue of...

    So, the whole thing reads like a travesty of bullshittery, Perrin being married perhaps most egregious to my own self because I recall doing a little bit of swooning over his fictional behind, but... It's been many years since I read the first four or so WoT books, but...uh...Wut? Like...Big...

    As I hear (though haven't investigated for myself and could be BS) they axed the old versions from digital stores as well.

    Make the bad mouse stop. Seriously. I don't care about anything else connected to it, because no matter the changes it's just going to be more nostalgia-bait nonsense that will do nothing original and have none of the charm of the original--none of the adventure-movie-ish serial tone*, and...

    At least they didn't put Teela in a skort and an abusive relationship with Evil-Lyn, though. ... ...I've stumbled upon the finale of the show, haven't I.

    In...attempted fairness to Heavy Metal, it could be their new ownerships attempt at publicity.

    In...Look at this and be amused news... The CW was making a Powerpuff Girls live-action (I know I, for one, cringe just typing that). They're now reshooting the pilot episode for some reason...Theory being because of leaked script stuff that was...well, (Site no like linking photos from...

    I'd bet money on Amber Heard getting dropped because of the whole abuse scandal. Warner Brothers might not be quite as image-obsessed as Disney is, but her abusing Depp stars big enough personalities and is becoming a mainstream-enough news story itself that it seems much more likely the culprit...

    That's almost impressive, honestly. With a lot of states still having bars on activities and the like because of Wuhan flu, the assumption seems like it would be that televised entertainment should be soaring. That said, because of the delays, it is overlapping with football season and, I...

    Ehh, certainly reactions back and forth (the butch lesbian image becoming more glorified arguably rising in the 80s-90s as reaction to some explicit villification and othering that had been done because lipstick lesbians were a more palatable sell in terms of imagery) but these are rather...
