TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

Speaking of WBD, the movie everyone wanted released, Coyote vs ACME was officially shelved. Really hoping that one gets leaked.
 
I just started Tourist S1. Please no spoilers; I liked the pilot.

Jamie Dornan : Dr. Mrs. :: Sydney Sweeney : Me
 
I remember talking about the Perry Mason series on HBO (or MAX or whatever you want to refer to it as) recently on here. I totally missed the news when it came out that it was not renewed for a 3rd season. Ugh. Really hoping someone else will pick it up and keep it going. I have heard that they are trying to find a new home. Fingers crossed
 
I dont think that will happen. Almost every studio is bleeding money right now because they overinvested in streaming and are trying to cut costs. Even if it found a home it likely would have its budget slashed so badly it might as well just be on a network and turned into a procedural.

Like Handy said, the production costs did not help. But what also didn't help is that HBO/MAX did absolutely no promotion for it. I had no clue when the second season came out and didn't even know until someone here posted about it after the finale. I firmly believe that it's good enough to generate enough viewership to justify costs, but it needs proper promotion. But again, as Handy noted, the desire by a lot of companies and streamers to absolutely slash costs doesn't bode well for its chances of getting picked up somewhere else.

If you like it, better download it soon. They fucking threw Raised By Wolves in a hole a buried it so no one can watch it.

this shit needs to come with immediate transition to public domain of any work pulled like that. Use it or lose it.

It was niche. It was a studied rebellion against the clockwork stupidity of post-Sorkin winky jump-cut tired overproduced cleverness. And it was nostalgia for a genre that has no translation to contemporary mass culture. Noir comes in and out and at the moment its only expression is the adolescent pathos of the MCU. And it was quiet, and the iGenerations need constant reassurance, manipulation, and pandering to their victim neurosis.

Jesus Christ…I may need to finally change my handle from solovsfett

The Acolyte looks like pure garbage. They’re not even half trying like putting a different icing on the cake.

Solo’s brief pointed reviews of Disney Star Wars (some scores revised upon further reflection)
Obi-Wan: dog shit
Book of Boba Fett: F, terrible

Ahsoka: c+ to B- until the last 2 episodes destroyed it, so…D-

Madalorian: Seasons 1-2: B+ good stuff. Season 3: burn it. Terrible. No point in having a story if you violate every preceding plot points Or canon.

Force Awakens: C (due to Adam Driver’s performance or the grade would be a D)

Last Jedi: C/F…. C for trying something new by having Kylo kill Snoke. F, because Jesus Christ how do you possibly explain Luke Skywalker’s regression from defeating Palpatine and saving the galaxy to losing a fight with a novice non-Jedi or Jedi-in-training and whining the entire time like a 60-year old child. How Rian? How? Never mind I don’t care anymore. Piss off.

ROTS: ugh. F. Oooh loook it’s palpatine in clone form back from the dead. We promise this will be the last time we use this shitty trope.

Rogue One: A+!!! Home run. Proper use of canon, proper and great story. Great performances and memorable characters and development! How the hell did Iger and Kennedy green light this?


And now, Acolyte. I won’t be watching. Trailer sucks, Disney sucks. I’m taking a good long break from watching anything Star Wars.
