Was that a decision by the agency making the commercial or just the unavoidable byproduct of featuring Eli Manning?

By rights Ke Huy Quan should have been nominated in this category, but I assume the people doing the nominating thought his chances would be better for Supporting Actor.

I can believe it, they probably use it once after each mortgage payment they have to make on the damned thing reminds them just how much they spent on it.

I'm glad it brought us a really good live action depiction of Dr. Fate (something I never dreamed I'd see), but I don't mind not seeing any more of Black Adam or his associated characters and story elements. My only regret is Cavill's Superman being thrown out with the bathwater.

Oh, individually only the interaction ones were problematic (and even then, I assume Bobby must have been able to converse about other topics at some point to make straight friends in the first place); it's only in aggregate that they paint a picture of someone obsessed with his sexual identity to the exclusion of everything else in life.

Yeah, unapologetically being your authentic self is one thing, but it seemed to me that being gay was Bobby's whole personality and identity. His podcast was about being gay, the books he wrote were about gay characters, the script he was contacted about writing was a gay rom-com, he's the director of a new LGBTQ museum, his conversations with his friends (straight, gay, and otherwise) were all about gay relationships, he goes to gay-focused events, his date night was to a gay movie, he couldn't sit down to ONE dinner with his boyfriend's family without turning the conversation to gay activism in a crude and hectoring manner. Great Paul Lynde's ghost dude, would it kill you to take a breath and talk about current events or ask your friends what their kids are learning in school once in a blue moon?

My assumption is that Hetty died in her 40s based on her appearance. If the beginning of her grudge against Molly corresponds with her wedding, she was probably born in the 1850s, so a young child or teenager during the Civil War?

I bought an antique 1880s wardrobe that WILL NOT stay locked no matter what, but as there has been no other evidence of unusual activity from it I'm going to chalk that up to the ravages of time on the lock mechanism.

Is Bishop that great a character? I'd think Monet St. Croix would have eclipsed him by now. (Mind you, I think Stevie Hunter is the second most awesome black X-Men character, and I'd love to see her in a movie.)

Those takeout delivery services are already so sketchy about fees and vetting drivers, you'd think they would be really careful not to put off potential customers with questionable advertising.

As a kid I used to make sandwiches of mustard, sweet pickle slices, and crushed up Pringles.

My mother makes spaghetti sauce from ketchup and little bits of bacon and onion. It's not completely horrible, but going over to a friend's house when his mom made spaghetti with marinara sauce for dinner was a revelation!

In any case, I haven't been able to stand Anthony Anderson since seeing him and Kevin Hart do the Brokeback Mountain spoof in Scary Movie 4, and that was before finding out about the multiple sexual assault allegations against him. He and his overbearing, nightclubbing mama can GTFO my TV screen.

An incredible diplomat would have handled this whole situation considerably better. I suspect the same would be true from a business point of view as well, but we'll have to wait and see what the box office proves regarding that. No, actually we don't. And since Warner Bros. isn't paying me millions of dollars for an upcoming movie with similar future paydays up in the air, I have no intention of doing so.

Much as I love the mental image of Asher Winnie-the-Poohing it everywhere the way Trevor does, yes he wears concealing underwear that's mostly obscured by his shirt tails.

More like they needed the power of the gods to do the things the heroes can't do. Hawkman wasn't exactly slow to swing that morning star and axe when he had a super-powered villain to square off against, he just wasn't strong enough to kill Sabbac with them.

I'd have preferred they kept Cavill in the role and let Superman age until he was the gray-haired elder statesman the original version of the character (later referred to as the Golden Age or Earth-2 Superman) eventually became.

Man, I would pitch the network a sequel, No More Second Chances, where the woman fully recovers from her TBI, realizes how fucked up those events are, has the husband jailed on kidnapping charges, and cuts off all contact with the relatives and friends who helped him while building a new found family of people she can trust.

I'd be interested in seeing what they thought the benefits would be for the "piss off every customer possible" strategy they currently seem to be following. Isn't Westworld one of the big draws to the HBO Max streaming service? You'd think having the existing episodes available through the end of their contract with the production company would help with subscriber numbers without costing them much extra.

Yeah. As for her comments about "people of all ethnicities and identities have and will continue to contribute to the network ... both in front of and behind the camera"... does anyone recall seeing a person of color or an openly queer actor in any of the network's projects? Ever? I even heard Trevor Donovan scrubbed his social media of any explicit mention of the LGBTQ community after switching networks, and supposedly Bill Abbot's support for his anti-bullying and inclusion program was a big factor in moving to GAC! I guess he's only allowed to worry about straight white kids being bullied and excluded now. Just like Jesus would have been.

Hey Netflix, Luke Macfarlane is available now. Time to start a new franchise of gay-themed Christmas movies with a more sarcastic, sexier vibe!

Jeez, at this point do I need to worry about James Gunn breaking into my house to take away my Man of Steel and Wonder Woman blu-rays?

So if the big difference is just that the character is younger, rather than going back to change foundational elements of his origin, first meetings with other major DC characters like Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Batman, and Wonder Woman, etc., WHY is it so necessary that he be younger rather than just telling the story using the popular and well-cast actor they already had? And if Gunn is jonesing so bad for Smallville: The College Years, couldn't he have done that story in addition to Superman movies starring Cavill? Having two different Jokers in movies around the same time and Schrödinger's Batman actor don't seem to be dealbreakers...

Well, Gunn's wife is one of the regular cast members on Peacemaker, sooo...

I just don't get the choices they are making at all. Burst DC fandom's balloon two months after Cavill's surprise return generated enormous amounts of excitement and goodwill. Imply a line-wide reboot as you're beginning the marketing for two now-irrelevant movies in the pipeline for next year, one of which is a sequel to a movie that got audiences to pay over a billion dollars to see frickin' Aquaman. Lead actors who were almost universally loved and did near-perfect jobs embodying their iconic characters (despite the questionable quality of the last couple of films they appeared in) while behaving professionally are disposable, while actors who range from problematic to leading candidate to be the next David Koresh are irreplaceable and their projects are being released with them still spotlighted no matter what.
