    I saw this last night, and I'm still laughing about "Holly Poly Christmas".

    The bisexual "Christmas With Either" is the one that got me.

    Easy Rider reboot is in the works.  All I can say is "Why????"

    There was already a (nominal) prequel called Easy Rider: The Ride Back about ten years ago.  It involved no one involved in the original production, but did license the name and characters.  It was bad enough to be featured on How Did This Get Made.  

    No matter how bad the reboot is going to be, it's still better than that.

  4. I definitely didn't love the show, but given that I ended up binging it despite not having much more than a morbid (so to speak) curiosity says they were doing something right.  Mostly, that was Jenny Ortega.  And really, all of the kids, especially Enid.

    I like Catherine Zeta-Jones a lot, and while she physically made a great Morticia, the performance just didn't work for me.  I'd put a lot of that on the writing, and look, no one is ever going to measure up against Carolyn Jones or Angelica Huston, but she didn't really seem to understand who Morticia is.

    I was also a little surprised that they kept the movie's backstory that Fester was Gomez's brother, since originally he was Morticia's uncle.

  5. I'm up to episode 4 and enjoying it, although I agree that there's not much here that seems like the Addams Family, although Jenny Ortega is great.

    For the love of God, if you're going to have Christina Ricci in your cast, SHE should be Morticia.

  6. I'm a little disheartened to discover that there were enough fans accusing Kit Connor of queerbaiting that he felt compelled to come out as bi. 

    I mean, good for him being honest, but no one should be demanding a celebrity be out before they're ready.

    The Dan Slott run, they did other weird meta stuff like there being Marvel comics which were accurate histories of the MU and legally admissible evidence

    While Slott did add the bit about the comics being legal documents because of their being published under the CCA, he didn't invent the idea that Marvel Comics were published in the Marvel Universe.

    Why don't we give Dave Filoni a shot?

    Because he doesn't have that great of a hit-to-miss ratio, at least in Live Action.

    Kevin Feige Talks ‘Wakanda Forever’ and Supporting James Gunn’s DC Move: “I’ll Be First in Line”

    I wish Marvel and DC fans could behave more like Marvel and DC creatives.

    You know, they play softball against each other (or did, before DC moved its offices to Burbank) and attend each other's movie premieres.  They don't spend all day and night sniping at each other on social media.

    I hope the reason was that Freema Agyeman and Noel Clarke declined and not that they weren't invited.

    Noel Clarke was accused of sexual harassment by twenty different women.  I can't imagine they'd have wanted him.

    I can picture her, Jerry Orbach and David Ogden Stiers having a Beauty and the Beast reunion right about now.

    Hope they invited Howard Ashman.
