Remember when Bob Haney just had Batman get over everything?

Batman saying, “But seriously, I’ve also found peace at last! I’m no longer haunted by my orphaned childhood… killing my past by finally putting the ghosts of my parents to rest has freed me!”

Cheryl Lynn is definitively both great and underappreciated. Folks with hiring power, hire her.

Today's earworm. (For people who aren't aware, Das Koolies is basically "All of Super Furry Animals apart from Gruff Rhys," and that's basically what they sound like.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIG4...

This is not a pro-David Zaslav argument, that guy is a piece of shit, but I think it's more likely that Steven Universe and Regular Show are going to show up on Netflix or some other service soon than that they're being crated up and moved to the Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse.

you can — if you are a certain type of person with a particular identity — make a ton of money on substack. but if what you hope to do is produce good work, i think the risks of audience capture, as well as the absence of meaningful editing, is the kind of downside you shouldn’t ignore

Curated two panel comic by unknown author, from a scene in TNG "Cost of Living" with Lwaxana Troi. First panel, the wedding party is shocked to see Lwaxana arrive naked to her wedding. Second panel, we see Lwaxana from the neck up, with caption: I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.

Watching the Tom Cruise Mummy movie because it’s on Peacock, and I have no idea who thought “An American Werewolf in London, but it’s David Ayer’s Suicide Squad” was the direction to go in, but here we are.

They paid me more money than I had ever seen to write a sequel to a film that did not need one. I took the check and spent it on beers to get me drunk enough to plow through this crap.

I looked at the final script, which took a whopping 2 days to write, and said "wow, now that's a piece of shit." And it was.

I had faith in Rick Rosenthal and he did not deliver. I suppose I expected him to be a miracle worker and nobody could've made this work. I don't regret hiring him.

Embarrising. I had not a single clue what I was doing.

It's funny to think I thought a limosine would pick me up and take me to my first studio set after the world saw this movie. That never happened. I almost gave up and moved back home to Kentucky but I refused to let the world kick me down. Kinda.

People tell me they really like this one and I tell them they're crazy.

Hopefully your feature debut will be better than this. Won't be hard.

Everyone who made this should take a coma- inducing dose of LSD, stare at themselves in a mirror, and wait for their faces to morph into the hideous monsters they truly are.
