The only role I really remember her as was the teacher from Lab Rats, where she’s also a bit of an eccentric. I think she’s good at the comedy aspect. Speaking of, I kind of wish we got a shitpost of another HBO show instead of Succession. Like White House Plumbers.

Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku 1-2. Been a while since a good old fashioned supernatural feudal era story in the vein of Ninja Scroll.

Hunger - 7.5/10 Apparently “kitchen horror” is now a genre, as this Thai take on haute cuisine and the people paying for it being vapid idiots is both more optimistic and more cynical than The Menu. The Menu is about a guy losing his passion and taking it out on morons, while Hunger is about people replacing their passion with elitism and cynicism, but at the same time saying the passion is worth fighting for. It’s a more “conventional” film than The Menu. Mario - 6.5/10, 7.5/10 if you see it in a fancy 4DX. A perfectly serviceable but safe film that needed some more time to breathe and a bit more elaboration, but is never boring. Yes, add a point if you watch it in the fancy theater with the moving seats because it turns a regular film into an amusement park ride of sorts and really contributes to the visual spectacle that the film wants to be.

“Immortals. We put their name to the test.”

Funny enough, most of the big gets for the next few months are going to be Western because of Crunchyroll keeping stuff for itself and Hulu, and Hulu keeping Bleach. Unicorn: Warriors Eternal and My Adventures with Superman may be kids show sent to Toonami because action cartoons don’t work on CN proper, and arguably the biggest possible get in the next 12 months would be Creature Commandos. So if you feel like Toonami needs more Western stuff, wait a bit, because they don’t have a choice.

Live Action One Piece, from sheer confusion to Season 2 renewal.

Close. It’s a random rumor monger who posts unverified rumors for engagement and clout. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar numerous times recently though, such as posting fake DC rumors James Gunn said were BS. That being said, GriftTube ran with the story and still reports it as fact, because it fits the narrative of filthy western activists ruining everything. -

Yeah, it’s adverse interest to not let safe prescriptions sell for profit. -

I just know we’ll never have the sheer whiplash kids did when it debuted. Yes, it replaced the Japanese dub of the original Ninja Turtles cartoon.

A new clip of this disasterpiece just hit and yes, that’s the Light from Netflix Death Note as Bruce Wayne. I’m convinced at this point RWBY is an active shitpost whose current writers actively conspire to make it look and sound worse lest they be judged as an actual show and look like the dumpster fire they are.

Yikes. -
I think the lesson is “Don’t book Rudy Giuliani.” Granted I think most of could have told them that for less than $787 million USD.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/fox-settles-dominion-defamation-lawsuit-1235376372/ $787 million was the agreed settlement. I would have pushed for a round billion, but whatever. A separate lawsuit with another voting machine company is pending but this is strong incentive to settle that one as well
-
A settlement is official. The details of such are unknown but I have to imagine at least 3/4 of the lawsuit amount in damages and public apologies.

Not when the guy was lying his ass off over the Detective Pikachu sequel, the release date for a Rise of the Beasts trailer, and other botched scoops. But that reaffirms my earlier point. There’s no winning because everyone wants to be the one to point and go “Ha! Ha!” even when the source is completely disingenuous. -

It’s more frustration with anyone being able to mine statements for fun and profit. Not to mention that even when semi-official sources push back, it’s still being seen as gospel. Also and this may straight up be hopeless optimism, but after Alice in Borderland and the Kenshin films, I was hoping that the adaptation curse of sorts could be bypassed and that shitty Bebop cringefest with the self declared PC censor was the end of people missing the point. Optimism can be hard.
