The only guy who seems to have figured out Netflix's deal is Mike Flanagan, who is gonna keep getting a new Mini-Series with the same cast every year until they hit diminishing returns

He actually just finished his last project with them. He got a multi-picture/series deal with Amazon where he's trying to get The Dark Tower project off the ground

Apple seems to be one of the few streamers making some decisions that aren't dumb as hell so I hope Killers of the Flower Moon wins Best Picture. Mostly because it'd be funny if Apple effortlessly wins it again after Netflix badly wanted it with The Irishman.

If they couldn't do it with Idris Elba and Matthew McConoughey they can't do it at all

Season 33 onward has been a big improvement. Is it as funny as the golden age episodes? Definitely not, but I've been enjoying the newer eps more often than not these days. They've made the characters nicer to each other and if nothing else, it's better than the era when Homer was an edgy jackass because they wanted to compete with the likes of South Park, Family Guy, etc.

didnt they make it a sequel to the book series that had 8 books in it? Seems like you are asking a lot for your audience to have that much prior book knowledge

It was more that they jammed books 1 and 5/6/7 together in very loving weird and needless ways.

And the direction and the art direction were baffling

drat near every choice but the casting was the worst to be made

Disney should just sell merch for movies they never make. They can create marketable characters. They just can’t think of any stories that include them.

Yea I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It might not have been the funniest episode out there but it was pretty entertaining to see how the Simpsons cast would react when put into that situation. Definitely benefitted from being a two-parter.

I simply can't believe Charles planned and executed Diana's murder. Not for any positive reason, I just don't think he would be capable.

Lol I meant more that he was involved in it rather than being the mastermind but yes, that's a good point. That was unfair of me.

It's like accusing a poodle that learned to stand upright of accessory to murder just bc his owner did it while the poodle watched

what’s the theory on Diana’s death being a deliberate hit? It was her own driver going very fast (in response to the paparazzi), wasn’t it? is the idea that the they knew her car would speed away and the car was sabotaged?

something about a bodyguard, and the driver was drunk? it's an easy theory to latch on to because both sides hated each other. it's much more realistic that the royal family was happy she died and didn't give a poo poo

yeah that is what I always figured. mechanically and logistically it seems hard for it to be an assassination because it relies on her own team making the decision to speed away. but I am certainly open to theories

Diana was going to convert to Islam after marrying Dodi Fayed. Having a humanitarian activist and a woman as the very public face of Islam would have upended the Deep State's plan to sell Islamophobia and the Global War on Terror as the new existential threat that would necessitate more money being poured into the MIC and the CIA, so they rang up Dodi Fayed's uncle, Adnan Khashoggi, to have her killed.

on the other hand he had the best motive, in that he really had the hots for Camilla

in the old times royals had to invent a religion to get rid of the ol' ball n' chain but now a car crash will do

Nero was a Charles-esque failson and softboy who had an overbearing mother, but he didn't wait for her to die. He had an intricately rigged weighted canopy put on her favorite pleasure boat that was supposed to collapse and smother her. The thing worked but she got out from under it unscathed. So he had the boat sank. But she managed to swim to shore. So he just had her beaten to death.
