What did they do to the nice Sindhi lad?

I vaguely recall hearing that Kumail was told his introduction scene for his character was going to be some big barn burner action fight so he went all out and turned himself into some frankenstein caveman, only to at the last minute be told they were changing the fight scene into a dance scene

the recent Al Ewing Hulk comic, which got some critical acclaim, had plot beats about how Hulks typically don't have a different personality when doing super power poo poo. In that storyline, Bruce Banner has dissociative identity disorder separate from the Gamma radiation stuff, and different personalities come out depending on how he Hulks.

Marvel's Moon Knight character also has dissociative identity disorder.

Not a big fan of basically making that a comic book superpower.

it's absolutely nuts that a new game of thrones is dropping this sunday. I figure it will get at least a second season no matter what - they have too much money invested in this property to not at least try to build an audience for it. But I haven't seen a single ad for this thing anywhere! It's like they forgot they were making it!

So Wrestling company All Elite Wrestling is having a themed show today dedicated to the new GOT show.

Wrestling fans are basically nerds, they'll like our dragon show right?

In other news, How to with John Wilson is excellent. It reminds me a lot of Joe Peras shown on Adult Swim (RIP). I've heard it described as a show for introverts who are interested in people.

Shout out to Joe for portraying just how soulless Las Vegas is out side the strip.

So Kumail got mogged by RRR? It had both multiple dance scenes and action scenes and they were all better than the Eternals.

How To is very good. That first season finale was really sweet. Yet more proof anything Nathan Fielder is involved with is worth checking out.

Yeah, the commitment to what amounts as a season long background joke is amazing. I also like that Rob's initial pitch was for the whole cast to get fat, and they rejected it because no one is as insane as him.

this is a fictional distinction imposed by white supremacist colonialists on an oppressed population so actually Disney is doing decolonization by casting Pakistanis as Indians

yea it woulda been really easy to lean into the 'people expect Indian movies means lots of musical numbers' thing but they went for a real quality over quantity approach and it shows.

Like, it's genuinely great how RRR is both a meme movie and an actually skillfully made and performed movie. I hope the talk about it getting oscar nominations is genuine.

I mean I haven't seen it in probably 10 years, but I loved it. Danny DeVito just has a really cynical sense of humor and I think that's off-putting to some people. You take that, the concept, and the fact that it's an R-rated comedy and it's not hard to see why it bombed.

Ya know what would make a really good double feature? Death to Smoochy followed by For Your Consideration. Because they're both movies that hate the entertainment industry lol
