Just checked and both of those shows are still up in the US (though I can't find the original cut of AD Season 4 anywhere)

Yeah AD getting removed from Netflix was a thing we knew about. In the UK it’s here until March 14th but I think it’s getting removed from the US service earlier?

Watching the first few episodes of Poker Face and seeing the audience knows whodunnit from the beginning is quite fun. I’m presuming Columbo and Murder She Wrote both did this too? It’s been years since I’ve seen either and don’t remember.

DaveWoo posted:Columbo does, Murder She Wrote doesn't. Every once in a while Murder She Wrote does it just to shake things up I guess. And sometimes it does a strange inbetween where Jessica just goes “it’s YOU” with zero proof and everyone thinks she’s crazy so obviously she’s right but you don’t get the visual confirmation on it. Y’all I am enjoying my Murder She Wrote rewatch. Angela Lansbury has a loving hilarious drunk act. Also 1-2 men fall in love with her per episode. I did not remember her getting this much tail.

arsenicCatnip posted:lolwat The Bear full season spoilers: The main character's brother was secretly stashing borrowed money in tomato tins which he stored at his failing restaurant. I think the logic is that he was suicidal, and figured he'd give his family some money after he died, but secretly -- circumventing debt repayments the money would otherwise go to. And he put the cash in cana of tomato because none of the recipes at the restaurant used any -- there's a gag in an earlier episode about the cans being yet another case of the dead brother being bad with money.

But that's what makes me wonder about the second season. Jimmy Cicero is surely going to come hunting for his money.

I'm enjoying Hello Tomorrow so far. It's like a cross between Mad Men / Glengarry and Severance.

https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1628875118457004033 Ah ok here's what I think is going on: David Zaslav is from the future and he blames WB for the death of his parents and he has come back in time to destroy the company and everything it holds dear quote:Warner Bros. has a packed upcoming slate. To round out the second quarter, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” will arrive in a matter of weeks. Kicking off the summer is Ezra Miller’s “The Flash,” followed by the hotly anticipated “Barbie,” from director Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. In August, Jason Statham will face a prehistoric shark yet again in “Meg 2: The Trench,” and New Line will roll out DC’s “Blue Beetle.” Meg 2: The Trench. Also genuinely cannot believe they are moving ahead with the Flash after all the Ezra poo poo, how the gently caress did they dodge that poo poo zoux fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Feb 23, 2023 |

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1628875118457004033 Okay, first off, that's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Well done. Second, I've read the article a couple times, and while I initially read "New Lord of the Rings Movies" as "Remaking LotR", it's ambiguous, and I think it's just making new movies in Middle Earth? As a way of competing with Amazon, since they have rights to some stories Amazon doesn't? It's not too insane, and is kind of what I expected, if that's what they're doing. I mean, I'm sure those movies would suck, but still, whatever, so did the Hobbit movies. If it's a remake of LotR, we ride for WB at dawn.

I think that even they don't even know. The only thing here is Zaslav sees franchise, Zaslav says more must be done with franchise because those are the only movies worth making. So, unless you do something like appoint someone to head the franchise and plan it carefully like they are trying to do with DC now, it's just going to be scattershot throw stuff at the wall who cares where it fits.

Make more Lord of the Rings that I'll never watch, I don't care. Already skipping the Amazon LotR. They already made as close to perfect as we can ever get of an adaptation of the books. New efforts are entirely pointless and superfluous so no need to watch em.

I'd be up for another straight adaptation of LotR as long as it had the goal of not aping the Jackson movies and was driven by creative choices rather than corporate ones. I dig those flicks and all, but they're far from the only valid possible adaptation of the source material, especially since Jackson set a solid bar for respect of the source material. Of course, that wouldnt apply to this situation which is just a clear cashgrab, but sometime down the line I'd love to see a LotR that was more like Excalibur or Green Knight in its vibe.

That's straight up fantasyland stuff though. Especially in these particular circumstances with a clownishly greedy and short sighted CEO making desperate grasps for IP within reach as he leads a company literally made of debt, as a joke on the taxpayer. Whatever resources a better-LotR would take are not on the table at this nadir of television and film.
