Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





replace him with Tracy Morgan like they did on Squidbillies when Unknown Hinson ran his mouth

if you gently caress up in media you get replaced by Tracy Morgan, period, thems the breaks

God, they really should of recast him. Now that we're all over the initial shock of him dying I think it's fair to say that Boseman was the worst part of the first film.

Really? I thought he was a great but outshown ofc by Michael B Jordan who gets the juicy he's right but role

I honestly know nothing about the African film industry. How sophisticated and financially resourced is it? Korea had a pretty professionalized television and film industry for decades before Hallyu really blew up in recent years.

Nollywood has suffered in recent years along with the rest of the Nigerian economy. most output are historical dramas or love stories, but nothing super notable recently catches my eye. check out King of Thieves or Battle of Buka Street

Every country has its own film industry pretty much. But Ugandan action movies are especially amazing. Who Killed Captain Alex is a must see.

I think Netflix sent out fake numbers just to get everyone to look up The Night Agent, a show no one actually watched.

Netflix has created some bizarre other viewership that doesn't interact with reality. They leave something on while they fold laundry and can't remember what it is when they're done, so they never talk to anyone else about it. I've watched seventy shows this year and over a hundred movies and I had to go down that list to Wednesday and You before I recognized them as shows people have talked about and not some ChatGPT hallucinations.

I have this weird thing where I instinctively don't watch new stuff Netflix is clearly pushing to me because, much like clicking a news story on Google News, it makes me worry that I'm only going to get that poo poo put in front of me and nothing else.

like somehow Google News has given me an entire unignorable section on pro wrestling that I can't get rid of.

I was like "What guy from Buffy? I can't see anyone I recognize from that show, but I'm definitely gonna tell this goon that I'm extremely disappointed they don't recognize this guy.", before I realized this guy was the guy from Buffy you were referring to.

i am becoming increasingly convinced that Will Menaker's theory that these movies and shows are not being produced in this world but using some kind of dimension-spanning tech to pull them from other timelines.

night agent was solidly mediocre. a more pro-cia, quibful, lib-fantasy version of the jack ryan show. oh no wait...im thinking about The Recruit....



night agent was solidly mediocre, another one of these weird shows that dont seem to understand how DC or the secrecy state works, yet wants to set their entire plot in that space. still lots of quibs

Isn't it functionally more like it has an entirely parallel scientific trajectory? Like, it's not the equivalent of an oil exporting economy like Saudi Arabia, but more like an oil-dependent diversified economy like that of the US.

Yeah, it relies on the extraction of one resource, but that resource is expressly not exported and whose very existence is kept a huge secret. This still leads to oligarchy, but in a different way.

In the comics, T'Challa sells the metal to fund projects but I don't know if that's been rebooted at this point.

They should replace him with Arnold Moss, the guy who played Kodos the Executioner in Star Trek.

There is a slight hitch in that he died in 1989 but these are just the challenges any modern production has to work around.

Eternals were created when Jack Kirby took too much acid one time in the 70s.
