Last Samurai is a good movie because the white dude is a trainwreck who realizes that Ken Watanabe is the actual badass and then they all get mowed down by gatling guns for their trouble.

in 2035 when Christ Pratt is finally like "oh yeah Elliot Page mentioned something about the founder of my church being a bigot 16 years ago, maybe I should finally spend 30 seconds googling that" he's going to be so embarrassed

Elliot Page specifically called out Chris Pratt for going to a church that practiced conversion therapy, and he was wrong. This church does not practice conversion therapy. Elliot Page clearly had the wrong information, for a lot of people this is going to be completely discrediting. I actually think Elliot mixed this church up with Hillsong. This pastor seems to be fairly careful what he says in public because his target demographic is rich, relatively liberal denizens of Los Angeles. And let's be clear, in a megachurch like this you aren't getting to know the pastor on a very close personal level. What attracts most people to churches like this are the services they offer, especially for children. And those typically do accept all comers. These sorts of institutions are insidious in that they take relatively liberal minded people and indoctrinate them into more conservative religious ideologies as they grow closer to the inner circle of the church.

I haven't seen the beetlejuice musical but when it came out and it was blowing up among musical nerds, which is a few years ago now but I think part of the appeal was it was this scrappy low-rent high-enthusiasm production that started either off-broadway or off-off-broadway anyway I saw a clip where there's a lady singing and she's like one of those hippydippy astrology-and-auras type of people, and she's singing to lydia deetz about how we're all part of the universe and new age bullshit helps her make life decisions and then she says crystals speak to her, and then she holds a crystal up to her ear and the music cuts out and a voice whispers "buy more crystals." I thought that was pretty funny and that's the only part of it I've seen. overall I give Beetlejuice the musical 7/10

Why do so many shows release the first two episodes in the first week. Is it just a lack of confidence? Anyway I feel like 1 hour a week of tokyo vice is the max I can put up with, 2 hours up front is a big ask

This isn't secret info and elliot page getting a detail wrong isn't going to be "completely discrediting" unless you're a moron I mean, the thing is, it isn't just "a detail", it's the only detail. Page went after Pratt based specifically on the fact that he went to a certain church and basically nothing else. Like there wasn't some other whole big story of a pattern of behavior or some bad personal experience, it was just "he goes to Hillsong which is bad". And then that turned out not to be true, so like, I think Page just takes the L on this one. I don't see any reason to keep digging in your heels. There are other reasons to think Pratt is lame and dumb.

No Mods No Masters posted:Why do so many shows release the first two episodes in the first week. Is it just a lack of confidence? Not sure if this is the reason but often the first episode of a show isn't that representative of what the show's like as there's often quite a bit of set up/exposition in the first episode, and even just the cast and crew are still figuring stuff out, so first episodes can sometimes be a bit rough. Particular if it was a pilot that was filmed a bit before. On the audience side, yeah probably a bit of luck of confidence, the broadcasts may be thinking if they watch two episodes they may get more invested in the show, and be more likely to remember to watch it next week.

Yeah I guess it does make sense if you start from the mindset that the first episode of a show is the worst one like 90% of the time
