I've only ever seen Kroll as a guest in other things I've seen like What We Do in the Shadows or Community, and he just seems to try and pull focus in any scene he's in.

I did think it was weird at first that she was called Stormfront, like, they know there's another thing called stormfront, right? And then it all became clear.

It's bad that so many of you are unaware of a massive white supremacist group. None of this is making you look any better.

You're being needlessly antagonistic right now, you know that? Yes, they're very bad, but being angry at people for not knowing about something isn't great either.

Tangentially, I really like the meeting between Mr Edgar and Butcher. It�s such a wonderfully acted scene. The little mask slip of Edgar�s �Of course it does.� is masterful.

I went to a Transformers convention in Chicago at this huge hotel by O�Hare where they had other conventions on at the same time including a couple of business ones, and a Supernatural one. I�ve never seen so much flannel on one place.

I never got the bit about them starring in their own movies, which are about them. I get that supes are a completely marketed product, but it feels very redundant, when you could do gags about who�s playing who.

The suicide squad movie was pretty great, and the peacemaker series is basically more of the same. Cena has a surprising range.

Is this Gunn's actual gift? Pulling really good actors out of ex-wrestlers? I honestly hope we see more of the Cenaissance.

I think Netflix is also realizing that the strategy of "release everything on the same day" makes it too easy for people to pause their subscription for 11 months, wait for 2-3 shows they enjoy to come out, binge them over a 30 day period, then pause again. That's still entirely doable but you miss out on the real-time conversations about the show itself.

Also, there�s an issue where their shows fall off the radar incredibly quickly because they all drop at once. There�s no ongoing word of mouth to drum up excitement.

Going back I thought everyone/the general public assumed Stormfront was dead. Did the world know Vought was keeping her alive somewhere in the tower? Reporting her suicide writ big like that felt weird.

Season 2 was hilarious for all the wrong reasons. The World�s Most Depressing Bar, for instance.

Season 1 is one of favourite TV things ever. The tinge of the supernatural, Louisiana as a stunning backdrop, McConaughey and Harrellson acting their hearts out. God, it�s so good.

The John Wick movies are so weird to me because it puts top-tier production values, pacing, fight choreography, etc. all in the service of a script for a crappy small-budget 80s-to-early-90s action flick like the ones RiffTrax riff on fairly frequently. The script just totally has that air of "I didn't do my research and don't care to because this is THE story my heart has been burning to tell for my entire life: the tale of a badass society of super-assassins, and the most badass one of all, the one who the Russian mob call 'Baba Yaga' because he is like the boogeyman. That's what that means, right? They both start with 'B'! Ah, never mind, it's an obscure folk tale anyway, I doubt anyone will notice and it would just get in the way of My Story"

Not saying they're bad, but they definitely show what some of those labor-of-love movies could potentially have been with the right backing.

The Wick movies only make sense to me if I think of them as video games. There�s no �real� people in the world, only Wick, the PC, various NPCs he interacts with, enemies/cannon fodder, and then background not even vaguely real people.

Speculation: Clone Homelander/Noir is kept secret until Homelander becomes too much of a problem, so they kill the clone (to show to the world he's dead), and real Homelander goes into hiding/witness protection. Final show of the show is Homelander with dyed hair and a beard, sitting in a regular house hating every second of it.
