Trish watched the Dad episode of Angel this morning. I was just kind of watching along, and then I was startled: "That is Flo from Progressive!" - crash davis Aug 21, 10:09 8
- Yup. Files and Records. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 21, 10:30 1

Neil Gaiman Season 2: Sandman on Netflix performed well, but that may not be enough -- (link) - Remlik Aug 21, 09:53 7
- I think it gets renewed, but this is a timing deal. If it had come out any time before May 2022, it would have been renewed instantly. - David Aug 21, 09:56 6
  - If came out the week school started so that was a timing mistake as well -- nm - Remlik Aug 21, 09:59 5

        Where are the best universities in this country? -- nm - Krusty Aug 21, 12:31

        And now high school hours have changed. I need to post this in the garage so I know when I can and can't leave the house. - Meg Aug 21, 11:09

- Easy. They don’t and just get back to work tomorrow. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 21, 09:26 1
  - Yup, zeroed out my daily allowance and pretended it never happened. They *were* very small portions ;) -- nm - Meg Aug 21, 09:40

    - Her (possibly derisive) nickname is MAGA Thee Stallion - David Aug 21, 09:57 3
      - ugh -- nm - prayformojo Aug 21, 10:05
      - they put her in the ring far to early. -- nm - Remlik Aug 21, 09:58 1

- A lot to unpack here. - Mop Aug 21, 09:09 5
  - I think a negotiated peace is far off at this point. Putin is hard-headed and Zelensky is seeing the tide change -- nm - crash davis Aug 21, 10:04
  - You're overthinking it. It's like if Cancun was being bombed. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 09:27 3
    - Yeah. Crimea is where all the oligarchs spent their time, living lavishly as one does when you're the real power of Russia. -- nm - Qale Aug 21, 10:38 2
      - Ted Cruz would totally go to Crimea. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 11:17 1

Bodies Bodies Bodies added 1,210 theaters this weekend, and dropped 26% from last weekend. Ouch. -- nm - MDH Aug 21, 07:43 10
- From the trailer the characters seem so insufferable the thought of spending more than 5 minutes with them is off-putting. - LMS Aug 21, 09:26 3
  - Honestly, I think that's part of the gag. They're purposely obnoxious. I hated almost all of them and had a good laugh at their expenses. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 21, 10:52 2
    - I think any movie with Pete Davidson could be considered a horror...or at least horrific -- nm - Flavorize Aug 21, 11:03 1

- Isn't horror still pretty much one-and-done? -- nm - Qale Aug 21, 08:27 4
  - It is. That's actually a solid hold under Reagen and Dano's platforming rules. IIRC, something in the 70s is standard. -- nm - David Aug 21, 08:46
  - Black Phone had a good run -- nm - budice Aug 21, 08:28 2
    - Coming soon to Halloween Horror Nights! -- nm - David Aug 21, 08:46

I'm not sure why I find it weirder when She-Hulk breaks the fourth wall than when Deadpool does it... -- nm - Ender Aug 20, 23:10 8
- Because Deadpool is crazy? -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 23:47 2
  - That's probably it. -- nm - Ender Aug 20, 23:53 1
    - And because he-hulk doesn't, which is not a gender thing and not any more right considering She-Hulk's comics did it long before the movies... - Max Aug 21, 01:36
- Probably because of subtle differences in how Tim Miller handled it versus how Kat Coiro (or literally any other director) handles it - Beryllium Aug 20, 23:26 4
