Killing Bond at the end of the Craig era was a *favor* to these new writers. Now they’re free to start over and not have to pretend they’re connected to the older movies. They have sixty years of Bond villains they can reimagine and reintroduce.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

D&D fans, I’m told Cynda Callaway has passed away. Cynda was the production expert who worked with various printers and manufacturers to get D&D books and boxes on shelves, on time, through the 5E era and beyond. She was a genuine unsung hero and all of us fans owe her a lot. RIP. #dnd

Uh, didn’t Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock win statewide races just a few years ago?

/3 Notice also how thankfully Heritage accepts the gift that people like Ezra Klein give them: if you can frame bigotry as a “debate,” if it’s done in a friendly chat or a podcast or some other stylized forum, then it’s just uncouth and intolerant to call it out. Works out swell for bigots.

Whoa, that’s an interesting pairing.
“I Saw the TV Glow” writer-director Jane Schoenbrun is doing a series at Netflix based on Charles Burns’ “Black Hole” comics (which also have a long on-off history with movie adaptations). Details here.

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.
"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't
there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly
and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

Why the fuck Is Disney still trying to make TRON a thing? Why not THE BLACK HOLE or THE COMPUTER THAT WORE TENNIS SHOES? Straight talk: no one cares; no one has ever cared. It’s like CBS/Paramount announcing the Quinn-Martin cinematic universe. So embarrassing.

If the NFL offered a streaming service that was just Al Michaels calling or commenting on the weeks’ game while tripping balls, I’d subscribe immediately.
The audio on the Prime feed of the Giants-Eagles game is screwed up, slowing down and stuttering, which means it repeatedly sounds like Al Michaels is tripping balls.

This is amazing! Not just #88, but three additional issues. Congrats, Rick and crew.
My longtime (near lifelong) pal Rick Veitch announced this earlier today, OK for me to share now, here, with you.
It's real. It's happening. At long last.

This is it, Hollywood; the moment of truth. After years of showing up at award shows wearing pins and ribbons, you can finally make a real difference. No new work for Disney. No new work for CBS/Paramount. Reporters, ask everyone who works for Disney/Paramount why they support Trump.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.
