Spider-Noir trailer. Still not signing up for Amazon, though.

That looks amazing! I’m suspending my Prime account this week, we’ll see what that does to my entertainment options I guess.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why is Netflix doing this "half a season at a time" thing with all their shows now? It makes no sense -- you lose out on being able to discuss the show between each episode, because people are watching at different rates, and also the time between the two parts is so long that people who binge-watch the first part lose interest by the time the second part comes out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

you lose out on being able to discuss the show between each episode, because people are watching at different rates, and also the time between the two parts is so long that people who binge-watch the first part lose interest by the time the second part comes out.

It truly is the worst possible compromise between the one-per-week and all-at-once release options.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The only thing I can think of is it forces people to stay subscribed longer in order to see the whole thing (though going weekly would likely serve the same purpose so I'm not sure.)

Is it weird that the thing most tempting me to resubscribe to Hulu is the Malcolm in the Middle thing? Feels weird.

It looks fun! It's getting good reviews.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

It sounds pretty cute, but I have a lot of things I'm watching. I'll probably get to it. much closer to a good time than "The Testaments" although at least, if I remember the book correctly, the women of Gilead do get to win that round. So that's something.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

cheerios: The "Malcolm" story that is blowing my mind the most right now isn't even on the show-- it's that "Dewey" loves college at Harvard so much that despite being offered money, attention, and a congenial cast that's fond of him, he'd rather do that.(I *hoped* that's what college would feel like, but there is not enough "So not," in the Four Corners area to cover the gap between my wishes and what I got.)And at least, I didn't build a career or anything(Someday I hope to close that particular "bitter" tag, but...) Not to sound anti-intellectual or too process-oriented or anything, but everything he passed up there is most of what I went to college to have, even as I respect his dedication to a discipline(Possibly English lit) and not chasing shiny objects and so forth.

Aw, good for him. I did see there was that casting change but I had no idea what was behind it.
