"Too early" is cliché, but based what she had given us there was so much more she likely would have contributed in the future. Plus the kids losing their mother. That sucks.

givesomefucks, to moviesandtv in ‘The Idol’ Canceled At HBO After One Season

The show was terrible but I kept watching because I thought the main character would eventually get smarter and kick The Weekend to the curb…

And it seemed like that happened, then they took it all back at the very end.

One of the most pointless shows I’ve ever seen.

Although if the original director/showrunner wouldn’t have quit during filming their original vision probably would have been decent.

Did they quit or did they go on strike? I’m not familiar with the show or its behind-the-scenes happenings.

givesomefucks,

They quit because that Sam Levinson guy was/is a huge creeper…

Once he took over he did a lot of reshoots/rewrites that made the whole show waaaaay creepier, and I’m pretty sure the “twist” at the end wouldn’t have been there.

It all happened months before any strikes. I’m pretty sure the finale even aired before the strikes.

Thank you very much for the context!

KingOfNexus,

I liked the show. I understood the ending was that Joslyn? Was the most evil and revenge driven of everyone.

She brings Tedros back as revenge against her team who thought they controlled the whole situation. They were celebrating and patting themselves on the back, and tedros return was an ultimate fuck you to them and showing that she is in charge.

On top the tedros return was ultimate humiliation for him. She brings him on stage then shows how she has total control over him. He is not the confident controlling pimp from the start anymore, he is now destroyed and just a lap dog plaything for her to use as she wants.

This means at the end she has fucked over and controls everyone, with her fans never idolising her more.

cunning_bolt, to news in Ron DeSantis Says He Has “Moved On” And Disney Should Drop Its Lawsuit Against Him

Sounds like Disney is going to end up getting a lot of benefits and concessions in return for not publicly destroying DeSantis

roboticide,

The concession Disney wants is Reedy Creek back under their control, and DeSantis will look even weaker than he already does if he pushes to reverse the law that took it from them in the first place.

He can’t, and won’t, concede anything, because if the court rules in Disney’s favor he can at least blame the judiciary for the decision, so Disney won’t, and shouldn’t, stop hitting him with everything they got.

kescusay, to movies in Jonathan Majors Fired By Disney/Marvel Studios After Assault Guilty Verdicts; Actor Had Played Kang The Conqueror
@kescusay@lemmy.world avatar

Damn, how did I miss this? I honestly had no idea he was even on trial. And I enjoy - or rather, enjoyed - his performances. Not anymore.

Well, fuck him if he’s actually a domestic abuser. Good on Marvel for giving him the boot.

AngryishHumanoid,

Yeah same. I just finished Loki season 2 and enjoyed every second of him and it actually made me more excited to see what would happen with his character… But I’d much prefer an alternative than continuing to support an abuser.

HeyJoe,

This came up after the last season of Loki and I was genuinely shocked he was in this season since I heard they scrapped the storyline. I didn’t realize the trial was ongoing until today. I guess it was only right to see how it played out until firing him.

caseyweederman,

It was kinda weird to hear him mocking his other character’s stutter. Sure, it’s himself, but on the other hand it’s an actor without a stutter mocking a character with a stutter so it didn’t really land all that well.

tacosanonymous,

I knew it was alleged and he was charged and that it looked bad but I didn’t hear anything about it taking place until meow.

Son_of_dad,

I’ve been following the trial closely. His defense was just disgusting, essentially victim blaming and trying to discredit his victim. Also some texts came out during the trial that made him look like a complete psycho narcissist.

kescusay,
@kescusay@lemmy.world avatar

Yeesh, what a creep. Those texts are not the kind of thing a stable and rational person would write.

grayhaze,
@grayhaze@lemmy.world avatar

He’s always given me the impression that he’s not a nice person since I first saw him on screen. There was just something unsettling about him outside of any menace he portrayed in his roles.

He was also my least favourite part of the second season of Loki. It seemed like we were supposed to feel sorry for him in his bumbling professor incarnation, but I just found him annoying and unlikeable.

What is ironic about this is that Bezos could probably make all of their video streaming free and have no ads and still be making gobs of money. Their AWS ecosystem is practically a license to print money. Oh and that little store he runs on the side, too…

I will cancel. Obviously not everyone will but I was always on the piracy grind until it was easier not to be. I’ll be happy to to back to it. Fuck these cunts who up prices every few months and then don’t pay the creatives.

Bakkoda,

I just spun up three lxc’s on my proxmox server and they all end in arr

SonyJunkie,
@SonyJunkie@lemmy.world avatar

Out of curiosity, why have you decided to run each service in a separate lxc rather than just one lxc?

I am about to completely overhaul my set up and I’m not sure which way is best.

Bakkoda,

Ones for regular 1080p (Sonarr+Radarr), second one is 4k, then prowlarr+bazarr.

Really only split them up for naming and I have plenty of resources. I’m pretty much a novice to proxmox. It’s all a hobby for me.

gregorum, to news in Rolling Stone Founder Jann Wenner Apologizes For “Badly Chosen Words” About Black & Female Musicians

It’s too late, dude. You already told the world how you really feel— in full sexist and racist detail. This performative apology and explanation for your actions after such swift rebuke is clearly just that: performative and obviously written by some PR wonk.

You’re not sorry for what you did or said, you’re just sorry that you faced consequences for it.

“It was just a prank, bro! Like get over it.”

Gorram_Reavers,

It’s worse than that. He’s essentially saying that he successfully silenced Disney and they should just get over it. Total fascist rhetoric but completely on brand for that worthless fuckstain

rouxdoo, to moviesandtv in Am I missing something?
@rouxdoo@kbin.social avatar

@_Rho_ The article is a puff-piece intended to promote the movie, not anyone's actual hot take. The actors might have stopped participating in promotion due to the strike but the publicists on the studio payroll will keep finding ways of shilling.

    I have a theory 80s kids that turned producers later on are replaying out some 80s nostalgia out the wazoo. The most egregious examples imo being two! Two giant Pac-Mans being used independently, one in that Adam Sandler movie and the other in GotG Vol 2.

    Bonehead,

    Sometimes it's worth it. I actually quite enjoyed Cobra Kai, and watching Johnny change from the bad guy into the hero and watching Daniel struggle to not become the bad guy. If they can springboard a movie off of that setup, it could be good.

    originalucifer,
    @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

    it could be interesting in that the grown 'karate' kid befriends a chinese kung fu artist and theres all kinds of nuance learned between the japanese artform he knows and this new, foreign form, artist and its history.

    but it wont be.

    SinningStromgald,

    Agreed. Not interested.

    scytale, to movies in ‘It Follows’ Sequel ‘They Follow’ With Maika Monroe Launches At AFM Via NEON

    The original film works as a self contained story. I think a sequel will ruin the mystery and lore.

    runswithjedi,

    Possibly, but it could still be a good movie. Maybe they’ll go full marine like Aliens and just have a different feel to it.

    fluke,
    @fluke@snake.substantialplumbing.repair avatar

    I can dig it

    scytale,

    Maybe. What makes the thing scary is how unstoppable and inevitable of a force it is, no matter what you do and no matter where you go. I’ll be disappointed if they somehow find a way to kill it in the sequel.

    aksdb,

    Until it happens to befall a depressed or suicidal person who just goes “fuck it” and let’s it catch up. What then? The curse cannot be passed on so it’s essentially just over forever, right?

    Toribor,
    @Toribor@corndog.social avatar

    Understanding it or figuring out where it came from would be even worse than killing it. The characters knowing almost nothing except what they observe directly is what makes it so terrifying.

    canthidium,
    @canthidium@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, explaining the mystery of it, I think, would ruin it. The mystery is part of what makes it work.

    DrMango,

    It also functioned well as a metaphor for growing up/loss of innocence. I’m not sure how well it will go trying to explore that theme further using the same metaphor.

    yeti,

    They didn’t even get through an entire movie without ruining that mystique. It wasn’t very “unstoppable and inevitable” when it was just standing on the roof of a house, or when it just grabbed that girl by the hair but failed to do any damage.

    FrigidAphelion,

    This is almost always the case with sequels and IS always the case with reboots and remakes. Nobody can come up with original material anymore apparently.
