I doubt it. What you need to realize about the "Hollywood elites" is that often they are elite because people like their work and are willing to pay to see them. It's one of the reasons that even though animated features could cast completely unknown voice actors for cheap, they cast major Hollywood movie stars because they bring attention and prestige to the project.
Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016). Technically a prequel that has only the loosest of connections to 2014's Ouija and it is about a thousand times better than that film.
I don't think so. I think the whole idea behind this season (whether they'd admit it or not) was to try to make up for the unsatisfying final season of the original series. I think in killing Dexter, Harrison was in a sense killing that part of him that had these dark urges and with the death of Logan he gained realization that Dexter's system and code were flawed and would only lead to more tragedy.
That said, this did such big numbers for Showtime it wouldn't be hard to picture them trying to keep drinking from the well if possible.
100% this.
Honestly they're counting on viewers being able to connect the dots. I'm guessing well over 99% were able to.
During the beating Terry Silver says to Ray: "I'll make you Cobra Kai, but you gotta do something for me.." and then it cuts to Ray identifying Kreese as his attacker. It's pretty straightforward.

I loved the finale of Breaking Bad and I loved that we got a separate finale for Jesse's character and love that we'll get a finale for the Saul character (I'm assuming the BCS finale will end with a resolution to his post-Breaking Bad life).
The Shield has one of my favorite finales of all time. A lot of it felt like a gut punch but to me it ended on the right note.
I hear ya. The exchange would've been funnier in live conversation lol. Stuff in text is written with an intended flow and tone of voice but may be read in a completely different flow and tone of voice and doesn't always translate.
It was a joke based on your comment that no one needs to own music because live music is always better. Since I clearly wouldn't be able to get a band to play live while I'm on a treadmill, owning music is clearly in my best interest (and copyright is in the band's best interest since I pay to download their songs).
Thanks, I thought it was a pretty self explanatory joke comment but apparently not lol
I'd have a hard time convincing my favorite bands to come to the gym and play while I'm on the treadmill though...
Statistically I don't know that it was a significant increase over previous eras. Detailed statistics started to be gathered in the 70s and with the dawn of cable TV, national exposure to individual cases got much more attention (John Walsh's son Adam in particular was a HUGE story back then) and once the hysteria set in there was no turning back.
Well this thread is about the best time to be a child....as a child in the 80s I didn't concern myself with men in short shorts or shoulder pads and big hair on girls. I concerned myself with awesome action figures and playsets (I didn't even mention Star Wars in my original post) and the kick-ass cartoon shows of the era.
Gotta say the 80s were pretty dynamite. We had awesome toys for He-Man, Transformers, GI-Joe and awesome after school cartoons based on them as well. We also seemingly were the last generation that had significant freedom when it came to being able to go places on our own. It was common for me and my friends to walk to school or downtown or just roam the neighborhood without an adult watching our every move (when I was 5 my friend and I were walking to Kindergarten by ourselves which would never happen now). Once stranger danger kicked in this seemed to be a thing of the past.
Trying to get through this on Tubi now and the 2.5 hour runtime really is making it feel insurmountable. No idea what possessed them to make it this long. This was never going to be a good movie but it could've been watchable had they kept it to 90 minutes. Especially with the nostalgia factor of having the original star in it.
Same...the movie was fun enough so I just went with it but the method of getting them all on that subway car...oof!
<blockquote>So from those two details, you can presume that this was a staged sequence to bring them all together to play.</blockquote>
That's the way I saw it too but that really made no sense though. The timing of the junkie leading them to where the others were on the train car would have to be impeccable and would hinge on both Zoey and Ben giving chase that entire distance. If either drops out or really even trips the jig is up. Also since the others were all already on the train, had Zoey and Ben woken up 10 minutes earlier or later it also wouldn't have worked.
Also the subway station was busy enough that they were bumping people as the chase went through the crowd...how was it that none of the non-player patrons got on that train car as well? Having ridden the subway for years, non-crowded cars are very appealing.
I'll always be fond of Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Mike Myers who were there when I was 13 and as I got older the era of Sandler, Farley, Rock, Spade and Schneider started and was a big fan of all of them as well. The humor of that later group seemed really geared toward immature viewers so it was perfect for me.
I know watch I Think You Should Leave on Netflix and my mind is blown that SNL let Tim Robinson slip through their fingers. I connect with his brand of humor perhaps more than any other cast member past or present.
