Remember when Dr. Seuss just had children's books with a few cute animated tv adaptations and wasn't considered IP to exploit?

This is the closest I've come to wanting to convert to Catholicism, so Pope Leo must be doing something right.

Now, she could USE gravity to warp spacetime, which, given enough mass and density, could create quite unusual phenomena.

Ok, but from a strictly physics perspective, you can't defy gravity. It's the Law!

At this point, I think Jared Leto being in a trailer (in this case, Tron) is a red flag.

What would Netflix have to pay to get Catherine Zeta-Jones to be Morticia as a horror host?
Because that's the kind of programming I want my subscriber dollars going towards.

Chris Evans does his workday Brooklyn Cap persona, and we've seen this side of him so many times I just groan now. The accent shifts whether he's in Boston or New York, but it's the same deal.
Other than his looks, he doesn't have a lot going on to recommend him as a romantic interest.

I was excited to see Pedro in a comedy -- despite his success with monotone characters in Mandalorian and Last of Us, he's one of the most charismatic and charming actors out there. But here he's given no dialog more engaging than an accounting lecture. What a waste!

Also, Harry feels like he's being set up as someone to challenge Lucy's rather jaded views on relationships, but mostly he agrees with her. Their only major point of disagreement is her worth in the dating market.

What a wasted opportunity! After he leaves, why not see how the scene plays out with the first suitor? We could see his reaction to this rival. We could see how she tries to play it off with him (which would tell us a lot about the nature of her relationship with this ex.) Instead it just cuts away.

Very minor spoiler:
I knew we were in trouble when she had her meet (I don't think it qualifies as a meet cute) with one character and then her ex bf interrups them. They hug and agree to talk after the event, and the film just...cuts away.

It really does very little with three attractive, charismatic leads. They're given so little character that it's hard to care about their choices and reasons for those choices. It's all so boring.

It's very much a rom com in structure, but I can't remember anything that made me laugh. It's one of those rom-coms that's condescending to rom-coms, telling you how much smarter than a rom-com it is without successful executing any of the genre's elements.

Hi everyone
I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests
I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

I wonder if that's why it went on forever with a million casts without really increasing or decreasing in quality or why cast such a short shadow on both TV and culture.

What's kind of interesting is how few unique elements ER had. You could, in my mind, take any unaired ER script, change the names, and it wouldn't be an infringement.
ER had great characters and individual episodes, but it was at its core a generic medical drama.

While I admit that The Pitt has an ER vibe, I don't think you can claim a copyright/IP infringement. They're both medical dramas about ER units starring Noah Wiley, and to me that's too generic.
