We talk about Main Character Syndrome, but no one ever wants to talk about how tough it is being the comic relief.
Do you have any idea how many banana peels I've slipped on? How many seltzer's I've sprayed on myself? How often the person I'm talking about IS right behind me?
The great irony is that Shiv would be super in love with the version of Tom that pops up to psychosexually bully Greg, but she has no idea that guy exists
Sherlock Holmes never actually wears a deerstalker hat in the text of the original canon, but he does dress as a lady with a parasol. What I propose is we finally stop being cowards and adjust the merchandise accordingly
Netflix should do big cross overs with their shows. That's really the last big advantage to regular network TV. Like, I want to see Lupin rob Emily in Paris.
The MCU anti-spoiler leak measures are sooooooo funny for a franchise based on established characters that follows clear story templates and tell you 5 years in advance which heroes are returning for sequels
With the US copyright of The Adventure of the Retired Colourman expired, it is now, at long last, free and legal to acknowledge that Dr. Watson was canonical hot. You can even call Sherlock Holmes’s friend and biographer a himbo, and the Doyle estate would be helpless to stop you
The Conan Doyle and Houdini friendship is so funny because Houdini is like “I do my escapes using logic, skill, and practice” and Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, is like “Oh buddy, those things aren’t real, I made them up to sell mystery novels. Obviously you’re doing magic.”
what are posts that aren’t load-bearing anywhere but your personal lexicon. like the ones that weren’t really popular but are so enshrined in your mind that you just assume they got hundreds of thousands of likes
Owen Wilson is such good casting in the Loki series because he just radiates being Some Guy. Like he's cool, but he's an extremely normal guy, and that makes a literal God running in circles trying to earn his approval so funny
I don't like when white men make fun of White Women partially because it just feels sexist but MOSTLY because they never cover the genuinely weird shit like the tiktok I just saw of a woman who thinks she and her boyfriend were past life lesbians in 1500s Ireland
Weird how the show was like "Isn't Dr. House a fascinating contradiction? He thinks most people suck, yet still believes everyone deserves medical care!" even though that's just the normal position of anyone over 30
When Sherlock Holmes entered the public domain we all wanted to know what would be the first adaptation to make Holmes/Watson canon and it turns out that the answer was "They will literally never be in a scene together again"
I will not rest until there is a Muppet Hound of the Baskervilles movie. Gonzo & Fozzie as Holmes & Watson, Kermit & Piggy as Henry & Beryl, Sweetums as the Hound
I get why everyone loves to share the "Grodd attacks Barack Obama" clip when they bring up Legends of Tomorrow, but I wish the "Entire team gets their ass kicked by a guitar haunted by Elvis' dead twin" clip got more love. It's a real stand out
Look we can sit here all day debating the pulpy blockbuster spirit of the original text, or we can just admit that no one has ever looked better than Rachel McAdams in these films
A while ago I said that every actor does something completely different with Dr. Watson. Just absolute chaos, no idea what you're going to get. But I think I cracked it, the universal Watson Energy:
The first main family member to catch Tom and Greg doing their weird two man comedy act (workplace harassment) thing being LOGAN is going to be so funny. No one's going to believe him. This will be what undoes his empire.
RETI ends with the line "You can file it in our archives, Watson. Some day the true story may be told." And today is the day! Watson has been a smokeshow the whole time
There won’t be enough Sherlock Holmes adaptations until we finally get to watch Holmes calls up his cousin and be like “Hey! How’s it been? I need you to buy my ex’s medical practice so he has to move back in with me….Yes, I faked my death for 3 years. This isn’t about that!”
All the college loan debates on here are in bad faith because it’s a bunch of old people yelling about what people should have done at 17. If your argument is “your brain should have been more developed as a child” there’s not really a point in humoring you
White male comics: "Ha ha, white women! they order Starbucks and 'ask to speak to the manager' Got 'em!"
Any woman who had a livejournal: [takes a drag of a cigarette and looks into the distance] "You are a child. You know nothing of what you speak. I was there for Snape Wives"
The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier is also no longer under copyright, so Holmes being a huge drama queen is also now fair game. (Pictured below: Holmes making a big deal about being alone while some poor guy tries to explain to him that someone’s been held hostage)
Love that season 2 starts with House getting chummy with a murderer and then jumps to relentlessly bullying a child with terminal cancer and a guy devoted to making medication more accessible
I believe that because Conan Doyle’s mystery stories are narrated by Dr. John H. Watson, Sherlock Holmes is actually a victim of the male gaze. In this essay I will…
CBS has handed a straight-to-series order to ‘Watson,’ from Craig Sweeny, Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment and CBS Studios. Morris Chestnut is set to play the title role and EP the drama inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mysteries
#TheIrregularsNetflix
really had a meeting where they said "we're going to be the first ever TV adaptation to make Holmes and Watson canon after 100+ years of waiting, but it's unrequited and Watson murdered Holmes' True Heterosexual Love"
The Terror and Yellowjackets are perfect companion shows because it’s like “who would fair better? A New Jersey girl’s soccer team or the British navy?” And Yellowjackets wins. But “who can be more bitchy and petty?” The Terror for sure
The MCU really knows their best chance of staying competitive is offering the slim possibility that at some point Steven Yeun and Jonathan Majors might wrestle
@mafiahairspy
Imagine having amazing source material already written, a huge budget, and your pick of British actors and just.... goofing it completely
INT. NBCUniversal OFFICE— 2005
Exec 1: Let’s relaunch the channel as just “USA”
Exec 2: Won’t that be confusing?
Exec 1: No, you idiot. No one is going to confuse USA the country with USA the channel. Not unless our basic cable channel declares war on England
“I’ve had many open discussions with friends from Palestine —ian background” bro how is he supposed to have an acting career if he doesn’t know how to do a self-tape?
Netflix PR team working extra hard to get us to watch Stranger Things.
We have not forgotten that Noah Schnapp mocked Arabs, calling Palestinian supporters terrorists and the infamous “Zionism is sexy” stickers
2 out of the 4 patients so far this season have stolen a kiss from their doctor. I personally feel they should have kept that rate going in increasingly elaborate ways throughout the show
@Srirachachau
Extra annoying because he’s the only franchise character I can think of that’s at a charity event EVERY movie (before it gets smoke-bombed)
Doyle solved actual crimes and seemed like an intelligent guy, but it is hilarious to me that he kinda sorta thought purely reasonable thinking is some made up bullshit to sell merchandise.
Every time my therapist mentions forgiveness I’m like “Okay, we can put that on the board but let’s get some other pitches. No bad ideas. We’re just spitballing. Did I hear ‘another tattoo’ in the back?”
I hate when weirdos on here get really aggressive defending something I love. 1. You’re making me look weird by association 2. No no no don’t you see that it being bad is part of it? That’s what I want
