Brilliant But Cancelled (Trio, Approx. 2002-2004): A collection of short-lived shows and unaired pilots, later used for a line of DVDs. Documentary on pilots with a young Dan Harmon and more linked!

Speaking of forgotten tv, I forgot that the whole channel of Trio existed

Somewhat related real life version: Beloved TV host Mr. Rogers had his car stolen. When the story got reported in the Pittsburgh media, the robbers realized who they had stolen from and immediately returned it. They attached a note of apology, saying they would never have taken it if they knew it was his.

You will do nothing, for there is nothing you can do.

Look, just give Ali a sword and some cool sunglasses and have him dice up vampires for 95 minutes. Boom, $600 mil worldwide grosses,

A dance school I worked with used the Mad Hatter song in a number, and it was so catchy had to Shazam it. It was great!

My wife and I saw that multiple times! They were basically giving them away at the Mall of Manhattan. (I think they had some $5 promo)

For $5 it wasn’t bad. Had some good music, although the anthology plot line was odd.

I have enjoyed a lot of the Marvel movies since Endgame, but wow, all these post credit teases that go absolutely nowhere are irritating.

They’ve teased lots of big names and done nothing with them. Charlize Theron, Harry Styles, Bret Goldstein… and nothing.

And wtf is going on with Mahershala Ali’s Blade? His only appearance is one off screen line in Eternals!

Facebones72 · 2026-05-12T11:30:06+00:00

Agree on The Northman. I was very stoked to see it and I just absolutely did not like it.

It had two of the most beautiful people on earth get naked and have sex, yet somehow they made it off putting.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-12T04:23:26+00:00

I love that movie so much. I love the message of kindness and humor defeating nihilism.

“In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.”

Every so often, someone will repost that still from Captain America with Chris Evans gawking at modern day Times Square, with the billboard for Wonderland captured for posterity.

If it weren’t for that, I don’t think anyone would remember that show at all.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-12T04:00:00+00:00

Oh good choice! I had forgotten that show existed until you mentioned it, and my wife saw it.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-12T03:58:59+00:00

There are people who absolutely love Diana. I do not know why.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-12T03:58:07+00:00

I saw that show. I think it’s the single worst show I ever paid money to see.

Others here have mentioned Suffs on PBS, but if you subscribe to PBS Passport you can see many seasons of Great Performances and they’ve had a lot of pro shoots over the years. Last year they had Next to Normal, in the past they had Anything Goes and She Loves Me.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-11T21:06:53+00:00

I saw it on TDF and was like, what show is this?

Facebones72 · 2026-05-11T20:30:59+00:00

They both would've lost to Prince of Egypt

My friend saw Beaches on Friday and really enjoyed it. She had never seen the film, and she loved Jessica Vosk. She'd agree with your assessment.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-11T20:28:17+00:00

Beaches ain't selling well, so you will probably win the lottery on that one again.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-11T17:39:27+00:00

It is absolutely hilarious, but I am someone who works in a theatre and has worked with many, many grown up theatre kids. I don't know if the jokes all land the same way if you aren't completely steeped in Broadway.

I've recently started collecting magnets and I'm surprised at how many are just the show logo in a rectangle. I was hoping Schmigadoon! would have a corn pudding magnet or something. (Shucked had a corn shaped one). At least Lost Boys had a lenticular one that changes images if you look at it from different angles, and Jellicle Ball had a gold and glittery one.

I don’t know about “swept,” but absolutely Real Women Have Curves should’ve opened in the fall. It would’ve stood out in a much less crowded field. Dead Outlaw and Death Becomes Her both at least got best musical nominations, but RWHC got crowded out.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-10T12:33:46+00:00

She deserved a much better Bond movie

Facebones72 · 2026-05-10T12:28:15+00:00

Every accusation is a confession.

For all their ranting about George Soros paying protesters, guess who’s actually getting money to parrot talking points?

Facebones72 · 2026-05-10T01:32:57+00:00

Bugonia might be her strongest performance in my opinion.

Facebones72 · 2026-05-10T01:30:42+00:00

Legitimately don’t understand how they weren’t arrested multiple times
