She didn't need to tell him to do something after she rolled her eyes. The eye roll was the instruction.

I like that Rock has refused to take his call.

Really making him eat this one up all the way to the last bite because if Rock accepted it, he could’ve given him a shortcut to public redemption.

They both come across as spoiled children.

Terrible news for Star Trek fans. RIP Nichelle Nichols.

Saul is letting me down.

Ok episode but these last two aren’t on the level of the vast majority that preceded.

Because of the civic holiday I forgot that yesterday was in fact Monday and not Sunday. I'll have to catch up after my vacation.

Gotta think it's just terrible.

Unless they do a Snyderish forced release or something, it's apparently on the shelf and won't be seen.

Such an interesting decision to walk away from most likely easy recoupment at minimum for the sake of the brand. Respect, WB.

I'd guess it would give the Batwoman TV series a run for the money for 'crap-ness'.

“Batgirl” found itself on the bad end of that decision, apparently neither big enough to feel worthy of a major theatrical release nor small enough to make economic sense in an increasingly cutthroat streaming landscape. Spending the money to expand the scope of “Batgirl” for theaters — plus the $30 million to $50 million needed to market it domestically and the tens of millions more needed for a global rollout — could have nearly doubled spending on the film, and insiders say that was a non-starter at a company newly focused on belt-tightening and the bottom line. (Spokespeople for Warner Bros. and Warner Bros. Discovery declined to comment for this story.)

Releasing the movie on HBO Max would seem to be the most obvious solution. Instead, the company has shelved “Batgirl” — along with the “Scoob!” sequel — and several sources say it will almost certainly take a tax write-down on both films, seen internally as the most financially sound way to recoup the costs (at least, on an accountant’s ledger). It could justify that by chalking it up to a post-merger change of strategy.

Doing so, however, would mean that Warner Bros. cannot monetize either movie — no HBO Max debut, no sale to another studio.

Who the fuck wants all these superhero films.

Batgirl will live in some warehouse with Jerry Lewis' The day The Clown Cried.

I kind of look at it as eating your favourite meal. After a number of times, sure that would be great. But virtually every single day for ad infinitum?

There's too many of them. My hope is with the insane money Maverick made more adult big budget movies will be made. There's simply a very poor selection of films available. Worst I've ever seen.
