      But we’re all out of ideas, and we hate paying creative people a living wage.

      give me an xfiles lower decks instead

      Hmm, does that work when Mulder and Scully were already like the underdogs of the FBI?

      Or would it be like X-Files cleanup crew?

          Kind of true, and kind of a similar type of humor, though I think a true “Lower Decks” spirit would have to feature regular low-level office workers as the main characters, rather than the director/manager types.

              You are probably right, it’s so long ago that I watched X files, just remember Cancer Man and the scary silent Schwarzenegger looking dude.

              Tried rewatching some years ago but, it feels like Voyager where it’s best to lookup the good episodes before you start.

      Asking “Who?” while using a device connected to the sum of all information publicly available is lazy. I’m not mad at you for being lazy but you seem so committed to being lazy that I can only think it is intentional and therefore worth calling you out. I’m lazy too, most of the time. Game recognize game.

      If you had searched Ryan Coogler, you’d have found out his most recent film was an original film (not a remake) that he wrote, directed, and produced. It had very good reviews and outperformed box office expectations. Did you see it? If not, I recommend it. It is called Sinners.

      Danielle Deadwyler waa someone I had to look up, but I recognized her. Her last film was The Woman in the Yard, which was ambitious but not really my thing. I guess it was that way for a bunch of viewers. That said, her screen presence was better than most. I would like to see what she can do paired with a talent like Coogler, in X-Files or any other project.

          I think it might be mine too. Calling out Coogler for remakes without considering this film seems like a troll or willful ignorance.

            I really enjoyed Weapons as well. I have high hopes that Sinners will pioneer a flood of original horror/suspense films coming up.

            I really didn’t see this as a personal attack. I was criticizing the action (or in this case the inaction). I wasn’t trying to be personally insulting. I even admitted to being lazy myself. Not sure how much more I could soften the blow.

            Oh well.

              I really just meant the comment didn’t seem stupid. I should have put quotes around personal attack.
