Shogun is pretty darn good. Agreed about how it could perhaps be a bit more "snappy" in pacing and also a bit more of the common person's view to offer a break from the upper class niceties.

- Shogun probably could have gotten the job done in fewer episodes (there's only so long I can listen to soft conversations in dark rooms about alliances/political manuevering) but I've mostly liked it. Anna Sawai MVP.

- I think it was Matt Zoller Seitz who pointed out that the Paramount Decrees officially ended with the Disney/Tarantino scuffle. When they could demand screens, showtimes, and the length of the theatrical run without impunity, it was over.

- AI sucks shit, and the AI posters for Civil War was such an unforced error. It's the number one movie in America! The conversation about it has been percolating for a month! You've achieved market saturation!
