All TV sho s are better binged. Weekly viewing is barbaric savagery that is best left on the trash heap of history. :p

It's a double irony, because the (now discontinued) "Disney Vault" was all about protecting theatrical re-release of Disney movies from the threat of home video.

Which wa s'more the Polygon writer editorialiazong than Perkins, from my read.

There are over 50 genes that control for height, and on average any combination will lead to an average height. Which also means that, random card deck style any given person can get just the right combo to jest out of their immediate points of family comparison, and the children of tall and...

Just found these tidbits in the Cosmere Fandom, interesting bits from Sanderson about earlier drafts of Mistborn he had worked on for film. It seems he is willing and eager to make totally radical changes to the novel for a visual medium...
