Polls show the judicial reform stint cost him the (already fragile) majority he had

Some additions to American Gods worked well but were quickly abandoned. Easter was supposed to be a big character but Chenoweth left after the first season.

Worth noting that Community notoriously had a much more demanding and late-hour shoots than even normal tv shows which are already demanding. Chevy Chase was in his 60s, and unused to such an environment. I get him wanting to go home "early".

Like, every 3-4 episodes the show had a completely different premise.
I love the season 2 episode where >!they examine the season 1 premise from 800 diffrrent angles in a montage and then completely drop it forever!<

Man how did they manage to have a bunch of great actors in that trainwreck of a movie.

But these movies can and have tarnished the legacy of real life people. You can't just say "it's just a movie".

So you assume an historical person you never met has autism becsuse for some reason he reminds you of your father in law wglhich you think may be on the spectrum?
You need to get out more.

And it could've been great if they just invented a character instead of using the name of a real life asshole.
PT Barnum was a horrible man.

Another one: Saving Mr. Banks.
P.L. Travers, the Mary Poppins author, was cheated out of creative authority on the movue and hated how it had nothing to do with her books.
The movie about her depicts her as a sad old bitter woman that needed Walt Disney magic in her life. That movie was a low blow by disney.
It also depicts her as living alone despite the fact she lived with a female partner, which is probably why they cut it.

Everything:
- Turing wasn't autistic, nor was he insufferable. He was reportedly very well liked among his peers.
- The film majorly downplayed Turing being gay and his gay relationships
- All the drama in the enigma team never happened
- The thing with the not reporting the ship is not a call researchers are in position to make in the first place
- The movie focused a lot on Keira Knightley's character despite the real person not being that close to Turing
- The "breakthroughs" in research shown in the film of looking for patterns in coded messages is the very basis of code cracking, they dumbed it down because they thought audiences were too dumb for the actual breakthroughs.
- They downplayed the horrors he suffered through the end of his life

The movie is awesome, but is also very far from reality and in many ways tarnished Mercury's character and legacy for the sake of dramatization. Two things can be true at the same time.

There is no record of him being autistic, and many records of him being very social, which is uncommon for autistic people.
So there is no reason to assume he was autistic, let alone depict him as such in a movie.

Yeah, I mean, why of all african history would you choose to depict the most prominent slaver nation?
There's a good chance that for many of the actors in the film, their ancestors were enslaved and sold to slavery by the Dahomey. They were the villains.

No he wasn't by any known source. He was reported to be very social and charismatic and made the presentations for the research group.
Can't say for the rest of the team however.

In general, I hate when movies depict all the terrible events in a person's life happening at the same time. Real life is not neat like that, especially when the character is based on a real person.

A reform to aspects of the Israeli judiciary is still considered necessary by many as the system is somewhat unbalanced. BUT, this "reform", that is practically a coup, was not spoken about by anyone.
