I didn't know anything about the video game (other than it exists), but I binge watched the show and liked it.

Kyle Rayner and Damian Wayne are my two least favorite comic book characters ever. Aside from the DEI character replacements (which cost Marvel millions and helped cripple the comic industry), I think the two worst recent comic book trends of the last 10-15 years are (1) the proliferation of...

Except nobody cared when they made Nick Fury black. Or Heimdall (which is hilarious in light of Norse mythology). Or the Ancient One being a white woman (which is hilarious in light of the fact that Marvel was falling all over itself at that point to find an asian hero character - there was...

It's only ironic if you believe those who think Marvel should do it's best to stick to popular decades-old source material as closely as it can are all mindless drones who are reflexively against any liberal messaging appearing in any mass media (as if 99% of every piece of entertainment media...

The first decade of Marvel ... which, aside from the Guardians of the Galaxy, was basically a Stan Lee and Jack Kirby blue print of the greatest hits of Marvel Comics (sans the Fox/Sony properties). Was the first decade of Marvel popular with the public? Did it make enough money? Did it take...

This show is going to totally flop and everyone involved is going to pretend like they have no idea why nobody was interested (when South Park eloquently explained it to them a year ago).

I watched Confess Fletch on cable on-demand (I think it's because I get Paramount+ for free) over the weekend. It's a good little movie that Hollywood just doesn't make anymore. No big stars (Jon Hamm is really the only name in an ensemble cast), murder mystery, dialogue heavy, lowkey comedy...

When it was MGM Studios, I always thought a James Bond flume ride (kind of like Jurassic Park in Universal) would have been great. And if they ever update Rock N Roller Coaster, KISS is the obvious choice to replace Aerosmith.

Peak Disneyland? Probably opening night of Remember Dreams Come True fireworks during the 50th Anniversary celebration (2005).

That's how much Star Wars films have earned since 1977, not how much the Lucasfilm division is worth today. It's not even the net earnings, it's the gross. That's the equivalent of saying Sears is worth eleventy billion dollars right now because its paper catalog sold a ton of merchandise in 1936.

An asset is only worth what someone would be willing to pay for it. There is nobody on the planet who would pay $60+ billion for Star Wars right now.

We could do what we did in the Reedy Creek thread and just ban everyone who knows what they are talking about from posting here. Then there wouldn't be an disagreement.

Why? First of all you can't. Stereotypes are just recognized patterns in groups of people. They have always existed; they exist now; and they will always exist. They may change, but they will always exist in some form. But if even if you could eliminate them, why would we "need" to do so...

Just the opposite ... generally, when a woman in a film or tv show behaves like a traditional male character, it comes off as inauthentic to the detriment of the film. You believe Wanda wasn't showing a "feminine" side in WandaVision? She literally spent every episode emulating the...

It was great. But I didn't associate it with a Hallmark Christmas film at all. The animated parts were clearly a takeoff on the Rankin/Bass Christmas cartoons from the 1960s and 70s. And the live action portions on Earth reminded me of the film Elf. And obviously, the whole thing was...

Nerdy men are icky. She wanted a whole new non-nerdy men fanbase. So she hired a bunch of people that wanted the same thing and set out on a quest to destroy the things in Star Wars that nerdy men liked best. Priority #1 was wrecking Luke Skywalker's story.

That's not how I would have described it.

Black Widow didn't feel like a Lifetime movie. The Hawkeye TV show didn't feel like something you'd see on the Hallmark channel (despite being a Christmas show). WandaVision didn't either. It's not the genitals of the main characters that made The Marvels a bad film.

They understood what it was. They just hired people who hated what it was and wanted it changed (for the better good). And since those people were equal parts incompetent and delusional, what was produced turned off the original fans that made the original trilogy the mega-franchise that it...

What Lifetime movie features a petty decades-old disagreement between two family members based on a total misunderstanding ... that is only cleared up after the two are able to see things from the other's perspective ... leading to a full reconciliation at the conclusion? What Hallmark movie...
