Miranda published the script. The music is available on iTunes. And it’s a PLAY. All you need are a dozen-odd people more dedicated to putting on a show than to... not putting on a show.

Wear something disposable and tough, that won’t melt near fire. Good running shoes or sturdy boots, googles, and a gas mask.

Doctor Orpheus only exists because Hammer is self-described as “the biggest Doctor Strange fan” ever. I think he said he wanted to direct the movie at a SDCC years before that seemed like a possibility.

Eh. It’s as close as they’re gonna get. It looks like a terrible movie, but I appreciate the characters’ sentiment that the life of a fake tyrannosaur is still worth saving.

This is (probably) (unfortunately) the future of movies. Why settle for an actor who only looks kind of like the character when you can digitally manipulate them to look exactly like the character, down to the artist’s individualistic style quirks, be they giant eyes, disappearing feet, or a nose that’s just a…

But they’d never actually get to meet. Serkis is king of mo-cap and green screen and Jones works best in a funky rubber suit on set.

Well technically, we can also always make more humans, so...

What I meant was the “superhero team-up” is not the sort of story these characters work best in. They work best when the evils they’re up against are representations of the mundane evils of humanity, which can’t be punched, treed, or hell-fired into submission.

...while ignoring the fact Marvel handed over the reigns to their best movies over to the guys from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Arrested Development, Community, and Flight of the Conchords, respectively.

Here’s an idea: fuck the leadership. Wave your available franchises up in the air like Mets tickets and hand them off to writers and directors as they come.

This concept never really sat right with me. Swamp Thing and Etrigan, etc are monsters, not heroes. They don’t team up for the greater good. They form uneasy alliances based usually on bribery and blackmail. And contrary to usual superhero form, they usually don’t solve problems with giant fights and explosions.

The next time you see a name actor or actress in a movie that’s a piece of crap, or directed by Roman Polanski or something...

R.I.P. Shame

I can see it now.

There’s a theory that conservatives are generally also more afraid of germs.

I’m not sure why a bunch of executives weren’t fired as soon as numbers starting rolling in. Their blueprint looked almost exactly like Marvel’s only they wanted to start building the top of their tower before the foundation was set.

Does he actually go into space though, or is he on that planet the whole time?

That makes the goverment and system he’s working under evil, not him personally. He shoulders some responsibility, but that’s way different from being the kind of insufferably selfish asshole that this article is defining as “worst.”

Character assassination is par for the course if you live in in a Big 2 universe. Either you’ll drop years of do-gooding for a chance at mass-murder, or you’ll hover around villainy until you reform, and spend the rest of your career yelling “Psyche!” and jumping back and forth over the line.
