It’s a joke. There will be a nice little anime con in the middle of the Nevada Desert in front of a fence, and reporters will point microphones at real life internet trolls, who will spout memes that the reporters will take as serious opinion because they are morons, and then at 7:00 PM or so, a cop car will pull up…

It’s not art’s job to change the world. Art can be helpful though in reflecting the current world through a lens that focuses on ideas that aren’t necessarily obvious outside the confines of a TV or stage, or in revealing truths about ourselves that might only otherwise ring true after months of therapy.

They must have one creator, surely, in the entire American industry that could do equivalent work to something I did 25 years ago.

...yes. They do. He has answers. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was him exploring the idea that all ideas exist in a sort of morphogenetic space together, and that if there were creatures living in that space, they would probably be fictional characters. Honing in on Victorian adventure literature as having some of…

Which really proves his point. He was assigned to do something with the Charleston characters, and realized they wouldn’t fit into the story he wanted to tell, so he invented his own, using broad swipes. That’s what creativity is. It’s like saying Da Vinci wasn’t creative because he took his idea for a helicopter from…

Money isn’t infinite, even in Hollywood. Whenever I watch a giant shitty movie, I wonder how many awesome smaller movies could have been made instead if the studio had had the cojones to take some creative risks now and then.

Production on The Hobbit films was so fucky that the studio actually considered yanking the movie out of New Zealand.

That would be incredibly cool and not in the least bit scary.

Apparently Hela In-And-Out (Burger). There’s also a Grimos (Grimace/Thanos) and Iron Taco.

I’m thinking some of these have such similar premises, they could be merged.

COOOOORRRN!

Maybe Greta Gerwig will make a movie in which Noah Baumbach is delightfully awkward, and then gets divorced, bringing the story full circle and completing the prophecy. Adam Driver will be forced to do Star Wars movies for the rest of his natural life.

They could figure out a way to make them longer-lasting, able to absorb more updates without slowing down, and cheaper.

Actual new lyrics leaked from movie:

What made it for me was the animated sequences. The directors made it so gonzo that the only way to amp up the gonzo-ness at key points was to leave reality behind completely.

Yes, yes, yes, but WHICH x-wings? Nu-Wars or OG?

OY. When are people going to get that NONE of this was Sony’s idea?

From your Star Wars analogy, I am hearing we should blow up Amazon headquarters, wait for them to rebuild, then blow it up again.

That’s... an abusive relationship.

Imagine you have a roommate. You have an agreement that if either of you has a date, the other one will vacate the apartment that evening. You had a date tonight, but they didn’t want to come in. You walk in to find your roommate on the sofa in his underwear eating mayonnaise with a spoon.
