I thought the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory was cheesy and unremarkable when I was a kid, perhaps because I read the book first and was bothered by the very necessary changes to the movie required of 1970's special effects.

Because the animators for the Transformers Movie had the touch.  They had the powerrrrrrrrr!

I think if they wanted to release a new version of the film with credits that read “The Wachowskis” rather than “The Wachowski Brothers” they probably could, but I also don’t know if they’ll bother. They know what they were called in the 90s, I don’t think it’s the equivalent of the movie deadnaming them or anything.

Yeah, this has been a known thing for a while. Hell, just look at the strife over Neo’s name. Agent Smith always calls him one very specific thing, “Mr. Anderson”, to the point where Neo’s first name is almost entirely eschewed, and Neo’s moment of victory in their fight came with him proudly, defiantly saying “My…

So it’s gonna be the turtles smoking weed and trying to have sex?

But Poltergeist was years before he married. He did have a girlfriend at the time. Hooper, meanwhile, was a divorced/separated single father. His suspicion of the family is in every one of his films and there is a certain aura of contempt beneath everything here, even the most heartwarming moments.

I mean no shit. It was the whole reason the end of Toy Story 3 was so terrifying.

Now show the one where she chops her arm off!

Dark Siders, dat powah

I think the problem is that Vader’s reasons for turning have kind of shifted over time. In New Hope he’s just a faceless brute, concerned only with crushing the universe into line with the Empire’s vision for the future. The next 2 films show him to be surprisingly open in his resentment of the Emperor, even as he…

I’m going to take a wild guess here and say that I can’t be the only person that’s watched a fair amount of Ren & Stimpy or John Kricfalusi’s other creations and find it not surprising at all that he engages in horrible behavior.

The overwhelming majority of “disruption” strategies are just marketing scams. If something works, leave it alone. There are plenty of really broken things these silicon valley “geniuses” could be trying to fix. The most glaring being the predatory monopolies of the likes of amazon, facebook and apple, et al.

I was already irrationally angry, fully on principle, with a person I have never heard of and then came this; “we’re proud to have optimized the chocolate chip eating experience” and now I’m willing to do jail time in advance so I’m given the opportunity to deliver an unannounced kick to this guy’s groin with a steel-t…

“Bean-to-bar? “Bean-to-bar???

Ok, so now can we stop pretending just because someone is a doctor they are automatically an authority on everything? You see this shit all the time in conspiracy groups - “Well we can trust that this guy actually saw an alien because he’s a doctor!” 

It’s kind of laughable that Transformers has any kind of continuity that makes sense at this point.

But that is what America was founded on, screwing over others.

There is no movie, only t-shirt

I’m still waiting for the Snyder cut, where Superman rips off Zod’s head and plays with it, ala “Tropic Thunder”.
