Miller is a messy toxic disaster, which makes him perfect for someone like Zaslav, who made his career churning out endless variations of “My 90 Day 600 Pound Kitchen Nightmare Island” “reality” shit for the mouthbreathing demographic.

Maybe you should make that movie so you can explain how it took almost 20 years for South Park to “directly” help cause Trumpism.

He killed Gawker all those years ago, and I shall never forgive him. How dare he deny us the hot goss! He is just a bossy bottom worth billions, so I find it ironic that he uses conservatives/conservatism as a vessel for his ire, knowing full well that they hate the gays outwardly and openly as they take his cash.

Apparently, The Flash film is very good and has tested well.

Ignoring the fact of how many thousands of people the films acted as a gateway to Tolkien’s work. The vast majority of whom would likely never come to his written work without the nudge of the films. Not that I don’t agree with them on many levels; but that is a 2 sided sword (Like canonically the elves generally used…

While my heart goes out to Heche, I really feel for the person who has lost their home as a result of this. All the focus is on the celebrity, as usual, but this has evidently been catastrophic for the homeowner.

For some reason, sex and nudity is more taboo and scary than gutting people or blowing them into chunks of flesh.

Gotta love how Batgirl was canned to “protect the DC brand” when Ezra Miller has done more damage, especially to the Flash, than the Batgirl movie would ever do.

Zaslav played a big role in turning the Discovery Channel and TLC from educational channels into trashy networks that air mostly cheap exploitative shows, pseudoscience BS, and nutjobs peddling conspiracies about aliens and doomsday prophecies. So I would question his definition of “quality.”

It’s important to remember this entire thing is basically AT&T’s fault for screwing up Warner. So, fuck you AT&T.

The most important thing I learned from this earnings call is that HBO Max is for men and Discovery+ is for women.

If Flash is amazing and the merged Discovery+ and HBO Max app is stuffed full of good content (and isn’t hamstrung with a bad UI like HBO Max had for longer than it should have), everyone will forget about this week.

The odds of those two things happening, though, is pretty slim, especially since it sounds like no…

Yet somehow, the studio cancels Batgirl and leaves the project starring this train wreck that they obviously can’t promote at this point, on the schedule.

“....spinal chords....”?  FFS....

Right? How bad must something be for even WB to be like “No, this will do irreversible damage to our reputation and brand.”

Wrong. The modern correct approach is to bring in a bright young talent to play Laura, then have her discover some MacGuffin that opens a tear in the multiverse so that Jolie and Vikander can both make cameos. Bonus geek points if Minnie Driver and Hayley Atwell also cameo. The video game actresses are never…

Yeah I think they need to have a more National Treasure vibe. The Angelina Jolie ones were so stupid and not in a fun way and the Alicia Vikander one was too serious in my opinion.

Or...or, ok- hear me out - what we do is instead try to put in constant gameplay beats that only have value to the consumer if they’re interactive and in control of them into the non-interactive medium of cinema. Eh? Eh? Works for every other video game movie!

Peter Jackson’s main influences are B-movies, Carpenter’s/Cronenberg’s horror or Verhoeven’s focus on the blood and dirt. And it shows in LOTR, the movies are a direct continuation of Jackson’s previous works, with a remarkable flair for the epic and the sensational.

That’s too bad. Her movie wasn’t great but Vikander was really great in the role. I was looking forward to seeing her in the role again.
