Do we need this? Swayze is what makes the original magic (there are other highlights, but it’s mostly him). When a movie is so dependent on a single star’s charisma to be entertaining I just don’t see remaking it, be it Swayze’s “Roadhouse” or Gyllenhaal’s “Nightcrawler.” It’s too bad they fucked up the “Point Break”…

Let’s not and say we did. Unless they bring back Sam Elliot. I’ll watch him in anything.

“you have to recognize that the demographic for Disney+ is basically kids, parents/grandparents and Marvel/StarWars dorks.”

So it took them 2 years from launch to have a quarter that didn’t meet expectations, but still probably outpaced Peacock, Paramount+, Apple+, and HBOmax+?

The scorpi-ger doesn’t need to hide in your shoe! It rolls up to your house, knocks on your door with its claws of death and may choose to conserve its venom and simply beat you to death. (That’s a real thing. Scorpions actually do that.)

Naw, it’s rich people’s math. She leveraged a million dollars. Poor people don’t have a million dollars.

LOL. Have you ever tied being poor and getting money from the government? Good luck with that.

“My secret plan: we trick the gasses into wasting their time on the already dead!”

She does go on to explain that if she sells the property in the future for the same price, she’ll owe taxes on that $3 million again. But until that day, she’s basically getting an interest-free loan from the government.

To make things sound a lot worse, some members of the crew were reportedly cross-breeding tigers and scorpions, hoping to make some kind of scorpi-ger, or tig-pion which would be fast, angry, hungry, venomous and angry.

As someone who owned an E24 because he couldn’t afford the 3.0CSi of his dreams, I can tell you that the idea of fixing interior parts and controls with “little issue or money” is wishful thinking. But good sources can reduce the financial damage:

Michael Jackson as a Civil War reenactor?

the sudden death of Chadwick Boseman last year—combined with the fandom’s love for her character, Shuri—has elevated Wright’s position in the franchise

Also, there is tons of bike/pedestrian specific infrastructure in Holland that just doesnt exist in this country. Im old enough to have spent time in Holland in the 70s/80s and a lot of ppl biked or skated (if it was winter) there infrastructure wasnt there. The last time i was there 6+ years ago the infrastructure…

I understand your point. An LS would be sweet. Better yet: did you see the article about the Ford electric crate engine from yesterday? I now have plans.

NP - All Aboard !!!

I don’t buy this story for a second, but even if I did, “My client isn’t negligent, she just left real guns unattended for two hours and didn’t check them before they were used” may not be slam dunk defence the lawyers think.

In the literal sense, sure; there’s no way members of the public could have been asking for a standalone movie focusing on a character they didn’t know existed. It doesn’t change the fact that “who was asking for this” is code for a judgmental “I don’t find this appealing and I think anyone who does is a fool.”

“Who asked for this?” is never a valid critique. Art doesn’t need to be necessary or important, and there’s no shortage of good stuff that was initially regarded with scepticism or indifference (including genre-leaping spinoffs).
