Rebooting something that failed makes more sense than rebooting something that was already perfect.

Blue steel!

While an incident where Majors allegedly abused Jabbari while they were riding in a car together was the impetus for the actor’s trial in the first place, those initial charges were brought by the state of New York rather than Jabbari herself.

...despite largely terrible reviews.

This heralds the golden age for people with a fetish for Chris Pratt eating spinach.

Don’t forget all the 1960s sitcoms! I’m solidly GenX, but I can describe most of the episodes of Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, and Gilligan’s Island to this day due to repeated exposure.

How long until the stupid horror public-domain version?

How many times are they going to remake Popeye before I finally get my Mary Worth movie?

At least you found a different photo without him making that pouty face.

Broadcast TV stations needed weekday afternoon programming, and back then it was whatever cartoon they could pick up on the cheap (Or “Our Gang” or Three Stooges shorts, another thing that has faded into obscurity).

That dumb little coffee mug that reminds him to be thankful for what he has is really getting a goddamn workout.

Do kids even know who Popeye is? I feel like the character was a 1930s relic that somehow barely survived into the ‘80s, and only because of the movie and a video game that was a rip-of of Pac-Man.

Anya Taylor-Joy as Olive Oyl.  Willem Dafoe as the Sea Hag.

Thanks for saying this. All the commentary for the movies seem to skip over the comic itself and O’Barr (not unlike comic adapted discourse in general, really), and yknow, the comics are less known, but this one, on this topic, it feels extra deficient that the original creation and it’s reasons for being aren’t…

Ahahaha! I used to attempt to wordbuild embarrassing “epic” Star Wars knock offs like this when I was 12. I wish netflix existed in 1997, cuz I could’ve pitched this movie back in seventh grade, and it would’ve been just as good as Rebel Moon. (BTW my epic IP was called "Omega Odyssey" xD)

I understand where Proyas is coming from, but if anybody is going to play gatekeeper it should be James O'Barr. He created the comic as a means of dealing with his fiance getting killed by a drunk driver, then watched the narrative of the character get permanently associated with the death of someone else instead. 

You can make a movie where the contemporary US is embroiled in a partisan civil war. Or you can make a movie divorced from politics. Pick one.

He who controls the color palette controls the universe...

M-O-O-N that spells Grimdark Star Wars!
