The IM end-credits scene was also hastily filmed:

Hot take: I don’t think Scorsese ever /intentionally/ glamorizes crime in his films. His stories are always about people who get swept into the life (or are born into it) and no matter what success they enjoy, they eventually lose everything that really matters. The problem may be that he communicates the allure of…

This. Marvel didn’t start out with a projected mega-franchise. They made some good movies and figured out what those had in common (and what worked) as they went along.

I like to think of myself as a movie guy but this is the first time I’ve even heard of Dracula: Untold, nine years after it came out.

Again, the show was in the can and Majors’ issues were public well before the strikes happened.

Freeway.

My take is that his mind is always moving too fast for his voice to keep up, perhaps due to the unnatural and paradoxical nature of the information he’s been exposed to.

It’s not unheard of for Disney to almost completely re-shoot projects that it finds problematic. I don’t think they’ve ever pulled a full “swap out the scandalous actor” a la Army of the Dead or All the Money In the World though.

Funny thing about Raymond Carver. That famous brevity came from his editor. His maunscripts were often quite verbose.

They actually do. Theatres only get a percentage of the box office (in the case of tentpole releases, a VERY small percentage), and keep the lights on with concessions.

Nobody’s talking about how the entire point of most of these shows was to watch them stoned?

What we’d like, better than additional ticket sales, would be an intermission and the accompanying additional concessions sales.

When I was a lad, TV shows played ONCE EVER and you had to be there on time. Maybe if you were lucky they got re-run sometime over the summer. And then all you could do was remember them and we LIKED it that way!

I feel like that press conference was pretty much the death of the show.

“We heard you like aerial bombardments so we put aerial bombardments on your aerial bombardments.”

I bring a card game. More low-profile.

To be fair, Mon Mothma was recast, and very successfully.

At least we got a Phineas & Ferb reference out of this.

But how many people (or sentient beings anywhere) outside the Avengers’ circle know what the Snap was, or even know who Thanos was? Forgive me if there’s an actual canon answer to this.

DOCTOR POOLE!
