I would absolutely disagree with that. Covenant has some gorgeous cinematography and impeccable production design.

TIL. Interesting bit of trivia.

Tepid take: They each have extremely different problems and neither is anywhere close to as good as the original or Aliens, but have a similar mixed bag of good and bad as 3 and Resurrection.

Yeah, I would say Mummy, Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, Mummy: Dragon Emperor would be my order. I think it's giving Returns spectacularly short shrift to put it at the bottom of that list.

I think you mean Vosloo (Imotep). Fehr plays the Magi - whose name I somehow don't know, despite having watched these movies over ten times apiece.

The red/yellow sun thing is so spectacularly nonsensical it defies comprehension, but I'm glad there's been no efforts to change or retcon it.

And seeing a still frame like that really underscores how much has been lost from the original Giger design.

If you keep drinking plastic bottle vodka before noon, it's not going to be slow.

No, I understand. But, for the twelve seconds when they were the only two posts, it was a perfect moment.

The only two comments on my screen are you and @tintinquarantino:disqus saying literally the opposite thing from one another. It's kind of perfect. I wish it could stay that way.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you can count on Universal to screw up. Despite being literally able to walk through their competition, they have no idea how to do it as well as Disney does. A neat trailer is a long way away from a great park experience.

Expanse is the easy choice.

And it's not even time for a our daily gag-inducing Cosby trial update! Unless that got posted while I was reading this.

Well, that's only sort of true. Paramount wanted Tom Cruise, or someone younger, but Favreau has been pretty clear in saying that he always wanted RDJ for the role and petitioned (successfully, obviously) very hard to make that happen. Cruise's name was never attached, he was never offered the job, and, had he been…

In which we learned that Tom Cruise has been siphoning Val Kilmer's life essence to maintain his uncannily youthful appearance.

Glover is very talented, but he sometimes comes off as something of an insufferable ass. Maybe those two things are just inextricably linked.

With age comes a tremendous lack of fucks to give.

For the record, I deeply resent my lighthearted idea being in any way connected to a chain of events leading to that result.

Isn't there already a "talking GoT" show? And what does that have to do with getting bored about how self-serious the show is?

Can we have a whole episode of all of the people from this show whose characters are now dead sitting around watching and mocking the proceedings?
