Jeez, even when WB wants to hypothetically do a team-up movie with Green Lantern, it can't be with Green Arrow (because, I guess, today's Green Arrow is no longer a socially conscious superhero, but a Robin Hood who doesn't wear a proper shirt).

I was thinking more some kind of outer space character, a bit like the blue guy. But GI isn't a bad idea, either. I like Richard E. Grant in that role a lot, though.

Bob Iger killed "Twin Peaks". That kinda cancels out anything he may have done afterwards.

Seriously, though, Nathan Lane would be an easy fit for "Doctor Who".

I actually forgot about that one. "The Great Mouse Detective" is pretty cool, I'll admit.

The main shooting was, but again, I think the reshoots were Elstree.

It's true what they say. Disney ruins everything, even hypothetically.

Actually, wasn't Pinewood used for reshoots on AOTC and ROTS? There tends to be a lot of that built into the typical Star Wars shooting schedules…

Edgar Wright without Simon Pegg results in "Scott Pilgrim"— not too shabby. Simon Pegg without Edgar Wright results, without exception, in absolute shit.

Whoops. I actually feel kinda okay about Wright leaving Ant-Man now. Because Pegg is a douche.

Goddamnit. I was actually looking forward to this.

I would easily see that before a young Han Solo movie.

Yeah, but seriously. A big corporation doesn't want to pay their taxes, so they stage an invasion, and then eventually threaten to secede. They even have their own fucking senator mucking things up. In another fifty years, it might not be that weird to see someone who's literally "The Senator from Comcast". At which

From that list, the only one you can really say that the Prequels lack are "pretty good performances", and even then, they're no worse than plenty of other action/adventure fare (Hayden's better than the empty leads in "John Carter", "Speed Racer" and "Avatar" at least— not saying much, but he is). Everything else,

Well, Gollum's name is a dead ringer for "Golem"…

At least they're "enhanced" less than pretty much everything in LOTR. Granted, the worst offenders in those movies were in live action shots rather than models etc, but I still can't get over how annoyingly fake the light from Gandalf's staff looks when they enter Moria.

Can we please just have a "Great Job, Internet" post about the various places online that are debunking the whole "Prequels were nothing but CGI" bullshit?

So were sets and things from the Prequel trilogy, but they didn't have the means to actually film them. So even then, there's a lot here that matches the PT and SE stuff.

It's not as easy to relate to, but it's way better than empty hookups and Jedi Knight-dom having absolutely no sense of emotional compromise or conflict.

Yeah, and that's exactly the sort of thing that would piss me off and make me swear off the Disney version of "Star Wars".
