I had the same thought! But it has the inherent problem of, how do you convince viewers to sympathize with a perfectly healthy, living human being who eats people. I mean, yeah, Hannibal did it, but this seems to be going for a different vibe.

or from the 1975 film, or just because it's super famous

I preferred the continued unspoken mystery of mute Mrs Hernandez

For me it was "I'm just a girl, towering over a boy". The line, the visual, and most of all the confident line reading were perfect.

Wasn't that already true in Inception? I mean, literally nothing about that movie made any damn sense

of cock, yes

I remember just seeing the poster for this and thinking, "this is going to flop so hard." I don't know how these things get financed

Yeah, I'd be fine with just a scene where Vin Diesel is going to drive away without saying goodbye, but Leia drives up next to him and challenges him to one last race, and then he does a VO about family

It's kind of a misleading list. They're really just defining five 'categories' of closing credits and then giving a bunch of examples, and choosing their favorite for each. So like #2, which is all about credits that 'pull back the curtain' with footage that isn't part of the narrative (for example the group walk of Bu

Yeah, I think it was Matthew Bernstein, though it may have been David Cook, both are brilliant

If I were a lawyer for Paramount, I'd argue that Axanar did further monetary damage to the Star Trek brand beyond the profits it made.

I don't think there's an argument to be made that Star Trek should have entered the public domain. Aside from a ten-year gap between the original series and the first movie, the franchise has been a near-constant presence on TV and in cinemas. If you told financiers that a property that valuable could be completely

I mean, you could make a non-porn parody…just putting it out there…

Clearly he was referring to TNG's 'The Measure of a Man'

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, boy do I envy you! OK, let's pop in Exhibit A, 'The Inner Light'…"

Even if they weren't going to profit, Paramount could still argue that Axanar dilutes the Star Trek brand, making "official" movies or series less valuable, and potentially confusing customers.

I remember my first exposure to it was when one of my film professors showed the "Blue Rose" scene and explained that it was a commentary on the director's own work and how it's viewed. That would have been some time probably in the late-90s. I think it had a bad rep when it came out in '92, but in hindsight it might

Also, I think there's a lot of stuff that Sanders just didn't get challenged on, because Hillary (who knew she was winning the primaries) didn't want to upset the base and the Republicans (who saw Hillary as a bigger threat) wanted Sanders to win so they could use that ammo for the primary. The "Bernie would've won"

just for the record, the things we masturbate to aren't necessarily the things we want to happen in real life
