I was under the impression that stunt people work hard to make things that look dangerous to be not so dangerous, so freak accidents like this where someone is actually hurt or killed tend to be quite rare.

The Emoji Movie is a small step in creating the wider Unicode Cinematic Universe.

Knowing Bill Hartnell's wife was named Heather, it wasn't too hard to figure out that the show would get them back together in the end.

There's a dog who's seen a stick and is just waiting for the conductor to throw it.

To be fair, he didn't have time.

I don't think it's really trying to build toward a twist at all. Like how the film doesn't offer any alternate explanation for why the soldiers would be skinned, and it bounces the Predator's POV several times before its reveal. So the question is not whether something otherworldly is out there, it's just building

I'm not sure omitting the outer space drop-off scene would really matter that much. The film teases the titular Predator constantly, pausing only long enough to get through the CIA subplot battle scene. It never really tries to make a case for the "just a couple of guys out there" explanation.

It's like a perfect encapsulation of 2017 life. There's havoc being wreaked in full view of everybody, but that lawn ain't gonna mow itself.

It's the adult equivalent of hiding in a fort made out of couch cushions and planning for lots of make-believe scenarios that won't really happen in the real world.

If you're going to make a King Arthur movie, why not give audiences what they expect to find in a King Arthur movie? Have some chivalry, knights in armor beating the crap out of one another, a magic sword, a love triangle, etc. Then make it not cost $175m.

There's even an official test render of a battle scene from DS9 in HD:

Fun fact: the Doctor already had an adventure in a far-flung future of 2018 in which he meets a megalomaniacal politician trying to take over the world through subterfuge, blackmail and lies. It's called "The Enemy of the World".

If you want nerdy, I could mention that the 4th Doctor must've accidentally created the aforementioned megalomanical computer when he briefly disappeared in the TARDIS midway through his first story. And we know it's the case because there's nowhere else for a solo adventure to go after his regeneration.

In this instance, chocolate is a euphemism for booze.

It hadn't been picked up sooner because it's very short (even shorter than "the Cat Returns") and largely forgettable.

Perhaps more specifically, gamers kept badgering Sony about it for so long that they finally relented, dusted off their old code and finished it up on the PS4. Had people not kept asking, I suspect the devs would've been content to let it die quietly.

They're both basically Alien, only underwater instead of in space. I think Deep Star Six had the giant lobster monster, and Leviathon had something else.

Similarly, I think the best version of Aliens is something in-between the two versions. The robotic guns scene in the director's cut explains why the aliens sneak in through the ceiling. But those scenes with the colonists don't really add anything useful.

BvS isn't likely to beat Deadpool at the domestic box office at all. Not only is Deadpool an obscure character like you say, but it was made on a fraction of the budget.
