Watching JJ Abrams films is like, for me, watching feature-length film trailers. Jokes about "lens flare" and such aside, my main problem with his films is that it's like he wants every scene to be a rooftop chase with bombs going off or a passionate kiss in a storm but doesn't understand that you can't make a movie…

It sure sounds like Dr. Ken has a prescription…for laughs!

I'd been told there had been some serious nerd meltdown going on over at http://www.reddit.com/starw…

In one of those tie-in novels, written by Walter Jon Williams, someone wonders what the Empire would have done if they were still around to fight an alien menace, and Han Solo offers his opinion on superweapons:

The next installment will be titled You Must Fight To Live On The Planet Of The Apes

Then Beaker from the Muppets put his two cents in.

The mustache wanted it's own trailer and demanded it's own salary for appearing on the show, and left in a diva-fit when it didn't get it's own way.

The key difference is that one version will suck total ass while the other shall blow chunks. Both versions will still have fawning reviews written about them with phrases like how Tarantino is a master of splicing the DNA of pop culture and [film genre] into blah blah blah blah blah, on and on.

OK, the joke is over, you've had your little laugh AV Clubbers, you can tell us this isn't an actual project now, that it's just a joke…go ahead, tell us.
Come on now, tell us it was all the joke it obviously is. Come on now.

From what I saw it was lame and tedious, and no first run Amazon series I've seen is worthy of watching; it's like their strategy is to purposely create shows that try to be as much like the worst of cable TV as possible.

These are all better than Ultron's actual lines - indeed, better than most of the dialogue in your average Marvel Cine-Universe film.
Not that that's too difficult.

Disappointed, I thought this was going to be the big budget musical adaption of Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan that nobody knew they wanted

From what I've seen it looks like a lackluster, half-assed parody of a high concept flick as you'd see as a film-within-a-film during a tepid, lazy Hollywood satire, only it's real and was made for serious.

Everybody, a Ryan Murphy series turned out to be terrible. Yes, I'm just as surprised as you are!

I saw Hong in an episode of the first season of Peter Gunn, the series created by Blake Edwards, starring Craig Stephens as the titular PI - this would have been 1958-1959, and he was looking young-ish in his role as a Chinatown club owner who asks his friend Gunn to look into the circumstances involving his fiance…

One bit I liked from Moebius's Dune designs was his concept for the Sardukar costumes, as seen here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media… and here in this photo of the concept costume, with Giraud and Jodorowsky.

Also, let's have a look at production design drawings by William Stout who was originally brought in to storyboard:

Yes, Langella as Skeletor, let's go to the tape:

Green Day "tried", just in general.

One of the stories, "The Crawling Sky" was adapted for a comic, and contains this exchange between the gunfighting preacher and a man whose story is that his wife was carried off by some supernatural nasty.
