Dangerous things to watch as a child are things like wrestling. Suplexed a boy in the playground once - did not end well.

Also, great article. 

“Whatever “just sit around and wait for a prince!” messaging Disney princesses theoretically brainwash into young girls clearly didn’t happen to me.”

In this world of reboots, I’d actually love to see a version of this with Christina Ricci playing an older Wednesday Addams as the head of a new Addams Family. 

Think with Fantastic 4, Spiderman and Terminator, it’s all to do with rights - if these movies don’t get made, the right revert to someone else. So they just rush out crap. When this crap doesn’t work, they reboot - with more crap. Maybe they should just give up the rights. 

Love this show. Watched it again recently and surprised at how well it stands up. This doesn’t sound like a reboot, more a sequel, which I can get no board with. Always felt Rob Morrow didn’t have the career he deserved after this. In fact, I guess it kind of benefits that none of the show - apart from I guess John…

Just read interview with Ari Aster regards that where the interviewer point blank asked him whether that was added in after. He claims it’s all in the script - the camera holds on the face and the voice of the other person floats in the background, so we never get a sense of the real person speaking (sorry for…

A younger Brad Pitt with his long flowing blond hair would have been my choice. These days, Armie Hammer? 

Also, not sure the casting was spot on - thought Matthew Goode was too weak for Ozymandias and Malin Ackerman felt wrong. Though Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jackie Earl Hayley were excellent choices. 

I enjoyed this when it came out but felt the fights scenes were both thematically and visually jarring. I loved the fight scenes in 300, but this style felt so out of place in this - essentially more grounded - story. And the sex scene too - why? I can see why the end was changed for film - a big intergalactic squid…

The cast looks ace - if Burton can ease more towards Big Fish and less Alice then in might be enjoyable. 

Grindelwald: A Harry Potter Story

Farrell is always underrated. Even liked him in Daredevil, mainly because he seemed like he was having fun when everyone else was brooding boringly.

“it can be kind of hard to decide what constitutes a rom-com” - is it primarily a comedy? (not dramady) Does the central plot revolve around romance? I’d say that this rules out Prada as the central plot is about her succeeding at the magazine.

Yeah, odd though. Because it’s the Crain’s in the book that build it ,whereas they’re just living here now. 

I’ve just realised the genius of The Good Place. Great sitcoms are based around strong characters. But with strong characters come character development, which often ends up moving away from what made the original great (Modern Family, Scrubs etc have all gotten worse as their characters changed).

Think a lot of it was down to the 3D and promise of immersive filmmaking, which never really happened. It’s not a film that’s stuck around in the pop culture landscape like Titanic or Terminator. It’s not a film people go back to, to rewatch. 

Lovecraft is all about suggestion and hints. If you read the descriptions of things, they tend to be vague, a bit blurry around the outside, letting readers fill in their worst nightmares. You make it solid and that goes. 

This is different to The Dear Hunter, an ambient punk prog rock band, right?

Yeah, true. Remember listening to the commentaries of the older episodes talking about how they animated the shows, with things like strikes affecting the system. You could argue that in the early days everything just came together perfectly and that in the long term it just couldn’t last.
