“I don’t mind, therefore nobody is allowed to mind”

Zorro’s actually a tricky one because the owners of the rights created a company called “Zorro Productions” and use a picture of Zorro as the logo for the company. They then registered “Zorro” as a trademark instead of a copyright since trademarks don’t expire. This is also probably the route Disney will take with…

Here’s the thing, though: TFA hadnt set up any of that. It had Han announce that Luke blamed himself and walked away, and then did absolutely nothing else to set up what happened between Luke and Kylo. The audience expected Luke in TLJ to suddenly be idealistic and heroic and awesome but TFA had already established…

Can’t be that obvious if people have different opinions

I think the SW fandom’s inability to accept its previously idealistic hero being depicted as having become an old and cranky man who denounces the organisation he used to believe in is proof positive that the Star Trek fandom is more mature and frankly just better.

People also joke that Keanu Reeves hasn’t aged in 30 years when anyone with eyes can see that that’s just not true. Have you seen the set photos from the new Bill & Ted? Reeves looks good for his age but not THAT good.

Up until now, Wall St was probably waiting for them to do the obviously profitable thing and sell the rights the Disney.

Pokémon GO: Get out of the house every day and get some exercise

Maybe to Truman Show Ed Harris. No to Snowpiercer Ed Harris.

Sure, but the time to start researching “how this might play out” is not five minutes before you have to decide whether to actually put it in motion or not, so starting the research as early as possible is absolutely necessary, even if it raises the risk of some politician actually doing it without listening to the…

Bright side: last year, copyright started expiring on all kinds of books, movies, etc. And by the 2040s it will be legal for cinemas to play old 1940s serials like Flash Gordon etc. As well as MGM’s The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind and (drum roll) Disney’s Snow White. Disney is desperately trying to stay ahead…

Yes I meant figuratively. But I think a serious journalist would do some more research into what the hell the story even IS before rushing to the press. THEN if it turns out there is indeed a story, publish. Skipping the research and verification process turns a journalist into a straight mouthpiece that will repeat…

Hopefully we’ll learn more

Yeah whereas the cast of Justice League is a bunch of nobodies like Ben Affleck, Jason Momoa and JK Simmons

“My money’s on...”

Lots of things. Muhammad Ali and the man he was originally named after, Cassius Marcellus Clay. Martin Luther King. Chuck Yeager. Dolly Parton. Charley Pride. Dwight Eisenhower. Jimmy Carter. George Washington. Bluegrass. Jazz. Fried chicken.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have already donated $1m to coronavirus-related charities, meaning that’s just what they’ve donated this year.

Is there another flag that represents southern pride but ISN’T Confederate? That’d be ideal.

No, the Dukes of Hazzard is all about Southern Pride. The show just needs to give the South something else to be proud of. The fact that you can’t talk about the American South (which does have a shared culture) without unconsciously segueing into thinking you’re talking about the Confederacy is 90% of the problem.…

Nah, you’re wrong there. Streaming doesn’t replace the experience of the cinema.
