No, an R rating is not and has never been the most important part of a Blade movie. You don’t need the cameraman to focus on a head exploding without cutting away in order to enjoy a movie. It doesn’t need to be a Schwarzenegger movie. Blade doesn’t even curse that much.

I assume Feige means exactly what he says:

Go get ‘em, snake-bro.

This explains a lot but I will still say that even if most of the protesters didn’t have a specific plan and got swept up in the exhilaration of the moment, they were still screaming shit like “heads on pikes!” and “hang Mike Pence!” and beating a cop to death with a flag etc.

In fairness, in this case the juxtaposition of the unnervingly weird (and hints of existential dread) with the cloyingly banal IS a hallmark of Lynch. Twin Peaks wore the skin of an extremely cheap soap opera, for example. And Blue Velvet required you to get through several layers of “golly gee” before you found the…

My guess: they need Wanda to do her House of M thing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but they know that they haven’t done nearly enough in the movies to justify the transition from “somewhat misguided kid who can move stuff with her mind” to “utterly unhinged woman who can alter reality itself”, and…

Giancarlo Esposito as Xavier

I still don’t get that Blurred Lines judgement. It sounded almost nothing alike. It’d be like The Police suing Bruno Mars for making Locked Out of Heaven sound too much like Message in a Bottle or “like a song they might write”; sure, they’re similar, but you can’t copyright a general vibe.

“Accidentally”

very much playing to my very queer sensibilities

It’s nice to see Undead Goblin Slayer teaching Link everything he knows.

Sex

It’s bigger than that. I know Captain Panaka says “the Hutts are gangsters” but Jabba was also the undisputed ruler of the entire planet of Tatooine. Now Boba Fett is. It’s pretty obvious in TPM that the Hutts are not just mob bosses but the Caesars of Tatooine.

The dude just saved all their lives. He could obviously be trusted. In fact he was literally the only person in the galaxy powerful enough to keep Grogu safe. Din knew he had to let Grogu go with him. There was no question about it.

Commander Skywalker, I think. General Skywalker is his father.

It’s nbot about whether she’s allowed to rule, it’s about whether anyone bothers to follow her. The show has made it clear that the Mandalorians are a scattered people who don’t even believe Mandalore can be rebuilt. Without an epic story about how she avenged Mandalore by defeating the man who (presumably) glassed…

That’ll probably be in Ep 1 of The Book of Boba Fett

There have been rulers of Mandalore for ages without it. Satine ruled without it. However the Mandalorian people have fragmented into a diaspora who (judging by Din and Boba) apparently all scoff at the the idea that they can be reunified. If Bo-Katan had won back the darksaber and returned to Mandalore in triumph,…

Yeah honestly I don’t think anyone would want him to return as the next “de-generation” after Jodie Whittaker, even if Tom Baker’s curator hinted at a return to old faces, so “when hell freezes over” is an appropriate answer there. He could plausibly do a “The Five Doctors” story but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Of…

Note: with strong attacks it is possible to push the Taurus Demon off the parapet and insta-win if you manage to get in the right position.
