I thought Amazon’s adaptation of William Gibson’s The Peripheral (RIP) was amazing. Very different from the novel in a lot of ways but the changes made sense for the new medium while leaving the heart of the story (the characters, the relationships) largely unchanged.

Never mind that, why would any being in the galaxy ever try to lie to a Jedi if they knew they were susceptible to a Jedi Mind Whammy?

I’m ready for Untitled Giga-Goose Game.

Seriously. It’ll just be a little stunt, one of Mae’s tricks.

“I’m also not sure why people assume it is somebody else’s responsibility to retrain you if your industry becomes obsolete...”

“Why do I have to have a Marvel [movie] that’s all women?” Peltz asked the publication. “Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that”

How can you love storytelling and not find those stories captivating?

Every picture makes me flash on the Bo Burnham “Inside” special.

Zach Snyder doesn’t make movies. He provides content. So this is a match made in Hell from top to bottom.

Because it always boils down to numbers for them and their sycophants. And numbers are easy to manipulate and objectify. Elon has however many kids, but he doesn’t give a damn about them. Doesn’t matter, he has a number! And the number is the point!

When I started volunteering in a fossil prep lab, the lab manager (who has obviously been on and lead a lot of digs) confirmed that, yep, licking rocks is a good tool to determine whether they’re fossils or not. Your tongue will adhere a little bit to something that is/was organic in a way that it won’t to a rock.

The director’s cut will be three times as long. Not because of restored scenes, but because of all the slow-mo.

Don’t be absurd! A “man” like that has already beaten the fight out of his spouse and has moved on to family pets!

To quote those great philosophers of the 20th century:

I don’t know how they’re going to top the original animated movie...

Something something “kids these days” something “participation trophies” something something?

So he’s giving up on the Metaverse now? Because if it’s “easier to build trust in person”, then why faff about with VR headsets and all the doodads when we can just... meet up? Or at least have a Zoom call if distance is involved?

The thing that really killed the show for me was the lack of whimsy, something the movies really captured from the original cartoons. The Addamses dumping oil on carolers seems weirdly heartwarming. It’s not defensive, it’s festive. It’s tradition! I can almost imagine the scene beforehand, where Gomez hears the…

Alternate take? Despite wanting to like Wednesday because I’m a fan of the Sonnenfeld films and the original cartoons, I found her to be such a dour, unlikable character that I found Enid to be interesting. Especially given that she has to put up with a bossy, selfish diva like Wednesday as a roommate.

I have watched all three trailers/clips they’ve released so far with my jaw literally slack on my face. My not so inner seven year old is thrilled.
