I really think this is a case where “shot-for-shot” remake is the best answer. Take advantage of the new medium to lean into some of the visuals and trim some of the episodes and bits that didn’t work (which is very little, I’d guess around 10% of the entire Series). But if the Netflix remake isn’t Avatar script + ligh…

I don’t think anything any game company is doing would even come close to an “ethical hack” which is a very very tiny set of cases (environmental damage, REAL slave labor, war crimes, governmental collusion, criminal financial fraud injuring naive investors)

There’s got to be a way they can rework it so Gugu Mbatha-Raw can become the new Kang. She’s a great actress, and the end of Loki 2 was 95% of the way there.

For me what will be very interesting is that the books have an absolutely immense amount of internal dialog. Many TV shows do not like to do that. If they strip it out the show will be a failure.

The books are extremely short. Almost to the point where I suspect they are intentionally written that short so that the author can get more Audible subscription tokens for the same amount of work.

It was a pretty terrible movie, but the only decent and competent person was the star (Betty Gilpin). The liberals and conservatives were all portrayed as awful people. The conservatives were all just as incompetent and hateful as the liberals, really the only difference was these liberals had the means to trick the…

The A24 guys know how to market!

They have been saying that since your dad and I were in Grade school.

I very clever writer could come up with a scenario where Texas helps the west secede with the promise that Texas gets to be it’s own country after it’s over.  That I could see.

A violent civil war would be bad for business, but the West Coast (Oregon would be getting a free ride here) would be far better off it economically it could secede from the Union. No matter what the media tries to tell you, California and Washington are economic powerhouses compared to nearly every other state.…

Getting the guns isn’t the problem. The side that can go to the major cities and tell mobs of angry 16-22 year old boys that they can go to the south and have a criminal free holiday and keep all the spoils is going to be the side that wins. I’ll let you work out the rest. War is dirty, unfair, and awful. You have to…

Was out as soon as they said California and Texas were on the same side.  Absolutely unbelievable.

His Tesla empire is going to really fade fast now.

Looks like this has also had the effect of dropping the price on the Xbox S by $50.

You are bumping up their MAU (Monthly active users) but the amount time on the platform (which Advertisers use) is effectively zero.

The truth, for better or worse, is that a majority of the tech base is liberal (I would guess somewhere between 70-80% are liberal and probably 40+% are very liberal - even more if you only count coastal tech). And I think a lot of conservatives are not going to buy an EV on principles (although they couch those in a…

While Anya-Taylor Joy is a great actress, does anyone else feel that she isn’t buff enough to play Furiosa?

That’s exactly right.

The State of Decay Guys have been trying to make a Zombie shooter MMO for going on 10 years now and they were able to get bought by no less then Microsoft because of it.

Good for you.
