That's fair, and possibly correct, although between his encouraging people to read the leaked script on Twitter and his noticeable absence (even on social media) from any of this recent activity surrounding the film, I've got a hunch that this movie's gotten away from him since becoming the most expensive spec script…

I googled this with a fair amount of rigor and got nothing; between that and Xanderpuss making a comment further down this thread about Fox "raping" Marvel I'm assuming this is just a distasteful and inaccurate analogy referring to Hawley's delaying the reversion of the FF rights back to Marvel.

I miss Klaus Nomi.

That'd conflict with their apparent plans to do a Doctor Doom movie with Noah Hawley - although I suppose shared custody with the MCU hasn't stopped Sony going forward with a considerably worse set of ideas for Spiderman-adjacent films, so…

I'd agree, but I think despite everything Marvel still cares enough about their TV department to avoid reusing an actor who played a recurring villain on S.H.I.E.L.D.

Does this mark the period of Leto's career where he only does good, likeable things?
I mean, realistically no, but it feels necessary in some cosmic sense.

Nothing about this teaser dissuaded me from thinking it's basically a triple-A remake of Spy Kids 3D: Game Over, which is good news as far as I'm concerned.

I know people around here love to clown on Max Landis, and probably with good reason, but I've read a leaked draft of his screenplay for this (prior to Ayer's involvement) and the angle about Will Smith's character being fantasy-racist was entirely absent. So, you know, if that ends up being a major and uncomfortable…

No, they actually just go around switching the comments sections of pop-culture sites over to new services.
You'd be surprised how crucial those places are to a free and open discourse.

Reason roughly #800 this news is terrible: jokes about Linkin Park's edgy lyrics should be innocent fun, and now instead they'll all look as awful and insensitive as this post.

I remain of the opinion that Zootopia was Disney's mea culpa to the world they inadvertently created. Like a deadbeat parent finally committing to child support payments.

If there's ever a next Hunter S. Thompson, I guarantee they're going to be born at something like this.

Now come on, to be fair, the extended cut of the ending makes it clear that Saul Bass just wanted to rip off 2001: A Space Odyssey, as opposed to performing some sort of arcane cinematic ant ritual.

No, you see, animated features are for when studios decide to throw a few extra million dollars in the direction of a successful children's franchise.
(You silly-ass goose.)

Initial, entirely non-judgmental impulse: it's a furry convention, they have to be pretty good at adequately preparing for descents into debauchery by now, right?

So we should expect their comedy empire to collapse sometime in the next few months, then.

This may be the safest time in the history of the show to cast a female Doctor, but that by no means meant it was a sure thing. As recently as a few days ago the dominant rumor was still "they're casting Kris Marshall because ratings are down and the suits want another Tennant".

Well not to sidestep your point, but Pearl Mackie's been spotted on the set of the Christmas special…

"Mummy On The Orient Express" hinted pretty strongly that the Rani is a man now, so I'd be really down for this.
