“Clive Cussler wrote many shipwreck related books and often the characters went to consult with Cussler himself”

It is the exact kind of thing you’d say if you wanted to turn down a project about a black lawman but wanted to be...gracious about it. I’ve no doubt he heard something along those lines. “Market’s saturated, by the time it comes out the genre will be dead again, thanks for coming in”.

Solo bombing just means his career will be different. If Iman Vellani’s biggest problem is that she’s steadily working but not doing Marvels sequels, she’ll be fine. It’s a healthy attitude she has.

Hank Azaria has publicly credited Hari’s documentary with changing his mind on voicing the character. 

It was pretty poorly directed. Zhao is bad for the material and made bad choices because she wanted to do Malick shit in a superhero movie. It just looked stupid.

Not if you actually want to make money off it.

“This. Marvel didn’t start out with a projected mega-franchise.”

This is just blatantly false. The post credits to Iron Man immediately teases an Avengers movie and Marvel shoehorned a hastily filmed RDJ cameo into the post credits of The Incredible Hulk. They were projecting a mega franchise from the start, they also…

The answer is almost always the amount of people watching didn’t justify the cost of producing further episodes. “Why make Show A when they could have made Show B, which I like” is an understandable impulse, but there probably weren’t enough of you for any of those shows.

Is there something hypocritical in his belief that comics should stay on the page despite writing and updating other characters on the page? Like yeah, if he wrote a Superman movie and then complained about Hollywood adapting Watchmen, he’s a hypocrite.

They have to pay to air music videos. They can’t just throw them up. The record industry used to let them do it for free but they don’t need MTV like they did in the 80s and 90s.

Sara uses they/them pronouns.

He followed Cody to WWE.

I’m hoping this is successful and they just make more and pretend John Kramer never died.

Smoking absolutely increases the risk of stomach cancer and Wayne had already had lung and throat cancer, cancers which are typically caused by...you guessed it. The connection of that movie to the cancer that killed some of the stars is one of the most overblown stories in Hollywood. 

All were heavy smokers, not coincidentally. 

“ Strange 2 was the shortest entry in phase 4.”

Adams is in it and defending it, no big deal to me.

I can’t think of anything remotely as provocative as Happiness that has come out in the streaming era. 

Yeah, because its a coke fuled glorious mess that’s entertaining.

I think you mean it doesn’t hurt in this case.
