When I see vinyl at places like Barnes & Noble, I always wonder who the market is for owning something like Teenage Dream on a record is. Surely, it's mostly parents buying a record for their teen / 20 something that has no way to play it?

I saw a set of those family stickers that had Darth Vader and Princess Leia as the parents which could only mean two things: it's a really fucked up family or people who don't understand Star Wars but thought the stickers were cute.

It's a good thing then that the NRA hasn't had a sense of decency in like 25 years.

Much like how a very Scarlett Witch like daughter of Magneto was killed off in Apocalypse.

They're part of the newly formed comicon washouts branch.

Surprisingly, Joss Whedon was added as a writer but not a director.

Del Toro would just vote for his Godzilla toy collection each year.

Nope. It's not like South Park fans are the key demo for this film.

I was amused that the trailer's touted Trey Parker as a star of the film when 99% percent of average film goers would be hard pressed to tell you who he is.

They'd be a fun pairing and they could even do a generational thing if Michael Douglas is game for an appearance too.

There's a minute or so flashback of WW2 era covert Bumblebee transforming from a VW to attack a Nazi stronghold. It's honestly the best thing in the movie and I wish it was the entire film since a historical Transformers would be so much more interesting than what we've got the last two times now.

Senor Spielbergo is still an exec producer. I'd imagine is more a token credit than the actual creative direction he provided early on.

Fast Five is the best of the series. Captain America: The First Avenger is technically the fifth in the MCU line.

Bay must love Coen Bros. films between those two, and Goodman and Buscemi voicing Transformers.

It's never made 100% clear, but they say that Vivian is the last of the Witwiccan / Witwicky line so presumably Sam and his dad (and any other blood relatives) must have died at some point since Dark of the Moon. They play a brief photo cameo of Shia for laughs, but it comes off super dark if what they are implying is

Elfman has branched out and does a lot of films that aren't his Burton / whimsical / fantastic fare that he's known for. I have a ton of his scores I've listened to over the years and was shocked to see his name at the end of The Girl on the Train since it's such a mundane score for a pretty average thriller.

For the MCU, Phase One was pretty rough outside of Silvestri's Cap and Avengers themes. Phase Two was a bit of an improvement with Guardians and Antman getting fairly decent themes - I particularly enjoy Antman's 60s vibe.

There's always the unofficial cover version by Bond:

A lot of people probably don't know that she worked pretty extensively with Elfman on his early scores like Scrooged, Batman, and Nightbreed when he was still relatively new to composing for film. He's not an orchestrator so she really helped to shape some of those scores. It's one of the reasons Warner hired her to

Dracula Untold was supposed to be the first in this series, but it also failed to put a stake in the ground.
