Young Penny would be fun.  I think you could do a lot with portraying her adolescence or teenage years, given how much of a trainwreck it apparently was based upon her accounts of it after the fact.

Really Old Sheldon, in which he confronts the horror of a life spent in pursuit of vainglory and hollow awards and meaningless plaudits, because it is all trifling and waste against the vastness of the universe and the cold truths that the Earth will be swallowed up by the sun, and all his achievements ultimately…

Does the machine simply shut off when you reach the end?  

Jesus 7 seasons?  I swear it doesn’t feel like Bates Motel ended all that long ago.

If this film doesn’t nothing else other than portray Blake Fielder-Civil for the piece of shit he was/is, it will be a success.

I agree. Star Trek movies just don’t do it for me, not when you have the series.

These streamers are doing a bangup job at creating high value IP with years of future syndication value.

God these pun threads just drone on and on...

“We swear it’s not a musical, please buy a ticket!”

In their defense, I think most of us tried to repress any and all memory that this show ever existed.  

Look, some people get their thrills from skydiving or rollercoasters. I get them from reading about cost overruns, hasty rewrites, and sudden departures over “creative differences.”

I look forward to reading about all the behind-the-scenes turmoil and costly reshoots.  

I thought it would be a certainty she took her own life, given her years of struggles with mental health.  And yet, the fact she died of natural causes, almost seems worse to take.  Because she suffered so much.  Really makes you believe one can die of a broken heart.

“For as long can I remember, I’ve always wanted to be the Messiah”

Trepanning will do the trick!

“They’re not my friends now.  For, um, reasons.”

I love to point out to people who say the Civil War was for states rights/political ideology, that if that were true, how come the Confederates for their constitution basically plagiarized the American constitution word for word, except that slavery was explicitly legal and could never be banned, the President had…

I’ll tell you, it’s been fascinating to see the shift in regard toward Barbie. At it’s peak during the summer, I would’ve been willing to wager it would win Best Picture, and quite possibly Best Director, and I figured Ryan Gosling was a lock for supporting actor, along with a slew of technical awards. It had that…

And what a fun bit of comparison it made, when HBO made that miniseries that hewed more closely to the original.  I just love seeing the same work adapted again and again.  Like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or The Great Gatsby.  Adaptations really can be the most interesting works.

That’s reductio ad absurdum. I’m not talking about script drafts. I’m talking about script iterations by different people on the same concept. Again, this was a film that was in development hell for years, with many different people attached to it, who did work on it, and then departed, before the final incarnation…
