A Fantastic 4 movie should be a period piece that takes place in the 1960s, with crazy Kirby-esque sets. It should not be a grimdark updated thing.

Can we get Christoph Walz to play Belloq?

If I recall, they were vague about when in the 50s it started, and they never referred to topical events. Laverne and Shirley, which took place in the same time frame, acknowledged 1959 turning to 1960, but I don't think Happy Days ever did.

It's probably a shot-for-shot remake of Spock's Brain, except with more fisticuffs and explosions.

Hey, Simon, if you're going to end up strip-mining an original episode, anyway, give us a $200 million remake of "Doomsday Machine" with Bryan Cranston as crazy Matt Decker.

I wonder how long it will be before the crappy abandoned Orci script shows up on the internet for us to mock.

*dons fighting togs, adjusts mustache to battle configuration, prepares for fisticuffs*

I know. The yard's full of Batmen. We'll have to just start cremating them.

Soon he'll have bludgeoned to death as many men as Mary has sex-killed.

I just assume that Isis is the name for all the Downton dogs, like the way the University of Georgia mascot is always named Uga, and when the old Uga or Isis dies, it's replaced with an identical dog. That's probably one of Carson's jobs. I would imagine that he comes in early in the morning, finds old Isis dead,…

I saw Professor Elemental at DragonCon. He puts on a good show. He's really the best of the Victorian steampunk tea rappers.

I guess that's not a word we picked up when we were busy saving you guys from the Germans again.

The first photograph ever taken was the view out of some French guy's window. The third picture ever taken was that guy's naked girlfriend. Technology moves fast.

But in the book he gets back to Earth in the far future, and gets stopped by a gorilla cop. It's not the Earth of the past or the Earth at the time he left. The twist in the book is that everybody evolves into apes in the future, even aliens.

The bumpy head Klingon thing was the way Roddenberry wanted them to look originally, but there wasn't the budget for it, so they settled on the Pancho Villa space-bandito look. He later used the bumpy head makeup concept on some mutants in one of those terrible post-Star Trek shows he did with John Saxon.

The thing you have to remember is that Wrath of Khan is basically a soft reboot, and that ST II, III, and IV are all busily pretending TMP never happened.

The reason they used it in TNG was because it was cheaper than commissioning something new.

THIS IS NERD HERESY!

That would make it pretty much ten minutes of hot man-ape-on-warthog action, followed by credits.

Return of the Jedi wasn't that great. JJ could probably get close to that. Frankly, though, I'll be happy if it's better than Phantom Menace.
