Halle Bailey was born in Georgia and moved to California at the age of 12, where she stills reside. Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid, an American movie starring and made by Americans, is as much her culture as its yours. She's not stealing anything from you. 

If there was an Oscar for Best movie marketing (and considering how important it is for the business, maybe there should be), the Barbie movie would have it locked, no matter the ultimate quality. I have a couple very “manly man” friends, and the movie caught even their eye. It’s so wild and out there, people are…

And now I wonder if Tarantino has ever seen a Neil Breen film. Tarantino loves idiosyncratic trash cinema, and Breen’s films fit the bill perfectly.

I’m sorry, but no, he’s wrong, becausethe history of cinema has always being filled with unmemorable filler films. This isn’t new to streaming. Before streaming, they were direct-to dvd. Before that, you had the VHS nasties boom of the 80s. Then you had Grindhouse cinema (which Tarantino fully knows). All that has…

But DeSantis is a bigot. Or at least, he acts and legislate like one. He targets specific groups of people and makes life harder for them, for the sole reason that they don’t think like him. He calls other people groomers and pedophiles with 0 evidence and ostracize them with laws. He lies to people to be able to put…

The Deponia series and Night of the Rabbit are solid point and click adventure game in the Lucasart tradition. Night of the Rabbit especially.

E.T. on Atari was rushed out in a few weeks and is an infamous broken turd. Licensed games have been broken rushjobs over 3 decades

The dev team isn’t the one who makes that call. The history of video games - especially licensed video games, is full of devs being given an absolutely ridiculously short timeframe, and the dev team just doing what they can: E.T. on Atari, Jurassic Park: Trespassers, etc. 

Sounds interesting, but I don't have a group that would fit this game right now. Evil Hat means it will hit retail, though, so I'll keep an eye on it next time I impulse buy an RPG. 

Did you forget your sense of humour at home today or something? I signed my last post “A typical Hollywood exec” for a reason. I’m not actually making an argument, I’m making fun of the tendency of Hollywood to justify their decisions with appeal to realism, no matter how little sense it makes.

So far, Marvel Studios has never canceled an announced project. The closest they’ve come to is Inhumans, but even that got made and released in some (cheap, awful) form.

Also, be active and vigilant in your union, because they are not immune to corruption, and a corrupt union makes every other union’s job more difficult. So if you are in a union, make sure to engage with it as much as you can to keep it honest and efficient.

Exactly, the dumb cartoon wasn’t realistic. But our movie is gonna be, because this is a real movie with real people, and so it’s so much better than a dumb cartoon for kids. Pass me some more blow!

I agree it’s ridiculous, but that’s the exact reason they gave when the first Bay film came out for why Megatron didn’t turn into a gun. “Make it realistic” was also the impetus behind the ugly Sonic design in the first trailer. It's just how Hollywood execs think. 

But it wouldn’t be realistic! You can’t shift mass when you transform! Or else the mean Cinema Sins bullies will ding you. Do you want to be dinged!!??!!

Because it wouldn’t be realistic for the huge robot to transform into a much tinier cheetah.

“Right there with the first Bay” is really not an encouraging phrase. Yes, the first Bayformer film is the best of its series, but it’s still pretty bad, with terrible characters, confusing action, gross oversexualization, and dumb and/or offensive jokes. "As good as the first Bay" is one hell of a low bar. Battleship…

Yup, which makes me think they might have solved the rights issues and we’ll get it in the end credits. One can hope

I don’t really agree that it was a cult classic. A Disney cult classic is someghing like Atlantis or Rescuers Down Under. But The Little Mermaid is a bona fide mainstream classic. It’s relatively low box-office compared to its successors is much more a result of being the movie that started the Disney Renaissance. It…
