As others have said, when it comes to WWII war crimes, Japan really isn’t in a position to throw stones. So let them be mad at a harmless social media trend.

I don’t think that movie execs have decided that toys are the new MCU, yet. Rather, I think Mattel is trying very hard to convince movie execs that their toys are the new MCU. But I’m not sure people will bite. My guess is they will be able to get lone of those projects off the ground, maybe two, and they’ll suffer…

I’m not sure I agree with the idea that this summer is really that special. Every summer, a bunch of movies come out, a couple become the megahits of the summer, a few others do well, and the rest do poorly. Sometimes you’ll have a legendary megabomb or an absolute steamroller of a hit, but that’s not the case this…

The linked articles clarify that the books will still be there for student to borrow, but there will be no librarian or any other kind of professional to curate the books or help students find what they need. Which, of course, will just end up with students not knowing where to start, and the books will just sit there…

Oh, we have a trailer from Kraven. We have nothing from Ghostbusters, not even an actual title.

Wait, the next Ghosbuster was planned for this December? That feels like it wasn’t gonna happen, strike or no strike, since we’ve barely seen anything from it and we’re almost in August.

I think that’s going a bit too far. Maybe I’m just naive, but I doubt Marvel writers are pro-genocide or against minorities being allowrd to thrive.

Yeah, buy our plastic tchotke and release a supernatural force of destruction on your friends for only $19.99!

Oh yeah, now that you mention, I remember the Prof X one. It was from X-Men 3 The Last Stand. It was as pointless as anything in that movie.

To be fair, the Polly Pocket movie was announced a few months ago IIRC. In any case, I’m pretty sure that his answer was written way before the movie released - it’s bog-standard “we must convince shareholders that we have a ton of lucrative projects coming up” executive-speak. I’m not sure even he believes half of…

“Luc Besson’s Catwoman-esque action film, Dogman.”

Since I don't remember any other post-credit scenes in Fox X-Men films, I'm going to say no. 

A good point. I guess in my head I was thinking of it more as a spin-off, marketing it without using the name Barbie. Like, not Barbie 2: The Rise of Ken, but Ken: The Movie. Probably with a different director and/or writer to make it feel more like its own thing.

If they do a sequel, here’s my idea: Don’t do Barbie 2. Do a Ken movie. At tge end of Barbie, Ken is now on a quest to find his purpose, independent of Barbie. Let’s follow that quest. And the movie can be a deconstruction of “boys’ toys”. The Lego Movie 2 had a bit of that, but I’d love to go deeper.

Imagine if this artefact got a description similar to what we find in museums today:

I’m fully with you on that last one. I also hate that sales tactic of “only ingredients you can pronounce,” as if that meant anything. 

I always had a soft spot for The Wolverine. For some reason it stuck in my head more than Logan. I really need to rewatch Logan.

If I ever meet Michael Bay, which is highly unlikely, the first thing I’m gonna ask him is “how are your dogs?” The second is “Please tell me what the tought process was behind not only writing and shooting this scene, but actually leaving it into the final product. I'm genuinely curious to know why this scene is in…

I don’t know if there is just something wrong with me, but why is every article about this movie, including this one, making it sound like the G.I. Joe connection is a huge mindblowing surprise?

Per my experience, anyone unethical enough to use AI art and pretend otherwise is also too lazy to do the work to cover their steps.
