Exactly. But I have no merit for thinking of it. Crichton dit it first:

Big dinosaurs in cities are unrealistic, but small scavengers and carrion feeders like Compsognathus would thrive in cities and could easily become a big problem.

Which would be all wrong for Jurassic Park, and also so dumb. If you can genetically engineer dinosaurs to be whatever you want, and you want to make a boatload of money with it, you don’t make weapons: you make tiny pets version. Imagine telling kids they can have their own fully domesticated miniature triceratop or…

I actually liked the giant locusts plot? At least the idea of it? Because it’s the first thing in the World franchise that felt like something Michael Crichton would write, i.e. a fictional extrapolation of current science to warn us against the misuse of science by corporations. Corporations already screw over third…

“300, of course, was released in 2006 and became <one of the most popular and influential films of the era.> It was only Snyder’s second film but it put him on the map thanks to <his bold, ambitious vision> to bring the pages of the original Frank Miller/Lynn Varley comic book to life.”

But didn’t you know you shouldn’t believe anything Jenny Nicholson says because a few years ago she tweeted stuff that might not have been fully true about what Jon Boyega said about people shipping Rey and Kylo Ren and then blocked Black fans who told her she was wrong on Twitter?

Also I don’t remember anyone in the comments calling her a bot. A paid shill, sure. But not a bot. Also didn’t see anyone saying she made up the word “immersive”.

“it received the highest guest scores of any Disney experience for its ambitious storytelling adventure.”

Yeah, but she also had no problem inviting and posing with Elon Musk at her movie's premiere, so...

Is it though? The last one was a flop, and both versions of the one before that were a flop as well. I guess maybe the tv show did okay, I dunno. But 400 millions worth of okay?

Yup. Born into extravagant wealth, married into extravagant wealth. She never had to work for anything ever. So casting hersrlf as a working poor girl with a rough life is quite tone-deaf.

I still don’t understand why The Exorcist commanded such a high price. The Exorcist, as a movie, is a recognizable classic. But has a franchise, it offers nothing that isn’t already accessible to any movie about an exorcism, except maybe that theme song. Even Pazuzu is public domain, as it’s a name and figure taken…

So I was going to write that I’m pretty sure Nicola Peltz retired from acting and moved on to other rich girl hobbies like making clothes or something...

Yes, I know, that’s why I’m mentioning it.

Take a page from the Mario movie: keep it in-universe. Don’t try to bring the characters in the real world. Nobody wants to see that. It’s a high fantasy tale, treat it as such.

If you scroll down a bit to other comments, you will find a 4-hours video by Jenny Nicholson linked a few times about this hotel. On Twitter, the author of this article explicitly frames said article as a response/alternative to Nicholson’s video, and chides people for believing the video over this article.

IPs can be revived, but it is a crapshoot. The Exorcist Believer was a flop. Chucky’s IP is owned by his creator, not the studio (rights for Child Play’s 1 notwithstanding), so it’s a very different beast. And Halloween had one big success mostly based on the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, followed by two disappointing…

I’m afraid I have no idea what Spenser his, sorry.

I actually really liked Doctor Sleep, but I’m not a Shining superfan - I just liked how it was a dark fantasy film with a lot of worldbuilding and a great antagonist. I honestly think it would have fared better if it wasn’t sold so heavily as a Shining sequel.

Here’s my guess: Friday the 13th was 40 years ago. It’s old news. I’m willing to bet a sizeable portion of the younger population only knows Jason has an archetype, and has never seen one of his movies. If you were to do another Jason movie, you’d need to find what makes Jason uniquely compelling beside “masked killer…
