My wife gets upset when I put this DVD on the same shelf with the Romance movies (it is DEFINITELY a love story) and it’s one of my favorite movies. Please don’t fuck this up Fuller!

When are people going to learn that removing Stephen King stories from the context of the written medium removes them from everything that makes them worthwhile in the first place?

I’ll watch this, even though Bryan Fuller is almost guaranteed to make it into another one of his slow-motion artsy-fartfests. Hannibal was great when it started, but the late episodes set in Italy were borderline incoherent. And almost the entirety of his stay on American Gods was a mixture of great campy bit parts…

Of course her works extrapolate wildly from her own experiences and her intuitions of what must be true - it’s all she’s been trained to do.

the whole premise is dumb. The world should become a noisy place and thus these monsters cant track crap. Its a premise with a hug plot hole so glaring I dont get how people can watch this mess.

The framing here seems a little unlikely: how can a studio that is virtually defined by its aversion to risk challenge itself? It won’t. It will continue to absorb elements of other popular genres and declare them to be risks, and we’ll all seem commenters everywhere repeat every word.

It feels like Marvel is taking the lesson of Guardians and going to the next level - can it build an entire phase around heroes that casual fans are unfamiliar with.

At least for me, Blomkamp will forever get the benefit of the doubt for the carjacking scene in Chappie. It is perfection and just the right amount of stupid.

WHY YOU STEAL DADDY’S CAR!?!?

Y now?

If this really cost $200 million then that’s probably the reason it got canceled lol. Like I don’t think even the most expensive season of Game of Thrones cost that much.

Jupiter’s Legacy looked like they were trying cash in on the popularity of The Boys but they just don’t have the balls to go full Ennis.

The comic-book version of this story had all the usual Mark Millar quirks: lad humor, ultraviolence, and pastiche with an undercurrent of Spielberg-level sentimentality. But it moved along pretty quickly. After the success of Wanted and Kickass, I wouldn’t be surprised if Millar wrote this series with a film…

I really love every story about major franchise stars who don’t give a shit about the fantasy worlds they bring to life. This is almost as good as Harrison Ford’s blithe contempt for the rules of force ghosts.

Switch? This I gotta see.

This is why I wish Marvel still had Epic Comics - their subsidiary that ran on the platform of the creators owning their IP.

I hope that Marvel starts giving its creators a share of the profits when their stories become giant movies, but I’m not holding my breath. Still, it’s good to see Coates using his cultural stature to give Brubaker a signal-boost.

Have the parents and/or babies make some new friends? People with babies make new parent/playdate friends all the time. Send them to preschool, new friends, bing-bang-boom.

This thing where characters (exclusively female characters, it seems) who were the subject of “lol, they’re gay” gags on the early internet (Betty, Buttercup, Velma) are now being made canonically gay in reboots seems a little bit...I dunno, maybe it’s good. I have the sneaking suspicion it’s one of those things that…

It’s still on my to-watch list, but Hardcore sounds like Possessor, I think?
