Justin Lin said he and Vin Diesel rejuvenated the franchise by constructing it like a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The first movies were when they were still level 1 characters (Bryan was a paladin who multiclassed to a fighter once his alignment changed, Tej is an artificer, Letty and Roman are rogues who specializes…

Your definition of a “dead horse” is radically different from the normal one. A “dead horse” would be something like trying to make a new big-budget movie out of The Lone Ranger or Ghostbusters. Fast & Furious is like a horse that has been winning all its races and is well on its way to be retired as a stud.

5 is widely regarded as the one where they finally hit their stride and became the first since the first movie to be genuinely good instead of just bad-good.

Captain America: Civil War made way less money than Avengers 1 and 2, but Marvel is still talking about Phase 4 and all that.

It’s good that they do this, especially with gun-loving far-and-alt-right types being big fans of the character. I hope the series at least emphasizes that Frank Castle is not really a good guy even if he only goes after criminals. I’ve been waiting for the MCU to fully commit to that with Iron Man, but the character…

JJ Abrams is the most obvious guy ever to remake Your Name. Your name pretty much works as a romance-themed Frequency, but then there’s a plot about a meteor strike. Abrams makes movies and TV series that essentially dramas with scifi elements. Remember that he created Felicity, a TV show that is neither scifi nor…

And then when you can play games at home, they make games hard to make you call the hints hotlines.

Arnold? Is this live action movie being made back in the 1990s?

Penny Arcade got Kevin mostly right, but while Lori’s outfit is accurate she looks a bit too young.

I remember one article saying that the best way to survive a Predator is by stripping naked, covering yourself in poop, and begging for mercy at the Predator’s feet. This way you will look so pathetic that you become unworthy of killing.

It is, but last I checked the Penny Arcade guys do not actually run it directly.

That Bhad Bhabie video thumbnail is reminding me of this terrible video.

You know what I loved about the 2009 movie? The villain was literally an obsessed lore nerd complaining that things are not the same as the stuff he remembered and then was destroyed by young characters who does not know what he’s talking about and just sees him as a threat to their lives.

Pretty much every Singer X-Men movie have been good except for Apocalypse, and I think that one strayed too close to MCU territory unlike the well-liked DOFP before it. And more importantly, most of the second wave of X-Men movies that started with First Class have been at least decent (again, barring Apocalypse) and…

Because the comic book this is based on is pretty dark.

Witch does imply dark stuff, though.

You better hope this gets made as a Halloween special.

It’s more Supernatural 90210, I suspect

The comic book this is based on is one of the best of the new crop of Archie comics. This includes the new Flintstones comic books where Fred is traumatised that the company he’s working for is committing genocide against more primitive humans.
