Serious question: Do you honestly think there was any way the results weren’t going to be horrible and tasteless? Like, do you really think there was any possible way that was on the table?

Uh, no. It’d be like your friend throwing you out of their house for calling one of his friends an asshole.

Eh. My point is, if they’d just hired some random-ass hack, nobody would care.

So what? He’ll stick to the books. Also, she’s worked in TV before and it’s not like they’re adapting Shakespeare here. If the screenplay’s shit, it’ll be because the material’s shit, but they were never going to wander far from the material anyway, something the movie being a hit made even less likely even if she…

Actually, it looks like he’s been steadily working: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0502727…

They gave the rumor an 8.8.

That’s what’s happening here, though. I mean, yeah, he’s her husband, but the dude’s got some decent credits to his name.

Probably, but let’s not forget J.K. Rowling kept an iron grip on Harry Potter throughout the film series.

To be fair, Wire In The Blood’s pretty good and the Horatio Hornblower movies were solid. This could be so much worse.

I was wondering why the teaser wasn’t online, and just the crappy phone video, and then I saw the typo in the title. Whoops!

I agree the MLB has done a GREAT job embracing streaming and digital tech. They really have. But I don’t know that’s going to be enough when their audience starts, well, dying. Literally.

News networks in general have seen their ratings sink over the last twenty years. Fox doing well is the equivalent of being the guy staying dry on the Titanic.

No, it means, “right now.” Unless they’ve worked out a way to sell you tickets to every single game every played, what happened twenty, thirty, or a hundred years ago doesn’t mean shit. You know where baseball ranks with, as a TV program, in terms of viewership age? NCIS, The Mentalist, and Dancing With The Stars.…

Wouldn’t it be great if that’s how we found out what that thing does?

What, with load times under a minute? That’s doing pretty well for a modern game.

“Jesus, how can this case get worse?”

Short term, it’s doing well. Ten, twenty years from now though?

“So you want me to throw this hard object at people really fast and then run into this other guy?” This is a game that speaks the language of teenagers.

I know somebody who doesn’t talk to NPCs!

Yeah, I admit I’d prefer a lamp just outside a boss fight to running through that gauntlet repeatedly.
