They can’t simply let it languish - they have to produce a movie every 7 years or the rights revert back. So basically Fox have another 6 years to find someone ballsy enough to sink more money into the franchise. Maybe there will be a FF series on Netflix in 2024 :P

It means that the vast majority of moviegoers and critics liked the film, even though you clearly did not. Hate to break it to you, but your opinion isn’t swaying the masses much.

Been saying this for years. There's a treasure trove in the 80s: The Sword and the Sorcerer, The Hidden, Runaway, Looker, Beastmaster...

Because why not: Cloudy with a Chance of MIB 23.

But I’ve always believed, since Iron Man 1, that things have got to work. Things have got to work, or people won’t let us make another one. I don’t think that’s the case for [DC].

“reshoots for humor” is silly. When a studio loves your movie and asks what else you want, go for it!

So...

If trans actors were to be placed above cis actors just to “give them a chance,” how is that validation, as opposed to affirmative action? This is a small group of industry people voting, if you’re expecting the fraternity that is AMPAS to do differently, disappointment must be fun for you.

Really surprised you didn’t include The Nightmare Stacks by Charles Stross. Maybe it didn’t need to be included since CJA posted a Stross interview about it back in November? The quality of the series has been consistently excellent, and I’m stoked that he’s been producing one a year recently.

Batman in Superman.

The big issue with the key - outside of the fact that it wasn’t “found” in plain view until the third search - was that it only had Avery’s DNA on it, and no other. Were I a juror, that jury would have been hopelessly deadlocked.

Oh nobody missed that. You could totally see that happening several light years away - hear it, too. The First Order funded their next super-weapon by selling popcorn and rollers galaxy-wide.

Reminds me of my dear departed Spider, found him 20 years ago about 4-6 weeks old on the side of the road, missing a leg and jaw broken. Animal cruelty, to my mind, is a leading indicator for sociopathic violent offenders, and should be treated as such.

Being young means you often think the best of people, despite your experiences. Plus it’s easy to get off on the feeling of being needed. I made the same mistake you did when you went back, and nowadays, for those truly awful people, the deal is always the same: I work on a $1000 retainer for $200/hour. When your…

You know, I’d like to meet his tailor. The last 3 times I was in a fight on a helicopter, I ripped my inseam and popped two buttons.

Akiva Goldman says that the human element of the franchise will remain an important part of the films going forward:

A couple of friends of mine did a passably good job as well.

Almost. Dallas. I'm guessing the pedigree is the same though.

God, this shit happened all the time when one of my ex-girlfriends worked at Borders. Because of the size of the store, they could never know if the parents were still there, but as the kid’s section supervisor it turned her job into a circus of apprehensive hovering when a toddler was just clomp-clomping around…

Please, please, please let me know your favorite restaurant and when you’re going eat there. I have so much gas just looking for an appreciative audience!
