“I said to my husband, ‘I think everyone is going to see this as a response to what happened to me,’ but it genuinely wasn’t. The first draft of the book was finished at the point certain things happened.”

“Like a diorama” is a good phrase. You know what dioramas usually are? Miniatures.

I find that reality looks pretty flat to me, stuff doesn’t regularly stick out like a 3D film. Instead, it tends to move in and out of focus depending on what I’m looking at.

Oh yeah, he was 100% pimping her out. But I don’t think he was necessarily expecting her to seduce him, he was just making sure that she was right there if and when the King wanted to fuck.

Yes, Tarantino famously struggles pitching his original movies, so of course he was looking for a franchise he could co-opt. /s

My point was that I don’t think Shakman even had a choice to make. Trek 4 had stalled (again), so he got another job.

I think two characters is more than enough to throw studio executives into ridiculous cold sweats.

Let’s be honest, this isn’t a scheduling conflict, this is Shakman getting another job because Trek wasn’t moving forward. Best guess is that some executives got cold feet because a few characters would be in both the movie and Strange New Worlds, and audiences couldn’t possibly cope with such a confusing state of…

I don’t really understand why some people were suddenly so averse to Krasinski post-Multiverse of Madness, but I don’t think the others being returning cast members is in any way definitive about his chances of taking the role in the MCU-proper. There’s pretty much no chance that when MCU Professor X is introduced, he’…

Or about how he’s against making toys of female characters for incredibly dumb and sexist reasons, like a boy might be disappointed by receiving a female action figure as a gift and turn into a serial killer.

Only seven years between Tomb Raider’s second and third iterations (Legend in 2006 and Tomb Raider in 2013).

I think it’s very clear with Musk. At best, he throws out some half-formed concept, a team of other people have to do the actual design and engineering to turn it into something that might actually work (often downgrading it significantly in the process because his concept was dumb), while he positions himself to take …

He was sick (I’m assuming you mean the sore on his back), long before we see him getting a cut from the throne.

For reference, you could check with some Christians and find out when they’re planning to stop calling it the New Testament.

Or so Martin would have us believe. I think it just as likely that show’s ending is pretty much what he planned, and part of the holdup is him trying to come up with an alternative after seeing the response.

I hope it’s a lot, because I thought Birds of Prey was mediocre at best, and can’t see this comparing well to the anime unless it’s taking a radically different approach.

I would think a residual from a purchase is still more than the residual from a single stream.

I suspect few people purchase shows digitally and instead rely on what’s available on their streaming subscriptions. As a result, your show being on a streaming service might only result in tiny payouts, but you can expect something regularly. With digital purchases, it’s equally miniscule, and you’re probably not…

It’s Fantastic Four, both could be true.

Different dimensions are just non-linear locations within a universe — so all universes might theoretically have their own mirror dimension.
