Is there an Arbor Day horror movie? There should be an Arbor Day horror movie.

*chuckles* Catchphrase.

Well, Xenu sure isn’t hanging around here.

Perfect opportunity to do a female Bond, too. Not that we need such a thing, but it’d be fascinating to get someone like Greta Gerwig on that and just let her go nuts.

Veronica Mars fans?

I mean, you have a point, although I’m not sure how well it works when the movie in question is... The Beekeeper.

Man, I don’t remember anything from that movie, aside from HBC’s ape character wearing makeup, which is bar none still the fucking weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in a big studio movie.

Wonka, I’m guessing, without bothering to look up the numbers.

Yes, but Maverick isn’t a naval aviator, he’s a superhero.

As long as you mean the Flerkin, I’m in.

Yeah. Star Wars is a great template for space action-adventure with what should be a fairly small dose of the mystical, and you can tell a million stories without ever reusing any of the characters or settings. But they’ll never do that because THING YOU KNOW, I CLAPPED BECAUSE I SAW THE THING I KNOW

The KMK hypothesis: He’s relatively inexpensive, he’s a workaholic, he’s extremely talented, and not very picky. He’s a great way to juice up the comedic quality of your project without having to actually have better writing.

Yeah, I dunno. You could be right. But as much as I enjoyed TGM, I’m veering more and more anti-franchise at this point. Let old things die and make new things.

I feel the need—the need for a big ol’ moustache.

You and I don’t always see eye to eye, but... yeah.

Seriously. I bet they could get Boyega back if they made it a TV series focused on that relatively low-stakes story (there doesn’t need to be giant superweapons or elaborate evil schemes) and especially if you framed it in the context of social justice. Hunters, but Star Wars.

I like the Jude Law hypothesis. He’s a great actor but if you can get him into a giant franchise, it means you’re just throwing money around and not really worrying about quality.

Or just fucking go back in time a thousand years and have new characters having adventures during the Old Republic, on planets we’ve never seen before.

Wraith Squadron or gtfo.

All of his attacks are withering insults, but only effective if the other fighter is one of his children.
