I fear the opposite. If there's even a little wrong with it, nobody will shut up about how it's the worst thing that's ever happened for like 20 years

I agree with you except for Lucas trying to bury the original versions. Like, it's okay that he wants to release a new version that's more in line with what he was trying to do, Ridley Scott did that with Blade Runner (though of course that's a very different context.) But when people like the originals better and his…

I get what you're saying… but also… that sounds like it could be a good doctor who episode.

I stared at this comment for like 2 minutes thinking the first line was one complete sentence and trying to figure out what "the crux of the show of course is their relationship— to hell!" meant

I think they figured most av club readers know about Hannibal

I suppose you could interpret any show or movie where they don't mention zombies as one if it made you happy

For some reason this is exactly what I was expecting this to be and yet I still want to see it. I probably WON'T, but still I vaguely want to.

Not sure if you're trying to mock the series or not, but that sort of disconnect between what something is and how it represents iself one of the big recurring motifs of the series. For example, everyone has to pretend to be really really happy that the Hunger Games are happening.

They wanted it, but they wanted it right away. Bryan Fuller turned it down because he didn't want to have to have season 4 out in 9 months

Aw, I kinda like how each one has been from a different director. It's an interesting way to keep a franchise fresh

A franchise movie… designed to make money? Bu-Bu-But… there's no way! That's insane!

Lower anticipation for the prequels so that people aren't still regularly talking about how much they hate them 15 years later. We get it! They're bad movies! Move on!

Yeah, I didn't see them until I was 15. (Well, I saw the prequels, but, um, that's why I didn't see any others until I was 15.) I think they're super fun but the level of people's obsession with them baffles me and is definitely nostalgia based. The first 40 minutes of A New Hope are the worst part, takes way too long…

Wow, I don't remember the Bionic Woman reboot being that bad. I guess I had a serious case of the "I was fifteen"s

Yeah, as soon as I read that paragraph I was like "they're playing it safe and making sure they know what they're doing first"

Hopefully this one will just focus on societal observations and likable characters and not tie itself to an increasingly convoluted premise they always planned to just ignore anyway

I'm about 2/3 of the way through ready player one and am mildly surprised this hasn't come up yet

It doesn't help that the first version was almost 2 inches thick and had an audible whirring hard drive in it

It's easy to mock, but I still had mine until earlier this year… not because it was so great, but because it was a proto-spotify. All the music, 10 bucks a month.

Yeah yeah, I know, to make money, but, like, why does this exist?
