To be fair, though, LMS did noticeably tone the conservative rhetoric down after a while, to the point it was limited to one or two grouchy Tim Allen one-liners per episode.

Both of them, in fact.

Random thought : I just realized that Tony Stark recruting Peter Parker for his Civil War, and turning him into a living weapon, isn’t so different from what Thanos does with his “children” (minus the genocide & the millions of deaths that come with it all).

On Discovery ? He co-wrote a couple of episodes, including the pilot and the season finale, and he exec produces the show.

Bwahahahaha. Brilliant combo, Netflix.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve rewatched Riddick not long ago, and the first part of the movie stuck with me, but I’m almost expecting the first 30-60 minutes of the movie (maybe after a short Guardians/Thor or Banner/Strange intro + the title screen) to be only about Thanos : his origin story, his quest, his…

Thing is, they already have an entire season shot and ready to air.

On a budget of less than $5 million, Get Out made $255 million at the U.S. box office last year.

Indeed. And he probably also has alternate Phase 4 & 5 plans scheduled (feat. the F4 & maybe some mutants), in case the Fox/Disney deal works as planned, so... an all-female movie at this point, just for the sake of having one and pleasing the bloggers is probably not on his agenda right now.

If you don’t like where those ST reviews have gone, stop reading, stop complaining & commenting and stop criticizing those who don’t enjoy the new Trek. Just my 2¢.

Honestly, I (along with many others, I guess) called the Enterprise popping up as a season ender as soon as the pilot aired. It’s just basic cheap fanservice 101, and judging by some reactions here and elsewhere, it’s enough to make this finale the greatest thing in the universe for some people.

IIRC, she did it to gain somewhat eternal life, and to get stronger/more powerful in the mirror dimension. And it’s bad because such dark powers end up corrupting the soul at some point, which kind of makes her flawed (& hypocritical in blaming Kaecilius for doing the same thing), when she should be the wisest being…

*reads the review*

Just the fact that he had unexplained back wounds, slept with his phaser under his pillow and that his admiral ex-gf said something along the lines of “you’re not the same person anymore” or “I don’t recognize you anymore” was enough to send warning signals to my (admittedly bored by anything Burnham) brain.

I’m expecting the movie to be somewhere around Doctor Strange ($680M), box-office wise, maybe a few dozens millions more, depending on the reviews and on the domestic b-o.

What I meant to say is that he’s no Iron Man, Cap or Spidey. And Chadwick Boseman is far from being an household name with worldwide recognition.

Well, there’s no doubt in my mind that the US box office might be strong (esp. given the hype on black twitter, and so on), but i fear it won’t play that well worldwide, where the african-centric movie and the lack of an identifiable lead or main heroes might just limit its international reach.

Yup.

Ah, yes, Lifetime, the proud producers of Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever, aka the (crappy) movie where Aubrey Plaza’s voiceover mocks the viewer for watching a crappy Christmas movie, “but keep watching, it brings in the ad revenue, and you’re making us richer, moron”.

I just find it weird that nobody with that project is able (or willing) to clearly state if this will be animated or live-action. They’ve been deliberately vague about it ever since the first press release, and that’s been puzzling, to say the least.
