“It was strange that neither of these blue-chip franchises came up.”

Three out of the four films have been shot and are in post-production. Blade’s got a script and is in pre-production and should shoot later this year to give them close to a year on post-production.

I deserve that.

More like Oldswire, ammiright?

Having different versions playing at cinemas at the same time seems pretty apt for the film 

The blog advertisement?

He’s in the final montage before that tag (the one that also shows Nakia and Zoe doing social media videos together) - he’s wearing a blue CalTech hoodie and he slips a note into (presumably) Kamala’s locker with a sad face.

He’s already a canonical Asgardian thanks to his voice cameo in Infinity War.

No - if anything they’ve been buying up minor studios themselves. There was talk of Amazon or Hasbro buying them a few years back but nothing came of it - and nothing to do with Warners.

“Dune: Part Two will now compete with Warner Bros. fellow picture The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes”

“It felt like an organic way...”

Agreed. Other reports (including the source one lined here) don’t reveal the actor’s name in the headline. It’s just an extra second of thought, whole load more professionalism. 

Doesn’t Palatine give him the Lord title in Episode III?

While I agree with the idea of dropping the idea of a male actor playing the Trunchbull in the film version (I imagine it plays onstage as a more fun and theatrical choice that’d be lost in translation), it is a shame we missed out on the original casting for the film - Ralph Fiennes as the Trunchbull could have been…

It was called the velocirapture

Its not even semi-offensive - it’s the most childish of terms for female genitalia. It's what an 8 year old might use alongside 'willy'.

Edit - nothing to see here

It’s fitting with classic Kenobi who goes into hiding by changing his name from Obi-Wan Kenobi to... Ben Kenobi. Yeah, that'll do. Job done. Think we'll let the secret kid keep the name Skywalker too.

If it helps the movie had *less* songs that I thought it would - figured it would go all out like the South Park movie (which is a brilliant musical) but instead there's only three real bits of the characters singing.

I think that's just the now-usual case of The AV Club not reading the source properly - elsewhere it's said the first season will cover a year and the second will cover four years, all leading up to Rogue One.
