At the time I was working on an Aliens licensed product, and we got an early Alien 3 script. This script had Ripley crash landing on, essentially, a medieval planet, with a large castle outpost that was populated entirely by a human religious sect sworn to never use violence or modern technology ( hence, flying off to…

On the other hand, I was reading an article just the other day that talked about how much of that original crew was “an old white boys club” that was impossible to break into. If that Muppet crew were around being successful today, all you would hear about is complaining about how non-diverse the performers are (from…

Nah. You have some new Jedi-ish person show up, and then you give that person a one-off episode or something explaining all of that backstory that gets placed in some doldrums on the Disney plus schedule, if the backstory really bothers you. The fact that Grogu willingly accepts the new Jedi would mean that we trust…

Most of Leia’s character arc in Star Wars is Leia sitting around in a cell waiting to be rescued, and then complaining how she is being rescued.

One thing Star Wars always does well is bring in characters who don’t seem like much at first or very one dimensional, only to branch off into more compelling stories about them.....

It would be more fun if he became Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four movies.

Finally, the fantasy elements appear to be inspired by Chinese wuxia films, not exotic Asian stereotypes.

But really it still astounds me that people even arrive to the aircraft with improper (disallowed/whatever) masks.

All the zombies are napping, so they all have to tip-toe through the base to keep them from waking up.

After looking at the image at the top of this article, I’ve realized that the X-men must have a fantastic dental plan.

Because the last time a more thought-provoking sci-fi series decided that “action-packed” was where it’s at....we got Captain Kirk doing wheelies on a dirt bike while shootin’ lasers on a far away planet.

Yeah, it’s an entire article that basically says “I have no idea how movie studios operate.” A) Actors don’t get to decide what projects are greenlit. B) Mackie already has a contract with Marvel that spells out how many projects he “owes” Disney in some capacity; there is no reason to ask him his opinion.

Why include just all male artists? That whole 1960s era has been romanticised completely romanticized about free love, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It’s not like they kicked people of out Woodstock because they were checking driver licenses for age limits.

So, what you are describing is pretty much Fantasy Island meets Home Improvement?

Hollywood isn’t really bereft of ideas, as much as it likes hedging it’s bets against spending lots and lots of money on creating entertainment products. It’s easy to say “why don’t you guys take more risks” when you aren’t the one fronting millions of dollars.

I’ve always wanted just the “Wandering Carol” show, where she sort of is just taking the place of Clint Eastwood in “The man with no name” series.

Yes. It’s VERY clear that Disney ( and frankly ALL movie studios ) are experimenting with all of their movies right now to figure out the best way to make their money back while still keeping the pipeline moving forward, through some combination of theatrical/streaming shenanigans.

Uh, Raya was pretty much south-east Asia and not China.

Because make no mistake, this is no mere experiment. It’s Disney’s first major post-pandemic return to exclusive theatrical releases, period. It’s also the first Marvel movie in a few years to star a hero we haven’t seen before in another film, the first Marvel movie with an exclusively Asian and Asian-American cast,…

Yeah, the best "new" thing about Man of Steel is Hobo Clark. I would like a Hobo Clark tv show.
