Right, the core “stakes” of Indiana Jones films arent that he’s trying to save the world or defeat the Nazis to win the war. It's more about the lengths he’s willing to go acquire a weird artifact before someone else does.

Not every movie needs "stakes".

Your "ps5 that only costs $100 more than a switch" doesn't include the price of a touchscreen or video monitor to play the game on. Nor the cost of dealing with a battery pack. It's not really a fair comparison of equal technology for the price.

As a side note, I’m rather bothered by the idea that EPCOT, which is supposed to mimic a world’s fair with rides ever so slightly based on science or different countries of the world, plopped in a Marvel Movie ride. Not caring about the theme-ing of your ride based on the part of the park you put it in is a cheap ass…

Does Jimmy Olsen need to be a guy?

Yeah, I’ve had that same reaction. I remember watching the college football on New Years Day when I a kid at my grandparents house, and thinking “Those guy look old.”

Is playing Lois Lane in a Superman movie ( where you basically get to scream help me a lot while men around you are punching down CGI buildings) REALLY a bigger role than headlining an emmy-award winning show?

hmmm...if that’s the case, I wonder what the reason is why I never see anyone carrying around a PS5 to play games on the train or an airplane.

That’s actually a good point. However, I’m trying to come up with any episode of the new Dr Who runs that did a historical episode without a side of sci-fi baked in. There has to be one example, right?

same. I’m probably up to 50 hours....never heard of these darn things.

Yeah, the actors in Whitaker’s run were enjoyable and fine. The “revisit historical points in Earth history” stories were pretty good, but the science fiction-based stories for the most part were pretty bad...and it felt like there were three in a row during the first season that were essentially the exact same story.…

I now wonder how well WW84 would’ve done in a theater instead of being banished to HboMax at the height of the pandemic. Me and my wife were all set to go see it when it was going to come out just based on the goodwill of the first 90% of the first movie. ( the last 10% with the Ares fight scene is just awful and…

I doubt it. 99% of the world doesn’t really follow the daily lives of actors once you below a certain level of stardom. Ezra Miller is no where near the Tom Cruise/George Clooney level of mindshare. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell you the actor’s name in the Flash. Heck, it wasn’t until recently that I found out…

“A bunch of people died, which created all these other regulations and safety units for Hollywood films, but have things really changed when some people are getting under paid to do cgi" seems like a horrible these-things-are-no-where-similar take.

I completely believe that anything as visually kinetic as these movies are, that it is almost impossible to storyboard everything out; so much of these films are based on seeing the final rhythm, and then going back and re-editting shots, which in an animated film means “turn the content engine back on”.

Suddenly, the idea that Indy has turned out to be actually the villain who goes around stealing magical artifacts in order to stave of his own mortality in his old age interests me.

I was under the impression that the entire run of Next Generation was essentially a secret trial.

Having watched both Clue and Ghostbusters 2 originally in theaters, and then attempted later via vcr/dvd/cable broadcast, they are both mediocre movies at best. I’m fairly certain that they fall into that category of movies that have raised to cult classic status by a few internet memes by people who have actually…

This feels like a bad example, given that Miles Morales was never THE Spiderman, he was an alternative universe Spiderman, where you can just make up any type of Spiderman you want, without any care of an actor appearance. A better example probably would be if they straight up replaced Tobey Maguire with a young…

Thankfully the Skywalker saga is finished, the big secret is that this is completely all new and starts the 12-film Organa saga.
