Because the last thing you'd want to do is wait until you have more than a few rumors and a couple of sketches to give you an idea of what he has planned before you make up your mind about what the movie is going to be, or whether it is going to be good or bad.

Well people like Weaver and Cameron think Alien vs. Predator was a bad idea just because they think it's cheapening something they care a lot about (and they might be right), but in reality it wouldn't have been too hard to make an AvP movie that was a lot of fun if they put it in the right hands. But they made the…

Today in the USA we let people die everyday of treatable diseases just because they can't afford to pay for the treatments. How is that any different than what was happening in Elysium? Aside from the fact that we can't yet cure all illnesses "We can instantly cure all disease with a magical machine but won't cause…

Yes, because obviously this was all about the money, and not just him using a goofy situation that he found himself in as a reason to do something funny.

Wow there are a lot of humorless people here who seem to have no clue as to who Eugene Mirman is or what he does, but feel comfortable expressing this kind of dumb ill-informed opinion about the whole thing. Did you even read the ad? And if so are you some kind of weird emotionless android and/or alien who doesn't…

I think that the first clue that The Amazing Spider-man 3 "would 100 percent have been a real shit show" is probably that The Amazing Spider-man and The Amazing Spider-man 2 were both 100 percent real shit shows.

Who ever said they didn't have both?

Last night at the Rifftrax Live performance of Sharknado 2 they had some uncomfortable fun with the Jared cameo, which mostly involved exaggerated uncomfortable mumblings when he showed up on screen, and reassurances that they had indeed had a joke about him in the script "on Monday".

Well I think the first clue that this isn't racist is that he didn't say anything even slightly racist.

Yeah! In fact it doesn't matter to you SO MUCH that you are… reading the article… um… and posting comments under it…

Fuck "sides". Today's Democratic politicians are basically just the equivalent of the
Republicans from 20 years ago, so the idea that there is a liberal "side" in Washington for progressives to root for is laughable and incredibly naive.

I wasn't accusing you of anything, I just found it weird that this minor thing is what you were referring to as feeling like a retread when the entire movie itself is a just retread at it's core. And that's not even a criticism of the films quality, it's just the nature of remakes themselves. Maybe the film will be…

Sorry, I don't write down to dimwits.

Yeah, but you'd still have a much easier time finding a junker 80's Cadillac today than a junker 50's Cadillac today, so if it has to be a modified junker Cadillac that still has a distinctive (dare I make myself feel old and say classic?) look to it then one from the 80's is probably the best and most believable…

If you want to blame someone for "uninspired design" blame the people who originally designed the car in the 1980's. The original 1950's Ecto-1 was a believable old junker for 1984, but you'd be hard pressed to find a still functional car like that from the 1950's today, at least outside of the collectors market. It…

Except Ghostbusters the movie was NOT based on the 1970's The Ghost Busters TV show. They did pay the company behind the TV show basically just to avoid any possible future lawsuit headaches over their use of a similar name, but never at any point was their movie "based on" that show.

Wait, THIS is what feels like a retread to you? Not the fact that they are making a remake of Ghostbusters at all?

Tell them you have an appointment for an e-meter reading.

Well actually no one knows what caused the Broderick accident, especially because Broderick conveniently "doesn't remember anything" about the accident, but in any case he was 100% at fault. Just randomly swerving into the other lane and colliding head first with an oncoming car is hardly an open and shut "legit…

The Miles Morales Spider-man is kind of a different issue though. They didn't "change" Spider-man when they created him. He was created especially for the Ultimate Marvel universe, which itself was created as a way to do this kind of fiddling and experimentation with well known Marvel characters while keeping the…
