You two are doing the lords work here!

I suspect Barbie is going to be lightning in a bottle; I have trouble imagining Mattel’s B- and C-list properties doing anywhere near as well. You’d think this would have reinvigorated Masters of the Universe or Hot Wheels; those were both more popular and a little easier to imagine a direction for a movie to go in…

Can anyone take that Saw X poster and edit it to replace the guy with Elon Musk screaming instead?

Skrudey, didn’t don the War Machine suit once, to protect the president, and no one questioned it. Much less, the writers create a reason that he didn’t. Could have at made up a line like “the Skrull DNA doesn’t match, so the suit rejected Skrudey” or anything.

They should just do what Star Trek did and have Hill come back from the Black Mountain with absolutely no fanfare.

This show felt so cheap.

Talos was killed with very little fanfare and it was not cool

I was most surprised by how forgettable a killer giant shark movie with Jason Statham was 

Depends how you cook them. It’s no coincidence that France gave us the five mother sauces and the guillotine.

Can we stop using direct Twitter (or is it “X” now?) links, as most of us have given up on the platform and can’t even see what you’re sharing.

Negotiations will probably ave to resume before you’ll get any nitty gritty on details, but the broad strokes of what SAG AFTRA want are widely reported: to get paid on time, to increase pay, to address income shortfall now that residuals are not a thing on streaming, and some means to protect humans from AI…

I liked him in Futureman .

Where’d you hear that? Because the rumors have been that the tech companies are the main holdouts rather than the traditional studios, and can hold out much longer than them because streaming and film/TV is basically a rounding error to them.

Seriously, Apple has been putting out some really good stuff lately.  If they were to come to a deal with the WGA/SAG I would totally sign up with them.

Or they could....like...pay the writers and actors?

I’ve read rumblings that Apple and Amazon may side step the AMPTP and make separate deals with the unions which would be fantastic for their services. Then they could get back to work feeding a hungry viewership with little competition, while the rest of the AMPTP fumbles about.

Yes motherfuckers, delay fucking everything since you’ve decided on going all in on being inhuman greedy dicks.

Not entirely though. I am a woman who never played with Barbies and I was there on opening day. It just looked *good*. The story, the actors, the director — I knew as soon as I heard “Closer to fine” in the trailer, it was going to have exactly the right sense of humour about itself. At this point it’s also a word of…

I went and saw Barbie because it looked good 🤷🏻‍♂️

I mean, with Barbie, it’s clear that the brand helped promote the movie - people got dressed up in pink or with Barbie-font shirt and were clearly there because of an emotional connection of some kind with the concept of Barbie. People were also talking to each other before and after the movie, in the way they do only…
