Oh, you big sillies, they have plenty of money to pay the writers!

I can see where the confusion comes from, though, because you see...they don’t WANT to pay the writers and are more than happy to spend infinitely more than it would cost to just give them everything they’re asking for multiple times over to avoid

That’s cute but, remember, walk of fame stars aren’t some kind of award or recognition of impact/importance, they’re just straight up bought...and they’re not even particularly expensive*.

*For a corporation, like Paramount in this case.

That looks like a Katamari of every single piece of sci-fi and fantasy produced over the past 60 years. He’s not even being clever and trying to hide it...not that Snyder has ever been subtle, but that was beyond the pale blatant.

Counter-counterpoint: Thor Love & Thunder is a bottom-five MCU movie and has the absolute worst use of humor in the entire franchise.

Never, everyone just loves to skip over the important context that Gunn has said he’s open to it being a transplant into his DCU since it’s essentially standalone as it is. As of right now, though, that’s not the case and will entirely depend on how it performs and if there’s any demand for more.

There are many reasons Flash flopped, the quality of the film isn’t one of them.

Another dumb redneck piece of shit fundamentally misunderstands what the 2nd Amendment actually fucking means...story at 11.

They were, actually, Sony bought them in ‘93.

Ya gotta remember, though, this was a very, very different time and Sony wasn’t the powerhouse they are today. They came to the game with with a lot of 3rd party experience, so they treated a lot of their 1st party titles like 3rdparties and put them everywhere they could

If they use AI they don’t have to pay anyone to do that work, and not paying people to do that work lowers production overhead, lower production overhead leads to a lower break-even point, and if those projects maintain relative box office performance that will lead to...da-da-da-da...higher profit margins!

I tried going back through twitter to find where I saw it, but someone broke down the actual cost of the WGA demands per each studios respective most recent profits...and the HIGHEST was 0.1%, most were well under that.

Stunning isn’t even apt, the level of disgusting, blatantly offensive greed here is truly astounding.

Personally, it’ll always be the 1990 film for me. I loved the OG animated series and the original comics, I was as Turtles obsessed as any 80's kid, but that first movie absolutely blew my 9 year old mind. I still think it’s the perfect melding of the more serious tone of the comics and the goofiness of the animated

His design in Spirit of Vengeance is one of the reasons I’ll always defend that movie. He looks so fucking cool.

They did make a sequel, and it did still have Cage, PLUS Idris Elba.

It’s not good, but it is very entertaining and is weird and dark and stupidly over the top (coming from Neveldine/Taylor, the Crank directors, you’d expect no less) and leans a little heavier into the horror aspects of Ghost Rider than the super

Sure...the key difference being those didn’t spend a decade in “active” development, burning god knows how many millions years before a second was ever shot, compounding the break-even point (and any chance for a sequel) by multiple times and ultimately losing the studio a lot of money.

Sexist, no.
Ageist, yes.

Regardless, you’re right that it is a demanding role and it sucks that’s she’s incurred so many injuries, but mitigating her risk is expressly what stunt doubles (and digital doubles, fwiw) are for.

It’s gotta be hard to stay in Wonder Woman shape after 40.”

One, that’s a shitty thing to say, child.
Two, with Hollywood dieticians and personal trainers, it really isn’t.

Don’t pull that semantics bs. You know full well I don’t mean Marvel Comics or Marvel Entertainment or Marvel Games or any of the subsidiaries that have nothing to do with tv/film production...and if you didn’t, learn to use context clues.

Nothing, they’re all terrible!

Fuck Sony Pictures,
Fuck Tom Rothman,
Fuck Amy Pascal,
& Fuck Avi Arad.

Just because he’s only had one script produced doesn’t mean he hasn’t written many, many more that have gone unproduced. Also kinda shitty to put all the blame on Tucker when it’s Kyle Bradstreet’s show, he developed it, was the showrunner, he ultimately approved those scripts...and there were three other writers
