Anus Targaryan?

As long as they’re selling Batman, they should throw in Batgirl too. After all, it would make more than zero money that way.

A Batman show , rather than shows based around every single person in Gotham EXCEPT Batman?? that’ll never catch on...

I was a combination of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

Seeing how Zaslav’s start to the new DiscoBros regime is…something, your mom may be on to something.

If it’s Hulu, that would mean we get on Disney+ here in Canada, which would a) be hilarious and b) get a bunch of people like my mom asking when Batman’s gonna join the Avengers.

I always liked that convention in epic fantasy where most of the characters have names like Logaren, Korg’eth, Salitus, and Tamiliel, but then there’s a random dude called Bob.

I think this is #2. He went to rehab and then made that movie about his childhood as an actor and his messed up relationship with his dad. And then the Twigs stuff came out, and he’s back at square one. 

For those keeping track at home, that makes three unrelated projects that Peters tried to shoehorn a giant mechanical spider into, one of which succeeded.

I’m glad he’s not in active use because he would have kept on abusing others, but fuck, the “self enlightened” brand of toxic masculinity that is happening lately is some deep level of delusion.

Ever seen In A Lonely Place? Humphrey Bogart plays an antisocial screenwriter who’s hired to adapt a hacky bestselling novel, but hits a snag when he’s accused of murdering his neighbor.

Aenys is a good name!  I think my second Dragon Age character was named Aenys.

Watch The Offer, which is a mini-series about making the Godfather. The first episode it’s ridiculous how everybody claims to have read the book and hasn’t yet - to the point that it was called an anti-Italian American book and movie.  

The worthwhile mention that Jon Peters’ obsession with making a film with a giant spider in it, not matter how jarring, is eloquently explained by Kevin Smith in this two-part story.

Bob Weinstein told Jackson, “I see this as Guns of Navarone, but fantasy.” He’d never read the books, had no context for the story except WWII movies. This was always the big problem with studios — they had no idea what it was they were adapting, they always tried to make things fit into a template they could…

And Eowyn would have been cut entirely and never worked again if she didn’t come up to his hotel room.

True, if Harvey Weisenstein had had his way, then there would have just been one LotR film in which Gondor and Rohan would have been rolled together into a single country and Eowyn would have been Boromir’s sister and replacement for Faramir. And that’s just the biggest changes that I recall. 

Just another reminder of what a massive sea change LotR was for the movie industry and popular entertainment in general. Yes, Jackson and his collaborators took liberties with the material, but but the trilogy mostly true to the source material. Because everyone involved realized that people wanted to see LotR movies,…

I now totally want to see a movie where Gaiman is assasinating potential scriptwriters, directors and producers of bad Sandman adaptions like he is a contract killer (think Gross Point Blank).

What would you prefer, black leather?
