Wow he was only 79? Just shows what kind of crazy toll wrestling takes on a person’s body, since I remember watching him with Foley during the attitude era and he looked super old then. But he would have only been in his mid-50's.

Pixar seems like they are in a tough spot. For a few years it seemed like they were getting a lot of criticism for focusing on sequels, even though some of them were great like TS3 and Incredibles 2. Now they are mostly focusing on new stuff getting criticism for it not being as good as the previous stuff. Even though…

I only vaguely remember this, but wasn't there talk at one point about doing a live action Star Wars show on ABC? It might have been when Lucas was still around though so maybe Disney didn't cancel that one.

I read somewhere recently that for Transformers the movie from 1986 they decided to have a character say "shit" because that would guarantee them a PG rating. Which they wanted since movie theaters had more slots throughout the day for PG movies so they could make more money.

The silliness wasn’t even the worst thing for me about Love and Thunder. The worst thing was that in a world with flying cars, interstellar travel, arc reactors and time travel, cancer is still a serious disease that people actually get.

Every time I hear about this story it always blows my mind that Baldwin passed on a Tina Fey/Robert Carlock created 30 Rock spin off and made this little indie western instead. Because the Ted Danson show Mr. Mayor was supposed to be about Jack Donaghy and set in NYC.

I would still be surprised. The guy who played Darth Vader in return of the Jedi had profit participation in his contract but has never seen any of that money thanks to Hollywood Accounting. The Harry Potter movies have also famously never made a profit.

If it makes him feel any better that 2.5% of the "net proceeds" very likely worked out to zero dollars.

A wife having that important a job doesn't sound much like traditional marriage to me.

Not sure about Luanne. I mean she was dumb and easy to manipulate but she also seemed very caring. I am not sure she would be ok with some of Trump’s comments about women or the disabled or immigrants. And any things that other voters might see as “good” would probably be things she didn’t care about.

Is he really dead or is that just what he wants us (and the government) to think?

I am not sure if it deserves to make the list or not, but Hotel Transylvania was way better than any Adam Sandler movie had any right to be. And I have said many times that Mavis and Johnny’s relationship is the best (and least gross/creepy) vampire/human relationship I have ever seen in any movie or TV show.

You used to be able to get Anchor Steam here in Ontario and at one point it was the most expensive 6 pack on liquor store shelves. Now it is shelves full of single cans of NEIPA’s from breweries I have never heard of. Half the time when I buy beer I spend 10 minutes starting at all of them and realizing I don’t have…

Are you saying that Taylor Swift is really Taylor Glumplich.

This also feels like a self fulfilling prophecy kind of thing. Like studios start making fewer comedies. So comedy writers start doing more TV. So then you get some really good, funny TV shows. And now we’re at a point where if you are like Brett Goldstein or Tina Fey or Jermaine Clement why would you bother trying to…

The other big thing is that even as the population grows and new markets open up there are still only 52 weeks a year. So only 52 Fridays to release a movie. Combine that with the fact that opening weekend numbers are so important, since being the #1 movie is a big deal for marketing and because opening is when…

It seems kind of weird that in the first paragraph it talks about how these kinds of awards are not historically kind to women. But then the second paragraph talks about the crazy number of VMA’s Taylor Swift has won in her career, including a record setting 3 Video of the Year awards.

Ioved them too. But if you look back at say 1986 which I think is the year I saw Police Academy 3 for my birthday there isn’t a single animated kids movie in the Box Office Mojo top 20. Thirty years later in 2016 there was 7. That is a lot more theatre space taken up by those movies, and a lot more studio money…

I am not sure it is fair to lay all the blame at Marvel. Sure Marvel and super hero movies are a big part of the issue, but at the same time so are animated kids movies. I was a kid in the 80's and back then you got lots of classic comedies but maybe 1 or 2 animated kids movies a year that weren’t Disney re-releases.…

Unionizing the on set workers kind of makes sense. But if the post production workers were to unionize wouldn't the risk be that you would end up with a ton of that work being done overseas? I mean back when hand drawn animation was still a thing, isn't that why a ton of it (including things like 100's of episodes of…
