Ortega was co-lead of the last two movies, which were big hits. She’s a household name among the target demo (gen zs who go to the cinema). Judging by the box office of the last one, they don’t care much about Campbell being missing, but I think the studio are underestimating how much of a draw Wednesday Adams is.

I thought the Kramer Vs Kramer...VS Godzilla joke was hilarious when I first heard it on DVD extras of Spinal Tap, 25 years ago. To be fair, it was really well delivered and in the context of a straight faced talking head from director Marty DiBergi. It loses a lot in print and out of context.

Poor Gary Ross...

Do the standees have any gameplay reward or unlock? I'm not a completionist, so I'm wondering if it's worth me buying them. Thanks.

Wandavision had one director and one clear head writer though. The early shows tended to be more like that, but they’ve definitely stepped away from it.

“I’m gonna Johnny Depp someone so hard they’re gonna want to crawl into a hole and die” - He means unfairly malign someone. I presume it’s purposely ambiguous, so people can assume he means “like Johnny Depp did to Herd” or “Like Herd did you Johnny Depp”, depending on their sympathies. If anything made more ambiguous…

Chasing Amy’s definitely my favourite of the three. I was thinking the other two probably had a larger impact, but really any of them deserve inclusion.

Fun list, but how are there not any Kevin Smith movies on there? Clerks and Mallrats were two of the first movies to really have protagonists obsessed with nerdy minutiae. We take pop culture savvy protagonists for granted now, but back in the 90s, it blew me away to see people on screen talking about Star Wars and…

Yeah, I've never mixed up Pullman and Paxton, they have such different vibes. But Pullman and Daniels I've confused many times.

I wouldn’t necessarily say this means the strike will last forever. WGA members have been saying for ages that this will happen as soon as the act of God clause kicks in. These are development deals, not shit that’s ready to go as soon as the strike ends, which is what the studios will be prioritising.

Most shite in Hollywood is not the fault of the writers. There’s a world of difference between having a good script and having a good finished product. Numerous other factors are in play; terrible studio notes, tight budgets, short schedules, actors , writers or directors falling short and of course various random…

Agreed 100%. They’ve lumped in a bunch of really bleak or super tense shows in that are a million miles from “cosy”. Lumping Happy Valley, Bloodlands and Like of Duty in some of the rest is like pretending lumping in True Detective with Murder She Wrote.

He could have negotiated a big up front fee, but Netflix wouldn’t pay him residuals. They won’t pay anyone* residuals. Not Paul, not The Rock, not the Russos. No one. And that’s what the strikes about.

Because it wasn’t a situation unique to his contract. He can’t change how residuals work for the whole industry.No other streamer was/is offering residuals. His choice was either to take a creatively fulfilling job with decent up front pay but no residuals for Netflix, or... any other job which also wouldn't have…

The pro monarchy propaganda in Britain is insanely powerful. You’re allowed to criticise the monarchy as an institution but no one ever publicly speaks ill of the Queen. Like I’ve literally never heard anyone say anything negative about her on TV or radio, before or after her death.

Just want to say that it's really nice to see artist credits under some of the pictures. All too rarely done. 

“51 Mins, you repeatedly and systematically facilitated and covered up sexual assault”

Yeah, “Feige was never that good” is a ridiculous take. You can’t give the comics source all the credit without acknowledging the countless shite superhero movies from the same source (Daredevil, Elektra, Fantastic Four, Amazing Spiderman, Punisher, Ghost Rider, etc, etc)

But Keenan and Kel was a big show with kids, so it made sense to me at the time that they’d get their own movie.

I’m an occasional Mark Miller defender* but Trouble was terrible. That said, every so often I’ll remember that the “twist” would mean that Aunt May in Spiderman is about 32 years old, which is objectively hilarious.
