I still find it amazing how much I enjoyed all of JW4, even with the runtime and that the series seemed to be building to a big final confrontation with the High Table and all we got was a proxy.

In a better universe the pitch would go:

It’s also weird to me to want to be mainstream but you’re making “8 figures” for a Netflix special.

I definitely got the impression from Katt that he got a rape scene changed into something that made the movie “twice as funny”. I mean, that’s a pretty low bar to clear, but yeah he certainly made it sound like they were going to put a rape scene in and he got it changed. Maybe they wouldn’t have shown the rape, but…

Yeah, looks like we just agree on some things and disagree on others.

The beauty of continuing The Expanse is that the next part of the story is set 30 years later.

Dolly Parton is a living American treasure, official or otherwise.

I know what you mean, but the thing about both Farscape and Lexx was the people making them had a particular vision for them, which just wouldn’t be the same now.

You may be right about the DS9 stuff. Thought Moore said he came up with the stuff about Sisko’s mother in the final season, but I read that interview about 15+ years ago now (might have even been more than one interview) and I can’t find it anywhere, so I can’t prove it.

Thought I remembered reading an interview with him saying he writes as he goes and that’s why he came up with the storyline concerning Sisko’s mother on-the-fly, the Pah-wraiths (I…

I probably will be once I start reading some of his work (I’m currently trying to find time to finish reading The Expanse series).

Agreed.

“masterful 2004 series” ...

Watch Shannon’s reaction after what Katt says at 1:32:25 regarding Chris Tucker.

I assume Barsanti doesn’t eat his vegetables and so has little use for real grocery stores.

It’s also always interesting when a interviewer wonders if they’re still going to have a show after the current interview airs.

“Williams refutes that charge but recalls urging producers to remove a rape scene from the script, believing it would make the movie 20% funnier.”

Thank you for this clip.

Yeah, though that seems unfortunately to have gone to the same film collection in the sky alongside copies of Dune by Jodorowsky.

Happy to give you “the Christopher Nolan experience” anytime at a grocery store, William. :D
