Yeah, I feel like the Daniels should stay far away from mega-franchises.

Basically any good director - and some mediocre ones that happen to sell well - get dragged into the Star Wars/Marvel bagel of darkness.

I ended up learning of that recepie from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, where TBH they probably picked it specifically because of the name.

I haven’t seen such a hilarious cross cultural translation mishap since I saw the Hayao Miyazaki animated classic Castle in the Sky.

I think the mistake is the connotation is raunchier than they expected. It’d be like if you made a kid’s movie about a cat losing its hair and named it Bald Pussy.

wait, are you seriously arguing that producers at Netflix decided to name a children’s movie the Spanish equivalent of “blowjob”...on purpose? At no point is the meaning of ‘chupa’ mentioned in the trailer, so no idea where you got that idea in you addled mind.

Just admit you’re making a remake when you literally have no new ideas. Legacy stuff has to make some degree of sense. 

The description for Gattaca: The Series doesn’t sound like it takes place a generation after the movie. It just sounds like the movie, but substituting “former athlete” for “brother.”

Mandalorian S3E3: We Have Andor at Home.

I want to know why Bo-Katan, who of all people has never held this faction’s tenets as true, suddenly feels like keeping her helmet on all the time is a good idea.

I read through this article because after watching the first two episodes of Season 3, I felt the same way that I did after watching the first episode of TBoBF. It’s not engaging emotionally and the story isn’t very interesting. The only reason I finished watching TBoBF was for the Mando Season 2.5 stuff, and while…

The New Republic fell so quickly in the sequels because J.J. Abrams wanted Rebels Vs. Empire 2.0 and didn’t give a shit about exploring a situation that wasn’t 100% the same as the OT.

I wonder how the Pershing stuff would’ve played if they’d gone straight into season 3, instead of pushing it by over a year for The Book of Boba Fett. It wasn’t awful, but in a world where Andor exists, the comparison is unavoidable and unflattering. Not as smart, not as well thought out, not as intense, not as…

Just subscribe for a single month and binge the ones you most want to see. It takes a little discipline, but it beats subscribing to everything all the time.

If you consider that real life, trained and capable infectious disease researcher would start not with dissection, but blood samples and biopsies, you get some nice clean answers:

1. Avatar and Top Gun never had a chance to win the Oscar for Best Picture, and if you are a pop culture writer who legitimately thought they did, you need to do some serious consideration of how you approach your field. There was no glimmer of hope ever.

Except it *was* a big problem. If you read on the behind the scenes, a lot of the problems people had with the movie arised because of the insanely fast timeline. The scripts were rushed, the pre-prod was cut so short they didn’t have time to explore new concepts (hence so much recycling), and too many movies were…

I’d say “mockbuster” has a fairly specific meaning that it conveys pretty effectively.

Also surprised not to see Braveheart, if only to bitch about Gibson and historical inaccuracies.

Chicago is great cinema, and an amazing adaptation of a musical imo
