The last thing Marvel/Disney wants is for any potential viewer of it's $250 million movies to think they're out of the loop if they don't watch 100 episodes of a bunch of TV shows. It's always going to be a one-way street.

Peoples' obsession with the lighting on this show never ceases to amuse me. How's the color timing working for all of you? Is that okay?

I'm curious what someone thinks it would take for that movie to be great. More boobs, maybe?

After a big musical number, which is something even the first movie doesn't have.

I saw it with a group and we all laughed our heads off. I agree it doesn't quite build up the psychotic intensity of the first movie, but I wasn't really bothered by the more low-key vibe.

The James Horner-esque music in the opening is great.

Pee Wee is already basically PG John Waters, so it might be a little on-the-nose.

I keep hearing good things about The Flash, but the show still feels like a twink fetish party every time I watch it. I may just be too old to look at all those very young people without feeling a little creepy.
With AOS, say what you want, but at least it has some adults on it.

Coulsen is the lead of this TV show. He's going to have more stature than a guest star, even if that guest star is playing the President. Also, it's been well established that the government doesn't know what the fuck to do about all these super-people, and the President's backing up the one guy that seems to be…

And Frankenstein is anti-science, Dracula is Christian propaganda, and the X-Files is pro-truther.

Fast And The Furious actually has both of those beat. But yeah, there have always been long-running series (James Bond, obviously), it just seems like these days you can't kill them with a stick.

You're half right. I think the stuff with the martians is gold, but they could have made the stuff with the actors a lot funnier.

If it had come out first it might have been a different ballgame.

I thought you were talking about Cloverfield.

From "Destroying A Dog" to head on a dog. It was Sarah Jessica Parker that got the canine attachment treatment, though. Pierce had to settle for simple de-nogginization.

I'd trade both of them for a Mars Attacks! sequel.

it wasn't that expensive.

Also, there's a lot of them, and Universal keeps cranking them out on a consistent schedule. I think we're past the age where franchises burn out and go away. If you keep making them, without extended breaks between entries, and without unnecessary cast turnover, a continuing series seems to be able to run forever…

Maybe Tomorrow Never Dies, but Bond movies are kind of their own thing.

If by "pointed out" you mean invented….
