Copyright is automatic on everything. You can register a copyright, but it only really makes any future lawsuits regarding that copyright easier by having legal records with date stamps, it’s not strictly necessary. If they actually tried to get a registered copyright, that would be, honestly, quite weird and a very…

The article says he also copyrighted it. I’ve never been through the copyright process personally, but do you not need to prove the material you’re copyrighting is original?

Russian dressing + pickle relish = 1000 Island, so you can just cut 1000 Island with mayo. Me, I usually just use the dressing straight – it’s not quite the same but it’s close enough most of the time. I do have a slightly more complicated, much tastier recipe based on the one from the McD’s corporate chef (https://the…

Even easier, Great Value/Walmart 1000 island sauce straight from the bottle. Far more bland and watery than name brand 1000 isl, and a dead ringer for “special sauce”. (Got some for in a pinch for Reubens once, it did not go over well)

“Who the FUCK told you that shit?! Tell me muthfuka or so help me!”

Those text messages were dark as hell. Hard to believe his lawyers thought they would make him look good.

Yeah I mean, I don’t really disagree with the critiques, there’s lots you could’ve done, but the moment you pick Illumination you’re sort of signalling you’re looking for mass appeal that is guaranteed to do numbers rather than anything innovative.

Two And A Half Mandalorians.

Ahh ok so you know where I am: I can drive down the mountain to go to the Mahoning Valley Cinema to see a movie for eight and a half bucks or drive down to Allentown and pay a lot more.

I’m sure it will all be resolved in the Skywalker Saga Sequel Special Edition Trilogy, coming to theaters in summer 2032.

There’s a chain called LOOK Cinemas that has a location near us (Glendale). They’ve got 12 locations spread all over the country. Tickets are $13-15 during prime time but they also have $6 tickets for the first show of the day (unclear if it’s the first show of each movie, which might be on multiple screens, or the…

As much as I do enjoy watching Din and Grogu: the fact that they, and the Mandalorians in general have no appearances or impact on the later Star Wars story lines is somewhat concerning in a continuity sense. How do the writers plan to deal with none of them appearing or even being referenced in the sequel movies? I…

Fortunately I don’t watch the show anymore. It’s sad that it’s reasonable for me to say that.

Holy shit — the Boba Fett feature was that consequential? That’s absolutely infuriating.

I also think that they may give it as an Essential tier title in a few months. Just prior to SM2 launching. kinda like what Fallen Order did earlier this year.

Was that a typo? I think you meant “Paul W.S. Anderson makes a lot of shit”.

Sorry for correcting you, but I know if I said something like that, I’d want someone to help me out. 

I’ve always thought this was the way forward for small indie theaters. I used to teach at a big state school in a very rural area. Basically, whenever the students return, the town doubles in size. And in the middle of the downtown area, just south of campus, is a shuttered old theater. It has amazing art deco style…

There is an indie theater in my city that works like this, and I think it’s how it manages to survive. (It’s also pretty good proof of concept that this can work even without a celebrity backer). The people at my local theater work hard to carve out this niche. They’ll have 1 or 2 first-run movies playing on the big…

Yeah, he’s said for a while now, including the Fatman Beyond episode last night, that they’re making pretty much all their money from showing old movies rather than the new releases.  Although he did mention that both he and his manager were shocked when they had a crowd show up for the Mario Bros movie this weekend.…

Niche programming is a benefit. Especially in communities with underserved subcultures. I have no doubt that the single screen in my parents little podunk town would benefit from some weekly midnight Rocky Horror screenings. The goth and queer kids could use the fun.
