I was going off Disney+ which says it’s 109 minutes. So if the opening got tightened up by 8 to 9 minutes that would have helped.
Of course, the probability of me seeing it again is fairly low so all this is pretty much moot!

Don’t forget that last July ILM hired the YouTuber know as Shamook whose deepfake channel is noted for “fixing” Luke’s appearance in The Mandalorian. Luke in TBoBF is probably the proper beginning of D+/ILM running the table with characters played by actors that are either old or dead.

I concur. My wife and I watched it this weekend. Good story but the songs have a sameness. Moana was stronger in the song department. Also, some songs were too fast to comprehend.

My boys, 8 and 12, bowed out after 20 minutes and went and did something else. They’re usually pretty game for a movie but the beginning…

So, we all know the Nebula and Hugo Award-winning elephant in the room is Larry Niven’s Ringworld, right?

Fun fact: Return of the Jedi is the laziest, cheapest, worst acted, and worst written filmed property in the entire Star Wars franchise. George could have wrapped up the OT a million good ways....but he made that.

The hint about Dafoe’s comedy style is Bobby Peru. Case closed.

All the Dr. Strange ITMOM re-shoots/pick-ups stuff is because Dr. Strange was supposed to open before Spider-Man NWH. So when they flipped the schedule they had to alter it drastically to reflect the events of NWH. Conversely, NWH had to change scenes to match up what’s known about the Multiverse at that point.

If you mean Noel tells expendable bandmembers “play this” and hands lyric sheets to his emotionally damaged brother, then sure, Oasis writes their own songs.
My favorite stories about Oasis are the ones where Liam has a tantrum and won’t go on stage so Noel sings the whole show. And no fans ever complain, because they…

“But fans won’t have to wait quite as long for season three; it is filming back-to-back with the second season, and is currently in production.”

Just spitballin’ here, but might this have to do with Patrick Stewart being 81 years old? And in ST:Picard he didn’t seem particularly spry.

This was the MO for Batman: Brave and the Bold. C-List Silver Age villians. Clock-King, Kiteman, Crazy Quilt, Mirror Man, Gentleman Ghost, etc. Batman isn’t angst-y either. He’s a smart, very patient, superhero detective surrounded by crazy people. Great show.

Just replace “sour” with “salty”.

Johnston also directed Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Jumanji, and Jurassic Park III.
MOST IMPORTANTLY...he designed the Millennium Falcon. The original design was too close to the Eagle from Space 1999. He had just weeks to do it because of FX work and set-building. A true national hero.

And this is why love the Batman: Brave & The Bold series. A sane, smart Batman barely, but politely, tolerating the clueless buffoons (Aquaman!) and monologuing C-level archvillians (Kiteman!) he’s forced to deal with everyday. Occasionally goes gritty to even things out.

The director talks about Rockefeller Center in this Collider article:

This Futurama Discovery card joke has existed in my head continuously since I saw this episode 22 years ago.

My 8yo just saw the trailer 3 minutes ago. I could suffer the first one the numerous times he watched it, but this one looks dismal.

Spider-Man 4 is already in the planning stages plus there’s a contractual MCU team-up movie that goes with it. Also, the end of Venom: Let There Be Carnage teased Spider-Man big time for a Venom 3.
Holland is going to hoover up that Sony/Disney $$$ until.....the late 2040's, maybe?

Well, technically Jonathan and Christopher Nolan killed him by writing all the characters as intelligent people who are really not very bright.

This year I took a Blu-ray rip of 2012's The Avengers and cropped it to 2:1 so it wouldn’t look like a f’n TV show anymore.
I am obviously not Disney+’s intended audience.

It only works as a family film because kids won’t get the Jackson Pollock/semen joke.
