But they still paid screenwriter(s), just not the writers of the original animated films. They haven’t saved any money by making live action versions of old films instead of any other live action film.

It can be two things, but one of these things isn’t actually a thing at all. 

They’re not paying the original screenwriters because they don’t have to, but to suggest that they are doing these remakes specifically because they can get away with not paying the original writers (but are presumably still paying screenwriters for the current films’ scripts) and not, say, because they’re bringing in…

Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the more perfect scripts and action films. Non-stop fun start to finish. 

Which would also match up with the bass of Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust”, right?

Hmm. I wonder if this means they’re scrapping the first draft that has been in the works for 9 months and was just completed.

The Willie Nelson statue in Austin looks pretty good, though it is automatically creepy as hell because putting up statues of people who are still alive is inherently creepy and wrong.

Iskenderun. Shit. I’m still only in Iskenderun.

A. Disagree. Harrison Ford was more zombie-like and dead-eyed in Crystal Skull than he was in Temple of Doom, where his character was literally in a trance-like state from a glorified witch doctor’s curse.

Archer having an English butler named Woodehouse always seemed like a Jeeves & Wooster reference (why he wasn’t just named Wodehouse, I never understood...)

While they’d references it with overt Halloween costumes a few times, this Simpsons reference to A Clockwork Orange always killed me. Mostly for how it mirrored the camera angles and music so perfectly. And it was one of the jokes I distinctly remembered seeing when it aired, and then was furious when it was cut from…

It’s a weird statement to make...coming from a middle aged white woman who the show has spent 4 or 5 seasons showing the moral and ethical depravity of. It inspires existential dread more than any glimmer of hope. 

Lots of Joker’s running around, causing havoc, and we’re not sure which one to take seriously...sounds like one of the Joker’s standard schemes.

That *might* make the bit land, but only if Peter says “He’s been a friggin’ cock the whole time” and then curb-stomps him. Credits. 

Appel says the pair engage in “an epic, many-minute-long fight...”

The fuck was that nonsense?

Another Bojack Horseman article already? Geez. 

Did Nolan fall for Soo’s ruse and confuse the two? Or was he merely stoking the real-life rivalry a century later?

More likely, and sad, this kind of shit happens a lot more than we all realize, and when someone antagonizes those in power, those in power finally get off their ass to do something about it. Because it is convenient for them. 

Wilson has not yet been booked into jail, according to the Austin Statesman, and it’s not even clear if he’s been arrested yet.

Tilda Swinton. No, Tony Clifton.
