Sony just needs to accept they can’t use the characters as well as marvel and work out some deal to produce/finance marvel studios movies with the characters they own. Given the money the new spidey movies are raking in. I don’t get why they haven’t just caved already. Even if they gotta share profits, the massive…

I don’t think there’s any reason to think that Leto’s desire to use method acting is any less genuine that Daniel Day-Lewis’s or (to put it another way) that Lewis doesn’t engage in method acting in part to generate attention.  I think the difference is that Lewis is truly an exceptional actor, so we are more willing…

I’m IATSE here in the states and I’m seeing red just seeing this. We’re having problems over here with them just paying the meal penalty rather than letting us take lunch (I remember just sitting down in the dirt and crying because we were getting meal penaltied again after five straight weeks, and we were already…

In my experience, it’s not really management that needs to take a pay reduction (or whose pay makes up a significant amount of the budget to begin with). It’s “leaders.” Executives. The C-suite. They are paid hundreds of times more than the lowest-paid workers. They aren’t managers, and their work is overvalued.

Netflix could increase the pay of a thousand workers by $5K annually with the just the amount of compensation increase that Reed Hastings received between 2019 and 2020. Investors love to shrug off ballooning CEO pay because it’s pennies compared to company revenue totals at the end of the day. No one ever seems to…

I’m in the Editor’s guild local 700. Been watching this approach for a couple months now. It’s a shame that it’s come to this, but emblematic of a much larger problem. Management salaries have continued to balloon while employee pay has stagnated, and it’s beginning to reach a tipping point where workers are fucking…

I agree with you on the inane redesign, but this author didn’t do it and doesn’t deserve to have your anger directed at him. He’s probably just as powerless as we are on the matter. Want to send a message? Contact Kinja support.

You are not wrong. Not having a “latest” link for io9 means that I just don’t go to that page anymore. Don’t know if I’m missing anything or not, but that’s just the way it goes.

You’re right, Eufy is not a small company.

I hope that guy has a bidet.

I know the guy with the glowing sword for a hand: It’s Razor-Fist, the Man With Razors for Fists! One version or another of this character has been bopping around and periodically getting killed and replaced with his brother (?) for decades. Look at him!

Age of Ultron really isn’t that bad - flawed, yes, but not bad - and the blame for its flaws is not entirely Whedon’s fault - there is a reason Feigue moved to get rid of Perlmutter and the story comittee after AoU.

“Basically, whatever it ends up being, it should be very unique and fun.”

This might be a hot take but I personally think Favreau is just a very average film maker who often fumbles tension. If we are talking Mandalorian writers/directors I would much rather see Rick Famuyiwa take on a movie. The two episode he wrote that costar Bill Burr are easily the best Mando episodes imo. 

My ideal Star Wars project would be Dave Filoni and Rian Johnson teaming up and doing whatever the fuck they want. That is all.

I know we don’t know all the facts, but it’s crazy to me that so many people think he is doing this for fame. When has this type of thing ever propelled an accuser to fame and riches? There is no way, when he started this, he didn’t think it was probably going to be career suicide.

“This design was really a collaborative effort between Nick Spencer, Editor Nick Lowe, and I,” Weaver told Marvel.com of the process.

Nailed it.

Was planning on getting the vaccine, but this being in slide show format is making me reconsider.
