That same logic applies over in animation.

Nah, copyright is not determined by usage. Once Steamboat Willie enters public domain, that specific version of Mickey Mouse will enter it as well. Now, anything that Disney added to the character’s design or story after that will not be public domain. That includes design elements like the white gloves, his…

Ali Selim is 63 years old and has directed hundreds of commercials and several films and won several awards. What he’s saying is what a director would say, not what people who don’t know his job want him to say.

Editorial just can’t figure out that a world that hates and fears mutants is going to hate and fear mutants even if there are millions of them. Grant Morrison nailed this dynamic perfectly post-Genosha genocide. Mutants entered the zeitgeist, they got humans who loved and hated them, politicians treated them like…

During the “break”, Netflix is seeking an AI product manager, presumably so they can give shows without writers or actors the old college try.

Ohhhh, this is directed by Jeff Rowe (Mitchells vs. the Machines)?? No wonder it looks cool. I’m there. 

Today’s Mattel quotes all answer the question “how long will it take them to learn the wrong lessons from Barbie?” Less than a week.

There’s a 30 Rock quote I find highly applicable to situations like these:

I suspect Barbie is going to be lightning in a bottle; I have trouble imagining Mattel’s B- and C-list properties doing anywhere near as well. You’d think this would have reinvigorated Masters of the Universe or Hot Wheels; those were both more popular and a little easier to imagine a direction for a movie to go in…

Can anyone take that Saw X poster and edit it to replace the guy with Elon Musk screaming instead?

Okay, fine.

this! 

extremis can’t rebuild a heart. It’s not the first time someone with Extremis was killed by a hole to the chest, that’s how Tony killed Eric Savin in Iron man 3

Disney+ has delivered a nearly unbroken string of shows rated 90+% among audiences and critics (and, no, it’s a myth that critics only watch the first two episodes, you can see they rate all the episodes highly). Their success rate for shows is far better than their success rate for movies. The two lowest-rated MCU…

He gives a big old speech about how he was broken by having to kill one innocent person and the only way he can share his pain is to kill ALL of the innocent people and maybe a bunch of Skrulls?

The President declaring Skrulls Enemy #1 should have happened in Episode 1. The stakes would have been much, much, much higher for absolutely every character.

Marvel is increasingly showing this weird habit of taking really high-minded modern ideas and then sanitizing them so they’re toothless or demonizing them to the point that the ideas themselves are dangerous before throwing them away so no one can ever talk about them again. I think this has to be the worst, most…

I really can’t stand the school setting but it’s more of The Boys —plus Clancy Brown?!? So, of course, I am going to watch it.

TMNT started that way too and for some reason, the premise of turtles becoming ninjas stuck with audiences and next thing you know they became the thing they made fun of.
