For some reason Riddickulus 3 hasn't led to a Riddickulus 4, I can't imagine why…

Have you BEEN to Salem these days? Especially on/around Hallowe'en? The witches have definitely won the Long Game.

Strangely enough, this is what happens in the film! I suspect a very poorly understood cribbing from the Angelus/Angel plot in BTVS…

Well, yes and no. He's a Maia — a minor god aka archangel himself — incarnated on Middle-earth, which is why he stays unchanged for centuries, always the same age — all the Wizards were — but his body isn't indestructible, so he can be killed by something equally powerful — and a Balrog is another Maia who incarnated

But remember, he has to wish upon a star, too!

HIS PARENTS FAMILY ARE DEAD!!! DARKNESS!!! NO FAMILY!!!

And they're bringing us Clash of the Titans 3 that whitewashed Gods of Egypt movie next year! Putting my bets in now for a sub-20% RT score and a belly-flop that will make this look like a splash in a puddle…

You don't want to go see Seventh Son 2: The Second Coming (On An Airplane) right away in theatres? Why ever not?

That is the kind of thing that would make sense, but this is Hollywood we're talking about.

There is so much that Eisner Junior and/or Diesel and Diesel's writing team (this was his pet project, based on his own D&D character, according to various production era articles about this mess, so it's fair to call them his minions) stole from other, better (and some worse) fantasy creators. Some of it's extremely

Awww! You didn't say "They chose…poorly!"

You'd think someone who boasts so of being "edgy" wouldn't leap to that tired cliche of "(Consensual) Kink = signifier of Evil," a cliche so tired it was mouldy and shopworn in 1990 when it was the go-to shorthand for villainy in historical romances set in the Middle Ages and sold in supermarkets — make the bad guy

That would be Green Lantern and Pan Greg Berlanti, no? Or does he have an evil/idiot twin, also named Greg, who only does movie series (but can't get them off the ground)?

You no-pants jackanapes, you!

Yes, but as made by the guy responsible for Green Lantern and Pan! Can't leave out the important part!

Selling 70-dollar T-shirts "for working in the garden" is also a vehemently unlikeable thing. As she did.

They're going to MAKE us embrace their Gritty Reimaginings somehow! They may have to pipe drugs into the auditoriums at screenings, but they're going to win audiences over to their UCU by hook or by crook…

You forgot Jon "I RIPPED OFF DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN & GOT AWAY WITH IT" Spaihts in there!

And yet, some of us thought that Karloff's Imhotep was awfully attractive and had a lot more going for him than the Generic White Guy who was supposed to be the Heartthrob… (Some of us may have wondered if that made us abnormal, as teenage girls, and why we weren't interested in the Preppie Dudes we were meant to find

Oooh, you may be right — I was thinking "ripoff of SHE" but that works, too!
