We live in the stupidest timeline.

There was a brief behind the scenes look they recently dropped on YT, and I was overjoyed that Keaton still does the full body turn, even though Im sure the costume designers have given him a more mobile and “don’t suffocate the 70 year old man inside” Batsuit.

I think this is on point, but I also think that a lot of people *hate* ambiguity in art, and so it’s not surprising to me that people would use AI as a means of resolving that tension. I think of things like the ending of The Sopranos, or how so many of Lost’s mysteries were never answered and the desperate need so

It really is an interesting phenomenon, I think it speaks to our desire to understand things and have answers. Maybe it stems from a primal fear of the unknown. I think people are hoping or believing that by expanding an image with AI it will add context to a piece of art so that they may better understand and enjoy

Now playing

Good Omens keeping the style for the opening credits makes me realize how much I miss their Little Talks.

I have real interest in this film, yes.  

That’s a really funny nickname for that.

I could give a rat’s ass about either Batman or The Flash, but they made Kara Zor-El look fucking epic. That’s what I’m going to see.

Sure - once it shows up on HBO. 

I think pretty much all the excitement is about Michael Keaton Batman. I had one of those 30 second ad spots served to me on YouTube recently and it was literally entirely Batman focused and ended with Keaton saying “I’m Batman” and then had the Flash logo.

Plus The Flash from the 1990 tv show, John Wesley Ship, played a version of the Flash on the CW show, besides playin the Gustin-Flash’s dad. I wish the movie had both of them, plus the other Flashes. Maximum Flashes.

Executive producer is usually a vanity credit in movies. And I don’t know that contributing to the scores is a problem either — were the scores what was wrong with those films? You stated that you’re fine with his musical output.

....after teaching a family how to captain a recently inherited sailboat.

Or the other sequel, where Childs survives and gets into a long fistfight over wearing some shades?

Maybe my heart will give up but I’m definitely watching The Thing 2.

I wanted so badly to like The Thing (2011), but two things got in the way:

J0hn Carpenter’s version of The Thing ended perfectly and is a really good, maybe even great movie altogether. And of course it is based on a landmark story from written science fiction. A sequel has a lot to live up to...

Are we ignoring The Thing sequel where MacReady survived and rescued the Presidents daughter from that island prison?

Magic fans have known this for about a year. The fact that all the racists are coming out of the woodwork now, when the mainstream announcement is made, tells you a lot about who is really getting angry at this: people who are threathened by pictures in a card game they don’t play. In other words immature, insecure

Canon is a fool’s stricture” Is this yours or an older quote? I ask because it sums up how I feel about a lot of the stupid complaints (not just racist ones) about entertainment properties I’ve seen, so I’m going to steal it.
