The TV landscape (blasted heath/cursed lands/desolation of Smaug) is getting more and more littered with forever unfinished stories. That sucks for viewers. Leaving aside the question of the relative merits of each cancelled show (that’s about nine hundred valid and fun debates), it’s a brutal reminder that creatives…

Noooo!! That was one of the best adaptations of any William Gibson work... Hopefully they can shop it around and find a new studio.

As I understand it, the unions don’t support consumer action (yet) because it could lead to more cancellations of in-progress shows.

You know, I was thinking about this, as (rightly) so many YouTube channels are highlighting the strikes. Not to be too Keynesian about it, but I wonder if we could work up to a cancel day. There’s obviously appetite for content (durr, this site among many) and I’m in full solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strike, and now…

I think you’re giving Filoni wayyyyyyyy too much credit in terms of his ability to maneuver an increasingly kluge’d together canon. I know thats what he’s going to try and do but the problem isn’t the length of the ST, it’s the “world state” that exists at the start and then what happens during.

At this point, I’m thinking that the best way to faithfully make a Foundation production is a stageplay for theater with zero props beyond basic costuming.

Your reasoning is sound; your argument solid.

A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…

The more infill content they do, the more the way the sequel trilogy binds them is going to stand in stark relief. The battles that Ahsoka, Mando, Grogu and other characters fight will never be able to show lasting, perpetual gains for the normal parts of the galaxy because it all has to be reverted back to the…

Disney+ has a curated list of key Ahsoka episodes from Clone Wars and Rebels to watch before this show comes out. I watched them and it was very helpful. If you’re really pressed for time watch the last three episodes of Clone Wars that take place over the backdrop of Revenge of the Sith (they’re incredible) and some…

Even more than an open crawl, I would love an open crawl with an obvious typo. The Star Wars fan / grammar nerd crossover veiwer would lose their minds

20 hours, that is a long time.  Who has 20 hours?

This blurb from one of the reviews claims that you can pick it up without any pre-knowledge of the other shows.

If only people had as much interest in Earth history. I guess Star Wars is similar in that it repeats itself, because people don’t learn from it. 

I’ve already given a list to several people of the episodes they need to watch and which they can skip (which is more than I thought)

“Godzilla’s attempted rebranding to ‘friend of all children’ was also halted with an abrupt cease-and-desist from Gamera’s legal team.”

Yeah. 90s action movies were leaning more into not taking themselves too seriously. Things were done with more of a nudge and a wink to the audience. The epitome of that probably being something like Last Action Hero or Demolition Man.

This is still the only movie I’ve ever seen where I felt like “3D” actually added anything to the experience of watching the movie.

I’m thinking less action movies, and more adventure-comedy for kids. Think Jumanji, Small Soldiers, Inspector Gadget (but not shit like the last one). All those movies were kids or a family get saddled with something weird going on and then they have to solve the hijinks with the help of funny adults. The trailers…

Coraline is great, and it’s proving surprisingly popular, but I think theaters in general don’t realize that re-releases can be mildly profitable during slower months. Usually these days it’s only done on big anniversaries, or occasionally a movie like Elf will replay during Christmas, but unless it’s a huge event…
