That’s not even a super-precise definition of queerbaiting, because it makes it sound like if you have any queer characters portrayed by non-queer actors then that’s it. Queerbaiting is the way more cynical practice of labeling a character or characters queer but then not having that be an actual part of their…

It can be two things!

I get that the point is Cavill being a huge 40k nerd, but I really don’t see any major star’s agent getting excited about their client being in a 40k project. It’s either going to be a bit part that could diminish drawing power long-term or it’s going to be so much makeup and costume that whoever’s under it is…

Exactly. It’s not a great show; I’m not sure how much of that is due to the source material or the show Game-of-Thrones-ing it up, but it has tone issues and Cavill seeming to both get and fit Geralt’s--IDK, exasperated stoicism?--helps smooth out the bumpiness. I don’t see Hemsworth maintaining that. If nothing else,…

ROBOT ROLL CALL

Resident Evil is gaming’s biggest horror franchise, sure, and if that’s all you mean by greatest, then OK. But if there’s any qualitative aspect to calling something the greatest, then that title goes to Silent Hill.

It’s pretty common in literature curricula, so you’re probably seeing a lot of scholastic/critical editions.

That’s due to the Soviets’ involvement being less “My God, the atrocities!” and more “Hey, you weren’t supposed to start the atrocities without us!” at least at first. 

Trying to force Keanu Reeves to be a romantic lead was such a typical talentless Hollywood exec move. It reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg joke about Hollywood wanting him to become an actor: “You’re a really good cook, but can you farm?”

similar to what Marvel did with Iron Man

Let’s just back up and think about this for a minute.

Anyone who knows knows that Larry the Cat has been the shadow regent for the past decade anyway.

Here comes the hotstepper

Come on, it was an obvious meander.

I think it took the second, maybe third time seeing the trailer for me to recognize Tom’s dad Colin Hanks, but it was just now ago that I realized Anna Paquin is also in this.

It was the push from beloved among specific groups to recognized by everyone. It’s possible to have a large and devoted fanbase without having mainstream recognition (and vice versa). Pre-”Amish Paradise” Weird Al wasn’t particularly well-known to non-fans: he was the “Eat It” guy if recognized at all.

The most mainstream movies/TV he appeared in up to that time were the Naked Gun movies, and the whole joke there was the irony of playing Weird Al as a huge celebrity. UHF grossed 6 million so it works against your point more than against it.

Almost 50, but thanks.
