When the first The Force Awakens teaser came out, one AVClub comment wrote that his roommate took one look and said “TIEs in atmosphere? No thanks!”

I’m just a girl, towering over a boy, asking that he admit he loves me.

Any time you ask “do people know ...?” the answer is no. People don’t know things. 

Reminds me a lot of the old Starlog letter page archives I read where people are crapping all over The Empire Strikes Back calling it the destruction of the franchise and complaining that it just keeps making up new Jedi powers.

buddy over 50k people hand-wrote and hand-mailed angry letters to warner bros when michael keaton was cast as batman. same as it ever was.

I’m a fanboy? Huh, who knew...

In 1994, Tim Allen had the #1 movie, #1 show and #1 book in the same week (The Santa Clause, Home Improvement and Don’t Stand Too Close To A Naked Man, respectively.)

Home Improvement was a top-10 Nielsen show at the time, so yes? He wasn’t “movie star” big, but he was “TV star” big. Also, The Santa Clause had come out the year before and did pretty well for Disney. As for Toy Story not being meant for theaters, I never heard that before, and maybe you’re thinking of Toy Story 2…

Oh yeah, he was a pretty big star. He was on a highly rated network Sitcom and the Santa Clause film had come out the year before Toy Story and was a huge hit.

Let us not forget...

I don’t even have a problem with 3d animation, and that still seems like an insane opinion. I think Frozen is a very good movie, but Lilo and Stitch might be better in every category except music.

It’s always been bemusing that the world’s loudest-mouthed republic is obsessed with princesses. 

The part about Fisher you forgot to mention is that Warner’s did an in-house investigation and “addressed it.” And about ten seconds later Whedon was fired from his own show on HBO, The Nevers. Yeah there was definitely something to Ray Fisher’s allegations.

The tricky thing is that, as far as we know, the issue was the general atmosphere of favoritism, backbiting, and disrespect, rather than any big instances of bright-line harassment or criminality. If Joss was kind of manipulative shit to you on a low but persistent level, you can either just say “He was always kind of…

Yeah, poverty can’t possibly exist in the same place where there’s ukuleles.

Maybe it’s a dash of imposter syndrome on the part of the producers? They want Laura Linney, but don’t think their show is good enough to actually ask.

Just a guess, but for liability the jury can find the defendant liable by a preponderance of the evidence - which means the evidence had to tip the scales in favor of plaintiff by a tiny smidge more than 50% to get to a verdict. On the other hand, an award of punitive damages requires the finding that the defendant…

I mean, it’s not really an article, just a quick summary and quote from the people who actually interviewed her, wrote, and published the article, so

They probably didn’t go far enough with the meta angle. If it were a silly comedy about the making of a Buzz Lightyear movie, where the vain actor playing Buzz Lightyear has to embody the heroic qualities of his character, it probably would have gone over better (and yes, I realize that would just be a remake of…

The marketing hook of: “this is the film that made Andy want a buzz light year toy 26 years ago”, isn’t really much of a hook. No one ever gave a shit WHY Andy wanted a Buzz toy. It was irrelevant. All that mattered was it was a wildly popular toy. That was blatantly clear already and that was all that needed to be…
