Yeah, let’s not invite fate.

It helps immensely that the film begins with the card “Dune: Part One,” because then you realize this two-and-a-half-hour movie, much like the first and second Lord of the Rings, was made on the hope and prayer we’d get to see another.

Can’t wait for the follow up article: “How to avoid all contact with your roommate after your ill-advised hookup blew up in your face but you’ve got 6 months left on the lease and can’t afford to live alone”.

“The UK-based Goldstein—whose IMDB page also lists him as having recently appeared in Dr. Who and the TV movie Spaced Out—may have been the first fully CGI character on television had the rumors been true.”

So the first book (Eye of the World) is fairly purposefully set up as a LoTR pastiche to sort of suck you into that sort of fantasy novel. But it quickly diverges from there (while still keeping the Hero’s Journey template). There’s a lot more politics involved, wildly differing cultures among the humans, soul…

But the crust is the best part!

I noticed it on episode one to the point that when we watch my wife goes “yes yes he looks like a computer character”.

Missed article title opportunity: “He’s not here, he’s not there, he’s not any-fucking-where. Is Roy Kent CGI?”

I disagree. first of all, the experts in the 90's were predicting that the internet would have a huge impact on our lives, even in the early 90's. they weren’t always correct about exactly how that would happen, but literally NOBODY thought the internet would be a “passing fad”. The previous decade saw PCs go from an…

The director is clearly trying to pull the wool over your eyes. 

Bleah. What are you doing, TWD? What are we even doing here anymore?

She’s too busy with her new job murdering people on Twitter

Yes. We must draw the line at capriciously knocking over coffee mugs, walking on keyboards, and and sticking bums into people’s faces

This has been happening on and off for at least 25 years. Let the cat-teens have their fun, many move on to other fun expressions of their individuality, some don’t. It’s harmless (so long as they’re using careful techniques when using that one kid starts suggesting leashes and knots). If you police it, it’s just that…

If you’re nerdy enough to have a floppy disk drive you’re nerdy enough to have a computer that’s off the network.

“I felt disappointed by Star Wars that my character was killed. And, actually, in the script, she wasn’t killed. It happened during filming. And it was much more just to do with the time we had to do the scenes ... When we came to filming, as far as I was concerned and was aware, when it came to filming that scene,…

While Johansson should get a cut of streaming like she would from DVD releases, coming out swinging and blaming streaming and a limited box office that was beyond the control of Disney is a dick move...

The fact ScarJo would be fine if Disney never paid her a red scent doesn’t in any way diminish their obligation to either fulfill her contract or renegotiate it.

A contract is a contract, and the law is the law, doesn’t matter if you have $1 to your name or $1,000,000,000. And if Scarlett didn’t sue, it’s not like the money is going to farmers in the developing world or something. It would line Disney’s already substantial pockets.
