The problem with doing Dune even as a 10-hour miniseries is that the first hour would literally have to be all exposition. I recently watched the unauthorized TV cut on BBCA, which almost tries to do just that, and it was still a mess.
Harlan Ellison derisively referred to Dune as "King of Kings with sandworms."

To the best of my knowledge, the only permanent installation at Universal Studios (Florida edition) dedicated to their classic monsters is a restaurant in the middle of the park, before you get to the New York streets. It has some nifty themed dining rooms, but that's it. The Studios originally had a Ghostbusters

Yeah, I think the key is "least consistent." If she'd been allowed to settle in to one type of character from the beginning, I think she would have been fine.

Especially if they make it a Croque-Monsieur

Except for the fact that the new companion could be a sentient ham sandwich and some crowd is going to start 'shipping them within 10 minutes.

Anyone who works with both Woody Allen and Dario Argento is okay in my book.

The way Andre Braugher is able to express outrage (or any emotion, really) while still keeping his face completely passive never ceases to amaze me.

My fondest wish is that one of the AV Club reviewers is somehow transported back to the mid-60s and has to review the Beverly Hillbillies and Gilligan's Island.

Is it too late to Forrest Gump Bon Scott and his Superman t-shirt into Batman v. Superman? At least then we might think Supes has a fighting chance against Batman.

So, Disney announces they're doing an exhaustive search to find a young Han Solo, and not long after, announces a new Indy flick. Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth?

Don't forget Cathy Moriarty, who is spectacular in this.

*Adds big bada boom to watchlist*

The scene at the trial where she finally realizes she's been had is my favorite part of the whole first season.

It's almost like a dry-run for Watchmen. It updates a "classic" comic and sets it in the "real" world. However, it's far more overtly Nietzschean. And, ultimately, a lot more gory.

Miracle Man would make a spectacular HBO limited series (probably too expensive for Netflix). But it would definitely push Marvel's "no R-rated superheroes" policy.

I was eating breakfast and channel surfing the other morning and happened upon HBO Kids, which was showing an animated film….The Dark Knight Returns, part 2. The scenes of the Joker running through the amusement park indiscriminately blowing people's heads off were at least colorful, I'll give them that.

I still have my two-CD set "Never Mind the Mainstream: The Best of MTV's 120 Minutes." So, checkmate?

I would nominate Wormboy, from David Schow's short story Jerry's Kids Meet Wormboy. One of the funniest/vilest/most disgusting/greatest pieces of zombie fiction ever.

Star Trek Beyond just went in for reshoots, including adding a major character at the last minute. Maybe Pegg stretching wasn't the best idea in retrospect.

Yeah. The other one is dating Fozzie Bear, I believe.
