Can someone explain to me why a director’s opinion on Marvel films is ALWAYS supposed to specifically or uniquely significant?

I thought the same thing, but there’s every chance that it’s just a bad trailer. The amateurish sound mixing, histrionic music, OTT onscreen text, and excessive editing all point to the fact that it’s misrepresenting the film stylistically, if we are to rely on anything we know about Hill’s past work. The fact that…

Ah yes, moral grey areas.  That's what Star Wars is all about!  It's high time we stopped exploring the Light Side and the Dark Side of The Force, and dedicated some time to the dim bit in the middle!

Samantha Morton is the kind of actor who can convince me to watch things I wouldn’t otherwise be interested in. I may have said this on here before but regardless of the role or the depth of the material she always gives the impression of reaching deep within herself to give something truthful.

I did 4K77 recently, honestly the first time since VHS I think, and I was struck by what a deliberate cop-out Garindan is. I mean I have been struck by quite a lot of rather baffling choices by Mr Lucas over the years, but I’d recently read Paul Hirsch’s book which provided further evidence, if any were still necessary…

I guess that’s what renders the decision to give Queer As Folk another do-over so very baffling in the first place.

I think Rusty’s original show was rather more about such a specific place and time, that the specificity opened the show up to the universal experience (which may be why I, a non-queer person, fell so…

They should get largely forgotten 80s goth band The March Violets to do it. But like, the dark gloomy version from before they had a pop hit on the soundtrack to “Some Kind Of Wonderful”.

“(Skywalker Sound’s Matthew Wood says he tried to pull back on requests for tweaks to the lines as the situation in the country escalated, “But the Respeecher team’s attitude, he says, was: ‘Let’s work, let’s work in the face of this adversity, let’s persevere.’”)“

Why are we all approaching this from some weird perspective where this warrants interrogation?  It's pretty unremarkable that both shows would have the same theme song.  Prequels and sequels sharing musical cues is extreeeeemely normal.

Uh I don’t think “but I already want to fuck her” is the best riposte here.

Isn’t this just, y’know, a perfectly valid creative choice? Does it need “explaining”?

When did this kind of thing become news? Streaming may still be somewhat novel in the scheme of things but this is just normal industry machinations.

The book just about survives on goodwill, I think it’s a damp squib in terms of thrills but the idea of King re-interrogating his own iconic and autobiographical work falls somewhere between curious and compelling.

Steven Moffat’s not exactly the greatest writer of all time though is he.

I genuinely think that Avatar’s true impact on the culture is simply that it was the film that television retailers used to demonstrate picture quality for a long time.

It wasn’t a very good movie.

We haven’t got to the end of the season yet so this may seem premature, but the prevailing problem with the show for mine (which I’m overall enjoying, as someone who never really got into GoT, show or books) is that it’s moving too quickly.

So like. Fucking recast them. Who on planet earth is going “we’ve come too far with our Flash movie to walk back our commitment to a deeply unwell and possibly bad person who is the subject of allegations which if substantiated would be both illegal and profoundly troubling”???

The last place you left them.  They haven't moved from there.  See?  Proves it.

Yeah I’m over here marvelling at the idea that Papa Roach would be going concern for anyone, much less a headbanger.
