I cannot fathom why they keep doing this. Yes, “Pirates” made boatloads (ha!) of money, but it was only barely related to the ride. Every other time they’ve tried to adapt a ten-minute ride into a two hour movie it’s been a mess.

Wasn’t Big Thunder Mountain itself already a spinoff from “Song of the South?”

Of course, like Orobourous, Disney could very easily eat its own tail.

I only found out this movie existed last week, when, of all people, Gary Numan (yes, that one, fmaous in the 80's) posted about how “important” the message of this movie is.

All the memeing and dark jokes may seem pretty crass and callous, but there’s an upside: guys like Stockton Rush are all extremely online, and tend to try this sort of “disruptive” business plans as much for internet cred as they do for the money. So perhaps in the future disruptor-capitalist dudes will add “risk of…

“This is not to say this is a shoddy ship or anything, it’s just that this is all new technology and they’re learning it as they go along,” he said. “You have to just remember the early days of the space program or the early days of aviation, where you just make a lot of mistakes on the way to figuring out what…

I feel the same way. It feels like they’ve been grooming Vanna or Maggie for a while now.

Although Vanna’s guest stint hosting was pretty rough. It wasn’t BAD per se but it lacked the easy , slightly-corny charm the show is known for. As much as I cannot stand Sajak as an individual, he definitely has that show’s whole…

I watched through the whole first season and...

Well. There’s a germ of a good idea in there. But they seemed to ignore it entirely in favor of a fairly standard spies-need-macguffin kinda of story.

It could have been done well if they had taken the sort of ridiculous premise of “international spy agency with no…

Catch up. We pretty much hashed this particular one out five years ago.

I mean, I can see why they might have to rewrite bits of it; all those references to Judge Ito and Crystal Pepsi in “Under The Sea” just haven’t aged well.

The rest weren’t quite as good, but they were decent enough that I think they’ll probably make a decent series.  Especially if they incorporate the flashback/backstory stuff.

You’ll be pleased to know it’s none of those things!  Unless they deviate drastically from the books.

I’m pretty glad they’re diverging from the game. We had over a decade of the Walking Dead, Army of the Dead, World War Z, etc etc so frankly I’m a little burnt out on heavily-zombie-focused narratives. If I just wanted to see Joel fighting zombies week after week, I’d just play the game.

I also am hoping they diverge…

Honestly the ending of BSG was even not *awful* until the “modern” coda. It was definitely a show where they could never write a finale that lived up to expectations but up to a point they did a reasonably decent job - the assault on the Colony was well done and had good tension. But basically everything after the…

Pluto is so odd. LIke, I love that there are all these weird little esoteric channels like MST3K and Rifftrax and one of nothing but cute cat videos but I wonder how they manage to sell advertising for some of these channels. Maybe you buy “advertising on Pluto” and not “advertising on a specific channel” because I…

PACKERS WON THE SUPERBOWL! WOOO! PACKERS!

Ahh yes, her anti-authoritarian books, which take place at a [checks notes] British boarding school (albeit for wizards).

Yeah, _those_ kinds of schools never had any sort of rigid social and political hierarchy.

The whole book series fights to preserve a status quo, including a fundamental magical “aristocracy” that…

The Authority? That’s a..._wild_ choice.

The comics did plenty with the whole “Aging Peter Parker” motif (including that regrettable incident where future Mary Jane dies of a cancer that is said to have been brought on by radioactive spider-jizz, I shit you not) so there’s precedent for “Middle-Aged Spider-Man” grappling with life as a hero after his prime. 

Weirdly, Rebecca Black’s most recent stuff has been, dare I say, good? I mean, it’s mostly gen-Z-friendly hyperpop and such but as an example of that, it’s slickly produced, the videos are cool, and well-performed.

But if she’s cancelled by the Woke Mob (TM) what has she got left? Just her millions of pounds/dollars/euros and her castle and her publishing royalties in perpetuity!

That’s no way to live!
