It seems likely that Dune will get a re-release shortly before Part 2 comes out, so it should end up with pretty good numbers.

Oh, I don’t disagree. But (IMO) Party Down’s premise was simpler and pretty much fully explored by the time it ended. The only thing left to show is “where did the characters end up?”, and... I guess I don’t care very much.

A24 doesn’t have a 100% track record, obviously, but they don’t release stupid movies. And Jenny Slate is pretty terrific. So... there must be something to this, right?

So true. TBH I’d rather have another season of Children’s Hospital than PD.

I don’t think the Disney machine is a useful example. They have successfully monetized their classic stories by turning them into theme park rides, ice skating shows, theater productions, DTV and TV spin-offs, video games, breakfast cereals, etc., so live-action remakes are not a stretch.

What does “pitchy” mean? From the context I’m guessing it’s off-key, but I’m not familiar with this expression.

Sounds like Paramount’s science people presented their preliminary results on the characterization of COVID-22 to the execs.

It does look more like Mac. (And personality wise, that does seem to make more sense)

It was Romulan ale, not martinis. But yeah, Valeris did like the booze.

That was hard to watch. Damn.

Fingers crossed that “Untitled Hedy Lamarr Project“ works out.

From the content of the review my take home message is that it's kinda dull, with a few overt flaws. C+ sounds about right.

Really?! I always thought they were just friends.

He was terrific in The A-Team.

Michael McKean has done lots of great stuff, but he’ll always be (This is Spinal Tap) to me.

Surely it’s the former. How could Richard Ayoade be anything less than delightful?

So... it’s John Wick with ten fewer lines of dialogue?

“Legendary confirmed the sequel is underway, surprising absolutely no one.”

The theatrical cut of Donnie Darko is terrific and it holds up. I’d prefer to just leave it at that.

November is strange and wonderful.
