That person’s entire job is to evaluate whether their studio is likely to lose money or make money by purchasing the rights and spending money on P&A.

Useless fact! YouTube served me up Wiig guesting on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, and she says that Aunt Linda was based on someone she saw on an airplane who watched The Matrix and kept making “Whaaaa?” sounds.

Gotta say it was a great call NOT to bring back those characters that I think many of us long-timers are still pretty sick of (though it was a smart call of Target to throw an ad in last night) as I was genuinely dreading the return of most of them. The movie-reviewing Aunt was just enough.

He’s big enough to pass as a former football player, blonde and funny. Make him the DCU’s Booster Gold?

‘I’d like a big, prestigious job that pays a lot,’ says freelancer.

Reminds me a bit too of when Bruce Willis made Die Hard. The man was known as a romantic comedy lead from Moonlighting and it was deemed a huge risk to put him in an action movie that Sly and Arnold had turned down.

“Why do I have to have a female surfer?”

We can take this back to Michael Keaton playing Batman

Well having The Mandarin show up in Iron Man 3 didn’t stop The Mandarin from showing up in Shang-Chi. Maybe it unnecessarily shuffles the characters’ backstories, but I don’t see how it eliminates a character outright.

“Can’t wait to see the cute annoying kid they cast who has to teach the FF a moral lesson and help save the day!”

RIP Bucky Barnes in the category of best Marvel hair. You had a good run, bud.

*hurls DVD of “Blue Crush” at you*

Star-Lord, man! The legendary outlaw?

It’s gonna be funny to watch like most of a year of internet weirdos absolutely melting down about this only to have the movie come out and she’s just part of the setup to establish that this FF is from an alternate universe or timeline or whatever. I think it’s safe to assume every dumb goober on the internet is…

Like what Mike Flanagan did when The Midnight Club was released.

Yeah normally I’d either not care at all, or prefer to see it made in full, but for Westworld in particular, I’d actually be completely fine with, like, a 2,000-word summary of whatever season 5 would have been.

Four seasons and a musical.

I think Nolan and Joy have made some incredible stuff but they really struggle with some bad “mystery box” tendencies. Westworld had some very high highs but it certainly padded it out unnecessarily here and there.

I’d be perfectly okay with Nolan & Joy just telling us what the ending they had in mind was, so everyone (the audience, the cast, the crew) can move on to work and watch other things.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
