I'd say this lawsuit is more of a MacGuffin.

Because a little extra context never hurts:

I had a couple of engineering students for college roommates. We actually got along fine and they seemed to genuinely enjoy the company of an art student. I turned them on to Holt’s “The Planets” along with some Bernard Herrmann. Both had the oddest sense of humor, like machines trying to replicate something they…

Nothing personal, but god, how I hated that fucking prop. It takes up a huge amount of space and does nothing but make a couple of fluorescent bulbs flicker.   It was dumb in the original “Alien Nation” and dumber in every other episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” 

My childhood overlapped a big chunk of these movies. The original “Godzilla” was a regular on weekend afternoon TV and, even then, struck me as an especially grim, fatalistic movie (and I watched EVERY fifties atomic monster movie that hit the tube around this time.)

Call me when they reboot “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “Green Acres,” and “Petticoat Junction” and then use them to do crossovers with EVERY show on CBS. 

Of course the only proper way to make Play-Doh cookies is to bake them in an Easy-Bake oven.

Here's a little trivia. The owner of my local bakery says that people (myself included) confuse sugar cookies with butter cookies all the time, referring to the Classic Christmas cookie as a butter cookie.

I’m pretty sure the powers that be foresaw all this back in the fifties, which is why Play-Doh is basically just flour and water with a little food coloring. I’m sure their customer service phone line has been reassuring anxious parents about “accidents” since Ike was in office.

Yet someone here who has never seen a movie made before 2009 thinks that it “massively shaped the way blockbusters are made.” How adorable.

Cameron has his own bathysphere. Perhaps we could fill the ballast tanks with lead and send both these nut jobs down in it.

Streaming *yawn*

Disney has made it very clear they are going to be very aggressive about blending theatrical and VOD releases. I’m sure they will take a close look at this movie, preview/focus group the hell out of it, and act accordingly based on public reaction. I imagine a short theatrical window with a quick slide over to Disney…

I hear Julie Taymor is available and has some absolutely WILD ideas. What could possibly go wrong? 

Given that last album, 15 or so years ago and that after a two decade wait, I don’t have high expectations. I definitely get obsessive perfectionism but when no one but Kevin Shields can appreciate it I don’t see the point and the clock is running down fast on this band to deliver anything of significance again. 

Jesus, the casting on this is nightmarishly bad and just keeps getting worse. There have to be far, far better character actors out there who could play these roles than this bullshit stunt casting.

There will only ever be one king, and no one is ever going to take away his crown...

So this 70-year old guy, who doesn’t even have an extensive track record, whose one hit show crashed, burned and thoroughly alienated its fans in its last season and who hasn’t finished his novel in the past decade, gets $50,000,000 to shitball ideas for five years. Assuming any of his idea-turds get greenlit, that…

It’s great that Walters had a good late career run and found a new generation of fans but she will always be the queen of seventies television to me. Look up her resume, she was in everything and played multiple roles on multiple shows, she was in such high demand. 

Are there Moon Worms on the Worm Moon?
