Yeah, there’s no law against being an asshole, but when you’re a public asshole, people will treat you like you’re an asshole. Pretty basic math, right there.

Michelle Gomez playing a time traveler, eh. Can’t imagine what motivated that casting. (She’s great, I adore her, I adore Doom Patrol, so I am very very in)

I didn’t expect some kind of Monty Python references.

The core of the 20,000 Leagues narrative is the protagonists piecing together the backstory and goals of Captain Nemo. Like, he’s a mysterious figure with mysterious goals, and an ominous mien. Most of the conflict is peeling back those layers and uncovering his backstory.

It’s the line between “I want to like you, but you’ve disappointed me,” and “I never cared about you in the first place.”

The JMS/BBC news is very much a “don’t call us, we’ll call you,” from the sound of it. The BBC has their own process, and if by the end of that process they don’t have anyone, they might talk to JMS?

So, I think you could do a direct sequel to SR4 by simply leaning into the time travel element that they set up in the closing credits of SR4. At first, you get stranded in, say, the 1700s because the time machine broke. After the tutorial segment, you open up the open world and can bounce between the 1700s, the…

This is a movie that’s the most exactly what it says on the tin kind of movie. You go in expecting an arty horror film with a blend of ecological messaging and body horror, and you get exactly that.

The dude makes more movies in any given year than Roger Corman ever did.

Same diff. The familial tag isn’t the operative word here.

Fuck yeah, Brotherhood of Dada

“Coming Home In the Dark” reminds me of the noir film The Hitch-Hiker. Clearly, the newer film has a lot more going on in it, what with the backstory being hinted at, but at 70 minutes long, The Hitch-Hiker is worth watching:

Soon, like X-Files’ agent Moulder

“I couldn’t see her reaction, so I didn’t know I was hurting her,” says man who employed a sneering, hurtful tone, and dismissed a perfectly valid question with a weak joke.

And Eartha Kitt just wanted to be evil.

It’s at least also getting a PC release, according to it being on Steam, anyway:

I’mma gonna go on a rant here, but since you brought it up, Revolution of the Daleks 100% summarizes what’s wrong behind the camera.

I feel like the writing was mostly fine, but that the direction and editing is where things really fell apart. The production was clearly rushed at every step- you can see that they miss coverage in scenes, I’m pretty sure the actors end up improvising blocking because they don’t have time on set to block correctly,…

I’m likely describing it incredibly wrong- I just recall one of those behind the scenes things from 30 years ago where they mentioned in passing that they changed their process for Williams.
