It’s a safe bet we are never going to see any of that shit after Orci/Kurzman/Webb ran it into the ground. Honestly I got tired of the Osborn stuff in the PS4 game. I never need to hear about it again. It’s really not even that crucial to the character’s origins, especially with Stark now in the rich benefactor role.

“It’ll be a while,” Feige told io9 when asked about bringing the X-Men into the MCU. “It’s all just beginning and the five-year plan that we’ve been working on, we were working on before any of that was set. So really it’s much more, for us, less about specifics of when and where [the X-Men will appear] right now and…

IMHO, Fantastic Four would slide into the MCU much easier than X-Men. We’re already leaning more towards the cosmic, and while we have Star-Lord and Captain Marvel as ex-pat Earthers, we don’t yet have a space-faring Earth-based team. Somebody needs to be that bridge (other than Thor, Heimdall, and the Bifrost).

SF is like a supercar - beautiful to look at and fun to experience, but crushingly expensive to maintain (live in) and not actually nice to use in day-to-day life.

San Francisco is two things:

Wait, you got *paid* to spend your day doing that? Where do I sign up?

There is a cure for this show, and it is called ‘The Orville.’

I expect people who earn the salaries of professional writers hired by a major company to have even the smallest shred of talent to tell a story and decency not to pay some small respect to the 50 years that came before them.

I expect that studios take a look at the work history of those they’re hiring and the…

Kurtzman is the showrunner... One of the worst hacks working in Hollywood. So what did you expect?

It is painful seeing how they’re just cannibalizing any bits and pieces they can get their grubby hands on from canon Trek rather than coming up with their own stories. Not just ideas, plot points, and themes, but to actually try and shove anything you might remember from the original series down the audience throat…

Sony’s attempt at a Spider Cinematic Universe looks so pathetic since they let Marvel have Spider-Man for the MCU. 

I wonder if Harris is playing Dr Connor, aka The Lizard? The Lizard/Connor was trying to get a sample of Morbius’ blood to cure his own condition (so was Spider-man to cure his own condition of having grown 2 extra sets of arms, but I doubt Spider-man will be in the movie.)

I feel like the Sony execs, driven mad on money and power for somehow managing to make Venom and Spider-verse “work” are just gonna throw a bunch of shit at the wall now and see what else will strike spider-gold.  The problem is that nothing is gonna have the style and heart of Spider-verse to carry them.   And there…

Into the Jared-verse

My strategy was to do it as fast as possible, and hope that not many people would see me

In the masquerade at the 1972 World SF Convention in Los Angeles, there was a guy entered the competition whose brother did a comic I’d never heard of before, called The Turd. The guy had decided to cover himself in peanut butter, and that was his costume. By the end of masquerade a few hours later, his peanut butter…

Could have been worse.  They have fire ants in Texas, don’t they?

Well, good thing I’m using it the colloquial way described in definition 2 here and sorry if you’ve never heard the word before but also fuck off for trying to defend him: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rapey

If your behavior is so bad that women name an anti-groping shielding maneuver after you,…

I hear he’s so excited that he could hug someone!

Just the recollection of this particular revelation has raised the gooseflesh on my arms and neck. It actually supplanted “the call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!” in terms of movie moments that made me audibly gasp.
