Because the ones you had to watch what you say around - parents, teachers, bosses - were figures of authority whom you were obliged to respect.

I think it’s a balance. Yes, the act of adaptation requires change, for practical reasons if nothing else; a film or a TV show works differently than a book. But the concept should still be honoured, or else why bother adapting it? If the creator wants to “make the story their own” why not ... make their own story?…

I don’t think that Legolas was alive in the second age, probably, but it would be far from the most canonically wrong thing this show has done to include him.

See, I don’t buy this argument at all, that it’s all the streamers’ fault, messing with what was fundamentally good cinematography. Because you know what movies I never complain about being too dark when watching on Netflix or Max or whatever streaming device I’m using? MOVIES THAT EXISTED BEFORE STREAMING WAS EVEN A…

I love Fury Road, but I’ve noticed Furiosa’s release was a way for many, many friends and relatives to “admit” they didn’t “get” or enjoy Fury Road. I don’t recall a sequel revealing that much ambivalence about the original before. Maybe Fury Road was more polarizing than people realize.

Why does that matter?   

Still hoping he let down his universe by not actually being Wolverine but a Skrull impersonator named Jack Human. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

Literally just make a show people would actually want to watch. It’s a bold strategy but it just might work. 

yeah that’s the flipside isn’t it? every few years they panic and go ‘okay reset! we need new readers!’

Fine by me. I don’t get the people being all “Who the fuck cares about Vision?” because like who the fuck is Peacemaker? Except that show ruled. Who the fuck is Blade? Oh, 2/3rds of those movies ruled? Okay then. You can make a lesser known comic book character work. If the show is good the show is good, and I prefer…

This Vision show has been in development since WandaVision ended. They’re not tossing out things they were already working on; they’re just spacing out the releases more & not greenlighting as many NEW projects.

Or they have chosen to be celibate for other reasons, which very likely means they aren’t interested in finding "love" on a reality show.

There hasn’t been a good anything version.

Bill Murray did not though .

so you’re saying just a four-minute ovation at cannes 

if you’re a kid and you’ve only seen 6 movies, sure.

So it’s not as good as the one made by the Coen Brothers?

I expect he thought that his money meant everything would turn out to his liking, in the manner he’s accustomed.

My primary memory of this movie is of walking out feeling depressed but also annoyed at having my own angst packaged and sold back to me. I expressed my dislike of the experience to my friend, who took it very personally and accused me of “artistic fascism.” We probably had a conversation on the way home about which…

It’s attached to Bam Margera.
