Poor guy deserved a couple of tickets to a premiere, and didn’t even get a screener. He’s no dummy, artists from yesteryear all saw what happened with Kate Bush and “Running up that Hill.” Even if it was a punchline and regained relevance as a meme, getting in on a pop culture phenomenon is going to get yourself and…

This is nice to hear, good for him. I hop it inspires others to do similar, even if it is just for similar attention and goodwill. I am tired of the Rock and his ego, his craven branding for his stupid energy drinks and tequila, displayed prominently in lame social media posts. But after being humbled by the shitshow…

“Film” seems like a strong word to describe this. Maybe “Feature length Youtube fan video.”

No, you’re mistaking the rules of the new canon for the old. Of course, from a practical standpoint, “everything is canon” is bogus, since it can’t possibly sustain itself long-term. And there have already been minor contradictions that show how much they really care about adhering to their own rule. But the “fairly…

I don’t think there is any reason to worry. Ashley Eckstein isn’t really involved in the series, other than the fact that she was thrown a bone and invited to visit the set. Maybe she’ll pop up onscreen in a cameo or something. I doubt she actually knows exactly how the series plays out, though her friendship with…

So what if some of the big names here are just making appearances to get the photo op in to check a box. A-listers don’t really need to get involved, they don’t need to worry about minimums and meeting health insurance requirements. It still has a very positive impact on attention and coverage on the strike. The media…

No, you didn’t see an interesting Facebook post today about this, you saw a stupid person’s straw man argument who either doesn’t understand labor disputes or is willfully obtuse. Why would actors be more concerned about other issues in this country that need attention their own livelihoods and the people being squeez…

Star Wars has always treated the EU as a farm team. Names and concepts were taken and integrated into the prequels, and then in the Clone Wars series. And I think that was the best approach, book/comic stories are canon until they are contradicted b something on screen. After 10 years the new “everything is canon”…

I’m into it.

As someone who watched (and loved) both The Clone Wars and Rebels, I really don’t like the idea that the Ahsoka series is Rebels 2.0. And I really hope the prior animated series are not any more required viewing for this series than they were for Mando/BoBF. Even though I am not a casual viewer myself, I would prefer…

I think the “adaptation of the old Zahn books but with the Filoni characters” is the Filoni-directed movie we are working towards. I suspect the Ahsoka series will be a lot of table setting.

Fun idea, way overpriced.

“the project that convinced Disney that they could trust Downey enough to insure him, making a little movie called Iron Man possible”

The Baywatch movie is bad for such a simple reason... after starring in successful comedies, Zach Efron and Dwayne Johnson, alongside studio executives, decided those two were the funny ones. That putting the two of them together would be funny. Don’t include a comedian, nothing is funnier than the two straight men…

I’m glad Fallout seems to have earned nearly a consensus as #1, it’s truly great. Very excited to see the new one, even though my expectations are tempered by the limits of its “Part One” status. It’s an annoying trend with blockbusters this year, Fast X, Across the Spider-Verse, Mission: Impossible. I think “Part…

The paranoid/espionage basis for Secret Invasion makes me think there is a lot that is not what it seems, and I hope I’m not just giving the production more credit than it deserves. A lot of Disney+ storytelling has been very basic and underwritten, and I’ve seen a lot of theory and speculation over the past few years…

I enjoyed it, but it’s still a pale imitation of the older films. Basically it was decent, and doesn’t have the same type of issues that tanked Crystal Skull, but also doesn’t really have any real peaks. I’d say the lack of showstopping action is the biggest issue. Nothing truly breathtaking or iconic. We needed…

Satine’s death is a painful topic for her, Bo-Katan has enjoyed a revisionist history on the Mandalorian show, where she doesn’t really get into the fact that she was originally a villain and made some pretty big mistakes. But Satine in particular is ancient history.

Damn that’s perfect...

The whole point of the Expendables was to put together a vehicle for yesterday’s action stars... People like Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Van Damme. With some others like Statham and Terry Crews mixed in to keep the thing from feeling like a total retirement home field trip. Now Stallone is still limping…
