It’s really weird that the show is making such a big thing about the mystery of Madmartigan’s whereabouts, given that we all know his absence is because of Val Kilmer being too sick to come in and we’ll never actually see him (though he’s said he hopes to be better enough to make an appearance if there’s a second

Just look at how they’re whining about the totally original queer characters in Willow.

Meanwhile, we just got a nearly all-black Beauty and the Beast show on Disney+, and somehow no one cares. Are black French peasants really so much easier to believe than black fish monsters?

Peter Benchley himself took a huge swing at the movie’s effect on shark populations in his later book The Beast, basically the same story with a giant squid. It really came off as sour grapes over how much better the movie was.

It’s going to be amazing watching people talk about The Whale’s box office while trying not to look like they’re making fat jokes.

I’m most interested in how Dalton seems to be playing a darker version of his already sleazy character from the 1978 miniseries Centennial.

He got his acting start while building sets for The Streets of San Francisco, where the crew took a liking to his look and put him in several minor roles.

That’s Helen Mirren doing the narration, by the way.

Hell, I’ve read the books and those names mean nothing to me. They all just kind of congeal into a generic friend of Geralt or enemy of Geralt without anything to make them stand out.

So is this based on the Colin Farrell movie or not? Because that’s an incredibly underappreciated film, and anything that draws more attention to it regardless of its own quality is okay by me.

Or the Inspector Clousseau approach, where you just play the whole thing for laughs.

I distinctly remember the slow realization that for as well as La La Land was constructed, Chazelle had absolutely nothing to actually say with it. So this doesn’t have me very excited.

It’s mostly just one of the more convenient targets for people’s problems with all of Season 6, where Whedon later admitted he liked each individual idea of dark, depressing stories so much that he didn’t consider maybe they shouldn’t ALL be happening at the same time.

Samuel L. Jackson even made up a fake spoiler about Captain Marvel just because he was so sick of being asked about it.

I saw Dark Fate before anyone was able to tell me I was supposed to hate it, so I didn’t, and now I’m stuck with that.

As is usually the case with Netflix’s “ratings,” you’ll notice that this is all measured in “hours watched” and not… “viewers who enjoyed it” or even “viewers who sat through the whole thing.””

Way to just casually drop in that Quaritch is back. And given how lazy the first film’s script is, I am actually questioning if the movie bothers to explain how.

There’s the bit where after a whole movie of the Swan Lake monster being portrayed as a horrifying nightmare, the actor playing him in the show walks by Portman in full costume and gives a casual “Hey.”

Rourke is famously a nightmare to work with on any movie.

He was going to direct The Wolverine, but left over the studio refusing to let him make it R-rated. Underrated movie.
