The four zoom windows are labeled Steve S, Natasha, Angela, and Kareem. Benoit Blanc just has celebrity friends.

Not My Father’s Son is magnificent. I wasn’t aware of Baggage, and I’ll have to look that up.

He’s the same age as Connery was in Dr. No.

When you’re talking about genre, the words “fantasy” and “fiction” are not interchangeable.

Limited theatrical release yesterday.

Nope, it’s long enough in development that it’s still trying to ape the Snyder style in places, but except in a few flashbacks, the color saturation isn’t dialed down 50%.

See also Sony, Venom.

My bet: he’s too expensive. When they say they want a “younger” Superman, what they mean is that they want a relative unknown that will snap at the chance to sign a 5-project deal cheap with plenty of exit clauses for the studio and none for the actor.

“This claim comes from Haley Cameron, who worked briefly as a script coordinator on SVU.”

Maybe, it’s been 20 years since I read it. But also it’s a TV show. You can’t* just have Daddario wandering around going “I feel...something...there’s a...very sexy...presence here” like some kind of horny John Edward.

Seeing Lasher isn’t the same thing as him having a physical form.

Michael and Aaron Lightner were merged together into a composite character called Ciprien Grieve.

The most amazing part of the Spider-Man deal is that when Sony approached offering to buy the Spider-Man rights, Ike Perlmutter countered by offering a package of every Marvel character not already licensed out, for $25m. Sony’s response was “lol no, nobody cares about Iron Man or Thor, how much for just Spider-Man?”

Hey, remember that movie where a cop who sexually assaults a woman during a traffic stop isn’t all THAT bad because he doesn’t also let her burn to death after a car accident?

The “Cainite myth” (or heresy, depending on your perspective) is commonly believed by characters in the game world, but the game has never explicitly described it as true (and like any good mythology, is frequently self-contradictory). The vampires of the third generation and older are mythological figures to all but…

The Mayfair Witches are already being adapted to TV, they have their own series premiering in January.

Fair enough.

That presumes that the job of running Warner Bros Discovery involves making decisions that benefit the end user on a long-term basis. It does not. Zaslov’s job is to cut the operating costs enough to make the business profitable, and cut the debt by 40% over the next two years so that a leaner, more efficient WBD can…

What’s going on? It’s that streaming video on demand is wildly unprofitable, so they’re prioritizing cheaper and safer content in what will be a failed effort to stop the hemorrhaging.
