I always appreciate a good precursors story.

those AI remasters suck balls.

Its reflecting user demographics, Paramount+ doesnt have much children’s content with the majority of films and series aimed firmly at adults, so having a single exclusive children’s show on it doesn’t make financial sense. Particularly as they are looking at merging the HBO & Paramount streaming platforms which will…

Looks like ST:Disco still hasn’t gotten past the fact that Michael Burnham is the most special person ever.

Jedi Master Sol walks into a cantina and the bartender says, “Why the long face?”

There’s another piece of this that seems to be glossed over, regarding “only 8" episodes, vs 20ish of the original:
The original episodes averaged about 20 minutes long. The new live-action is at least double that, and averages closer to 50 minutes each. Pretty simple math will tell you that’s close to the same runtime…

Ah yes. That was more of a chase scene vs dogfight but that would be the best to use for the ride. 

the bts doc for The Phantom Menace is probably one of the best documentary thats ever came out. its like watching a trainwreck in slowmo.

I was a teenager when the Prequels came out, and at the time I was totally swept up in their cultural zeitgeist. I was a prequel-apologist for a couple of summers, and was always willing to overlook those films’ flaws because “Episode III is going to fix everything.” And while Revenge of the Sith is certainly the best…

Everytime I think of the quality of Ridley Scott’s movies I can’t help but bring in his brother’s filmography to make a comparison. Ridley definitely has the more iconic, classic, all time movies on his resume but I feel Tony was the consistently better film maker. Were all of Tony’s movies going to be classics,…

“For example, we’ve never seen red on the Grid before.”

>I’d ask that you reread the story and, this time, don’t think of Mr. Beast as a “wacky internet fun guy who makes squid game realz!!!!” and instead think of him as “an insanely rich person who, through his absurd merchandizing of trash product, has proven himself to be a grotesque uber capitalist who is fine with…

They did end it and nicely tied it up. See Picard season 3.

I could care about Thunderbolts.

I don’t think anyone has never not understood what message Kojima was trying to get across in his games, but only cause Kojima will brow beat you over the head with a 40 min cutscene because he doesn’t understand subtlety.

I’m not generally someone who gets their underwear in a twist over spoilers, but it’s kind of shitty to drop what sure seems like a spoiler for the PS5 Spider-Man 2 story in an article without a spoiler tag. Indeed, the article that is linked in that sentence considers the contents to be spoilers, but this opinion…

I feel exactly the same way. Having someone ELSE who knows how to make movies adapt MGS or Death Stranding? Absolutely. But trusting Kojima to do that himself? No thank you. He should have been making smaller budget stuff to hone his film making skills for a long time now, not just jumping into the deep end with a big…

I love Kojima as a game director and his penchant for making film-adjacent game experiences. Having said that, I absolutely don’t trust him to write and direct something that has to fit a feature film runtime.

Unless this is written and directed by someone else, I don’t actually expect this to come out. Kojima is an absolutely terrible writer and shows no aptitude for cinema. The reason his games are great is that he has a wonderful imagination and has a very clever feel for gameplay. His pacing and his dialogue, however,…

That’s why I said looking. It’s a matter of perception, and in the movie industry perception is almost everything. Case in point: Iger saying that he believes Marvel needs more executives making decisions, which runs counter to the notion that Feige is infallible and omnipotent. (And yes, Feige is one of the most, if…
