Tyrion’s appearance in the books is much more than dwarfism. His head is bulbous, his eyes mismatched, and his nose misshapen. He’s described as looking demonic (hence his nickname the Imp) and it’s made even worse when his face is nearly bisected during the Battle of the Blackwater which leaves him with a massive…

 I miss the days when Disney would give someone a fairly generous budget to make a geeky sci-fi film with religious undertones and experimental CGI effects. Someone, it must be said, whose only previous feature experience was writing and directing a furry Olympic spoof centered on vocal impersonations by current and…

Twilight Zone Movie?

It’s really difficult to trademark something as vague as “Ratchet” but if they stick “Autobot” in front, then they can trademark that.

Live-action anime frequently runs into problems with whitewashing (see: 2009’s Dragon Ball: Evolution and 2017’s Ghost In The Shell). But with Cho’s casting and a stylish preview, fans of the original series were hopeful that, maybe, Netflix would finally get it right.

I imagine Lock & Key is a lot less expensive to produce than this was. Netflix seems to greenlight a bunch of low to mid budget shows with the intention of running them three or four seasons, then greenlighting one or two shows with massive budgets and those are put in a position of sink or swim.

It seems like -…

Thank your lucky stars we don’t live in Paraguay!

Security was lax, lots of people just crashed the event. The medics were completely understaffed (and according to some concertgoers who work as nurses and had to fill-in to help, had no idea what they were doing). And Scott wasn’t just “the artist”. This was his event that was put on by his company Cactus Jack…

I don’t think he means “gritty” as in Spider-Man running around with a handgun taking out random baddies. I think he just means more rooted in reality.
Which would have been a big deal in 1995. You have to remember that superhero films shifting to be more “realistic” was a direct result of Batman and Robin being…

I hate defending Walmart, but it isn’t actually selling the cactus. A third party seller is using Walmart’s website to sell the cactus. When you hear outrageous stories about Walmart selling Nazi paraphernalia or something like that, there’s a 99% chance that it’s a third party seller just using Walmart as their…

How did they both sides 2016? They used one of the show’s most deranged, depraved, homophobic, hypocritical, misogynistic, and racist characters as a Trump stand-in (his entire Trump arc is kicked off when he’s fired for using a xenophobic slur on a student) and said Hillary Clinton was an uninspiring candidate. Those…

It’s not going to be. It’s going to be - at worse- mediocre. Ridley Scott is just too skilled to be a “so bad it’s good” director and he’s never had a camp/satirical streak like the Paul Verhoevens of the world.
A bad Ridley Scott film is just boring. I can’t put my finger on it, but there are four bad Ridley Scott…

Honestly, I think having Smithers and Patty be out is probably one of the better things about later Simpsons. We live in a society where jokes about closeted homosexuals are just archaic.

And what makes it funnier that they’re trying to goad him into bad mouthing “Homer’s Phobia” is John Waters had a lot of say in that…

I’ve said this before when this came up but the costume was made by Alexander McQueen, a designer who was considered a savant when it came to pattern cutting and construction.

Alexander McQueen - I’m sure you know this - was the biggest thing in the fashion industry at the time and had partly built that excitement by…

I get it’s meant to be cutesy, but the jerky stop-motion style is just giving big Jan Švankmajer vibes and I’m instantly freaked out.

Don’t forget Moebius. Not just Alien but some of the shots in Blade Runner are almost complete recreations of panels from O’Bannon and Moebius’s “The Long Tomorrow” comic from Metal hurlant. Moebius’s influence is also all over Scott’s earliest concept art for Blade Runner:

I don’t disagree with you sentiment, but this was on network television while you’re clearly talking about cable television. The two are very different beasts. Cable is largely answerable towards sponsors while network television answers to sponsors and the FCC.

I’ve seen A Clockwork Orange air on IFC at 10 AM…

The costume was made by Alexander McQueen.  He made outfits that were so structurally sound they’re able to hold up antlers and horns, multiple pieces of bird taxidermy, and an entire human skeleton 20+ years after he first sent them down the runway. If a part of his design came off, it’s because it was meant to come…

Definitely, but my point is that it will still be family friendly enough to fit into Disney+’s brand identity. I’ve not seen MODOK but my understanding is it carries an TVMA rating and I imagine Hit-Monkey (based solely on its premise) will be the same.

The author of this article seems to imply MODOK and Hit-Monkey…

It’s on Star which is basically Hulu for markets outside the US, except you guys don’t have to pay extra for it.
