Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that’s exactly what they tried to do about a decade ago but Del Toro left due to their visions for a Monsters Universe not meshing. Supposedly The Shape of Water is similar to Creature from the Black Lagoon because that’s what Del Toro intended it to be an update of and he loved…

The music playing was actually a muzak version of Williams’ “Jabba’s Baroque Recital” that you can (kind of) hear when the droids first enter the main chamber of Jabba’s Palace in RotJ.

I hope Max Rebo is getting some kind of space royalties considering yet another one of his workplaces exploded.

There’s a delay, so you didn’t actually get to see the smack live.

It’s an awards show, not a memorial. That “utterly useless stuff” is what 99% of viewers are tuning in for. 

You have a good point. Luckily I said there’s “a lot of overlap between the two genres” which is a lot different than saying sf = fantasy.

TSoW is about a man who evolved from amphibians instead of mammals (it’s been accused of ripping off one of the highest grossing sf films in the Soviet Union) that’s not anymore…

Jordan is best known for his television work. The year Farrah Fawcett was left out of the In Memoriam segment, they explained that they’re stretched for time and sometimes a star’s inclusion comes down to which field they were more prolific in. If it’s film, they’re featured at the Oscars but television means they’ll…

People love being pedantic about what genre the winners fall under. The Shape of Water is (for all intents and purposes) as much a sf film as EEAAO but people are going to argue that it was technically fantasy while ignoring that EEAAO could also be easily classified as fantasy because there’s a lot of overlap between…

The big difference is that after 9 PM, their crap television go full frontal. 

“The killer will never think to look for us in my collection of Eyes Wide Shut orgy robes.”

Constant reboots of its various cartoons is kind of Hanna-Barbera’s thing.

I feel like they’re setting up some kind of romance between Din and Bo and that explicitly showed them technically emerging from the Waters of Life at the same time so they can handwave it as, “They’re both qualified to be leaders of the Mandalorian people.”

To the point that he has argued with film critics they should label the film “Science Fiction”.

This is what always bothered me about when reality television first exploded. 99% of the shows described as reality shows were just gameshows. Including Survivor. Even Big Brother (which has a reality show format in other countries where games are just a way for the contestants to win prizes like parties and luxury…

Matt Selman time as showrunner has actually turned Homer around. He and Marge have one of the best relationships on television at the moment.

I’m more offended by Kelly Clarkson’s wardrobe than Jack Black’s balls. Does her stylist hate her? I’ve never seen a daytime host dress so bad.

Dee Bradley Baker who voices Rogu also voices a lot of characters in Star Wars media (including the frog family in Mandalorian Season 2).

ETA: Actually, Tech and Crosshair on The Bad Batch are basically just variations of his Klaus voice.

Cool World fails because Bakshi had a very specific story planned out (a horror noir set in the world of Dick Tracy/Sin City style crime/detective comics) and the studio mandated that he do a Roger Rabbit knock-off.

Also, the idea that Heavy Metal = major boobage spilled into the magazine which (pre-movie) was probably one of the most important works of SF ever published. Not just in comics but in the genre as a whole it was probably on equal footing with New Worlds in how it revitalized the game. Everyone from William Gibson to…

They’re being facetious.

There was a TV show called Celebrity Rehab, it got cancelled years ago - partly because so many of participants died.
