James Earl Jones is the essential Darth Vader, but Matt Lanter is by far the best Anakin.

A prestige-budgeted series or miniseries based on the manga, rather than the film, would potentially work.

An R doesn’t guarantee lower revenue, but the trend is quite strong when it comes to PG-13. It’s hard to pass up the statistically significant predicted increase in theater dollars.

I can highly recommend DefunctTV’s series on Henson. It’s both a great documentary and an enormous tearjerker.

The original was meant to be played multiple times. The first time you play, your focus is directed almost entirely to escaping. It’s later that you realize you could save all of your friends, and the Oddworld folks seemed for that to be a player’s second run through.

So part of the trouble is that DC & Marvel are paying creatives in a manner that spans the two approaches (ongoing royalties versus one-time payment).

Part of this appears to be Discord wanting to list themselves under a different age bracket in the App Store. They were fairly recently bumped up to 17+, and I wonder if they saw a dip in revenue or new user enrollment from iOS that correlated with that change.

Only impacts the app. Browser is unaffected. 

Yikes. I was thinking people were kvetching about an Alan Moore / DC type situation, but that’s much, much worse.

Work for hire doesn’t necessarily exclude royalties. You’re correct about that. But neither are royalties mandatory; some creative work is done solely for a single payment. Some writers and artists prefer it that way (and if they’re talented, the single payment may be substantial).

Was there some kind of deceptive business practice in his case? Because most franchise tie-in novels tend to be set up as work-for-hire, where the author knowingly writes the work for a flat fee and no expectation of royalties.

Okay, so they do leave the credited name in there in parentheses. I thought that was still controversial though?

What did IMDB end up doing when it came to the deadname issue?

He definitely grew as a character over time.

Thrawn being mentioned by name in such a dramatic fashion in Mandolorian seemed like a pretty clear indication he’d come to *something* new in the near-ish future.

It’s definitely a scheme, but not a pyramid scheme.

While they made the final call, it appears from the article that they hired an outside firm and followed their recommendation.

Or team up with the new Black Panther for WakandaWanda.

The one really fantastic thing to come out of Avatar was its section of Animal Kingdom. It’s a bit odd, and I was skeptical of its inclusion in what is partly a zoo, but it’s quite impressive in person (particularly the simulator ride).

If that person used their winnings to buy a 10% share of the team, then he or she probably would be brought in to take part in the leadership, at least to some extent.
