Eh, they can probably find another director pretty easily. Just look at the Jurassic Park movies that have come out so far - they're all pretty much the same type of thing. "Shit goes bad, people try to survive and avoid getting attacked by dinosaurs, they eventually escape or round up the dinosaurs".

You joke about that last sentence, but it's pretty much true. Given the description of the movie, it sounds like they could swap in Hugh Jackman or Colin Firth and lose nothing.

I thought they might be more wary of this because of the John Carter failure, but here we go. It might actually be good, if someone can do a good Conan movie (even the Schwarzenegger one is pretty goofy).

"YOU WATCHED IT! YOU CAN'T UNWATCH IT!"

I viscerally enjoyed the movie and its general vibe, even though it's a clunky mess with serious script and plot issues.

I was one of those people who watched the TV Mini-Series and came away from it still thinking that IT is just not a good novel to try and adapt for a screen.

Oh man, the Walk of Shame next episode is going to be a serious fandom divider. It is so easy to imagine how that might go wrong, and I hope they don't fuck it up.

I thought it was the opposite - that it wasn't the exceptional people who saved things, although it's good to encourage people to aspire to the dream of optimism and a better world.

Hey, Jon Hamm thought the same thing about it!

That would work. The best one would be some combination of super-deadly pandemic with zombification, like a plague that wipes out half of humanity . . . only for those dead to rise up again, along with anyone else who dies.

Wait, how is that going to work? The whole reason shows usually skip the actual collapse is because zombies just aren't that much of a threat, even if everyone who dies turns. That's something that George Romero's original Night of the Living Dead got - at the end of the movie, the local authorities plus locals with…

It’s also that the show has lost my faith as a viewer that the writers know how to articulate the aftermath of this rape effectively within the limited time offered to each storyline in a given episode and given season.

What do you think is going to happen to him? As you mentioned, he's shed everything - his job, his apartment, his car, his old life. Is he just going to get to the beach on the Pacific somewhere, strip down, and then disappear into the water like his old evocative Royal Hawaiian advertisement from Season 6? It would…

Good news. I'm not an early adopter type, but I'd love to see what people come up with in terms of usage.

Chris Pratt would be excellent in the role. Hell, he kind of even looks like Harrison Ford in the get-up. The only downsides would be scheduling it with his Guardians of the Galaxy commitment, and the (probable) high salary he would demand for the role.

It's got to be some easy money, being a minor recurring character in these types of movies.

There is literally nothing about this movie that makes me want to see it.

The sequence with Joan was well beyond "on the nose", but I loved it. This was Joan cornered, with no escapes left through diplomacy or courtesy - and she sank her teeth into Jim Hogart's leg such that he offered her half of her remaining 4-year contract just to go away. It's a victory for her, even if it didn't feel…

Damn, sorry to hear that. I figured they were going to get hammered sooner or later - they claimed Safe Harbor protection, but had a bunch of e-mails released that showed the employees uploading tons of music.

And abroad, too. The Chinese government is censorial towards content with homosexual elements.
