Bernard being a Host makes a lot of sense now. He's a trap for the Operations Chiefs that get sent over, like Theresa, and his empathic and kind nature is part of that. She was drawn into a romantic relationship with him, and I would guess that other Operations Chiefs have formed friendships with him as well that…

I think the show should aim for 1000 episodes.

This could be an okay "power armor shoot 'em up" movie with the right cast. Sure, it'll probably earn $20 million on its opening weekend and open up in an off month (like the forgettable Robocop reboot), but it would be okay. Maybe they'll even cast a filipino-American to play Rico!

So they actually kicked it into Summer 2017, where it will probably be competing with a billion other blockbuster films including two goddamn MCU movies? That seems . . . unwise. Can you ken it? Would it please you to disagree?

I'm surprised as well. I saw the first one - it's a mediocre nothing that feels about 15 minutes long, but it's not horrible. Was the second one really that worse, or the marketing that bad? The marketing made the second one seem better.

I'm glad to hear the new one's a continuation. If they set it in the 1960s, then you could have Old Indy teaming up with a recast Mutt (Chris Pratt?) in his thirties to go on an adventure. Maybe make a few nods to Last Crusade's father-son dynamic as well.

"Mr Craig, your dump-truck full of money is waiting at your house!"

This probably has to do with the lawsuits. Gawker did the same thing when they were in the middle of the Hulk Hogan trial.

The device that launched a thousand more sex videos courtesy of Snapchat.

You’ll just have to stick with the old 1989 Zelda cartoon for now.

Now if they'd just do the same thing for Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Better than that - he has a method. Same thing happened with Jolie on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith the previous time around.

Scuttlebutt is that he may have had an affair with Cotillard, although that's unconfirmed. It also doesn't appear to be the reason for the break-up, which seems to have to do with their kids.

Why bring Brian back when you could introduce Brian's brother searching for him, and wring drama out of the whole "holy shit he looks just like Brian this is weird" factor.

Oh, damn it. I love Peeps, especially the yellow ones.

It's not bad, although perhaps a little "over-powered" in terms of the background music.

I hope that's the only similarity to Empires Strike Back. We've got the Abrams Retread out of the way, so now they should be able to branch out in new ways.

There's something almost quaint about a show where the main characters are trying to become rock stars in 2016. I mean, I don't buy into the whole "rock is dead" idea, but . . .

Excellent. Not only will this probably be a smash hit in China, but they can use Chinese locations and probably Chinese tax credits/offsets (if available). I wonder if there are any asian-american young actresses who come to mind as candidates for Mulan (particularly any coming out of Disney's TV show business).

Agreed. I didn't think they were serious about the TV show/movie - I thought it was just a way to quietly cancel the film series once the last one failed to impress at the box office. They'd say "We're doing a TV series now", the main actors would balk at doing that, and then they'd use that as an excuse to let it die …
