Please tell me someone says, “The dishes are *done*, maaan!”

I mean it won’t be a glorious death but if Douglas really wants out I’m sure Ant-Man 4 can open with the characters leaving Pym’s funeral because he’s an old man and sometimes old folks just die. Please hire me, Disney for more million dollar ideas like this. I’ve got other ideas like “recasting roles for problematic…

Feige should promise him the sweet release of death, but only on the condition that he agrees to play every alter ego Pym’s ever had. Ant-man, Giant-Man, Yellowjacket, Goliath, Pymtron... Feige could lock him down for another decade.

The Ants-Man will continue until morale improves

The Toronto Raptors tried the same thing in 1996 with Michael Jordan, except they had to settle for the old couple from the “It’s Patrick! He took out life insurance” commercial.

Didn’t work out.

Exactly, call me when they start touring the free concert as part of community summer fair circuit :).  That how I saw Smash Mouth live a few years back

I assume they’re going to explain that the new emotions go away once you hit adulthood?

Starring...you guessed it

Haha, no worries.

Oh shit, I’m sorry. I honestly didn’t remember it was you, mate. I genuinely thought it was a blow-in. 

I remember this exchange well, because I was the poor, naive commenter who posted that. I was just being snide though, and luckily Milligna stepped up to spike my setup with the Getty comment, as I hoped someone would.

My favourite incident from the LA AV Club was during the actors strike, and they had photos (in slideshow form, but of course) of the big stars on the picket line.

Is it Spanfeller’s fault you guys aren’t there, or Paste’s? Or is it just the general downward trajectory the site has been on for the past five years has landed the AV Club somewhere in the reputational vicinity of CinemaSins, and you can’t go for the same reason I can’t just walk into a White House Press Briefing?

“At Veridian Dynamics, our AI technology is focused on how we can deepen engagement and connectivity between celebrities and fans across the globe. Our technology is never used to replace entertainers, and we partner directly with the world’s leading talent and their estates to ensure it is a true partnership that is…

Did you not see Blonde with Ana de Armas? No, the world hasn’t forgotten about Monroe; she’s still a very hot item.

Look on the bright side: if it stops the neckbeards from somehow stumbling in a real woman’s vagina and accidentally breeding, then so much the better. 

At this point, anyone who is publicly super into AI should probably just be put on a sex crime registry to save time.

Of all the Torment-Nexus-type crap coming from techbros lately, this is one of the Torment-Nexest:

Why do they plague us with all of this aspirational blah blah BS just to avoid saying “we are creating a perfect fuck buddy for you. Yes, we are hurrying.”

Dystopian is an overused term but this... nope. I have found value in finality, all things end, let it be peaceful if you can. It was hardly that for Marilyn, but goddamn has reality been extra cruel to her. This isn’t resurrection its desecration.  I don't look at Audrey Hepburn and say, boy I'd love an AI version of…
