From a purely monetary perspective they make sense. Little known fact: Smaug’s mountain of gold in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit movies was not CGI, but the actual box office returns for Avatar.

I’ve also found that focusing on the technical aspect of the movie helps get me through particularly bad spooks. Hereditary filled me with absolute dread, but I got to wondering how they did certain shots or how the makeup was done and I could engage my thinkin’ side to avoid totally falling into my terror side.
With this and Doctor Who Fights Montgomery Alabama in the 1950s, I feel like racism is on the ropes!
Cutting up a reporter while he’s still alive is an interesting way to shed the stigma of being a repressive regime.
If I ever get a time machine, I’m seeing a showing of House on Haunted Hill that had one of those Emergo gimmicks.
As someone who writes stuff sometimes, Marenghi’s do-everything self insert, terrible dialogue and narration, and general incompetence combined with his overinflated ego is deeply evocative of the garbage I wrote when I was younger. I appreciate it on a deep level and I rewatch it at least once every October.
Huh, I thought they did two. But yeah, even in the 90s they were doing stupid shit.
WWE is doing these PPVs simultaneously with pushing its female wrestlers harder as actual talents, rather than vapid eye-candy. They’re even having an all-woman show called Evolution! It’s...

Oof. I knew he had something to do with that inane dune buggy sequence in Nemesis, but I didn’t know he wanted Action Picard rather than...Picard Picard.
Cyborg is Diversity Wolverine.
Patrick Stewart having a role in production is a good sign.

Star Control: Origins! I dunno if it’ll be any good, but Ur Quan Masters is easily in my Top 5 games.
This argument would hold water if the Dems lost to a moderate, or elected a cuckoo Marxist or something. But the Republicans nominated and voted for a caricature, and the Democrats nominated toasted white bread.
The idea that Nicholas Cage was channeling German expressionism through his more extreme, emotional performances is kinda interesting and enlightening! I’m not totally against him as an actor, especially intense stuff. When he’s playing a bland lead in something like Knowing or National Treasure he can be a walking…
He’s doing his best Fat Albert.
