“Star Wars: The Parent Trap”
I can’t figure out why Smiling Friends works so well. There is a sincerity of the characters going, “alright I guess we’re dealing with this now.” Even if it’s a trek through hell, or to get paperclips that feels relatable.
I can’t tell if this will be “Bloodrayne” bad or just “Prince of Persia” bad. On a scale of Super Mario Bros. to Alone in the Dark, I think this will likely slot in somewhere between Doom and any of the later Resident Evil movies.
All the “it looks like a set” stuff would disappear if they leaned into the Noir detective a bit further and made it rain, rainy or just dark and wet when in a city environment. I’m also hoping that any confrontation of the wookie feels like the first predator movie where the jungle (in this case woods) was almost a…
I can see that. The good guy doing something wrong for the right reasons and the villain who kind of has a good point have become the norm, but I am sort of interested in the Jedi Confidential type direction that this seems to be taking.
This show seems to be setting the Jedi up as space cops like they’re Green Lantern’s or something. I always thought they’d be more like ambassadors, or UN peacekeepers or something. But we’ve got a hard boiled lead detective with his young hot headed partner, tracking down his former partner that quit the force…
Mercedes-Benz W100 600 Grosser. It screams powerful, corrupt dictator. This is the car of someone who made sure we all ingest microplastics. This is the car of someone who worked for Dupont Chemical in the 80's. This is Victor Bout’s car, a Nestle exec’s car, Dick Chaney’s car. Classy, angry, slow, methodical,…
There is this book series Children of Ruin/Children of Time and Children of Memory that explores some interesting things like uplifted octopi and spiders that made me really consider if fire and electricity would be all that necessary to be called intelligent life. An understanding of chemical reactions and the…
If anyone reading can’t imagine it, here’s some help.
Matt Berry was RIGHT THERE and they go for the guy who says “typical Whitehall mandarin” in James Bond?
I really felt like there was something missing. In Fury Road there is so much weird little eye candy, from the skeleton hand pointing on the war rig to Nux’s bobble head bird/headlight wiper blade sculpture on the dash and the Bullet Farmer’s bandoleer hat, not to mention the flame thrower guitar. It was a tightly…

So, um anybody seen this movie called Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade because... um... like...
I really thought they were going to do the “Onslaught” series with Xavier in Magneto’s head, and I’m wondering how they’ll handle the Wolverine gets the adamantium ripped out of him arc. In the books Wolverine got a little weird during the bone claws/no nose era.

“THE ALGORITHM HAS SPO-KEN”
Lightsabers + Kali/escrima... sign me up! It could be set during the clone wars given his timeline. Even “Beq investigates the Crimson Dawn” could give him his own sidequest.
Omega starts using the code name Dash Rendar after trying to come up with a nom de guerre at a bar with Echo, having passed on the suggested names of Teckla Eres, Bash Bendar and Glup Shitto. Just give her the big puffy vest, a fun ship and have her flirt way too much with Leia.
All I could think of is Lady GaGa in the Marvel Universe with Bastion’s re-contextualization of “I was born this way.”
I would be all in on an “oops all side quests” story with Ventress. Much in the same way the Bad Batch was sort of off doing their own thing for a bit. I know the secret base and Hemlock were the big bads but for a while there it was just fetch quests and podracing to make ends meet. Just let Ventress chew scenery,…
So we do have a Filoni-verse movie coming, I could see a grizzled war worn blonde pilot pulling a “Tech-turn,” and saying something about Boba Fett having a very familiar face, but only as a throw-away cameo.
