They already tried to use this premise for a TV show 20 years ago, and somehow that version looks better than the new one.

I was going to make a joke about Sex and the City World, but then I realized that the people who made these theme parks would have made a trillion dollars if they’d just made a park called Sex World. Why waste all this time on storylines and Wild West bullshit when 90% of your customers just wanna come fuck some…

People aren’t entitled to successful entertainment careers.

Oh no, you guys, a horny millionaire is being moderately inconvenienced. Look at the horrors that cancel culture has wrought.

Sadly I think you’re right. If Wolf 3 happens it’ll be because it was well into development before the acquisition, enough that Microsoft didn’t want to pull the plug on a game which had already had significant time and money put into it. But I doubt they would greenlight the game from scratch at this point.

So You Think You Can Harass.

New Order is my favorite shooter ever, and its sequel is pretty high up there as well. I’ve been waiting for news on the promised Wolfenstein 3 for years, and at this point I feel like it might be a lost cause, especially with the parent company being bought out. There’s a Microsoft/Bethesda presentation next week,…

It wasn’t purely fan speculation. That’s how it was covered by the media, with the show’s producers and PR people being fully aware of that and never even trying to issue a correction. They cultivated the “tryout” speculation without ever actually saying the word out loud to avoid legal repercussions. It was just as…

Educate us then, Professor. Explain why a $68 billion company can’t afford to pay the cast of a long-running franchise some decent money.

Plus you can replace ‘em and no one can tell the diddily-ifference!

I mean, that worked because people have been struggling to understand Donald Duck for 80 years and so it was funny to have his voice replaced (for one episode) with an actor who has a smooth and pleasant-sounding voice. I don’t think it would work with almost anyone other character.

From DiMaggio’s comments it seems like a big motivator was their attachment to the characters and not wanting to have them voiced by someone else. I can definitely believe they would agree to be underpaid rather than have Disney hand their legacy to a bunch of impersonators.

If it isn’t a huge money maker then why are they spending money to make more?

Rey falling in love with a fascist who tortured her was a pretty gross (and thoroughly out of character) way to end things. Also the forced, desperate attempt to connect Rey to an Important Star Wars Family by making her Palpatine’s granddaughter was just embarrassing. It feels like a checklist of bad fanfic ideas…

HIGHWAY TO THE DOWAGER ZONE

Also, his girlfriend dumped him for a trans woman and like a week later Elon went full right-wing transphobe. All his beliefs are determined by who hurt his feelings most recently.

There’s nothing innovative about a mediocre rich brat throwing regular tantrums on Twitter. We used to have an entire presidency which revolved around that.

Yeah, a lot of those things were shitty, too. Do you have a point?

Being opposed to predatory fun-killing game mechanics designed to scam children out of money is a bit different from defending harassment.
