Of course it’s nostalgia driven. Nostalgia is the only reason this film exists. All the marketing for this film is aimed squarely at the nostalgia factor, right down to highlighting all the actors from the original movie that they’ve managed to bring back. Zoomers are the last people this thing is aimed at; it’s for…

Also, they’ve been trying to recapture the magic of the original movie for 30 years, and they’ve failed every time. Does anyone really think that the fifth time is gonna be the charm?

“Why on God’s green earth would they do something that monumentally stupid?”

Netflix recently cancelled multiple animated series which were in full production for over a year or more, and which now will air zero episodes. I don’t think Netflix understands this “get all the footage we’ve already paid for” concept.

“The future of video games” looks like a budget Wii title.

Oh my God, they’re actually BUILDING the ships, not just sticking everyone in front of a green screen! And it looks like beautiful work, too. That alone has made my interest in this project skyrocket.

No more “vanity projects” like letting Martin Scorsese make one of the best movies in years. We’ve got to save money! BTW, each new episode of Stranger Things is 73 hours long.

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…

Star Trek II: Remember That Episode With The Space Hippies Who Took Over the Ship? Well They’re Back. And NUDE.

The words (random order:)

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 Disney who claimed that, it was independent academic research that proved it.

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!
