The article makes that point but then instantly dismisses it, which is dumb. There are hundreds of X-Men characters.

Sadly the original musical version of Richard III is lost to history. 46 songs, all of them about what a fucking asshole Richard is.

Prison Guard: On your feet, Zazlav! It’s prison movie night!

I was fine with that but I thought the nude cabaret scene was a bit excessive.

Children deserve good movies, too.

watching those monkeys fall into an abyss over and over again

This is going to sound like blasphemy, but I actually think Metroid Other M had a decent idea of how to handle Samus being solitary but still giving her a supporting cast. The execution of it was dreadful, especially the part where she began taking orders for no reason, but the idea was solid: she’s on a solo mission,…

Borstein is actually more permissive about it than many, since she will watch her performance once she’s done playing the character. A lot of actors never watch themselves at all if they can help it.

A movie? About James Bond? Ridiculous.

They finally went too far when they cast Chris Pratt as Pac-Man.

Mickey Rourke wins 17 oscars for his portrayal of a boxer who bravely overcomes alcoholism while fleeing Soviet oppression.

I dunno, I’d say Breath of the Wild (the first Zelda game with proper voiced cutscenes) had enough plot for a movie, especially if you add in the backstory about the Calamity War.

Samus has been speaking since Super Metroid (the game’s intro was narrated in the first person) so I don’t think Nintendo would make her silent.

I’m just glad that we’re mostly past the era where people made their Hogwarts House part of their personalities and went around asking people what house they were.

And it took over a decade for EEAAO to get made, and it only happened because many of the people involved took pay cuts to accommodate the small budget, the movie got minimal promotion and basically only succeeded via word of mouth.

The kids can watch the original movies right now, why should they be subjected to a cynical remake.

The books ballooned in size but not in content. Order of the Phoenix is nearly 800 pages long and has about 50 pages of actual story. Half-Blood Prince is even worse; Snape kills Dumbledore, but that takes up one chapter and the rest of a boring slog leading up to that moment (even the titular mystery is pointless: it…

Or they could use all those resources to tell a new story rather than “let’s regurgitate some movies from 20 years ago, but now with new details that nine people worldwide will care about.”

The game also had a new story (a terrible story, but still a new one.)

They think “just smile and nod while she babbles endlessly about trans people, before long she’ll keel over from racism poisoning and then I get five hundred million bucks and a castle.”
