After his DC movies, I gave up on Snyder’s work. Especially with how annoying his fanboys are. They’re a lot like Elon’s fanboys.

Yeah. Smaller studios relying on the larger studios for distribution is probably going to keep most of them in lockstep. It’s unlikely to end until at least one of the big studios breaks ranks.

Also this:

If the Trump years have done nothing else, they have proven that there is a sizeable chunk of the population who are easily conned, but refuse to accept that they have been conned. The kind of people who are why we have warning labels on so many things.

The only example that the Tate boys set, is how to be the absolute worst kind of person.

insult[s] the massive community that considers Andrew Tate a life changing positive force

Hadn’t heard about A24. A quick Google shows that they were given special waivers for a couple of movies that they’re making.

Is it just me or is there something off about those Hunger Games outfits? Like they’d be more at home at the fashion show for a student designer who’s about to get a failing grade.

Choosing to go with that setting, it is inevitably going to be compared to Life of Brian. Not sure whether it’s brave or stupid to try taking on Monty Python.

Absolutely. The sequel trilogy was a mess for all kinds of reasons. Hyperspace being one of the lesser reasons.

They’ll spread conspiracy theories about a film starring a QAnon nutjob, because it’s part of their “culture wars”. When they pretend to care about kids, it’s purely to hook their marks, while providing a shield from criticism.

You mean the way that they repeatedly claim George Soros is behind all left-wing activism, is actually projection?

His teen drug use rarely gets a mention, compared to the Nazi costume or the streaking. At the time, it led to the British tabloids labelling him “Harry Pothead”.

Thanks. I hadn’t seen the WGA statement.

It doesn’t help that Star Wars is inconsistent in how it handles the speed of hyperspace travel. How fast they get somewhere is dependent on how fast the plot needs them there.

Sellotape is a British brand, which became the default name for adhesive tape in the UK.

Perhaps they were limited in their available shades of green, to avoid any potential clashing with green screen sections of background.

Is there anything to stop one of the studios breaking ranks with the others, and making their own deal with the unions?

Unfortunately, I think that the closest we will get to Seven Samurai in space was Battle Beyond the Stars.

Same. Especially after the bit with Sabine wearing the helmet for lightsaber practice.
