At some point Disney is gonna emit some sewage to indemnify themselves. But they’re very bad at it. Prepare for some Snow White level shit

Not enough focus on the commentary in this article that the “narrative continuity” reason Iger and Bergman gave is seen as bullshit - because of course it is. This is internal Disney succession politics - some sort of power play to make Bergman look like a big man. Insane shit. But it’s backfired

No offence to the “why not both” crowd but remember when the Mando trailer came out and all the disocurse was about how it looked like shit? More positive online buzz about a cancelled project is levels of Disney incompetence previously deemed only theoretical by top scientists

he is brought back via the Will of the Force, because even the Force thought TROS was bullshit alternatively they have to steal a ship to go to Planet Genesis to search for Ben Solo's lifeform reading

Bring back the TIE silencer! 😁 The Last Jedi (2017): Art by James Clyne

Oh damn the guys in charge of Disney these days don't understand interesting material with an actual creative vision behind it.

he literally teleports during the movie he dies in, more than once. he teleported away it's that easy holy shit.

It is impossible to overstate how terrible Disney’s decision making is. You have an Adam Driver / Soderbergh project being handed to you and you give some dork ass reason to turn it down lol - and your last movie you brought back a guy who exploded

Disney turning down Steven Soderbergh in favor of Shawn Levy should tell you exactly where the company's artistic integrity lies

Looks more like Transformers One to me doc

The studios stopped hiring Drew Struzan for their movie posters. Guillermo Del Toro famously wanted him for the second Hellboy movie and the studio rejected it so GDT paid him out of his own pocket, as the legend goes. RIP to a generational talent.

Making up bullshit about leftists to get mad at while literal nazis seize power is a time honored liberal pastime

My wife was half watching Trek 2009 today and while I’m milling around getting dinner ready I was reminded every time I walked past the tv that it’s one of the most moronic stories ever told. Insane that this thing is what got JJ Star Wars. Episode 7 didn’t stand a chance

In Superman Lex kills a guy - Malik Ali - in front of Supes. Ali’s near final words? He’s honored Superman ate falafel from his food cart. Screenwriting that feels like a shitpost. The movie is full of this woeful dross

Having now watched Gunn’s Superman it’s insane anyone thought this movie was gonna make “a gazillion dollars”. Mediocre, ugly, overstuffed and tedious, it’s a miracle it made as much as it did. Heck everyone says it and it’s true - Thunderbolts was actually really good and way better than this POS

I was telling a friend not too long ago that one of the nice things about Bond is there has almost never been any whiny pearl clutching in the fandom over Bond being violent like we've had with other pop culture characters like Optimus Prime or Superman. Looks like that might be coming to an end...

you really couldn’t make a funnier social media site if you tried

You won’t need to, it’ll be designed 6 months later in post and awkwardly composited onto you with especially shitty CGI

Hey you stupid fuck how much is the state department paying you to equate Cuba’s situation for its citizens to how Israel is treating Palestinians @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Just saw the Matrix Resurrections last night! It might be my favorite Matrix movie and is just one of the most sincere heartfelt movies I've seen in a while. Completely and unapologetically at odds with 99% of "legacy sequels"

american politics is where people who mostly live paycheck to paycheck fiercely battle one another over which corrupt bloodthirsty millionaire they should idolize

The Russians have been banned since they invaded Ukraine

I remember back when the trailer for TFA came out I excitedly watched it why my then girlfriend / now wife and say what you will about the movie (it’s bad!) but it was at least a proper trailer. Now the first new SW movie trailer in 6 years is this corny, cheap, shoddy mess lol

The baby yoda movie looks like it cost $3 to make excluding marketing costs. Huge “a very special TV movie” energy

Anyway looks awful, I hate it thanks

This is way cooler than the Disney adults doing “if only the Tsar knew” Disney apologia lol

Me: republicans are nazi germany Libs: hell yeah, preach, say it louder for the people in the back Me: and democrats are vichy france Libs: now wait just a goshdarn minute buddy

Distressed to see American conservatives lead successful campaigns to silence dissent, purge opponents, and fire anyone with a contrary opinion? Shocked that Trump is using the levers of government to get people taken off air? It's been happening to Palestinians for two years.

When communists etc say that the U.S. is a fascist shithole, the entirety of the US media and political class falling all over itself to sanitize, eulogize and protect the sanctity of the memory of an odious fascist bigot like Kirk is part of what they mean

If this happens to a right-wing influencer it's reprehensible. If my tax dollars go toward it happening to a 7 year-old halfway around the world it's the "rules based international order."

Already completely insufferable watching the entire rotted US political / media class go into paroxysms of performative mourning over this, as they preside over unspeakable atrocities all over the country and internationally

Y'all even the fucking literal Weimar liberals weren't mourning Horst Wessel. This is pathetic.

Aughts and 2010s video film criticism was quite something (“PLOT HOLE!” “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS STOCKHOLM SYNDROME”) but nothing typifies it quite like the vlogger poking holes in the flaws of THE STUPIDS. That’s right, the vlogger complained that THE STUPIDS is stupid. If only they had warned us!

There isn’t a single documented instance on the productions of the original trilogy where Gary Kurtz said “George, this idea sucks.” You are pining for a history that never happened. Grow up.

My wife’s inventory in cyberpunk 2077 (her first time playing) is full of clothes and when I told her to dump some of it she adamantly refused because “I might want to wear it”. Underestimated how much she loves the fashion choices

God, the Red Letter Media guys are such scumbags

The Death Star development takes a decade and an entire galaxy-wide apparatus of control, genocide, and domination to produce, but some half-baked underground fascist movement can somehow turn an entire planet into a star system-destroying super weapon without anyone caring? I hate JJ Abrams.

Crazy how the last DLC barely moved the player numbers on Steam at all. Maybe it’d be more popular if its RRP wasn’t outrageously overpriced? Who is going to cough up $119.95 Australian to play this game? Well, not me that’s for sure. Especially with the reviews being what they are

The irony of everyone who parrots “George was surrounded by yes men and didn’t have people who were willing to tell him ‘no’” is that they themselves are so narrow-minded and resistant to pushback against their stupid narrative.

*nazis with swastika tattoos on their faces doing seigheils as they march down the street shouting nazi slogans about all the nazi things they're excited to do* liberals: wow this must be what the soviet union was like

The people declaring, over 3 years before the next presidential election, their intent to vote for a Democratic nominee who is a transphobe are not doing so because they are pragmatic. They are doing so because they want a Democratic nominee who is a transphobe.

Kylo Ren doing this move lives in my head rent free (timestamped) youtu.be/Eik7s6A7Qm8?...

Randomly thinking about TFA again and how a real character that movie presented as plausible was the Stormtrooper Who Is Also A Cleaning Man Who Has Never Fought A Battle Before. Tell me more about how TLJ “ruined” this idea lol

Free Palestine.

Announcing STAR TREK: STARSHIP. Go Somewhere. 2027 on Paramount Plus.

What are with these absurd titles. “The Mandalorian & Grogu” sounds like a joke, while “Starfighter” is like calling your Star Trek movie “Starship”

Fantastic Four is the first MCU movie I’ve seen in ages and it was pretty good! It’s a shame they’ve otherwise squandered so much of their goodwill from all the slop they’ve made that it will probably lose money through no fault of its own

Maybe she shouldn’t have run on tacitly supporting a genocide and courting center right voters then? 🤷‍♂️
