i wonder how many of relatively high ranking people who work at disney/lucasfilm/marvel have fallen for their own marketing about how powerful and important their stories and brands are if people who work at the US state department and pentagon can believe the US really does spread Democracy around the world, some management at Disney must really believe in protecting the Magical Kingdom

I know a lot of people are down on Marvel movies, but I'm excited for the Fantastic Four and hope it is good. I just was them going up against Mole man, frightful four,, psycho man,, annihilus, namor, doom, or galatcus and the movie being good.

I wonder if disney announcing a bunch of titles based on old expanded universe books is in part due to them deciding they own said books after buying lucasfilm but that the contractual obligation to pay royalties didn't transfer to them and good luck beating us in court

it's like marvel that some of them will be bad and some of them will be good and we'll probably all watch the good ones until we eventually just get sick of the whole thing; by which point disney will have bought warner brothers and they'll be announcing each of the dune prequels getting an individual miniseries

Part of what makes Mandalorian great is that it's episodic television in an era when that's actually a novelty, in addition to the fun of a casual space western that gets to play with all the tropes without the baggage of actually being a lame cowboy show. Hopefully the other new series follow suit and don't try to be serious serialized prestige poo poo.

I find the idea of Adam Driver murdering all of Ford’s iconic characters, freeing him from endless geek recursion, pleasing), forcing us to accept that Shia LaBeouf is the best the present can offer us. He may also get actually killed on set, because he is old and brittle and things really like crushing him, but I can’t imagine he definitely only agreed to this because he was promised a fake death.

Mr Hootington posted:but says Indy dies with him You know those moments where the intimately tragic reality of the human condition hits you? Like, the moment you realize a parent is old and will actually die; not know it intellectually, but temporarily experience ahead of schedule the feeling of them being removed from existence? For me it happened last year when I met up with my mom for dinner and noticed she had the same deeply lined pattern of folds on her elbows as my grandmother did. Having that involuntary memory shunted me into a brief state of almost gnostic awareness that time is real, is eating my mother slowly and, once finished with her, is coming for me. Anyways, encountering the idea that Harrison Ford actually thinks a studio gives a poo poo about his wishes vis a vis Hat-Whip and are going to retire the character, instead of recasting it or having a cgi Ford traipsing around long after he’s dead, so long as there’s money on the table, gave me a similar experience. mysterious frankie has issued a correction as of 19:28 on Dec 11, 2020 |

Dead or merely unconscious? Indy isn't sure, nor does it make much of a difference right now. The real problem is who's moving on the floor. Chinese red army soldiers shout orders and responses at each other in mandarin. There's a sound of several coke bottles being opened at once. What follows next is horrible. They begin pouring some, but crucially not all, of the soda from the bottles. Then we hear the unzipping of flies and the bottles are filled again with Chinese urine. The Chinese soldiers place the now tainted cokes back on to the assembly line to be capped and distributed to the unsuspecting consumers of America. As they reach for another dozen or so of untouched colas Indy grand his whip

Back in the 90s, he would pull 16+ hour days to work on what he considered the most important thing in existence, and demanded that his employees do the same, because they were working on the most important project in human history, which would revolutionize the world and Change Everything. This company, Zip2, was basically stupid internet yellow pages. He continues to use this same "energy" to underpay people working in lovely conditions at his current companies, because they're "changing the world" and "forging the future" etc. etc. And it doesn't seem to be a cynical grab, he does seem to genuinely believe that what he's doing is important because he is the protagonist of history. It just so happens that doing this allows him to be a bastard as a result. A sincere and genuine rear end in a top hat is still an rear end in a top hat. Similarly, I absolutely believe that the folks at Disney are huffing their own farts, and using that energy to get people working for them who "would do it for free" because "they love the company and what it stands for". See also, comic companies, education start ups, gaming companies... Basically any company that uses enthusiasm for the medium and/or abstract social good in lieu of pay.

Hodgepodge posted:it's going to perfectly thread the needle and be sterling-grade woke and appallingly racist at the same time remember when the Canadian band Viet Cong changed their name because it was offensive that they'd use the name of a terrorist group that caused people pain and trauma. quote:After more than a year of completely justified public condemnation, the band Viet Cong has finally changed their horribly offensive name. Going forward, they will be known as Preoccupations, as announced on Thursday. Last March, Oberlin College canceled the band’s show following outrage over the band naming themselves after the violent Vietnamese terror insurgency known for enslaving, torturing, and killing thousands of civilians during the Vietnam War. The band announced last September that they would change their name; seven months later, they actually have. “We apologize to those who were adversely affected by our former band name. This was never anticipated nor our intent,” they said in a statement. “We are artists and not politicians, we understand that the name reflected pain to some individuals and we are happy to change it and move on and focus on our music.”
