    Did it get better? I watched the first episode and it was far too different from the books - and every change was for the worse.

    Streaming rights to actors appear to be based on the show being available to stream, at least partly. Not available to stream = no royalties to pay out. Personally I would have gone with a royalty per showing but with the distrust between studios and actors on those kinds of statistics I understand why that is not normal.

    My guess is that Willow is a one off that did not pan out. Taking out any of the Star Wars stuff could make a fan think all of the Star Wars stuff might be on the possible chopping block. Same for the Marvel stuff.

    I am not a fan of the character animation at all for this one.

    It might not be a great movie or even a good one(*) but I think the biggest problem for the Marvel movies is brand fatigue AND the switching out of the cast at the exact same time. (*) - I'm not the person who can judge these things, I only saw a bit of the movie where all the good guys were fighting each other and I couldn't even make it through that movie, on the other hand the D+ show with the current Captain America I thought was pretty good.

    What I "Yam" is garbage. I used to be all for having copyright expire but this has me rethinking that. (And the Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse ones). Then again even talentless hacks have to make a living somehow.

    They are horror movies since it is the "thing" to turn old IP that just came into public domain into horror versions to make a quick buck. Putting any more thought into then that means putting more thought into it then the people that shovel this kind of stuff out.

    I'll be the odd man out to say it is straight up pandering and the deep fakes while decent were nothing special. Certainly not worth the seemingly never ending amount of time they were on screen with essentially nothing happening.

    I'm getting so old I don't remember "The Bad Guys" at all, or that it ever even existed...

    The point is that our idea of ethical is by no means universal.

    That first look image all by itself shows it will be stupid. As in that is a stupidly over long apparatus to fire a needle of some kind to deliver what appears to be some kind of drug. All that length does it make it more unwieldy. And a scope? Is that a joke?

    The Romans and most other societies up till "modern" times would have considered it nothing specially gruesome.

    I guess this studio (or is it different companies behind this, Winnie the Pooh and whatever other one came out) made some money on the other garbage they released when characters hit the public domain.

    At least for a PC a new one was required to play new games after a couple years (at the very least a replacement graphics card). I have had the same PC now for 7 years and it still plays the latest titles. Though it is old enough that I am buying a new one - something is going to go on it soon since they don't build them to last. Smartphones, I've always kept till the existing one started going wonky, usually three to four years.

    Only a teaser? Good thing this is the last season, those kids would be needing walkers before they got round to filming another season.

    That trailer looked interesting enough to give it a try but I still have a problem with it looking so modern. The original Star Wars managed to look completely different from modern architecture(*) at the time (while heavily borrowing early times) - this one still has the modern suburban look with modern looking cars (that require modern looking roads even though they don't touch the ground) but the real kicker is the guy's glasses that look like they came right from Amazon. (*) - some of this may have been luck. Luke's hat in deleted scenes looked like it came from a catalog and his female friend on Tatooine had an outfit that didn't quite look as foreign as the other outfits did.

    Too young! The wife and I dedicate this Halloween's Young Frankenstein viewing to Terri.

    The series is done but don't worry - there is no way Loki (the character) is going to stay where he is. A very good chance of not being the same actor again though.

    No no no. KITT is NOT an SUV!

    I'm thinking this one is going to be so cheap (compared to a starship based series) that they renewed it to have something to show next year. I still remember the Starfleet Academy episode of Next Generation where they added a stupid sound effect when someone opened an obviously normal 20th century door...

    I wonder how many little old ladies they tried to con...

    Paramount would love that, Springtime for Hitler being an unexpected smash hit... But I really don't see that fate for THIS show.
  23. Dynaman
    Love Wallace and Gromit so I'm in. Not a fan of Shawn the Sheep though.

    Somebody took the original quote for a review of ST V and made it "why are they putting shackles in theaters?" I got a kick out of that review.

    People already have no need to do a lot of dangerous jobs. The only reason they are still doing them are cost effectiveness (though even that is evened out by lack of need for insuring a human life) and not wanting to fight with the unions for such lines of work (yet) since the other jobs covered by unions still need humans. Humanoid bots are not even required for most of them - teleoperated modifications of existing designs would work fine.
