Lucasfilm doesn't use a writers' room for the movies. They have something called The Story Group which a lot of people incorrectly assume is a writing team because of the self-indulgent name they've given themselves. But all they do is oversee the continuity of facts across all of the various...

Since you were obviously paying attention did you notice Gareth Edwards down in the trench next to the guy who tasted the salt?

While there's certainly some similarity to Obi-Wan to be had there is also a major point that is different. Obi-Wan successfully watched over Luke, keeping him secret and safe until the day came that he could become more than a mere moisture farmer. How do you think Ob-Wan would have ended up...

Well I run from hot to cold on this one.

Well stated. With respect to the role those books played at least. I wouldn't call them garbage but they certainly weren't written for my enjoyment because I couldn't even finish the widely beloved trilogy. They benefited greatly from having emerged during those lean years.

I don't need a magic 8 ball to see the disappointment in your future.

I said the same thing last week in a TLJ thread on a different board when the subject of predictions (box office, critical response, etc) came up. If you follow enough fan discussions then you know that the array of expectations and fan requirements are scattered across such a wide field that a...

Is it really so difficult to imagine people having different taste in movies from yourself and that such a difference doesn't make their tastes either objectively good or bad and vice versa, just different? We all go into these movies with a different set of check boxes that determines how well...

ESB was the least well received of the OT at the time it came out, critically and with fans. It has the lowest box office returns on it's original run of the three (though to be fair, ANH's "original run" is considered all of it's various runs prior to ESB coming out in that comparison, but...

Disney-Fox Deal: Bob Iger Discusses Digital Future, James Murdoch, Hulu and $2B Cost Savings We’re also looking forward to expanding the Marvel cinematic universe to include X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool 'Deadpool' Can Stay R-Rated at Disney, Says Bob Iger "It [Deadpool] clearly has...

A deal this big is going to end up having a lot of angles everyone overlooked in the lead up. Especially with the discussions having focused so heavily around just the movie properties.

I just hope they leave FX alone. Landgraf is running the hell out of that channel right now.

They're wanting to get lots of content for their streaming service. Fox not only gives them a huge library, but lots of IP's for cranking out new content, and a controlling stake in Hulu to utilize as their streaming service should they want to. I present your newest, though slightly...

I could see them maybe showing the Baxter Building as a wink towards F4. To do more hey would need to cast actors first and they would probably want to figure out what kind of movie they want their first F4 to be before taking that step. And they have to work out some arrangement with...

Another Simpsons prophecy fulfilled. Circa 1998: Disney to buy 21st Century Fox assets for $52.4 billion in stock; Bob Iger to stay on through 2021

edit: wrong thread

Not the entire genre just the MCU. There will be a clear line of demarcation between pre and post A4 in how the MCU is set up and functions. And that some of those differences will be things that fans won't be expecting. The genre wide implication he has talked about was with regard to A4...

Woody might be climbing on board. Woody Harrelson in Talks to Join Tom Hardy in ‘Venom’

Well it might swerve a little too intricate but with Doctor Strange having introduced the concept of different planes of existence into the MCU the next progression from there could be alternate Earth realities. The Beyonder could rip heroes and villains out of multiple timelines to populate...

Where would the new heroes supposed to have been before they were doppleganged by skrulls?

I liked him in The Tudors as well.

Since you mentioned TFA ... When the criticisms of TFA being nothing more than a rehash of the previous movies started surfacing some of those who liked it in spite of it having so many familiar beats pointed out that Abrams had to return the franchise to a familiar starting point so that the...

It's not just Jackman ... Feige has demonstrated some amazing casting powers so far but can he find another perfect duo for Xavier and Magneto to make it 3 in a row to hold down those roles.

They could also use Secret Wars as an avenue for introducing the X-Men and mutants in general to the MCU.

Or just keep 20th Century Fox around to serve that purpose. It's an incredibly minor thing but it would be a shame to see the searchlights and fanfare disappear from the movie landscape.

Yeah the reviews that haven't been positive hand tended to lite it up. The people who don't like it seem to really hate it. The reviews that have had more moderate issues with it have usually mentioned ill-timed humor (with comparisons made to the Marvel movies) and Finn/Canto Bight storyline...

Spider-man won't show up in Venom ... for now. Sony has Holland signed to a 6 picture deal and the arrangement with Marvel is for 5 films. They have one more on the hip than can use him for if they don't extend their agreement with Marvel. Though they would probably use it for some sort of...
