Yeah. It gets brought up all the time particularly in discussions of the prequels that demystifying all of the background elements and secondary characters is something that comes with peril. If you're going to risk filling in the blanks even if you come up with something that a lot of people...

As far as we know. There are some out there who think that Lucas actually got the distribution rights back when he was shopping around a deal for the prequels and he just never disclosed it publicly. They base it on changes to the copyright markings for Ep 4 that occurred for editions issued...

If they decide to go for the bird in the hand. It would be less work for them on their end. Those rights are on a development clock so they can't just squat on them.

His ideas aren't always in keeping with what would best serve the story. Put simply, he's not a writer.

It's more than just flashback scenes based on set photos. Maybe a different sort of flashback though (think acid).

I watched Stuckman's review as well. I think he said it explores the same sort of questions that a new character (ie. Rey) would have when exposed to the assumed truths of the force for the first time. I've seen several reviewers say that in many ways it blows the established understanding of...

One potential fly in the ointment with the whole deal could be the Fantastic Four. Fox doesn't wholly own the rights to them. Constantin Film owns the production rights and Fox has a distribution deal with them and it's not a given that the distro rights themselves are transferable...

His best must have been good enough. One of the most consistent points of praise I've seen so far is for his performance as Luke.

If Marvel does fully integrate the X-Men into the MCU they're going to want someone who will play the role for a decade at least. Jackman isn't going to sign up for that and it would be at least weird and confusing a worst if he's playing the role here but not there.

Yeah, Comcast has pulled out of their bid for Fox.

They mash together a few web shows into their parody. Screen Junkies is another in their mix.

The review embargo doesn't lift for another 2 hours. A lot of the critics who saw the screening last night probably started working on their reviews shortly after that and just decided to hold any sort of response for the longer format. They'll be all over the place soon.

Adam Driver admitted shortly after TFA's release that he had trouble understanding Kylo Ren's motivation towards wanting to embrace evil and destroy everything his parents had helped build and stood for. Abrams told him that a young and impressionable Ben Solo had stumbled across an old...

Jackman going out on Logan is just too perfect really. He probably regrets answering that question about being in an Avengers movie in a way that allowed for any ambiguity (though if you read the full interview that lead to all the speculation he did make it clear he's done). I could see him...

Killgrave is supposed to be returning for S2.

Jesus H Christ people are loosing their goddamn minds on the basis of nothing more than rumors coming out of the premier screening. Rian Johnson is getting death threats on twitter. I'll never understand the degree of entitlement with which some people view these characters and the only...

Does her ghostly visage in the Screenshots banner not suffice?

I've said it before, but it is possible to make what I would consider a good Obi-Wan movie. Something that is as much of a character study as say Logan was for Wolverine. I simply have no faith in Lucasfilm being capable of making that kind of movie. Star Wars is all they do and having a...

If you're wanting something to possibly tamp down on your expectations there are a couple of people who have said it felt a little long, that it drags a bit in the second act, and that some of the characters (Finn and BDT's, who are part of the same story arc) aren't handled as well as they...

Cameron picked up the movie rights to it almost 20 years ago and back burnered it saying that the tech to do it right needed to evolve first. Incidentally the big cyborg who gets his head slammed through the table is played by the same guy who was the shit heel who gave Deadpool his powers.

For the Rogue One premier they had a full size X-Wing outside the theater, for TLJ: The early reactions to the movie are, as expected, very positive. They always are following the premier. Quite a few mentions of major plot twists. While it's just a social media reaction, which are...

One concern I absolutely do not have going into this is it not having some great visuals.

The eyes are a bit off putting and creepy. I half think deliberately so. Probably in part out of loyalty to the source materiel. But it's certainly a risk putting that kind of hurdle in front of audiences who have little to no experience with anime in general. But there is a payoff to be had...

Yeah really. It's hard to know exactly where the dividing line of blame actually falls because DC isn't exactly a standalone entity in the same way Marvel is but it's had some level of autonomy within WB up to now but probably not a lot. If the traditional critiques of studio meddling and too...

Let's just get all these dinos on a boat. Then we can go for the whole original Alien angle when they get loose, only with showing them off in full CGI glory doing terrible shit to the crew. When Pratt gets injured in the mayhem he can give Brice shorthand lessons in bonding with the...

A new contender has entered the Theorydome:

I feel your frustration Chewie.

Just proves that the T-Rex did that insurance company a favor when he ate their guy hiding on the crapper in the first one. Apparently he sucked all kinds of ass at due diligence.

It doesn't sound like DC will be giving Geoff Johns a chance to prove that he can be their Kevin Feige. DC Shake-Up in the Works After ‘Justice League’ Stumbles (EXCLUSIVE)

I half expected her to follow up the "you raised her" line with "you're her pet parent".

Different spot with the same spoilery shot in it, but in HD (it's shown in the thumbnail as well so ...)

So this is Tarantino's retirement plan? He had said he was only going to do two more movies I think. The Manson movie would be the first of those. I don't think an R rating would hurt them much in this case. Star Trek has proven it's audience hasn't grown much beyond those older fans who...

Well if some of the chatter coming out of the current shooting for Avengers 4 is true retconing X-Men and the others into the current MCU won't be a problem, narratively.

His moisture vaporator maintenance, Tosche station runs, and womp rat eradication activities were the stuff of legend.

Well obviously they've seen the SDCC leaked version of the trailer so ...
