Like Alien Isolation, Robocop: Rogue City, the Indiana Jones video game that came out recently, etc.

My picks would be Men in Black, Judge Dredd (with Karl Urban reprising his role), and Del Toro's Hellboy series. I think you could make really fun open-world games out of all of them.

As big of a name as Del Toro is, I just refuse to believe he couldn't give us some kind of an ending in some medium. A video game would be great but I'd even settle for a direct-to-streaming animated movie with Ron Perlman and Doug Jones doing the voices.

I know she's gotten steady work and was in Mission Impossible but I'm surprised she never got to be the main character in anything. She's always struck me as someone with leading lady energy but without leading lady roles.

Haley Atwell as Lara Croft was the easiest, most obvious casting to anyone with a brain and I can't believe they fumbled it. God forbid you cast a famous actress who is talented, charismatic, gorgeous, and looks the part. I know she apparently voiced her in an animated series but she really should have played her in a live-action film after getting notoriety from Marvel.

I remember the Pattinson movie mentioned he can’t be everywhere at the same time and The Dark Knight put Bruce in a situation where he couldn’t save Rachel and Harvey. But that was a little different because the police were able to at least attempt saving the other one so it’s not like Bruce hung them out to dry.

But I imagine this would have to be a regular part of his job, right? Gotham has millions of people and lots of violent crime so I feel like he would be constantly having to weigh which civilians are a higher priority to save

It hit all the same notes. Peter becoming more aggressive, losing control, getting organic webbing, etc. It even had him wake up in strange places like Tobey did in Spider-Man 3 after getting the black suit.

After the post-credits in No Way Home, part of me wonders if Feige wanted to do the symbiote story but Amy Pascal blocked it, so they just kept the same script and slightly tweaked it to not have the actual symbiote. That's purely speculation on my part but it would kinda make sense.

I don't think Tom Holland will ever get the black suit now because it would just be a rehash of BND.

Harmony seems to genuinely be a devout follower of Kier. Helena may not be a believer but she’s still an Eagan so she still has some skin in the game.

But with Milchick, I fully believe that he just got the job cause he saw that Lumon was hiring and applied on LinkedIn. He repeats the company slogans and mantras because that’s what he was hired to do. But there seems to be zero emotional investment into any of it.

I almost think that makes him more evil than the other villains we see. We know he’s the most educated and intelligent person out of everyone we’ve seen at Lumon. He also wasn’t raised in the cult. So he’s fully aware that what he’s doing is wrong but continues to show up to work anyway.

I remember the director of 12 Years A Slave said that Benedict Cumberbatch’s character was the worst of all the slave owners for similar reasons. He was aware that slavery is wrong but still owned slaves because it benefited him.

She's one of the few comic villains who has mostly selfless motivations (protecting the environment) rather than wanting power or money. I feel like DC should just permanently reinvent her as an anti-hero cause she's basically just the Punisher for plants. If they did put her in a movie now, they would probably throw in a scene of her trying to kill a baby or something because they'd be too afraid of people siding with the person who hunts down CEOs and oil tycoons.

I think they prefer to stick with the safer villains like Joker or Penguin cause they're just straight up evil and aren't fighting for any real cause. So they don't have to worry about nuance or people in the audience siding with the bad guy.

I even think Uma Thurman could have been great as a more dramatic anti-hero Ivy. Although my dream fancast for Ivy now would be Aya Cash.

If they ever made an Arkham Asylum show/movie like they've talked about doing, I think Ivy would be a good pick for the lead. Most of these villain spinoff movies are bad ideas but she's one of the few where retconning her to be more sympathetic would actually feel organic.

In recent years, I feel like it would have to be Jared Leto. But I'm no historian, so there may have been actors who were even more consistently detrimental to their films' box office. I'm curious if anyone can think of better examples.

Leto has not been in a profitable movie since Suicide Squad and that movie was profitable despite his performance rather than due to it.

It's so crazy to think that he used to actually be thought of as a serious and respected actor.

The main "rule" of Toy Story is that toys cannot act alive while within the line of sight of humans. They can act alive around animals and can act alive around humans if the humans aren't looking directly at them.

Toy Story 5 confirmed that freezing is an involuntary reflex even for toys who are unaware that they are toys.

So why was Woody able to talk to Sid? And why were Sid's toys able to come alive at the end?

No idea if the two of them still talk or not but if they do, I wonder if it's ever come up

I know Paul Thomas Anderson was actually asked what Tom Cruise thought about The Master and he got super butthurt at the reporter (even though I feel like it's a pretty reasonable question lol).

It seems like most media focuses on using kryptonite against him but that's a finite resource and usually pretty difficult to obtain. Surely it would be easier to create some kind of special lamp or something that produces artificial red sunlight because once you remove his powers, you could kill him using any regular weapon.

I know there have been stories where he was trapped in a red light room (like Flashpoint) but you'd think this would be done more often. Especially because it's a way you could neutralize him non-lethally if you wanted.

I think Nathan Fielder, Danny McBride, Ben Stiller, and Ryan Coogler have all gotten better.

I loved Nathan For You but season 1 of The Rehearsal might be the best season of TV I've ever watched.

The Righteous Gemstones was McBride's funniest show and also had great social commentary that his previous shows did not.

The comedies that Ben Stiller directed were very funny but season 1 of Severance was a masterpiece and I think it's what he'll really be remembered for in the long run.

And I think Sinners was better than Ryan Coogler's previous movies. I think he's better doing R-rated original movies instead of PG-13 franchise movies. I hope he's going to be like Nolan and continue to use the credibility he got making superhero movies to make unique passion projects.

I've seen some people comment that she was a Lumon plant but I don't think that's the case

I think she was just a huge misdirection by the writers put there to make you think you were going to watching a very different kind of show. Like I thought the whole story would be about a lonely man slowly coming to terms with the death of his wife and realizing that running away from his problems using technology isn't the best way to deal with them. I thought it would ultimately be something akin to Her in that sense and he would eventually find love again either with Alexa or someone else.

But when he put the picture of his wife back together, the show suddenly turned into a sci-fi thriller and stayed that way from that point on.

I'm so glad I went into the show blind and didn't see that twist coming at all. I remember watching the scene of him reassembling the picture and thinking "This is going on for a weirdly long time....wait why are they covering her face, is she someone important....no fucking way".

I just watched both seasons and it seems like they know

1. At least one language

2. A few (but very minimal) location names but with zero understanding of what those locations are like

3. How to use a computer, badges, sinks, toilets, vending machines, a camcorder, and maybe also musical instruments depending on the person.

4. Basic bodily functions like eating, drinking, using the restroom, and sex

5. Religions….maybe. I was a little confused when Helly yelled out “Jesus!” although maybe that’s just something she thinks you say when you’re surprised and doesn’t know it’s in reference to a religion.

6. How to drive a car…sorta. Innie Irv wasn’t good at it but it seemed like he retained some muscle memory.

I always felt like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would have been more enjoyable as an R-rated surrealist horror comedy, and Severance is the closest thing I've seen to what I think that would be like.

Severance and Willy Wonka are both about megacorps whose offices are nightmarish labyrinths run by slave workers who never leave or see sunlight. Both settings torture and experiment on their occupants, have animal rooms, choreographed musical numbers, and a ringleader who is so charismatic that you kinda forget he's objectively a terrible person (Wonka/Milchick).

I just watched the show for the first time (loved it) and was struggling to figure out how I would even describe it. The best summary I could think of is that Severance is what would happen if Wonka's chocolate factory was run by the church of Scientology lol.

I tried Googling to see if Willy Wonka actually was a partial inspiration for the show and I couldn't find anything. It could all just be coincidental but I thought the parallels were sorta interesting.

So during the campfire scene when Helena made fun of the Kier fables, was that meant to imply that she wasn’t actually a believer in her family’s cult? The other innies (except Irv) had no reason to suspect she was actually an outie so I don’t think that was purely done to make her seem more like Helly

Helena Eagen saying that might explain why Milchick got so mad. His boss who grew up in the outside world was basically using the whole undercover thing as a way to mock Lumon (in that moment).
