Happy New Year Testies!

Well....that....escalated. My apologies gentlemen. It seems we can't have discussions about pop culture stuff without someone completely losing their head. I've tried by best to be respectful even when the other party isn't. C'est La Vie.

You're calling my comments....err Fascist? Godwin much? Oh-Kay.

And you know all this....because? Were you there? Was 'Mike Zeroh' there? If there was truly a power struggle. A dispute of creative differences if you will, one of the individuals in this triumvirate would have left already. The gang's still all present and accounted for. Hmm I consider...

Just continuing my trademark irreverent attitude to the whole affair!:o7:

I’ll argue that Bond, Batman, and Spider-Man are IP behemoths that will always be in production as long as people continue to watch films. These are heavyweights of pop culture known all over the World. They’ve brought in hundreds if not billions of dollars over the decades and don’t look like...

Do what I do. Prepare to be disappointed every patch. When something good does come along, it's a pleasant surprise. I've been a backer since 2012 and well....I've since learnt to temper my expectations. Hell I've already come to terms with the possibility that this game will never be released...

TNG was definitely a standalone continuation....an instalment if you will of a great franchise. You had guest stars like DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, and of course Leonard Nimoy but TNG was very much it's own animal. Again...as long as you follow the rules of the 'Universe', you're free to...

As a reader of the books (granted it was a long time ago since I touched them), I wasn't too impressed. My wife (who didn't read the books) did enjoy the TV series as did one of my siblings. I guess that's what adaptations are these days I supposed. General public first, existing fans second...

The Mandalorian worked because it wasn't too reverent to the larger Star Wars IP on a whole. Barely any references to the more famous figures of the Star Wars universe or even famous events. Just the gunslinger/bounty hunter trope in the flesh in what is basically a Scifi Western. It's a success...

Kennedy is still the overall head honcho at Lucasfilm though and therefore the boss of Filloni and Favreau. She wasn't replaced more as she willingly relinquished more creative control to Filloni. So the hierarchy still has Kennedy on top. Filloni serves as overall creative director, a role...

I suppose you won't have to get up to use the bathroom cause well...you're already sitting on it!

Yeah I like a lot of Whedon's stuff. Hopefully he sorts out some of his recent problems. By many accounts, he sounds like a bit of a dick and a bully on set though. I suppose it's nothing that can't be sorted out as long as he has the will to do so. At least he hasn't been 'Me Tooed' or...

As long as they front out the cash and leave the filmmakers to their devices, things generally work out well. Things tend to fall apart when you have too many people sticking their fingers in the pie. Big studios/networks are notorious for interfering during production. If a show lists half a...

The thing about Disney is that they're pretty risk averse. They tried their hand at lesser known or completely original projects a couple of years ago (John Carter, Tomorrowland) and those were absolute bombs. They've since gone on a shopping spree to acquire existing, successful IPs like...

Heh hardly. I don't live in LA. I just work on stuff that shows up in my town.

I know economy seats are getting smaller but this is ridiculous! Now they're making passengers sit on the shitter with NO in-flight entertainment?!

Firefly also benefited being one of the few Scifi/Space Opera shows of it's time. I remember the early 2000s having shows like Stargate: SG1, Star Trek: Enterprise, and not much else. I think many people have waxxed lyrical about it due to nostalgia. I remember trying to watch it a couple of...

I think they (Disney) should just move on and do something else. There's plenty of talent out there waiting for an opportunity to make the next Firefly....give erm a chance. The actors on the original series are either unavailable, unwilling, or dead. I've actually worked with half of the...

That's a pretty poor article that references the Star Citizen Subreddit of all places. That place can be an echo chamber of the vocal minority. I wouldn't put too much stock into Massivelyop, they're not that much better than Kotaku. What this article fails to point out is that many of the...
