And 1066. I can’t remember what actually happened then but the year is burned into my brain.

Rings a bell. I think England beat Germany in the World Cup…

My only regret is that because I cancelled over the password sharing thing, I can't cancel again over the excessive prices...

Looks gorgeous. Not a hint of malice in those eyes. No sir. Give her scritches from me.

This is where the message isn’t getting through. Comics are a medium, they could be used to tell any stories.

Captain America: The Winter Solider was a pretty decent espionage thriller. Until the end where it turned into a giant CGI fight.

Shang Chi was a pretty decent martial arts film. Until the end where it turned into a giant CGI fight.

So this would probably be a pretty decent slapstick comedy. But under current management, I guarantee the end would turn into a giant CGI fight.

we get another OP asking the same question that’s been asked countless times.

I mean, I did answer the question in the post. I'm just sad because people complain that we don't get enough new stuff, but when that new stuff comes out, they don't go and see it. I can't blame Hollywood for playing it safe, when it doesn't pay off when they don't.

So you're saying... only a clanker can call another clanker 'clanker'?

Hush you, I'm not old, you're old.

In order for this to be scientific, we should repeat the activity.

Picard: Captain Grandpa

Oof. Wil Wheaton is older than Patrick Stewart was when he first started playing Jean-Luc.

And I say... is it too much to ask for both?

Look, I don't want to give the impression that I'm a film snob with my head up my ass or anything. I enjoy a good comic book movie, a mindless action film, all sorts of stuff. Hell, depending on what day you ask, I'd say Rogue One is the best Star Wars film (on the other days, it's Empire). Unpopular opinion - I think 2001 is overrated. It might be art, but I don't find it entertaining. And I agree with M500 - I loved San Andreas. It knew what it was, I could switch my brain off for a couple of hours and quietly snark at it with a friend. Good times.

I just don't want that to be all there is. And the more films like this fail to make hundreds of billions of dollars, the less the lawyers in charge of the studios are going to risk on them in the future. That's the tragedy for me.
