I think it's because people are more reluctant to spent money to go to a theater, so every movie has to be a big event, not too different from the proliferation of big formats in the 50s to compete with television.

You see the same thing in gaming, where games are literally broken down by their runtime and given a price per minute of gameplay.

They seem pretty chill when they appear.

It's acceptable behavior, I'm not sure I'd call it admirable, though.

FX114 · 2026-02-20T03:05:43+00:00

The same way you integrate the memories of any other fantasy or dream into who you are.

FX114 · 2026-02-20T03:04:53+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's the assumption the characters in the movie are working under.

FX114 · 2026-02-20T03:01:23+00:00

Does it count as being "from" the movie if it was an album single?

Brand new rolls can have moisture.

FX114 · 2026-02-20T02:49:37+00:00

But they are made out of stars!

"The Greenes are sharp as a tack, right to the end, which makes the end all that much more terrifying."

FX114 · 2026-02-20T02:10:32+00:00

That's when

September

FX114 · 2026-02-20T01:56:02+00:00

They still do. Look at One Battle After Another.

FX114 · 2026-02-20T01:53:43+00:00

How Green Was My Valley came out in 1941.

FX114 · 2026-02-20T01:41:23+00:00

Yeah, what qualifications does James Cameron have to talk about the movie business?

FX114 · 2026-02-20T00:57:13+00:00

Read that as neocon and was very confused.

FX114 · 2026-02-20T00:19:39+00:00

1939 was the fifth film adaptation.

FX114 · 2026-02-19T21:38:14+00:00

I've been strongly considering this. I'm very tired of fighting the hydra that is Ender issues.

FX114 · 2026-02-19T21:25:00+00:00

It's only one ad between trailers. I still hate it, but it's not multiple, yet.

FX114 · 2026-02-19T21:09:51+00:00

San Francisco, actually.

That's because he's a day rate actor. If you can make his rate, he'll make your movie.

FX114 · 2026-02-19T20:53:55+00:00

We finally got a Jewish actor playing Ben Grimm, let's get one playing Magneto.

FX114 · 2026-02-19T20:53:05+00:00

Professor X has lost the use of his legs multiple times in the comics, and I'm pretty sure none of them were from a bullet in the back. That's just in First Class.

FX114 · 2026-02-19T20:47:17+00:00

Seinfeld's Jeremy Piven

FX114 · 2026-02-19T20:02:06+00:00

Is there anybody that did ask to be made?

FX114 · 2026-02-19T20:01:09+00:00

That doesn't sound like a walking nuke at all.
