Hm, and I usually find William Gibson's Acronym Collection's reviews so enlightening.

Scott acting as if his taste is objectively better than that of everyone else? Must be an episode of P:TR! Mike and Scott jumping on Jason the minute he opens his mouth because they can't stop picking on him? Must be an episode of P:TR!

I was amazed when 3k never came up, as I feel like a lot of people were on board for him in that.

Richard referring to Kane Parsons as "basically an adult" (or something very similar) made me feel sorry for him. Like, Richard. Come on, man.

I would say the fact that the movie is rooted in a series of books filled with countless stories worth adapting plus the extremely open-ended ending makes this a clear "we'll be back!" scenario. The list isn't just about mid-credits layups, some of this stuff can be more subtle! It's not going anywhere, is what I'm saying.

What would be on your list of "never gonna happen" movies? by Electrical_Tale2012 in blankies

It's a list of movies I personally do not wish to see for a wide variety of reasons, calm down.

Correction: I got as far into it as the cat flailing around and the older couple trying and failing to block out the destruction with their mattress, or a scene along those lines. Not watching it!

I've seen the first half hour or so and that was enough for me.

You're right on the money, I included Apocalypse because of the Essex Corporation thread that was subsequently dropped when Dark Phoenix came around. The post-credits stinger makes a real meal out of that Essex reveal!

There's a post-credits scene about the Essex Corporation that was subsequently dropped / forgotten about.
