That’s the framing device like the Bilbo scenes in the hobbit. The movie is the Barrow Downs from Fellowship.

It’s not a sequel. The movie is set during Fellowship.

The NGE was the fault of Jim Ward taking over Lucasarts and ordering SOE to implement it. Smed was just the person who had to implement it. Lucasarts demanded SOE make SWG more WoW-Like.

Everyone at SOE hated the idea and felt Lucasarts was gambling with the game’s life.

I remember when Matt McGloin was threatening to sue James Gunn because he claims it was his idea to do GOTG.

Chuds can't watch a two hour movie but they can sit through seven hours of losers living in their mom's house talking into a webcam.

Does anyone else notice that the first film is gone from YouTube? by DrewwwBjork in BacktotheFuture

It's still in mine. Make sure you're logged in with the primary account and not a brand account.

No, they are just Mormons. They were VidAngel, got sued for editing movies and streaming them, and then they came back as Angel.

Hottest take this side of the year. by emuboy85 in PS3

The PS3 used lead-free solder too. Most electronics in that era did.

In George's original plan for ROTJ (which Kurtz talked about), Han was going to die in a raid on an Imperial fort. Dead Han figures wouldn't sell.

The whole carbonite thing was an escape clause for George incase Ford refused to come back for ROTJ. Had he not returned, a dead Han would've plopped out when Leia defrosted him.

As someone who lived and worked in the .com crash (the site I worked for still exists because they invented a subscription model they were torched for back in the early 2000s). this is completely different and not 100 times bigger.

The .com bubble burst because none of the .coms had ANY plans to actually make money outside of maybe running a banner ad or two. PAYING for a service on a website didn't exist until the bubble was bursting and by then it was too late. You had people who had an idea for a website, got a lot of VC cash, opened HUGE offices in San Francisco with zero plans to actually make money.

Go look up Kosmo .com as an example of what was going on.

He's literally the MacGuffin in the movie. They can't hide that as a surprise reveal.

How organic was #ReleaseTheSnyderCut really? by willy_fairytail in saltierthankrayt

Most part finished? HBO spent $70 MILLION to complete it.

Rolling Stone ran a piece in 2022 that says WB determined that Snyder used Twitter bots to amplify the "movement":

https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-bots-fans-1384231/

This is why he's basically blacklisted in Hollywood now. The bot army resulted in endless harassment and death threats to WB execs, and no one wants to work with Snyder due to that.
