  1. See for me, seeing it again on the big screen is the juice.
  2. Nuclear program wiped out completely, nuclear program only set back a few months. Whatever it takes.
  3. That is shit you see in dystopian horror/survival movies. There need to be tribunals when this is all over with Stephen Miller the first up on charges.
  4. We'll see it when they have the Moana live action in 2026. A movie that's one of the most popular streams on Disney+ and barely 10 years old. It's wild to me that these live action remakes are destroying the box office of their animated predecessors. Lilo & Stitch was only a modest hit for Disney back in 2002.
  5. Big "DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS CAR AROUND" energy in that tweet.
  6. Elemental also suffered from bullshit culture wars over a character that was fractionally in the movie for maybe 30 seconds. When part of your audience is scared off by something that's a total non-factor, it can have an effect. But as we saw, it had legs. I don't think Elio does. They put it in the dumbest time after two live-action nostalgia fests. If it came out in a time with none of them and a decent marketing campaign, maybe it would've done better. But if it's a choice between a live-action remake of something that your family already likes vs. something that you don't know how it will be since it's an original story, that latter is bound to lose out when movie going is so expensive for a family and you can just wait for Disney+.
  7. Elemental ended up making 496M worldwide and was a good story. If you look at the top grossing Pixar movies, the top 5 are all sequels. Elio had 84% on Rotten Tomatoes and an A score on Cinemascore.
  8. I'm telling you, they have got to get Annie Jacobsen on Fox News immediately before that toddler decides to lob a nuke at Iran. It's the only way to get it through his moronic brain that nukes will kill all of us.
  9. Opening night for me
  10. Kinda helps to actually market a movie and probably not stick it between two live action nostalgia fests. If you're not going to put any marketing into it then just put it on Disney+.
  11. Beat me to it. Supply and demand better not supply and demand while Trumps is in office!
  12. Kerkez arrives in Liverpool today for his medical. Deal should be signed and announced tomorrow.
  13. WIP is such a great fill-in.
  14. Sure but me, I'm going to party like one of the Ewoks after the Death Star blew up.
  15. Probably have to take out all of DFW metro area, it's the only way to be sure.
  16. Don't you think that if Dedra let on that she used to be ISB to anyone in that place that she would get thrown onto the red floor at some point? Don't you think if she spoke out of turn a loyalist guard might do the same to her? I feel like you're trying a little too hard to be annoyed at something. It was a choice Gilroy made because he wanted it to be her ending to the story.
  17. Does anything happen if a student breaks one of the commandments? Say he or she takes the Lord's name in vain or bears false witness or covets their classmate's wife? If I was a smart ass teen assigned to Saturday school for absences I would complain that doing so would violate the 3rd commandment of keeping the Sabbath day holy.
  18. Who is she going to tell the plans to that would make any difference on a prison planet that's had bolstered security after the previous breakout? All we know is she went from the interrogation room to the jail cell in ISB HQ to the prison. After the Death Star comes online in Rogue One, nothing matters about who knows because the Empire then wants everyone to know and fear them. Maybe she's on the team making widgets for Death Star 2.0.
  19. I'm sure there were backup plans but Galen only knew of the ones on Scariff. I'm sure there are plans in the Emperor's tower on Coruscant. And the Dedra ending was what Gilroy wanted to her to have which was the begining and end her story in an Imperial block. She was raised in a kinderblock and she'll probably die in their prison. It's a better fate than just showing her gunned down on screen and he already had that for Partigas. We know how hard the imperial prison life can be and how it breaks people. Also, it helped to keep her alive because her still being alive after Krennic pushed on her head and then threw her in jail led to Kleya being hunted and almost captured. And let's be honest the real bastard of the Empire is Tarkin. He's the one who does not hesitate to blow up or murder people. Krennic only did that when it was necessary. And as we saw, he runs a leaky ship as did a lot of the ISB.
  20. Scheduled a flight to Colorado to take my oldest on some college trips before she has to decide where to apply starting in August. Shit is getting real.
  21. Quansah is off to Bayer for 30M + 5M in add-ons. We also have a buy back clause. That's some masterful selling. Supposedly we're trying to buy Marc Guehi from Palace for the same amount.
  22. I live in Dallas. I'm okay with DFW getting nuked after this post.
