You have to wonder who is buying Madame Web - it got a well-deserved kicking from just about everyone who saw it (including me).

It doesn’t sound like an EMP device - it needs line-of-sight and “works by tricking the engine into thinking it is overheating”.

The fact that the description includes “great-grandfather” suggests his family sorted it out for him.

What with Brendan McCarthy falling out with the production team, this sounds like a rough ride. Which, kinda, feels fitting.

I’d have to assume a KC fanbase skews older. Probably one that also doesn’t own a Blu-ray player.
- Comment on Edgar Wright In Talks For "Barbarella" - Dark Horizons 1 day ago:
I despise this remake marathon.
It’s not a remake:
with this dubbed a whole new take on the character.
Wright can, you’d hope, pick and chose his projects and he wouldn’t want to waste his time on a remake.
Barbarella was originally a long-running French comic that has been brought back in American comic books a few times. There is a plenty of material to draw on or space for Wright to go off in his own direction.

It makes it sound like the whole article is from like 2008
Him refering to “DVDs” makes me wonder if this is some kind of time capsule. I’m surprised he didn’t mention Blockbuster as an option.
- Comment on Kevin Costner on physical media: "DVD is not dead" 1 day ago:
I’d have loved someone to ask follow-up questions:
That’s what they’d have you believe.
Who are “they”? Big Streaming? Disney seem to be back on the path of streaming and physical releases and are, presumably, doing well out if it now they realise that they are catering to different (although overlapping to some degree) audiences.
A lot of people that like my movies, they can’t get to a theater
His movies specifically or just film fans in general? Is there an odd Costner fan/shut-in demographic out there who don’t do streaming? Going to the cinema can be pretty expensive these days - In was at the Odeon waiting for my friend’s son to buy popcorn in the “special” Avatar 2 bucket and ended up helping a family at the ticket machine. It was a mum, son and granny who’d just randomly decided to nip to the pictures and they thought the machine had gone mad. I had to tell them that was the price as the next screening for their film had all the bells and whistles which it really didn’t need (I was there specifically for all bells and whistles because it was Avatar 2 and I wasn’t going for the story) and it would be cheaper if they came back at a different time or bought the month-long pass, neither of which they really wanted to do. I could imagine that experience was off-putting and they might stick ti home video. For the price they paid they could probably have bought the complete Kevin Costner filmography on DVD (if they so wanted).

so I’m just going to delete the comment because I’m tired of hearing people put words into my mouth
Yeah, but no we latecomers don’t get to read what you said and we have to try and imagine it (and some of those people are probably sickos). It’s fine to disagree, especially in such cases where there isn’t a right or wrong answer.

Possibly for good reason - of all the four Cocaine Bear mockbusters currently out, Cocaine Shark is only nudged off the bottom spot by Cocaine Jaguar.(by IMDb ratings). For the foolishly curious they are, from “best” to worst:
- Cocaine Crabs From Outer Space (4.9/10)
- Attack of the Meth Gatot (3.2/10)
- Cocaine Shark (1.9/10)
- Cocaine Jaguar (1.5/10)

Wikipedia describe them as a “mini-major” and “large independent”. So,I suppose they get the advantages of size with the flexibility of being independent.

I imagine the script probably needed some padding.
- Comment on 'Cocaine Werewolf' - Upcoming Horror-Comedy Movie Will Huff, Puff, Snort and Kill 2 days ago:
That sounds like hair hominoid racism to me.
Also it’s not “Yeti” any more, they prefer Mi-go. The Y-word has acquired insulting connotations over the years and while they are reclaiming it, it’s their word to use.

I don’t think that much thought has been put into the drug+animal niche of Cocaine Bear mockbusters. That said, I will watch Cracksquatch.
