Welp, it didn't take long for the Tangerine Tyrant to get his panties in a wad over South Park's latest stunt, which is funny, because it's exactly what Matt and Trey wanted out of him. Despite it being the most juvenile South Park has ever been, there are genius-level machinations under the hood here when you understand how badly this could go for the company that just paid them $1.3B...

Yeah, I posted some of that news (not this video), then the presidential election and anti-woke thread. I'm still not watching the show, but I do find this hilarious.

Well at least this one didn't take like 10 years to come out

I'm going to guess it's another one of those visually stunning but shallow story and character type of movies. Also, that annoying human kid (Spider or whatever tf his name is) is gonna in this movie.

They showed the trailer just before watching FF4:FS at my local theater and I was not impressed. Fuck off Cameron. You signed off on using AI on your own 4K editions of Terminator movies. They look like shit.

This still looks a lot better than that, but then again T1/2 were ahead of their time visually.

As someone who is part of that group...yeah, trying to make something to not encourage shipping/other stuff is never going to happen. Those with the ability to do so are more than happy to alter reality just to make it so. Canon is a plaything.

Well, I was being sarcastic - The trailer is leaning hard into the Nick and Judy ship. Like, ridiculously fucking hard. The only ones at Disney who didn't know what was up here was the higher-ups who still think a ship is just something on the sea.

edit. Oh, and the movie features a big buff horse man... They know what they're doing.

Ah, they are going the Bad Guys 2 route. Respect for that. And before anyone even tries to suggest that the makers of Bad Guys 2 aren't leaning into things.

Non-AI-generated, hand-drawn, and NOT by Hayao Miyazaki.

The artist/animator is insanely talented in that regard; Because going in it almost made me believe it was the next Studio Ghibli film. But it seems to have just enough originality to make it Ghibli-inspired, and not a complete copy-paste

Another Bredan Fraser movie after his comeback. I don't think I ever hated any of his movies (Except for The Mummy 3). Whale was an amazing, emotional movie and this looks to be the same case

Except for The Mummy 3).
That one wasn't even his fault either. They couldn't get their actress who played Evie, because she was pregnant at the time. I don't like the third movie either. I'd just keep it to the first two. It is wonderful to see you in movies again.

Okay, "hate" is probably too strong of a word, because there were some elements in Mummy 3 that I unironically liked. Kinda annoyed the studio teased the 4th movie set in South America at the end, because they thought their decision would lead to success.....

had no idea they a new Aliens out that's a series done by the guy who did Fargo, nor that the guy also did Legion, nor that he was raised on British comedy with a father who was trained here
‘Alien: Earth’ is landing on the small screen on 13th August in the first TV outing for the much-loved and multi-sequelled Alien franchise—and we’re bringing you a special bonus drop to celebrate. Showrunner Noah Hawley is the man behind it, and with ‘Fargo’ and ‘legion’ on his CV, it’s fair to say he’s pretty good at putting stuff on the telly that it seems like would be tough to make work on the telly. He chats to both Mark and Simon all about realising this ambitious project, adapting a stone cold classic, and his surprising love for British comedy.

Plus we’ve got Mark’s review of the series, hot off the embargo press. Where will it place in the Alien canon leaderboard, and can it undo the sins of the later sequels? Don’t miss the Good Doctor’s verdict, and do send your takes in to us too.
