Along with “Blood Meridian,”, I would love to see something finally done with “Confederacy of Dunces.” Jack Black and Zack Galifianakis have both supposedly been approached to play Ignatius, but both are rapidly aging out of the part.
A picaresque anti-hero appeals to me, but I’m not sure it’s a commercially viable project unless we make IJR a Transformer or a blue alien from Avatar or whatever."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

the closing credits in the last episode did shed a whole new light on the show. I just found myself thinking some of the stuff never happened or a lot of poetic license. But it is true the 100th had the most casualties of any bomber groupOriginally posted by Mike View PostComment

I disagree with screaming Fatty Arbuckle and think Andor is relatively good and look forward to Season 2. The first season of Mandolorian and Kenobi were both decent, IMO. Boba Fett and Ashoka were BAD. Mando got worse as it went along. Haven't seen and don't plan to see Skeleton Crew or Acolyte.
Of course I've mentioned I have no particular reverence for the original trilogy. I think they're good movies but I don't get irrationally angry over those characters getting "ruined" by subsequent sequels, remakes, whatever.Comment

Perhaps these types of experiences just aren't important to you, but to many people, they are. Lots of people, hunger for cultural experiences that inspire them, tell timeless stories, or invoke strong emotions, and they can no longer find those experiences, because the people who used to make them now produce an endless supply of soulless crap. It's not a trivial problem To make matters worse, many of those experiences have been repurposed these days to insult them, to inflict guilt, and to indoctrinate them with repulsive political messages. Getting angry about it is anything but "irrational", but you view it that way because you literally just don't give a shit about any cultural thread or tradition enough to be angry if it gets vandalized. Either that, or you haven't lived long enough for it to happen to something that you value deeply.Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostComment

It's entertainment originally aimed at kids or early teens. I'm in my mid-40's. I don't believe there's a single tv show or movie that I loved as a kid that would cause me to post furious rants on the internet as I melt down over having a childhood memory "ruined". Maybe at one point when I was 20 years younger I might complain about something like that, but not now. I don't think investing so much of your personal identity in a particular work of art is healthy. At least not as a consumer. As a creator, yes. But anyways let's take a movie I like far more: Ghostbusters. My appreciation of the original is not lessened or diminished in any way by the existence of crappy sequels and remakes. I saw Ghostbusters 2016. It stunk. That's not because women ruined the franchise, it's because it was literally unfunny and dull and the special effects were cartoonish. I have never seen the Paul Rudd ones and probably never will. That's fine.
