“They disrespected the fans!” is one of the most ignorant criticisms out there and it’s never going to be treated as legitimate.

You can dislike something. You can hate it. But if you say, “This story disrespected ME” just because you, as a matter of personal taste, didn’t like it..

I think what annoys me most about those guys is they can’t accept that a conscious choice to tell a story that goes against canon-adjacent assumptions isn’t “disrespecting” TREK. And they have no right to take it as PERSONAL disrespect when someone approaches the universe from a different angle

These are the guys who think that there’s only one way to be a fan and ABSOLUTELY have no cope when a new Trek series explores something that wasn’t 100% made for them and them alone.

But Wil’s right. I know a lot of those writers and they are HUGE fans of Trek

Wil Wheaton put out a YouTube video where he said, “everyone who works on Star Trek today, all of the writers, all of the department heads, everyone who designs all of the things you see, and 70% of the actors ... [is] a lifelong Star Trek fan” and it’s breaking the brains of all the bad fanboys

I want to make it perfectly clear I've got nothing against TRON: ARES. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

But what I want most is for the younger generations to love going to the movies, which means we need more movies for them. Not every movie needs to be for 50 year old white guys.

In 1995, you could make a Brady Bunch movie successful enough to be a hit because kids born a decade after the show ended were still exposed to daily reruns because they were always on.

Today, my kid can just watch what ge already likes when he wants so he’s never force-fed the culture of MY youth

This isn't rocket science, Hollywood. When you make movies for Gen Z & Alpha, they pay to see them. FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S opened to $80M WITH a day & date streaming release on Peacock. When you make movies for their dads, those dads have a choice between the theater or their bitchin' home theater.

if you hear a creative or a creative-adjacent person say something along the lines of “whatever you think about AI, it’s here to stay” they probably just got pAId

By the way: Isn't it time somebody released (or leaked) Tilda, the HBO pilot that starred Diane Keaton as a Nikki Finke-like gossip columnist? Also with, I believe, Elliot Page, Wes Bentley, Jason Patric, Sanaa Lathan. 2011, many cooks inc. Bill Condon, at least two versions.

Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning star of "Annie Hall," the "Godfather" films and "The First Wives Club," among many others, has died. Watch her light up the screen in a few of her most iconic performances. Read more about her life and legacy: bit.ly/471G72Z

I don't argue with anyone who won't watch a Woody Allen movie; it's a personal choice, different for everyone. But Diane Keaton is a big reason I almost never say "[Movie X] is dead to me." My argument isn't "Separate the artist from the art"; it's that movies are never just one person's legacy.

This is a really good article, and as an inveterate shitposter, I keep asking where the adults are.

I don’t *want* to be protesting! I don’t *want* to be arrested for standing up to oppression!! I want a boring government that works and takes care of everyone and I can go be stupid online!!!

i truly loved working on #thewitcher and took great delight in helping adapt sapkowski’s colossal saga into a tv series - in apropos of s4 opening soon (and i got to write an action BANGER) here is my original plot for the main action in s3 episode 6. can’t wait for you to see us topping it in s4!

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Houston, Texas

This prompted a legit LOL

A Hatch Act violation carries a fine of 1000 dollars - but also, importantly, removal from federal service and a five year ban on federal employment

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Making it a point to pick this up two Wednesdays from now WITH the Dan Jurgens variant cover (if my store orders it)

Theesa not a drill!

Every week it’s “do they want people/kids/disabled people/seniors to die?!”

And we keep explaining that yes, they do. Yes, they think it’s good when “weak” or marginalized people are eliminated, and they will do anything to encourage that.

And every week somehow it’s a surprise.
