Intellectual property is to Disney what the Ring was to Gollum.

Can't be happy with it, can't let it go. It's killing them, and it's also keeping them alive.

You must travel to Goshen

For a potion that makes the motion

Of a Loatian in the ocean

A notion of devotion

That might work if they tried that 20 years ago.

seems to be trying to answer the question that nobody ever asked "what if Star Trek was more like Star Wars?"

I see Han finally got tired of Chewie's BS.

I guarantee there are villains in the Star Wars Mythos that have Wookie skin rugs in their... dens? quarters? Somewhere.

This feels like the kind of thing that would be a red flag if you saw it in a kids room.

Listen, I know there have been a lot of Star Wars products over the years, but this feels very, very wrong.

I hope this dystopian nightmare story we're living through ends with " ... And they lived happily ever after, to the end of their days."

Ask your doctor if Canada is right for you

One of the blissful things about being in Canada was the lack of pharmaceutical ads. It’s amazing how many other products exist in the world- chocolate! Laundry detergent! - that you can hear about if you’re not being told about medullary thyroid cancer

Question for lit agents and publishers: if I have 2 publish-ready Middle grade sci-fi novels and a novel-length standalone collection of short stories, should I be pursuing representation for all three at the same time?

Theaters are forced to survive on expired brand leftovers and IP-for-IP franchise attempts, while studios can blame “Nobody goes to the movies!” and/or “Go woke, go broke” for their painfully foreseeable mistakes.

Why Predictable Box Office Bombs Like 'Tron: Ares' Hurt Everyone

Theaters are forced to subsist with inferior IP leftovers, while studios get to blame “Nobody goes to the movies!” and/or “Go woke, go broke” for predictable flops.
