    Barring a shocking twist/improvement, surely the most hilarious $240M ever wasted on a TV show adaptation.   
     

    On the one hand I am sad — just two weeks ago or so when I hadn’t heard any details whatsoever, I was very excited about it and it pretty much rekindled my dormant interest in the books/world, which I am happy about. So I would have preferred a show that I loved+massively well-received, commercially successful, goes 10 nicely paced seasons or whatever. Also a new better adaptation, should it eventually happen (which I expect it will) will have its work cut out for it even more now with the GA than if they had done a great one as the first attempt.
     

    On the other hand, definitely a little spiteful part of me that is kind of chuckling in morbid glee. Along the lines of reasoning “conditioning on being commercially unsuccessful, I prefer commercially unsuccessful+personally disappointing to commercially unsuccessful but personally loved it” & “ conditioning on personally disliking it, prefer personal dislike+broad failure to personal dislike+broad success.”

    All day Th previews and Wednesday advance shows starting at 4, gotta prevent @SchumacherFTW, @chasmmi, @newbie BO buff et al  from spoiling us ;)

    This is barely even out of bounds fwiw. Just this year we have seen both Clifford and ith roll  a full day of previews in and both bond and GB:A roll 2 day early “advances” in.

    I strongly suspect the “overburdened with nostalgia” stuff is coming mostly  from people who were on the pro-2016 side of that whole brouhaha — didn’t want Sony to “give in” to those who hated it by returning to normal with a new quick entry, and especially don’t want that new entry to be viewed as a vindicating repudiation of 2016.   
     

    Personally, having never seen GB1, GB2, GB2016, or in all likelihood GB:A… I find the whole thing hilarious.

    More and more, this feels like it'll be MCU's Force Awakens. 

     

     

    The idea of having a Force Awakens after 26 movies including 3 OW record breakers is pretty funny.    
     

    But yes, I kind of agree.    
     

    We’d better be careful about who gets to direct Spider-man: The Last Home 👀

    I was surprised not more people caught onto this when it leaked out some days back.  I love Spidey, but do we really need a Spider-Man movie that is 10 minutes shy of 3 hours??  Longer than Endgame??  Crazy

    No, we don’t need a spider-man movie longer than endgame. Bit this one is a dozen minutes shorter, so…
