I find it funny that the tagline is "The Defining Chapter" when the entire movie is an adaptation of one chapter of the book. A background event from that chapter, no less, because this is Middle Earth and we have to have epic fantasy fights in our adaptation of a literal children's book.

Question for all:

What's a worse idea? Turning the Hobbit into three movies or turning Newt Scamander Fantastic Beasts into three movies?

The Hobbit, because rather than just being an idea, it's an actual story stretched out to agonizing length.

Fantastic Beasts at least is just a premise - "what if there was a series of movies about the guy who found all the creatures in a Hogwarts textbook and his adventures in finding them?", which is a basic premise about as simple and effective as Indiana Jones.

Just wanna empty-quote this because seriously, at least with Fantastic Beasts you can invent poo poo out of whole cloth so there are no dead zones and make a cinematic story, whereas with the Hobbit not only are you adapting a book to screen but you're doing it in the most painstaking way possible turning the plot into taffy you can chew on endlessly but never seems to really go anywhere.

To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.
Those Star Wars Rebels posters are the first good look I've had at anything from that since I first heard about it and honestly, just judging from those, it somehow manages to look even dumber than what they had going on before the Star Wars slate got wiped clean of decades' worth of expanded universe buildup. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the only reason Disney did that in the first place was to have a completely clean surface on which to splatter their own brand of officially-sanctioned fan fiction that's really no different from the old except that it has the Disney stamp of approval on its forehead from birth.



On the other hand, the featured Dominion posters are honestly pretty funny.

Awful is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.
I watched the Star Wars Rebels thing with my 8 year old son this weekend. Its kind of strange because the main character is Aladin. Not even like Aladin. He's Aladin. I Guess it makes a lot of sense in a board room discussion sort of way, but I had a knee jerk reaction to it. It was really strange seeing another franchise crammed into Star Wars.

My son loving loved it.

Although I think that poster might have been for the international market.



I've only seen a handful of Indian films but I'm pretty sure I recognise almost every character stereotype they've got lined up there.

Now this is a movie I'd pay to see. Sir Ian stumbling around piss-rear end drunk, shouting at pedestrians outside of liquor stores. Sort of like a grimy version of Peter O'Toole in "My Favorite Year."

Man is this thing a mess...
