The dramatic irony of racist 40s people being saved by secret colored superheroes could work I'm pretty sure Marvel did this in one of their "the real (secret) first ever superhero who nobody ever mentioned before but was totally a real part of the comics universe was also black" comics. Long/lovely story short, his costume ripped one day* and people realised he was black and had to give up being a hero and live under the sea * No. Not that part of his costume.

When are they going to remake The Neverending Story? Because here's where the kids are today in that: Bastian: A neckbeard scientologist Atreyu: Handsome. A while ago he was my friend on Myspace and he was very nice. Very into tattoos now. The Childlike Empress: Cute af and is a dancer. The reboot could be Bastian peering into some mysterious tome and as he's reading the book as an adult, this time Atreyu has to fight Scientology instead of the Nothing. The Childlike Empress begs Bastian to remember his true self and has to give her a new name because Scientology is destroying her world. Atreyu dies thanks to L. Ron Hubbard and Bastian breaks down and cries out a new name for The Childlike Empress and learns the moral of the story that Scientology is garbage. Atreyu comes back riding on Falcor who was really a Thetan all along.

I've heard a couple of songs from Hamilton and they were pretty good, IMO. But I don't know much about rap in general, and I unironically like chaphop, soooo...

the only song that is ok in the entire thing is cabinet battle 1 (and it's pretty much just because of the track/beat) and i never see that brought up as one of the great songs in any article about the play so i know i'm right.

thathonkey posted:i saw a commercial for the new Ben Hur in 3d. holy loving To be fair it looks so obviously bad from every frame of footage that I think the studio is just trying to bury it. Plus y'know, who under age 50 has ever even tried to watch Ben-Hur if they're aware of it at all? It's like remaking Animal Crackers or How Green Was My Valley-- yeah it's a lovely thing to do but can you tell me with a straight face that 80% of the prospective audience for a remake will have even heard of the originals, and that 19 of the remaining 20% have even bothered to see them? Celluloid Sam posted:sounds like I need to actually read the neverending story Do it fatboys. The first movie only comprises the first half or so of the book, with a few bits in the middle repurposed for the second movie. The book's second half goes into weird 70s German "false manhood" territory where Bastian wanders Fantasia using the wish power of the Auryn to do rad poo poo while each wish eats at his memories until Atreyu and Falkor have to stop him from becoming a rampaging God-Prince and have him remember he's not some magical hero but a Goon kid in a bookstore. Feels prescient given how much escapist culture was about to blow up after the book was published, really.

So the floodgates were already opened. This is going to utterly suck. Also I try to rewatch Ben Hur every two years, I love that movie, up there with Spartacus.

my parents saw Hamilton before it went on broadway and they said that the actual play was better than the soundtrack, which they didn't really like either. but i'm not about to wait in a lottery for months and pay over a grand for a terrible seat in order to find that out for myself

IN 3D" made me do a double-take. i thought for sure it was just some new generic franchise the studio pulled out of its rear end but they actually had the gall to use a classic title instead for unknown reasons.

"Name Recognition" is one of the golden fallbacks in Hollywood and has been more or less since the beginning. "Oh gee I don't know why this lovely chariot movie with Rasta Morgan Freeman didn't succeed. It was based on a venerable franchise that market research said was sure to catch the eyes of the general public." "Hrm I guess you're right. I'm not going to fire you. Must have been a weird fluke."
