The new Resident Evil movie might be bad, but it has the cat from Dark Souls 2 playing Jill Valentine.

Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed he walked away from a high-profile role as Freddie Mercury because the surviving members of Queen wanted a substantial part of the film to focus on them.

Speaking to the US radio host Howard Stern, Baron Cohen said he hoped to present a “warts ‘n’ all” view of the legendary singer’s hedonistic lifestyle, but Mercury’s former bandmates were more concerned with protecting their legacy.

The comedian and actor said: “A member of the band – I won’t say who – said: ‘You know, this is such a great movie because it’s got such an amazing thing that happens in the middle.’”

“And I go: ‘What happens in the middle of the movie?’ He goes: ‘You know, Freddie dies.’ ... I go: ‘What happens in the second half of the movie?’ He goes: ‘We see how the band carries on from strength to strength.’

it must rule to be this myopic and stupid

Making film adaptations of video games that themselves are already heavily inspired by well known films is just more of that bulletproof Hollywood logic.

ok I get the physical books vs. ebooks debate but if there is a person who buys physical books just to end up cutting them in half with a knife, then they need to buy a loving ebook reader and use that instead

also those are three of the most "i'm smart look at me!!!" books in the world lol

Dostoyevsky's books were actually initially published serially as well. That, I think, is The Idiot so... it should really be in 4 parts. Karamazov is written as like 10+ books I think, etc.
And it wouldn't be so horrid if he bothered to have them properly re-bound, that's not unheard of either
but that is monstrous work

Disney cut an entire song from Muppet Christmas Carol. it's not a good song ("When Love Is Gone") but it has a reprise at the end that now makes no sense.
