I haven't gotten around to watching Better Caul Saul yet so I had no idea how Mando just straight up looks like Vaas.

Honestly he's so under utilised in BCS despite being an incredibly charismatic presence that him being a pain to work with would explain a lot.

Plus he's never come back as Scorpion.

To this day one of the worst effects in a big budget film.

There's something weird going on with it because they were claiming it was based on a book by the author Bryce Dallas Howard is playing and also apparently Vaughn is saying that the trailer doesn't actually fully explain the premise of the movie.

Spoilers from leaked plot details the cat is a God, and BDH writing around it has affected reality, making the events of her novels come true. Everyone mistakenly believes it's BDH to blame, but it turns out it's the cat. Also, it is in the Kingsman universe.

The Harry Potter movies managed pretty well. No major upsets. No real major roles had to be recast. None of them bombed. Rowling has completely lost her poo poo since then but they were all out by the time that happened.

And notably they couldn't repeat the trick with Fantastic Beast which were a loving disaster all around.

A large factor is that the Harry Potter movies were produced after the relevant book was out for some time and they had the sequels to course correct some of the, let's call them "idiosyncrasies" of the original book by the screenwriters hired. Fantastic beasts had scripts written by Rowling herself with little editorial oversight resulting in a largely alright first movie then going completely haywire from the second onwards

The scripts were a massive part of the problem, along with the basic conceit of making the Fantastic Beast brand into a large scale epic rather than just fun adventures, but even then the behind the scenes were absolutely plagued with issues.

Actors speaking out against Rowling and not returning, casting Depp and then having to dump him, the timebomb that was Ezra Miller being given an ever increasing prominence.

Even the very first casting rumors, that they had cast Matt Smith in the lead only to drop him for Redmayne when he won the Oscar, leading to them having to pay Smith out for all the films he was contracted too.

It's a demonstration that the kind of smooth production you saw with Harry Potter can't happen anymore in the modern Hollywood/media culture. It was the exact same with LotR and The Hobbit.

You're thinking of Katherine Waterston who played Tina.

She was heralded in the first two films as one of the leads and was a massive deal to the main character, basically his love interest. Then between the second and third film she speaks out against Rowling being transphobic and all of sudden she's in a single scene in the third and Newt has a new love interest that's he's secretly always had, she's just been off screen and Rowling had that plan all along.

I'm not persuaded that the misbehaviour of Rowling and others per se keeps a lot of people away from the cinema. The movie going public is not the Internet and plenty of films with terrible scripts and scandals have done well before.

But it's real distracting: google Fantastic Beasts and do you get publicity, reviews and lots of softball interviews or do you just hear about problems? Hard to get people excited if your property is "that film with the bad issues" rather than "the next Harry Potter film".

Oh, I don't think it keeps people away from the cinema either. I just think it's interesting that going back a decade you could produce a film franchise like Harry Potter with relatively minor production issues, but these days that seems almost impossible. It's the industry angle of it I find interesting.

If the end product had still been of a minimum quality I've no doubt that audiences would've ate it up and not cared, but obviously that quality is harder to deliver when all this poo poo going on behind the scenes.

Mads Mikkelsen really went popular due to the Hannibal franchise and the support of the LGBTQ community so him choosing to star in Queen Terfs franchise to replace a noted wife beater soured me on him.

This is really funny because Fantastic Beasts, at least the first one which is the only one I’ve seen, absolutely feels like an Eleventh Doctor episode of Doctor Who, just with some names changed.

Ironically it might mean that Smith has made more money off the role than Redmayne did.

Also reminds me now that RTD tried to get Rowling to write a Doctor Who episode in like 2007.

If anyone here is interested in roleplaying games, or really just Jurassic Park lore, I made a pretty extensive and elaborate tabletop roleplaying game called Jurassic Park: Edge of Chaos that I just put up on itch.io.

Much like the Telltale game, it takes place during the events of the first movie and acts as a player-driven remix of the events of June 11, 1993.

The movie ends with her eyeing up a bottle of jack after hearing that her ex-husband is engaged and with a baby on the way so soon after their divorce.

I don't know... the film constantly makes a point of Amy wanting to be a mum and her childlessness. It doesn't nothing to implicate her dad or her husband in her addiction. I can't find any evidence that Amy gave a poo poo about being a mum to that degree.

I agree with the article.
