At least we can rest easy knowing that concept art was eventually repurposed for the Nightsisters, and there's no way anyone could ever sexualize a tribe of leather-clad magical goth lesbian amazons with spiky chain whips.

...(also, imagine saying "maul is the hottest non-human" as if Kit Fisto doesn't even exist)

this is the weirdest political compass I've ever seen

Maaan, all I got was some stupid spatulas.

Once had an order arrive on-time, but the tracking information never got updated and kept telling me the package was "running late" and pushing back the expected delivery date, and then after like a week of that they just said "sorry, it's been delayed indefinitely" and gave me a refund. For an order I'd already received. And I mean, I wasn't gonna be the one to tell 'em they were wrong.

To be clear, this isn't someone actually connected to the Cushing estate saying "hey man, that's not cool," because the estate did actually agree back when the film was being made eight years ago; this is some other studio claiming that, actually, it has the exclusive rights to puppeteer Peter Cushing's digital ghost, because of some contract he signed back in the '90s or whatever.

'Cause, y'know, nothing quite says "justice at work" like watching the all-consuming media conglomerate duke it out with the copyright trolls over who gets to do the deepfakes.

...Interesting that Disney has decided they should be allowed to dispute obscure fine print buried in a contract nobody could possibly remember signing...

hey I'll have you know I keep all my broken earbuds in the same box in the garage with all the other cables and assorted dongles I can no longer identify and will likely never use, like any responsible citizen should

and then you'd just replace them with one of the other three dozen you bought from Wal-Mart for five bucks back in 2016

surely, surely it must be possible to write a movie about a video game that does not include the words "mysterious portal to another world" anywhere in the synopsis. we've been doing this shit since the fucking hoskins mario movie, please, something's gotta give

Yeah skimming it very briefly, it looks like your instance doesn't even show bot indicators, so, no way you could've known really. But there should be a button to turn it off somewhere in your user settings, probably down near the bottom.

I mean I can certainly understand where the confusion may have come from.

Yeah, I mean, jeez, Elvis spends the entire middle of the 20th century taking beach vacations and playing cowboy on Paramount's dime, raking in 3-4 million apiece (which was quite a lot back then) with half a script stapled to either end of an ad for his next record, and somehow that's the golden era of Hollywood, but Hugh Jackman pretends to have an adamantium skeleton for the first time in seven years and suddenly culture's being rotted from the inside-out by a new, omnipresent trend of performers wasting their talents goofing off for the frothing masses. Simple fact of the matter is cinema has been prioritizing screwing around with the audience over the illusion of artistic integrity since 1903 and anyone that says otherwise is probably selling something.
