How JJA got pushed so high is just beyond me. Just let him ruin every awesome franchise ever...
Whats next? Alien? How about Lord of the Rings!

if she doesn't win the show, she could still play Lara Croft if the movie franchise reboots

"No matter who wins... J.J. Abrams loses... a franchise."

Jersey the dog could get a lead part in the next instalment in the Critters film franchise

*dead er than Sonys Amazing Spiderman franchise....

Starting something doesn't matter when someone else takes it and drives it into the fucking ground. Let's say Harry Potter was based on a short childrens book, say like 10 pages of bullshit rhyming. Would you say that JK Rowling doesn't deserve the credit for making that one of the largest franchises in the history of books and cinema?

Obama doesn't sic the IRS on people, there has been no connecting made to him and the IRS scandal.

No the PR system in this country is unlike any the world has ever seen. It's an amazing propaganda machine used to manufacture consent. You can't trust any media outlet without doing your own research, and doing it is really hard sometimes. Enough about Fox being right and stupid or MSNBC being left and stupid, this is about supporting the State which is what this machine does. It's about getting people to agree to the states plans in whatever they want to do. They are in the service of the state and that is why they should be dismantled.

I'm not sure. Fargo is a great film, one of my favourites, but it's old now and it's hardly a great big cash-cow franchise, so it seems like more of a gamble than a safe-bet. I mean, I'll bet the mainstream audience don't remember the film at all, let alone fondly enough to make a series a sure-fire winner. I hope the writers have a good story up their sleeves.

"Pop culture on the skids", if you want to put it that way, is better exemplified by another reboot of Battlestar Galactica (happening) or a series based on C-tier characters from the Marvel Universe (Agents of Shield) or the new Spider-Man film series. Or a Nirvana/Kurt Cobain musical (also on the cards). Compared to all that crap, a Fargo series sounds brand-new.

I must say, I did not expect that much Dinklage. Looks promising. Comic books have a proud tradition of retcon, good they're trying to undo the franchise suicide note that was X-Men 3.

WTF is the point. In 2.33 we have seen the plot, premise, best action and had the chance of any surprises ruined.
As for this franchise - sorry film - it's all been seen before but hey, if they can rake in a few bucks why not?

Oooo! Big monster, CGI, dramatic acting; "We're dooooomed." Same ol, same ol. Another one to watch on video on a rainy Sunday afternoon..

Please excuse my bored cynicism regarding film franchise.

I would totally go see the CGI "Elder Scrolls Online: The Movie" in theaters.

I will NOT be buying ESO: Online the game. The first time I have not bought an Elder Scrolls game. I don't know where Bethesda got it in their heads that people wanted a TES MMO. The whole idea of playing Elder Scrolls in groups just puts me off.

Plus, no way in hell I'm paying $15/mo subscription, or submitting to any other monetizing scheme.

What really burns me is that they're wasting all this dev time on the project. Not only am I waiting a whole extra dev cycle for my next TES game...but the amount of money they're investing is staggering. What if this brings down the franchise? It's a bone headed move.

Yeah. The logo (an 80s cliché), and dinosaurs (another 80s cliché). "Everything" indeed.

Has it occurred to you that two works both based on 80s B-movies, and therefore not original material, will likely share many traits, without having to copy each other (the Kung Fury project was started around a year ago, according to its kickstarter page)?

80s revival did not start 8 months ago. A number of retro music projects, rebooted film franchises, and B-movie parodies have been popping up for the last few years, it was only a matter of time before a mid/maybe-full length movie happened. Who's late-blooming again?

I love the NHL, and I always get annoyed with advertising when I see Premier League Football (soccer). NHL sweaters/jerseys have some great designs, with standouts really exploring the theme/logo/imagery of the team. And then you've got Premiere League jerseys, with a MASSIVE chest logo shilling for some corporate sponsor and a tiny team logo in a font/height about 1/10th the size of that sponsor logo. No "I" in team, but apparently there are plenty of $'s.

Then again, I guess that even in the NHL there are advertising logos on every single square inch of the boards above the ice surface and under the glass.

Not to mention that damn near every single arena/field is now known as [Insert Bank/Corporation/Conglomeration name here] Center. Remember when those places used to be named for great players or coaches attached to the franchise, or some other thematic element of the team or city? I guess big props are due for Detroit's Joe Louis Arena and NYC's Madison Square Garden, the only non-shill NHL venues I can come up with off the top of my head (did I miss any?).

Sometimes I get all disgusted with how you can't go 2 goddamn seconds without having somebody try to sell you something. Yay capitalism, I guess.

Sorry, /rant off.

dzonny n' poolcleaner, here's another vote just for you two and some unsolicited insight as to perhaps why this vid isn't enjoying some stellar erection err..ascension: Star Wars fans as advanced in age as those depicted here well, they're dying-off or have moved-on. The fond childhood memories of epic cinematic outer-space masturbation have given-way to the worries and trials of a civilization saturated with entertainment, regurgitate art and culture, and the concerns of real-world issues like, "My children will never experience the thrill of cinema like I did because all the fucking movie theaters are either closed, or packed with 16 pieces of cinematic crap that costs way too much for a poor-quality product. Oh that and the demise of language and culture, as the world is turned into a single amalgamate of herd-like automatons.

Plus this song has been parodied so many times as to become nauseating.

But I'm just a cynical bitch so give it some time....more SWG's will come out to play after I remind everyone how much the franchise SUCKS DONKEY BALLS!

DC writers sucked-ass could be one explanation as to why Marvel has always been a cut above. Part of the dynamic are the explanations of origins and powers and the more believable evolution of their characters...not to mention superior illustrators who tended to draw more FEMALE characters (HELLO!?) than the man-crushers over to DC-

DC could hardly develop suspension of disbelief with Superman...he never washed his fucking unitard for one thing, and if it was indestructible, how the FUCK did Ma Kent sew that shit from the fabric in his space pod?? That's just one small wrinkle in his whole MO, before he ever leaves for Metropolis, there's hundreds during the course of this poorly-thought-out franchise-

Oh yeah, another one that always bugged me:If Supermans' supposed to have superior intellect, how come the writers never used him as a platform to teach the younger readers anything substantial and why did Superman's dialogue always sound like some self-righteous beat cop?? Holes, holes, holes....
