@kirkneverdied Marvel wanted to make a movie called Blade, but not a movie about Blade. This was the replacement hero era. It would have been like Ant-Man 3 or Dr. Strange 2 with the main character made 2nd fiddle.
Ali, on the other hand, wanted to make Blade, which is why he lost interest.

@TVGrimReaper "Platform with a better Cut" won't necessarily get you anywhere. A couple PC game companies took this deal from Epic Games over the major platform, Steam, and it did not work out.

@TVGrimReaper Execs are quite sure the Encyclopedia bundle is returning.
They're expecting to see a new Funk & Wagnalls volume A at local grocery stores by early next year.

@TheStingisBack @Birdman00530981 As an additional nod to Spielberg, S3 E6 "Mind over Mayhem" has a side character named "Steven Spelberg", a "boy genius" in charge of a research institute's very familiar looking robot.

@TVGrimReaper If the USMNT win the World Cup, then aliens from Andromeda come to Earth and challenge the USMNT to a game for the fate of the Earth, Fox, who has rights to all the USMNT's intergalactic games (in the US), believes this could draw MASH Finale ratings.

@nickgillespie @reason AI helps the small company I work for accomplish massive things. Weeks and months worth of work are accomplished in days and hours, our product is more stable and secure.
Regulations are designed to stop sci-fi movie problems, not real life.

@d4doome Yes, start here. Other than Red Storm Rising, the books are in sequence/same universe. They're fun enough.
In Clancy's Books there are good guys and bad guys, competent guys and incompetent guys.
He likes the competent bad guys much more than the incompetent good guys.

@ScottMcCreaWest It must exist in some vault.
Random thing: If you watch Chechik's short lived but clever show "The Middleman", what I assume is one of the teddy bear costume from The Avengers shows up in an episode.

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ScottMcCreaWest Actually, I do wonder what The Avengers looked like before being butchered from 115 minutes to 89. The biggest problem with the movie is the incoherence. I'm not going to say Chechik is an amazing director, but shown he's better than what we got.

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ScottMcCreaWest I don't think he inserts into The Avengers well. Wild Wild West seems easy; it would be similar to Maverick.
(Don't think too hard about the final product in either case when they finally made it to screen).

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ErickWeber If he cares only about selling himself to Hollywood, then it does that. And that may be where he is.
It does nothing to sell Supergirl to the public. They are sick of being told to apologize for existing wrong. If it has any tiny effect, it hurts the movie.

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ErickWeber @erinliangk Anyway, not here to pick a fight. We'll disagree on things, but you're the best at calling out crap prestige films.

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ErickWeber @erinliangk The problem with the consensus is that I have to discuss reviewer habits at the time, which don't include you, to get at why it's not really great. Which isn't to say you don't agree with the statement.

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ErickWeber @erinliangk My wife was practically crying at how bad TLaT was, and she's far more forgiving than me. She desperately wanted it to be good or even OK.
I'm not going to say it didn't bother you. I'm saying I think you've missed how audiences felt.

@TVGrimReaper Bob Iger was going to invent ChatGPT, but Chapek said it couldn't done when he took over and threw away all Iger's plans.
Bob Iger was going to buy Facebook in 2005, but he couldn't because the dog ate his homework.
Bob Iger once caught a fish THIS BIG.

@jimgeraghty Last Week I was doing an Improv show. Three other performers in the group had to do scenes in a Steel Mill. None knew what a Steel Mill looked like.
One, a guy around 30, asked after the show.
Me: "You know the end of Terminator 2"?
Him: "I've never seen Terminator 2."

@SonnyBunch I'm a little unsure that Tom Cruise needed to remind us he's Tom Cruise. Maybe during the "dark times", but not now.

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ScottMcCreaWest *"Never did no research". Sometimes cutting a tweet down to size doesn't work how I expect.

[Kyle Olson @KyleADOlson]

@ScottMcCreaWest And more importantly here, I cannot find any evidence of a controversy.
This is the "Bond Clown" problem. Someone says "People thought <this>", but they never did no research. They assumed how people felt. It gets repeated over and over until everyone KNOWS it is true.
