Zombie was written by Dolores O'Riordan inspired by the IRA attack in Warrington (England, 1993).

Released as the lead single from the album No Need to Argue (1994), it became The Cranberries' biggest hit: #1 in Australia, France, Belgium, Denmark and several other countries, #14 in the UK and #1 in the US alternative charts.

Ghostbusters (official theme of the 1984 film) was composed by Ray Parker Jr. in just two days. The production needed an urgent theme and called for something fun, lively and about Ghostbusters.

It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in August/September 1984, sold over 1 million copies in the US alone and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.

Huey Lewis sued Ray for plagiarism (saying it was too similar to "I Want a New Drug"), the case was settled out of court.

[Jen Blood @JBLOODonly1]

The new #Stargate series was designed to welcome new viewers, respect canon, and satisfy longtime fans.

As others (including @BaronDestructo) have pointed out, many of the reasons being floated for its cancellation simply don't hold up.

Save it... or release it.

Stargate was cancelled because the fans would have liked it. The most bizarre reason in history. https://t.co/X8BBu4rxGn

Amazon chose WAR with STARGATE fans... In one fell swoop they turned excitement and goodwill into anger. Congratulations @AmazonMGMStudio @PrimeVideo on making enemies out of the very people who would have been your biggest supporters.

The Thundercats (1985) intro still hits like pure childhood adrenaline. ⚡️🦁

Bernard Hoffer’s epic theme, the Sword of Omens, Lion-O’s battle cry, and the whole team charging into action. Just raw 80s Rankin/Bass power and nostalgia. This is how you open a legend.

- Peter foi um daqueles eventos raros do cinema, a pessoa certa e no momento certo.
- Vejo que hoje seria impossível ter um senhor dos anéis com aquela qualidade, por mais que a tecnologia tenha avançado.
- Mas o principal fator que resultou nesse sucesso foi a dedicação e vontade de fazer acontecer de todos os envolvidos.

Goodbye to an absolute legend.

What a sad day for Buffy fans.

Seriously, telling @martingero and @barondestructo that their version of Stargate won't work is like telling Tony Hawk he doesn't know how to skateboard, like do you REALIZE who the fuck you're speaking to??

There is more to the story behind the reason why the Stargate show on Amazon was cancelled.

The original greenlighters at Amazon, Nick Pepper and Matt King, who liked Martin Gero's work that respected the Stargate lore, have been moved, let go, or restructured under a new Amazon MGM studio leadership.

Under the new leadership with Peter Friedlander, who is an ex-Netflix head of U.S. and Canada scripted division, and Blair Fetter, a Netflix vet who ran “spectacle series”, they shifted focus towards maximum broad and global appeal for expensive worldbuilding shows.

They want more shows like Stranger Things, 3 Body Problem, Ozark, etc, which were massive hits, and any new shows must have broad appeal, where they must convincingly bring in new viewers, not just satisfy existing fans.

There is an age-old saying... A product made for everyone is made for no one. These execs don't understand that their success came during a time of a massive global crisis, and pretty much any decent show gets massive ratings due to the forcibly captive audience. COVID really gassed up a lot of execs into thinking they are geniuses when the reality is that these numbers were never going to be repeated again.

What this will likely do is cause Amazon to burn massive amounts of funds for "modern audience-wide appeal" flops that interest no one and offend no one.

And yet, even under this new regime, it is still greenlighting more of Rings of Power despite its underperformance. The chase for "inoffensive broad appeal" is going to bite them in the butt.

The sad part is... a lore-accurate Stargate show was in the works, but because it didn't have enough modern audience broad appeal, they axed it under the new leadership.

Joe Mallozzi, a long-time SG1 showrunner said, "It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family.”

By all accounts, it sounded like it would have been a good show, but we'll never see it... not at least from the "new" Amazon.
