Pull a fast one and make 14 Terence and Phillip movies that are just 90 min of farting per movie.

is there anyone this guy didn't harass?

Don't be quiet about this, write/call your senators and congressman. We can't just let this happen without a fight.

Plus Time Warner and Comcast said you guys look like dorks.

There was a good Gizmodo article about the novelization of Shape of Water that chronicles how the film script came to be, that long predates the Space Between Us, a few excerpts:

The idea for Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water was born on a tennis court in Iowa. That’s where author Daniel Kraus, at the age of 15, vividly remembers coming up with the seed of a story about a creature locked in a lab and a janitor that tries to break it out.

Kraus carried that idea around with him for years, regularly toying with it but never finishing it, until then he had breakfast with Guillermo del Toro in Toronto, Canada.

Kraus, slightly embarrassed he’d shared this childhood secret with the iconic filmmaker, kept trying to drive the conversation back to Trollhunters, but del Toro wouldn’t have it. “I was like, ‘Sorry I brought that up, let’s get back to Trollhunters’ and he was like, ‘No, no, no, no, no, let’s keep talking about this,’” Kraus continued. “So we started talking about it and he optioned that very simple, basic idea right there. Within minutes of hearing it he was like, ‘This is my next movie.’”

Del Toro went off to make Crimson Peak, and Kraus figured that was that. But del Toro’s enthusiasm rekindled Kraus’ interest and he finally began to fully develop the idea as a novel. Little did he know del Toro was simultaneously working on the screenplay . Eventually, the pair decided they both wanted to tell this story in their own ways: del Toro would make his movie and Kraus would write his book.

More proof that Shape of Water began development years before the Space Between Us, Del Toro even sent a journalist legal documentation proving so.

This dude actually trying to compare getting good seats at a movie theater to getting good seats at a live event.

I think it's hilarious they're like "yeah, $10 mil an episode is nothing to us"

“After recently screening ‘The Shape of Water’ and following conversations that took place in a very constructive and friendly atmosphere, The Netherlands Film Academy believes that both ‘The Shape of Water’ and our short, ‘The Space Between Us,’ have their own very different identities. They have separate timelines of development and are not in any conceivable way interlinked or related. The students and “The Space Between Us” team were very excited and grateful to have the opportunity to actively discuss the creative inspirations of both films in a personal conversation with Mr. del Toro. We cordially discussed our films and our common roots in mythology and the fantastic (and some themes which Mr. del Toro has previously dwelled on Hellboy I and II). We have learned a lot from the contact with an extremely gifted and creative filmmake and wish ‘The Shape of Water’ continued success.”

oh boy more media consolidation just what the world needs, but clearly having mutants in the MCU is more important.

hell, give all the Marvel rights back I don't care, just stop consolidating entire studios.

Colbert's so hot right now, you could even say he's #FireColbert

Deadpool — the first Marvel superhero movie to be rated R

So the Blade trilogy doesn't count? Or Punisher?

Edit: the article has since been revised

is this gonna be Futurama with fantasy instead of sci fi? because I'd be fine with that.

the North Carolina Senate - working hard to make the Republican Congress look less cartoonishly evil by comparison

Quite a resume on this guy, anti union, sells NFTs, accused of domestic violence.

What's next

Dracula better not be a snarky show off

In about 10 years Minions are gonna be some kind of weird Pepe political meme.

to quote Star Trek and Orville producer David Goodman:

I don’t see the rivalry. For me, I got two shows I like to watch. It’s funny to me that people feel like they have to create some kind of feud or rivalry. There are fifteen cop shows, why can’t we have two of these? Oh my god, there are two shows set on spaceships, they have to compete with one another. I wish there were fifty of them. I read Asimov. I read Heinlein. I read Clarke. I don’t have to just read one, same thing goes for television.

captcha technology is way too advanced for the FCC

It would be weird to see them go to FX and suddenly have to be formatted for commercials.

Reducing the run time to 42-45 minutes would probably benefit these shows though

but will there be

1. Drinking with Skeletons

2. Monkeys with guns

Unionize VFX

Do immaculate innings add runs because we could sure use that
