They can't find anyone better than that POS?
I was definitely surprised to see the name. If Paramount is hoping for that Bright energy, we should all be praying that they scrap this whole project.

It doesn't have the reputation of the Hyperion Cantos (which, fair), but Simmons' Ilium/Olympos duology is a great read.
Agreed on Summer of Night. Unlike King, Simmons knew how write endings.
I believe these two projects are also competing. At least that's what the Variety article made it sound like.

Yeah, my estranged dad made me snuff out democracy in Iran. Can I blame them for all those other times I did it, too?

It does not mean that.
What they found is evidence of writing, not evidence of a fully formed writing system. More importantly, there is no evidence of connection to any known language.
This has nothing to do with Indo-Europeans

While no one would call it a comedy, it definitely features an abundance of humor. Did you not think you were supposed to laugh at all the farting?

re: 'Sinners' gets a record 16 Oscar nominations

Nosferatu's tech nominations showed the academy members are paying attention to Eggers.
And, yeah, if it was a totally different movie made by different filmmakers with different actors, it probably wouldn't have the same number of Oscar nominations.

I'd go Alien/Aliens
Alien is the best movie of the 6.
Alien/Aliens is the only pair that has 2 absolute classics.
I know the star wars people will disagree with that, but those people have always been apologists for questionable quality.
