quote:The joke in the original was that the youngest sibling was played by twin girls an then by twin boys and had the unisex name of Jamie. Now the youngest is non-binary, not trans.
However they couldn't help themselves and introduced a trans kid in this one, which is completely disgusting and totally goes against the spirit of the original

Man, John Carter was done so dirty. That movie could have made gobs of money if marketed well.

Not watching that either, but I remember that when Life of Pi came out it was revealed that the bidding wars between CGI companies reduced their industry to making effects almost at cost. The company that created the effects for Life of Pi won a ton of awards as they had to close their doors and go out of business.

John Carter is better than all of those other films combined. While the marketing was the biggest culprit in its downfall, the feeding frenzy of the press and moviegoers who couldn't wait to celebrate it as being a "bomb" (before any of them had seen it) is still keeping it from getting an audience (as seen in this thread).

How do the bank examiner, sheriff or whatever he was, and newspaper people get in their house? Mary's gone and is surprised by their presence when she get back. Their children are upstairs. How'd they get in?

I’m going to assume that everyone knows who Sheldon “Nick” Leonard was and why they named the Big Bang Theory characters after him.
He also had a career as a tough guy gangster actor.

Breakdown: 1975 • Netflix Documentary (Focus on films of 1975)
Posted by Fewer Kilometers on 12/24/25 at 9:39 am
Very well executed, especially when the films are intercut to show similar themes and intensity. Not a lot new here, but the murderer's row of films coming out is amazing. (Cazale's Godfather II, The Conversation, and Dog Day Afternoon were all in the theaters that year.)
Patton Oswalt and Seth Rogen aren't in it that much, but it still irks me to see guys that weren't around explaining 1975 to me. So many older artists still around to interview that were a part of that film movement. Patton Oswalt doesn't have to be in every documentary. Give him a rest.
For those that hate that the Oscars are now too political, the clips from the 1975 Academy Awards are insane. The old guard versus the young film makers going after each other on stage.

I could see a lot of potentially awkward "multiverse" reunions where characters meet up with versions from other universes.
Nothing beats the DC/Marvel crossover where Wonder Woman confronts Marvel's Hercules. DC went with the mythology of Hercules raping Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyta. Diana didn't care which Hercules she beat the shite out of.

I’ve somewhat kept abreast of this “marvel” of AI. I think it’s a lot of horseshite. It’s a giant plagiarism machine, in its current form. I think ChatGPT knows what it’s writing like a toaster knows that it’s making toast. There’s no intelligence — it’s a marvel of marketing. It may well become sentient and truly intelligent. Down the line there may be a moment of singularity where it actually becomes a threat, but right now it’s just a plagiarism machine. - Gilligan in Variety
TCM Celebrates the Life and Legacy of Filmmaker Rob Reiner
Posted by Fewer Kilometers on 12/23/25 at 9:15 am
quote:
Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will honor the life and career of filmmaker Rob Reiner with a programming tribute headlined by a special premiere presentation of The Princess Bride (1987) on January 28, 2026. The Princess Bride endures as one of Reiner’s most beloved achievements—celebrated for its wit, emotional sincerity, and timeless storytelling that continues to resonate with audiences across generations. A longtime friend of TCM and a passionate advocate of film preservation, Reiner was one of the most accomplished and versatile filmmakers of his generation.
“With This is Spinal Tap Rob began an extraordinary 11-year run that rivals the finest directors in Hollywood history: He made The Sure Thing, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, A Few Good Men, and The American President. The profound sense of loss we’re all feeling is heightened by Rob’s lofty standing in Hollywood, he was universally loved inside the entertainment industry. I did not know him as well as I would have liked, but he always made me feel like we had been pals for decades. Rob’s character was defined by the qualities we see in those films: kindness, decency, humor, compassion, and most of all, a belief in humanity.” – TCM Host Ben Mankiewicz.
Reiner began his career as an actor and became a cultural touchstone with his Emmy Award–winning portrayal of Michael “Meathead” Stivic on the groundbreaking television series All in the Family.
He went on to direct an extraordinary body of work that ranged across comedy, romance, drama, and social commentary. His films include This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Stand by Me (1986), When Harry Met Sally… (1989), Misery (1990), A Few Good Men (1992), and most recently Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, each leaving an indelible mark on American cinema.
