This thread has me nostalgic for our college theater at USL, The Bayou Bijou. One regret that I have is that I didn't get involved with the group that managed the theater and picked out the films played there. It was the one place in town where you could see the rare indie films in the 70's, as well as classics like The Marx Brothers, and films that had run in the theaters but had not hit HBO yet.
They also had a TV room in the student union, that would have odd films running on a loop. So you'd be walking by and see Bakshi's Lord of the Rings playing, or The Groove Tube or some other odd film.

Vanilla Ice permanently damaged the world's trust in themselves when he abused the opening to Under Pressure.
And the same with Kid Rock and Sweet Home Alabama.
Other than that, every other franchise is fair game.

So the guy who respectfully continued and revitalized the Rocky franchise wants to do the same with The X-Files, and people are pissed because why?
I'd love to know at what point do these franchises become pristine keepsakes that are to remain untouched? Because the originators of those two franchises milked them for every penny they could.
I was fricking obsessed with the X-Files, but I'm able to dismiss the Mulderless and Scullyless seasons, the boring movies, and the other misses. If this new venture sucks I'm sure I'll still have the same love for the original.

I don’t think we’ll ever see a movie event like The Dark Knight again. The parking lot at that oneal theatre is massive it stretches back along the interstate a couple 100 yards. Not exaggerating when I say that’s the only time I’ve seen it completely full and every theatre in the house was dedicated to The Dark Knight.

That's where the off the wall stuff would show up. Good times.
Back in the day, the large theater markets would let the audiences and word of mouth have their vote, then us lesser areas would get the cream of the bottom of the barrel crop.

quote:Usually the gist of the story is authentic. I've come across some that have conflicting notes, telling me that the AI is pulling from multiple articles. Case in point, a dramatic retelling of Steve Ditko having the Marvel offices shocked and speechless (an exaggeration) where the same story refers to him as both the creator and the co-creator of Spider-Man. Evidently it was mining an article that gave Stan Lee credit, and another that did not.
I doubt the stories and it’s bc of what you mentioned. The AI writing style is formulaic it lacks authenticity. It’s trying so hard to be authentic (and dramatic) that it comes off as fake.

If your job requires that schedules have to be adjusted so that someone can cover for you, tell your boss as soon as you realize you can't go in.
If you not being there doesn't require schedule changes, text him the morning of so you're not giving him additional grief on his time off.

Shia LaBeouf Apologizes After Plagiarizing Artist Daniel Clowes For His New Short Film
quote:
Shia LaBeouf posted his new short film HowardCantour.com online on Monday, having first debuted the work at the May 2012 Cannes Film Festival. The piece stars Jim Gaffigan as an online film critic named Howard Cantour, and it is almost a direct adaptation of Justin M. Damiano, a 2007 comic written and drawn by famed artist Daniel Clowes.
quote:
"The first I ever heard of the film was this morning when someone sent me a link. I've never spoken to or met Mr. LaBeouf," Clowes told BuzzFeed. "I've never even seen one of his films that I can recall — and I was shocked, to say the least, when I saw that he took the script and even many of the visuals from a very personal story I did six or seven years ago and passed it off as his own work. I actually can't imagine what was going through his mind."

Yeah the writing style is just…blah. Is the substance of the story true?

I've seen a couple of blurbs from celebrities who have seen the movie. Besides the predictable hyperbole, they seemed shocked by how emotionally moving the film was. Which leads me to believe that they got the book really right in this movie, or the celebs weren't familiar with the story and were expecting a basic sci-fi yarn.
