I don’t know, but it’s a scientific fact that you’re more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. This film will have lightning and sharks, so that’s got to count for something.
This line sold me.
This is how you recognize a character is polished or not : when small details are taken care of to provide the best experience possible.

At least Doom does look like Doom.
That’s when I thought, “good grief”
Just ain’t my belief

Y'know a female Doom could probably work, but you'd have to be careful to avoid any weird sexual politics in the rivalry. And it goes without saying there should absolutely not be any kind of romantic relationship or one side having a crush on the other.

But Fox is probably the last people I'd expect to delicately handle that. So yeah, ugh.

They could use her new gender to explain her motivation to be the ruler of Latveria and a global powerhouse.  Not like the story hasn't been done before, but a Mrs. Dr. Doom striving to fight against gender inequalities and then going to far to become a villain might make for a good story since we've all seen the normal megalomaniac, control-freak version time and time again.

If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

Why would you want to make a movie with Anita Sarkeesian as the villain?

The "strawman feminist as supervillain" trope actually is one of those she shoots down, IINM. But it's terrible regardless of her or others.

I can see her taking the role for enough money and later excuse herself being involved in such trope by saying "I was trying to give an example about how awful this trope is". She's that shameless.

Psych has been canceled. The finale episode is promised to tie up most of the loose ends. Not really unexpected (Maggie Lawson is already a regular on another show), and it was getting long in the tooth anyway. It's a good time to end it.

It's official: AMC is doing a Preacher adaptation, from executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldburg. Garth Ennis and Steven Dillon are also involved in some capacity and Ennis himself has praised Rogen and Goldburg so it sounds like it's in good hands. I'm pretty curious how they're gonna adapt it for basic cable (not enough to watch it, I'm not really a fan of Preacher, but still) because... well, let's just start with the fact that a major character is named Arseface and leave it at that.

also being adapted: Neil Gaiman's first prose-only novel, American Gods, which is really freaking great and I dunno some people are kind of down on it but screw 'em, it's great. >:[
Anyways it hasn't found a network yet, but here's hoping. And then they can do an Anansi Boys spinoff movie/series!!!

Finally, The Michael J. Fox Show is on its last legs, it seems very likely that it will be canceled. Which means that once again NBC's new comedies have all failed, and they'll have to grudgingly renew Parks and Rec and Community again because they can still outperform every new show NBC brings out each year. Six seasons and a movie is gonna happen bitches!

While I wouldn't say it was the worst movie ever or anything close to that, it certainly is a terrible movie (though Phil Hartman is great in it, and that one part where Arnie yells PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN, NOW! is pretty amazing)

But this sounds worse, and will very likely be a thousand times worse!

Unfortunately. He was just in that Madea Christmas movie wherein he participated in ghost-themed sex play.

Yes you heard that right.
