A gentle reminder that James Gunn also produced Brightburn, an incredibly horrific what-if -- and it's Superman in all but name...

Oh sorry I thought you meant Avatar.
Heretic was fantastic. He was really something else: he was totally absorbed in that role. Genuinely creepy and pleasingly unique.

I wishI could -- just couldn't connect with it, despite it ticking every creative box. Maybe I should revisit based on your appreciation.

Heretic, but it's Hugh Grant trying to convince you to care about Avatar.

I think we're a little spoiled. I was just reminiscing with a friend about The Last Starfighter and how much it blew my mind the other day. Please pass my compliments to the chef -- it's so, so well observed. I've lost count of how many times I've seen the originals, so... * chef's kiss *

True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
