  1. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    I adore the John Carter series, and would love to see this film. If anything, the major issue with the actual movie is that it stuck too close to the book, including Carter being a Confederate soldier which is then hardly interrogated at all. And nice to see acknowledgement of the issue that the...

  2. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Maybe reading too much into it, but I'm taking this as a deep cut reference to how the Coen Brothers cast Clooney in Oh Brother Where Art Thou due to thinking he'd have at least some of his aunt Rosemary's singing ability, but were quite disappointed with the results and ended up dubbing him.

  3. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    I'm kind of getting vibes of Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy film. I distinctly remember everyone talking about that film for months, either how it would be a horrible overbudget flop or a smash success...and then a week after it came out, everyone just forgot it ever existed.

  4. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Okay, now I really want to see Crusade. I also spent most of it thinking the writer probably was imagining a very different actor than Schwarzenegger, but then the Conan inspiration gets mentioned, so I guess not.

    And of course, the big meta gag with Schrieber is that he played Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and is typically considered one of the few saving graces of a horrible film along with Ryan Reynolds showing how great he would be as Deadpool.

  6. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    I can't help but wonder if Jim Caviezel is going to become a problem for this series down the line, what with the leader of the heroic mutants being played by a horrible racist, sexist, homophobic, animal-abusing asshole.

  7. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    I like to imagine Bernard Cribbins also has a cameo in Gorgo, as Thomas from Doctor Who and the Daleks.

  8. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Thank you for resisting what I'm sure was a significant temptation to make Barsi's life a bed of roses after keeping her alive. This feels much more true to life, as unfortunate as that statement is, and far more meaningful. And speaking as someone with mental health issues, my profound...

  9. The Way Life’s Meant To Be: Redux

    I'm very much intrigued, as this so far seems like a bunch of totally unrelated PODs and I look forward to seeing how it comes together.

  10. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Neat idea to basically split Duckman into two shows rather than just the usual allohistorical counterpart. We'll also have to see if this creates enough butterflies to avoid Brittany Murphy's death (ruled as pneumonia, but her drug abuse definitely contributed, so maybe Jim could get her some...

  11. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    In fact, del Toro went so far as saying what Weinstein did to the film was akin to having your baby kidnapped by a cult, and then they periodically send you pictures of your kid as a prostitute. And this was before the Me Too stuff came out.

  12. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    I've always said that the prequels had a fantastic basic story, and it's entirely the execution that messed it all up. And we definitely could use more stories where the Grand Prophecy of a Chosen One Who Will Save Us All and Make Things Good Forever and Ever turns out to just be total BS. Just...

  13. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    After seeing the new Halo series (which I really liked, come at me), I'd now love to see Star Wars also do some deep digging into how messed up it is that the supposed heroes of this franchise regularly kidnap children and forbid them from ever seeing their families again (and no way was that...

  14. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Finally caught up with this whole story. Utterly fantastic stuff. Given this timeline's more advanced social views, I do wonder how Anne MacCaffrey's...let's just say "unique" ideas about homosexuality will come across here.

    Spielberg actually did almost get to direct Phantom Menace, as Lucas was very hesitant to direct any more films himself after the first Star Wars almost killed him.

    Thanks; like I said before, I'm totally new at this.

    Unfortunately, there isn't time for both.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 2

    American Graffiti was released in August 1973, and the response left Lucas fully vindicated. Critics across the country (except, annoyingly enough, the one his own family in Modesto would be reading) fell over themselves proclaiming him a bright new voice in the artform, and the film a success...

  20. Two Helicopters in Northern California

    Hi everyone, this is my first attempted story here. Please be as brutal as necessary; I'm a published author and I can take it. I've long found Apocalypse Now to be one of the most fascinating "What if?" stories in movie history, as not only would it have turned out radically different under...
