The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I felt the same way. The acting was p. bad. There wasn't a real plot to the movie either. The one thing they could have crushed was world building, but they didn't really do that. They didn't sell NYC as a setting the same way they sold other places. They sort of started to with speak-easies and dreary rain, but I dunno.
JKR definitely wanted to make America a less hospitable place, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But it shines through that she just isn't as interested in it as a setting, because there's not nearly as much passion in creating it as a wizarding world.
Of course Tycho would love this sort of film that accomplishes little in the narrative other than establishing a tone and setting. We have all read his Automata and Lookout comics.

Sick burn, but a fair point too. I've enjoyed the little interludes we've gotten by and large, and don't really get why some people have such a hard time sorting out what's going on in them, but I also think Jerry has it in him to do a full, proper narrative well, and I feel like it's kind of overdue for some of their side-projects. Like, Cardboard Tube Samurai was perfect that way, but Automata, or the Eyrewood, or Nightlight, or Sand, etc, seem like they deserve their own miniseries or something. I think the main thing holding them back is they don't want to takeover the main site for that kind of thing because not everyone likes any given one, which is why we keep getting snippets.
