    The three most distinct TV edits in my mind are:

    -- "Yippe-ky-yay Mister Falcon" (Die Hard)
    -- "Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?!?!" (The Big Lebowski)
    -- "Right on my sandwich after you kiss it!" (Dumb & Dumber)

    I always liked the second line in that Lebowski quote “This is what happens when you feed a soldier scrambled eggs!!!”

    See, I've never heard that one.

    It's always just, "Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?!?! DO you see?!?! Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!?! DO YOU SEE!?! DO YOU SEE!?!?!?!"

    I think you’re misremembering because that line is from the edit that most people quote. Probably laughing too hard at the “find a stranger in the alps” to notice it changed.

    A new James Bond comic launched today, from Greg Pak and Marc Laming, intended as a revamp of Bond.

    They've done a bunch of them so it isn't exactly a bold new idea but this time around James has a co-star in Oddjob who has been reimagined as younger, rival secret agent who is competing with James on his missions.

    "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEED A SOLDIER SCRAMBLED EGGS"

    Also a lot of tv edits do use "melon farmer" to dub over motherfucker. It's just that the Die Hard 2 edit isn't one of them.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I don't know if any of you nerds are into this, but the free awards season screenplays are starting to be released. No Film School has a collection started.
    Here are the links to the screenplays, thanks to Annapurna, Netflix and Bleecker Street:

    Sorry to Bother You, written by Boots Riley
    The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, written by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen
    22 July, screenplay by Paul Greengrass, based on the book "One of Us" by Åsne Seierstad
    Private Life, written by Tamara Jenkins
    Colette, screenplay by Richard Glatzer & Wash Westmoreland & Rebecca Lenkiewicz, story by Richard Glatzer
    Leave No Trace, screenplay by Debra Granik & Anne Rosellini, based on the novel "My Abandonment" by Peter Rock
    Disobedience, screenplay by Sebastián Lelio & Rebecca Lenkiewicz, based on the novel by Naomi Alderman
    What They Had, written by Elizabeth Chomko
    As always, please use these scripts for educational purposes only. Also, don't wait to download them because we never know when the studios will take the screenplays off the internet.

    Definitely going to read Sorry to Bother You, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and Private Life.

    I keep getting caught up in the idea that Peter Pan is a real ahole and I want to write a deconstruction but I can’t decide whether it should be from the perspective of Captain Hook as a journal describing a descent into obsessive madness or a banal horror story from the perspective of Michael or from the perspective of Tinkerbell as a detached, amoral nature spirit.

    I know this has kinda been poked at by a few other authors, but so far most of the really popular Peter Pan shit has him being the unambiguous hero and I just feel like it avoids a lot of the pretty explicit horror that is touched upon by the text.

    Maybe it should be an anthology of short stories including everything?

    Pan is owned forever by a childrens hospital so the reason this hasnt been covered is because they won't allow it .

    Thomas Hayden Church is going to play Lobster Johnson In the new Hellboy movie.

    Also that comic Bond should turn around. Just to make shure he's not Dick Grayson.

    In 1985, The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo aired. It was one season (13 episodes) long and involved Scooby, Shaggy and Daphne hunting down the 13 spookiest ghosts ever after the Chest of Demons was opened, unleashing them all

    In the biggest news of the year easily, the open ending to the series will finally be closed, as in 2019, the whole gang will reunite with Vincent Van Ghoul at their side to finish what they started and finally capture the 13th and final ghost. Here is the movie trailer for Scooby-Doo and the Curse of the 13th Ghost
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTKbXWGjSe0
    After the Mystery Inc. gang goofed up a case and nabbed an innocent man, they’re forced into early retirement from crime solving. It’s not long however, before their old friend Vincent Van Ghoul needs help and pulls the team right back into action. The gang has unfinished business they must tend to, which involves catching a ghost that previously got away. It all happened one summer while Velma and Freddy where away at camp. Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and Daphne secretly hunted down 12 of the world’s spookiest ghosts but failed to catch the most evil one of them all…the 13th ghost.

    Now the elusive spook is wreaking havoc. Vincent needs help having him captured and confined to the chest of demons, a box that contains the other 12 captured ghosts. With the 13th ghost still on the loose, the gang will have to come out of retirement and finish the job once and for all. The chest however, is now located somewhere in a remote village in the Himalayas. Determined to help Vincent, the gang sets out on one of their most thrilling adventures yet! Bundle up and get ready for the icy slopes of the Himalayan mountains, chilling car chases, crystal balls and spine-tingling spells in this terrifyingly fun original movie!

    Well we know what happened in 13 Ghosts

    it's a season where the show's bullshit is certainly firing on all cylinders, though

    i can't say that it's good but it's very once upon a time

    I think I have learned this and forgotten it like 2 or 3 times.

    People still write the stories and they do still get published, but the legal wrangling probably puts a lot of people off.

    Also I definitely thought this was the book thread some how so instead let’s fight about whether Hook is fantastic (it is) or terrible (it isn’t).

    It's obviously fantastic, even if its director disagrees.

    Their claim on the books is in dispute, isn't it? In any case Alan Moore was able to publish a version of the story where Captain Hook is a pedophile with a disfigured claw hand who has sex with Peter

    That's Frank Miller, not Alan Moore

    Frank Miller is women as whores and increasingly far right politics

    Alan Moore is obscure and convoluted literary references and increasingly weird sex

    Moore isn't so bad, really.

    He quit his job working on a local newspaper comic before he made it in comics because they ran a homophobic article, even though it basically left him without any income. And he tore into Miller for his bullshit when Miller wrote that screed about Occupy.

    He's definitely a grumpy, mad old bastard who is out of touch with the modern world, and has admitted as much, but he's a lefty who hates homophobes, transphobes, racists and capitalism so as far as grumpy mad old bastards go, he's better than most.

    I always loved that when I read Wizard in the 90's that their stock photo of Moore made him look like he just tore his way out of Metallica's Unforgiven video.

    Moore's fine, I just don't like the majority of his books.
