>That said, the movie isn't going to perform well because the company which owns the IP just did something which alienated their entire fan-base months prior to the release.
Didn't they roll back "the plan" and are releasing under creative commons?

People have already mentioned that this isn’t allowed in the Acting categories (kind of bizarrely imo? I think it should be) but every other category allows it. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were nominated for the scores of both Mank and Soul a couple years ago, it happens fairly often in Costumes and Makeup/Hairstyling, and sometimes producers will have two Best Picture nominees.

The Land of the Lost ( tv 1973 ) would have made a great serious Sci-Fi film, and not a comedy like the 2009 film starring Will Ferrell.

I have a suspicion that the scene was filmed, but that it just didn't play well. I found Ken Takemoto pretty weak in his role, tbh. I was also expecting that scene and disappointed with the final cut, but I felt like based on his other scenes and reaction at the door I also would have been disappointed with the full conversation.
The series was definitely at its best when they slowed down for the in-depth character conversations, though. Sam and Bucky training at home was one of the very best bits.

Reply to Has anyone ever seen a dream sequence that actually depicted a dream accurately? by Jordie1010
Groundhog Day
I frequently have a dream that I shut my alarm off, get up, go about my day, only to wake up but still be actually dreaming, and then have it happen again. When I finally wake up for real, it’s always before my alarm. The only thing missing is Sonny and Cher.

No, disco wasn't considered. George Lucas cut the film to existing classical music before hiring John Williams at the suggestion of Steven Spielberg.

Sometimes their isn't anyone to blame and the relationship just doesn't work out.

I have an issue with the entire romance subplot...the actual meeting where Chuck sees Kelly near the end. It really killed the pacing IMHO and seemed out-of-place with the rest of the movie.
Love the actual ending...with him standing at the crossroads looking back at the late Lari White, pondering his next move (and if you're like me when you saw it you were thinking, "Go back and talk to her!")

I kind of like the way he sets up his monologues, but most of them end up contributing nothing to the story and are just there as either his self insert or to make sure the audience understands what he had just shown them.

I don't know if the episode was a hit or not. It aired almost 2 full years before the series aired. I think it was the success of American Graffiti that had them say "we own this show that's similar in tone and stars the same guy."

I mean, sure there’s some talent there, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not jump pumping out unimaginative riffs of other peoples work. His last 5 out of 6 shows/films have been adaptations, not great ones at that, and his next 3 projects are adaptations. Most of those adaptations just turn into a Stephen King flick. His one original work amongst those is a relatively weak look at religious fanaticism that provides little new to the conversation. Most of his monologues either don’t contribute anything further to the story or are just a regurgitation of what’s already happened. And let’s not forget that in every one of his series, except for the fake out in Midnight Club, a major character dies in episode five.

Yea but I mean the HBO version, outside of the basic premise they’re very different.

I read once that over one billion people play or have played D&D worldwide. If this is true, I think it could rival Avatar: The way of Water.

If the library in your city of county gives free Kanopy memberships a bunch of Oscar nominated shorts are available there. A bunch are under 20 minutes so you might need to show two.

I think it can be a moderate success, like Shazam. The trailer looked fun and the D&D fanbase is larger than ever. If they get the comedy right, it can do well.
