My dad will send me these pictures of some artwork he's doing.
He'll be like "I am using all these reference photos from when I travelled to the relevant country, and I've done all this research, and I've been working on the picture for 2 months, and I hope to be finished next month."
So I'm sending back my drawings like "This is a bat who I imagine could be my personal assistant and I drew it in 20 minutes."
"To Tame A Land" [by Iron Maiden] is based on the science fiction novel Dune, which was later made into a movie.
Author Frank Herbert refused to allow the band to call this song "Dune." The band originally sent a letter to Herbert's agent for permission.
The response read as follows: "No. Because Frank Herbert doesn't like rock bands, particularly heavy rock bands, and especially rock bands like Iron Maiden."
If you want to search for posts you’ve made previously, the criteria “from:me” can be used.
E.g. If you wanted to search for all your posts related to the influential Belgian musical artist Technotronic, you would search “from:me technotronic”.
So yeah, in summary, I think the early MCU films are great cause they are full of character.
That they would go on to choke the life out of all mainstream cinema is unfortunate.
I had a moment of "Hey Tom, are you being unfair?" and no I don't think so. If a studio comes to dominate the cultural output of a medium, then they are open to all the criticism that comes with that.
Currently listening to something where they've noted that there's no coherent timeline in the Mad Max movies, that each one essentially stands on its own as just another story where Max is the central character.
Which has got me wondering; are there other movie series where this is the case?
I guess there are Batman movies that don't share canon with others, but generally they exist in series with other instalments.
