<s>HBO</s> Max has given a 10-year order for a new Harry Potter TV series. Really "putting the cart before the horse" with a 10-year order.

I just don't know how well it is going to do.... what with JK Rowling being very much "canceled".... but at the same time the Harry Potter movies & cast being so "beloved" that people won't be willing to accept new actors playing the roles.

Between people not wanting to accept new actors/reboot, and people not wanting to support anything new Rowling is involved in, could just be a big "disaster".....

Rowling is only canceled if you think twitter is real life. Most of earth agrees with the "terf" take. Case in point the Hogwarts game that just released is the highest selling game of the year despite twitter and gaming journos doing their absolute best to stop it.

That said there's no market for a potter reboot. Its not nostalgia yet its a generations childhood. You need another 10 years atleast.

Oh, thought I read the Hogwarts game sold terribly and didn't meet projections at all...... maybe that was "fake news"....

12 million units sold in the 1st two weeks alone

Its over 1 billion in revenue

Whatever. This is still true:


That being said, of course I will try to watch it when it comes out. :shifty:

Potter does nothing for me so its safe to say i will side with twitter and "boycott" this reboot

Cool, didn't know this was coming. June apparently.

Also apparently, I never watched the last (third) one in season 5.

Oh nice. Looks like a great roster of guest stars too.

Nice

Feel like Mac looks "drastically different" in every season since the season he got fat.

How does Laura Dern get work? She's a hallmark level actress with a face that wouldn't work in radio.

Has she ever made a piece better?

I feel like I didn't see her for literally two decades and then all of a sudden she was everywhere.

Hands down my least favorite star wars character too. Admiral gender studies.

She was in star wars?

Ohhhh she was the arbitrarily cunty person with Poe. Yeah f tier character

I she could act it would be whatever but middling would be overselling her

This new A24 trailer looks interesting.

Ryan Seacrest named the new host of Wheel of Fortune.

I'd have let Vanna White take over or Pat's daughter.

DAMN iNATOR gonna be pissed!!

Happy 182 Day.

"Slayers: A Buffyverse Story" coming to Audible Oct 12

Featuring the voice talents of James Marsters, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head, Juliet Landau, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Charles Leary, and Danny Strong.

"Set 10 years after the events of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 7 finale, will follow Spike as he goes deep undercover in Los Angeles and tries to blend in with the local evildoers. However, Indira, a new Slayer, blows his cover, and Spike is forced to go back to baby-slayer-sitting duty -- he searches high and low for a watcher for the newbie Slayer, but instead he comes across another Slayer from an alternate reality where Buffy Summers doesn't exist. That's none other than Cordelia Chase, and she needs Spike to help her deal with a vampire on the loose, who just happens to be his ex-girlfriend Drusilla."

Im on this day 1 but i need to know who's writing

Oh shit...Amber Benson is writing and directing...she is awful at both

Chance ranks high on the worst films ive ever endured.

Well...fuck

Ill still listen but.. mother fucker

Damn... didn't know she was awful. Thanks for dampening my spirits.

How do you think i feel...

Cruised her IMDB... haven't seen or even heard of anything she has written or directed... So I will hold out hope... she also isn't writing/directing this thing alone

Hopefully the readings will atleast be good

"Bummed out" @ old grey Frasier still not finding "love" in his life....

Predicting that this show does "badly".... but will get a second season anyways. Canceled after two, though.

Listened to the first 3 "episodes" of this while on the road today.... it is not great. Good to hear some of the voices... sometimes.

But cringing at stuff like alternate reality Tara randomly having a monkey named "Mr. Pickles" just so she can have someone to talk to and verbalize her thoughts/plot points....

All i can think is this

Finished listening to that Slayers: A Buffyverse Story thing... it got... slightly better, but still not good. There were one or two good ideas, but everything was just handled badly... cringed so hard at every appearance of "Mr. Pickles"

Adrien Brody is so shit
