I wouldn't call them "everyman" types. They don't megamuscles, but they're presented as tough guys radiating an aura of deadly professionalism, unflappable under pressure.

You'd never see Clint Eastwood going, "Please God, don't let me die!" while clinging to the side of a building.

Reply to What movies should I watch on New Year's? by BigJ1230

2022 is the 30th anniversary of Bram Stoker's Dracula, thr 40th anniversary of Blade Runner and Conan the Barbarian, and the 100th of Nosferatu.

Or you can watch one of those Love Actually ripoffs called New Year's Eve.

Reply to comment by boundbylife in Bob Iger Tells Disney Town Hall Hiring Freeze Still In Effect, No New Acquisitions Planned & Not Merging With Apple by HumanOrAlien

Iger once said that he believed if Steve Jobs were still alive, Disney and Apple would have found a way to combine.

And Apple does have the money for it, along with a demonstrable interest in expanding into entertainment.

It may not happen, but the idea of it is far from nonsense.

> Its in every way a sequel to the original,

Actually, because of rights issues, it's technically not. That's also why they didn't even mention anything from She-Ra at all.

Had the marketing been more honest about what they were making it probably would have been received better. And Kevin Smith would have spared himself at least half a dozen social media crying sessions.
