A long and meandering article about how Disney's revival of Star Wars may just be a massive cash grab and not as great as we'd all like. Talk about depressing. @Grantland

Nintendo? Thinking about making movies based on their IPs again? We've forgiven them for Super Mario Bros. by now right? @SlashFilm

So how is Robert Rodriguez planning to celebrate the 25th anniversary of El Mariachi? By making a movie with the same $7,000 budget of course. @Austin360

Michael Mann and Christian Bale for an Enzo Ferrari movie? Sounds good to me. @Deadline

Is anyone actually surprised that there's going to be a sequel to Straight Outta Compton? Honestly, I actually am a little bit. I mean it's not every day you get a biopic sequel. Money talks. @Consequence of Sound
