Before jail, there could be accusations. There are none, unlike Harvey Weinstein, who is not in jail either. Of course Disney can fire him, they can fire him if the CEO doesn't like the color of his tie. That doesn't mean people (and the cast of GOTG) can't think it is a stupid reason. If Disney is consistent, Carrie Fisher's scenes should not be in Episode IX

These are JOKES. There is absolutely zero evidence of anything inappropriate. If there was, it would be a totally different story. Again, using the same absurd logic, anyone who has told the aristocrats joke in the past should never be allowed to work again. Here's the list of people that should be lumped in with Gunn from the 2005 Aristocrats documentary: Chris Albrecht, Jason Alexander, Hank Azaria, Shelley Berman, Billy the Mime, Lewis Black, David Brenner, Jimmy Buffett, Mario Cantone, Drew Carey, George Carlin, Margaret Cho, Mark Cohen, Carrot Top, Billy Connolly, Tim Conway, Pat Cooper, Wayne Cotter, Andy , Frank DiGiacomo, Phyllis Diller, Susie Essman, Carrie Fisher, Joe Franklin, Todd Glass, Judy Gold, Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Gorodetsky, Gilbert Gottfried, Dana Gould, Allan Havey, Eric Idle, Dom Irrera, Eddie Izzard, Richard Jeni, Jake Johannsen, The Amazing Johnathan, Alan Kirschenbaum, Jay Kogen, Sue Kolinsky, Paul Krassner, Cathy Ladman, Lisa Lampanelli, Richard Lewis, Wendy Liebman, Bill Maher, Howie Mandel, Merrill Markoe, Jay Marshall, Jackie Martling, Chuck McCann, Michael McKean, Eric Mead, Larry Miller, Martin Mull, Kevin Nealon, Taylor Negron, The Onion editorial staff, Otto and George, Rick Overton, Gary Owens, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, The Passing Zone, Penn & Teller, Emo Philips, Peter Pitofsky, Kevin Pollak, Paul Reiser, Andy Richter, Don Rickles, Chris Rock, Gregg Rogell, Jeffrey Ross, Jon Ross, Rita Rudner, Bob Saget, T. Sean Shannon, Harry Shearer, Sarah Silverman, Bobby Slayton, The Smothers Brothers, Carrie Snow, Doug Stanhope, David Steinberg, Jon Stewart, Larry Storch, Rip Taylor, Dave Thomas, Johnny Thompson, Peter Tilden, Bruce Vilanch, Fred Willard, Robin Williams, Steven Wright Make sure you bring enough torches.

This just in: Disney is not going to include Carrie Fisher footage in Episode IX due to her 2005 telling of "The Aristocrats".

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. If there was some conspiracy-theory left-wing nutjob getting conservatives fired for decades-old joke tweets, that would just as disgusting. And as far as whether Disney made a sound business decision, that is debatable. If they ignored this and let Gunn direct GOG3, how much do they lose to people who boycott?, $25k $50K? $0? A new director could risk millions.

It wasn't like Cernovich accidentally stumbled upon the tweets and reported them. He went after Gunn personally by digging through and cherry-picking the "worst" tweets out of thousands. These are jokes. Bad ones, but just jokes from a decade ago. Disney knew about them before hand and is only reacting to an alt-right hit job from a dirt-bag. I find Cernovich 1000x more reprehensible than Gunn's jokes.

Disney really made a huge mistake on this one. This attack on Gunn was orchestrated by Mike Cernovich, of pizza-gate infamy. No one should react to this despicable character. The petition to re-hire him has over 230,000 signatures.

There's only one way I'm going to Episode IX - if Luke was a defective clone in VIII. If they want to throw in a whole bunch of evil Luke clones as the bad guys, that would't hurt.

Arvel omics roup or the Thing's toes being cut off? Personally, I find the cover better with the slight shift.

My apologies!

FF 48 is kind of a perfect storm. Warehouse find, Silver Surfer/Galactus, Lee/Kirby in their prime. There are so many copies, there were even a couple of years when the price went down on this book in Overstreet. No chance of that happening any time soon though.

13+ years later and only 1 more FF #1, 3 more FF #3s, and still no #187 variants. Issue #59 passed #48. Issues #175-#200 have lower counts than they probably should because people tend to send in 9.8s/9.6s rather than 9.4s. I didn't include the annuals way back then, but overall they seem to have really low counts.

I really enjoyed the current X-Files reboot. Mulder and Scully have given up and are living in a Milwaukee suburb. Skinner spends the entire season trying to convince them to return to the X-Files, with no luck. In the last scene, Mulder and Scully fall into a hole. I thought this was a much needed, brave new direction for the series.

There is no possible way that a good Star Wars movie with the return of Luke Skywalker doesn't get 90%+ of the Force Awakens. Hell, a movie with no dialogue with Luke dicing up bad guys for two hours would have made as much as TLJ. No exaggeration.

Disney would have ended up pocketing an additional $200-$500 million with a good movie that appeased the older fans. So, I do blame them from a business perspective (as well as a personal one).

You are generally correct. However, I think a good movie that honors the past, while making way for new characters would have wildly more successful for everyone.

Getting out of the way? What was there an overabundance of Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker in the past 34 years? That 15 seconds at the end Force Awakens was too much? Having Luke in a Star Wars movie was rare, precious, and fleeting. They squandered it.

I'm sure a few feel that way, but most people I've talked to that disliked VIII assumed that most, if not all, of the original characters were going to die in this "trilogy" (before it started). They just wanted good movies.

You nailed it. I imagined VIII wasn't going to be a pile of dung and my theory was dashed.

It was at least equal on both sides. From what I read, I'm sure there were more fake positive reviews than negative. This movie had no respect for Luke and it was just plain not fun. Worst direction they could have gone.

Yep, that is the biggest problem with the movie. Luke was not Luke.

They made a decent movie that at the same time spit on Luke Skywalker. If you have no problem with that, I don't know what to say. It makes me ill thinking about it.

Well, I was pretty blah about this series, until the break finale. It could end up being one of the greatest Trek series of all time if:

I owe George Lucas the biggest apology ever.

Yes, in my top 5 also! I'm so jealous!
