General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Chris]

I started rereading the game of thrones books and got reminded that Jon Snow has been dead in them since 2011. Died and got resurrected in the show basically instantly tho

 

[Butters]

so he never came back in the books

 

[Chris]

No that's just the last thing that was written in the books

 

[Butters]

or at least, not yet

 

[Chris]

The season 5 cliffhanger

 

[Butters]

damn, i just looked Fast Forever is scheduled out in 2028

 

[Butters]

and it was almost cancelled because the budget was over 200 million

 

[Butters]

wiki says the studio wanted them to cut the screen time of a lot of the cast down or remove them entirely, was the movie like 5 hours long?

 

[Chris]

Well if you remove someone entirely you also don't have to pay them so length may not have been the top concern

 

[Butters]

Also nobody stays dead

 

[Chris]

They just can't wait until they can use AI instead of having to pay actors

 

[Butters]

even paul walker is still alive in the franchise

 

[Chris]

Well his character didn't die

 

[Chris]

I assume they felt that would be a little tasteless since the actor actually died. But now they're glad they did it bc they can just CGI his face on there instead

 

[Butters]

Jordana Brewster always shows up and is just like, "brian is home with the kids"
