I saw the trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3 last night ahead of the sublime Forgotten Island (go see it!) and I guess they’ve straight-up abandoned any pretence of linking to the game in favour of painfully generic stay-at-home Dad sitcom stuff?

Not that either of the first two Angry Movies were masterpieces but they did at least try to build a story around the gameplay.

A Doctor Who/ Star Trek crossover would have sucked balls, especially with the respective showrunners at that point in time.

Maybe instead of bringing back Apu with a new voice they should have cancelled The Simpsons two decades ago and let it rest?

Apparently it bears repeating.

Fine but this counts as Avatar 4. You’re only allowed one more, Jim, and then you need to get back to working on something good.

James Cameron has released official artwork celebrating ‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME’ becoming the highest grossing film of all time, passing ‘AVATAR’.
