The suspense is killing me. O.o

Hey, that's true! "Magic Bean Talks" is WAY more available. Also, the shortened "Bean Talks" seems very unused and I find it easier to say ... though less magical.

As far as I can tell, it's not trademarked. The .com is taken by the aforementioned podcast (who hasn't released an episode since Dec 2011). All the other domains appear to be available, though.

For your consideration:

Concessions
Postexmachina
justsayin.pro
When the logo fades
Fade to black
Popcorn Gallery

But, you know, some variation of "Fix it in Post" is growing on me.

Just by the by,

backseatdirectors.com
movierepairmen.com
fasterandmoreintense.com

are all available. And awesome.

And I also like having The Intermission episodes be different from the regular Dif episodes. Some of my podcasting apps actually sort the episodes based on weather or not it's a regular or Intermission episode and I kinda like that.

Until a suitable replacement is decided upon, I shall think of you as "The artists formerly known as DiF". ...Shame that name doesn't qualify.

Hurray for a hypothetical October Sky commentary! I caught it on tv the other week and had forgotten how enjoyable it is.

I would also nominate The Right Stuff and Metropolis.

According to Bob Gale on his commentary, they couldn't get the entire band to agree to be featured in the movie, but Eddie Van Halen was fine with it, so they just labeled the tape Edward (small letters) VAN HALEN and, I guess, hoped we wouldn't notice. ... All of this begs the question, WHY IN THE WORLD would you not want to be in Back to the Future!?

I imagine many of these have been suggested before, but just to throw them out there:

The Land Before Time
Minority Report
Groundhog Day
Toy Story 3
Labyrinth
Big
A Knight's Tale
Joe Verses the Volcano
A League of Their Own
Willow
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Shrek

And some John Hughes maybe?
Ferris Beuller
The Breakfast Club
Home Alone

You guys like Miyazaki?
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
Howl's Moving Castle

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ender's Game. (Release date: Nov. 1st, supposedly) It has Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, aliens, war games in zero-G and the book was excellent! Definitely my number 1 anticipated movie of the year.

That, The Great Gatsby, Hunger Games 2, jOBS and Lone Ranger round out my top five.

Good point, Invid. That and Dorkman's letter to the director of Star Wars got me thinking. I doubt I'd be complaining about any of this if I actually liked the character of Black Widow. After the movie was over I didn't feel like I was friends with her. There are a lot of main characters in that movie and I had already had 2+ hours to get to know most of the other ones individually so that may have emphasized how distant she felt.

Maybe the problem for me being able to enjoy her/this movie is less about gender politics and more about basic ol' storycrafting.

I keep thinking that Padme shouldn't really work for me in Attack of the Clones. As a character she does a lot of what I've been complaining about, but in her case it doesn't really bother me. It's fun to watch her fall in love with that idiot even though we know (and maybe even she knows) it won't end well. Hmm.
