No, on Happy Days, Richie had a brother Chuck, but he only appeared in a few episodes.

Ron Howard is not the nice guy from old days on TV.

From what you read, neither was Andy Griffith.
Like TV father, like TV son.

Solo officially ended my run on Star Wars forever. That crap love connection between Lando and a robot was too much for my retro brain, done. Even beyond that idiocy, the movie sucked.

There were two different actors who played Ritchie’s older brother in the TV series.

The first actor was replaced (recast), then the second actor disappeared.

After that, Ritchie’s brother was never seen or spoken of again for the remainder of the series.

That’s show biz!

“Among the projects in early stages at his Imagine Entertainment is a series version of his fantasy feature Willow, which is being discussed for Disney’s upcoming VOD platform Disney +. Howard confirmed that the series is being imagined as a “continuation not a reboot”, that he hopes to direct some of the series and that he hopes Willow star Warwick Davis will return for it.”

I notice he doesn’t seemed hyped to get Val Kilmer back. Come on, who doesn’t want to see an old, fat, balding Mad Martigan try to strap on a sword belt again?

Yeah, by the time fans realized what Disney had done with TLJ, they had already spent their money on the tickets to see it, so the next best way to register their disappointment was to skip seeing Solo.

Has this idiot been taking lessons from the Hillary wing of the democrat party? Hollywood is such a joke.

I am seeing this “trend” more and more from the Hollyweird elites. They cannot accept the fact that their SJW laden poop is not being well received by audiences. Thus, their response, like the good little totalitarians they are, is to blame the audience. They label the audience as “trolls” or dare I say, “deplorable.”

The reaction to the last season of Game of Thrones stands as a shining example. The writers alienated over half their audience with rushed story telling that reversed years of careful character development all in the name of “plot subversion.” I saw SJW infecting it as well but maybe that is just my skepticism of anything produced by Hollywood.

The response was the same. The critics are labelled as “trolls” the last season failed because of “trolls” and it was “disrespectful” to criticize the last season. I say that this kind of response is “totalitarian” because the next step in this pattern is to call for social media, youtube etc. to start banning any criticism of Hollywood’s brilliant SJW masterpieces as being “hate.”

It happened to anyone who didn’t like Captain Marvel. They were labelled sexist trolls.

The sad news for them is that a dud is a dud and will always be a dud. If the audience does not like it, they won’t show. Unless, of course, the liberals force us to watch this in their re-education camps.

There was a time when Hollywood knew not to touch the third rail of allowing a cash cow franchise to be infected with SJW poop. That time is gone. Marvel, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, they are all being infected with Third Wave Feminism so that Hollywood can use their draw to indoctrinate the masses. That might work for one or two movies, i.e. getting the audience to sit through a lecture expecting a Star Wars flick. But once the cat is out of the bag as to what the true purpose of the film is, it is OVER.

But what do I know. I am just a “troll.”

You know, in the last six months I have seen two fan-made Star Wars short films that are ten times better than what Disney has been putting out. So I don’t think the well is dry, just the guy who is working the bucket is retarded.

In one of those Jay and Silent Bob movies
they fly around the country, go to the home of
each poster who trashed their movie, and beat
the sh** out of them.

Howard’s fantasy no doubt.

I very much enjoyed, “Solo,” thought it was a fun movie and well done. I was looking forward to the sequel, but I realized even before the film came out that it would fail...the fans were still upset about The Last Jedi and had no intention of giving it a chance. I thought that was really too bad, because I think it was one of the better SW movies.
