In most cases both apply. That's why I usually combine them: Quote: One crow washes another

I guess it could be worse:
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and
A good beginning makes a good ending Would become
A bird in the hand makes a good ending
Or perhaps
Children should be seen and not heard and
A good man is hard to find Would become
Children should be hard to find

I heard that Disney is still looking for people who are able to write something that resembles a movie script.

Why would they suddenly start now?

Because next month the sh*t os going to hit the fan and then, finally, some heads are going to roll. Hopefully not just those of some scapegoats.

In that case, I can't wait to see that happen...
(are you referring to their streaming service, so now they have to either put up or shut up?)

No, I was thinking of a certain movie that will be due next month and how they seem to be struggling to get out of the act without getting tomatos thrown at them at the test screenings.
The real entertainment these days seems to be their inability and on the other side the fans who are stocking up on torches and pitchforks. And that's absolutely free.

Well, in this case, it's way too late to do anything about "that certain movie", isn't it? At this point in time, the writers have long gone home (and hiding, I'm sure).
OTOH, no matter how bad it is, it's still going to rake in hundreds of millions. You can count on that.

From what I have heard, the first test screenings did not go well at all and they already have rewritten, partially reshot and recut the whole thing. Twice. And they still are not happy with the result. If only half of that is true, the fans will tar and feather them and then chase them out of the town.
As I said: This is getting far more amusing than any movie they could possibly make.

Time to bring the franchise to an end IMO. Disney's already made back the money they spent buying it, and then some. Yes, I said it.

I think they could improve it with a little product placement.
How about a death star with a giant 'That was easy' button from Staples on the outside. I mean - they haven't blown up a death star in - what - 2 movies now?
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

Only if the new death star is much bigger and more dangerous than all the last ones together. And let's revive the emperor to blow him up with it... wait...

But they need to do it with an all female cast. That ALWAYS works...

It aint over 'til the fat lady sings.
Always remember that, because a hand in the bush can lead to the activation of some malware that has been installed in your head by God, mother nature or Charles darwin (take your pick).

Would become:
