Title: (NEW Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 05, 2009, 06:51:24 PM
This thread is for listing upcoming movies & trailers for movies that look like they will be worth watching.
What this is mostly about is movies we might not have heard about unless someone posted it here.
Most of these movies might not have a big studio behind them and don't have solid release dates, but they've been announced and have a trailer that looks pretty damn good.

I'll start it off with a few even though most of these already have their own threads

Zombieland (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=57753)
Studio: Columbia Pictures
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring:  Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin
Release: October 9, 2009
Quote
n the film, Columbus (Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Machete!! (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=20149.msg532875#msg532875)
Studio:
Director: Robert Rodriguez
Starring: Danny Trejo, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey
Release:
Quote
Machete (Trejo) is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator (De Niro). The film was teased as a faux trailer that was directed by Robert Rodriguez in Dimension Films' Grindhouse, which featured a full-length film from both Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.

"Kick-Ass" (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=29019.0)
Studio:
Director: Matthew Vaughan
Starring: Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Nicolas Cage and Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Release:
Quote
The story centers on a high school dweeb named Dave Lizewski who decides to become a superhero even though he has no athletic ability or coordination. Things change when he eventually runs into real bad guys with real weapons.

Black Dynamite (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=26761.0)
Studio: Sony Pictures
Director: Scott Sanders
Starring: Michael Jai White, Arsenio Hall, Tommy Davidson, Sally Richardson-Whitfield, John Salley, Bokeem Woodbine, Brian McKnight and more... (http://www.blackdynamitemovie.com/about/cast)
Release: October 16, 2009
Quote
When “The Man” murders his brother, pumps heroin into local orphanages, and floods the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor, Black Dynamite is the one hero willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IE3btjbYZQ)
Studio:
Director: Terry Gilliam
Starring: Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole, Andrew Garfield, Verne Troyer, Tom Waits, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law
Release: US? UK Oct. 19, 2009
Quote
THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present-day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Doctor Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. An inveterate gambler, thousands of years ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick, in which he won immortality. Centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his daughter reached her 16th birthday, she would become the property of Mr Nick

i was sceptical about a movie called Zombieland, that was until i found out Woody Harrelson would be in it, at that point it became awesome incarnate. If anyone recalls I always said i thought the resident evil movies series should be called "Alice in Zombieland" because of all the wonderland references.

Looking forward to Avatar, because you know, it's a James Cameron movie. Also it supposed to be the best thing ever, effects wise and the first real showcase of what modern 3D cinema can do.

So I guess I'm pretty excited.

More films I'm psyched for are:

UP (It still hasn't been released here, grrrr!),
Where The Wild Things Are (Still iffy on this one, but I hope it turns out well),
The Princess And The Frog (Classic Disney Animation, **** yeah!),
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Director = Terry Gilliam, need I say more?).

I found some info on how they finished The Imaginarium
Quote
Heath Ledger as Tony: A mysterious outsider who joins the group. When Ledger died in the midst of production, the role was recast to have Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portray "physically transformed versions" of the character.

Depp, Farrell, and Law opted to redirect their wages for the role to Ledger's young daughter, Matilda, who had been left out of an old version of Ledger's will. Gilliam altered the part of the credits saying "A Terry Gilliam film" to "A film from Heath Ledger and friends."

I'm kind of upset.
I don't like going to the movies.
Black Dynamite makes its Canadian theatrical premier on the 14th, and on the 16th in the same cinema they have Dead Snow as a Toronto theatrical premier. Well I can't watch Dead Snow because I have a closing shift on that day, but Black Dynamite??? *shrug*
I will just have to wait for their Bluray releases.

Are they premier only releases?
if not then I don't see the problem... Although Black Dynamite is definitely a "Opening Night" movie. Hilarious audience commentary at the screen is what I'm most looking forward to.

Title: Clash of the Titans
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 05, 2009, 09:30:45 PM
Clash of the Titans (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/clash-of-the-titans/)
Studio: Warner Bros Pictures
Director: Louis Leterrier
Starring: Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Sam Worthington, Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Alexa Davalos, Jason Flemyng
Release: March 26, 2010
Quote
In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

This sweeping fantasy epic, a remake of the 1981 hit, was penned by screenwriting legend Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark) and has visual effect from people involved in The Dark Knight, Terminator Salvation, Incredible Hulk, Gladiator & Saving Private Ryan.

This one I'm excited for because I loved the original from way back in the day. Greek Mythology was one of my favorite things growing up & this movie deserves a quality remake.

new clash of the titans? Blasphemy! Im a huge Harryhausen fan, 2 summers ago I went on a rampage and watched most of the movies he worked on. I still need to see like 3 of them though. I like it when remakes don't have the same name as the original. Red Dragon and Manhunter got that right. Theres a remake for Nightmare on Elm street coming out, it'll be allright with Rorschach as Freddy, but whatever. Its just going to be the same damn movie as the original. If I were to redo it, i would completely re-invent it. Like Freddy wouldn't be designed in even the same way. I write too many scripts that don't get anywhere...i have am idea that has a deadline though...ever hear of a mockbuster? I need to learn to write at least a page a day on scripts. I wrote 4 pages yesterday. I have a 57 page comedy script, an outline of a horror script with 4 pages of a scene thats in the middle of the script. I just need to finish something so that I can get paid.
Title: Ong Bak 2 & The Last Airbender (Avatar)
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 06, 2009, 09:09:56 PM
Ong Bak 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLEneaH_XpY)
Studio: Magnet (I think)
Director: Tony Jaa & Panna Rittikrai
Starring: Tony Jaa, Sorapong Chatree, Sarunyu Wongkrachang, Nirut Sirichanya, Santisuk Promsiri
Release: October 23, 2009
Quote
After warlords slay his parents and the rest of his family, young Thai nobleman Tiang (Tony Jaa) escapes his kidnappers and joins an eclectic band of outlaws, who instruct the revenge-minded youth in a variety of deadly fighting styles. Now a master of weapons and hand-to-hand combat, Tiang hunts down those who robbed him of his kin. Jaa also directs and Sorapong Chatree co-stars in this martial arts thriller set in 15th-century Thailand.

The first one was very enjoyable just for the fight scenes alone. This one looks to turn it up a notch.

p.s. This movie is not connected to the 1st one due to the time at which it takes place (600yrs ago).
Like the trailer says "REAL FIGHT IS BACK!"


The Last Airbender: The Legend of Aang (http://)
Studio: Paramount Pictures & Nickelodeon Movies
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Starring: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel, Jackson Rathbone, Shawn Toub, Aasif Mandvi & Cliff Curtis
Release: Summer 2010
Quote
In a world ravaged by the Fire nation's aggression toward the peaceful Air, Water and Earth nations, reluctant youth Aang (Noah Ringer) learns that he's an Avatar -- a rare being who can manipulate all four elements and restore peace to the planet. Now Aang must join with his pal Katara (Nicola Peltz) and other allies to fulfill his destiny. M. Night Shyamalan directs this live-action adaptation of the animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender."

This is literally M. Nights last chance to do a movie that doesn't make me feel stupid for sitting through the whole thing. He's not a bad director, but if he does one more stupid "what a twist" movie I will never watch anything that he is attached to again.

Some of my students auditioned for that Last Ari Bender movie and I understand why they picked who they picked. But man his martial arts stink! I'm sure he has gotten better, but when he tries to roll his glider through his arms and back like a spear, it is done so badly.

Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stogi on September 07, 2009, 09:22:02 PM
Maybe they'll do something akin to the Matrix? Keano Reeves isn't a martial arts master afterall.

Anyway, I'm going into the Last Air Bender with no preconceptions. I'm not going to compare to the cartoon because nothing can top that masterpiece; it would be pointless.

Really, the only thing I want to see is the Avatar state. I get goose bumps when watching the cartoon and the avatar transforms into his avatar state. The music becomes epic, his voice God like, and in him is the power to do anything. It's really a sight to see, so I hope it's even better live-action.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on September 08, 2009, 01:03:53 AM
I've only seen the show a couple times, being as I'm 28 years old and only watch Nickelodeon or NickToons when my daughter is watching it, but it is beautifully animated and generally seems to be a pretty epic cartoon series.

I enjoy Avatar and like that Nick is trying their own epic sotry line that is obviously anime inspired. I just wish the coloring wasn't so dim(I guess thats the word i'm looking for). Just looks like everything is in a haze.

But as far as story telling goes, it is not on the level of One Piece and not just because OP has a billion episodes and had more time to flesh out.

I like season one alot, but it's not till season 2, where they find an earth bending teacher, does it really pick up. In fact, if I hadn't stumbled onto a particular episode of season 2 while channel surfing, I probably would have never become so interested in it.

I'll watch it objectively. I know nothing about it, so I will keep an open mind throughout s1, but I would have to commit to disc for s2 since it's not up for Instant Watch.

The cartoon is not that offputting, he was just kinda old and eccentric looking. (http://media.photobucket.com/image/disney%20mad%20hatter/kikiLOVEchai/mad-hatter-2.jpg)
The book version, which I assume this pic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MadlHatterByTenniel.svg) is more of the same.

They are both very different from the Tim Burton version that takes a handsome actor like Johnny Depp and makes him unappealing to the eyes.

Director: Chris Columbus
Starring: Kevin McKidd, Pierce Brosnan, Rosario Dawson, Steve Coogan. Sean Bean, Ray Winston, Uma Thurman,Catherine Keener and Joe Pantoliano
Release: February 12, 2010
Quote
After he discovers that he's the son of the Greek god Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), 12-year-old Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) strikes out on an action-packed adventure to rescue his mortal mother and negotiate a peace treaty between his father, Zeus (Sean Bean) and Hades (Steve Coogan).

I hate the title but I like the subject matter. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this one, and if I find the 1st book in the series for cheap, I might pick that up and give a read too.

Just watched the trailer. Looked pretty good; having Rosario Dawson in it is a big plus.

[REC]2 (http://rec2lapelicula.com/)
Studio: Filmax
Director: Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza
Starring: Manuela Velasco, Ferran Terraza, Javier Botet, David Vert, Ana Isabel Velásquez   
Release: October 2, 2009 (Spain) - US(remake?) release date unknown
Videos: Teaser Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55NP2_ZD4dY&feature=related) - Clip #1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keKeynnoBsw&feature=player_embedded) - Clip #2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPRhBLSkiUQ&feature=related) - Clip #3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgFMAIN6ePY&feature=related)

Quote
The action continues from [Rec], with the medical officer and a SWAT team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation.

By using the flipped perspective of the camera-equipped troops, Balagueró and Plaza have designed a shocker meticulously calculated to set your nerves on edge. [REC] 2 is Aliens to Alien, a sequel that ramps up the action but does not defile the spirit of its predecessor. Balagueró and Plaza have proved themselves exciting additions to the gory canon of Euro-horror masters, and they can't wait to drag the Midnight Madness audience into the darkness, screaming at the top of their lungs.

I know most people might wait for the eventual remake, since the original remake [Quarantine] was pretty much a shot for shot remake, but I will watch this as soon as it hit DVD on Netflix.

Looks like Walking Dead is getting a TV show, and its going to be on AMC, AMC is probably my second choice as far as people to make it. Showtime would be prefered, but Breaking Bad is already better than Weeds.

Director: Oren Peli
Starring: Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat, Michael Bayouth   
Release: Limited Release Sept. 25, 2009 - Demand It Here (http://www.paranormalmovie.com/theaters.html)
Quote
After a young, middle class couple moves into what seems like a typical suburban 'starter' tract house, they become increasingly disturbed by a presence that may or may not be somehow demonic but is certainly most active in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep. Or try to.

I've seen this movie about a 1.5yrs ago (it was made in 2007) @ a film festival in SF and it was kinda creepy. I can't say it scared me since no movie has since the original Nightmare on Elm Street when i was like 7 or 8, but the girl I was watching it with was clutching tight the entire time, and she wasn't the kind to scare really easily (for a girl ;)).

*If you like supernatural horror movies in a "believable" environment and don't want to spoil anything, don't watch the trailer. Just take my word for it and go watch it*

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 02, 2009, 01:21:43 AM
Zombieland (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=57753)
Studio: Columbia Pictures
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Starring:  Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin
Release: October 9, 2009
Quote
n the film, Columbus (Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Reviews:
Rotten Tomatoes - 89% (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/zombieland/)
Quote
Reviews Counted:56 | Fresh:50 | Rotten:6 | Average Rating:7.5/10

Consensus: Wickedly funny and featuring plenty of gore, Zombieland is proof that the zombie subgenre is far from dead.

Dread Central - 5/5 (http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/zombieland-2009)
Quote
Some films would be content to strike the perfect mix of comedy and above average zombie effects, but Zombieland adds another dimension with just the right amount of back story for each character. These scenes remind us of the tragedy of their situation, eliciting everything from a chuckle to an awww to a downright yank on your heart strings. The dramatic elements are never overly milked and strike just the right chords, complementing the scenes they piggyback like a snug-fitting puzzle piece.

It’s a joy to watch a film that seems to get everything right, has an audience howling with laughter to the point where you have to struggle to hear the lines that follow a gag, and STILL provides some extra gory eye candy for the horror fan who said, “You had me at Zombie.” The running undead look fantastic and are dispatched in a never-ending, ever-evolving innovative shopping list of carnage. You’ll applaud every crunch. Zombieland is a killer comedy with a vicious sense of humor. It’s the kind of movie where, halfway through, you’ll wish you already owned the DVD. Grab six horror-starved friends and meet me at the movies for opening night. It’s time we made a deserving film #1!

Chud.com - 8.5/10 (http://chud.com/articles/articles/20909/1/REVIEW-ZOMBIELAND/Page1.html)
Quote
If you were to take Zombieland at name value - ie as a zombie movie - it's one of the weirdest I've ever seen. For one thing, it's completely hopeful. Zombie films are, by their nature, almost always bleak. There may be a glimmer of hope at the end, but usually it feels like a band-aid on a gaping chest wound. Every good zombie movie has a sociopolitical layer, and Zombieland is no different, but this sociopolitical layer is about Obama, and about the end of the recession. This is a movie about making it through the bad times and seeing the other side. That's kind of cool, but I have to admit that it left me a touch disoriented at the finale, because I'm just not used to walking out of zombie films feeling... good.

The chemistry between Eisenberg and Harrelson is so good it's almost obscene. This is a tough relationship to pull off - Tallahassee immediately senses that Columbus is a bitch - but they navigate the waters well, without ever becoming too touchy feelie or even chummy. It's a real relationship that maybe wouldn't happen in the normal world, but in the chaos of Zombieland these two opposites together make perfect sense. Breslin and Stone are good, and Stone particularly has a great sort-of bad girl thing down, but they don't come close to matching the wattage of their male co-stars.

Just want to add that the original release for this movie was listed as Oct. 9th, but it's out in theaters everywhere this weekend. Not to spoil anything, but I hear that this movie is one helluva ride and just when you think it couldn't get any better there is a surprise cameo appearance that just makes things even better.

I hate going to the theater, but I think that's what I'm gonna do tonite.

Clash of the Titans (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/clash-of-the-titans/)
Studio: Warner Bros Pictures
Director: Louis Leterrier
Starring: Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Sam Worthington, Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Alexa Davalos, Jason Flemyng
Release: March 26, 2010
Quote
In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

This sweeping fantasy epic, a remake of the 1981 hit, was penned by screenwriting legend Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark) and has visual effect from people involved in The Dark Knight, Terminator Salvation, Incredible Hulk, Gladiator & Saving Private Ryan.

This one I'm excited for because I loved the original from way back in the day. Greek Mythology was one of my favorite things growing up & this movie deserves a quality remake.

Quote from: Netflix
Splice(2009) NR

Ignoring instructions from the pharmaceutical company that funds their research, groundbreaking genetic scientists Elsa (Sarah Polley) and Clive (Adrien Brody) forge ahead with an unorthodox experiment to create a human-animal hybrid, a new life form they dub "Dren" (Delphine Chanéac). But their wonderment at their fantastical creation swiftly morphs into regret when Dren makes deadly plans of her own.

It was made this year, and there is no mention of it being a remake or there being a sequel on Netflix.
the only other movie with a similar name on Netflix is a slasher flick.

edit:
I even checked IMDB and the only other movie you could be talking about is Slices and that is a compilation short story movie or something. So I'm not sure what you are talking about.

p.s. I've had this movie on my Netflix list for a while now, completely forgot about it though.

Sometimes the less you know about a movie the better it turns out being. I had no idea what The Matrix or 28 days later were going to be about when i stepped into the theater.

Dammit. Black Dynamite came out today and it's not playing anywhere near my house.

On a slightly related note, Paranormal Activity just went nationwide and is now playing in my area.

But I have been meaning to go see Zombieland.... so maybe that's what I'll do tonite instead.

LAW ABIDING CITIZEN

Quote
Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss to offer one of the suspects a light sentence in exchange for testifying against his accomplice. Fast forward ten years. The man who got away with murder is found dead and Clyde Shelton coolly admits his guilt. Then he issues a warning to Nick: Either fix the flawed justice system that failed his family, or key players in the trial will die. Soon Shelton follows through on his threats, orchestrating from his jail cell a string of spectacularly diabolical assassinations that can be neither predicted nor prevented. Philadelphia is gripped with fear as Shelton’s high-profile targets are slain one after another and the authorities are powerless to halt his reign of terror. Only Nick can stop the killing, and to do so he must outwit this brilliant sociopath in a harrowing contest of wills in which even the smallest misstep means death. With his own family now in Shelton’s crosshairs, Nick finds himself in a desperate race against time facing a deadly adversary who seems always to be one step ahead.

Clash of the Titans (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/clash-of-the-titans/)
Studio: Warner Bros Pictures
Director: Louis Leterrier
Starring: Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Sam Worthington, Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Alexa Davalos, Jason Flemyng
Release: March 26, 2010
Quote
In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

This sweeping fantasy epic, a remake of the 1981 hit, was penned by screenwriting legend Lawrence Kasdan (Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark) and has visual effect from people involved in The Dark Knight, Terminator Salvation, Incredible Hulk, Gladiator & Saving Private Ryan.

This one I'm excited for because I loved the original from way back in the day. Greek Mythology was one of my favorite things growing up & this movie deserves a quality remake.

The last trailer I saw for kick ass, well, kicked ass. I'm hoping its good.

Not sure if anythings been posted about spiderman 4 in this thread yet but.. I learned today that its one less movie to keep an eye out for. Its been cancelled, and sony pictures is looking to reboot the series and focus on Peters highschool days. Lame?
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 12, 2010, 01:45:00 PM
I read all about the Spiderm4n situation, and if you heard what Sony was trying to force into the movie, you would be happy that Raimi quit. Sony was trying to even worse than they did with Spid3rman when they forced Raimi to shoe horn Venom into the movie. In this version, they weren't gonna let Raimi do as he wanted (even though there was an article about letting him have the creative freedom he wanted) as far as villains and something about a baby. Peter Having a baby? I'm not sure, but the movie was definitely headed in the wrong direction.
Raimi saves his reputation by walking away, and McGuire gets a lucky break(said doing spiderman was killing his back) in being fired from the move.

Why this might be a good thing though is that supposedly Marvel has a little more involvement this time around with the new movie. Some are thinking that Sony might try to get Spiderman an Avengers appearance even though the 2 movies should be releasing around the same time frame. Others are thinking that Sony is trying to capture that whole Twilight and Disney Teen crowd since the script is rumored to be pretty "gritty".

I say if they can draw from some of the best sources of Spiderman in HS, make sure that who ever plays if is witty and very sarcastic yet fits the Spiderman physique and Peter Parker look, and the guy who played J. Jonah Jameson on board, then it could be a good thing to re-boot it.
McGuire wasn't the perfect Spiderman and Mary Jane was hard to look at period. Not to mention SM3 was pretty bad, but Sony was pretty smart to have planned for this and not let the property revert back to Marvel.

Sony only has Spiderman for 3 more movies, but Disney/Marvel need to figure out how to get Xmen back from Fox asap.

They should at least reboot it like they did with the Incredible Hulk, so we don't have to go through and see how he becomes Spider-Man again. The first movie was almost spot-on with the comic books (at least through the early 90s), they should basically be starting with "Spider-Man 2" - which is also essentially what New Line did with Friday the 13th.

Raimi has made up for it with Drag Me to Hell,

but its remaking the series if he goes to high school, if they want to reboot the series with different actors and a different director than they had better not go backwards in the time line. Its a waste of money and too regressive. There is a good spiderman origin movie its called Spiderman and its directed by Sam Raimi. They shouldn't backtrack. Rebooting Incredible Hulk was a great idea, but the reboot could easily take place after the first one. Rebooting Batman was way different because the series was gone for a long while and after the previous incarnations it really really needed it.

 The best way to do it now is to start where the story left off. Spiderman and Mary jane are together now, and maybe close to being married, but obviously his crime fighting gets in the way. There could be a love triangle with Black Cat, but that would ultimately be a side story. The next opponent that would fit would be either Morbius, Vulture, Lizard, or maybe Kraven. If Raimi was still directing, Kraven would be awesome if played by Bruce Campbell...i think even tubby he could still pull it off.

Moving onto the radar: The MAN OF STEEL (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-david-goyer-hired-to-write-superman-the-man-of-steel-9286)

Quote
1.Thomas Tull, the head of Legendary, got tired of all the discussion and decided chingate, let's do it.  So he went to Goyer and Goyer had an idea that actually takes the movies back to the John Byrne incarnation.  Modern.  Believable.  FUN!  So Tull got Goyer hired.
2.The film will not be called Superman and will be called THE MAN OF STEEL.
3.Brandon Routh will not star in the film.
4.Nic Cage will NOT star in the fllm.
5.Bryan Singer is not expected to direct.
Conoces como Mark Millar walks around acting like he was going to write it?  El Taco discovered that this was always BULLSHIT.  Paul Levitz hated the guy and he was never even discussed to write it.  He made all that "almost" stuff up.

I can tell you that Goyer's story involves Luthor and Brainiac.  It is NOT an origin and assumes audiences already know about Lois, Clark, Jimmy and Perry.  I know the Daily Planet is struggling due to the internet.  And I know it sets up a huge Kryptonian mythology.

I don't really like Superman, but I like Smallville. Goyer not only co-wrote Smallville but also helped write Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, so I have some hope for this Superman movie. Im just so glad that it doesn't continue off the last one and isn't another origin story. Smallville has been a 9+year origin story and if people don't know where Superman started..... then this movie isn't for them.

edit:

XCLUSIVE UPDATE: IGN has heard from reliable sources that Tull is downplaying this report. Goyer is in fact on the project, but not only that -- his The Dark Knight co-writer Jonah Nolan will also be scripting Superman: The Man of Steel along with him. Nolan's brother Christopher is expected to only executive-produce, and not direct, the film. That said, he will be "hands-on" as a producer. Since the Superman film is under the gun because of the ongoing legal entanglements involving the property, Warner Bros. wants the pair to get started on their script on the double.

Our sources add that Warners is confident in the early work that Goyer and Jonah Nolan have done so far on Batman 3, and that as a result Superman has now taken on a higher priority status at the studio than it had since Superman Returns was released.

Why does Luthor have to be in it again?  He has been in every movie for goodness sake.  Enough of him already.  How about someone that Supes can actually punch without fear of splattering them all over the country.  When has anyone seen live a decent live action superman fight? Never.  Only in cartoons.  Bring on Darksied, or Doomsday or someone.  Brainiac is something, but I hope it doesn't end up like a Brainiac cameo.

Man, I liked Brandon Routh, he was a good Superman. I'll bet they'll **** up the casting for this one.

Routh was a pretty good superman. If I were to do a superman movie I would have it take place in the 40s, i would go back to basics. In the 40s before he got all his origins and before he even had much of an alter ego he was sort of a ruff and tumble badass. He would just come in and fling around the bad guys left and right, pick up big things that got in his way, and all sorts of stuff. Superman's casting is really hard because he is the idealized male, they could find all sorts of people, but would they be good actors. One of my ideas for a superman movie is a superman movie not about superman. Some crazy stuff is happening, a war is going on, and people are just caught in the middle of the action, and superman comes out of nowhere. That'd be a great intro at least.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 26, 2010, 07:06:06 PM
The main problem with Routh is that he was cast as a Reeves Superman replacement and never got to be his own Superman. It's time to make a NEW Superman for the 2000's and the last Superman movie was not a good way to do that.

as a remake it looks like it captures the originals scariness pretty well, as well as having the best kills from the series. If they are going to do Freddy, they shouldn't try to copy Robert Englund. I would have gone in a different direction, but it looks like it will be pretty good.I've got the whole series and i watched Freddies Dead a week ago. I started to write a script with a similar premise, but it would be waaay different.

So there was a test screening for the "The Last Airbender"....It wasn't the final version and there was about 30 minutes of film left out.

Concensus: If you're a fan, you won't hate it. If you're not, you won't like it.

Either way, I can't wait to see it for the CGI alone (which I heard was ridiculously awesome).

Quote
The film tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).

IGN Review (http://movies.ign.com/articles/107/1076231p2.html) - 5/5
Quote
Cracking conversation is pointless if delivered by a cast of no-hopers, however, and mercifully Kick-Ass features note-perfect performances throughout, both from the seasoned pros and the many fresh faces on display.
[...]
For that very reason, Kick-Ass is as good a superhero movie as has yet been made -- storytelling of the very highest order, crafted by experts who know, love and treat the subject matter with the respect it deserves.

The result is utterly compelling from start-to-finish; an adaptation that perfectly captures the anarchic nature of the comic while at the same time eliciting unexpected emotions from a film about a crime-fighting kid in a wet-suit.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll squeal in delight at the outrageous behaviour of a little girl in a purple cape. But most of all, you'll wish that all superhero movies were like this.

Quote
I know there must be flaws in Kick-Ass. Maybe when the final score is put over the film it won't have quite the propulsive quality that this temp track gave it. Maybe a second viewing will reveal some cracks in the veneer. All I know is that the moment the film ended I wanted to see it again. It took me a couple of minutes to really get into the movie, but once I was in I was completely sold. Kick-Ass ends with the possibility of more adventures, and I want to see them all. I want to return to this hyper-violent, awesome world and get lost in laughs and sympathetic pain again. Kick-Ass is a movie that will have you on your feet, cheering your fucking guts out.

The Avatar -- Master of all four elements -- kept peace between the the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Only the Avatar has the ability to Bend (manipulate) all four elements, but one day, he Vanished. Then the Fire Nation attacked, forcing a war on the other three nations for one hundred years. Now, for the good of the world, it's up to 12-year-old Aang (Noah Ringer), the new Avatar, and the last of the Air Nomads (Airbenders), to return peace and balance by putting an end to the war and mastering all four elements.

Riddler seems the most likely choice, although one of the Nolans or Goyer were saying back in 2008 that they had 70 years worth of villians to pick from.

I think they have dismissed Catwoman and the Penguin before, and Chris Nolan said that it wouldn't be Mr. Freeze.

I personally hope we see Scarecrow again.

Cloverfield prequel/sequel Trailer before Iron Man 2?

http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/04/secret-jj-abrams-film-to-be-unveiled-with-trailer-before-iron-man-2/
Quote
Pretty much recreating the surprise of when Cloverfield burst from the shadows with a mysterious trailer before Transformers, it looks as though a new secret project
from JJ Abrams is going to be officially unveiled this Thursday, when Iron Man 2 takes its first bow at midnight screenings.

This is curious enough. There are, however, some other small, teasing details to discuss and they’ve gotten me even more interested.

Note that all of this comes from Drew McWeeny at Hit Fix who, if I read the situation right, was actually considering not posting the story and keeping the trailer secret (see: Twitter). Has he done the wrong thing? Has he undercut the magic a little?

I don’t think so. He certainly hasn’t got any info to share on what is actually in the trailer, or even a hint of what the film might be about. Drew has only given the hype and anticipation a kick-start. Then again, I would say that - look what I do for a living.

Okay, maybe there are some tiny hints of what the film might be about. There’s a title for one thing: Super 8. This might be, I’m thinking, just a code title, though I assumed the same about Cloverfield. And there’s some suggestion of rumours (which rumours? where?) that the film is somehow a Cloverfield sequel.

One theory would be that the film is a Cloverfield prequel - Super 8 home movies being a precursor to the video we associate with the first film. I think that theory is likely wrong, but you never know.

I also wonder if Super 8 is the same thing as 500 Rads, a previously reported secret Abrams project…? Very possibly, I think. How many mystery boxes can one man be prepping?

Super 8 as is super 8 video cams,
Super 8 as in the motel chain or
Super 8 as in some sort of super hero movie starring 8 people?

Kick Ass 2: Balls to the Wall (2012) (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/05/kick-ass-2-balls-to-the-wall-will-begin-production-in-2011/#ixzz0n4Cfxf2G)
Quote
Since Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass burst onto screens a few weeks ago,   speculation has swirled as to whether or not the film performed well   enough at the box office to warrant a sequel. A recent press release   (via Forces of Geek) for the forthcoming CLiNT magazine, a joint venture   between Millar and Titan Magazines, suggests that the sequel to the   film, Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall, will begin production in 2011 for a   2012 theatrical release.
 
  CLiNT is a new monthly anthology magazine that Millar is spearheading.   “I’ve worked on everything from Spider-Man comics to the Iron Man movie   for Marvel in New York,” Millar said in the release, “but what really   excites me is the gap I see in the UK market at the moment. There are   absolutely no comic-books aimed at 16-30 year old guys and I think CLiNT   has potential to make an enormous impact, bringing a new type of   magazine to a new generation.” The magazine will feature interviews and   write-ups encompassing all forms of entertainment, along with four   serialized comic strips.
 
  The press release announcing the magazine’s launch also features this   tidbit:
 
      Millar is also launching his sequel to the hit Kick-Ass movie in   the first issue of the comic. “Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall” has been   scheduled for production in 2011 for a 2012 cinema release

Cloverfield prequel/sequel Trailer before Iron Man 2?

Pretty much recreating the surprise of when Cloverfield burst from the shadows with a mysterious trailer before Transformers, it looks as though a new secret project
from JJ Abrams is going to be officially unveiled this Thursday, when Iron Man 2 takes its first bow at midnight screenings.

This is curious enough. There are, however, some other small, teasing details to discuss and they’ve gotten me even more interested.

Note that all of this comes from Drew McWeeny at Hit Fix who, if I read the situation right, was actually considering not posting the story and keeping the trailer secret (see: Twitter). Has he done the wrong thing? Has he undercut the magic a little?

I don’t think so. He certainly hasn’t got any info to share on what is actually in the trailer, or even a hint of what the film might be about. Drew has only given the hype and anticipation a kick-start. Then again, I would say that - look what I do for a living.

Okay, maybe there are some tiny hints of what the film might be about. There’s a title for one thing: Super 8. This might be, I’m thinking, just a code title, though I assumed the same about Cloverfield. And there’s some suggestion of rumours (which rumours? where?) that the film is somehow a Cloverfield sequel.

One theory would be that the film is a Cloverfield prequel - Super 8 home movies being a precursor to the video we associate with the first film. I think that theory is likely wrong, but you never know.

I also wonder if Super 8 is the same thing as 500 Rads, a previously reported secret Abrams project…? Very possibly, I think. How many mystery boxes can one man be prepping?

Super 8 as is super 8 video cams,
Super 8 as in the motel chain or
Super 8 as in some sort of super hero movie starring 8 people?


Super 8 is a Cloverfield Prequel (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20083)

Our sources tell us J.J. Abrams is actually directing this time around,   although nothing is confirmed. Earlier today news broke about a top   secret trailer for a new J.J. Abrams project entitled Super 8, which   would premiere in front of Iron Man 2 this coming weekend. No other   details were available at the time. An update at Vulture CONFIRMS that   Super 8 is in fact a quasi-prequel to the smash-hit viral monster movie   Cloverfield!! "Our sources...say that Super 8 is absolutely connected to   2008's Cloverfield  (possibly a prequel, but not a sequel)." They   continue with the plot details, which sound awesome. "Insiders   familiar with the trailer tell us that it shows a bunch of kids who are   shooting a movie with a Super 8 camera in the seventies or eighties.   When they develop the film, they notice that there's an alien creature   in the frame." OMFG. To put the icing on the cake, this sounds   exactly like the Abrams/Steven Spielberg collaboration announced back on   April 28th. Did I say OMFG?! Have your say below.

I liked Cloverfield so I'm interested in this one.

Out for revenge, he's joined by a reluctant old buddy (Cheech Marin) who's become a pacifist priest. Written and co-directed by Robert Rodriguez, this homage to exploitation films based on his fake trailer in Grindhouse co-stars Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba and Steven Seagal.

Machete has a release date - Sept 3rd 2010 - just before Labor Day weekend and the subject matter of the movie happens to coincide with some controversial political stuff happening right now. Specifically in Arizona with their immigration laws.
Robert Rodriguez and Machete have put together a special Cinco De Mayo Trailer to send a message to Arizona: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/44943 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/44943)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
  THUNDERCATS, HO!
 
  WARNER BROS. ANIMATION ANSWERS THE CALL WITH A NEW
 
  TAKE ON THE CLASSIC ANIMATED SERIES “THUNDERCATS,”
 
  TO AIR ON CARTOON NETWORK
 
  (June 3, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) has begun   production on “ThunderCats,” an all-new animated series for Cartoon   Network, based upon the iconic 1980s action classic. “ThunderCats” is   the newest series from WBA, joining “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,”   which was recently renewed for a third season, and the following   forthcoming programs: “The Looney Tunes Show,” “MAD,” “Scooby-Doo!   Mystery Incorporated” and “Young Justice.” The announcement was made   today by Sam Register, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs,   Warner Bros. Animation.
 
  “In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series,   ‘ThunderCats’ marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy,” said   Register. “The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure   to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should   help the show appeal to a diverse audience.”
 
  The 21st century reimagining of the series marks a creative   collaboration between WBA and Studio4°C, one of the most vibrant   animation studios in Japan, with credits including “The Animatrix,”   “Gotham Knights” and “Halo Legends.” WBA is working closely with   Studio4°C, utilizing the latter’s expertise to give the “ThunderCats”   characters a new cutting-edge look while remaining true to the   compelling storylines and mythology of the original series.
 
  “We at Studio4°C are excited to be in this creative partnership with   Warner Bros. Animation to bring ‘ThunderCats’ to life,” said Eiko   Tanaka, President and CEO, Studio4°C. “This collaboration combines the   strengths of our two companies – high production values and great   storytelling – toward reintroducing this classic fan-favorite to a new   audience.”
 
  Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated   artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro,   Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like   characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.
 
  The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the   characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A   sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious   battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince   Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his   destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new   telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest   for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable   lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.
 
  “ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben   10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The   Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The   Last Airbender”) are the producers.

Snaaarffff!!! (http://site.wizardworld.com/blog/2010/06/02/breaking-news-thundercats-returns/)

Well, it can't be much worse than the original Thundercats. Maybe this one will have a consistent mythology rather than making things up as it goes along. I'm not thrilled about Studio4°C doing the animation, though. I'm struggling to think of a project they've done I've found artistically pleasing.

thank god, thats a pretty good one, i wonder if thats his battle suit or his USO suit?

i had figured that if they can make Spidermans suit look good they can make Caps suit look good. Key = Texture + Color Variation.
IT kinda reminds me of the difference between Ocarina link and Twilight Princess link. Maybe the new X-men will have colorful suits.

the new suit is a nice blend of suits

i had been designing my own suit, but as you can see...i gave up

I hate calling that movie Batman 3. I know it may be the 3rd movie in the current series, but I will refer to it as Batman 8 as it is the 8th Batman movie (not counting the straight to video movies).

It's part of the reboot series, TJ. It has no continuity with the prior ones so calling it so is misleading, confusing and flat out wrong. You're the stickler for these things, you should know better than to do something like that.

Post by: TJ Spyke on June 06, 2010, 07:11:41 PM
I know that, the whole idea of "re-booting" something is stupid. Most of the time it is little more than the writers saying they are too lazy to come up with a movie that fits the existing continuity. Besides, this is the numbering format the Bond movies use even though the Daniel Craig movies are supposed to be a re-boot with a new canon (i.e. the next Bond movie is codenamed Bond 23, not Bond 3).

Not that it matters, I will usually just say "the next Batman movie" anyways.

Post by: ThePerm on June 06, 2010, 08:12:00 PM
Outside of The Fly (the Vincent Price version) and the man with no name trilogy and Bond, there weren't really many sequels to any movies until the 80s. Sequels became common after Star Wars and The Godfather popularized them. That being said, you can only call something a sequel if it is the same series. If its in a different series it is in a different series, Now you want to call the next batman part 8, but it would really be part 10 or 11?. There was 2 serial versions of batman, and then there was an Adam West Batman movie made in the 60s, and then there were 4 Batman in a series from the 89-97, and then there were 2 more Batman movies from Nolan, oh wait but then there are the cartoon batman movies, maybe they should count too, and there are like 4 of those....also there was a captain america movie made in 1990, so should the new one be referred to as Captain America 2? The bond movies statistically are an anomaly when it comes to naming schemes, there are so many of them its unusual. Star Wars is even weirder, the 4th movie is actually part 1, where as the 1st movie is actually part 4, the 3rd movie is actually the 6th part, and the 3rd part is actually the 6th movie. The biggest problem with the old batman series is they are so bad (excluding part 1) that there really is no laziness with a reboot, thats really what they should and did.

There is no excuse for Sony's move on Spider-Man (4) :P though, as the original series is good and doesn't need a reboot. Things only need a reboot if they suck and that is the Reason why they didn't reboot Superman with Superman Returns. Although, Superman Returns wasn't Spider-Man 2, Iron Man, or The Dark Knight quality, so a reboot is necessary, but really only a half reboot, i don't need a damn origin story. I just need it to not suck.

From the recent interviews from Nolan, the next Batman movie might also be a Superman movie, Superman would totally make Batman irrelevant, and thats a pretty good angle for a movie. I think Batman is going to end up dying in the next movie :P See, I hear 2 things and the mind goes crazy. Though, even if that path is intriguing theres only a 25% chance of them actually doing it.

The first Tim Burton movie was pretty bad, the worst of those four Batman movies. It's still lazy to re-boot. The Superman situation is bad. They did a half re-boot to begin with (saying to ignore to 3rd and 4th movies). Superman Returns was a little boring, but it wasn't a bad movie (better than Batman Begins). As for the Spider-Man movies, 1 was OK, 2 sucked, I haven't seen 3 but I have heard a lot of bad things about it (especially that they screwed up Venom, which sucks because Venom is the best and most popular Spider-Man villain).

Directors need to stop even using the term re-boot, especially for comic book movies as they usually do not share continuity anyways. At least J.J. Abrams didn't try to screw up the Star Trek canon (he probably would have pissed off every Star Trek fan forever if he did), he made the 11th movie take place in a alternate timeline. I won't get into that whole situation, it really sucks that they seem to be focusing on that alternate timeline rather than the real canon for Star Trek XII.

so your saying Batman was worse than Batman and Robin?

Star Trek is special, because it doesn't need continuity. :P

No, but it's not better.

As for Star Trek, you can't throw out 40 years of continuity. Unlike Star Wars (which has mess of a canon where anything a Star Wars book says is canon unless it contradicts the movies) and unlike any comic book franchise, Paramount has been very careful in maintaining canon. I don't buy the reason for this alternate timeline, Abrams could have made a "mainstream" Trek movie while sticking to the established canon. The TOS era is boring. If Paramount wants the movies to be in this other timeline, fine; make a new TV series and set it in the normal timeline.

TJ Spyke, No disrespect :P: but your taste in movies sucks.

Superman Returns wasn't the worse movie, but it was bad and it was boring.
Batman Begins ran circles around it.

Spiderman 1 was good, Spiderman 2 was better and Spiderman 3 was a failed attempt at a still born abortion where the baby managed to live.... somehow. A reboot is not necessary, but the 3rd movie shouldn't have happened the way it did.

As far as reboots go, they happen when you don't want to continue with the drain circling story of the last movie that happens to share the same property you are trying to focus on. You really think Batman Begins should have continues the story from Batman Forever or Batman & Robin? Don't actually answer that because I'm sure i wouldn't like your answer :P:
This new Batman was a darker more realistic story meant to wipe the memory of the previous cash-grab from recent history.

A reboot gives a different director a clean slate to create his vision for the property that someone previously tackled. The only real issue with reboots, is how often they are happening in this creatively bankrupt Hollywood we have today.

I really wish that Marvel had a no Reboot clause in that contract with Fox & Sony so that they would be forced to continue the Fantastic 4, Spiderman and X-men story lines till they are not worth making anymore so that the rights would revert back to where they should be.

As for Star Trek, why not continue to explore this alternate timeline that has drawn in a new audience? Why go back to the old timeline that is far too expansive for anyone not a Trekkie to get into? You want more continuity of the old ST stuff, then go read the books, and play the games and visit the conventions and all the other stuff, this new movie timeline is for a new audience and a new generation of trekkie. A generation that can start from the beginning.

Post by: TJ Spyke on June 06, 2010, 10:20:44 PM
The first 45 minutes of Batman Begins is the worst I have ever seen in a comic book movie. The rest of the movie is good, but that doesn't make up for the first half sucking.

I am not sure how you could like Spider-Man 2. I will admit it's not the worst comic movie i've seen, but I won't say it was good.

Considering Batman Begins is supposed to be a origin story, they could have stuck to the existing canon (especially since Scarecrow hadn't been in the previous four movies, not that it matters since Scarecrow was only i about 10 minutes of the movie).

I am not totally opposed to re-boots, I am annoyed at how often it happens now (as you pointed out, even the relatively new X-Men and Fantastic Four movies are already being re-booted).

The new Trek movie drew fans in because of the huge budget and advertising, I have no doubt that a movie sticking to the main timeline would have done just as well with that same treatment. Star Trek: Enterprise took place before everything else in Trek, so doing a movie based on the ENT crew could have avoided all the stuff in the other shows and movies (other than the four seasons of ENT of coarse). Let the "mainstream" audience (the same idiots who probably like crap like Michael Bay movies) have this alternate timeline with the movies, give me a TV show set in the real timeline and I will be happy.

I admit that the 1st 45 minutes of BB was slow, even very boring to lots of people, but that doesn't really take away from the movie all that much.

Spiderman 2 was good, better than most sequels and I think in certain ways better that the first movie, like XMII. But exactly like Xmen they fell apart in the 3rd movie.

As far as Star Trek..... a movie based onteh failed TV show Enterprise would have been a terrible idea and only dawn in the small audience that couldn't even be relied upon to keep the show on the air.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 07, 2010, 12:22:36 AM
Enterprise aired on UPN (which didn't help, a lot of people didn't even get the channel in their area. When UPN moved Enterprise to Fridays, this basically killed the show as many local UPN affiliates aired sports on Friday nights). They didn't advertise the show very well. The first season was not that good either, the show became really great in season 3 (with the Xindi arc) but it was too late by that point.

Where did I say that the movie would have had to been about Enterprise? I merely said that the movie could have taken place around that time. Enterprise took place about 10 years before the founding of the Federation, and the show ended about 3 years before the Earth-Romulan War (which had been mentioned many times in Trek canon but never explained in detail) and about 100 years between ENT and TOS. So there was ample room to have a movie that would not have had much to worry about and would have let Abrams create his own characters rather than just rely on existing characters.

Post by: ThePerm on June 07, 2010, 12:59:20 AM
hehe,

my favorite Spider-Man movie is part 2, actually about 20 minutes before TJ's  5:11 post I had actually got done watching it for like the 5th time. The Dark Knight was on again on tv, but I was like you know what, i feel like watching Spider-Man 2.

As far as characters go, i think its the best character exploration of the series. I can relate to Peter Parker a lot, he's intelligent, but that doesn't mean everything goes well for him. His social skills are a wreck and this keeps him from opportunity. I can relate to how Peter feels when he hangs out with Harry, I get a similar feeling when I hang out with my friend Rick, because I banged his sister. Alfred Molina is great as Doctor Octopus. I have to be honest, I was always a Venom fan, and in any other incarnation I had never really cared much for Doc Ock as a character. However, this one brings him to life. He is a tragic, and lost person with nothing to live for, he just sort of wanders around in a fugue state attempting to maintain his dead dreams. Mary Jane is looking for a hero in her personal life, she knows she can't be with Spider-Man so she goes for the astronaut. She is suspicious of Peter's activity, and in the back of her mind she thinks Peter could be Spider-Man, but it is a hard thing to swallow, because Peter is a fucking doofus, he's Spider-man..seriously? Peter also deals with the duality of his personality, on one hand he's the man as Spider-Man, but his life sucks otherwise. Aunt May's house is being foreclosed and it's too bad she doesn't put a gypsy curse on the bank manager for not giving her a loan. There is a great  Evil Dead scene in the movie. It helps to be familiar with both Darkman and the Evil Dead series for this movies, because otherwise you might miss some magical bits. A lot of people hate Maguire as Peter/Spiderman, but I think he's perfect. He fits the awkward nerdy side of Peter, and at the same time pulls out some of the stronger bits. Another thing people hate is that the mask gets taken off a few times, I really don't mind this. Your aware who Spider-Man is, sure some people may see who he looks like, but know one who actually knows Peter besides Mary Jane sees his face, so good luck on the police sketches that their not telling anyone about anyways.  Doc Ock dies too, so he's no consequence. Although, in real life a train camera would catch his face, although in real life there are no above ground trains in New York. I could go on forever, there is so much depth.

Spiderman 3, is my least favorite of the movies, and many blame Raimi, but apparently Raimi just wanted to make it about Sandman, which were some of the best bits of the movie, apparently Sony forced venom in due to his popularity. Too much **** happened at once and it hurt the movie. The movie was nowhere near as bad as Batman and Robin or Batman Forever though. The series could have been salvaged, although in the long run they would have to reboot Venom because they screwed him up so badly. If I were to do a new one, Lizard would definitely be the next villain, I'd rather do several movies with one villain than one movie with several villains.

ah Venom, if only you were set up with a two movie arch you could have been better

It wouldn't really matter where they started in the existing time-line since there is still too much history connected to the current time-line for anyone not already invested to bother trying. It's got nerd, geek, trekkie and all other sorts of unattractive labels attached and it needed a new start for a new audience and even included nods to the old audience.

I think it was the best they could do to bring in the new without throwing out the old.
Something for everyone.


Spiderman 3 had Venom because Sony forced it on him, but it was originally supposed to be Sandman & The Vulture(Ben Kingsley I think).
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: ThePerm on June 07, 2010, 01:31:33 AM
I had heard Raimi wanted Vulture for the next movie, but it would make more sense to have Vulture and Sandman together than Sandman and Venom. Neither enemy are really enemies that I care much for, but as a double threat they would be that much more interesting. As I said I didn't care much for Doc Ock besides in Spider-Man 2. If the A plotline was replaced with Vultures it could have been really good. I could see how the movie could have meshed together, and it would be visually pleasing too. From what I heard John Malkovich was a pic too, and because he not only looks the part, but is a screen captivator it would balance out any inconsistencies. Actually, the structure sounds similar to Iron Man 2, whereas vulture is Hammer, and Sandman is Vanko. One of these days computer effects will be so good they will be able to seriously cut budgets, and we'll see more movies more often than every 2 years, and plotlines will be much more maliable, without a reduction in quality.

I am actually looking forward to Resident Evil: Afterlife. Yes, I know that Paul Anderson has screwed the series up in movie form, but the chance to see Mila Jovovich partially naked is just too appealing for me to miss out on ;) . This iteration of the franchis is in 3-D and it is going to borrow from Resident Evil 4 and 5. In fact, in the trailer there is a zombie with a tentacle protruding from its mouth like the ones from RE 5.

Based on the trailers and everything i've read about it (including people who've seen previews). It has nothing to do with the original really. If they wanted to call it something else, fine. Don't call it The Karate Kid and then have it have little in common with the original.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!

But it's not really a remake, but a new story for a new generation.
An unconnected sequel using the same name for familiarity.
I see nothing wrong with that.

this new Mortal Kombat is kinda cool, it seems fake though, but these actors are recognizable, where is Caterkiller? :P Despite all shortcomings it sounds interesting.

For a while they had been considering calling the new Karate Kid "Kung Fu Kid", but name brand recognition sells seats better. Think of how Goldeneye sold like 9 million copies and Perfect Dark barely sold 250,000. The Karate Kid story isn't even original, iv seen about 10 kung fu movies with the same plot, and Rocky by the same director also has a similar plot. Its a training montage movie!

That is my point. It has nothing to do with the past movies, it is just using the names get try and sucker people into seeing the movie thinking they will be getting a Karate Kid movie. If they called it something else (like "The Kung Fu Kid", which would be more truthful since it is kung fu being taught instead of karate), fewer people would go to see it.

Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: ThePerm on June 08, 2010, 09:46:21 PM
Our point is, from a marketing stand point its a great idea. Also, I don't think its even a company treating people like they are stupid either, because it has the same plot line. Boy meets old man, old man teaches kid how to fight, kid benefits. It IS Karate Kid. The title is really, really unimportant from my standpoint.

Case and point I watched this movie called Detour in 2003, it is essentially an unofficial remake of The Hills Have Eyes from 1977. In 2006 the remake for The Hills Have Eyes comes out. All 3 movies are essentially the same thing, but it doesn't matter what they are called, we know what we're getting into....its a modern version of Hansel and Gretel. There is no originality, why should we even pretend anymore? 

Also, Detour is an obscure movie, while the remake did pretty well. It is better to be an official movie in a brand than an unofficial knockoff. The Kung Fu Kid sounds like a knockoff.

The Last Airbender (cartoon) sequel in the works for debut 2011

AVATAR: The Legend of Korra

A spinoff from Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is in the works.
The channel said Wednesday the new animated TV series will premiere in 2011. It has the working title, "The Legend of Korra."

Nickelodeon says the series will build on the "mythology" of the original "The Last Airbender" series, which inspired this summer's live-action movie from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan (SHAH-muh-lahn).

The "Legend of Korra" is from the creator-producers of "Avatar: The Last Airbender."

Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson says the new series will focus on a teenage girl avatar named Korra. Brown describes her as hotheaded, independent and "ready to take on the world."

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" has ranked among the highest-rate series on the Nickelodeon and Nicktoons channels.


Would you like to know more?

Nickelodeon said in a release that “The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after the events of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang – a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra.”

Korra’s quest eventually leads her to Republic City–the epicenter of the world of “Avatar.” A metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology, the city is inhabited by people from all nations. Korra finds thatRepublic City suffers from rampant crime and is also dealing with an anti-bender revolt. Korra is tutored by Aang’s son, Tenzin, is the ways of airbending.

So to shorten that up a bit;
New Avatar from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra who is being tutored by Aang's son Tenzin 70 years after the last series in the time of steam-punk.

The first issues of the Scott Pilgrim predated No More Heroes by several years, so probably not.  I'm not really familiar with the graphic novel, but from what I've read, it draws influence from a number of video game and anime sources, really.  I mean, it

One of my favorite interview quotes about the movie: 

Quote
Edgar Wright: I haven’t told you this yet, but Shigeru Miyamoto (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto)—the Mario creator from Nintendo—has seen part of the film. We had to get his permission to use this piece of music from The Legend of Zelda for that dream sequence. So when I was writing to Nintendo to get permission, I was saying, “This music is like nursery rhymes to a generation.”

I apologize if this has been posted before, but...Red Brand Machete Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liEmaDwNV18&feature=player_embedded). It looks so badass.

The trailer I posted made me think that this movie wasn't going to turn out to be as good as I think it should, but apparently it was a censored trailer. Now the trailer you posted, Brandogg, is full of win. I'm happy to know that it's going to be as awesome as I think it should be.

Now that you guys mention it, and after looking at Eva Mendez on imdb, it does look like her. Wierd. She's not even mentioned in the credits at the end of the trailer, nor on Machete's and her own imdb page.

pirates 3 was way too long, i just couldn't wait for it to be over while watching it. Its one of those movie series, where the first one was great to watch, but as soon as it got into sequel territory it just couldn't recapture the flame. Still, I would probably watch a new one, just not in a theater. Some movies its better to take 15 minute breaks and not have to worry about missing anything.

A comedy that looks pretty funny

The Other Guys (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/video/article300101.ece?vxSiteId=6247211d-66e0-4454-b73a-3f1610efa39a&vxChannel=Film%20Trailers&vxClipId=1347_SUN47073&vxBitrate=300) - 4 minute preview

starring: Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrel, Samuel L. Jackson, The Rock, and more.
It actually looks pretty funny (minus some Will Ferrell improved lines)


and if you keep letting the video play aftewards, there is a trailer for a movie called SuckerPunch.
It looks lie everytihng a guy would want in an action movie (minus sex & nudity). There are hot chicks, swords, guns, kung fu, dragons, slo-motions action, fantasy settings, and more stuff I'm sure will pique your interest. I couldn't really tell what the movie was about from the preview, but description on Netflix seemed pretty good.
Quote from: SuckerPunch
In this mind-warping action thriller, Baby Doll (Emily Browning), a girl slated for lobotomy in a 1950s-era asylum, leads a group of young female inmates in an attempt to escape both their mental fantasy worlds and the actual institution where they are prisoners. To accomplish her plan, Baby Doll must steal five objects -- but is the man who's trying to stop her real, or a figment of her imagination? Zack Snyder (Watchmen) directs.

Wut? His character hasn't changed since Arrested Development and I think that is the biggest problem with all his movies.
He is always George Michael in every movie. He has been type cast but he is making lots of movies so I'm sure he doesn't really care right now.

Saw Scott Pilgrim as well.  It was really good.  Anyone who is saying that guy can only do "timid Canadian" should see this movie, although he acts that way some he acts completely different at other times, especially the end.  Also, anyone who likes video games should see it, there are a lot of video game references (the Zelda fairy fountain theme in the bathroom is hilarious).  Although one of my friends hasn't played a video game since Pacman and he thought it was great, so it isn't just for video game fans.

Post by: ThePerm on August 23, 2010, 12:56:53 AM
oh yeah i wasn't saying he's just a timid Canadian. Many times it takes the right director to break an actors typecast. Otherwise, the actor just gets identical roles.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: gbuell on August 23, 2010, 08:50:25 AM
Even if he's doing the same thing over and over - that's what he's being asked to do, and he's quite good at it. How many actors really play wildly varying roles between movies, anyway? The list is short.

considering this is Sacha Baron Cohen regularly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0b_lTEgICw

than we should be pretty good. He looks like Mercury, he just has to change his accent and go higher pitch. I'm confident in his acting, because the guy knows how to be in character.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on September 25, 2010, 01:32:16 AM
I thought the same thing Perm thought when I heard the news. He'll need some accent coaching, sure, but I think he'll do a great job. Borat and Bruno might have people typecasting him in their minds, but those are just two movies. Of course, there was the Ali G Show, but I think you need to give the guy a chance to show his range. Even if it's a helluva chance, playing such a beloved figure.

I'm sure many will agree with me when I say "Your opinion in movies sucks".
Shaun of the Dead was one of the better/best Zombie movies made.

and while we're on the subject of dead people, the remake of Let Me In is looking pretty damn good.

I wasn't the fondest of the original since the subtitles apparently didn't really match what was being said and it was a little boring the way it was shot.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on September 25, 2010, 07:16:45 PM
I checked out Shaun because it had good reviews, but I hated the movie. For a comedy, it didn't exactly make me laugh either. Some people love the movie, there are hundreds of movies I would rather watch than it.

Also, not true about firearms in the UK. They are extremely restricted, but you can legally own guns there. Basically the allowed ones can be found at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_the_United_Kingdom#1997_Firearms_Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_the_United_Kingdom#1997_Firearms_Act)).

Another one off the top of my head that was really good was the Dawn of the Dead remake.
28 Days later was cool and so was the 1980 remake of NotLD.

But SotD was anything but boring and even though it wasn't gut-busting funny, it was still very humorous.

i also looked up that wikipedia article and

they don't have the right to arms, they have the license to arms to be more clear. Also, concealable weapons and handguns are pretty much entirely banned with only 0.1 percent of the population owning any.  Still licensing restrictions and low popularity keeps the ownership level down, contributing to the hilarity of a zombie attack. Yes the average British person would have to fight zombies off with old records and cds, the only available rifle would be a historical one in a tavern several blocks away.

Maybe I could try watching it again to see if my mind has changed, the last time I watched it was around the time it came out on DVD. IIRC, a lot of the "jokes" were typical British humor and I don't find that funny. I will be fair and check the movie out again with Netflix.

I found SotD to be a huge let down. The trailers made it look hilarious. Several other popular comedy movies failed to interest me as well though so I have a theory. Watching comedies like that alone lower the entertainment value. You need to be in a group--and the right kind of group at that.

I feel the same way about Southpark.

Completely bored an unintersted in most episodes unless I'm watching it with someone that enjoys SouthPark, then it's usually very funny.

SotD may be a similar type movie where it helps to be in a good mood, ready to be entertained and it never hurts to watch the movie with someone else that is also likely to enjoy the movie. But that is why I don't usually watch comedies alone, I'll watch horror instead... & SotD is not a horror.

Just in case you haven't heard yet, Batman 3 will be called "The Dark Knight Rises".  Sounds a bit bland to me.

Sounds too similar to the last movie. Though how much you wanna bet it was the crazy popularity of the last one that caused them to choose such a similar name.

Actually, I think the new Batman title fits really well with how the last movie ended. Nearly every in Gotham hates him because of what Harvey did, and now he'll have to face that hatred while trying to protect them all. It sounds like he's going to 'rise' into being the hero again.

Avatar 2 is going into production because James Cameron isn't going to do Cleopatra with Angelina Jolie. Btw, why do thwy always pick white people to play Cleopatra? I know the ruling class in Egypt were lighter skinned, but the meant they were Middle Eastern looking as opposed to 'typical African' black, just like Jesus...

Anyway, I thought Avatar was one of the best movies I've ever seen and I didn't like Titanic, and thought the first Terminator was a very cheesy 'typical 80's' movie, though I did enjoy it, but not as much as the second.

They're saying this one might take us underwater, so expect lots of new amazing visuals, and another round of how life is connected since there will new life to connect to.

Edit: They're also going to turn Michael Jackson's Thriller into a full length movie, an idea Michael apparently had before dying, and now will be done on behalf of his estate.

Edit2: I looked back at some previous posts and I just want to say that I hope Megamind is an attempt by movie studios to show kids that there's more to life than being popular and things like intelligence, pride, and hard-work can carry you further in life, and bring greater happiness/satisfaction than passing good looks and muscles.

Because it's easier for the typical, brain-dead Hollywood audience to identify with? Historically however, Cleopatra would have been very light skinned. By that time, the kingdom was little more than symbolic and a lot of Greek blood was coursing through the crown.

It was in the article I linked to

But what about Wolverine, and the mess that film made of Wade's origin? While they don't say exactly what happens, it sounds as though Deadpool breaks the fourth wall to let the audience know that he thinks it sucked too. So let's all pretend it never happened.

but I can also give you a little snippet from the script too.
**POSSIBLE SPOILER**
Quote from: script
NT. APARTMENT - DAY - PAST

a CLOSE-UP of a Deadpool ACTION FIGURE from 'Wolverine Origins.' Mouth sewn shut. Blades implanted into the wrists. In the exact same POSE we just saw the real Deadpool.

WADE (0.S.) A little piece of me curled up and
died the day this came out.

We PULL OUT to reveal that Wade is referring NOT to the action figure, but to WHAMl'S 'Music From the Edge of Heaven' LP, which he is now holding.
He tosses the LP into a near-full TRASH CAN, right on TOP of the Deadpool action figure.

***ANOTHER POSSIBLE SPOILER*** I LOL'd

DEADPOOL: Ooooo-rlando Jones.

I liked Wolverine Origins. It may not fit perfect into what people imagine is the 'perfect' timeline (seriously, why are the comic books allowed to have multiple variations but the movies aren't?) but it was good for what is was.

Maybe Deadpool kind of sucked, but it wasn't his movie, it was Wolverine's and he ripped **** in that movie, just like he was supposed to. I don't like the bashing of the Origins movie without which this movie probably wouldn't even exist.

It's kind like how Eminem talks **** about his last two albums on his newest one (on Recovery he disses both Encore, and Relapse) and I thought they were both good as well, not his greatest, but had a few good songs on each, and one particularly good, very nearly great, song on each as well.

Art is for interpretation, let sleeping dogs lie.

The first Punisher movie was decent, though he should've been a little darker, and the re-launch wasn't terrible either but the 'fans' hated on both.

Edward Norton's (I forget the director) Hulk was also good but that also got rejected by the 'fans' and now we're going to get a (likely) half-assed T.V show. I say people stop complaining and learn to take things as is.

If you remove prejudices and expectations before seeing a movie, they become much more enjoyable for what they are; simple and (I can't stress this word enough) SINGLE, forms of entertainment.

No. They fucked Wolverine up because they already knew they planned on doing a Deadpool movie afterwards. FOX execs stepped in and did that to Deadpool for who knows what reasons

(Fox Exec says: We want Deadpool to be a crazy mutated mutant... instead of using his 2 swords like normal, make them into retractable blades like Wolverine...
Director/Scriptwriter/Actors say: WTF!? that would be retarded, what about the follow up movie starring Deadpool like we discussed!
Fox Exec: Huh!? uhh... c'mon guys, we're living in the NOW and this is gonna be EPIC.... also make lasers come out of his eyes like Cyclops
Director/Scriptwriter/Actors: But Deadpool can't do that, that would sorta ruin the character and make doing a Deadpool movie a lot harder
Fox Exec: ....Damn you guys whine like bitches, so make sure you sew his mouth shut... maybe next time you won't complain so much
Director/Scriptwriter/Actors: FACEPALM!!!)

Ryan Reynolds has said he was interested in playing Deadpool since years ago and Wolverine was supposed to be a launching pad for that movie to happen. They fucked up the character and everyone that knows the characters including Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were both very unpleasant about how the Fox money suits could just step in at anytime and ruin alter the movie. I believe both of them(RR & HJ) have both negotiated deals with Fox now to have a more creative role in regards to their own movies to prevent this from happening to any sequels.

Ryan Reynolds has even talked about how good the current script is that was floating around out there, so there is hope that we will get the movie that we want.

Also, Eminems last 2 albums sucked, so I'm glad he was willing to admit that. But that is coming from someone that is not really an Eminim fan outside of his first few albums (before D12 turned his gold finger in one of lead)

I liked the first Punisher and haven't seen the 2nd one yet. So I can't comment on them other than they should have just made a sequel, not a reboot.

The second Hulk was good, but Edward Norton is probably the biggest reason there wasn't a sequel. Marvel supposedly didn't like him after working with him, and thats why he's been replaced in the Avengers movie. I don't know anything about a TV show.

And the problem with a lot of these movies is that ALL of the major comic book movies have decades of source material and millions of fans that grew up knowing the characters and their stories. So we have certain expectations when those characters are brought to life and some suit, who likely hasn't read a single bit of the source material, starts making changes without thinking about how that affect the not only the current movie, but any future sequels and overall fan reaction. It's not like these characters were made up for the movies afterall, so it would be perfectly reasonable to have expectations and prejudices going into these types of movies. If the studios can't deliver a faithful recreation of the IP they licensed, then don't bother.
Next someone is gonna say that the CDi games were good for what they were and we should appreciate it as art and entertainment. Bullshit by any other name still stinks so let's not purposely try to step in it.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: MaryJane on October 31, 2010, 07:45:00 AM
Ahhh... to have a point missed so badly.

Art is for interpretation: just because YOU think a movie or album sucked doesn't mean it did, it means YOU didn't like it. Movies, music, painting, books, and self-expression; all forms of art, all open to be INDIVIDUALLY judged by INDIVIDUALS.

It's one thing when someone releases a half-assed effort, but in Wolverine Origins, despite the changes to Deadpool (again it wasn't even his movie, and WO was supposed to launch lots of other individual movies) the actors, directors, editors, sound crew, etc. all put their best efforts forward.

Also, 'decades of source material'. I ask again, why are those decades of source materials allowed to have incongruent side stories and even originating stories as they switch from writer to writer and illustrator to illustrator but the movies aren't? There are like 3 or so different origin stories for Wolverine, and I think just as many for Spiderman. There really isn't a 'perfect' timeline or even character model, only what people incorrectly imagine there is, and I find that to be based mostly in the old cartoons and T.V shows, not even the comic books.
Not saying that's you personally.


And I say again, people who read the comic books should be used to differing story arcs and changes to a character powers and attitude, they did it all the time.

You're free to your opinions, but you're not free to purport your opinion as unchallengeable fact.

Perhaps there are people who liked CDi games, I've never played them, but it doesn't seem ludicrous to me.

One man's bullshit, is perhaps another man's favorite childhood memory.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 31, 2010, 12:33:42 PM
The actors in the movie didn't like the overall outcome of the movie, not just me.

The origin of Wolverine as presented in the film was fine, but thats not why the movie gets hated on.
It's not really hated on for anything to do with Wolverine, but more how they handled the villain. They butchered Deadpool and that is simple fact.
It's also common knowledge that this cash in on the Wolverine popularity was a Deadpool debut which was to lead almost immediately to a Deadpool movie. They've been trying to find a way to bring Deadpool to the bigscreen for a long time, but have been waiting on a good way to introduce him. This was 2 Origin movies in 1... and it did not go so well.

This is why Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds supposedly renegotiated deals with Fox to have some creative control moving forward because in order to create art, the artist(s) needs to be able to portray his vision in tact and that is not what happened with the Wolverine Origins movie; some suit stepped in during the painting and said "we need more purple here and here, and turn it sideways, it would look better that way". So it wasn't me that missed your own point.

This movie was "art" interrupted.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: MaryJane on October 31, 2010, 05:42:29 PM
I don't understand why the villains portrayal matters to the movie? Wasn't he the 'classic' Deadpool until they started altering him, or am I remebering that wrong? (Honest question)

And (another honest question) do you know for certain that it was a Fox exec and not an overzealous writer who wanted to bring his own personal touch to the X-Men universe who decided on Deadpool's portrayal?

Also, usually when an actor isn't pleased with how a movie turned out it's because 1. The movie didn't go over well, and the actor wants to distance himself from it so the Hollywood elites won't associate them with bad movies or 2. Because it wasn't edited to their liking, meaning the scenes and/or cuts of those scenes that the director chose weren't to the actors taste, but again that criticism is usually reserved for movies that did not go over with audiences. If you know for certain that their objections were because of executive pressure, then I stand to be corrected.

 When Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds got their scripts, they should have known exactly what the producers and writers wanted to do with each character. Scripts are more than just lines; they are detailed worded descriptions of the character. Everything from what the character says, where they are facing, and where they are moving.

It might not have been so easy for RR, but HJ threatening to walk off because of drastic changes to the script would have to make any exec think twice. So either the artists submitted themselves to the changes, or knew well in advance.

As for the actors signing contracts that allow them a more creative say in the movie, I don't know if it went through, but a girl I went to high school with and is now trying to become an actress, told me a while back, that the Actor's union (is it called the Actor's Guild, or is that just the awards show?) was pushing all studios to give such rights to actors.

Either way, the final product is the art. Once you start asking how it was made, you start to lose objectivity. Not saying not to question.


Edit: For clarity

I don't have links and I don't have time to look for them right now, as the stories are old now, but they weren't pleased because it was a last minute script change after filming had started or something like that. Niether of them were happy with the changes made but obviously not enough to walk (RR still wanted to do the Deadpool movie). And in this case the villian mattered because Wolverine Origins was also a Deadpool origin aimed to launch the next spin-off movie.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: MaryJane on October 31, 2010, 10:31:25 PM
Wolverine's origin was Deadpool's death in this iteration, which again, unless I'm remembering wrong he started off 'normal' in the movie, and only as he neared his death did he change into things he wasn't; the things forced upon, just like another popular Marvel character who wasn't born with an animantium skeleton. Personally, that's why I liked Deadpool, he was kind of a, 'this could've happened to you Wolverine' worst case scenario potrayal, and I was o.k with that.

And the script changes; they submitted to them. If they really had a problem they would have walked away it happens often enough, and if the star is big enough, the whole movie goes in the trash which is why such conflicts tried to get resolved quickly.

Also, I saw the trailer for Faster, it looks like a lot like Death Proof, but with a 'good guy' bent on revenge driving the muscle car and one bad guy driving a ferrari.

Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 01, 2010, 01:24:49 AM
I'm not an expert on Deadpool or anything, but as far as I know he was a "normal" person who was given a mutant healing factor from Wolverine, but never got any other enhancements. This movie was his origin. They screwed it up by giving him adamantium katanas that retract into his arm and Cyclops's Eye Beams. And Deadpools signature wisecrakin was taken away when they sowed up his mouth. (I'm feeling like a broken record here re-explaining the same thing over and over again.)

as far as walking off the set... not if you want to get paid. RR wasn't really established as "Deadpool" so he doesn't have the fanbase to make such demand for that role like HJ would for Wolverine. Also there are such things as contracts, so I doubt one can just walk away once past a certain point of pre-production without some sort of penalty. But like I said before, they weren't happy with the changes, but RR still really wanted to do the Deadpool movie (and after reading a piece of the script, the movie could be the best comicbook movie yet) and walking out on Fox would pretty much make sure that didn't happen.... if the movie ever gets the green light(the script so far was Hitgirl & Bid Daddy in their spectacular action scenes from KickAss meets the wise crackin Van Wilder).

*I should also add that W:Origins wasn't really a full Origins for DP, but more of an Introduction that touches on his origin story to set you up for the spin off.

forget about deadpool, Green Lantern is going to be huge and Ryan Reynolds should just focus on that, with which they could just reboot deadpool in not sucky form.


This Deadpool script sort of dismisses the aborted version of himself from Origins with a reference to himself in that movie. Seriously, from what I've read of this script so far has me hyped for this version of the movie to become a reality. I have no doubts that RR will do a good GL, but I'm not too familiar with the character and not super hyped for the movie even though I will watch it with much enthusiasm.

Post by: MaryJane on November 01, 2010, 09:15:15 AM
BnM, we've nearly exhausted this argument, but this was Wolverine Origins; screw Deadpool. The only thing Deadpool, Colossus, Sabertooth, Gambit, and the others matter to Wolverine's movie, is were they relevant to his story, did they add anything? Not were they faithful representations of this perceived perfect timeline/scenario.

ALL of those character I listed and others, are for whom this movie was to be a test run for their own Origins movie, because they felt the X-Men series was over.

Personally, I think it's a clever executive ploy to make the next one about the character everyone got upset about; it provides that much more incentive for people to see it, and since he was a 'bad guy' in WO that offers even more intrigue for others. Either way, these movies are all instant cash cows; despite the Deadpool hate WO brought in a ton of money. I think the first Hulk movie has been the only superhero movie to not make a profit.


The thing about Green Lantern is that I think they're either going underuse or overuse the ring. Iron Man was good/better than expected because they made it at the right time technology wise, had a great actor, and a storyline relevant to our times. I'm hoping Green Lantern will be good, but for now I am rather skeptical.

The Mirror (via Film School Rejects) spoke to actor/writer Michael Jai White who revealed that he's working on a sequel to the blaxploitation action parody Black Dynamite. White said, "I've had the idea for Black Dynamite 2 for quite a while now, and it's gonna start where Black Dynamite left off . There's lots of things we didn't get a chance to do in the first one." After pimp-slapping the First Lady, what else is there?

White wasn't exactly forthcoming with details, but did say: "You know how Black Dynamite just grows in ridiculousness? Well, this will be a fitting sequel."

Just read on CNN that the next Wolverine won't be a sequel to Origins but a stand-alone movie that has Wolverine going to Japan where he falls for a woman who is already betrothed and then he fights her brothers and father to win her hand.

It's mentioned in CNN's comments section that the storyline is lifted from a miniseries done by Frank Miller in the '80s.

Hugh Jackman says to expect a dark drama, because this is Wolverine, not Popeye...

The movie is being directed by Darren Aronofsky who also directed Requiem for a Dream, and The Wrestler. He was also supposed to do a new Robocop movie but refused to do it in 3D like the studio (I think Miramax) was pushing him to do.

This director, and the fact that the storyline is a Frank Miller creation gives me a lot of hope for this movie, I just hope they don't decide to give Silver Samurai red swords, or Lady Deathstrike (Mariko) a scar on her face, otherwise the whole movie will suck because a secondary character isn't portrayed in a manner pleasing to fans ;) .

i'm sure the movie will look better than the trailer, i dont think it looks bad really, maybe cartooney. It might be much much better when your watching the scenes with context.

Also note the mask looks different in different clips. The different fx firms handling the special effects are probably not all using the same color green. Another note..the color green is a problematic color. Computer monitors cannot display certain types of green, it might look different on film. Though i'd imagine as an fx artist it would be difficult to adjust between the mediums. They should throw a flair of cyan in.

Potentially bad news about Deadpool movie: http://movies.ign.com/articles/113/1138094p1.html

Quote
Comic book writer-artist Rob Liefeld has taken to Twitter to rip 20th Century Fox, the studio behind the feature film adaptation of his comic Deadpool.

CinemaBlend points out a steady stream of insults hurled by Liefeld at the studio, the reasons for which aren't immediately apparent but obviously Fox did something to piss him off.

Here's a taste of what Liefeld tweeted today:

"Dear FOX studios, get your act together. Deadpool is not Green Lantern, not a family film. DP is "filthy" think Expendables $$ w/ RR"

"Also FOX, find your balls and film the script from Rheese and Wernick. You will make loads of money and thank yourself later."

"It boils down to this, Ryan Reynolds, Mr. Sexiest Man alive paired with best comic script ever written, no-brainer....make Deadpool happen!"

Looks like Fox wants to turn Deadpool into a PG-13 movie. After the first Punisher movie was rated-R and didn't sell well, I figured their wouldn't be another, but a Deadpool movie should be at least borderline R rated if not fully.

I'm not hip to twitter lingo, or whatever lingo 'Expendables $$ w/ RR' translates into something meaningful, I know the movie Expendables, and I know what w/ is, but other than that I'm lost.  If anyone knows let me know.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 03, 2010, 12:21:55 PM
RR = Ryan Reynolds and the script was pretty damn good.

The level of violence is no different than maybe Kill Bill or what I've seen on The Walking Dead and Misfits.
There was plenty of blood and some dismemberment but nothing that should get it a Hard R since violence is pretty acceptable by US standards.

Marketed right, I'm sure this movie would be alot better than what I've seen of Green Lantern, R rating or not.

This is apparently old news, but I just found out that the next Spider-Man movie is going to a reboot, and will start with him in High School again. Even more frustrating to me, is that they're doing the multiple villain thing again which I hated about Spider-Man 3. This series has some of the best super villains ever, and they deserve more than a passing glimpse, like Sand-Man got.

Unless the next Spider-Man is going to do some sort of alternate-universe storyline, I can't see the point in watching this.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: gbuell on December 07, 2010, 12:46:09 PM
Yeah more than 2 villains is just a bad idea, and even just 2 is tricky. Reboots are great sometimes but I liked the original two Spider-Man movies enough that I don't think it's warranted. We shouldn't feel the need to reboot a series every time it has one bad movie (Spider-Man 3).
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Sundoulos on December 07, 2010, 02:16:50 PM
Maybe the powers that be just thought it would be too jarring to an audience if both of the original lead actors changed. 

I'd agree that it just seems as if it's too soon for another Spidey reboot, but I suppose Sony feels the need to cash in on the movie rights while they still have them.  Still, it will be interesting to see how they try to differentiate the new movies from the old.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 07, 2010, 02:20:05 PM
Sony has to reboot to keep the series alive or the rights revert back to Marvel. Same with Ghost Rider if a new movie isn't out by 2012 I believe (I think Nick Cage is already already working on it).

As far as Spidey reboot though, I heard it was switched to College since the actors involved looked a little too old for Highschool. That shouldn't really change the story much if at all though.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Morari on December 07, 2010, 05:01:17 PM
Maybe a Spider-Man reboot will allow Sam Raimi the time to make a decent film... like Evil Dead 4!
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: MaryJane on December 07, 2010, 05:50:28 PM
I hope Sony goes massive budget and fails, unless of course they do an alternate universe story. But apparently one of the villains is going to be the little known ProtoGoblin so it seems they're reaching in the wrong direction.

If they didn't want to continue the established storyline, a one-off story might be less jarring than a reboot. Everyone and their mother saw the first Spider-Man. A reboot so soon makes me feel cheated, especially since the first was by far the best, and this reboot will have to top that not to be considered a failure.
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: ThePerm on December 07, 2010, 06:35:23 PM
2 villains works only if there is a definite lesser villain. Only Nolan seems to be able to really handle it though.

@Shaymin

Why? What about 3D detracts from the movie?

Maybe movies don't 'need' it, but do movies really 'need' color and sound to get their point across?

Silent black and white films were plenty entertaining, why ruin them with people talking, and color that distracts from the story?

Oh, and those fancy new cameras are the future. They are RED Epic cameras, and Peter Jackson has ordered 30 of them to shoot The Hobbit.

So if you don't think perfect color replication makes or breaks a movie, then how is it detracting? Is the movie less enjoyable because the blue looks a little green? Would you even really notice something like that without a side-by-side comparison, to know what color the director intended to show?
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stogi on December 08, 2010, 12:40:56 AM
Yeah, 3D movies do seem a bit darker but that's only because of the glasses.

I think 3D is awesome, sometimes breathtakingly so. How To Train Your Dragon is a good example of how 3D can make a movie just that much better.

What I don't like is the post production 3D work (i.e. the shoe-horned kind). Clash of Titans featured post production 3D work and so did The Last Air Bender. Both those movies sucked, but the 3D was god awful in its own right.

Anyway, once we do not need glasses anymore it'll become apparent to even the biggest hater why true 3D (filmed from the start in 3D) is and always will be the new standard.

In ultimates uncle ben and aunt may are hippies, which is why sally field is in. Martin Sheen is pretty much a typical Uncle Ben sort.

The beginning and end of the movie are set in present day, but the rest of the movie takes place between 1939 and 1945.

Basically, Steve Rogers wants to join the military but is deemed unfit to serve. He instead volunteers for the top secret Project: Rebirth and becomes Captain America. From what I have read, there is a scene that shows a fighter plane in the Arctic before they flashback to World War II.

Supposed trailer for a new Mortal Kombat movie (http://kotaku.com/5558339/if-this-is-the-next-mortal-kombat-movie-sign-us-up)

It looks so deliciously horrible!  I love how they try to rationalize the story.  ;D

Look slike Warner Bros. gave it the green light to be turned into a 10 episode Online Mini-series focusing on Michael Jai Whites Jax character from the original short.
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/23052
Quote
So much for the proposed Mortal Kombat remake that Warner Bros. Pictures had hoped to get off the ground. Still, fans of the bloody battle are in for a treat as Bloody Disgusting learned that director Kevin Tancharoen - who directed the awesome online short - will return behind the camera for a 10-episode web series dedicated to the popular video game. Penned by Tancharoen, Todd Helbing, and Aaron Helbing, star Michael Jai White leads the cast as "Major Jackson 'Jax' Briggs. Shooting will take place in Vancouver this coming February. Contested expected to be cast are: Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Durak, Kabal, Kitana/Mileena and of course Scorpion. No release date is planned, and there's no word on that R-rated remake. The only plot details we could conjure up is that a few Earthlings will fight to save the planet from Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung, two Gods ruling over parallel universes, or something to that effect.

I'll be checking this out whenever it becomes available, and hopefully it 's good enough to lead to something much bigger, like an HBO mini-series or a Movie or something.

Remmeber this Mortal Kombat short starring Michael Jai White aka "Black Dynamite"

Supposed trailer for a new Mortal Kombat movie (http://kotaku.com/5558339/if-this-is-the-next-mortal-kombat-movie-sign-us-up)

It looks so deliciously horrible!  I love how they try to rationalize the story.  ;D

Look slike Warner Bros. gave it the green light to be turned into a 10 episode Online Mini-series focusing on Michael Jai Whites Jax character from the original short.
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/23052

That's pretty awesome news. I was always a big fan of the original film adaptation. That web trailer was pretty impressive, even if the style was a huge departure. Hopefully they'll keep Jeri Ryan around, too! ;)

It is kind of odd that they mention Durak in the article... I mean, wouldn't Goro make more sense?

Looks like Expendables is getting a sequel.
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48122 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/48122)
Also sounds like Van Damme might be in this one as long as Seagal isn't.

What would you guys want out of an Expendables sequel? (I hope more for an A-Team sequel, but Expendables 2 could be great)

I'm hoping Arnold's team goes head to head with Stallone's team and Willis even has a bigger roll orchestrating the whole thing.
I'm hoping Arnold's team is a carbon copy of Stallone's team and looks a little something like this

Stallone vs Arnold
Jet Li vs Jackie Chan
Terry Crews vs Michael Jai White
Statham vs Wesley Snipes
Mickey Rourke vs Danny Trejo
Lundgren vs The Rock
__________ vs Van Damme( or Seagal)

and I haven't paired up them all since I don't remember everyone on the team. Did Lundgren die at the end?
Who am I missing, who else should be included and what/who would you change?




edit: added Danny "Machete" Trejo

Post by: oohhboy on January 18, 2011, 05:26:57 PM
Clearly the only one that can fight Van Damme is Van Damme himself and Seagal has started to go Shatner.

The one biggest thing I would ask for is a competent editor who doesn't snort coke like a kid eating sugar while editing. That and Sly getting out of that wheelchair that is CG to cover up his lack of experience with real effects.

He tried to make an old school movie but forgot about making it old school or even tried outside casting old school actors.

I much rather see another Machete than another A-team movie. A-team is a retarded movie, but damn it you never go full retard!
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 18, 2011, 06:19:45 PM
I haven't seen Machete yet, bit The A-Team was great. Way better than Expendables.
Expendables was a mess mostly in the editing department, but all over the movie.
The A-Team was a non-serious action movie done mostly right and I would've hoped for a sequel to that before Expendables.

But Expendables has a lot of potential to be something better than it was, so I hope that they learn from all the mistakes made with the first and use that to improve the second.

Hathaway might make a sexy Catwoman, but she has a HUGE mouth (like Julia Roberts) and it can be quite off-putting at times.

and according to IMDB, Tom Hardu is only 5'9", isn't that a little short to play a BIG character like Bane?

Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Ian Sane on January 19, 2011, 02:30:07 PM
Going back to Expandables 2, my problem with the first film is that it is everything I HATE about modern action movies.  Just a bunch of shitty looking CG and shaky cam **** where you can't tell what is going on.

GOOD action movies SHOW you what the hell is going on.  That's because good action movies have good fight choreography and impressive stunts.  They WANT you to see it because it is impressive.  CG is not impressive.  You get no rush from seeing CG things explode.  The rush is from the real object exploding.  You want to see cars get wrecked and sets get blown up.  The fact that that really happened is what blows you away.  And shaky cam is just to hide the fact that nothing exciting is actually happening.  You think Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan would have been as successful if the camera was shaking all over the place during their fight scenes?  The whole point is they have all this cool **** that you want the best view of.

My brother and I love action films and we have identified what we consider the five crucial elements that make up a good action movie.

1. fights - it can have swords or knives, basically hand-to-hand combat.
2. shooting - ie: gun fights, anything involving projectile weapons and long-range combat
3. stunts - guys jumping from building to building, bailing from moving vehicles, etc.
4. chases - car chase is most famous, could be on foot though or with any vehicle
5. destruction - explosions, car wrecks, stuff gets destroyed

A great action film should ideally have all five elements.  Any sort of impressive action movie set piece contains at least one of these core elements.  If you kept the same Expendables script and just filmed it differently it would have been fine.
 
Regarding Batman.  The reason to cast Anne Hathaway is because she is a big star.  She's pretty and she can act fine but the reason they are casting her is star power.  That is a big problem with blockbuster films.  They think about the star-\ power first and the question of whether the person looks or fits the part is secondary.  But then when I heard they were casting Heath Ledger as the Joker I thought that was retarded.  I figured they cast him entirely because at the time he was hot and had star power.  In the end it became an legendary performance that will forever be his most famous role.  So you never know.  Though hopefully Hathaway's Batman experience ends up better for her then it did for Ledger.

If it was all about star power someone far more famous would have been cast as Bane as well. Casting isn't a problem for Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight is solid evidence of that. The truth is, Hathaway is an excellent actress (see: Rachel Getting Married), regardless of how famous she is.

Quote from: Summary

Quentin Dupieux directs this inventive twist on low-rent revenge flicks, which follows a car tire named Robert that rolls through the desert Southwest using its strange psychic powers to blow up birds, bunnies, human beings and more. But when Robert spies a gorgeous woman motoring down the highway, he decides to follow her and take a chance on love. This gleefully over-the-top black comedy stars Cecelia Antoinette and Thomas F. Duffy.

Wow, unless 'Hood' is the greatest thing since sliced bread, it's going to be the movie the critics try to use to derail Will Smith's career. Mark my words. He's been doing too good, now his kids are doing good, and his marriage is successful, they need something to bring him down with and this could be it. They tried a little with Hancock, but that was a good movie that was advertised poorly (in that the movie was completely different than what they advertised, like Observe and Report, and even Kick-Ass to a certain degree) and people still liked it. Maybe I'm just feeling paranoid for some strange reason...

It's no secret that The Man® is out to make an example of Will Smith as soon as the opportunity presents itself. That is why he has to choose his projects with extreme caution.

I've yet to see Will Smith in anything that wasn't terrible.

I would totally watch Bill & Ted 3. Somehow though, I don't logically have much hope for it being as good as the previous two entries in the series.

The Matrix 4 and 5?! Seriously? The only way that could possibly be of interest were if they actually made them as The Matrix 2 & 3 and completely retconned the already botched sequels they made. Oh, and didn't make it in 3D.

I'm probably alone on this one, but I liked Wild Wild West as well. Sure it was corny and historically inaccurate, but it was funny, and since it was a comedy that's all it had to be.

I loved I Am Legend. The ending was great, and I'm also looking forward to the prequel. It's also rumored that there's going to be a sequel to Independece Day, and a MiB 3, two more that I'm looking forward to if made.

That's fine if you disagree. I find him to be quite annoying as an actor, personally. Men in Black was entertaining, but not because of Will Smith.

If nothing else, I can be sore that he was involved in ruining such great stories as I, Robot and I Am Legend. :P

I'd like to join in this discussion only guessing at what it's about from the last three post (and only post on this page) and say that after watching Hancock for the first time yesterday..  I don't think I like Will Smith. He makes decent movies, but his persona in most of them just got old I guess. After awhile it seems like he's just playing the same guy over and over again and I can't help but get sick of it.

With that said, I've yet to see Pursuit of Happiness, so maybe that'll turn it around..? I dunno, it might still annoy me that he's so rich he can just buy movies for him and his family to be in.. just sayin'.

Also, the original reason I'm in this thread:

Just read Matrix 4 & 5 are probably going to happen.. and maybe Bill & Ted 3!? (http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=20424) :/
Title: Re: New Movies we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: MaryJane on January 24, 2011, 05:58:47 PM
Um, all action heroes have pretty much the same persona. I don't think someone timid is capable of saving the world from aliens, disease generated zombies, or evil masterminds. And you should check out his dramas; Pursuit of Happyness(sic), Legend of Bagger Vance, Seven Pounds, and an older movie I'm drawing a blank on where he tricks rich families into letting them into their homes. That movie was brilliant, and I don't know how he didn't win an Oscar for it. He's one of the greatest actors of our time, right up there with Johnny Depp imo, but as you mentioned, a lot of people are just jealous of him because he's black and successful (not calling you a racist in anyway).

Just a side note, I hate the unwilling hero in movies and anime, it really pisses me off when people don't take up the responsibilities their given.

Will Smith's best action movie was either I. Robot, MIB or Bad Boys. He's still a good actor. His yell when he's getting tossed around cracks me up everytime for some reason and I sincerely believe the emotions he displays are real (or realistic). But I can understand how people can get burned out with his action roles.

That said, I'm always excited to see him doin movies. Though Seven Pounds was bullshit.

I liked Will in Independence Day. He is playing the up and coming guy who has to prove himself, but at least it wasn't a tentpole character for him at that point. I Am Legend throws that character off, which is good. Really, the bad part of that movie was the creatures. Though watching the original Omega Man, I think I prefer the CG ones. And if you haven't, go see Made In America with Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson. Its Will's second film and you get to see a glimer of the movie star he is today.

Someone fucked up with the Matrix. The original was great because of the social commentary and skewed way of looking at the world. Some original camera work is icing on the cake. Then someone decided it was all about action, not subtle jabs at the status quo, and the next two movies were shat out with a thuderous thud. I can only hope that the next movies have a bit more bite to them.

I can't lie. I've always enjoyed the second Matrix. Not because of it's greatness -- it is pretty damn stupid with a nonsensical plot. (That guy at the end, for real?)

But that movie is the best of the three in terms of action. I love the hallway scene in the first movie, but nothing compares to the hour long action scene that takes place first in a foyer, then a parking lot, then a highway. I was on the edge of my seat yellin "Dammmmmmmmmn!" the first time I saw that, and it doesn't get any worse with multiple viewings.

The third film is terrible though. The only part I like was when they flew out of the sky and saw the "real sun". That was mesmerizing, but it only lasted maybe 5 seconds.

I really disliked how the 3rd Matrix movie ended. And I hate how people try to explain it away as 'some sort of eastern thought/philosophy' thing. Really they sucked at writing properly. I think they just didn't outline the plot and so when they started to arrive at the end of their story they went "Oh, crap, we don't know how to end this mess!" and left a ton of plot holes and viewers scratching heads. It's either that or they really did steal the script from that lady and that is why the later films were terrible.

Matrix 2 & 3 were also the films that started that nasty film fad of filming sequel 2 and 3 of a hit new movie back to back with conjoined stories and leaving a huge nasty gap at the end of the second film. I'm more accepting of arcing story lines than most but I dislike when they do it in a way where you feel the 3rd film is rushed and incomplete. Better to take a bit of extra time and do it right instead of spitting out the film in a years time.

I Am Legend was enjoyable but I think I prefered the alternate ending better. Felt more complete. I started listening to the original novel on CD but never finished it so I don't know if they followed the book very well.

The Omega Man was a very loose adaptation. While I'm generally a big fan of Heston, I would suggest watching The Last Man on Earth instead. It stars the ever-so brilliant Vincent Price in a screenplay that was actually written by Richard Matheson. ;)

It's rather daunting task, but if you watch all 3 Matrix movies back to back they seem a whole lot better.

I loved the first movie so much that it was painful when I originally watched the 2nd and 3rd, but one day I was home with a big bag of goodies, and one of the movie channels was showing them in a row. So I plopped in front of the tube and with the aide of DVR (pausing for bathroom breaks) I watched all 3 and was blown away, and I actually thought the 3rd was the best in terms of being a complete movie because it wraps up some holes from the first that I had forgotten about in the space between the movies, while providing good action and drama.

I disliked The Matrix Reloaded and absolutely hated Revolutions. Both films had a lot of filler, but Revolutions was by far the worst offender.

The end of Reloaded left the door open for a really intriguing conclusion to the trilogy. Instead we got a boring mech battle and some cop-out peace treaty. The entire speech with the Architect should have been used as a springboard to reveal that the "real world" was in fact just a secondary Matrix. The machines have to keep humans happy, right? What else would keep the revolutionaries happy than to give them a dismal "reality" to flee to and fight for? That would have also helped to explain how Neo could magically see and destroy machines outside of the Matrix.

There are some pretty good fan edits out there that combine the two films into one entirely watchable sequel. Trim the fat, restructure the story a bit, and suddenly the sequel looks a lot more viable.

Before Bryan Singer came on to direct Superman Returns and cast Brandon Routh, Cavill had been one of the frontrunner choices for Brett Ratner and McG before they left the picture. That Superman was younger, and this time, the intention was to cast an actor near 30. Cavill is 27, so things worked out just right for him.

The picture is produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder, with a script by David S. Goyer, based on story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are exec producers. Cavill's repped by CAA.

I think he could pull off both looks if they switched between both pics. One being Clark and the other being Superman.

I was hoping for Joe Manganiello, but Cavill looks pretty much the same...and also...

yeah Clark Kent should have a beard....i mean that would make the glasses/no glasses thing even more believable.

bout time they announced who'd be superman...the speculation stops!

yeah, the suit looked a little different in the initial shot, all these are taken off people cell phone camera, and they don't have the same type of lighting film will have. My post film impression is that it looks better than Birthday Party Costume Spidey and not quite as good as Raimy Spidey, i did some post effects on some of the images myself and they looked much better. That is a ridiculous blue though. From a distance though, Spiderman looks like Spiderman. Up close that mask looks like crap.

The Chicago Code - Mondays 9pm FOX

From the Creator of The Shield - Shawn Ryan
A cop show where the audience rides along with the cops and the enemy is clearly known.
It sounds like it's going to focus on all aspects of the city with lots of character development much like The Wire but provide much more action just like The Shield.

Could be the best of the two best cop shows (The Shield & The Wire) combined by the creator of one of those 2 shows.

Looks like some one has been playing too much Medal of Honor lately.

Anybody know anything about that new movie starring Liam Neeson called Unknown? It feels like Taken Part 1.5, I love my Taken and those French action films. Good initial vibe, but more I look into it, less good it feels.

Taken 1.5.... this time it was his whole existence that was taken.


But I think it seems kinda interesting. I've only seen the trailers so I can't really tell you anymore about it other than what you probably already know.

Post by: oohhboy on February 04, 2011, 02:45:46 PM
Actually on a related note, Liam signed on sometime last year to make Taken 2 so Unknown is somewhat redundant. Unknown feels a little Wannbe in a lot of ways. Liam is going to be good, but I don't like whats surrounding him.

During the Super Bowl they showed a small trailer for Thor, and I disliked it just as much as I disliked the Green Lantern trailer. To be honest, no matter what the reviews I will watch both movies, but to me both movies share the same problem; the hero is too unrealistic to be done with real people.

A little strange, but let me try again with more words. With characters like Superman, the Hulk, and the X-Men, each character's power comes from themselves, and for the most part are  very singular. Even though Superman has a bunch of powers, each does one thing. With Thor and GL, they have objects that also have powers, and that doesn't carry over well. I'm getting lost in my own thoughts here, so my point, and question, is why don't movies, especially movies for these kinds of characters, go the Beowulf route, with near photorealistic CGI all the way through? The art style can be more authentically represented, and the CGI moments won't look like CGI moments, because the whole movie will be done that way. Just my two cents.

Oh, and two more cents, I liked Taken a lot, but I thought there was an opportunity for a sequel in that he didn't take down the entire syndicate or whatever you want to call it. I can see the sequel starting off with Liam waking from a nightmare in which he remembers the other girls he saw en route to rescuing his daughter, and then from information his daughter gives him, finds and kills the rest of the scumbags.

Just fyi, child prostitution/trafficking/slavery is still a massive problem, even in "civilized" countries like these United States.

I don't know if the movie will be good, but I love that they did that with the web shooters. I hated that the previous trilogy had Parker naturally produce the webbing. If the new movie is more like the 90s Fox cartoon (which I still think is the best version of the character), then I may like it.

May I present to you the insanity that is tactical Bunny action that is Cat **** One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMlmEFIxdb4). The first episode is free to view. It is the most AWWW so cute package of well animated violence ever created. Through all the 22 minutes of violence I couldn't get past how adorable it all is. There are more episodes being made or something, but it's all abit in the air.

Unfortunately, as amazing as it is, the DVD/Bluray the one episode and weights in at $29.95 which price wise is only a step or two away from being degenerate matter. That said, it certinly something to look forward to if they ever finish and release a full season.

Yeah, good luck to them trying to get people to pay nearly $30 for one episode, they must have been high when they decided that because it doesn't matter how good the show is if they charge that much. It looks nice though.

A new movie I suggest people check it out is Rosedale.  It's low budget direct-to-DVD horror/action movie about a cult trying to sacrifice a victim to summon a demon.  The victim's only hope is Victor Whiskey, a gun toting badass who specializes in the occult.
 
One the key reasons I have an interest in this film is that I'm in it!  I play the leader of the cult.  The film was written and directed by my brother.

Starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Nathan Fillion, Kevin Bacon and more
it's like the lower budget version of Kick Ass only not quite the same

and I know what you're thinking after watching that trailer....
a little less than sold so maybe you'll see it when it airs on the IFC, so here is a 2 minute clip from the movie that might change your mind.

I'm looking forward to Game of Thrones, as well as The Borgias on Showtime, which comes out April 3, and Camelot on Starz which debuts April 1.

I've mostly grown tired of what's on 'regular' T.V. With few exception (Fringe) it's all recycled stroylines and plebian drama. The shows on premium T.V (I'm also looking forward to the return of Nurse Jackie, and The United States of Tara) push the envelope with new ideas and relatable drama. Anyway, that's my two cents.

Did you happen to see Pillars of the Earth based on Ken Follet's novel of the same name on Starz? That stuck close to the book, but felt rushed and different.

Then there's True Blood on HBO, which stuck close to the first Sookie Stackhouse book for the first season, swayed away in the second, and only used the book as a base in the third season.

I say all that to say that I haven't read the books Game of Thrones is based on, and I'm glad I haven't. I'm so intrigued by the show that I want to, but I find reading the books after seeing the movie or show is better than the opposite.

Netflix just knocked things up a notch. They're moving into original programming. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/it-begins-netflix-branches-out-into-original-progr,53217/?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=feeds&utm_source=avclub_rss_daily)

Quote
First they came for your brick-and-mortar Blockbusters, then they gunned for your pay cablers, and now they’re making a bid to become their very own network: Netflix has just made a surprising move into original programming by outbidding the likes of HBO and AMC for the rights to House Of Cards, David Fincher’s adaptation of the British book and miniseries of the same name. Acquiring the drama (which, as previously reported, stars Kevin Spacey as a ruthless politician) reportedly cost Netflix an estimated $100 million up front and a commitment to two seasons at 26-episodes—the sort of deal no one’s ever had the guts to make before. Obviously it’s an expensive gamble, but more importantly, it’s one that could herald the tectonic shift from traditional TV networks toward an Internet-based, streaming future should it prove successful. Next up: Netflix handles your dreams.

They'd rather charge everyone even more (and profit even more when you pay the overage fees) than upgrade their networks. It's the same reason why rural areas don't have any access at all, or cities don't have competing providers. It's all about giving you the least they can, while charging whatever they want. Today's "bandwidth hogs" are tomorrow's typical users.

I used to have two-way satellite internet (the only option for a very long time). It was always capped, so I've grown accustomed to watching my usage. It's not hard to download 20GB a day. When you have several computers in the house and you're all streaming Netflix, watching HD YouTube and Hulu, playing online video games through your consoles, etc.

The only hope we have here is that the country's new money will oppose the old money. You'll see companies like Google and NetFlix (who depend upon fast, available broadband) stepping up their political games against the entrenched telecom dinosaurs.

haha well good, most high speed internet providers use dodgy tactics like using Mbps, rather than MBps to confuse consumers. I would have done the math, but i just didnt feel like it. Doing the math now that i dont have to convert bytes to bits and that bullshit. Only 6 days of continual use would get you a terabyte when your paying for the month. When I hear that im getting 1.7 megabytes a second I expect to get 4,112,640 megabytes a month..a little over 4 terabytes a month

Yeah, I feel no sympathy for you when you admit that you reached 1 TB by doing illegal activities. It's hard to see anybody getting that high only through legal means (it's possible, but you would have to be doing stuff like streaming 12 hours a day, downloading tons of stuff, etc.). The Obama administration is trying to get Internet providers to expand broadband to more areas. I can't imagine using satellite Internet because it's so slow and expensive. Even though I don't do stuff like Unagi, I do oppose caps or throttling of the Internet in any form. I don't want to have some sites load slower, or worry about how much Netflix streaming I can watch.

idk if your watching an hd streaming service then youd get about the same bandwidth use if you were downloading movies. Say I pay for Hulu HD and I want to watch all of Lost in HD, and maybe a couple of other shows. In 12 days assuming i slept I would use a terabyte of bandwidth that month. If I repeated I would be able to use 2.33 terabytes in a 28 day month.

Facebook & Google especially need to step up their political influences.
Those are 2 relatively new companies that rake in money by the boatload and should definitely start throwing it around to gain influence and favors. Of course that when they start to become exactly what they never wanted to be but at the moment we need them to be.

Google does already have Gov. contracts for Locational data stuff, not to mention all the "anonymous" search data & archived internet and then Facebook has personal information on the entire countries voting constituents and government officials.

But anyway, we are getting way off topic now.

Word has it that Fox is rebooting Daredevil with a story that continues after the last one (yes I know how that sounds)in an attempt to keep the franchise from reverting back to Marvel.

Disney must have enough money to block this from happening in some way. If the next Xmen movie fails, then there should be a "do no harm" clause in the contracts where you can't continually ruin a franchise just to maintain control over it. Same goes fro Spiderman. Either do it right with respect for the original property or give it back.

I don't really care if it's illegal or not. As an artist myself, I feel people create entertainment to entertain and to share a creative part of themselves, not to make money. As soon as you make something for the sole purpose of making money, it ceases to become art. That is why I have no qualms with downloading music, movies, or games, because I know the artists, directors, and programmers wanted to share their creative spirit with the world; their ideas with whomever cares to appreciate them. If I can't afford it, I download it. If I can afford, I still download it, but regardless, I sing it's praises (hence, the "Rate the last ___" threads) and I feel that is a payment in and of itself.

That's just me though.

IDK im back to being interested in Spider-man. Marc Web is too good of a director, and Andrew Garfield is too good of an actor for this to not turn out decent. I heard rumors months back of them taking liberties and moving Daredevil to the UK and having Jason Statham play him, which sounds awesome to me, though I think they're just rumors.

If that was true, the damn SAG and WGA wouldn't be striking or threatening to strike every time their deals expire and they demand more and more money. With the big studios, it's about making money. While I am sure many want the works to be good, they create them with the intention of making money. They don't want people stealing their work since it is a business. Would you still be willing to go to your job if your boss decided to stop paying you for it? They create art, consumers pay for it. That is capitalism, and none of the people who create the art would agree with you at all and they would probably hate you for it because you are stealing from them.

I find it funny that Universal Pictures is claiming they are rebooting the Doom franchise too. How can you reboot a film "franchise" when it only has 1 movie?

Here's a perfect example that you have no idea what you're talking about. A few years back, Radiohead released an album called "In Rainbows". They "...like the people at our record company, but the time is at hand when you have to ask why anyone needs one. And, yes, it probably would give us some perverse pleasure to say '**** you' to this decaying business model."

So what did they do? They released the album online and asked people to name their own price. And it "... worked on many levels, including financially."

So yeah...This

And "Would you still be willing to go to your job if your boss decided to stop paying you for it?" Depends on what my job is. If I'm picking up horse **** twice a day then I'd be pissed. If I'm testing roller coasters, then I would wonder why I had been paid at all.

Radiohead was an exception, not the rule.

As for your second one, your argument is full of it. It doesn't matter how much fun your job is, fun doesn't pay the bills. What happens when you need to buy food, or gas, or rent, or any other expense? Justify it however you want, but your actions are what is wrong with so many people now. I can't condone you stealing from people who actually put in the effort to create the art.

I'm not going argue with you that money is in fact needed to do most anything and enjoy a lot, but the fact you are forgetting is that people who make art, make it to be enjoyed first -- making money is always second.

Radiohead was an exception, not the rule.

It's been working just great for Nine Inch Nails' last three albums as well. The difference is that NIN didn't let customers name their own price. Trent Reznor gave everything away for free to download, with the option to purchase a physical copy. Not only was it given away for free, but NIN has made their music open. They've licensed it under the Creative Commons and actually encourage fans to create remixes with the provided multitracks.

Real artists create because they have to, not because they want to. They don't do it to get rich. Anyone that says otherwise is selling something.

Your syntax is wrong. Giving it away for free and letting people enjoy it for free, are completely different things.

I don't know of any painter, who truly loves their craft, who would just give their paintings away for free or for any amount of money for that matter. But I'm sure they'd love for you to appreciate its subtleties up close.

I've been drawing a lot of portraits lately, mainly for friends. To some extant its in hopes that people will see my body of work and I can start charging strangers to have me draw their portrait. However, it feels great to be appreciated. I showed one friend his portrait and he was elated, and he got kinda giddy. He was like "we need to make a copy", I say "funny you should mention that", pull out his copy, then he's like "this needs to be framed" I showed another friend the next day and she was like "you're crazy!".......looks around trying to recover from utter meaness, "um but in a good way..." The other thing is I hate giving away original work, its kinda screwed up to give someone a photocopy though(depending on the quality of the photocopy), I would rather draw a whole other picture than give away an original.


also, keep in mind in 40 years when we all have robot slaves doing our menial work, the only real thing you can do is work on art, or keep yourself entertained.

There's nothing wrong in being commissioned to make art. That's just how the world works. But like I said, if we lived in a perfect world, artists wouldn't have to rely on such commissions and instead take that time to hone their craft. Luckily, both can still happen in this world. Take Leonardo Da Vinci, for example. Still, the problem with that is it festers and becomes something akin to the music industry now, where the sole purpose of making music isn't to make music, but to sell music.

In my view, the subclass of amateur musicians who make music with no expectation of major financial success is larger than ever, given the ubiquity of powerful and fairly cheap music technology. The internet is chock full of musicians who care only about the craft. I think that's awesome, but I also think it's not morally superior or inferior to trying to sell your music. The only thing that I consider "immoral", in an artistic sense, is deliberately changing your music in order to make it sell better. Which obviously happens a lot, but there is boatloads of music that isn't doing that.

Post by: Ian Sane on March 16, 2011, 05:26:22 PM
I'm a film maker and a song writer.  I can honestly say that I've so far done it for the love of it because I have made essentially no money whatsoever in either endeavour.  But the thing is art costs money to make.  The instruments, the amps, the camera, the computer used to edit the films and record the music - all of that stuff is expensive.  Time is also valuable.  I have to squeeze my artistic pursuits into my free time.

I have to work a full-time job to pay the bills, pay the mortgage, and buy food.  In order to be an artist full time I would have to be able to make a living on it.  It's just the simple logistics of it.  I can do it for free but then I can't do it full time.  It's one or the other.  Right now it remains a hobby because that's the only way I can make it work.

That's why something like Radiohead's example is ridiculous.  Radiohead were already successful wealthy artists prior to releasing In Rainbows.  It's very easy for independently wealthy people to afford to give away something like that for free.  When Radiohead was starting out there is no way they could have been able to afford the studio time, equipment, manufacturing, distribution, and their own personal time spent working on it.  For a regular average person this just is not a possibility.
 
You're only a sellout if you're making art that you have to passion for at all.  To me that's doesn't mean making a slight change for commercial purposes.  Compromises are part of life.  What that means is that you don't care for it at all in any way.  You can make something to sell while still finding joy in creating it.  When the joy isn't there, then you might as well be on an assembly line.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 16, 2011, 06:00:26 PM
You produce art because you love to do it. You make money from that art because other people enjoy it too.

A Painter paints because they have a vision or feeling they need to express.
They then sell that art because someone else is willing to pay for it. It doesn't necessarily mean they created that art with the sole intention of selling it to the highest bidder. Alot of that happens after the artist is no longer able to see any profits (dead).

A real musician would create music off of an inspiration and feeling or a message that they want to share. They produce that music straight from their heart. They want that music to be enjoyed by as many as possible. If they could give it away and perform it for free, they would, but it ain't cheap to set up a concert or press and distribute 8trac/Vinyl/tapes/cd's etc. and a business was born.
Now making music is business first for most of the stuff you hear and that is the problem with todays music, it's not born from  heart solely for the love of music, it was written and processed by someone hired to study todays trends and crank out something that will appeal to the masses and make all involved a ton of money.
By musicians giving it out for free over the internet, where there is no overhead for packaging and distribution, and letting you decide what it is worth to you, then they are taking all the hands out of their pockets that turned music away from being an art form into a cold cash business.

I hope tha tall makes sense because I didn't really proof read or anything

I'm just going to take the time to lay my position out flat, in simple terms, for all to understand.

Why do I not feel as if enjoying copyrighted material for free is morally wrong? That is the question that basically started this fueled debate. I don't think it's morally wrong or right. I feel like it is inevitable and that all art will one day be easy to access, free, and for all to enjoy, from the poorest of people to the wealthiest. Why do I think it is inevitable? Because of what art is. It is inherently worthwhile, no matter how terrible or wonderful. It is an expression, as significant as a heralded speech, but as common as this post. It sets us free little by little depicting views and opinions, life, the real, the imaginary, the very fabric of who we are, and as a race, what we have become. Stifling such a influential part of our world by labeling it with procedures, restricting it's viewers, and ultimately taking the very essence of what made it pure all in the name of money will have a drastic effect on the art and on our overall wellbeing.

I understand we are not there yet and acting like we are is seen as immoral. But so be it.

For a regular average person this just is not a possibility.

I wish there was an article to back me up, but my intuition tells me that the cost to release your own album has plummeted and is soon to be negligible.

Well you should; music especially. To sell something is inherent of trying to get a return on investment. That's business and there should be none of that as far as art is concerned. Instead, I think artists who are looking for something in return, should go about it as if they are trading their music. Let the user browse their music, listen to it, and then if they want to own it, allow them a means to purchase it. And that's what most subclass artists do.

But the fact is, I was talking about paintings; something you can't readily make a copy of. Selling the original is a definitely morally inferior.

Well that is true and my band is recording our debut album right now at my house.  But as I mentioned, time it a major factor.  We're squeezing this in on weekends and we pretty much have to shut off our social lives for the time being to get it done.  If any of us were married or had kids it probably just couldn't do it.  My brother would like to make another film but three members of his cast had kids shortly after wrapping up filming.  So now his "free" actors are not available and he would have to pay to get strangers to work with him.

If you are willing to make yourself look retarded with the intelligence of a little kid (i.e. double rainbow guy), it's quite easy. Most of the famous people on YouTube (the majority of which I think are stupid and not funny) get that way for making themselves look like idiots.

Darren Aronofsky has announced that he will no longer be directing The Wolverine. He said the reason is that the schedule would have kept him out of the country for almost a year and he did not want to be away from his family for that long. He said he loved the script and was looking forward to working with Hugh Jackman.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief, as NBC has renewed Community and Parks and Recreation for next season. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/nbc-renews-community-parks-and-recreation-and-the,53324/?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=feeds&utm_source=avclub_rss_daily) The best comedies on television get another chance to attract an audience that's been too ignorant to find them so far.

Post by: TJ Spyke on March 17, 2011, 08:03:17 PM
Meh, I never got into Community and I hate Parks and Recreation. Good for the fans of those shows though. I think we all know that Community probably only keeps getting renewed because NBC doesn't have great ratings in general anymore. The show's ratings are not that good, and if the show was on CBS or FOX it probably would have got canceled already. It's the same way that CBS will cancel a show that gets 10 million viewers, while The CW's best show only gets like 4 million viewers (so they would kill to have one of their shows get 10 million viewers). It's a good example of what channel a show airs on having an effect on whether it gets renewed or not.

Hooray for renewed Parks & Rec!  It seems that these days if I like a TV comedy there is always the fear of cancellation hanging in the background.  It is like mainstream TV tastes are so far removed from my tastes that if I like something I can almost assume that hardly anyone else is watching it.  It didn't used to be that way as I was never worried about Seinfeld or The Simpsons being canned and those shows are still funny to me.

I no longer fear The Office being cancelled but that show is just not as good anymore.  It's like when a show is truly funny, no one watches it, but if it finds an audience it becomes cliche and generic.  It's probably the networks coming to the conclusion that now that the audience is there the jokes have to be broader to keep that audience and they'll point to the earlier funnier seasons as "proof".  "See, when the show had clever gags no one was watching but as we've dumbed it down the ratings get better and better!"  Of course the real reason is probably that word of mouth over several seasons allows a show to build an audience.

I'll blame reality shows.  They are the ideal scapegoat for all of TV's problems.

I watch plenty of network shows, including: Glee, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad!, The Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers, The Big Bang Theory, Hell's Kitchen, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, sometimes NCIS. I also watch a lot of shows that used to be network shows before being canceled. NBC has canceled a lot of great shows that were good (one of my favorites being My Name is Earl, which ended on a cliffhanger).

Kevin Costner has signed on to play Jonathan Kent (Superman's adopted human father) in the new Zack Snyder Superman movie.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Ian Sane on March 18, 2011, 05:51:17 PM
Costner seems too young to me to play that role.  In the original film the Kents were already pretty old when they found Superman.  His father's death of heart attack is a pretty key scene.  Costner is younger than my dad so for his age to work he would have found Superman when he was under 40.  That just doesn't fit to me.  The Kents seem like they should be past child bearing age and thus adopt Superman as their only son.  Costner would actually fit better as Jor-El.

Though I'm not very familiar with the details of the comic so maybe this is more accurate?

I'm not sure why I'm bothering to open this can of disagreement, but I'm very glad to hear that not only is there an X4, but that it follows the events of X3.

Like every X-Men fan out there, it was hard for me to accept the deaths of some of the X-Men, but X4 and 5, could possibly be the vindication of those deaths. I've always been of the opinion that a movie or T.V show can alter its source material as long as it doesn't damage the over-arching story (though it's still a little tough for me to watch True Blood despite the fact that it meets those requirements) so I'm interested to see what the X-Men universe looks like without Cyclops. Jean and Xavier might come back (Xavier for sure) and there could be some interesting storylines yet to get from this particular iteration of the XMen universe.

I don't mind there being an X4. After the blow out the series took with X3 along with the evolution of the comic-to-film genre these last few years I think it could turn out very well. Plus I'm kinda getting tired of studios jumping the gun with reboots (Hulk, Spiderman...) One little hiccup in the series should not force a reboot and I feel these constant 'remakes' are allowing hollywood to cop out int he creative department and recycle the same crap to us over and over.

As for X5...I'll wait and see how X4 turns out before giving that a second glance.

My only hope is that Nightcrawler makes a return.

I really really wish Disney would renegotiate those contracts Marvel handed out so that there has to be a legitimate sequel with major theater release over certain periods of time (no more than 3 years between releases) and all stories must be continuous (in other words: No Reboots)

This will force the studios to either build a popular and successful franchise with the Marvel properties or give them back so that value of the property doesn't get run into the ground and damaged beyond repair.

I know it might be too expensive to outright buy the rights back, but they have to be able to atleast re-negotiate since Marvel is now a Disney studio.... you think that might have some sort of influence over the term & conditions of previous contracts.

I think there should be reboots allowed, what about like Ultimate Spider-man, or the X-Men in Cable's universe, or an alternate take on the Avengers. I think the movies should be like the comics with confusing alternate storylines and multiple origin and death stories.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 30, 2011, 11:30:04 AM
Reboots are fine when the property has been re-licensed, but for a single studio to license and then run a series into the ground, reboot it and then run it into the ground again and then reboot it again only to run it into the ground again is damaging to the license and they should just give it back to the owner if they have no meaningful ideas on films they want to do with the property and/or don't have the time and money to devote to making it good.

Marvel has to protect it's properties and X3, Wolverine, Spider3 and GhostRider where not doing it any favors. They can't even have any cross overs at this point thanks to the greedy milking of their top franchises at this point. and I'm talking about how they wanted Spiderman for The Avengers movie or how they can't make a Wolverine vs The Hulk.

I think part of the problem is that the pants don't fit tight enough. It should be like a second skin on her.

The other problem is that it should be some hot shorts. Show off those legs.

Also why are her wrist shields silver if everything else is gold? She is a woman and would accessorize better than that.

That is also a bad pic with her having a horrible look on her face in the middle of a half-ass run. Wonder Woman never half-asses anything and she always look beautiful while doing it.

MTV's Teen Wolf

p.s. Has nothing to do with the Teen Wolf we all fondly remember from the 80's
But I honestly don't think it looks that bad ::ducks rocks being thrown::

It kinda looks like the Werewolf version of The Vampire Diaries, which is fine because everyone else jumped on the Vampire train already, so somebody has go to cover the other side of Twilight and support team Jacob right?

Just to clarify (not that I really feel the need to defend myself, but whatever) I don't watch The Vampire Diaries, I just know that it is The CW's highest rated primetime show. I also don't watch MTV and HATE the Twilight movies (my sister is a huge fan though with her team Edward doll and twilight poster on the wall).

But regarding the TV show trailer, it didn't look b-movie bad and likely fits in perfectly with the demo they are aiming for; Twilight fans that were pro-wolf as everyone else has been on a Vampire high (True Blood, Being Human, countless vamp movies and other vamp TV shows all springing up over the last 5-6 years) as hardly anyone has covered werewolves* which I'm sure there are now plenty of tween fans of.

It's obviously an angsty Teen drama that is more Vampire Diaries than 80's Teen Wolf updated for 2011, but just looking at it for what it is, it doesn't look that bad. It could look alot worse, like a SyFy or Hallmark channel movie.

*the two shows I listed actually do cover werewolves, but True Blood is a vampire show. Being Human covers Vamps, Weres and Ghost.


edit: I thought I should point out that I didn't post that video here because I thought we should all tune in for MTV's Teen Wolf, just thought we should all be aware that MTV is reviving the Teen Wolf name with something that is actually more The Werewolf Diaries than a 2011 Teen Wolf made for TV.

So I'm watching CNN last night and one of the blurbs on the bottom of the screens says that Phil Collins daughter has been cast to play Snow White. So this morning I go on CNN.com to check it out, and they mention that the movie is coming out in June of 2012, and that there is another Snow White movie, with an entirely different cast coming out December of 2012 WTF? :confused; ?

I've mentioned before that I don't mind reboots and remakes, but two separate movies of the same story being made in the same year? That seems a little extreme.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735898/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735898/)
That one is Snow White and the Huntsman starring Kristen Stewart as Snow and Charlize Theron as the evil queen.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1667353/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1667353/)
This one is The Brothers Grimm: Snow White starring Lilly Collins as Snow and Julia Roberts as the evil queen.

Right off the bat I'm more interested in the 'Brothers Grimm' version as their stories are much more adult (Nintendo adult, not God of War adult) than the Disney adaptations, and while I am a fan of Charlize Theron, Julia Roberts is that chick, and I'm not much for Kristen Stewart.

I'm asking because it's streaming on Netflix and want to know if It's something everyone can watch or not.

ummm...not sure. I watched it in german, and its kinda out there. Theres one racist joke, which is less racist in the english dub and in the subtitles. Its the type of movie where when the evil queen asks the mirror what he thinks of snow white he pretty much says if he was out of the mirror he would try to bang her.

I was gonna post that the other day, but I got distracted while looking for a things we should avoid thread.

It's supposed to start with a cartoon that eventually leads to a movie and Arnold is voicing himself.
It sounds horrible on all accounts. I also meant to post it in the T.V thread.

Falling Skies:
http://www.tnt.tv/series/fallingskies/about/?contentId=73986 (http://www.tnt.tv/series/fallingskies/about/?contentId=73986)

A new Sci-Fi show with some heavy names behind it!

Quote
FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.

At the center of the series is Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), a Boston history professor whose family has been torn apart. His wife was killed in the initial attack, and one of his three sons has been captured. Determined to get his son back and to ensure the safety of his other two sons, Tom must put his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as one of the leaders of the resistance movement known as the 2nd Mass, because of their location in Boston, Mass. They are constantly trying to gain intelligence about the aliens in order to one day outsmart and overtake them and hopefully rebuild their lives.

Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) co-stars as Anne Glass, a pediatrician who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic upheaval in their lives. Will Patton (Armageddon, TNT's Into the West) plays a fierce leader of the resistance, Weaver. The series also stars Drew Roy (Secretariat) as Hal, Tom's oldest son and a growing fighter in the resistance movement; Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Matt, Tom's youngest son; Connor Jessup (The Saddle Club) as Ben, Tom's son who was captured by aliens; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps Anne in the group's makeshift medical clinic. Colin Cunningham (Living in Your Car) is John Pope, the leader of an outlaw motorcycle gang and Sarah Carter (Shark) is Margaret, a wary survivor of Pope's gang.

FALLING SKIES focuses on the resilience of the survivors and their determination to maintain their humanity when all else has been destroyed. It is a tale of endurance, commitment and courage in which everyday people are called upon to become heroes. They may be outmatched, outnumbered and outgunned, but nothing can beat the human spirit. Most of all, the series is about the ties that bind people together in the most difficult of circumstances.

The aliens in the series are mighty, mysterious and merciless. They are highly intelligent and use military-like tactics, which makes them an overwhelming force against the 2nd Mass. There are two types of aliens that the human survivors have named Skitters and Mechs. Combining live action and special visual effects, the Skitters have spider-like bodies and incredible strength and agility. The deadly, robotic Mechs stand upright and can shoot bullets from their arms. The aliens control captured children, like Tom's son Ben, through bio-mechanical harnesses but have yet to reveal their ultimate plan for them.

FALLING SKIES is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, along with DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, Graham Yost (Justified, The Pacific) and screenwriter Robert Rodat. Rodat, who earned an Oscar® nomination for his screenplay for Saving Private Ryan, wrote the pilot from an idea he co-conceived with Spielberg. Mark Verheiden (Heroes, Battlestar Galactica) and Greg Beeman (Heroes, Smallville) are co-executive producers. The pilot was directed by Carl Franklin (One False Move, Out of Time).

The Immortals (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1253864/)
Release Date: 11/11/11/
Rated R
Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VdONYkKFmQ)

Quote
Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king's hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man's conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion...until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes...

I've been meaning to see the Director's past film "The Fall" for the cinematography alone. Has anyone else seen it?

Yes, I'm one of the unique few that enjoyed Transformers 2 immensely.  I just went to see giant robots beating each other up and that is exactly what I got. That forest fight was awe-inspiring. 
That is also the only reason I intend to see number 3.

I'm going to see 3 eventually, but I'm not paying for it - that's for damn sure.

While that forest scene was pretty awesome, that rest of it film felt like I was being laughed at. Like Steven Spielberg somewhere was laughing at me while trading quips with illustrious Hollywood execs about 'shoveling **** into my eyes' and 'fucking my wallet'.

Never again.

That looks unreal. I don't like the visual style, but it looks promising otherwise. If Captain Haddock doesn't swear up a proper storm and if they remove the casual racism found in that era, I am going to be disappointed. It's part of that era and it's a reminder of where we came from. Besides, some of that **** was funny.

Sometimes it's accurate.

How 'bout that Terra Nova show? Also could be called "Avatar 66MYA" because it's the same guy playing the general. I've only seen two dinosaurs in the trailers: Brachiosaurus and Carnotaurus. Now, the latter is my FAVORITE dinosaur of all time. However, I'm disappointed that they're just pulling dinosaurs from every continent and era. If you're going to land in a specific time, you're going to deal with a very specific faunal makeup, sorry.

The Late Jurassic Morrison formation (where Brachiosaurus lives) would've been great. Where Carnotaurus is from? Not so much. There aren't as many dinosaurs there.

And as my friend Matt Wedel said on his blog, he bets money that there will be "others" encroching on the human settlement, some unknown dino-like humanoid creature, or maybe Sleestacks. The thing that REALLY makes me cringe is that they're actually going to make some of their dinosaurs up: some kind of super-raptor called an "Acceleraptor." God, just use Deinonychus!

CG is basically modern stop motion.

Except CG always looks fake. At least your stop-motion armatures actually exist in some capacity. They reflect and absorb light properly, are limited to a certain ranges of motions, and generally obey the laws of physics. CG on the other never looks quite right, whether it's because it's shiny and plastic looking or is moving in an unnatural manner. No one does CG because it's better, they do it because it's cheaper and easier. If you applied today's techniques to traditional effects, you'd be amazed at just what I movie could be. CG should only be used to touch up and improve upon existing effects, not supplant them entirely.

Post by: Stogi on June 05, 2011, 10:42:23 PM
I agree with this to a point. As I mentioned elsewhere, The Thing SFX were awesome still to this day. I can't say that for many movies (LOTR is the only one I can think of at the moment).

That said, because it is cheaper and easier we have seen way more action-adventure, fantasy and sci-fi movies; genres that I like. So it's a give and take. Most new movies simply couldn't be done without CG. Inception is a perfect example (though I didn't like that movie).

The CG effects on Battlestar Galactica look 1,000 times better than any physical model I've ever seen. I may not be a reliable source for this, having never seen a spaceship in real life, but they look damned realistic to me.

Sure, but there are plenty of VALID species that are known to science already. It would be like making up a new eight-horned ceratopsian when you could use the fifteen-horned ceratopsian they found last year (Kosmoceratops).

Boondocks Season 4 is coming soon
I still haven't watched s3 (It's on my watch list), but this is good news.
http://s2smagazine.com/stories/2011/06/boondocks-returning-season-4 (http://s2smagazine.com/stories/2011/06/boondocks-returning-season-4)
Quote
Despite what you may have heard, John Witherspoon said "The Boondocks" will be returning for a fourth season!

Before season 3 of "The Boondocks" aired on Adult Swim, there were notices that it would be the cartoon's swan song. And with over-the-top episodes like "The Booty Warrior" and "Pause", which lampooned Tyler Perry, it seemed that show creator, Aaron McGruder, was taking no prisoners since he presumably wasn't coming back.

John Witherspoon, who voices Granddad, was under the same impression.

"They was telling me all the time, for the last six months, that it's not coming back," the comedian said in a recent interview with Huntsville's Hot 103.5. "I talked to Aaron McGruder the other day; it's coming back."

And, according to John, the new season will be bigger and better than ever before. "They're going to do 20 shows this time instead of 15," he revealed.

John's excited to get back in the booth to bring Granddad back to life because of the awesome compensation he got in comparison to the amount of work he actually did.

"I wanted to come back," John admitted. "I was missing that money. That money is good. Easy money!"

and in related news, There might be a Friday 4...
Quote
John could also be earning a few stacks from a possible fourth installment in the Friday franchise. How likely is it to happen? Find out below! [video at link above]

They better bring back Smokey or just don't bother.

The thing that REALLY makes me cringe is that they're actually going to make some of their dinosaurs up: some kind of super-raptor called an "Acceleraptor." God, just use Deinonychus!

It's going to be either a massive flop or a huge hit: Stargate Universe was one of the most expensive TV shows on-air at the time at $2 million per episode. To see why see the CGI effects, the primary cast of 10 and the gorgeous set.

Terra Nova is TWICE that in the budget, so Fox will be asking for some stupidly high ratings to justify that spend. Anything less and its a massive flop.

The more I see about Horrible Bosses, the more interested I am. The trailers look good and make it seem really funny (though I know that doesn't really mean anything) and it has an amazing cast: Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis (he's been in some real shitty stuff, but I've seen enough of him on SNL to know he's got talent), Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Aniston. I don't see many movies in theaters, but I'm definitely going to get some friends together to go see this.

Cars is more merchandise friendly, there are so many cars 2 toys (http://hubpages.com/hub/Cars_2_toys). which is probably why we'll see a third iteration sooner or later.  My son loves it.
Pixar seems to be on a cycle of staggering their original releases with sequels.  After Brave, I believe that thI think a sequel to Monsters Inc is in the works as well...it's going to be called Monsters University.  Their other announced original project, Newt, was shelved because of similarities to Rio.

It doesn't take much for that especially when the awesome Kung Fu Panda 2 came out around the same time.

Pixar seems to have lost something recently.  I think it's a comibination of Dreamworks picking up their game with Panda and How to Train your Dragon and Pixar's sudden decision to make a bunch of sequels.  They apparently already have a prequel/sequel in the works for Monsters Inc. which I just think is a bad idea and Monsters is my favorite Pixar movie.

Brave looks great though.

I read that Cars made the most money for Pixar thanks to merchandise.  I don't really see why since Cars toys technically should have tons of competition because they're just, well.. cars.  There should be tons of other car toys out there unless Hot Wheels went bankrupt. There should also be Transformer toys out the ass since there was even a cartoon before the admittedly not as kid friendly movies.  When I was kid if you gave me a car with eyes instead of a car that transformed into a robot I would have been very disappointed.

Dreamworks is making a new movie called Me and My Shadow that combines 2d animation and 3d animation.  In the movie someone's shadow breaks the rules to always follow and takes control.  Apparently the real world is all 3d animation while the shadows and the shadow world is all 2d.  It sounds like a great idea.

Toy car collectors are a different beast.  I didn't know how different till I tried my hand at it.  In Hot Wheel alone you have 2 types of cards, Cars could have 3 variety of tires, 2 different paint jobs, Treasure cards, etc...  All of these just sort of randomly alotted so you have to hunt them down.  Their are events for collectors where it is literally winning the rights to root through an unopenned box of Hot Wheels first.  It must be a sealed box to or their will be problems. 

The Cars toys have a distinct style etc. that allows them to command a higher price why still being made the same way cars have been forever.  Its very easy to see how.  My Step-Mother-In-Law got some for my Youngest Brother and she liked them enough that she went on to start collecting them... They have to have over 100 Car Cars now.

They are a multi-billion dollar franchise thanks to toys. they will likely get a Cars 3 also at some point (and before an Incredibles 2).

Supposedly Toy Story 4 is also in the works.

Origin stories are boring enough the first time around. Instead of rebooting every single franchise the moment it has a slip-up, Hollywood should really take responsibility and move forward. Change the actors, change the directors, disregard the established canon, but don't outright restart!

I'm inclined to believe that if Sam Raimi can't make a good Spider-Man film, then no one can. :P

Um, I am pretty sure that was confirmed awhile ago, and it was what was rumored since almost the beginning as well. So I am disappointed that the rumors were true, there was no reason for it other than Sony having no ideas and just making it so they can keep the Spider-Man film franchise.

That's what I liked about The Incredible Hulk - it wasn't a reboot but more of a sequel, even though it wasn't exactly one. More people saw that one than Hulk and they just used the opening credits to give the origin story instead of wasting everyone's time. Spider-Man's origin is a little bit more complicated than Hulk, but still, just about everyone and their brother saw the 2002 Spider-Man film.

Spider-Man's origin story summed up: High school kid gets bit by radioactive spider while on field trip, develops ability to climb on services (whether he naturally creates the webbing or invents it and puts it in web shooters varies), uses the extra strength to become wrestler until he lets a robber go who then kills his grandfather, he decides to become a superhero after that. Obviously you know that, so it is a little more complicated but they could sum it up in like 5 minutes tops.

i thought Spider-Man 2 was incredible, and Spider-man one and 3 were mediocre, although Spider-man one was much better than 3. I suspect it depends on your take of Spider-man. I was actually a big fan of the franchise growing up, unlike other comic book franchises, so i know it pretty well. On the other hand Im pretty aware as a screen writer movies as a medium have to be adapted a certain way otherwise it won't work. I think Raimi did a pretty good job of the series. It could have been 1000 times worse. People are over critical. It takes a lot of work to bring something like Spider-man to the screen and not make it look like a sloppy piece of ****.

I'm actually pretty pleased with the way this new Spider-man looks. It kinda reminds me of the 90s Spider-Man cartoon.

For one, he had no accent. To me, his voice from the Fox show is the voice of him (the same way Mark Hamil will always be THE voice of Joker and Kevin Conroy will always be Batman, any other voice for those two just sound wrong for some reason). I also think they should have adapted him more closely to how he had been on that show.

Post by: ThePerm on July 24, 2011, 04:58:26 PM
Oh, well thats frickin ridiculous. Is this a cartoon? Is this the 1960s? No, it was a movie. Its not even established that Doc. Ock is German other than his name is Otto. In the comics he's from Schenectady, New York. The only instance that I know where Doc Ock has a German accent is the 90s Spiderman tv show. To be honest thats sort of a stupid cartoon thing to do, give everyone thick foreign accents just to help foster the long established Xenophobia. Thats the thing about adaptations, they are just that. The cartoon is in no way cannon. Hank Azaria voiced Eddie Brock in the Tv show, and he would have made a 100 times better Venom than Topher Grace, but wasn't going to happen.

 Hank Azaria also voice Apu and Moe on the Simpsons. Am i going to expect Sony to keep a character really cheesey? If they had had your way
Dr. Octopus would be played by Elton John....dubbed by the voice actor, and wear and orange and green plastic power rangers suit. Instead they made him a realistic character. Apparently Spider-man has the opposite problem as the Schumacher batman movies to the cartoon ratio

Wow, I can't believe how NONE of you are talking about the Legend of Korra trailer. I know we have some Last Airbender fans here, despite the atrocious movie..

Here it is again if you haven't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXriwMQBNSQ

Several things I noticed from watching the trailer:

1. Really modern. They have electricity, huge cities and street lights. It's supposedly been 70 years after the previous events and 16 years after Aang died (that's an awesome statue of him by the way). I can't believe how fast the Avatar world evolved. It's as if the first series took place in late 19th century and this is starting in the middle of the 20th.

2. The show easily has a higher budget than the last series, in animation alone. It's fluid and fast, far more saturated and more detailed than before. It looks like a top quality anime movie, something akin to the Cowboy Bebop Movie. That's amazing considering this is at least a 12 episode mini-series.

3. Other than bending water in the opening scene, Korra only bends fire during the entire trailer. Does she know air or earth?

4. There are people who attack Korra who can bend metal. At first I thought those guys who chase her through the streets and attack her from the roof were using some sort of rope gun or something, but if you look closely, they are metal. So are they cops or enemies? Either way it's great that Toph taught a few people her tricks.

5. The choreography is amazing. True to Airbender fame, the fighting looks awesome. Best of all though, Korra seems to have her own style of fighting. It's far more aggressive than Aang's. She breaks wrists, has little disregard of near-by property, and tries to kick people's heads off.

6. We finally get to see her Animal Companion. Just like Aang had Appa, she has a Polar Bear/ Wolf Mix. I was hoping it would be a giant penguin/ polar bear hybrid, so she could traverse underwater, but whatever, it looks great. I just hope it has as much personality as Appa, who cracked me up on more than one occasion.

7. And lastly, we get to see the main enemy. He looks bad ass. The mask is a great touch. Supposedly, he is the leader of an Anti-Bender revolution. I don't know what that means exactly, but I hope they use the power of Spirit-Bending to rip peoples ability to bend away from them; just as Aang did to Ozai at the climax of the first series. That could be a great plot and also entice a great amount of fear in the Avatar world.

Your thoughts?
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: UltimatePartyBear on July 25, 2011, 07:20:39 PM
1. I wonder if the four nations are still separate.  I was trying to figure out which one that city belongs to, and I think it must be in the Fire Nation.  It's the most likely to have electricity and airships, not to mention coastal cities with big mountains.

2. It looks about on par with the important fight scenes of the original series to me.  It's hard to say what non-action scenes will look like since a trailer is obviously going to focus on action.  That ship near the start was just moving in a nice, cheap, straight line, though.

3. If she's following the proper procedures, she'd have to know earth before fire, right?  Isn't it water, earth, fire, then air?  I'm guessing the story is set during her fire training.  It would explain all the firebending action, and storywise, it would be her most trying time as Avatar, fire being water's opposite and all.  More potential for her to be an underdog that way.

4. I'm not seeing the metal.  If it is, that could be a real world weapon called an urumi.

5. Ayup.  Though I think Aang would have busted up property, too, if he'd had the animation budget for it.

6. I'm surprised it isn't something that can fly.  Two of the Avatars we knew of had flying animals.  A swimmer could have made sense, too.  Maybe an albatross-orca.  ;D  This is a glorified horse, not that there was ever a shortage of such things in Avatar land.

7. Might be cool if under that mask, he's someone we'd recognize.  Or their son, rather, given the time that's passed.

After seeing the awesome episode of Justice League Unlimited that focused on him, I am a fan of Booster Gold.
That is an awesome episode in an awesome series but, My Personal Favorite is the one with the Flash when he's getting a statue.
 
I should watch Avatar but the voice acting and something else of it that I saw turned me off.

Ceric: I think the voice acting is superb; especially for Uncle Iroh and Sokka.

UPB: I just read the Wiki and I suggest you read it too - http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/The_Last_Airbender:_Legend_of_Korra

It tells us a lot like that the city is called United Republic and is a conglomeration of each tribe that Zoku and Aang built. Also, I was right about the metal bending ;).

Btw, I suggest you watch the trailer again at 1/4 speed at 720p (you need to opt for the HTML5 trial by going to youtube.com/html5). It's amazing. But I"d skip to 42 seconds.

Korra will consist of two seasons. Season 1 is 12 episodes, Season 2 is 14.
 
Korra mastered water, earth, and fire prior to the show. She'll be learning airbending from Tenzin, Aang and Katara kid. Tenzin has three kids of his own. He's getting up there in years, probbaly around 50.
 
Aang had three kids, Tenzin being the youngest.
 
And that thing she's riding is a POLAR BEAR dog. I'm going to assume it can swim. Her name is Naga.
 
Any more questions? I just back from the Korra panel and I'm back in Washington.
 There's a five part video on Youtube of the complete panel if you want to watch it.

As a big fan of Avatar I am hyped for this.

I heard them describe the city as something like 1920s Shanghai (think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom).  I wasn't expecting the more modern world at all and I'm not sure how I feel about it.  The pictures are really helping me warm up to the idea though.  I wonder exactly what they mean by it though because Shanghai at the time was a lot different for a regular Chinese person than some white foreigner who was living there.  I assume its some kind of an idealistic version but its hard for me to think of when they say Shanghai at that time.

I'm disappointed that they gave up the name Avatar and the awesome Chinese shield characters that said the name.  I guess they are following the terrible, terrible movie's lead in order not to be confused with James Cameron's Avatar but I still wish they could have kept the original name.  It makes far more sense since the main character is the Avatar and there are apparently multiple airbenders now (Ang's son and his kids).

I really love that they made a new series and had the balls to get rid of the original cast after their story was over.  It always seems like the creators of a show have a great idea like this and then the suits step in and tell them to keep the original characters or screw off.

Did they say anything about Korra's personality Oblivion?  Judging by the element she uses and how she fights it seems like she'll be a lot different from Aang. (I can't watch youtube)
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Oblivion on July 25, 2011, 10:15:40 PM
Actually, I'm fairly certain Tenzin is the only airbender now. Aang's two other kids aren't airbenders. They weren't clear what nationality they are, however. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say one is a waterbender and the other is a non-bender.

And the creators were interviewed last year saying that her personality is in a sense the opposite of Aang's. She's fiery and headstrong. She has a good sense of humor, apparently.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: SixthAngel on July 25, 2011, 10:50:20 PM
I didn't mean Aang's other kids.  I read that Tenzin's kids were airbenders.

Good to hear about Korra being different.  I didn't want an Aang 2 and it will be interesting to see how she deals with what appears to be very different problems.

Sixth: I'm pretty sure they were talking about the music. Track team, the sound track producers, said to expect the music to be as if 1920's jazz was found in Shanghai.

Oblivion: Appartently Tenzin's children are all airbenders.

While I'm happy to see a new Avatar series on TV in the near future (and that trailer was excellent, despite them using music from the 3rd season of the first series), I'm still a little wary of this series.  The original concept was designed for a short miniseries, and for a miniseries the story was fine.  But now it's expanded out into 26 episodes over 2 seasons, and I'm a little concerned there's not enough of a story here to be compelling for that long.  Part of what made the first Avatar series so cool was watching Aang slowly master the elements as the year went on and the comet approached for the final showdown.  But in this series, Korra already knows 3 of the 4 elements, so for all intents and purposes there's really nothing in the show that should even be able to touch her (especially since she knows Earthbending, which seems the most ridiculously powerful of the 4 bending styles judging by Toph).  Where's the drama in a bending battle going to come from?  And I didn't see any sign in the trailer that she had companions that traveled with her that gives the writers personalities to bounce off of her.

This series is coming from a very good pedigree, but I'm a little nervous that the concept they've revealed may be a bit too limited for essentially a 2-year show.  And yeah, this show should proudly bear the "Avatar" title like its predecessor.  The TV series had the name first, and it's not Nickelodeon's problem that James Cameron decided to remake Dances with Wolves with Smurfs and take the Avatar name as well.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Oblivion on July 26, 2011, 10:28:21 AM
There's at least going to be Mako and Bolin. They're brothers who can bend fire and earth, respectively. And last year it was said that Meelo, Tenzin's son, will be joining them too.

And the story they had from the beginning is still there. The show was originally 12 episodes, which is considered "season 1". I read/heard somewhere that we'll get two different stories for each season, and that they should be viewed as two different mini-series about Korra, each with their own villian.

So we'll see how this all turns out later. I mean, seeing as this won't be out til the end of 2012, we have no idea how the final product will turn out. Production of the first season started back in March so yeah.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stogi on July 26, 2011, 01:38:49 PM
She will also interact with Toph's daughter, who is the Chief of a specialized Metal-Bending unit in the Police force.

The show is suppose to start with her trying to learn Air-Bending from Tenzin, Aang and Katara's young son. So we'll see how that turns out. There is also a possibility that she does not know the finer details of the bending orders. She probably doesn't know how to produce lightning, blood-bend, or metal-bend. She damn sure doesn't know how to fly or glide like Aang.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Oblivion on July 26, 2011, 02:18:51 PM
Perhaps she will once she gets better at airbending. I mean, Aang already mastered airbending before the first show even started.

The animation wasn't 100% bad, but it was just cheaply made. On the other hand the art style was awesome. Theres a fine line between having good animation and having good art, very rarely do things have both. I just am sometimes put off by sliding still frames on scrolling backgrounds, where only the mouth moves. It is a pilot so the animation could improve.

Improv-a-Ganza not renewed? That's lame. I started watching it a few days ago and it's generally pretty humorous. It's essentially just a tweaked version of the American Whose Line Is It Anyway. I don't think it's overall better, but it's enjoyable if you're already a fan of the previous show. I'm glad that Greg Proops and Jeff Davis are getting so much air time on it as well, since they were both favorites of mine on Whose Line... I can't help but not like that John Mangum guy very much though. It seems like his slot could have been better server by others.

Technically it wasn't canceled (basically it was), GSN just won't be ordering new episodes. Networks do this so they don't lose the rights to a show. I don't get GSN, so I couldn't watch it, but the show apparently wasn't getting great ratings.

The problem with the show is that it was on GSN to begin with.  Seriously, I only randomly found out about it a week ago.  Who the heck watches GSN regularly that isn't a blue-haired old lady anyway?

I used to watch Game Show Network all the time. Back when it launched, it was great. The problem was that they started focusing more and more on original programming and they've stopped replaying most of the classic game shows they started with.

I guess it's because I was watching a lot of older shows at the time as well. From MASH to I Dream of Jeannie or the Andy Griffith show. The funny thing was watching these older shows, I then recognized most of the celebrities on them. It all tied together so well.  Heck, I'm a huge fan of older movies and watch way more movies made before say 1975 then I do of movies made after. Cinema today. Ugh.

The fall of the GSN is disappointing. That was a channel I could put on anytime of the day and I had no problem watching it. I loved the old 1950's/1960's panel/discussion game shows like To Tell the Truth or I've Got a Secret. It's funny how the revival's/reboots of those shows can never live up to the original productions. You don't think it would be that hard to recreate a show like that but they just don't work. I also saw the episode of To Tell The Truth with Frank Abernagle Jr of the bio-pic Catch Me If You Can. This was a year or two after that movie so it was this awesome find to just tune in and catch that episode. Catch Me If You Can even starts out with this To Tell The Truth appearance. And if you're interested, Frank was able to walk away with the full prize as the whole panel were unable to correctly identify him.

But the one program I watched everyday was Match Game. They still play it early morning because I think it was a pretty big draw for the network. That show was hilarious. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend you start watching it. The 74-77 years were probably the best but you can still get a lot of fun out of the other seasons.

Yes sir, the GSN was a big part of my High School years. Which is why it's current stat is such a tragedy. I have a feeling that it will probably just up and disappear soon. They need to start paying for the rights and bringing back the Mark Goodson production games shows. Those are the best. The Price is Right. Password. Family Feud. I know they still make it but there's something special to the old Richard Dawson hosted Feud.

The other thing they should acquire the rights for is The Gong Show. Every once in awhile, they would suddenly spring a few episodes of it on the air. Do a special marathon one day and then never show them again for months. They only seemed to have a certain few because they would replay them but they were worth watching every time.

Anyways, this is supposed to be about new shows but thinking about the GSN always gets me talking on my favorite genre of T.V. The Game Show.

The first episode, he said, could focus on Buster Bluth, the deeply neurotic brother played by Tony Hale. “The latest joke we have,” Mr. Hurwitz said, “is that it’s Cambridge, Massachusetts, and there’s all these scientists in lab coats and they’re waiting for somebody. Buster comes through the door in a white lab coat – ‘Let’s begin’ – and they say, ‘Oh, no, you don’t get to wear the lab coat. We’re experimenting on you.’”

I am against having Tony Jaa in any movie. He had a really good first movie, but he just doesn't cut it. The man has no acting ability. He makes Keanu look like Oscar gold. Jackie Chan can actually act and speak more lines than "WHERE IS MY ELEPHANT". Jackie is positively Shakespearean compare to him.

Jet Li was something of a missed opportunity, but I rather enjoyed the comedy coming from him. What was criminally wrong about the Expendables was the shitastic camera work and ADHD editing. When will filmmakers learn that quake cam and quick cuts are no substitute for good basic movie making.

Chow Yuen Fat would make a good addition if they give him a lot of guns and have give speak only in Cantonese. His english is worse than Jet Li. Liam Neeson would qualify at this point if he wasn't doing **** like Battleship.

Stuff like the jailbait section (where people post things like kids in bikinis, you could probably Googlw it and find more info). When news organizations asked why they allowed it, they gave a BS argument about the first amendment not allowing them (which is false, they have the right to remove any content on their site they want).

Post by: NWR_insanolord on November 02, 2011, 03:48:01 AM

reddit is just a place where people post links and people vote on links, its all user created content. Unfortunately, the problem with user created content is creep created content.

They brought the section back after about a week (and they only took it down after someone posted an actual nude photo). And I think there is a difference between censorship and taste. I don't think too many people would be mad at Reddit for removing a picture of a 12 year old girl who is half nude.

Taste is subjective. Using your own idea of it to stop people from posting things that aren't illegal is censorship. They erred on the side of freedom. Defending the indefensible, and the like.

They wouldn't be breaking the law by taking down the pictures. A lot of things are subjective. For example, even the law basically says that what is considered porn is subjective.

They would be completely within their rights to take them down, but that doesn't make it any less censorship. They stood up for freedom of speech as an ideal, not just to the letter of the law.

you know I took a German class entirely on German Fairy tales, we ended up watching lots of old east German films. The East German Red Riding hood is hilarious because the grandma is sniffing ****, which i guess is tobacco but you know she's talking to a random kid in a rabbit suit.

yeah i took all the handouts from the class and hole punched and braded them into a story book, we had to do our own short for the class which was pretty entertaining. We did some Pinocchio/Dr. Jerkyll Mrs. hyde thng. I only have the first half on youtube, otherwise i would have to cut out the music. I should have went all public domain music. I was originally going to do a cloverfield thing, but that was going to cost more. It took place during a costume party and everyone would have to wear costumes, then i would have to animate in a monster. Then again, it would be hilarious if we just got a guy in a suit and put him in a green screen with a bunch of miniture buildings...again cost.

actually fair does mean pale, as racist as that sounds in the language, im really fair skinned, and I have to stay the **** away from the sun because I don't want melanoma. I was looking at my arms the other day and I was looking at the blue veins and I was like goddamn im transparent.  In German its "schöneste", which just means beautiful. But Snow White is supposed to be white as snow. I think she i supposed to have rosy red cheeks though(because the mom pricked her fingers and dripped blood in the snow). She's paler though then the last girl to play snow white that I remember. This chick.

It's funny you mention that. Every time I go to comicon I see Zack the first black ranger and that black girl the second yellow ranger. Both are working on web series type things and/or music videos. It's just sometimes after certain roles people wont take you seriously for other things. Which scares me cause i'd love to be a power ranger.

Still though i'm if they are still continuing their acting they are successful in their own rights.

Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: ThePerm on November 19, 2011, 05:33:01 PM
id be willing to go with the Shitty agent things, I looked up what was going on with the power rangers after the question popped up, and the second Yellow Ranger, she just did an indie pic, which is good to hear, but yeah I can see somewhat not being taken seriously. However, I'd like to see comebacks across the board. Joseph Gordon Levitt just did it, he wasn't a power ranger, but he had a similar disappearance. The thing that brings it up is the ex-Power Rangers are all the right age to be action stars. 30s to late 40s. Some of them are great martial artists, and I like martial arts and thus I would love to see lots of kickass martial arts action films.

Note: Second Black Ranger is the voice of Ichigo on Bleach, I haven't ever watched Bleach in English, so Ill have to check it out.

Speaking of Power Rangers, I would love to see a modern day re-imagining. There are new power ranger shows all the time, but they fucking just copy the old series. Power Rangers are people in Exo-suits that have giant dinosaur robots that fight Kaiju, and if you were to reinterpret that with todays awesomeness then you get Iron Man fighting cloverfield and jumping into a big badass mecha.

The Cabin in the Woods
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810035105/video

Producer: Joss Whedon
Director: Drew Goddard
Starring: Chris "Thor" Hemsworth
Quote
In this twisted thriller from Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, five friends arrive at a secluded cabin with clear instructions for their anticipated mountain getaway. But when the rigid rules are broken, punishment is swift -- and everyone will pay. Kristen Connolly, Jesse Williams, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Chris Hemsworth and Brian J. White star with Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford in this surprising spin on a classic horror setup.

Looks interesting, and I love me some horror movies.
And it would be nice to see what Whedon and Thor were doing before I go see The Avengers.

The trailer actually got me a little hyped for it too. There is also another special appearance at the end.

Too bad it looks like almost everyone from the first movie is dead, I kinda enjoyed the first movie for what it was. A slightly larger than life domestic terror movie based on a COMIC BOOK and childrens cartoon that was a fun watch.
The sequel looks to be more of the same [but better]. A Popcorn wartime action blockbuster.


edit: :( also looks like no Cobra Commander this time around which also means no JGL
although I could've sworn I saw him in the trailer....

It's old news that a sequel is coming, it was announced awhile ago. There IS news about it today though, it looks like WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter (who was heavily involved in the franchise in the 1980s) will have a cameo in the movie.

Hi, I'm Troy Mclure.  You may rember me from such movies as The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel and The Greatest Story Ever Hula-ed.




On a side note, is anybody else watching American Horror Story?  I'm liking it and it is one of the few shows where I really have no idea what is going to happen next.

I'm just wondering if they are gonna stick to the game plan and have a new family next season, or are they gonna Heroes it and run this one into the ground?

You should spoiler that.  I had no idea what the game plan was.  While after I saw a recent development it came to mind I don't want to be privy to the actual plans for the seasons before I see the episodes.

Considering ghost baby they could be around for a while.  I guess they could just kill that family and have the horrible neighbor raise the baby though.

sorry. I edited the post.
But I didn't really think of it as a spoiler as I have no idea what they are gonna do at the end of this season or anytime during the next.

But considering that no family has escaped that house alive (so far), they could have a new family in the house next season and the current family too (along with all the past peoples that have died in that house.)

But this show is a little twisted. I like it.
Can't believe it's by the same guy that did Glee. complete opposite ends of the scale.

yeah, the very idea of a gi-joe movie is fucking stupid.......but I started to dig the trailer whenever they started playing "7 nation army" and there were a lot of ninjas.

as far as American Horror Story goes
because its made by the makers of Nip/Tuck its going to get more depraved as the show goes on, and while I think its obvious their probably going to kill the whole family. I think the wife goes as least, and the father moves next door with Constance and they raise their anti-christ grandchild/not anti christ child, or some crazy ****, really unpredictable, and then a new family moves in and it gets weirder

It sounded like you read that in an interview with the creators or something.  No worries.

AHS
I think that either the Dad or the Mom is going to go to jail for killing Violet or stuffed back in the loony bin.  The cops aren't exactly going to believe she committed suicide when her body is stuffed under the floorboards. 

I like how jarring it is.  The first episode had so many interactions that were just purposely off and made to make you fell uncomfortable.  The intro does a great job of portraying it.  Awesome intro.

In one moment you think you understand some things and the next they pull it away or at times purposely lie to you. The burned guy originally said he killed his family.

Tate I don't know what to think of him.  In one episode he seems innocent like he doesn't know anything and in the next he is raping somebody or killing them.  We now know that he always knew he was dead and I get the feeling that he is pretending not to remember blowing away kids at school.  We still don't even know why he did that.  He really is crazy in the sense that you have no idea what he going to do at any given time.

And of course Constance is a glorious bitch.

idk i was expecting something better, maybe I watched to many Saddam Hussein documentaries. There was this really good British Miniseries about Saddam's Son in Law called Saddam's Tribe. I think that was it, there's another one i guess. Then recently the Devil's Double. The Dictator is supposed to be based off of Saddam's novel, which is really a metaphor between relations between Iraq and the international world.

Is anybody else going to see this movie?
It's looking pretty good from what I've heard and it's going to be one of the few movies given a world wide release that I can actually catch before most people.
It's also the most expensive Chinese movie ever made (I imagine Bale's salary took a hefty chunk of it).  Is it getting a release near you?  Bale is such a big name right now I figure that him being the lead is going to give it a lot of international attention.

A small warning: Due to the subject matter prepare to either be depressed or bawling once it ends.

It's a shame that there are currently only three 90-minute episodes because the show is really fun. The next series/season airs in 2012.01 and will be another three 90-minute episodes. Ah, I've been waiting for so long for the second series/season.

I just received my copy of the H.P Lovecraft Historical Society's adaption of The Whisperer in Darkness (http://www.cthulhulives.org/store/storeDetailPages/whisperer-dvd.html)! I've been following the production for quite a while now... years in fact. I intend to watch it later this evening, but am fully expecting to be blown away. Hell, even Sandy Petersen helped out with the production. Their previous offering, an adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu (http://www.cthulhulives.org/store/storeDetailPages/coc-dvd.html), was easily the most compelling proof to date that there is indeed a way to bring Lovecraft's work to cinematic life.

I'd suggest everyone go check out both films. They're definitely worth the purchase, and go to support truly independent cinema. Otherwise, I do believe that The Call of Cthulhu is available on NetFlix. I imagine that The Whisperer in Darkness will follow in time. Just keep in mind that both films are shot as strict period pieces, so Cthulhu is actually a shorter silent film. Whisperer on the other hand is more in the style of a 1930s Universal Studios horror film, like King Kong or Frankenstein.

Also, for those interested... The HPLHS has a plethora of cool stuff in their online store. Included amongst it is a two CD set of so-called Solstice Carols. Mythos inspired parodies of those dreadful Christmas tunes you all know and hate. If anything could actually make the holidays fun, those are it! :)

lol did we watch the same trailer? Its kinda sad. Nolan makes movies I would make if i had a big studio behind me. Whats going on in the TDKR is kinda like a plot I was writing, except it solves all the problems I have developing the story. Ever seen Apocalypse Now? This is what happens if Kurts leaves the jungle and blows up a city...except there's Batman in it. Throw in some darth vader/phantom of the opera.

did you see the 6 minute prologue? The trailer seems that much better if you've seen the prologue.

Also yeha, the first part of batman begins is awesome. Your not getting a regular batman movie, your getting this epic movie that shows a journey across the world. Without it you would be stuck in this micro-world of gotham only. This world is so much bigger than your typical batman movie, or comic for that matter. IDK, I was always a fan of Ras Al Ghul in the animated series, and some of my favorite episodes were the training he got from traveling with Talia.

Even though scarecrow as a character gets to have a 3 movie story arch throughout the series. IDK i think they treat Crane pretty well. They got his look down as well. Scary as **** really. I don't want to see a movie with Jim Carrey's Riddler with a burlap bag on his head. Thats what it would be otherwise. I kinda expect him to be in the new movie a lot, but only in interior location scenes.

Batman Begins was easily Nolan's worst film. The main problem of the film was not focusing on the Scarecrow. The entire theme of the film is fear. The fear that Batman causes in his enemies and uses as a weapon. The fear that Bruce himself has concerning his past and future. The Scarecrow fits into that perfectly, but barely had more than a handful of scenes. Instead we get was some laughable plot about a cult of ninjas trying to take over the world. Yawn.

Thankfully we got a much, much better film out of The Dark Knight. I'm very interested to see how Nolan wraps it all up, even if this recent trailer was about as boring as could be. I'm kind of hoping to see the trilogy end with Bane breaking the Bat. ;)

Post by: ThePerm on December 20, 2011, 09:19:21 PM
you know if you watch The dark Knight Joker has barely any screen time. Its probably about 17 minutes of a 152 minute movie. His scenes are pretty big though.

I don't get the "theres not enough scarecrow" logic. Scarecrow is a minor villain. He's not a very detailed character, he's a mad psychiatrist who dresses like a scarecrow and uses fear gas. Thats it. Can you develop much of a movie around that? Most animated series episodes dont spend much time developing his character either, its usually just batman sneaking around where his hq is. 

I mean its not like he has some big origins story. What do you want him to run around and say like catchphrases about hay, and have minions that dress like the scarecrow from wizard of oz? He's pretty 1 dimensional. What they did do with him is much more interesting. He's scary as ****. He has some decent airtime as crane. I don't think scarecrow is going to run around all scooby doo in a scarecrow costume 24/7.

He uses his gimmick when its appropriate:When he's scaring the **** out of people with fear gas. Even when he's not wearing the mask he's at Dr. Herbert West levels of creepiness. Still, Ras Al ghul is a bigger threat and he's more interesting.

the prologue is pretty well down right now, it was up a couple of days ago, but i dont see it around anymore. Its pretty epic.

I edited my post before I finished posting because it was creepier, but I didn't start the topic of Anne Hathaway's breasts; that was Oohboy. I'm just inserting some scientifically informed analysis into the discussion. The feminine cycle just becomes another factor in mammary size. Her BMI is the second factor.  Her age is another.

Hell, I remember years ago when people cared it was Britney Spears boobs that were in question, and this was before her massive weight fluctuations.  If I do remember correctly didn't Oohboy also start the Hawtness thread?

Also, if you would re-read my post, I didn't offer that as the sole explanation, just a strong possibility. I definitely considered the other more obvious listed factors. Key words: "chances are"

Breasts may change SIZE during ovulation, but not shape. This is a case of a difference in body fat composition. In fact, in most women, breast size INCREASES with age (look at Salma Hayek, Susan Sarandon, Marissa Miller, I could go on) but when there's significant weight loss (or gain) breast shape and size change pretty radically. Anne Hathaway is older now, but she's clearly lost weight during the time between Brokeback and Love & Other Drugs. I wonder if she's gained any of it back for Dark Knight Rises.

One can only hope. Because chesty or not, that girl is fine.

Yeah, she did sound very catwoman like in the trailer. There were other girls trying out for the role, but I think the thing she did different was the hyper sexy voice. What she was saying was very class warfare income inequality type stuff, though some would like to point this follows current trends, this is a theme heavily in batman begins as well. Falcone pretty much says the same thing. This movie seems more like a sequel to batman begins then a sequel to the dark knight, which is actually a good way to go because thats hat they did with the dark knight. Also, if you were considering this acts in a play then this is very third act in a much bigger picture.

But the Marvel films are largely based on those since they all have to be more modern anyway. I always thought of the Ultimate Universe was more of a way to make the characters younger, more relatable and for the writers to not have to tip toe around such convoluted continuities.

What do you think of DC's reboot?

I'm not racist, I just don't want them changing the race of characters.

Did the race of the character change the character in any way other than skin color?
Did finding an actor to fit the part that just so happened to be black ruin the movie for you?

Do you have a problem with either Michael Clark Duncan or Samuel L. Jackson?
Because I think they both did a great job with the roles they've been given.
 
It's not like they took main characters that are very well known like Spiderman or Wolverine and made such a change because that would be wierd, but they made such a relatively minor change with a secondary character that was portrayed that way in the comics to begin with, so really I don't see the problem other than you don't like the source material they borrowed from.

Would you like it if they took a black character or Asian character and made them white? I think the only reason they didn't get bigger reactions is because they were minor character. I think it's obvious there would be much bigger backlash if they tried making someone like Superman or Batman black (I remember the outcry when DC was just planning to change Superman's costume). What if they wanted to re-make Shaft, but have him be white?

Didn't I just say that they did it with secondary characters and that it would be wierd if they did it with a well known main character? especially one that had never been portrayed that way in the source material?

And Shaft wouldn't be Shaft if he was white. The entire series is a blacksploitation. If you change it to a white character it would become a parody and like Donald Glover already pointed out, it would probably be hilarious.

So you guys heard about the multitude of Avatar: the Legend of Korra leaks right? Well, I was there as they were leaked by the leaker.

 The leaker has a twitter account:

http://www.twitter.com/TheKorraLegend

 And he tweeted that he was gonna leak the clips and pics on his friends forum. So, I asked him a couple questions, which he retweeted, and finally I joined that forum and we all waited for the leaks.

 As soon as the leaks hit me and about twenty others from ASN go batshit crazy. We're downloading them, discussing them in that forum and ASN's forum, and finally it spread through tumblr, YouTube, and the Internet itself like wildfire.

 Fun times.

 So yeah, if you don't know what leaked clips I'm talking about, go to that twitter and see all the clips. If you don't feel like signing up at that site just google it and you'll find it. :)


Or, if you'd rather watch all the leaked clips in one video, here it is:

I am sick of studios trying to get minority viewers by making white characters black (i.e. Kingpin and Nick Fury).

I think this is the assumption that is putting people off. It's cynical and perhaps a bit offensive to assume that these black actors got their parts because of "studios trying to get minority viewers" rather than the merits of those actors.


And maybe the fact that the vast majority of comic book characters were originally white says more about the creators of those comics (or the era they lived in) than using some minority actors to portray them says about modern filmmakers.

I'm going to have to Say I prefer Nick Fury being white because he's so much kick ass in a way you would normally associate with a black character that the sheer oddity and coolness of it made me like the character more.  Now I do enjoy Black Lex Luthor much more than traditional White Lex Luthor.  I think who plays the Kingpin in the Daredevil movie fits the character to the T.

If the character is the same, aka they don't change the backstory to coincide with the new skin, I tend to be ok with it.

Well he decided to bring the Munster back and is working on a Pilot for the show.
I'm very curious to see if that ever sees broadcast.


p.s. Brian Fuller (Pushing Daisies) is also involved

From writer-executive producer Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies," "Heroes"), THE MUNSTERS is an imaginative reinvention of "The Munsters" as a visually spectacular one-hour drama from Universal Television. Bryan Singer ("X-Men: First Class," "House") is the director of the pilot and an executive producer; John Wirth ("Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles") also is an executive producer.

Iron Sky is one of a new wave of productions, including Artemis Eternal, The Cosmonaut, A Swarm of Angels and RiP!: A Remix Manifesto, produced in collaboration with an on-line community of film enthusiasts, that are creating a new kind of participatory cinema. At Wreck-a-Movie, a collaborative film-making web site, the producers have invited everyone interested in "chipping in" with their ideas and creativity to read the tasks given to the community and to take a shot (write an entry).

There might have been. It's been in development for several years and has seen the release of quite a few teasers and test trailers.

I saw the trailer for The Borrowers preceding The Muppets a few months back. It looks really good, though the name change doesn't seem to be for the best. I can only assume it was to avoid confusion with the late 90's live-action film.

I didn't care for Sam Raimi's execution of Spider-Man at all... and I'm a pretty big Raimi fan. I wasn't so much bothered by the nit-picky things, like natural web cartridges. It was mostly a reliance on bad CGI and subpar casting that killed it for me. Of course, by the time the third film came around, it had just gotten convoluted and bloated.

Is a Spider-Man reboot the solution? Hell no. You could continue onward without directly acknowledging the previous efforts if that's what you want. Let's not run through the entire boring origin again, though. I don't need to know James Bond's origin every time they switch actors... and I certainly don't need to know Spider/Super/Bat/Whomever-man's origins every few years. These characters are so ingrained into the public consciousness that it's ridiculous to think the story needs to be told over and over again... let alone be the focus of an entire film.

For those who like Community (I honestly don't know why), I am happy for you. If it was on any of the other broadcast networks, it would have been canceled by now because of its low ratings (it finished 115th in the 2010-2011 season), but NBC can't afford to cancel shows just because of low ratings. It's the main reason Chuck lasted as long as it did.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: NWR_insanolord on February 24, 2012, 08:11:13 PM
Community would have been canceled long ago with the ratings it has even on NBC if it weren't as critically acclaimed as it is. It also does really well, as in being in the top ten, for some important demographics. It has a cult following, and NBC knows exactly what they're going to get in terms of ratings/Hulu/iTunes/DVD sales. It seems almost likely at this point that NBC will give it a fourth season, taking it to its logical conclusion.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on February 24, 2012, 08:21:31 PM
The show is helped by the fact that NBC partially owns it (through Universal Television), otherwise stuff lie DVD sales wouldn't matter to them. Say Warner Bros. owned the show, only Warner would profit from DVD sales and stuff.

I hate when they go by demographics, I know why they do but I hate it. A show can do well in the ratings but still get canceled if not enough people in the target demographic watch it (I won't get into the flawed nature of ratings anyways, with only 25,000 households being used to determine what 131 million households are watching).

Community is very experimental, almost nothing is off limits if it's funny. It doesn't always work, but most importantly, it isn't afraid to fail, learning along the way. Big Bang was initially new through targeting the Nerd demographics laced with enough general popculture for the mainstream, but it quickly fell into it's own formula eating it's way into boredom.

Community's only formula is it must be funny.

The Big Bang Theory is nerd blackface. All the episodes I've seen devolved into "look at how weird these guys are" without any kind of wit or cleverness to the writing. It also uses a laugh track, which is pretty unforgivable on modern TV. I watched through all of NewsRadio again recently, which is brilliantly written but the laugh track drags it down a bit. It was barely okay when that show was on the air, it's just a terrible creative decision now.

It's a false statement, but sure. It basically boils down to this:
*Community is somewhat liked by critics and watched by very few people (it averaged 4.2 million last year)
*Big Bang Theory is loves by critics and is one of the most watched shows on TV (averaging 16 million viewers)

I am not saying Community is a bad show, but there is a reason BBT is loved. It's funny, well written, and does tons of fan service.

The part about the show being all about "look how weird these crazy nerds are" is the part that makes it nerd blackface. I'm not against poking fun at groups of people, but there needs to be creativity and substance to it, which I've never seen BBT do. I'll fully admit I haven't seen anywhere near all the episodes of the show, so maybe I missed something there, but based on what I've seen there's pretty much nothing redeeming about it.

If you think Big Bang Theory is liked by critics at anywhere near the same level as Community you're just not paying attention. I'm not saying critical acclaim automatically makes a show good, but Community clearly has way more of it than Big Bang Theory.

CBS is the Activision of the television world. Every company is out for money, but different companies have different standards for how much artistic quality they're willing to sacrifice in order to get that money. CBS, like Activision, doesn't give a **** about quality, and will ride any successful brand into the ground (Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, CSI, NCIS). Call of Duty sets new sales records every year, and CBS is perennially the best-rated network on TV, so some people are obviously okay with that, but I don't like it.

Who are these "experts" that they consult? BBT is horse ****, btw. Watch it without the laughtrack added in, it's just awkward.

I think Community sucks too, but I gave up on it after like 3 or 4 episodes.

That's true of most any laugh track show. Laugh tracks are an awful thing to use on television. And give Community another shot, Brandogg. If you can watch Modern Warfare and still not like it, then there's no hope for you.

You may not like the show, but it is a very good show (if it's ****, then EVERY show is ****). One of the funniest shows on TV, easily better than most.

Their main technical expert is Dr. David Saltzberg, a astroparticle physicist at UCLA. He also worked for CERN from 1995-1997. He checks every script for technical errors, even makes sure the equations on whiteboards are correct. One of the stars of the show now (she joined last season) is Mayim Bialik, who actually has a PhD in neuroscience.

I think the show gets hate for the same reason ones like Frasier did, it's a smart show that doesn't aim all of their jokes at the lowest class.

This times a thousand. If you want a good geek-themed show, definitely check that out. It's on Netflix Instant.

it's a smart show that doesn't aim all of their jokes at the lowest class.

I think you're watching a different show, because that's exactly what The Big Bang Theory, and every comedy on CBS, does. That's why they get the ratings they do. It's not a smart show in the slightest; it's a lowest-common-denominator comedy dressed up in nerd culture.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about science experts, I thought you were talking about "nerd experts." Who cares if they use experts to make sure the math equations are correct (they could just use a textbook, too), lots of shows do that.

There are three good comedy shows on TV - The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Conan. The end.

I watch the show every week. Once in a while they make those kind of jokes (mainly by Howard), but the majority are not.

I quickly lost interest in Conan, Office sucks (both US and UK versions), and I don't like the style of Parks.

I would argue 8 myself. Community, Parks & Rec and 30 Rock on NBC; Always Sunny, Archer and Louie on FX; Futurama, which isn't what it used to be but is still pretty good; and The Life and Times of Tim on HBO, which TJ Spyke would really hate because it once managed to get a 0.0 on the Nielsen ratings. Conan's a different kind of show, so I wouldn't count that in this.

I watched a couple episodes of Life and Times, I liked it but have too many shows to watch as it is.

Getting 0.0 rating is impressive because even 0.1 is only about 100K viewers.

Let's not forget Modern Family and Happy Endings--great shows, the latter of which doesn't seem to have a big viewership. My wife and I tried to watch the IT Crowd but hated it after three episodes. It felt incredibly broad (I've said this before) and none of the characters are likable.

Alan Gregory was funny, but it's cancelled now, so...hmmm. Watch it if it hits DVD.

There is not an ounce of believability or truth in Big Bang Theory. None. The characters that populate that show are shallow caricatures that only serve the purpose to be pointed at and laughed at. Note the difference between believability/truth and realism. Community is not a realistic show at all, but I believe in those characters. They are real human beings. There is no such thing on BBT.

Which would all be fine if it was funny, but it's not. Who the **** cares if they have some scientist they consult? They have no love for nerd culture, and it shows with every easy nerd joke they make. JP is right, BBT employs extremely lazy writing. (I would say lowest common denominator, but that designation is saved for Chuck Lorre's two other shows, Two and a Half Men and Mike and Molly. Good GOD.) And what about ambition? Big Bang Theory has none while Community is arguably the most ambitious television comedy ever this side of Spaced.

In ten years, no one's going to remember Big Bang Theory. Community will still have fans.

LOL, suuuuuuure. Community is a niche show that will be remembered only by the most hardcore fans. BBT will be remembered as one of the best sitcoms on TV. It's funny seeing so much hate, since you are clearly in the minority on the show. It's fine, it's  a great show that is really entertaining and without a doubt is one of the funniest shows on TV.

Actually, the posts so far seem to indicate that you are in the minority... at least here on the forum. Current widespread appeal doesn't really mean much for future recognition. You have to play it safe and slow to reach the masses. that kind of attitude isn't usually going to garner long term distinction.

I worry more about the tone of your posts here. Maybe it's just the wording, but it almost comes across as though you're trying to convince yourself that it's a good show, not us. It's almost as if you're saying "everyone likes it, so I have to as well... right?". :P

I meant you guys here are in the overall minority. Most people love BBT, so it's a statistical anomaly to see so many of the haters in one place.

I love the show and have since I started watching in the middle of season 1. It's just shocking to see such a great show get hated on, and more specifically the claims that it's not a funny show or that the writing is bad. I am fine with someone not liking a show because they are not into it, but I can't disagree more with the reasons stated by some here (and apparently I got a few smites because of it).

Community is the next Arrested Development. It gets **** ratings, but will do well in the long run on DVD sales and be remembered as a cult hit. The Big Bang Theory would be forgotten if not for the fact that it will be rerun on TBS for the rest of time.

I sort of have to go with TJ on this one.

I enjoy the show.  I don't think it would really work if there was an ounce of believability in it because you would easy start to feel pity for them.

Besides here I can't think of anyone who dislikes the show.

Community on the other hand I haven't really found any of the random episodes I've seen to be enough for me to want to make it a point to see more.  They are somewhat amusing, but I found them slow.  It helps the one lady is nice looking at times.  I'm going to make it a point to go watch more of it after finish Enterprise and Breaking Bad.

I will say BBT only has 1 ok season left in it unless something really shakes up.  I have no doubt that Community will gain cult status.   Nothing Cult Status all most by definition has a large following with a few notable exceptions.

I don't understand how someone could call Community slow, especially compared to a laugh track show. The main reason laugh tracks are awful is they break up and slow down a show. Maybe compared to something like 30 Rock it's slow, but against basically anything else it's a ridiculous criticism.

Tonight Show is better than Late Show.  Local news vs. Daily Show is not really fair comparison. Local news is actual news and centered around local news stories (of course), Daily Show is about national stories and is mostly comedic look at them.

And no one is saying ratings are the only factor. But like Ceric, here is pretty much the only place I have seen people that don't like BBT.

This is of course little more than anecdotal evidence, but I don't personally know of a single person that enjoys Big Bang Theory. In contrast, I hear nothing but praise and excitement concerning Community.

For me, Big Bang Theory at best just feels hokey and formulaic. It doesn't even try to distinguish itself from any other sitcom. That is, of course, why it's popular though. It doesn't need to be different, apparently. Most people don't want different, whether it be television, film, music, food, whatever.

On the other hand, I watch Community and am consistently amused. It's generally witty, fast-paced, and often outright surreal. It has a formula as well, but it's aware of it and openly mocks it. It's the only sitcom I watch, actually. I generally just don't like the genre, so I think it speaks volumes in Community's favor that I look forward to each episode.

Watch what you want. It's just sad to see Community struggle when it has absolutely everything going in its favor.

I wouldn't hate on Big Bang Theory so much if it weren't in the same time slot as Community and cleaning up while Community struggles. Normally I don't give a **** if people want to watch awful television because they're not hurting anyone, but when a truly amazing show is on the brink of cancellation going up against an uninspired, formulaic show like that it makes me mad.

Community was struggling even before BBT moved from Mondays to Thursdays, the only thing that changed was that now it's losing to BBT (and X Factor/American Idol) rather than Survivor. Pretty much the only way the show would do better in ratings is maybe move it to Friday (where the ratings are so bad that even Univision sometimes beats network shows in ratings).

I find the Office slow as well if that makes a difference on that account.  Its very possible I just have ran into bad episodes.

I also don't like art films.
I don't care for romances most of the time.
Anything labelled Powerful I more than likely should not watch.
Drama's not much my cup of tea.

I'm not big on shows that are fairly unstructured.  I want to have a rough idea what I'm getting into when I watch. I don't want to have to wonder if a thread is ever going to get resolved.

Do you realise how big those X Factor/American Idol/reality BS shows are? They create nasty rating deserts around them. It's a amazing Community survived next to that. BBT won't be that show that takes Community down. It will be some bean counting suit that can't look up from his spreadsheet that kills Community.

Community has a strong chronological element to it for a comedy. Watching random episodes mean some of it gets lost since there is actual character development strangely enough giving it's a lot more structure and rewards for whose see it front to end dispite the chaos of each individual episode. It's order from chaos.

Use the characters as an anchor rather than looking for a formula to settle in. They change, but not so drastically to the point they become different people each season. The underlying character remains, but the super structure changes and warps with the reality of each episode.

BBT does almost as well in the ratings as American Idol is. It averages 16 million viewers a show this season (more than four times as many as Community). Shows that may be liked or loved by critics but do poorly in the ratings can only last so long before they get canceled. If NBC wasn't in the shape it is in, there is no way they would have renewed the show after it finished 97th in season 1 with 5 million viewers a episode, dropping to 115th with 4.48 million viewers a episode in season 2, and is now doing less than 4 million a episode this season. The show just keeps losing viewers.

Then I say thank god NBC's in shambles enough that they feel it's a good move to keep quality television on the air instead of pandering to the lowest common denominator. NBC has three fantastic comedies on Thursday night (plus The Office, which I've never been a big fan of but a lot of people like), and I can't remember the last time I watched something on CBS that wasn't football. Ratings mean nothing in terms of quality, and whatever it takes for NBC to keep doing what they're doing, I'm happy.

Televised singing / dancing / talent contests are not reality shows.


Would you call Deal or No Deal, Wheel of Fortune, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Jeopardy, The Price is Right, etc. reality shows?


Shows like Jersey Shore, Cake Boss, Hogan Knows Best, COPS, etc. are reality shows. In fact, I consider COPS to be the first true reality show, since it's real police officers on pursuit of real criminals, with a few cameramen filming the footage.


And I'd even go so far as to call America's Funniest Videos a reality show, since it's all about user-submitted tapes.

BBT does that as well ironically.  Which is fine as long as its the norm.  If I go into an episode and there is something for the long term fans to notice, but is self contained own thing I'm ok with that.  That's actually a hallmark of a traditional American produced Cartoon compared to a Traditional Japanese produced Cartoon which is very order driven.  If a show has a strong continuity where you be easily lost if you don't start from the beginning then doing the oddball episode here and there is ok, but ultimately I think its just a ticking time bomb for a Comedy.  It doesn't give the writers enough room to stay funny without starting to muddle there own show.

Good examples of this is "30 Rock".  That show was funny, but its so trapped in its characters now that it has no where to go.  It should have been cancelled 2 seasons ago.  "Better of Ted" another good example, while I recommend everyone watches that show at least once because it is funny if it hadn't gotten cancelled despite enjoying it I would say it had 1 season left into it.

Since I'm on the tangent now anyways, lets look at what could arguably be considered the most successful series ever, Law and Order.  The Franchise has ran a long time and successfully spun off numerous times because its core formula was solid.  Crime, Investigation, and Court.  The characters where just a vehicle to hit those point.  People could and did move in and out with no real effect what-so-ever on the show itself.  That's a good, but hard concept.


From piecing together what I'm hearing in this thread Community really needs to be watched from start to finish in order, but has just as many episodes thrown in that our offshoots at that point of the continuity.

The Spoiler stuff is what I originally wrote for the interested.  I thought it had some points, but was off-topic.

NBC is in shambles right now. The AV Club posted an article recently about how NBC's ratings were tied with that of Univision. I didn't even know what network Univision was before reading the article. It doesn't matter what they're airing, people are avoiding NBC like rancid dog poop. Meanwhile, CBS is doing so good that the fucking Rob Schneider sitcom is getting 12 million viewers a week, (trouncing the also solid Parks and Rec in the same timeslot) and I don't hear ANYONE arguing that that is any good.

Before writing off the quality of CBS as a whole, I have heard from people I trust and critics that The Good Wife is one of the best shows on TV right now, it just has a terribly unappealing title. Like, I've heard serious comparisons to The Wire and Breaking Bad. I haven't seen it, can anyone confirm/deny?

You may like How I Met Your Mother.  Its on Netflix.  I would watch whats on there.  Last season and this one are not that good.  Though when it first came out I just caught episodes to ogle Alyson Hannigan.

Agree.  That's why the last 2 seasons haven't been that great.  Everyone stories are really wrapped up and there just stalling.  They should have had him meet her 2 seasons ago and been dating at this point.

Yeah, the times are starting to get out of whack too. At the beginning of the show, the kids could've been Ted's. But now, that's looking to be impossible.

The characters and the actors themselves are way better on HIMTMHM. There's no laugh track though, so you won't know when to laugh? Ha, ha? or Ha haha ha? You just have to improvise and deal with it as it comes.

HIMYM is pretty good(Better than BBT), but I am somewhat soured on the premise and I wish they get it over with already, which includes ending the series. I find Ted an extremely unlikable whiney douchbag with "problems" I wish I have. Barney Stinson (NPH) might be a womanizing, seemingly amoral, sleazy bastard, but he is our magnificent bastard. It helps that NPH is gay, affable and is parodying himself.

I ogle Alyson Hannigan, but I ogle Cobie Smulders more, but only slightly more.

The BBT was never experimental unless you consider nerd black face experimental. There isn't any actual character development outside of who is sleeping with who. They did shake things up bit by adding more females in what was nominally a sausage fest. Melissa Rauch (Bernadette Rostenkowski) was a good addition to the cast as I found Kaley Cucoo (Penny) surprisingly unattractive despite having a nicer figure. The BBT also effectively resets at the end of each episode, they do call backs, like with the Mars Rover, but it's like how in the Simpsons how they do call backs. The laugh track is only the most blatantly wrong thing about this show pointing out each "joke" magnifying how unfunny they are. If I want some real nerd comedy or something consistently funny, I would go watch Futurama which did nerd comedy light years ahead of time.

30 Rock had a massive problem for a while where everything thing was about Tracy Jordan and I hate his guts. It's not helped by the fact the actor pulls the same garbage outside of 30 Rock. Now the problem is that it's no longer about a comedy show about making a comedy show, but about each character's neurosis and the exponential amount of Flanderization happening. The one thing that really worked for a while was Tina Fey's relationship with Matt Damon (Carol). Alec Badwin has always been golden in the series though.

I can't stand shows like Law and Order, besides being boring as hell, the whole ripped from the headlines level of writing can't compare to actual headlines, which is depressing. I do watch shows like NCIS and it's counterpart NCIS L.A, but mostly for the unintentional comedy factor especially with how everything about NCIS LA has to be some international incident even if it's just some local crime. The number of Arabs they shoot is borderline racist if it wasn't for the fact they have a ridiculously high body count that would make Rambo blush with envy. NCIS at least has the decency to stay sort of grounded in "some" police work if it wasn't for the absurd story arcs they have running through a given season. All that is assuming your willing to buy into the whole authoritarian police state ideal both shows push to a level matching propaganda where the people using the tools are always just people and terrorists are so sophisticated that suspending civil rights is always the only option.

NBC is in shambles right now. The AV Club posted an article recently about how NBC's ratings were tied with that of Univision. I didn't even know what network Univision was before reading the article. It doesn't matter what they're airing, people are avoiding NBC like rancid dog poop. Meanwhile, CBS is doing so good that the fucking Rob Schneider sitcom is getting 12 million viewers a week, (trouncing the also solid Parks and Rec in the same timeslot) and I don't hear ANYONE arguing that that is any good.

Before writing off the quality of CBS as a whole, I have heard from people I trust and critics that The Good Wife is one of the best shows on TV right now, it just has a terribly unappealing title. Like, I've heard serious comparisons to The Wire and Breaking Bad. I haven't seen it, can anyone confirm/deny?


I haven't watched TV in months. I don't have cable, and I don't have an antenna hokked up to my TV (so no broadcast stations).


So let me get this straight... NBC is a disaster, while CBS is doing very well. Where does that leave ABC and Fox?

i didn't like tbbt at first, and laugh tracks generally bother me, but then I saw the first episode, which sets up all the inside jokes. The first time I watched the show it was a star trek themed show and I figured I would never watch it again because at some point they would run out of geek humor. When I second saw bg bang theory it was without the laugh track on youtube, and it looked like the unfunniest show ever. Then I was extremely bored and the first episode was on and that was a good introduction to the characters. The thing I like about tbbt is that the characters are largely inconsistent. Sometimes they seem a certain way and sometimes they approximate that way. Though, iv watched them mostly out of order, which might explain that. The show is less about geek humor and more about social interaction. Though, id imagine in real life penny wouldn't talk to the gang beyond the first couple of encounters.

ABC is starting to get in trouble since their long running shows are dropping in ratings. Fox is doing really good, they have the #1 show on TV in terms of ratings (American Idol), and their other shows get solid ratings too.

That's just... weird.

McCain looked like a CG'd head atop a Muppet body more than a few times during that.

Woody Harrelson looks like Jesse Ventura.

I'm pretty sure that I saw Ron Livingston in there.

The use of the Guess Who's "American Woman" is either a not-so-subtle message, or no one bothered to actually listen to the lyrics.

Does anyone even actually still care about Palin? :o
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: oohhboy on March 11, 2012, 09:14:31 AM
I only know of it because Julianne Moore popped up a couple days ago on The Daily Show and from the clips I saw, it speaks volumes about her acting ability. It was such a scarily close impersonation Julianne Moore could replace Palin with no one the wiser if she had a little bit more weight and her face a touch wider or no one gets too close to her. On TV you could easily pass her off as the real deal. Tina Fey had done a good spoof, but that was still a spoof.

Julianne Moore is always a treat.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 11, 2012, 11:33:03 AM
I just finished watching it. Julianne Moore did a great job and was very Palin like.
Ed Harris had a few McCain look-a-like moments, but he was too skinny. He also didn't really capture the McCain shocked and appalled moment either, but this movie isn't really about McCain.

This movie only put into movie form what I (and just about everyone else I know) had already known. Someone made a very bad decision and we all have had to live with it since.
This movie is very much a [Julianne Moore] put down piece that attempts to shift all ill thought of [Ed Harris] back onto [Julianne Moore], but after watching the movie, I think that blame should be on [Ed Harris]'s handlers. The story seems truthful enough even if some liberties might have been taken, and that truth is that she should never have been put in that position to begin with. I know that this was a made for TV movie, but it just seems like they rushed through a lot of it and they probably could have done a 3-4 part miniseries instead so that they could have gone into more detail... actually another 20-30 minutes of her build of confidence and her rise to fame to the point where she felt it was now her campaign might have been enough. But there were more laughs to be had at [Julianne Moore]'s expense.

Although the Palin watching Tina Fey do Palin on SNL parts brought back some very fond memories. Those skits got me to watch SNL again for a moment.... and made me a fan of 30 Rock.

Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 16, 2012, 12:14:05 AM
It's based on a "gothic soap opera" (using Wikipedia) of the same name that aired on ABC from 1966-1971. Apparently Burton is a fan of the series.

NBC tried reviving it in 1991, but it lasted only 2 months because ratings dropped due to episodes constantly being delayed or rescheduled due to coverage of the Gulf War. The WB then ordered a pilot for a new series in 2004 but didn't pick it up.

Michael Bay is terrible and I think that even audiences hate him.

His really successful movies aren't successful because of him but because he attaches himself to something the audience loves like a lamprey.  He gets to an actor while he's hot or gets a cherished childhood tv show and then put his name near it.  People hear his name but don't give a **** because they want to see Optimus or Ben Affleck (before Bennifer).  Transformers would have been successful as long as someone competent enought to have giant robots fight in front of the camera directed.

The two Ultimate Avengers films utilized him well enough. The problem is that Thor is literally a god, not just some guy that was exposed to gamma radiation. He's one a completely different level than anyone else in the Avengers, with his only real threat being other gods.

That's fucking stupid. Not what you said, the theatres. If 3D sales aren't doing it for you, CUT THE 3D! Don't force 2D movies to subsidize 3D costs. That only hurts people who want to see 2D movies. Price sensitivity exists in that market these days.

I rather liked The Frighteners a lot more than LOTR. It has a lot of heart, something I definitely can't say for King Kong and lacking in LOTR. LOTR felt rather impersonal. Althought it all this might be the whole "LOTR was made here" blowback talking. The media couldn't stop name dropping that for YEARS. Looking forward to a couple more years of this...

Mind you I haven't gotten to the whole debacle where our PM gave a movie studio a legal blow job when he hand waved away a chunk of our employment laws over one movie.

James Bond sells out his Martini for "Heineken" (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/shortcuts/2012/apr/02/james-bond-product-placement).

I understood why they swapped out the PP7 for a P99 years ago, he had to update his weaponry at some point. But never would I consider him a beer drinking man. James Bond isn't an everyman, he is an idealised fantasy. The rough edges did give him a little bit more character, but in the end he is someone you want to be, not someone you already are.

Man, this is going to be like Die another day all over again.

There were already two superior versions of King Kong before Jackson got around to his half-assed attempt. Three if you count the first half of King Kong vs Godzilla. The movie simply did not need to be made. The fact that it wasn't even half as good as the versions that came before only served to make it that much more pathetic.

we just don't know for sure. We haven't really seen a character movie from Darrel Hammond. He always has small parts in other movies, but has never been leading man. On the other hand he was just as funny if not funnier than Will Farrel on SNL. One of my favorite skits was him as President Clinton dressed up as Mystery the Pickup artist. That was classic.

This isn't your regular Young Justice.  At least as far as my DVR is concerned... because it recorded the first minute or so at the end of Green Lantern, then left me f***ing hanging with no clue what the hell is going on.  On the plus side, Cartoon Network replays it every half hour or so.

Stupid DVR.

Only 13 episodes, but NBC isn't calling it the final season, so there's a chance it might get more. Six seasons and a movie!

Post by: Plugabugz on May 11, 2012, 06:03:00 AM
Yes, because they also renewed Smash even though that slid down the ratings.
Alcatraz (on Fox) was cancelled and that slid almost exactly the same amount - from about 12m to 5-6m.

Honestly, look at 13 episodes of Community as being a blessing. It's taking it into the realm of (long) british tv seasons, and that only means a good thing for quality.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if they resurrected Chuck at this point, because the shows they got running now really are all they have. NBC has been hurting, and sadly, it's the only reason Community survives for another season...

I agree, but NBC has not been having the best luck as of late, which is actually helping some of the better shows that would have been axed sooner in favor of of higher rated ones.

Chuck is just another example of a show that would have been axed sooner if NBC wasn't desperate to hold onto the viewers that it did have. Which was why I mentioned it, not that I actually think they should bring it back.

I know it was confirmed that 30 Rock is getting a final 13-episode wrap-up season. Good riddence. That show started out AMAZING but dropped off a cliff in the fourth season. Sadly, with that 13-episode "season" announced for Community, I fear the same is true for it. I hope not, because they JUST BROUGHT IT BACK. Parks & Rec may also be on the wrap-up season chopping block, even though it's great. And getting better. Especially after last night's episode.

If they want to free up some air space, please cancel the Office, and make it retroactive for about four years, please.

I have heard good things about the current season. And Family Guy would be a beloved cult classic approaching the levels of Arrested Development or Community if it had just stayed dead. Seth MacFarlane is a very talented and funny guy trapped by his own success. I'd compare him to Will Ferrell in that he's way better than most of his work would lead you to believe, but he rarely gets an opportunity to show it.

i've not seen any of the Craig Bond movies, iv tried to but when i first watched Casino Royale I was drunk and it was 3 in the morning so i fell asleep before the intro credits were over. Then of course I want to watch them in order, but from the Trailers they all look good. Its hard to say what means "Bond" to most people, but I think Craig seems more "Bond" to me than Dalton/Brosnan. Im going to have to say though that Craig/Connery/Moore are more similar than those 2 though. But of course I can only conclude how Craig is by the trailers and what half drunken stuff ive watched on his 2 movies as well as films like layer cake.

Olga Kurylenko? No NOONNO nON NOOoo. Have you seen how ungodly unsexy she is in Hitman?
Gemma Arterton, yeah
Eva Green: Best of British Classiness.

TMND was very borderline. DAD went Moonraker on everyone and lost. QoS was a mess on every level.

Goldeneye and Casino Royale are easily the two best modern bond films. It's no coincidence that they were both directed by the same guy, Martin Campbell (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0132709/). He really knows how to do a Bond film.

The animation is done by Japanese studio Polygon Pictures, and the show itself is made by Disney and airs on Disney XD.

I didn't realize Japanese animators could emulate American-style cartoons. I thought most animation done in Japan was for their own market. I'm constantly surprised at how much of a big difference there is between American animation and Japanese animation.


Japanese animators seem to have much higher standards for quality. I know that Japanese animation is outsourced to foreign companies, but overall the quality is much higher than American animation.

What about Japanese animation? Do Japanese studios outsource to foreign companies, or do they do most of the work themselves?


You are right, in general the quality of animation was lower in the 1940s. I did look at the videos you posted. As for budgets, there are high budget animated shows and low budget ones. There are also far more cartoons now then there were back then.


No no no, the quality was higher. Look at Disney's old animated movies (before the 1960's). The animation was more fluid and realistic.


Animation is the simulation of movement. Stuff done back in the old days felt more fluid and alive. The cartoons done today are more "pose-to-pose" animation, nothing really flows together. 


I found this blog post (http://brightredrocket.com/getanimated/?p=74) explaining why outsourcing animation is bad for the industry

I finally saw the trailer for Wreck-It Ralph the other day.  Looks like a movie with a lot of fun video-game references and character cameos (including at least one Nintendo character that can be seen in the trailer); I can't imagine that it's not a licensing nightmare.

They were showing that trailer on a huge screen on what seemed like a continuous loop in the Disney booth. It does look good from what little I saw when getting my free Vitamin Water at the little bar they had set up for some iPhone game. I got a shirt for it, but I gave it to Neal since it was too small for me.

Wreck-It Ralph looks about as boring and generic as you can get. Outside of the character's in the support group, nothing else caught my attention.

Tron Uprising looks interesting. I haven't watched the episode yet. I really hate the style that most modern cartoons are done in however. All of the current Marvel and DC cartoons suffer from similar problems. Characters look angular, with sharp features and hard lines prevalent. It's not a pleasing style at all, and is inferior to the style we used to see in things like the 90s X-Men and Spider-Man. It had a more western look to it that harkened back to comics themselves. This stuff nowadays just looks simplified and cheap.

I recommend both of them. Compared to any other children's cartoon, both shows breath new life into Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Season 1 starts out a little slow, but I was pretty much invested after 3 or 4 episodes.

So, anyone here a fan of the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated series?  Well, the Walt Disney Company has a special message for you:

"**** YOU! (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/12/marvel-confirms-new-avengers-assemble-animated-series)"

Much like when Disney butchered the wonderful Spectacular Spider-Man (and even redubbed the series' main voice actor when Spider-Man guest-starred on Avengers) to put out its mediocre new Teen Titans "Ultimate Spider-Man" (in name only) series, Disney has confirmed that they are canceling Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.  In its place will be a new Avengers series called "Avengers Assembled", which "more closely echoes the tone and the feel of the movie" rather than the original comics (which is what Earth's Mightiest Heroes is largely based on).

This was not unexpected considering it was yet another Marvel animated series in production before Disney bought Marvel, but it still really pisses me off.  At this point, I have to wonder what the point of following a Marvel animated series is, because they keep getting canceled just as they're getting awesome.   :@   I hope that this new series is actually good, but considering the incredibly average quality of Ultimate Spider-Man, I'm not going to get my hopes up.

In MUCH happier news, I am very pleased to say that Cartoon Network has confirmed that the much-beloved Teen Titans series (after a brief return in a series of shorts on the new DC block) will be returning next year as a half-hour series (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/08/teen-titans-returning-with-new-full-length-episodes).  It will now be renamed "Teen Titans Go! and will remain comedy-focused like the shorts were, but the original voice cast is returning.  As someone who loved the animated Teen Titans series, that makes me very pleased indeed.   ;D

With the new Teen Titans Go! news, comes news of the new Batman series.

For all those who gave Brave and the Bold a hard time, **** you.


Quote
A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, ‘Beware the Batman’ incorporates Batman’s core characters with a rogues gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form.

Along with backup from ex-secret agent Alfred and lethal swordstress Katana, the Dark Knight faces the twisted machinations of Gotham City’s criminal underworld led by the likes of Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad and Magpie.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, this action-packed detective thriller deftly redefines what we have come to know as a “Batman show.” Featuring cutting-edge CGI visuals to match the intricate twists and turns of the narrative, Batman steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight for an entirely new generation of fans.

With WBA’s Sam Register executive producing, and Batman Beyond’s Glen Murakami and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated’s Mitch Watson producing, Beware the Batman, based on characters from DC Comics, is coming soon to Cartoon Network

First, if you have to tell me your show is cool... it's probably not cool.

Second, ugh...  I won't completely give up hope (even The Batman had some cool things done with it, and I like the idea that they're going all detective-thriller as opposed to "Oh, there's the Joker and he's doing something zany!"), but... just ugh.  I'll watch it though.  I watched Batman and Robin.  In Spanish.  And no, I don't speak a lick of Spanish.

Well, let's be honest here: the original Teen Titans series was probably more of a comedy series than an action one, and the comedy episodes were almost always the best ones.  I wish we could have a direct continuation as well, but from what I've seen of the recent Teen Titans shorts I think this creative team knows what they're doing.  And even though the characters are in Chibi form (complete with a lowercase "t" Titans Tower), we're still getting essentially the same characters with the same voice actors.  I'll take my wins where I can get them these days.

Besides, I'll be there's plenty of action as well, considering I don't know how they could fill a half-hour slot with just random comedy without making it an anthology show.

With the new Teen Titans Go! news, comes news of the new Batman series.

For all those who gave Brave and the Bold a hard time, **** you.

I tried to like Batman: The Brave & the Bold.  I really did, and there are some episodes of it I do really like (like the Music Meister episode), but it's just not the kind of Batman show I want to watch.  It's a lot of the same reason why I'm pretty hard on Ultimate Spider-man, which is basically just a re-skinned Teen Titans with FAR worse writing.  It's an enjoyable series in its own goofy way, but it's not the kind of Spider-Man series I want to watch.

I'm going to try to give Beware the Batman a chance because as awful as that trailer and setup seem, The Batman also started out awful but eventually evolved into a series I'd put up there with many of the more enjoyable Batman: TAS episodes.

I watched all of the first season and haven't gotten to the second one yet.  I thought the first season was ok.  Though I wish they would have used a different Robin then Dick Grayson because that one doesn't feel like him and having Nightwing would have played well with the themes of the show.

I think I can state in a nutshell what everyone wants is more series in the lineage of Batman the Animated series.  Every Batman reinvisioning since has fallen hard to that really high standard.  While Justice League, Batman Beyond, heck even that one where they pulled young Superman into the Future was better stuff then the current crop.  Young Justice had/has the potential, but they have yet to get a good mix of relief episodes from the main tone.  Spectacular Spider-Man was good and had potential as well then it got cut.  I haven't seen the new Green Lantern show that might be fun.  Batman: Brave and the Bold I enjoyed on a slapstick level and I dug the Blue Beetle.  Though I think that show really could have survived without Batman and just keep introducing more obscure characters.

You know - TAS was good.  Great, even... but I think there's a lot of Nostalgia glossing over many of the... horrible episodes.  There's the one with the Oliver Twist-style guy lives in the sewer with a bunch of kids.  There's the one where you've got the three rich kids stealing for fun.  The scammy prophecy guy.  Anything with the Penguin - notably, the one with Batman in my basement... and the Mechanic episode that seems more fan-fiction than anything.  Catwoman loses her kitty.  Catwoman turns into an actual furry.  Oh, let's not forget the "farmer makes giant crickets" episode...

As for Young Justice... it's pretty darn good.  The second season really takes off and I love the fact that we're getting some second stingers in here.  The latest plot twist revealed in last week's episode was pretty amazing.

I'm torn, really.  I like the fact that shows like Green Lantern and Young Justice have a continuing story line with character development.  But I also like B:TAS and B:TBATB for the fact that you can jump in to just about any episode and not miss a beat.

Here is the crux of the American Cartoon philosophy and the Asian Cartoon philosophy.   American you either have no overarching story and just one shots or you have a continual story going on but all episodes can be watched alone and still being enjoyed.  Asian you tend to have continual story arcs that will lose people just randomly jumping in.  Asian Cartoon in general have a good average quality.  American cartoon there really isn't a median that most cartoons hit.  Your either good or bad.  Personally I prefer when the American style really hits its stride, Justice League be a great example (Most episodes can be watched alone, but there is an overarching story for the fans to follow.)  Asian I have to sit and watch the whole thing in an order and I can't just pop to episodes an average.  This makes them in essence a lot like watching a long movie.  Part of this comes from where each form roots are.  Asian Manga.  American Comic Books. 

Though on B:TAS for every hookie episode there was a good one to counter it.

Ceric, wouldn't want to spoil things for you, but based on what you've said, I think you'd enjoy Young Justice's second season.  I think that as of last week they've gone on hiatus and will start showing repeats of season 2.  It might be a good time to jump on board.

Uncle Bob, I totally agree with you about the plot twists on YJ.  The writers have shown that they can play with your expectations and still pull of some great surprises; it's been impressive.  I've also enjoyed the B-listers showing up; it's almost sort of gotten a minor Justice League Unlimited feel in a few of the episodes.

It's hard not to be a fan of B:TAS, particularly if you're of an age where you grew up watching it in the 90s.  I'd agree that it had it's share of stinker episodes;  however, since it was so unlike anything that came before and influenced so much that came after, it still just feels as if it's the big granddaddy of most of the modern superhero cartoons.

I hate CGI cartoon series. I'm not sure if I'll give that new Batman show a fair shot because of it. Haven't watched the Green Lantern show yet for that reason. I'm excited for more Teen Titans, though.

I was thinking the other day that since Superman vs The Elite coming out, maybe a Justice League Elite cartoon would be a good idea. It could be in the same universe as Young Justice, but be a little more gritty.

Caught up a little on it, and I agree about the Robin thing. The one they used had that almost fanboyish love for Batman that you see more with Tim than Dick. I actually thought it was Tim until the time jump. In retrospect, the time jump could've forced them to introduce Damian in to the continuity, which complicates things a bit.

It is strange, Robin in this series is being portrayed as being as skilled as Batman without all of the angst.  I wonder if that was just a decision to counter the "father/son" angst they were stressing between Connor and Superman during Season 1.  That seems to have all but disappeared after the time jump.  I found it hilarious that Batman was giving Superman advice on spending time with Connor during Season 1; this version of Batman, in fact, seems far less "broken" than the versions we had previously seen in the DCAU.

On the last episode before the hiatus:
I still wonder where the writers will end up with M'gann's character.  Does she kind of go to the "dark side" in the comics?  I also found it strange that while she has incredible psychic powers, she wasn't aware that her team members were deceiving her about Artemis' "death."  I'm excited to see where all of this goes, however.

It's been shown before that she has had issues letting her emotions get in the way of her psychic powers - remember the training exercise episode?  This seems to feed almost directly from that.

For those who are fans of B:TAS and don't already own the season sets, WB released a new collection this week.  It's $15 and has 13 episodes labeled "The Best of Batman".  Now, while I question the choices (No "His Silicon Soul"?  One of my favorites.  And "Bane"?  Guh.  One of my least favorites.), on the whole, the DVD is worth it if you just want some of the best the series had to offer.

Now, if WB wanted to be awesome, they should have released a "Best of Batman" collection that had, say, some TAS, some Batman Beyond, some B:TBATB, some of The Batman, an episode or two of the old Live Action series, maybe some Super Friends or such...  The collection we got should have been named "The Best of Batman: The Animated Series"...

Also, B:TBATB Complete Season 3 came out this week.  Yay.  This has a "bonus episode" featuring the "Birds of Prey" singing about Aquaman's tiny penis that went unaired on US Television.

It looks like ****, it is better animated than the last series though, but the original 80's cartoon was beautiful, at least for the most part.

For any of you who don't frequent the Avatar: Legend of Korra thread, I recommend the show wholeheartedly. The season finale just aired and it was amazing. It's lived up to it's predecessor's reputation.

Two quick updates...

Now, if WB wanted to be awesome, they should have released a "Best of Batman" collection that had, say, some TAS, some Batman Beyond, some B:TBATB, some of The Batman, an episode or two of the old Live Action series, maybe some Super Friends or such...  The collection we got should have been named "The Best of Batman: The Animated Series"...

So... this is odd.  I finished watching this collection last night.  There are 13 episodes on the two-disk set.  12 of them are from TAS... a single epsiode is from The Batman.  But what makes it stranger - the episode they picked is the one that tells Robin' origin... and while it was a fine episode, TAS's 2-part episode telling the origin of Robin was quite a bit better - not to mention the fact that I'm pretty sure it won some award or another for being so awesome. Seems like an odd choice, but whatever. :D

Quote
Also, B:TBATB Complete Season 3 came out this week.  Yay.  This has a "bonus episode" featuring the "Birds of Prey" singing about Aquaman's tiny penis that went unaired on US Television.

Lame.  The DVD includes the edited version.  In the unedited version, when singing about Aquaman's tiny penis, the Huntress waves her pinky finger.  The edited version, the cut to a pan of a fish tank. :(

This right here is why I love the Brave and the Bold. It just doesn't give a ****. If it's funny or crazy it goes in. I mean where else are you going to see Superman's Superdickery in animated form? While focusing on Batman did constrain them a bit, I think it was done out of practical reasons. I would imagine having to recast each episode without some "Core" characters to streamline things would have been a logistical nightmare.

Post by: UncleBob on June 23, 2012, 02:13:55 PM
I wonder if the series could have worked in such a way, like...
Episode One - Batman teams up with Green Arrow.
Episode Two - Green Arrow teams up with Black Canary
Episode Three - Black Canary teams up with Zatanna
Episode Four - Zatanna teams up with Etrigan

And so on, and so forth.  Various heroes could make return appearances (for example, Green Arrow would need to come back and team up with Green Lantern!).

Anyway, I guess I can't complain too much - We got 65 episodes filled with some of the most amazing and obscure heroes and villains from within the vast history of the DC universe.

When we have another television series willing to go as wacky as BatApe or teaming Batman up as Uncle Sam in one episode, then giving us something as awesome as Chill of the Night or the entire Starro sub-plot later on... well, it just doesn't get any better than that.

What licensing hell did someone go through to pull this off? Looks like it goes generic pretty quickly though. A bit of Reboot flavor with game hopping.

Community S03 start. Much stronger opening than S02 opening. John Goodman? **** yes. "You wanted to feel real power this year. Now you're going to feel my power, straight through you from nostril to rectum, now until the end of time. And that's...'wassup'." Totally sets the tone for the season

Rob Schneider movies are better than Adam Sandler. At least Rob Schneider is actually putting in the effort and he has the whole ugly as sin pity thing going for him. Adam Sandler is literally the same asshole in every movie and he is just being himself. Rob Schneider gives a **** about acting. The Hot Chick was super weird, but damn he put some heart into it. Between the two, I would take Rob any day of the week.

As for Stallone's Dredd, I have a liking for it because it's a bit fucked in the head and Sly is just hamming it up. Had some pretty decent soecial effects. Sure, a lot of the plot and the ending didn't make much sense, it had a camp quality to it with some fantastic dialogue, but it could have done a little less Schneider, just a touch. Without Rob it would have been Sly grimacing for 96 Minutes. But it is nowhere as good as Demolition Man, now that is a classic.

Well, I wouldn't know how wolves act. It seemed realistic to me. I don't remember who had a wound that didn't affect them later. They seemed pretty bundled up so I'm not sure how they'd get hypothermia. They simply didn't survive long enough to get hypothermia. And in the context of the movie, you're supposed to pity them because they were being killed by the wolves. You can debate whether or not the wolves were realistic, but they were attacked. I'm going to pity them. And hell, they only killed one wolf. Two if you count the ending.

Post by: Morari on July 30, 2012, 10:40:34 AM
Fictional stories require a suspension of disbelief to enjoy. The more realistically you try to present your story, the harder that is. The film was shot well, and most of the actors gave pretty decent performances considering what they had to work with. Beyond that though, it was rubbish. The events were so far removed from anything even capable of happening in reality that it might as well have been about a werewolf of wendigo attack.

I don't feel pity for a character simply because they are being killed by wolves. There are far, far more humans on this planet than there are wolves. Some people, here and there, can stand to die in favor of a growing wolf population. It's especially difficult to feel any empathy when they are already scummy oil workers, some of whom are literally paid to senselessly kill wolves.

Why was Batman fighting that badguy from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and why didn't he have that brain thing (Krang?) in his stomach anymore?

Hahaha and why did he have metal nipples?

Also, why did Batman have a gun at one point?

Have you people not read Dark Knight Returns?

the original question isn't so much that why does batman have nipples as much as why doesn't he?

In the drawings of all superheroes the just look like they have their designs painted on their skin. So it looks like their missing nipples. Many times even shirtless superheroes don't have nipples.

You want Bat-nips? Watch the Joel Schumacher Batman films (Batman Forever, Batman & Robin).

Err, no. Rachel Nichols is in it so I will look out for it if and when it pops up here. Had a LOL moment when the first review on IMDB was titled: If Ayn Rand wrote SciFi, this would be it. To be honest, I read the review and this show might not be my cup of tea considering I find the political undertones utterly repugnant.

It has particularly strong political tones, but i have grown to like the show mainly because of it's slow (but decently paced) buildup. And the CGI and set design for the scenes in the future is SGU-quality.

IGN has a new interview with the director of Wreck-It Ralph (which looks really good from the trailer I saw before The Dark Knight Rises). He talks about stuff like securing rights to characters (especially tough was Nintendo, saying Bowser should be bigger and that he wouldn't drink his coffee that way). http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/06/wreck-it-ralph-creators-on-using-actual-video-game-characters

It's actually quite good. Though Shia's performance is probably his best ever, he's still only manages to be pretty good.  The real reason to watch is Tom "Bane" Hardy as his older brother and a bit part by Gary Oldman.

It appears that Mark Millar will help Fox create a "Marvel Universe" of their own, starting with the upcominmg, X-men, Wolverine and F4 reboot.


Disney, please step in and figure out a way to rewrite these contracts so that you have a chance at getting these properties back. The Avengers and made an ocean of cash, please use if for something good.

Disney has got to be able to do something about those contracts of desperation that heppened before Marvel became a wholly owned entity of the Disney Corporation. But I'm sure their lawyers are and have been working on it.

Sony and News Corp. have good lawyers too, so I think it's safe to assume that they made sure the contracts were iron-clad. The most I can see is Disney trying to get Sony's permission to use Spider-Man.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: ThePerm on September 29, 2012, 03:52:54 PM
The only way for them to keep making movies is for them to keep making spider-man movies. They could sell it back though. All that money they made off the Avengers they might as well use it to buy the movie rights to spider-man. They should offer a perpetual 10% share in profits.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on September 29, 2012, 03:56:14 PM
Why would Sony settle for 10%? The Amazing Spider-Man is currently at $751,657,162 worldwide (and still in theatres). Right now Sony would have about $380 million of that (typically theatres get about half). If Disney had it, that deal would give Sony only $75 million.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: ThePerm on September 29, 2012, 04:13:50 PM
I was saying they would buy it for whatever a movie makes $800,000,000(avengers made 1.5 billion) and then also get 10% perpetuity.

so they would get like a billion dollars now and then almost 100 million every time a spider-man movie is released. I'd call that a good deal. Its like what Robert Downey Jr. gets.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on September 29, 2012, 04:29:11 PM
But I think Sony would rather keep all the money that the movies make plus all the licensing money they get from merchandising. I just don't see Sony ever wanting to give it up unless the next movie loses money for them (which I don't see happening).

I just came across a story from last month that Fox returned DareDevil back to Marvel.

I wonder if Marvel has any plans to put something together for DD?
Unfortunately, Michael Clark Duncan can't return for KingPin, but I'm sure they have a great story and some actors in mind to fill the roles.

Who should play DD? Kingpin?
who should be the main villian, likely working for KingPin?

Disney owns Marvel Comics, so they should just finance and produce the movies themselves. They can have other companies distribute them, but those companies would have to give Disney a spot in the credits sequence.

[Example]
"Sony Pictures presents...
A Walt Disney Pictures / Marvel Studios production..."


Warner Bros. has no problems holding onto their DC Comics movie rights. So why is Disney in a tough situation?

Warner Bros. has no problems holding onto their DC Comics movie rights. So why is Disney in a tough situation?

Marvel only started making their movies themselves a few years ago (mainly because they didn't have the money to make their own movies). They used to license out their IP's to be made into movies. When Disney bought Marvel, they started trying to get the rights to their properties back, but they can only do so when contracts expire (which is why they just got the TV rights to Spider-Man back last year). The deal Marvel signed with Sony said that as long as Sony keeps making Spider-Man movies, they can keep the license. Their is nothing Disney can do about it. I think it's the same with 20th Century Fox and X-Men. But Disney has been financing and distributing the movies they have the rights too (like The Avengers). DC Comics has been owned by Warner Bros. for several decades, so didn't need to worry about licensing out their IP's since Warner Bros. just did the movies themselves.

What do you mean? Warner Bros. did release the Watchment movie (at least in the US, Paramount did it outside the US). And apparently the Watchmen situation is odd as the contract between the creators of the comic and DC basically says that DC only owns the rights as long as they keep it in print (but if it goes out of print for over a year, the rights revert to the creators).

The new 300 is actually a prequel, focused on the uprsing of Xerxes, or whatever his name was.

Hangover 2 was a rehash, but the first one was entertaining

Die Hard should have stopped after 3, 4 wasn't a turrible movie, but 5 probably shouldn't have been greenlighted.

The ONLY reason i'm excited for After Earth is (after Hancock and I Am Legend) Will Smith is doing a darker more soured style. Eddie Murphy did that in Dreamgirls as an alcoholic and he was amazing then. Comic actors make better serious actors sometimes.

Marvel Cinematic Universe is starting to get really exciting.
after Iron Man, Thor 2 and Captain America 2 (which is basically a SHIELD movie) we're getting new movies.
Guardian of the Galaxy comes just before of Avengers 2.

just after Thor 2 is a S.H.I.E.L.D. TV  show on ABC (fall 2013)

phase 3 of marvels movie plan starts off with Ant Man and then somewhere down the line is Doctor Strange.

**It's also rumored that phase 2-3 it's geared toward setting up a Hulk centric story line including a solo Hulk movie Planet Hulk and World War Hulk story wrapping up in Avengers 3.**

Hm, I really like the idea of Planet Hulk leading into a World War Hulk inspired Avengers film. I can't say I'm really all that thrilled about Ant Man (and Wasp) being seriously pursued though. I'd much rather see Doctor Strange, Vision, or the Scarlet Witch. There are others characters that I'd personally love to see, but I think their stories would be difficult to work around, like: Namor, Black Panther, and Luke Cage.

Sorry, I dictated the post through speech on my phone while driving to work, so I wasn't really able to check it. That was supposed to be after Thor 2, not Avengers 2.

I'll attempt to fix it now

Edit: and I don't read IGN, daily fix or Wired,  So I wouldn't know what was being reported, and I spoilered it for those that didn't want to know, just incase it proves to be more than a rumor.

Basically the reports are what you said, about the Hulk focused storylines. I wouldn't call them spoilers anyways, it would be like saying it's a spoiler to say that Gary Mitchell is rumored to be the antagonist of Star Trek Into Darkness.

The only live action Marvel movie that is part of this new Marvel movie universe I didn't like was Captain America: The First Avenger, and Captain America was so-so in The Avengers.

Captain America much like Superman is a somewhat polarizing character.  You either like him or you don't.

Yeah, i've never really liked him. I thought he was OK in the animate Spider-Man show on FOX in the Secret Wars arc.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Morari on February 06, 2013, 01:52:05 PM
The problem with the Captain American film was that it didn't really go anywhere. It had a fun setup, but then was nothing but battle montages for the entire second half. It all felt pretty weak once Cap liberated that first base. It didn't help that the Red Skull was woefully underdeveloped, despite the maniacal joy that Hugo Weaving played him with.

Sadly, Cap was largely useless in the Avengers. He should be the moral center of the team, commanding leadership through respect. His powers pale in comparison to many of his teammates, and only appear worse off in the air-battles that ensued in the film. He ended up being about as useless as Black Widow and Hawkeye, despite being a much more important character.

Captain American, as a character, really excelled in the Civil War arc. The scaled down, guerrilla tactics allowed his super soldier powers to shine. Likewise, his attributes as an honorable and respectable leader came through when given the chance to fight against a truly evil and tyrannical force: the American government.

Post by: nickmitch on February 09, 2013, 07:40:36 PM
I think Cyclops is a deeper character than most people give him credit for. In reality, he's really just switched roles with Wolverine, who got to be cool AND a vicious killer. Meanwhile, Cyclops HAS to be the bad guy. I haven't caught up fully (just finished AvX: Consequences last night), but I empathize with Cyclops. He'd been hunted by people wanting to kill him since he was 16, trained to be a leader, united all of mutant kind and protected them from the brink of extinction, and what does he get for it? Thrown in jail, and hated by the world even more. He sees Wolverine becoming the strong willed, moral center for mutant kind and then decides to play the opposite role: to do what it takes to protect mutant kind. Seemingly not unlike what Wolverine did with X-Force (though that was partially under Cyclops' orders).

I liked Hangover 1. My problem with the sequel was that it was too copy/paste. If they can do an original(-ish) story, then it could be good. Though, being in vegas again kinda makes me think it won't.

Star Trek is looking badass. I hope they keep this series rolling.

After Earth has me feeling indifferent. Love Big Willy Style all in it, I think his son can be OK, but those accents are questionable. I like that they assume that in 1000 years people will at least not sound like the Fresh Prince, so I can tolerate it. The plot, on the other hand. . .

Considering that a lot of summer movies release their movies at the beginning of May, like Iron Man, your argument is invalid. Though I agree that calling Olympus Has Fallen a summer movie is ridiculous.

I'm very near the end of Cheers, and it really is a fantastic sitcom. A little cliche, but a lot of the cliches are cliches that the show invented. The whole idea of a recurring on-again, off-again relationship between two characters is called a "Sam and Diane" relationship to this day.

Shelley Long leaving the show, while a blow at the time, was the best thing that ever happened to this show, as it forced them to change the dynamic, which kept the show from losing its touch. I don't think any other show that lasted 11 years was more deserving of lasting 11 years, because it was constantly changing, which allowed it to stay fresh over that whole span.

10/10

Post by: TJ Spyke on April 22, 2013, 08:25:16 PM
I love Cheers and sitcoms in general, but i've never heard of the term "Sam and Diane relationship". I wonder why the first season was so dark though (literally, it's like they only had half of the set lights on). And I hate to say it, but I think the show also got better after
Nicholas Colasanto (who played Coach) passed away and was replayed by Woody Harrelson as Woody Boyd.

Both this show and Seinfeld are examples of shows that started badly and got better ratings, something that would never happen now (the show was 77th out of 99 shows that season).

I would argue a modern example of that would be Parks & Recreation, which was downright awful in its first season but has since become one of the best shows on television.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 22, 2013, 08:34:49 PM
I meant in terms of ratings, not quality. In terms of ratings, Parks and Recreation has pretty much gotten WORSE each season. It was ranked #96 in season 1, #108 in season 2, #116 in season 3, and #134 in season 4. I'm not sure this season will be different, especially as it has the lowest season premiere since it debuted (3.5 million viewers, next lowest was the 4.11 million for the season 4 premiere).

I'm glad the show is back, but I hate that it's exclusive to Netflix. I have no intention of subscribing to it again, so I will either look for "alternative" ways to watch it online or wait for it to be on DVD.

How can anyone hate netflix? Oh wait, TJ Spyke can.

Does anyone know if their releasing the whole season at once ala House of Cards? The "You can do us back-to-back" comment makes me think so.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 25, 2013, 05:06:09 PM
Yes, the whole season will be all at once.

I don't hate Netflix, I just found myself using it so little that it was not worth the money I was spending on it. And I am not gonna re-subscribe just for one show.

Stogi, yes it's all releasing at once. Epic viewing parties will be had.

I love Netflix streaming to death. Their TV selection is truly excellent. If you're in it for movies, you might be more disappointed with it.

You guys are lucky to have the option of Netflix, we've got none of that here and I'm not sure if we'll ever get to see an actual release of this series in the near future. So I'll have to rely on "other means" to get in on this action.

The one thing that irks me about this being on Netflix is the DVD release situation. Isn't point of Netflix you can stream stuff so you don't have to buy DVDs. With that business model they're probably not running out to make DVDs for their own original series any time soon.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 25, 2013, 10:15:37 PM
Does Netflix actually own any of the series they are airing? 20th Century Fox still owns Arrested Development, Media Rights Capital owns House of Cards (Netflix is just distributing the shows). Since Fox owns the show, not Netflix, you can be sure it will eventually be released on DVD (I think it's just a question of when it will happen, since i'm sure the deal gives Netflix some sorta exclusive airing time).

Post by: tendoboy1984 on May 03, 2013, 04:15:30 AM
It's ironic that Netflix is putting so much focus on TV shows. They used to be about streaming movies and DVD rentals. So I guess now Netflix is on par with Hulu.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 03, 2013, 11:06:53 AM
Netflix says they are not focusing more on quality rather than quantity, and in a couple of days they are about to lose nearly 2,000 titles from their streaming service (including the James Bond movies and 15 seasons of South Park).
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stratos on May 03, 2013, 01:15:35 PM
Crap, South Park is going down? I never got around to watching them all. I know the Bond movies were going but now I'm worried what else is dropping. I was going to watch Stargate SG1 again with my wife but those were pulled as well. What a bummer.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 03, 2013, 03:01:12 PM
South Park Studios does have all episodes up on their website to watch, so that is still possible there.

Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 04, 2013, 12:18:44 AM
I'm perfectly fine if stuff like House of Cards and the new season of Arrested Development being there means they lose a bit of the streaming catalog, but South Park and James Bond leaving is a big hit.


EDIT: Although some of these losses are because Netflix is being outbid by rivals like Hulu. Like I said, I support Netflix's entry into original programming, and if Hulu wants to spend all its money on outbidding Netflix for things like this instead of doing original stuff of their own, that'll bite them in the long term.

The thing is that Netflix could get those shows if they wanted to, but they want to cherry pick the shows they want to carry but studios want wide-scale deals that cover multiple shows (which makes sense). And Hulu has exclusive shows too, they just aren't as well known as Netflix's shows (though I am familiar with WWE NXT, which airs on TV internationally but in the US it only airs on Hulu Plus). At the Hulu upfront a few days ago, they announced 4 new exclusive shows they will be airing:

The Awesomes: An animated superhero comedy series from Seth Myers and Michael Shoemaker (of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon)
Quick Draw: A half-hour comedy western set in 1875 about a Harvard-educated sheriff and his quest to introduce the emerging science of forensics to an unruly Kansas town.
The Wrong Mans: A story of two men in the wrong place at the wrong time who get involved in a fiant conspiracy
Behind the Masks: A reality series about the world of sports mascots at the high school, college, minor league and NBA pro levels

Unless the content providers manage to prop up a competitor to Netflix that brings in even close to as many subscribers, the strategy will fail in the long term and they'll have to come back and play by Netflix's rules.

I know they get laughed at, but Hulu Plus is continuing to grow larger and just reached 4 million subscribers. So they may become that competitor.

I just noticed that the Wii has an Amazon Video channel. I don't have an Amazon Prime deal but I had been considering the switch from Netflix to Amazon. It is cheaper in the long run. Now that we can watch Amazon videos on a TV we may do the switch. I just need to research what the different lineups are for each service. Plus getting that 2-day shipping would be handy.


What is everyone's opinions on comparing those two services?
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 04, 2013, 02:36:11 PM
If you shop ALOT on amazon, and you don't mind a much smaller selection, then you should be ok.

Netflix has a lot to offer at the price, but I don't know specifically what you would be into, nor what the exact differences in the catalogs are, so You would have to just skim through their selection and see if they what they have to offer is what you are willing to give up Netflix for.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stratos on May 05, 2013, 12:49:38 AM
The tough thing is there are shows only available exclusively on one or the other that we like.


So Amazon's selection is smaller. We may just start doing both services next year if we like enough shows on both services.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!

Post by: Halbred on May 05, 2013, 08:26:24 PM
Here's what I get annoyed about: every rental or streaming choice offers different benefits. I long for the days where Blockbuster was my only option. Were new releases too much money? Of course, but you know what? You can't GET new releases from any of the streaming services (or Redbox) for like TWO MONTHS after they come out at Blockbuster. It's ridiculous.

Blockbuster is a walking corpse. How do they still retain the kind of market power that lets them get new releases before anybody else? Why will I have to go into their shitty stores to get Superman: Unbound on Tuesday instead of going to a Redbox? What's Blockbuster got that Redbox doesn't?
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 05, 2013, 08:40:29 PM
Blockbuster got a little injection of life after DirecTV bought them. Redbox also has struck deals with studios to get new releases sooner than Netflix (it depends on the studio, each one has different deals and some let Redbox get titles the same day as they release).
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on May 05, 2013, 09:17:05 PM
I think studios just hate Netflix and only play(ed) ball because they have (had) to.

But Blockbuster might just simply be giving them better deals. But I don't worry about the time thing anyway because there's always gonna be something else I wanna watch.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 05, 2013, 09:21:48 PM
To be fair, Netflix could go out to a store and physically buy copies of movies and then rent those out. The 30 day deals with studios just means the studios wont ship copies to Netflix.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stratos on May 05, 2013, 11:16:10 PM
Are you sure? I thought that you have to get some sort of licencing deal to be able to rent out movies or else it's some sort of copyright law violation. Just like you can't technically do free showings of films in the park on a big screen without a studio OK.

Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television

I'm a little excited for this.

here is a sample of what the show could be like: Avengers Extra - "Item 47" (http://www.videolog.tv/video?817951)

now imagine appearances for D-list Marvel heroes and villians (possibly even a TV version of Spiderman, because Sony only has the Movie rights. ;) ), season finales that lead right into spin-off movies for lower-tier characters.

This show could be a launching platform for lots of Marvel things going forward, such as direct to TV movies, lead ins to big theater movies with superhero/villian introductions, origins and story archs.

I just hope the show is successful.

edit:
a few guest appearances and recalls from earlier movies also wouldn't hurt: The Consultant (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xkteut_the-consultant-marvel-short-film_shortfilms#.UY586spXIqI)

As proof that NBC is in really, truly, beyond terrible shape, they thought it was beneficial to them to pick up Parks & Recreation and Community for their sixth and fifth seasons respectively. While I think they've each lost a step, they're still better than just about anything else on television right now as far as comedy goes.

S1 plods a little bit but by the end it starts to ramp up. S2 is pretty great with some amazing acting from her later on.

I do want to ask though, is it me or does the suit feel a lot like a sonic screwdriver?

Orphan Black is fantastic. The lead actress has to carry the show, almost literally, and she knocks it out of the park despite the amount of work she has to do.

Yes and no.  Its an almost do all McGuffin, except she has a lot of built in stuff as well without the suit.  Unlike the Screwdriver though at least it makes sense in its own way.

So it has been confirmed that William Fichtner (who to me is best known as playing Agent Alexander Mahone on seasons 2-4 of Prison Break, but also voiced Ken Rosenberg in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) will be playing Shredder in the new Michael Bay TMNT movie. Odd choice, but I like him as an actor. Still, the changes Bay is doing to the Turtles makes me not too happy.

Really reminiscent of golden age animation stuff.

Nice of Disney doing something with their supposed mascot.

It's hilarious and very, very, very sad to see some ignorant people thinking stuff like

has no place in Mickey Mouse. Yeah, let's forget 70+ years worth of animation legacy.

Yay! Disney is finally making animated shorts again (without the help of Pixar)! I hope Disney stays true to the characters and doesn't try to "modernize" them like WB did with The Looney Tunes Show...


Now when is Warner Bros. going to revitalize their animation division? They can't compete with Disney or DreamWorks with the current crappy shows they have on TV. They need to bring back the following:

- Animaniacs
- Pinky & The Brain
- Tiny Toons
- classic Looney Tunes (in the style of Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng)
 
And why isn't WB doing anything with their ownership of MGM's and Hannah-Barbara's cartoon proprties? I've had enough of Scooby Doo. Where are the new Droopy and Screwey Squirrel cartoons? Tex Avery's madcap and zany style needs to return.
 
And no more dumbing down Tom & Jerry. I need my violent slapstick comedy, damn it!

Somehow Ultron is happening before the Antman movie....

Maybe the original rumor of Antman being a flashback movie is right, maybe Antman debut is actually during The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

I've only read so much on Ultron, and I saw all of EMH with it's Ultron Arc, and there is rumor that Vin Diesel is signed on and he is standing infront of "Giant Man" as some sort of clue. Could he be Antman? Ultron? Vision?
who knows. But Marvel is on a roll right now, so I'm blindly on board till they severely disappoint.

If you folks like the more serious Batman animated shows, keep an eye on Beware the Batman. It's 2 episodes in right now and it's more than a little rough, but the 1st 2 episodes at least are showing some real promise. So far, it's a far better show than its own trailers made it look.

Having just watched X-Men First Class, I think I have finally hit burnt out on Super Hero movies. It didn't help it was yet another origin story and again never resolves anything. I don't mind the animated ones since they get to the meat and is less mainstreamed.

Pacific Rim is on my list. It's something different. I mean how long has it been since there has been a Kaiju movie in theaters.

Crosstawk Comics (http://www.crosstawk.com/newbusiness/2012/12/20/crosstawk-comics-episode-19.html) has an episode about The Guardians of the Galaxy to give you familiarity with the franchise.

For more on Ultron, the main Marvel U just went through an Ultron arc of the same name.

My, someone at the Examiner has no ****ing idea who The Flash is.  ::)   And seriously, why Aquaman? I know he can be a serious character, as he was in Justice League with the grappling hook for a hand. My problem with the character is that I've only ever seen him in 2 different modes: either he's a laughable moron (Brave & the Bold, Superfriends), or he's an almost completely unlikeable asshole (Justice League, Injustice: Gods Among Men).  I can't say I'd want to see either in a Justice League movie.  I'd rather have the Martian Manhunter or Hawkgirl.

I'd be surprised if we'll see either of the Hawks.  Could be wrong, but... I *would* love to see the Hawkworld mini-series brought to film though.

I think an Aquaman film, as a stand-alone project, *could* be promising...  Just not sure how I feel about him just popping up in a Justice League movie.

I figure they'll put Cyborg in the movie.  They've been pushing him as a major member of the Justice League of late and it would give the movie some diversity.

Aquaman is the outsider of Justice League for the most part.  He does his own thing but is reliable enough that if needed he can be counted on though he is never a rank and file member.  I don't think I want him in a movie either.

Ok, so now I've seen the Guardians of the Galaxy on Earth's Mightiest Heroes & now on the latest episode of Ultimate Spider-man s2e18 and it has me really skeptical of this movie. I sincerely hope these characters have a whole lot of character, because I'm not sold on it so far.
I sincerely hope this movie is awesome, and i hope to be HYPED enough for an opening weekend watch, but this just seems like the movie where maybe Marvel went too far.

Between Rocket and Groot, and then Starlord appearing to not actually being anything special outside of his gun... I'm just not sure what to make of this team of "Super(?)" Heroes.

Luthor 3

Gaping plotholes (Benny who knows Alice very well, and met her personally, now can't tell her apart from Mary?). Reused premise from previous two seasons (Luther -- Jack Bauer style escapes from internal investigations and in the end saves everyone while working underground).

It's still Idris Elba though. So it's at least worth a watch.

(This is fan art, but still good for speculation. They did imply Ultron will be a creation of the current Avengers...)

Now speculate.

Where will Antman fit into all this? Will Ultron be a corrupted version of Jarvis?
If Tony destroyed all his suits, where did this one come from? (he didn't destroy them all...? shocker!)

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 01, 2013, 02:00:59 AM
it was confirmed that Antman won't be in Avengers 2 and Ultron is a creation of the current Avengers.
It was either implied or speculated that Stark tech is responsible for Ultron (Iron man Armor{s} & Jarvis?)

What I asked was "Where does Antman fit into all of this (since he is unlikely to have anything to do with creation of Ultron)?"
Will Ultron be Jarvis' evil alter ego?
and and the last question was more based on the picture implying that Ultron is Ironman Armor or created by Ironman.

With some luck, Antman doesn't fit in anywhere. He's a terrible character and so is Wasp.

Well, if Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is any indication, Wasp can be a pretty decent character ("Check it Out! I'm riding a horse!  THROUGH SPACE!" "Hulk, Smash Him!"), especially when she's playing off of Hulk.  I find Ant man incredibly bland, though.

What little I've seen shows a bit of a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" vibe, with Fox playing himself and a bit of a self-deprecating style.

The Expendables 3 cast is still changing.

Looks like Stalone dropped Willis, calling him greedy and lazy (also see recent Kevin Smith article on the subject) and picked up Harrison Ford as his replacement.

I just hope this movie better than the last one, which was fun, but cheezy and nostalgic for 80's babies like me that grew up watching these guys in all the big action movies.

Remember when Vin Diesel said he had a meeting with Marvel and then posted a pic of him infront of the Avengers pointing almost at Giant/Ant-man?

Well he updated his facebook page:

Apparently not 1, but 2 Guardians of the Galaxy trailers were leaked today (there has been quite a few photos from filming in London). I can't find the trailer yet, but I'm looking.

But here is a clip of Rocket Raccoon

I didn't properly label it. But I edited the trailer into my previous post.
There were 2 shorter versions, but that's the whole 30 second clip as far as I could tell.

Edit:
Her are two more clips from the original leaked trailer.

Quote from: Vin Diesel
As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice, and sometimes, the best thing you can do — as far as Steven Spielberg and his advice — is to defy expectations. So if everybody thinks you’re going to go for this one thing and you flip it entirely and go for the strangest Marvel character, it’s interesting. And when something is interesting, it’s inspiring.

That’s the thing — I’m so busy. The audience wanted Vin and Marvel, Vin and Marvel. But I’m too busy to do a six-month role. So what Marvel came up with was really interesting. … I am watching a social wave influence and in some ways guide their thinking.

Could end up being good (or at least good looking tee-hee!), but seems like a bad choice. Unless he starts working out he's gonna look like a bitch compared to Henry Cavill (or Christian Bale when he played Batman). Even his brother Matt Damon probably would have been a better choice (and would probably actually be a good choice). But I guess if Chris Evans gets to be Human Torch and Captain America, then Dare Devil can be Batman?

Looks like Bradley Cooper is set to join the list of stars in the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy

http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/bradley-cooper-guardians-of-the-galaxy-marvel-movie-casting/

Sounds like he will be the voice of Rocket Raccoon.

Cooper would also be the final addition to the now filming James Gunn-directed pic. He would join Chris Pratt, Benicio del Toro, Zoe Saldana and Glenn Close among others. As I reported earlier this month, Van Diesel is talking to Marvel too about coming on board to GOTG.

Heath Ledger had the Christoper Nolan factor.

I just think he was a terrible joker that was obvious. People only say he was great cuz he died. He was a shitty ass joker, he was a great villain, a great psychopath but a shitty ass JOKER.

Exactly my thoughts. He did great as a villain for that universe, but as Joker, meh. Maybe the issue was Nolans vision for Joker and not the actor. What worries me about BA is that he WILL be Batman for every movie related to the DCU. The Batman character is essential, they can't pull a Hulk like Marvel did.

He needs to commit to a Boston accent as Batman. I'd see that.

Anyone else as hyped for Godzilla (2014) as I am? Gareth Edwards is the director. He directed "Monster," which is great, but nobody saw it because it had no budget. From the glimpses of Godzilla they've shown, including prototype conceptual maquettes, they're sticking with the Toho design (THANK CHRIST). It's got a pretty all-star cast, including Elizabeth Olson, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, and Juliet Binoche. I am pretty irritated that they haven't released the film's 2013 Comic-Con teaser to the Internet.

I think it's due out in May. Pretty stoked. I see Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" playing during the theatrical trailer.

And also me squealing like a schoolgirl.

Daredevil sucked because Daredevil was a bad movie. Ben Affleck was fine in that role. Heath Ledger's Joker was Nolan's interpretation, and I liked it. It was different and fit that universe. I don't see how you could say it was a bad "Joker".

I think Affleck could be really good. I think he'd make a great Bruce Wayne. I thought Clooney was decent at Bruce Wayne because billionaire playboy is right in his range. But the Bat-nipples kinda cancelled that out. Anyway, I hope they characterize the character better. I'd like to see "the world's greatest detective" and the genius inventor that Batman is in the books for once. If this is supposed to be a fight, the Batman they've had and the Superman they have is quite the mismatch.

So Hollywood reporter is that Affleck is has been going to the gym two hours a day. Also dude is signed for mutiple films and has the possability to direct the Batman or Justice League films.


Honestly if he does well (the movie well no matter what) this is going to shoot him into RDJ type of money. He's already became the toast of hollywood in his later life after having a decent starting carrer and than fading away.

Given Samuel L Jackson had a nine(i think?) appearance contract he will only pop up for like a few minutes at a time across quite a few movies.

So Hollywood reporter is that Affleck is has been going to the gym two hours a day. Also dude is signed for mutiple films and has the possability to direct the Batman or Justice League films.

He hasn't made a big budget movie yet so i'd hope he'd gain some experience first before directing a Batman/Justice League movie (like what Christopher Nolan did before attempting to make Inception).

But Nick Fury can bounce in and out of other characters' stories because that's how he rolls. Unless they're doing a JLI movie too, I don't why you need that much Batman.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: UncleBob on August 25, 2013, 11:07:47 AM
I could see Batman doing a Fury-esque thing where he has studied the various heroes and meta-humans that have started popping up to determine who would be best to form a team to face some threat that he knows is coming.

Also, Martian Manhunter Film Noir movie, please.  Do it on the down low, fairly low budget, no-name actors, don't even reveal the fact that its a Martian Manhunter movie until a post-credits tease.  Just have the main character do seemingly weird stuff that, while you're watching the movie you don't really give a lot of thought to, but once you figure out he's the Martian Manhunter, you re-watch the movie and have a whole different understanding of what just happened and why the main character seems so distant and strange.

Post-credits tease is the detective we've been following enters his apartment.  Takes off his hat, sits it down on a small table, then reaches up towards the light switch.... but pauses.  He turns towards the shadows and says "You might as well come out now." and BAMN the dark silhouette of BATMAN appears, flowing forth seamlessly from the shadows.  His gravely voice... "We need to talk."  Cut back to the detective, we see him walking from the right side of the frame, to the left.  "I suppose we do," he says.  His shadow grows behind him, as he walks off-frame.... then shifts from the shadow of the detective to the shadow of the pointy-headed Martian Manhunter.  End

Stealth release movie of the century.  Make it happen, Warner Bros.

This site states that Affleck only agreed if he has some control over the script.
so according to this, Affleck is now part of the Snyder/Goyer think tank at WB

http://blogs.indiewire.com/thompsononhollywood/be-affleck-is-the-new-batman-in-snyders-superman-batman

Quote
Snyder approached Affleck months ago, reports THR. Affleck would not take on this role unless he had some say in how this script turns out. He will have a strong hand at Warner Bros., which backed him on "The Town" and the Oscar-winning "Argo" and is invested in telling the town he's sticking around the studio. Affleck signed for multiple pictures. If this works out he'll have a major franchise to play with for years ahead. And a major studio where he can hang his hat, as his hero Clint Eastwood has done for decades.
Quote
According to Warner Bros.:

    "Affleck and filmmaker Zack Snyder will create an entirely new incarnation of the character in Snyder’s as-yet-untitled project—bringing Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen and continuing the director’s vision of their universe, which he established in 'Man of Steel.'"
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on August 25, 2013, 03:04:04 PM
I didn't really care for Snyder's Superman. That worries me more about this whole thing than Affleck being Batman. In 'Man of Steel' the character whose name is the title had the least amount of personality. I worry about how the rest of the characters will be interpreted and integrated in to his universe.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 25, 2013, 03:11:12 PM
People more opinionated than me seem to think that Davis Goyer is more the problem.
People seem hopeful that Affleck will be able to fix the dialog at the very least going forward even if they don't think he was the best choice for Batman, they hope he was a good choice for improving this film over what it likely would have been.

edit:
Personally, even though I though MoS was entertaining, it really wasn't all that great and I expect Supes vs Bats to be a glorious mess of a film, a let down of epic proportions, but hopefully successful enough to greenlight the total hot mess that will be Justice League.
But then again, I really doubt DC's ability to create a universe as Marvel has, as their approach doesn't seem to be nearly as well thought out and planned as Marvel's, but I also don't really know of or like many DC characters outside of Batman and maybe 1 or 2 others. I've been a Man of Marvel since I knew what comics were, so I'm biased and not afraid to admit it.

On the other hand, I would love to see the DCCU be successful and actual pull this feat off in a similar fashion to Marvel. I would love nothing more than to eat crow on the next Supes and the future JL movie, but I don't think that's likely at this point. We'll have to wait for the first trailer, or at least a script review.

Yeah, the whole JL thing just feels forced. It's like, they were waist deep in this Nolan Trilogy, and Marvel Movie Universe just blew the **** up. DC had to follow suit, but Nolan's thing seems like was only meant to be self-contained. So, now we have a half-assed franchise building on top of a bad movie after having one of the best trilogies ever.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 25, 2013, 08:19:33 PM
The Nolanverse Batman was definitely self-contained.

can you imagine that Batman standing up to the likes of Superman or Green Latern?

He would have needed to get a whole lot more clever/smarter/intellectual and have a whole new set of toys based on tech they hadn't even thought of yet. He also would need to learn how to fight....

I liked the Dark Knight Trilogy, but I don't hold it in high regards like others, it was good, but it certainly isn't the Batman we need for a Bat/Supes team-up movie.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on August 25, 2013, 08:25:56 PM
Especially if Batman is supposed to fight him and win. They need to play up the fact that Batman is a genius. Movie goers see him as just a rich guy in a rubber suit, but he's so much more than that. And Superman is over-powered. The film had him in an environment that was supposed to null his powers and he just overcame it because he's Superman. How do you establish a Batman capable of beating that in a Superman movie? Especially when you haven't even developed Superman.

Yahoo gives praise to Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Official Website: http://www.agentsofshield.com/ (http://www.agentsofshield.com/)

Yahoo's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Preview (http://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/fall-tv/fall-tv-s-new-shows--hits-and-misses--surprises-and-disappointments-221305965.html)
Quote
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC; premieres Sept. 24

You've assumed it was going to be awesome, right? Well then, breathe a sigh of relief, because indeed it is. With brothers Whedon (Joss and Jed, along with Jed's wife Maurissa Tancharoen) behind the series, this first Marvel foray into live-action TV is, well, action-packed, full of great Whedon-y dialogue (they even poke fun at the organization's name), and features the return of Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), who was killed off in "The Avengers." So, what is the org in this "Avengers" spinoff? A group of smart, but not super-powered, heroes who help thwart the evildoing of Marvel universe baddies. In other words, TV land may be safe from uber-villains, but not from wise-cracking, tech-savvy geeks. Thank goodness.

edit: and the trailer one more time for those that haven't seen it yet

Fox orders 13 episodes of Commissioner Gordon

It's a Gotham City origin story before there was a Batman.
Maybe they will do with this show what they didn't with Smallville and convert it to the superhero show when the time is right.

I'm sure they would want to find someone younger, maybe mid-to late 30's to play a younger more active Gordon still on the beat trying to clean up the streets.
Probably taking on Crime Bosses/Families during a point in time when Bruce was still going to opera's with his parents.

But it would be nice if a plot point, or flashback was the murder of the Waynes about 13 years ago and how that pushed Gordon to get out there and clean the streets up for good before all of Gotham was taken over by gutter trash and corruption.
We will probably see an up and coming Harvey Dent just starting his political career and references to all sorts of characters from the Modern day Batman gallery of evil before they were so evil.

I felt AoSHIELD didn't do what I hoped and that was leave me too excited to wait for more.

But I feel it was entertaining enough to tune in repeatedly to see if it gets better.
It was good, but not great. It was fun, and a little funny, and the characters seem like they may grow on you as there was lots of room for expansion and improvement.

It deserves atleast 2-3 more episodes before a final verdict, I think.

But I am a Marvel man, and I loved The Avengers & the MCU, but that's exactly what they are hoping for in their audience.

This show... I just don't know.  It's still set to record on my DVR... but if they don't step it up a notch or three, it's not going to last more than a season, I tell you what.

Agents of SHIELD had a bad Pilot.  Lets be honest.  Their is a good deal of Potential their that they hit at but this pilot was a lot of World Setting ultimately.  I don't think its a good indication of anything with the show.  The next episode I think is the one where we are going to really show what this show is going to be.

Most Whedon Pilots are bad though. Go back and watch the pilots for Angel, Buffy, and Dollhouse. The only pilot that was good was Firefly and that was the show that got cancelled early.

NBC is working on a Constantine show for next fall. It makes sense with how much DC has been pushing John in the comics since canceling Hellblaze.

That's 3 new DC shows for next year, but only 1 of them may be connected to the DCCU

The Flash
Gotham Central (or whatever it was called)
Constantine

Based on what I know of Constantine, all from the movie, it could make for a good supernatural TV series.
Gotham could also be interesting depending on what direction they take it and who the villians are.
The Flash has been done before, and it didn't pan out too well. But this time it may tie into an overall larger DCU that will also include Arrow, and who knows... maybe the movie universe too.

I know DC is frothing at the mouth to get to that MCU/Avengers money and are really watching closely to how AoS pans out into tying the Big screen to Silver screen for 1 giant all inclusive live action Marvel Universe.

Well Arrow and The Flash are already connected. Arrow is already has been doing major world building during the tail end of season I and the now with season 2. DC is doing too much world building that mirrors the comics to not connect the shows and movies together. I know people complain about having TV actors on screen but honestly its cheaper and its not like superhero movies require that much better acting. Plus Avengers biggest assest was a TV dude.

Well Marvel's approach was much more coherent.

DC should have spun Smallville into Metropolis.
Got that Gotham City show that was in the works off the ground (it was a Bruce Wayne version of Smallville).
Smallville already started a version of Justice league, so it was just a matter of spinning a few more shows and then doing a Made for TV Mini-series involving them all, then spin it off into Blockbuster movies.

DC's current approach seems much more disconnected and more of an afterthought with no real planning ahead. Kinda feeling it out as they go. They aren't even keeping their projects in house and airing it on their own network (CW is theirs I think) where they have absolute control over expectations, budget and planning.

Marvel's approach had an outline, there was a plan and they executed it. They had a long term goal in mind and every movie is working towards that. Now they have an interconnected TV show that may spawn off a few more TV shows (if rumors and chatter are to be believed) and they are all connected to an ever expanding universe that has a baseline connected to the Big Screen.

I've never been a DC fan, but I really just don't see their approach working out nearly as well as Marvel's since DC is creating puzzle pieces before the know if they are going to fit and then forcing them into the current puzzle afterwards (assuming the TV shows will be connected to the DCCU of MoS and MoS2:BvS)

I just don't understand Warner Bros.  They've got *the* most memorable comic book super heroes.  They've got one of the largest movie power houses.  They've got a rich history of characters that spans over 50 years.

Yet, they can't get their movie **** together.  At least their animation rules. :D
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on September 28, 2013, 11:46:34 PM
Even their Animation is all unconnected.

They have only been interested in doing singular stories. They haven't been thinking big enough.
Hell, they won't even let their animation people near the movie nor TV people.
With how good their animation has been on average, you would think you would want some of the animation people consulting on storyline at the very least.

edit: They probably could have helped Green Lantern... assuming none of them had any involvement with that turd.

Warner Brothers has always been like that. They're like Microsoft in that all of different divisions up until recently had no sort of work as a unit. One of the big reasons that Green Lantern and Young Justice got screwed was because of in fighting between DC and Cartoon Network had some in fighting.

Problem with smallville was the last 4 seasons were exactly what you mentioned and the cast got tired of it. There's a season 11 comicbook which is pretty damn awesome though. Also its impossible for Warner Bros too put nothing but DC shows on the other Networks. I'm a DC fanboy but I'd be pissed if Hart of Dixie was canceled for a fucking Batman show. As far as the Green Lighting of different Projects they probably don't have any real coherent idea yet (Marvel didn't during the first few films either.) But from a storytelling perspective its pretty coherent as most seem to be following not only the general mythos but in general the New 52.

On that note Arrow season II seems to be upping the DC Universe Push and it would be good time to combine everything. So far for this season we have

The Flash
Black Canary
Sin
The League of Assissans
Bronze Tiger
Professor Ivo
Amanda Waller
suicide Squad

Funny thing is, for the most part, I'd rather watch their unconnected animation (Beware the Batman aside... this show just really isn't doing it for me) over most of the Marvel movies (which I do like, but the DC Animated Films are just awesome).

I'd be okay if Warner Bros. just did a bunch of unconnected DC Films, as long as they did them well.  Man of Steel was a fun movie, but wasn't really on par with the Marvel films.  The Batman Trilogy was great (even if the third one... was what it was).  Green Lantern is what happens when you let people who don't really know the material handle the film.  Seriously, I don't even know what they were thinking... with the full, rich history of the GL universe, they adapted one of the worst ideas from the comic and did a piss-poor job at that.  While the entire "The Avengers" was fun, I'd seriously be happy if WB just made good super hero movies that aren't Batman.

There Animation will probably be never connected again. DCAU was a once in a life time thing that will only be replicated by the suckfest of Cartoon's Marvel is currently doing. (I'm salty as hell over AEMH).

Now DC really only looks to be having two ongoing series and Direct to TV animation films with the names Batman, Justice League, or Superman on them.

I enjoyed Man of Steel more than any of the Marvel movies expect captain America. Green Lantern is a weird ass movie when they had Geoff Johns consulting and the movie still became what it was.

While the entire "The Avengers" was fun, I'd seriously be happy if WB just made good super hero movies that aren't Batman.

I'd settle for good Superhero TV shows too.

Smallville had so much potential in the early years (s1-3) and should have gotten to the events in s8-10 much sooner. It also would have been better if they weren't afraid of depicting Superman on 
the small screen so much and just let the show evolve into the show it was trying so hard not be.

Aquaman was rumored and made fun of for so long (Entourage)

Bruce Wayne had a show in the works

The Flash was done back in the early 90's

DC doesn't even know it, but they could have had the superhero market all wrapped up if they had gotten it together. Marvel was in a state of desperation and DC had WB as a parent company, wth movie studios, animation studios and TV networks. If they had thought outside of the box 13+ years ago, they would own the market.

They were already killing it with B:TAS and S:TAS and several other DC animated cartoons, but if they had just made them all piece of the same pie, it makes all the other shows part of your optional, but highly recommended and almost required watching.

The DCAU was incredible.  Starting with Batman and Superman, and then a cross-over, and then Batman Beyond tying it, Justice League, and Static Shock. I wish they would go for that again. The opportunity was there with Teen Titans and again with Young Justice. Both squandered.

The show kept trying to up the stakes for the sidekicks instead of just giving them fun adventures to go on. And the time jump was WAAY too early in the life of the show.

What that show really needed was a companion show in the same universe.

But the point of the show wasn't watching them go on fun adventures. That was Teen Titans point of existence. Young Justice was about the more serious fare about what its like to be a Teenage superhero in that sort of universe. Its takes its setting ques from the New Teen Tiitans by Wolfman/Perez (A series where Deathstroke sleeps with an underage girl anf than murders her), as well as the Geoff Johns Teen Titans run.

My biggest beef was that during the second season the good guys were shown to be perpetually incompetent, with the writers having an obsession of how awesome lex is.

To me, the focus was always on them being caught up in some "big event". The first season was all "villains lose, but secretly still win" and then the big plan was revealed and the kids had to step up again. "Fun adventures" was the wrong word. But the show definitely needed smaller plots that still tied in to the the theme you mentioned. It felt like the show was out-scaling itself.

Young Justice should have emphasized the Hero in Training side of things.  They did not.  Instead we had Justice League Lite.

Flash... Well I would enjoy a show about Flash for a bit but he is such a different character when he's alone in his Mythos and lore than the other heroes.  Much more of an Everyman hero he's hard to get right.

YJ is worse than that. It is JL lite with nothing but teenage angst which never make for good drama. The only character I like out of that show is Megan. She is the only character with any depth while everyone else is a cardboard cut out of their originals with **** on their foreheads.

The show should have been about them training and growing out of their teenage angst phase. Not about dealing with increasingly larger and more contrived plots that go nowhere while upping the angst. Mainline villians should be kicking their ass or ignoring them. This show seriously needed small stories where there isn't some overarcing conspiracy to nuke the planet. Have them fighting a big bad for a season finale is fine since you need a big punch up once in a while, but the story arcs should have been about character growth. Most of the best episodes from BTAS/STAS/JLU where either small stories or about side characters.

The original Teen Titans had just enough camp, and plenty of smaller stories. The fights with the big bads were that much more exciting for it. When Slade would show up, it'd be an "OH ****" moment, and not an "Oh, this guy again" moment.

Ant Man?

Yep, and pre-production starts this month.

I hear the action in The Worlds Ends was spectacular, so I have high hopes for this movie's action sequences. and if the leaked test footage (http://vimeo.com/62301418) is anything to go by, it should at the very least be quite interesting.
Ant man movie would FAIL!
Think... ant man and wasp were founding avengers (wasp Named THEM) how would they introduce them?
I just hope wolverine and the black panther are in the next movie

Wolverine is HIGHLY doubtful. I think it's more likely that we would see Spiderman first... but I'm not so sure about that as we don't what the Spider-man Quad-rilogy is going to turn out to be.

Black Panther is rumored to have a Phase 3 movie alongside Dr. Strange.
So Antman won't be the only newcomer post Avengers 2

Two bits of Marvel news.

Guardians of the Galaxy has wrapped it's shooting. On to CGI and editing now.
I hoping a trailer gets attached to the beginning of Thor as well and it was rumored that The Collector - who is a villain in GotG - will be in the post credits of Thor 2
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/10/14/guardians-of-the-galaxy-has-wrapped


Casting of the role of Ant-man has narrowed down to 2 choices.
who would you rather see being directed by Wright as Hank Pym?
1.) Paul Rudd    or    2.) Joseph Gordon Levitt

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/paul-rudd-joseph-gordon-levitt-ant-man-1200724612/
Quote
Sources tell Variety that the two actors who have emerged as front-runners to land the title role in the superhero feature are Joseph Gordon Levitt and Paul Rudd. Insiders say there is still a possibility another actor could emerge but as of now, Gordon-Levitt and Rudd are the main contenders the role.

Marvel recently moved up the release date of the comic-book feature to July 31, 2015 and Wright, following his vacation, tweeted Ann pre-production photo of the Ant-Man character, which has since reignited the anticipation that an actor would be attached shortly.

The two choices are certainly interesting. Wrights appears to want more of a normal looking actor for the role with some sort of wise-cracking personality rather than a beefed up action hero like Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans.

Sources indicate the two are expected to meet with Marvel execs and Wright one more time before a decision is made and that there’s also a possibility of one more actor being added into the mix.

I wouldn't mind either, but if they are taking a more comedic approach... even though I think they could both pull it off fine, I would lean more towards Paul Rudd. But then again, I don't know much of anything about Ant-Man.

Ant-man is known for creating Ultron something they're taking away from him to put stark in the spotlight.


They're are three Ant-men and this one is probably going to be hank pym. Hank Pym is the dude who's just as smart as everyone else in the room but gets put down by the top men and as a child was taught not to build anything creative and focus his talents on pratical gear. The one time he did give into creation dude made a Killer Robot that is one of the avengers biggest enemies.


Plus getting Ant-man into the mix will be the Marvel cinematic's universe first real foray into Super Science. (thought Extremis probably counts as well)


which means we could get a Varation of this in A3

Also in marvel news Marvel is prepping mini series to further their universe.

I sincerely hope that they do some of the grittier things on a network like Netflix that would release them all at once. Something like a Blade continuation starring Snipes, The Punisher continuation/reboot starring Thomas Jane.
There was planning for a show based on Alias, and another one based on Heroes for Hire some time ago. No idea if maybe those were resurrected.

Daredevil is a candidate, since Marvel said recently that they had no plans to make a movie out of that property anytime soon (or something like that). An L&O meets Batman style show might be good.

I hear Ghost Rider is back at Marvel, but I'm not sure how a TV series about that would go. Might be kinda like an effects heavy Supernatural show I guess.

He can still create Vision, and the creation of Ultron may be credited to Stark in the upcoming Avengers movie, but supposedly Pym has already been reference in the 1st Thor movie, so he could still have a hand in it, even if he is only referenced by name this time.

Announcing him, by name, as a co-creator/responsible party in A2 would be a perfect lead-in for his own movie. I'm sure the only reason he wasn't able to be the creator of Ultron in the MCU is because of Wrights schedule and not being able to get the movie out in a timely fashion due to other commitments.

Paul Rudd is the man, but so is JGL. JGL is Robin (or Batman?) though, so by default he can't be Antman. Yes, Human Torch can be Captain America...but DareDevil is also Batman, so I guess that standard doesn't work. Whatever.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 14, 2013, 11:50:17 PM
Well in this case, Robin has been rumored as a possible Dr. Strange (https://www.google.com/search?q=JGL+for+Dr+Strange&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb), so we trade DareDevil to be their Batman and take their Robin to be our Dr. Strange..... strange right.

But then again "Deadpool" became the Green Lantern, so really, Marvel is owed 2.
Robin is possibly just the first.

In Young Avenger and another continuity Iron Man actually make Ultron so their is precedence.  I prefer Hank doing it because of his connection with the Wasp and it give it this whole weird family vibe.  Especially if Vision is made by Ultron.

First 3 minutes of tonites episode (ep4) of Agents of SHIELD


I find it funny that they obviously just filmed it in public, as you can see all the people trying to capture whats going on on their cellphone cameras. 1 guy even jumps into the shot and interacts with the actors.

and then BAM, something unexpected happens. there is a severed hand on the floor.

If I hadn't already planned to be in for the full season of Agents of shield it would have failed the three episoide litmus test and would have been relegated to next years Netflix binge. There's a good chance i'm looking at the show and expecting too much a guy who reada comics but this show isn't just not what I expected but it has no actual hook to keep people coming. But its going to succed on the Marvel name.


Your in the Marvel Universe and this is the only story telling Avenue with the expection of a movie or two every year for fucks sake. Even with TV as a medium there's a **** ton that can be done with the concept.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 15, 2013, 11:50:24 AM
 They've got 22 hour long episodes to fill in the first season. I imagine they are trying to not blow their load too soon, but yes, they need that over-arching plot leading towards a defined Big Bad sooner rather than later. Hopefully they establish that during this episode.

Right now it's a bunch of team building episodes with thin sub plot strings running through them.
There needs to be a clear objective that is trying to be achieved, such as secure certain artifacts in a race against HYDRA before they can assemble a weapon that is sure to alter modern civilization, with a side plot of trying to subdue the re-emergence of AIM as they are trying to kidnap brilliant scientist from all fields of study all over the world. In between will be a few movie hyping/tie-in episodes that usually have special guest appearances from the movie (Agents, Heroes, Villains, etc).

I assume they are getting there, but they could ramp it up a little sooner, as I see lots of people tuning out as they are not exactly getting what they were hoping for.

Post by: Ceric on October 15, 2013, 12:13:59 PM
I really don't want the Ultimate weapon Over-Arching theme.  Those rarely end well.  The Rising Tide thing is suppose to be the overarching plot thing.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 15, 2013, 12:45:23 PM
well they need to dive into it a little quicker.

it's no more than background static at this point.
and those were just examples, not suggestions.
If Rising Tide is going to lead to something HUGE, then great, but they could turn up the heat on it a little. I know we are only about to be 4 episodes in, but this show has the potential to be the central HUB of all things MCU related and therefore needs to succeed.

And as a Marvel fan, I want nothing more out of Marvel than to be able continue to give me my Marvel fix in a medium that I can continue to enjoy with minimum investment (I stopped reading comics when I was in my early teens, have no plans on going back now). Bringing all these characters to life in live action format is amazing, and it's even more amazing that they are connecting them all in the same universe instead of stand-alone isolated projects. So for me AoS means alot more in the long term than the Saturday Morning family show aired on a Tuesday Night that it has been dressing itself up as in the first 3 episodes. I've enjoyed all 3 episodes so far, but I really just want this show to find it's groove and it's audience and settle in for exciting and successful series of Marvel related craziness.
The success of this show is what leads to the reality of that 60 episode/4 shows and a mini-series that Marvel is pitching right now.

and speaking of that, anyone care to take a guess at what the 4 shows and the Mini-series will be?
or what you want them to be?
I ran across this article when looking for shows Marvel mentioned were coming to TV:
http://comicsalliance.com/alias-hulk-cloak-dagger-abc/ (http://comicsalliance.com/alias-hulk-cloak-dagger-abc/)  (Alias - aka Jessica Jones; The Hulk; Cloak and Dagger; Mockingbird)
I assume some or most of those would stay with ABC and wouldn't be part of the 60 ep 4/1 deal

1. The Punisher
2. Daredevil
3. Blade?
4. Heroes for Hire?
Mini Series - ?

If they're doing this style than they should brand it Marvel Knights to seperate it from the films, one shots, and TV shows.


Marvel Knights Punisher
Marvel Knights Daredevil
Marvel Knights Ghost Rider
Marvel Knights Blade


I'm not exactly sure how Marvel plans to do magical characters seeing how in this universe the asgardians are just aliens.

Hulk is rumored to be getting another movie. Phase 3 I believe. so a TV show would definitely be out of the question.

I think they should find a way to incorporate it all into the same MCU
But if they can't, then Putting them all under a separate Marvel Knight banner, until they feel they can incorporate them would be great.

Maybe something with Hawkeye and Black Widow? Something to make them look a bit more badass?

GAF keeps going on about some Hawkguy which sounds humorous from how they describe it, but would Scarlet want to do TV as Black Widow? Maybe she could just be a regular guest on the Hawkguy show?

The mini series would still be in MCU but the Knight branding would be there to indicate that its for a more mature audience.

I think Doctor strange will be made a huge rewrite in his powers and Quickliver and Scarlet Witch will be inhumans for their move debut. Marvel has already took two big magical concepts in Thor and Mandrain and made them science based so i'm not sure.

I don't think people are tired of super hero or Genre films. With the expection of a few outliers superhero films have replaced what would have been years ago action films.

I feel the same way. Marvel's internal production so far have been of decent to good quality.
and all of it was for the most part very entertaining.

and DC's output so far has been inconsistent.
TDK & Watchmen were pretty good. But the new Superman was only decent and that is what they are building upon with their new Cinematic Universe. Hopefully they learned from Green Lantern and allow Affleck to provide some positive feedback, but I'm not holding high hopes for Supes vs Bats or Justice League.

Kill la Kill

So the Gurren Lagann team told Gainax to get knotted and formed Studio Trigger, and this is their first long-term projects. The first two episodes have provided great .gif material if nothing else:

Leans a little heavy on the fanservice from all appearances, but it's at least as hot blooded as GL. Funimation, if you wanna dub this, I'll send the check.

More Marvel Movie news
(I really should make that Marvel Cinematic Universe thread I've mentioned several times now....)

The Wasp is likely to have a name attached to it for the upcoming Ant-Man movie.
So it looks like Rashida Jones will play Janet Van Dyne as support to the likely Paul Rudd as Ant-Man
http://www.superheromoviesnews.com/2013/10/exclusive-we-know-who-front-runner-for.html (http://www.superheromoviesnews.com/2013/10/exclusive-we-know-who-front-runner-for.html)
Quote
The Wasp WON’T feature in Ant-Man, but Janet Van Dyne WILL. The source says, “Janet will be a love interest and a major supporting character, we would see multiple references to her future as The Wasp throughout the film.” As if this wasn’t enough, the source later told me WHO Marvel and Edgar Wright had in their eyes for the role. It seems that Parks & Recreation star Rashida Jones is on top of Marvel’s shortlist for the role of 'Janet Van Dyne'.

Chris Pratt (GotG) works with Rashida on Parks & Rec.
Rashida Jones worked with Paul Rudd on I Love You, Man
So atleast they have worked together before, and I liked that movie, so I have hopes for Ant-Man


also it appears that Capt. America: Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men: Days of Future Past may all have trailers before Thor: The Dark World (Nov 8th).

Universal to follow Marvel's lead and create a "Monster Universe" for Universal's Classic Monsters!?
A "Van Helsing" & "The Mummy" reboots are just the beginning....?

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are everywhere these days. The screenwriting duo seem to be attached in one form or another to just about every project out there (with varying degrees of success).

In a recent interview with IGN to promote ENDER'S GAME (on which the duo is credited as producers), Orci revealed some plans to take on Universal's classic stable of monsters. They are already on board to develop remakes of both VAN HELSING and THE MUMMY, but the information in the interview suggests those could just be the beginning. They may be creating updated versions of these classic horror tales that could grow into a universe all its own.

    There’s an interesting thing that could happen at Universal where they have this amazing library of their old monsters and these kinds of heroes, and the idea of trying to create a universe. [We're doing] Van Helsing, and we’re also producing The Mummy for them. We’re kind of imagining updating these kinds of things. You don’t want to just make remakes when you’re doing a thing, unless it’s worthy of being a remake, but when you have an idea for something that can actually be made different and yet be true to what it was. We just had a notion of how to make it modern and have a slightly different tone. It’s not going to be just a remake.


So... The Mummy is resurrected... and then followed up by a Van Helsing Movie which is of him going to hunt The Mummy Down, and just before that ends he hears stories of a Wolfman, which leads to a The Wolfman movie, which then leads to a Dracula Movie, which leads to another Van Helsing Movie, and so on and so on.

Hmmm. Could be interesting.

More Marvel "movie?" news.

Ben Kingsley (The Mandarin - Iron Man 3) is working on a secret Marvel project.
(http://i.imgur.com/sLxGs89.jpg)
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=110520
Quote
"It's a secret Marvel project. I'm not allowed to say any more, you're going to have to wait and see," he said, adding, "I was with many members of the crew that were involved in Iron Man 3. It was lovely to see them again. It was great to be with this wonderful family."

Would be nice to see him somehow actually become The Mandarin. Maybe it's a "one Shot" for the end of Thor 2? an artifact from Thor's Vault lands on earth? Ten "magical" Rings maybe....?
or maybe it ties into SHIELD?
a direct crossover from the Big Screen to the Small Screen would really help the TV show a lot.

It doesn't have to be a new film. (I can't see where they can take this interpretation of the Mandarain, hell his only other potential plot point was to be killed).


It's probably going to be a Marvel One shot based around the character. Thor Comes out next month so the next One Shot should be in the filming process if its going to be launching alongside the Thor Blu-ray release in March.

Mandarin "the actor" continues his role as head of a Terrorist faction such as The Ten Rings, and it turns out he was in charge the entire time!!! DUN DUN DUNN!!

Edit: and that is the terrorist group behind The Rising Tide, the group the Skye is attached to. Which would make sense since The Mandarin is Chinese and Skye is half Chinese and speaks fluent Mandarin.

I'm picturing a scene where "the actor" is thrown down in a spotlight to grovel on his knees. He begs for mercy for portraying a character named The Mandarin at the feet of a shadowy figure who reveals himself to be the real Mandarin. As the shadowy figure leans forward in his throne, he reveals his face to be the same as "the actor".

Now going forward you never know if it's the decoy or the man himself.

Looks like Ant Man is a going to be a different genre than all the rest of the previous Marvel Films.

Ant Man will be a heist movie.
Quote
We will find out who is playing Ant-Man/Hank Pym in Edgar Wright's forthcoming Marvel movie before the year is out.

Marvel Studios' president of production Kevin Feige explained to IGN, in an extended interview which you can watch at the bottom of the page, that the British director is currently in the Marvel offices every day "tweaking the drafts [of the script] with Joe Cornish... and we're crewing up and prepping. There should be cast announcements, probably before the end of the year."

He also went on to explain that Ant-Man, which is scheduled for a July 2015 release, won't be your regular super hero movie as it will straddle another genre entirely - the heist movie.

Watch the full interview for updates on Guardians, Doctor Strange, TV show rumours, and more below.
http://ign.com/articles/2013/10/23/kevin-feige-expect-ant-man-casting-news-before-year-is-out (http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/10/23/kevin-feige-expect-ant-man-casting-news-before-year-is-out)

I really like that Marvel is constantly switching it up. Every movie has it's own feel to it as they explore a different style genre with it. You never really feel like you are watching the same things over and over again with the characters swapped out.

The trailer for the new Captain America movie. Look's like its going to be the best of the big three sequels. They even found away to make Falcon look cool.  Apparently out of the Phase 2 films this one sets up Age of Ultron the most.


From a Narrative standpoint the Phase II stories seem like.


Item 47- The earliest post Avengers tale and parallels Coulson recuriting SKye for shield. (I think orginally agents of sheild was going to be based off of Item 47)


Iron Man 3 - A personal tale about Stark's fallout to Avengers. We see a bit of Universe building through Extremis and iron Patriot.


-Agent Carter- A look back into the past at how Shield comes o the forefront.


-Thor the Dark World- The Asgardian fallout to The Avengers and just more set up for alien species. Rumor is there are two post credits scenes one for Guradians and for the Marvel Universe as a whole.


-Agents of Shield season 1 and 2- If Avengers was the big Event comic, this is the ongoing series that spreads out of it. A smaller look at a shield unit dealing with super powered individuals.


-Captain America Winter Soldier- Out of the three this deals with the universes reaction to the events of Avengers, and dealing with Hydra coming to the forefront since the game has changed. This one is rumored to set up A2 more so than the other films.


-Guardian of the Galaxy- Epic Sci-fi film and despite being a phase II movie its setting up Phase 3 storypoints.

I liked the 1st Captain America movie, but this looks like improvements in every area.
A full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy and future MCU relevant post credit teasers for both of these and Thor 2 and I am guaranteed to be there on Day 1 for all of the above.

Well even in real life an absurd amount of money gets put into military spending, it makes sense that in the Marvel Universe that government spending would be outrageous. We know that people have been tying to reverse engineer Hydra tech and cataloging people with powers (as well as trying to make the super solider serum). After an Alien Invasion and the Mandarin attacks it makes sense that shield would get a ton of funding.


It helps that Marvel has been purposely vague about what county shield is exactly. Winter Solider seems to be changing this but Avengers was purposely unclear on the subject. 


Latino Review is reporting Saffron Burrows has been cast as Agent Victoria Hand. For those not familiar with the comics Hand became Norman Osborn's right hand woman after he took over SHIELD and renamed it HAMMER. She was the Maria Hill to his Nick fury and kept his Green Goblin persona in check, as well as working as the Handler for his Dark Avengers team. Later she jumped a sinking ship and became the Handler of the New Avengers as per Cap's request. She's later possed and Killed by Daniel Droom the brother of than socercer surpeme Doctor Vododdo.

Their last movie (Flashpoint Paradox) had a huge focus on Aquaman.

Speaking of which i recommend Flashpoint, though it does look like a cheaply made anime. But outside of derpy looks on everyone, it's a very good movie, if a little too gory in places.

Also i don't like that whole Shazam/Marvel rename (and i didn't grew up with american superheroes!). He is still Captain Marvel for me.

I heard that original run they're basing this movie on wasn't all that good to begin with. But DC Animated has proved many times that they can improve on mediocre comic book runs to make a great movie, though they did have a few missteps as well (like All Star Superman, god bless your soul in heavens, McDuffie, but your last work was so bad).

Quote from: The Extended Scenario
I was imagining this short to be something where the "actor" playing The Mandarin ("The Actdarin") is seen being dragged down a hallway, into a chamber that is lit with candles and torches. He is thrown down at the feet of a shadowy figure sitting in a thrown, where he is instructed to explain his actions towards playing "The Mandarin". After groveling that he was paid well to play the part because he "looked the part" and thought of it as not more than a job, a hand reaches out of the shadow, with rings on all 5 fingers, grabbing him by the throat. The owner of the hand then leans forward (camera angle is from the side and slightly behind which doesn't reveal the face), then as he stands up, lifting "The Actdarin" up off the ground, feet dangling in the air, he proclaims "I AM THE MANDARIN!" (camera angle focusing on the sheer terror of The Actdarin's face, it swings around revealing that the face of The Mandarin is the same face). He then releases "The Actdarin" who then flies 30+ feet away as if thrown. The Mandarin, whose arm is still extended makes a fist, all the candles and torches flare up. [cut to black. scene ends.]


I wonder how close I will be to the final product.

Luther: Season 1

10/10

The only way to describe John Luther is to use a Boondocks quote...ahem, "He's like a black-ass batman, if you will, and he can fly...underwater." Luther is surprisingly complex. I didn't find it fascinating, however, until all the murder and mayhem was out of the way and Luther simply interviewed a suspect. That's when it became addicting. When I saw the intelligence behind the show.

Well, Fox was talking about universe building like Marvel, so unless they plan on the possibility of F4 flopping and eventually having to give it back, they will likely try to fit it in there somehow and leverage the fans for one to support the other.

But I really hope they don't so that Marvel gets it back and can use what they need to help support the MCU's Cosmic build up.

I keep telling myself there has to be a way for Marvel to get it all back. Some magic buyout price or something. Because it is frustrating knowing everything should be connected and yet it is not.

Honestly I think MCU is better off not having F4 and X-Men.  I always felt that those two parts in particular always felt like they should be their own Universe.  Especially X-Men.

x-Men, Yes.  Fantastic Four?  No!  They're a strong part of the Marvel Universe and one of my favorites.

Fantastic Four has less incompatible Lore then X-Men so they could be integrated in better.

Declassifying Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Well

The X-Men have always felt out of place in the Marvel U. I think Cyclops' dialogue with Captain America at the end (or right after) AvX summed it pretty well. The gist was that Cyclops has had to fight giant robots who had been out to kill him since he was 16 and deal with his people getting genocided and the Avengers (and Cap) did poop-squat about it.

A Sentinel problem doesn't really sound like a problem to an angry Hulk.

But now that I think about it, X-men can stay with Fox for a while, as it really does fit in it's own bubble and there are far too many mutants and stories involving them for Fox to ever get around to anyway (where is the Maddox/Multiple Man series and the Deadpool movie!?). But they really need to let go of Fantastic 4 and do more with the Mutantverse that is X.
Just like Sony needs to let go of Spiderman, and them maybe team up with Fox to tackle some of those X-Mutants projects.

How nice would it be though if Sony just let Marvel take the lead on the Spider-man films while Sony just takes their share of the profits. Sony gets to keep making Spidey movies, Marvel gets to be in creative control and integrate the IP back in to the MCU.

I'm too lazy to dig up links right now, and I don't remember if I posted about this before, but WB&DC are really hoping to squeeze Wonder Woman into the upcoming Supes vs Bats movie that is filming scenes as we speak.

Assuming they supposedly haven't casted the role yet, and are already shooting specific scenes from the film, I'm gonna guess she doesn't play the largest role in this film.

But current speculation/rumor is that a Marvel character may be making a crossover appearance.
Sif (Thor & Thor 2) played by Jaime Alexander has been said to have been talking to WB about SvB and knows the storyline from the movie.... we are told to do the math on this one.

She also promises to be there for Thor 3 and that it is happening. So I guess Thor 3 is also another Phase 3 movie.

Disney is doing everything they can to regain control short of breaking the bank. It's just that Marvel made a very desperate deal to keep their heads afloat. Nothing much Disney can do but wait for someone to slip up.

The CW & DC are developing another DC show based on The Avenger (1939 pulp hero)
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/movienewsandreviews/news/?a=89435

I hope they don't call it The Avenger as I'm sure Marvel would have them in court over that (trying to cash in on HYPE ;) )

The Avengers is a much more pulpy character more similar to the shadow or doc savage.


DC and The CW are also working on a pilot for an hourman TV series.

Glad I'm not the only one still watching AoS here. another week, another improvement. Still wish they could move thing a little faster though. Showing is coasting at a 6/6.5 and they need to push it up to an 8/8.5 and then eventually crank it up to 11 for a for the season finale.

I know we are only 6 episodes in and barely past 1/4 of the season, but they need to start raising the stakes. Involve the background big bad plot building it up every week, even if the central issue of the episode has nothing to do with it, show some over arching plot developing in the background

I don't care enough about how Coulson came back for that to be the sole reason to tune in next week, but if the reason behind how Coulson came back has something to do with a much larger background plot, then now we are getting somewhere. So I just want them to speed up the plot development a little and add a few layers of complexity as far as how tangled some story threads are.



edit: and almost forgot the real reason I came in here.

Another name has been thrown in the hat for the rumored role of "Wonder Woman" in the Clark & Bruce Bromance Movie - Olga Kurylenko (Oblivion, Quantom of Solace)

Damn Jamie Alexander is fine as hell. Jamie Alexander and Lynn Collins are my top two picks for a Wonder Woman film based on mostly looks and build.


I just hope they go with a Wonder Woman with Greek features tbh. It seems nearly every comic artist forgets that Wonder Woman is of greek descent. (not that it truly matter since the amazons seem pretty damn diverse for a isolated society of women.)

One of my biggest fears for Wonder Woman in film is that the studio decides to give her secret ID. Having an alternate ID works for many heroes, but one of the things I like about Wonder Woman is that Diana price and Wonder Woman are one in the same morseo than bats or supes.

The CW is bringing yet another DC property to the small screen.

http://m.deadline.com/2013/11/izombie-dc-comics-cw-rob-thomas-diane-ruggiero/ (http://m.deadline.com/2013/11/izombie-dc-comics-cw-rob-thomas-diane-ruggiero/)
Quote
EXCLUSIVE: After wrapping his fan-funded Veronica Mars movie, Rob Thomas is reuniting with the film’s co-writer Diane Ruggiero for a zombie drama series project based a DC property. The CW has put in development iZombie, which Thomas and Ruggiero will write based on the characters created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred and published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint. iZombie, from Warner Bros TV and Rob Thomas Prods, is a supernatural crime procedural that centers on a med student-turned-zombie who takes a job in the coroner’s office to gain access to the brains she must reluctantly eat to maintain her humanity. But with each brain she consumes, she inherits the corpse’s memories, and with the help of her medical examiner boss and a police detective, she solves homicide cases in order to quiet the disturbing voices in her head. Thomas and Rugierro, who previously served as an exec producer on Thomas’ series Veronica Mars and Cupid, are executive producing with fellow frequent Thomas collaborators Danielle Stokdyk and Dan Etheridge.

All these CW/DC projects may be unconnected, but they are not letting Marvel have all the comic TV money. Pretty soon The CW will be known as The DC.


Current DC Properties currently in the works:

The Flash (The CW)
The Avenger (The CW)
The Hourman (The CW)
The Amazon (The CW)
iZombie (The CW)
Gotham (Fox)

Well Izombie wouldn't be connected anyway since its not a DCU book. Its a self published indie title from the Vertigo imprint. Going to be intresting how the CW promotes it as its pretty different than the every day pretty people doing awesome things, but I'm guessing that's mostly due to the Mike Allard art.

Which is why I said its not DCU. Vergito is. Separate imprint that's mostly creator owned work.  Other than that we would be seeing Batman in Fables.

American Horror Story is probably on it's best season yet,
s3 so far > s1 > s2

so here is a preview of next weeks continued craziness:
http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/11/american-horror-story-episode-306.html

and some news related to next season:
Quote from: re: Angela Basset & Kathy Bates returning for Season 4
“I have approached them and they wanna do it,” says Murphy. He adds, “That’s very exciting when you can work with A.) actresses you’ve always idolized and B.) those two are loving this season. They love what they get to do. Kathy Bates sent the writers a basket of plush toys all in the shapes of disemboweled organs. It doesn’t get better than when an Oscar winner sends you a grab bag of stuffed pancreas to say ‘Thank you and job well done.’”

Let hope next season is as coherent as this season and not the overloaded mess that was last season.

Also, aren't they kinda rushing the story? Are general audiences going to be able to follow this? I mean, I get it, most people here will get it, but a large chunk of movie goers only know these characters as movie characters. Adding a character with a full background is going to be confusing.

Comicbook movie is unreliably as hell TBH. But this guy would be terrible nightwing eitherway. Get somebody like Ryan Glosing and play up the he fucks everything that moves and you have nightwing.


Also I wouldn't say Marvel is sucking all the talent. Its just that we think all hero movies should have well known actors at this point instead of unknowns.


I feel Superman Batman and the Marvel nextflix should go with unknown actors rather than high profile people.

“I saw the costume. More than that I saw a picture of him (Affleck) in the costume. Now, I don’t want to give anything away ’cause that is up to them and stuff, but I am going to say this I instantly bear hugged him (Snyder). You have not seen this costume in a movie on film before, and for a comic book fan it was mind bending. I was like ‘Get out of here, only you have enough power to pull this off.’ Because everyone always like does this Matrix/X-Men black armor…It was fantastic. I’m already a flag waver for this movie but the costume, it blew my mind. I think everyone is just gonna be like ‘Holy S**!’ It’s its own thing, man. It’s like we haven’t been down this path at all. I was so elated….Even the hardest core F*** all this person will be like ‘alright, I’m ready.'"

Not content with Black Canary, Arsenal, the Huntress, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, China White, Doctor Ivo, or upcoming characters like The Flash and Amanda Waller, Arrow has just added Batman's protégé Nightwing to its ever-increasing cast, to be played by Steve McQueen of The Vampire Diaries fame.

Apparently McQueen is pretty excited about the role, as he tweeted this pic of himself getting ready for the show:

I actually think DC is going to have 2 universes.
One for TV, and one for the Movies.
Although I'm sure the TV guys would do the Movies for dirt cheap. Especially if the get a special contact drawn up citing TV appearances and movie appearances.
Such is what I bet Marvel wish they did.

While I wouldn't mind it I hope not. I know there were some rumors of DC waiting till next year to see how Gustin Grant's Flash tests with audience. Apparently he would be in World's Finest as a Barry Allen Cameo. Barry and Diana are supposed to be appear in the film in their civilian identities or in the Case or Wonder Woman as an Argus Agent.


DC has enough TV properties already going or in the works that it makes sense to connect them to the film stuff.  Next year were probably going to have


Gotham
Arrow
Constantine
Hourman
The Flash


Out of those shows all of those characters are all street level with the exception of The Flash and Maybe Constantine. There's so much universe building done already that it doesn't make sense to have to hit Superman/Batman with stuff like Argus or Amanda Waller all over again.


You guys don't think its a bit suspect that DC is pushing alot of these characters in the comics harder as well as the book. The flash series has done well and is written in a way that works for TV while keeping him a JL style character. Constantine is fucking Magical Batman at this point showing up nearly everywhere, commanding his own team, fighting He-man, and fucking over what ever the magical term for cosmic level guys and living.


Gotham is also being produced by David Goyer who's writing Superman/Batman and those two seem to add up. Gotham is dealing with a Younger Gordan while Superman/Batman is dealing with a Batman in his fourties who has been doing this for a while. Fast forward to the current Batman Zero Year which is dealing with a way younger captain Gordan and a Batman who just started out.

It's possible that all of this connects to the Arrowverse, but if it is, it all seems ill thought out.
It's a hodgepodge mess of TV actors being setup for movie roles, and letting the CWTV crew do all the universe building and trying to wedge that into the movie cannon afterwards.

I would just think that with DC having full control of all their characters and having a major studio such as WB as their parent company, and the CW as their own TV station, they would have an actual plan in place. But nothing seems connected, half of the selected properties being brought to TV are quite obscure and the other half potentially conflict with Movieverses plans for the JLU movie.
(The Flash & Nightwing being cast on Arrow, The CW developing Amazon - yet WB is casting Diana for the BvS movie)
Arrowverse is rapidly expanding and may just engulf everything, but if that is the case, then I hope a WB/DC universe overseer steps in to keep everything on a cohesive flow, outline an actual plan/direction and have a hand in casting (so that actors being chosen for TV can be groomed for movie appearances too & vice versa).


------------


Arrow - This = Universe central. The Arrowverse. this is where the current focus is.
Gotham - This takes place with a young Gordon before Bats. Can't directly connect to current MoS if Bats is now in his 40's, unless they use this as an origin story for a young Batman, 15 or so years before MoS2/BvS
Constantine - Kinda obscure, but people may remember the movie. Introducing a supernatural element.
Hourman - Very obscure.
The Flash - Will he be The Flash they wanted for the movie? If not, they may just decide to have 2 universes.


You forgot:
Amazon - This could be the origin series for whoever is chosen to play Diana. Introduce her in the movie and then start the TV series afterwards.
The Avenger - another very obscure character who will likely need a name change.

I think Zack Snyder is suppsoed to be the current overseer. I do think DC needs to get a Kevin Feigie style guy and start getting project together and having people talk to each other.


I'd suggest going with a comics guy Like Geoff Johns or a Mark Waid to do it. Than sit everyone in a room and get this mess sorted out.


Andrew Kriesnberg (Arrow Showrunner)
Greg Berlanti (The Flash Showrunner_
Zack Snyder
Ben Affleck (its rumored that apart of his contract is he gets to direct the next Bat film and maybe Justice League)
David Goyer (writer for B/S and Gotham)
Bruno Heller (will most likely showrun gotham)
Daniel Cerone (will most likely showrun Constantine.)


Get these guys in a room and Map out the road  maps of the shows for the next four years alongside the next big films after Superman/Batman. (MOS3,Batman,JusticeLeague)

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 14, 2013, 02:19:41 PM
Yeah, Snyder & Goyer are supposed to be the Whedon for DC, but their DCCU only consist of MoS so far.

They need a Fiege to get everyone on the same page and and start steering all the connected ships into the same port if they are going for DCCU that spans Movies and TV and culminating in a mega event like The Avengers.

Arrow has gotten the ball rolling rather quickly and there are all sorts of avenues to expand upon at this point, but they really need to get it together. It's kinda embarrassing that Marvel had to come back from the brink of death to accomplish what they have done while DC, which has had all the resources in their pocket for decades, is still trying to figure out how to recreate that Marvel Money Train and get their own Avengers Mint.

You know, that has never bothered me. I think I was more familiar with her on That 70s Show before Family Guy, saving me from ever thinking "Oh, that's Meg from Family Guy" when I see her in other roles.

Even in Ted, it didn't bother me.

I can see that, especially if you knew her before. I never watched the 70s show so i didn't know her before so Oz the Great and Powerful basically turned into "The Makings of Meg".

Spider-man actually look sarcastic and comically funny in this.

I will need to rewatch the 1st one before I go see this one.
This will either be the most entertaining comic trainwreck we have yet to witness (so bad it's almost good again)
or we will all be pleasantly surprised when this turns out to be the closest thing to the Spider-man movie we didn't know we always wanted.

RIP Paul Walker

The movie has been delayed, but here is a sneak peek at the Fast & Furious 7 Trailer that leaked the day before his death :(

http://vk.com/video-18907487_166720656

"No More Funerals"
"Just one more.... his."

Supposedly some Walker centric scenes were to be shot later this week, but major rewrites are likely to happen now.
I wonder if they will kill off his character in a blaze of glory, and/or simply hire a body double, voice actor and CG his face to tie up his story line.

RIP Paul Walker. I think the studio is waiting to know what his family wants before rewriting his scenes.

Amazing Spider-man 2 looks like its going to be the best kind of hot mess.

In DC news Bleedingcool has all the scoops.

The new Hourman TV series might be taking a different approach being more like Ben 10 or Dial H.

Because the proposal is that the drug Miraco from the comic book series, in the TV show will have a different effect on each person who takes it, summoning different powers and abilities based on their personality, enhancing existing talents or abilities tenfold, but with terrible side effects.

And a different person will get the powers each week…

DCE is working on adapting Young Justice into a Teen Drama for the CW meaning Tommorow People will be canceled after season .  Going by tumblr this should work since the more Drama and character focused stuff was the highlight of the show.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/12/02/young-justice-the-live-action-tv-series-for-the-cw/

Quote
Bleeding Cool has been led to believe by a recently-reliable source that the CW is developing another live action teen drama/romance series with a superhero twist, based on the Young Justice cartoon, games and comics, being prepped for 2015.

DC is about to up its movie game by doing at least three films a year with Two being Low budget affairs and the third being the big tentpole.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/12/02/spring-and-fall-the-new-slots-for-dc-entertainment-low-budget-superhero-films/

Quote
Bleeding Cool already mentioned how, with David Goyer attached, Warners were looking at movie treatments for the likes of Suicide Squad, Booster Gold, Deathstroke, Team 7 and more.

Well, it looks like this will be DC Entertainment’s big news for 2014.

A series of lower-prominence comic books being turned into relatively lower budget movies.

Suicide Squad is one specifically mentioned as only needing a $40 million budget, pre-marketing. Some could be made for as little as $20 million.

And with two-a-year scheduled for Spring and Fall/Autumn, Warners can expand the Man Of Steel/Batman universe significantly, and make a decent profit in the process.

This puts the Arrow being in the movieverse into question even more.

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/12/02/a-joker-in-gothams-past-a-grundy-in-arrows-future/

The Pilot for Gotham will focus on Jim trying to solve a notable homicide.

Arrow will be doing some universe building that hints that it could be apart of the movieverse despite what I wrote earlier.

It will be very interesting if MoS joins the Arrowverse.

But now that DC is ready to ramp up, I feel a Superhero bubble is gonna expand too quickly and be in danger of popping.

Just think, in a single year, we could have movies in the following franchises:

X-Men
Wolverine
Spider-man
Spider-man Spin-off (?)
The Avengers
Thor/Captain America (or other established phase X sequel)
Random Marvel IP 1 (for current phase X)
Superman
Batman
Random DC IP 1

and then on TV we will have:

Agents of SHIELD
Daredevil
Luke Cage
Iron Fist
Jessica Jones
ArrowGotham
Young Justice
Hourman
"Avenger" (DC property)
Another DC based show that slips my mind

That is alot of comic booking to watch. especially at the theater. That might be Superhero Overload.
Please don't burst my bubble DC. position the movies to be spread out, make sure they are good. construct a solid plan ahead of time and don't try to shoe horn things in afterward.
Marvel is already dominating the big screen and I understand the need to get in there and claim your space, but there is only so much an audience that would like to support you both can take.

It could be an earth shattering spectacle to behold.
it could be the most entertaining superhero movie to date

Vultures Wings on the left, Doc Ock's Tentacles on the Right. - Sinsiter Six in the making.

I'm really hoping Mysterio makes the cut or that The Lizard has a further transformation to not look like a Goomba from Super Mario the Movie if he comes back assuming the full trilogy is realized here.

------------------

Here is how I see the Sinister Six Trilogy playing out
Quote
ASM 2. Main villain is Electro, with the rise of Green Goblin being the secondary story. Rhino is minor sub plot. Gwen dies near the end.
 
 ASM 3. Mysterio* is the main villian, Green Goblin is still in the background. MJ is introduced during the film, The Vulture* is the minor sub plot. Doc Ock is introduced.
 (Symbiote seeds can be planted here)
 
 ASM 4. Doc Ock*, Mysterio**, Rhino, The Vulture, Electro & The Green Goblin, all under the Green Goblins lead form the Sinister Six. Spider-man uses the Symbiote to defeat them. MJ helps him shed the symbiote suit at the end.
 
 Trilogy is complete. new series can begin:
 ASM 5: Main villian is Venom. The Hobgoblin is the secondary plot.


*You can switch Mysterio w/ Dock Ock as the main villian in ASM 3,
**and then switch out Mysterio with The Lizard if he comes back in ASM 4, but I would LOVE to see Mysterio be the main bad guy in a Spider-man movie.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 02, 2013, 08:37:06 PM
Yes. If ratings stay where they are, then it's the 2nd most watched show behind NCIS (in it's time slot and night) if what I was reading was accurate. I think that will all but guarantee it a 2nd season. not written in stone yet though.

The second half (back 9) of the show after the winter break will probably see a shift in tone from the 1st half that was written before feedback came in and the full order was placed. I think it will be tweaked a little to address some of the issues lots of people are having with plot progression and character development.
I know the show can't exactly go full throttle like Arrow, but they can weave an ongoing plot in the background that progresses throughout every episode, while still keeping the relatively stand alone style plots thoughout several episodes.

I;m assuming most reasonable peoples problems with the show stem from the feeling of it all not building up to anything and going no where real fast. This would be fixed if we saw more of what AIM was up to with the centipede formula from time to time. Or who that guys was in the prison and why we should remember him. More "Girl in the Flower Dress" and less random artifact that has no connection to anything.

I was joking mostly. I don't mind the Schumacher films as since I look at them as a reboot of the 60s Batman series which is just as campy and crappy,

Outside of that the best Batman movie is Batman Begins and if were counting animated ones as well Mask of Phantasm.

It's all about Alaska dinosaurs (with the exception of some caegnathids, which aren't even in Alberta). The narration is, as always, questionable in these sorts of movies. I'm hoping the DVD/BR will feature a no-voiceover option. Anyway, pretty stoked about it.

Yes, Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movie series.  No I am not ashamed of that.

I am curious if Arrow is actually good.

Arrow sucks and is the typical CW drivel (**** made for teen girls). I get sick of seeing Green Arrow with his shirt off four times an episode. Plus, why the **** are they afraid of calling him who he is? It's like the people in charge of the show are afraid of the source material.

Welcome to live action adaptations of DC in the last decade.

They're not afraid, they're ashamed of origins of the stuff they were put to make and try to make it "cool" in their own way.

. .

The show isn't afraid to call him Green Arrow but if you've been watching it their going with the obvious progression of a hero trope. The first season is really a Revenge story and that's why Ollie is only called the Hood or the Vigilante. Season 2 is about becoming a Hero for the city hence why the first episoide is titled a city of heroes and Ollie is now being referred to as the Arrow and getting a domino mask.

Its weird you saw its CW drivel and that it doesn't follow the source material when the best comics are one part cape stories and one part soap opera. Its one of the reasons why most comics especially 60s marvel focused on all aspects of our heroes where in the same issue we would see Spiderman fight Doc Ock, there would be equal time of him going on a Date with Betty Brant or fretting that he may have put Aunt May into the hospital.

I mean this was a panel in last week's issue of the Flash

or an issue from superman a few months back where Half the issue is clark at a house warming party with his new girlfriend.

Plus the show has been doing a lot of work building not only featuring DC charcters like Huntress or Shado but also using places and terms like Star Labs, Argus, Big Belly Burger, Amazo.

If you're in here to hate on Arrow with that argument then you must be Oblivious ;)

Arrow is awesome superhero comic book TV.
I hope it is currently the baseline for shows of it's kind as far as pace and scope are concerned.
It's not perfect, but it's the best we've ever had for this kind of show, IMO.

as far as him with his shirt off.... makes me feel lazy and fat. That fool is crazy cut. I would show it off too if I put in that much work to look like that.

On being called Green Arrow - Shingi already addressed it, but they are building up to that. What did you want him to do? Stand on a roof top and proclaim to the citizens that they should call him THE GREEN ARROW!!!? I'm pretty sure Superman didn't pick his own name either, I'm sure it was given to him by someone else and then kinda stuck. He didn't tell everyone what to call him. Soem thing is happening here. It's happening organically. the name is evolving, and eventually he will be saddled with the name we know him by.

The romance sub plots don't make sense for a Clark Kent who's more Timd and a one woman girl but Green Arrow's secret identity is that of Ollie Queen who's known for being a man whore of Nightwing propotions in and put of being GA.

 It didn't help that in Smallville the series ruined Lana by having her and Clark be all broddy and not just be friends after the break up. After Lana l broke up with Clark the relationship should have been similar to this.

Nope. I was always a Marvel kid.

DC wasn't my cup of tea.
Superman was stupid, Batman was badass, but everyone else was overpowered or a jumbled mess of nonsense.

Everything I know about Green Arrow is from cartoons, comic clips posted online, TV Shows and general internetting.

But that has nothing to do with how awesome Arrow has been, especially this 2nd season so far.
If you're a comic purist, then great, go do some reading, but compromises have to be made when bringing things to life... especially on a TV budget.

TV shouldn't just blatently follow the source Material and Arrow first season takes alot of inspiration from The Longbow Hunters from Mike Grell and the Year One story from Andy Diggle and Jock.


Even in the current Green Arrow run by Lemire and Sorentio team Arrow usually calls Ollie Arrow for short hand. I mean for what Arrow or was until this season the show made a ton of sense.


Comic Purists are usually pretty terrible to be honest. Its one of the reasons why we got Hal Jordan in the GL film instead of Hal Jordan. Well that and Geoff Johns loves his mary sue's.

Because from what I have heard (and this may not apply to GA) is that DC doesn't have their **** together with their comics either. Multiple origin stories for all sorts of characters, retconned everything... they rebooted the entire universe recently didn't they?

They didn't completly change ollie at all.



You mean they can't their **** together when it comes to movies, and your point is a bit off seeing as Man of Steel is literally the first film project from the new DCE.


In terms of Television projects DC will be killing it next year and Agents of shield is a pretty terrible show.


Two they didn't change the chrcater at all. You use the fucking do you read comics scapegoat when comics is a medium full of fucking thousands of universes and where you can do whatever you want with the chrcaters.


Please don't use that Bullshit reponse when before Iron Man 1 came out Tony Stark was a Tyrannical jack ass who decided to press down on the freedom of his peers, created an Guantanamo Bay equivalent in the Negative Zone, or decided to Clone thor resulting in someone's death.


Or let's look at how Thor is a Alien in the films, yet in the comics he's an actual God of Thunder.


Hawkeye in the films is a boring brooding chrcater, while comics is a fun loving guy who's always in trouble with the ladies owns a dog that eats pizza and is pretty funny.

Anyone who says DC doesn't have their comics together in terms of story telling is either a bullshitter or someone who's over 40 and can't stand reboots. But it really depends on which line of books your reading.




DC usually restarts their Universe after a couple of years. the Last time they did a Mass Reboot was in the 80s after Crisis on Infinte Earths and before that in the 60s during the Silver age.




Marvel on the other Hand tends to have a shifting timeline where all you need to know is things changed. Somethings stay the same like Captain America fought in World  War II, but others change like Punisher and Iron Man being linked to the late 80s early 90s wars in Afanginstan.


Their who Mantra is the Fantastic Four got their powers 15 years ago and that's always going to be set, and they're more concerned with the Now than the Past unlike the pre-reboot DC comics where most of the main heroes were in their mid fourties to fifties.


Its only a problem when a Writer wants to ignore this rule to make a Joke like Bendis bringing the first team of X-men from the past to the present and them being all 1960'd out despite logic saying these kids should be coming from the early 80s.

There are a lot of things I don't like about the New 52, mostly how fast they put Clark in the suit. I was really enjoying the jeans, boots, and blanket look as well as his getting friend zoned by Lois.

But Man of Steel wasn't really a good movie, and the sequel is sounding less promising with every rumor. (Side note: I think Affleck will be a good Batman.)

I'm with Obleezy on this one. Arrow is simply not a good show. People always being saved at the last minute by (insert random character), no acting ability by a majority of the cast, and the plot-lines are neither suspenseful or intriguing. Oh and none of the women are attractive.

Murdering fools with a bow and arrow in the age of guns is inherently badass, almost as badass as javelin-ing someone. They really fucked up this one.

Stopped watching after two episodes.

Your loss,
Felicity is pretty. not so much the actress in her everyday life, but the character in the show.
Laurel is kinda hot the first season, she looks off this season.
The Sister is pretty, the actress more so than the character.
The mom isn't half bad for an old biddy.

But the show comes out the gates in a full sprint in the second season and hasn't even slowed down to look back yet. full speed ahead. Black Dynamite was even in an episode and will be back for more later. The second season is much better than the first and the first doesn't really pick up till about 5-6 episodes in.

But if you don't like it, you don't like it.
You can always wait to see what Marvel and DC have cooking that won't be done till next fall, and it's alot of shows between the 2.

But Superman vs Batman and introducing Wonder Woman, The Flash(?) & Night Wing(?)
and the very next movie is supposedly Justice League. What could go wrong!?
This has perfect storm written all over it.

I await the trailer before making any judgements.

and ASM 2 sounds so bad that it has to end up good. even if for all the wrong reasons.
I hope that if that's the case with BvS, then it too can be so bad it's good. But DC doesn't like light and humorous, they like dark and serious, so, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.



edit: According to Variety, The Flash will also appear in the movie.

The Wonder Woman rumor has been kicking around for some time, and insiders believe the plan is to have not just Batman and Superman in the film but several members of the Justice League as well. It’s unclear which members, but Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and the Flash are said to be locks to make an appearance in some fashion, whether that’s a significant role or a cameo.

and they are casting the villian

Warners will also look to now cast the villain with “Zero Dark Thirty” and “300: Rise of the Empire” star Callan Mulvey someone Warner Bros. is eyeing to play the role.

I still have faith in the movie, but superman V Batman alone felt unearned and they're apparently about to do a pretty big universe jump. But I also like Spiderman 3 and Green Lantern so as long as the movie is entertaining i'm there and i'm too big of a Trinty Fan not to see it.

DCE's plan is coming into shape with this week's annoucments and in general. They may not be able to catch up to Marvel soon (they shouldn't worry about that because a good movie will sell regardless) so they're going to force grow one by partnering with everyone who wants a piece of the cape pie who sin't Disney.

Arrow has been doing a lot of world building and today were seeing Barry Allen into the mix. The time table for all of their current series seems to line up with DC's film plans. All of next years film plans seem to be tied into to make a more cohesive universe. I mean all of the DC shows will be ending a month of so before Superman/Batman. Its rumored were even going to be seeing Red Hood and Nightwing in Arrow to further build the Bat universe.


Plus just from the Plots of Arrow and The Flash they seem to be pushing hard on the fact that technology is slowly becoming comic booky advanced with Earthquake machines and superhumans.

Barry Allen was introduced on Arrow last night. uptick in ratings for the night. Character intro was successful and backdoor pilot episode has been moved into full solo-pilot episode.

Details for that Pilot are sufacing.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=49531

1. Casting for Iris West is be for an African American actress
2. She is Barry Allens best friend and secret love interest.
3. She is a Psych Major and her dad is a Police Detective
4. They took in Barry when his mother was killed and father wrongly accused of murdering her
5. ......?
6. Wally West to be the first (half)Black Flash!?

Quote
IRIS - 22-28 - African-American - As smart as she is beautiful, Iris is in grad school studying psychology. She's also Barry's mile a minute, fast-talking, quick-witted best friend. Her father, Detective West, took in Barry when his mother was murdered, and his father was wrongly accused and imprisoned for her murder. In a tough childhood for Barry, she was the one "not tough" thing. She's unaware of Barry's strong feelings for her.

DETECTIVE WEST - Late 40s to Early 50s - African American -Detective West is an honest, blue-collar cop who's seen it all. A soulful, funny caring father to Iris, and a surrogate father to Barry, West came up through the foster system himself. He took in Barry after his mother's murder and his father's imprisonment. He believes in Barry and supports Barry's efforts to prove his father's innocence.

The Flash pilot is being handled by some of the same people responsible for Arrow, so high hopes are had.

EDIT: Ok, I just finished reading the post. That backstory sounds stupid as ****.

Its not stupid its what's used for Barry's Orgins in modern say story telling. Barry's Mother is killed and her death is usually unresolved or blamed on his father so as a kid he wants to grow up to be a police officer to solve her murder case. Barry becoming The Flash is usually a random accident that bonds him to the speed force.

Now as far as the casting goes Iris being a childhood friend and her dad taking Barry in is something that's tailored made for the show. Now the character of Dective west is based a bit on another character from the current comics who was a family friend in the police force who took Barry in. Its a bit implied that the the father figure is the one who killed Barry's mother but in the show it seems they're going with the Old reverse Flash paradox.

I don't mind this or Iris being black though it will piss some Fanboys off like when Lawrence Fishburne was cast as Perry White, or MOS making Jimmy Olsen a girl.

Popular Luthor was from the cartoons, and that was a black Luthor.
Also differentiates them from Smallville and the previous movies.

And Lex Luthor is DC's 1st black president during the last year of our 1st black president (2016).

Sounds like a good move to me.

Edit: however I'm not so sure about the Hispanic/Latin Flash.
Who are they going to make Asian? Indian? African (Green Lantern)?

My issue is with Hollywood, once again, making the successful rich guy who happens to be secretly (to some degree or another) evil black.

Would they every consider making the successful rich guy who happens to be good black?  Black Batman?  Black Green Arrow?

Kingpin, now Luthor...

Making Iris black is sure to piss off a few people. But what do they mean by "took him in"? Is he fifteen or some ****?

EDIT: Ok, I just finished reading the post. That backstory sounds stupid as ****.

Its not stupid its what's used for Barry's Orgins in modern say story telling. Barry's Mother is killed and her death is usually unresolved or blamed on his father so as a kid he wants to grow up to be a police officer to solve her murder case. Barry becoming The Flash is usually a random accident that bonds him to the speed force.

Now as far as the casting goes Iris being a childhood friend and her dad taking Barry in is something that's tailored made for the show. Now the character of Dective west is based a bit on another character from the current comics who was a family friend in the police force who took Barry in. Its a bit implied that the the father figure is the one who killed Barry's mother but in the show it seems they're going with the Old reverse Flash paradox.

I don't mind this or Iris being black though it will piss some Fanboys off like when Lawrence Fishburne was cast as Perry White, or MOS making Jimmy Olsen a girl. 


I bolded the part in your summary I thought was stupid. I like the whole "Reverse Flash kills Barry's mom" thing. I especially liked the retelling of it in Flashpoint.

Yeah Green Lantern is really awesome in regards to the universe and being all cosmicy. It does make me wonder how they screwed up what has to be one of the most basic stories in comics. It's fucking Training Day in space. Even the animated series got this right.

Plus B'dg (The Squirrel Lanten) is awesome. DC can stuff it for not giving me a Baz/B'dg buddy cop book.

Fox's new series Gotham will feature 10yr old Bruce Wayne as a regular
series starts at the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/07/young-bruce-wayne-will-be-a-series-regular-on-gotham
Quote
Looks like Gotham will show us a part of Bruce Wayne's life we've only glimpsed.

Earlier this week, we reported that Gotham potentially had a timeline when it was announced that Gordon's first case would be "a very famous double homicide." Now, thanks to information on TV Show Auditions, it is all but confirmed that the series will take place in the wake of the Waynes' murders.

The site states that FOX is currently casting series regulars in Los Angeles, one of whom will be 10-year old Bruce Wayne. It's probably safe to assume, based on this news, that Gotham is firmly set in that time period rather than portraying the investigation in flashbacks. Another bit of evidence is TV Show Auditions' story synopsis, which simply states, "Set in the early days of James Gordon's police tenure, when he meets a boy named Bruce Wayne..."

Gotham's pilot begins shooting in March, 2014.

Am i the only one to think this show would be much better if the early cases such as this were all in flashback (ala Arrow) and the series actually focused on when Gordon first became Commissioner and Batman was just now becoming a thing.
Police are tracking the Bat, the Bat is tracking the criminals. But you never really see Batman except in the background. More of a show that deals with being a police officer in the shadow of a masked vigilante. This allows for big time villians such as The Joker, Bane, Clay Face, The Riddler, etc etc & Arkham Asylum. and even if the police don't fight the majority of them directly, they still have to arrest them, process them and book them away. They also have to handle PR from the vigilante acts of the Batman and deal with the moral dilemma of bringing the Bat to justice vs working with him to clean up the streets.

I just feel that would have been a much more interesting show that another Law & Order: Gotham (before the Bat).

That's interesting and all but I sure wish WB would make the show that Paul Dini and Kevin Smith concocted on the most recent Fatman on Batman podcast (http://smodcast.com/episodes/paul-dini-shadow-of-the-bat/). It's basically Bruce Wayne, The Private School Years. Give it a listen, it really does sound like a great premise and Dini is a very. very good writer, especially for the bat. Their idea of a dream-team of scripters is a really good one too.

right?

because I think the Gotham Central comic (not that I've read it) sounds like the most interesting route to take. - Early Batman in the shadows, deals mostly with the police force having to deal with crime and a criminal vigilante who fights crime at the same time.

Kinda wish SOMEONE would explore Batman as a detective.  Something that shows he's smart, as well as resourceful.  Beware the Batman had this half-flaccid attempt ("Computer, zoom and ENHANCE"), but nobody seems to care that Batman and Superman are supposed to be equals.  The current perception is that Batman is a rich, crybaby and Superman is playing on god-mode.

Jason Momoa (failed Conan & Game of Thrones) is negotiating to join the cast of "This is not the Justice League movie you think it is".

Source is speculating as either Doomsday or Martian Manhunter.
Quote
Jason Momoa is in negotiations to join the cast of the untitled Batman-Superman movie being made by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

It's unclear whom Momoa will play due to the Kryptonite lock on the project’s details. There's been speculation that the movie's villain could be Doomsday, a Kryptonian scientifically engineered into an intergalactic killing machine. Doomsday famously “killed” Superman in the comics, which became a media event in 1992. The character's existence is even hinted in the extras of the Man of Steel Blu-ray.

However, a source speculated that if Warners is populating the movie with members of the Justice League, Momoa could also play the Martian Manhunter, a super-powered alien trapped on Earth. Momoa, with his muscular physique, could be a fit for either character.

This movie is getting worse and worse.

The Wonder Woman casting was the only good(-ish?) bit of news (or rumor) to come from it since it was announced.

Adding Martian Man Hunter is just going to be confusing.  Avengers worked because movie goers already knew who those people were.  Having Doomsday as a villain. . .is kinda dumb?  His whole schtick is that he kills Superman.  Is that the story they're going for?  Seriously?

BnM has the right idea I think. Maybe treat it like an expanded form of the animated Batman: Year One where the focus is more on Gordon than Bats. Maybe that is the direction they hope to go once the film hits season 2/3-farther down the road. I would rather they skip to just before Batman is born and just tell it to us through Gordon's eyes.

Yes, The Batman Legend from the perspective of Gotham PD is absolutely the most interesting way to go. The amount of the rogues gallery that allows you to use and off screen or post big battle scene clean up would be great on it's own.

I'm gonna post a script idea I saw as soon as I run across it again. it was pretty damn good.

Quote from: Lionel Mandrake @ NeoGAF
Quote from: Lionel Mandrake;92770036
Just have him be in the pilot. Opening scene.

First shot is a squad car rolling into an alley, where there's already police tape and a news van. A young lieutenant Gordon get out and bemoans that the vultures are already there. He walks into the crime scene and asks what the situation is. Another cop tells him a double homicide, Thomas and Martha Wayne. He's completely emotionless about it, maybe even speaking with a tinge of amusement, which disgusts Gordon. Gordon asks if their son's been contacted about their deaths. The cop says it won't be necessary and points to a young Bruce, sitting on the pavement against the wall. Gordon berates him for not being more attentive to the child. The cop is completely dismissive and says, "Oh yeah. Poor kid. He just became a billionaire." Gordon sighs and walks over to Bruce.

Gives a brief "I'm sorry," speech to Bruce before telling him he has to take him to the station where it's warm and he can call someone for him. Bruce is unresponsive. He stands Bruce up and warns him that there are some people out there who are going to be taking pictures and yelling things, and it's going to be scary. He puts his coat over Bruce's shoulders. And says "Come on, I'll help you. I'll be right beside you." They both walk out of the alleyway, and as they step into the lights, there is a sudden gust of wind, and the coat around Bruce's shoulders picks up, and for a brief moment his silhouette almost looks like he's wearing a cape.

OPENING TITLE

Boom. ****, I'm good at this.
Quote from: Lionel Mandrake;92796166
I'll do you one better and just give what I think would be the most interesting premise for the first two seasons. This is ignoring the fact that apparently a 10-year old Bruce Wayne will be a regular cast member. In my show you won't see child-Bruce again.


After that prologue, the series jumps ahead several years. And Gordon isn't the actual protagonist. He's definitely one of the main characters, and every one of them gets a pretty even amount of screen time and characterization, but the actual "voice" of the show would be an original character. A rookie cop recently transferred to Gotham Central. The other characters would be Bullock and Montoya as well as a few more original characters (Mainly so that we can kill one or two off later on). Gordon has just been suddenly promoted to Commissioner and there's a lot of doubt in whether or not he's ready for the job.


The first season's over-arching story is about the conflict between the Falcone crime family and a new syndicate led by someone who goes by The Penguin. Everyone knows it's millionaire businessman Oswald Cobblepot, but he's really good at covering his tracks and nobody ever gets the damning evidence needed to convict him, partially because he pays off half the force. Throughout the season we still get the "freak-of-the-week" episodes. Killer Croc could be a cool X-Files-like horror episode with the cops sneaking around in the sewer looking for this monster. Mad Hatter could kidnap Montoya and force her to use his invention. So on and so forth.


The first season ends with what looks to be a big win, with Cobblepot sure to go down. But then, near the end of the episode Cobblepot's guys end up gunning down one of the main cops and stealing the evidence that they had. It's a really brutal death and will go to show how sadistic The Penguin is.


The second season will open with the police funeral and the whole force disillusioned. The main character will blame Gordon, and Gordon won't say otherwise, but Bullock and Montoya will defend him and the whole season will have a shaky dynamic between everyone. The season will go like the first, except that they'll be much more adamant in pursuing Cobblepot. This season will also introduce Selina Kyle, who is similar to her Year One persona (Minus being a hooker, because Frank Miller). She lives in the slums, steals stuff to survive, does a little work for the higher-up criminals. The cops try to get her to be an informant but she hates the police, saying they've never done anything for her.


The last couple episodes of the season really heats it up. Someone else dies. Someone close to the main cop. Thugs blow up his apartment, basically ruin him. He goes ballistic and decides he's going to take down Cobblepot, whether Gordon thinks he should or not. He finds out about this deal going down in one of Cobblepot's warehouses. He goes in by himself. Montoya finds out and chases after him to stop him. It's too late. The place was crawling with armed guards and the cop gets captured, tied up. Penguin comes out and really goes off about how he owns the city now. How the cops have lost, and there's no way they can win back Gotham. He essentially says that he's an untouchable god.


Montoya is sneaking around outside the warehouse and she looks around the corner and is surprised to see some guards completely in incapacitated. One's unconscious, one's hanging from a lampost, one's in shock with blood pouring down his face, one's moaning about how he can't breathe and he thinks his ribs are broken. Montoya goes to one, gun drawn, and asks what happened. He just breaks down crying.


Meanwhile back inside the warehouse, Cobblepot tells his men to send the police a message. They know about his warehouse, so he says to load up the trucks/boats and burn the building down with the cop still inside. All of the men start pouring gasoline everywhere and as one nears a corner of some pallets, he gets pulled screaming out of view. Cobblepot orders his other men to go investigate. They slowly look around.


We don't see what happens, only Penguin's reaction as we hear the screaming. The guards start firing their guns and set off the fuel, starting a fire. Cobblepot runs to the other side of the warehouse to his office as he gets on his radio and calls for any guards to come and help. Montoya bursts into the room, which is now engulfed in flames. She sees the cop tied up and quickly hurries to free him. She says they need to get out of there, but he's still determined, "Not without Cobblepot." He goes after him, Montoya reluctantly follows him into the flames.


We go back to Cobblepot who's hiding in his office with the door locked, waiting for his backup. He has a gun so large that he looks awkward holding it. He backs up to a dark section of his office. Just behind him in the pitch blackness, two glowing eyes appear.


(http://i.imgur.com/6crfRe9.jpg)


He turns just in time to get brutally shoved into his desk before being pulled up and having his face bashed against the door so hard it actually breaks open. Penguin's backup arrives, but they're so stunned by what they see that nobody makes a move. Cobblepot's hurt badly, blood's pouring down his face and he's crying, moaning for someone to help him as this black silhouette with glowing eyes drags him by his foot. He slowly drags him through the burning building before disappearing through the exit. Montoya and the other cop get there just in time to see it. The main cop is only stunned for a moment before he chases the two outside.


The cop draws his gun and points it at the dark figure, which turns to look at him. You can't really see him, he's just a big black shadow with white eyes, and he's got Cobblepot on his knees. The cop calls for him to let Cobblepot go and put his hands in the air. The whole time Penguin is crying and screaming to shoot him. The figure puts his hands in the air, and seems to be complying. Just as the cop starts to inch closer there's a sudden onslaught of light, loud noise, and wind. He shields his face as the figure fires a cable up into the light and grabs Cobblepot, who starts yelling "No, no, no!" As they both get pulled into the air, and the flying vehicle takes off before we ever get to see it. The cop is just left to stand in bewilderment as Montoya joins him.


In the denouement of that episode, we find out that the thugs who witnessed it started telling people that they saw Oswald Cobblepot get dragged straight into hell by some sort of "Bat Man." The cop is furious that he didn't get a chance to bring the Penguin in, and is deadset against the Batman, with Bullock doubting the whole story. Gordon withholds judgement. Thinking that the Batman surely killed Cobblepot, they're surprised when he shows up at the main desk, beaten to a pulp and holding a box of files and bagged items. He turns himself in and gives the police the evidence they'd collected, plus some extra. But through some bribes and such, he essentially gets off free, with only most of his assets being obtained by the police. He's only left with his nightclub "The Iceberg Lounge."


In the final scene of the season, Gordon goes to The Iceberg just as it re-opens and finds Cobblepot sitting at a table by himself, staring at his drink. Gordon sarcastically congratulates him for yet again skirting the law. Cobblepot has a few remarks about how he'll be back on top again, and it's only a matter of time. Gordon gets up to leave but comments, "I don't know if I could take it like you do... I mean, knowing he's out there... Watching me. I don't think I'd ever get a decent night's sleep again." He walks out. Someone approaches Cobblepot from his left side. He screams and recoils in fear only to see it's a waitress, who stutters before asking if he'd like another  drink. He shakily nods before being left alone again. The camera pans out on Oswald Cobblepot, alone at his club, a complete shell of his former self. Destroyed.


Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking. You're thinking, "But Lionel, it's supposed to be about Gordon and the police. You're just going to turn it into the Batman show." No. That's the thing. We never even hear Batman's voice (At least not until well after "shark jump" territory). We don't even get a good look at him. We only see the effect he plays on the force and on the criminals. We see a city and how it responds to having the Batman as a major element of its justice system. That's what's interesting about the Gotham City Police Department. It's the weird dynamic they have with Batman and the supercriminals. I feel like if they go too long without that element then the show will just be another X-Files rehash.


I'm venturing into fan fiction at this point, but whatever. That's how I would do it.

I would be so down for that show. I just know I will be disappointed with what we have only for knowing it will never be as good as this could potentially be.

If you do a Google image search for Godzilla 2013 Comic-Con, you'll come up with a bunch of conceptual models that show the direction they're going with the big guy. Gareth Edwards has said that his vision was that somebody from Japan saw Godzilla in 1954 (like, for real) and ran back to Toho and tried to describe him. Their movies were the result, but Gareth's version is the real thing.

There's really no comparison to GINO--they're making him enormous and muscle-bound. But seriously, do that Google search. The little statues give me so much hope.

Garfield states his contract is up after ASM3, so I wonder if he will be in these next few movies after that.

And if Spider-Man isn't in either movie, I wonder if that will be the loophole Marvel needs to get th he franchise back (or is it just any movie using the characters from the license had to be made every 5 years)?

Is there realy any value to it besides lesbian scene(s)?


I like Mulholland Drive and Bound for that but i also find some additional justification that these are also genuinely great movies.

Barry Allen was introduced on Arrow last night. uptick in ratings for the night. Character intro was successful and backdoor pilot episode has been moved into full solo-pilot episode.

Details for that Pilot are sufacing.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=49531

1. Casting for Iris West is be for an African American actress
2. She is Barry Allens best friend and secret love interest.
3. She is a Psych Major and her dad is a Police Detective
4. They took in Barry when his mother was killed and father wrongly accused of murdering her
5. ......?
6. Wally West to be the first (half)Black Flash!?

Quote
IRIS - 22-28 - African-American - As smart as she is beautiful, Iris is in grad school studying psychology. She's also Barry's mile a minute, fast-talking, quick-witted best friend. Her father, Detective West, took in Barry when his mother was murdered, and his father was wrongly accused and imprisoned for her murder. In a tough childhood for Barry, she was the one "not tough" thing. She's unaware of Barry's strong feelings for her.

DETECTIVE WEST - Late 40s to Early 50s - African American -Detective West is an honest, blue-collar cop who's seen it all. A soulful, funny caring father to Iris, and a surrogate father to Barry, West came up through the foster system himself. He took in Barry after his mother's murder and his father's imprisonment. He believes in Barry and supports Barry's efforts to prove his father's innocence.

The Flash pilot is being handled by some of the same people responsible for Arrow, so high hopes are had.
And here is the Logo

Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) may be up for the part of the Adoptive Father of Barry Allen - The Flash
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=91705
Quote
At about the 4:50 mark of the Cross The Streams podcast (click here to listen), Ghostbusters' Ernie Hudson discussed his upcoming projects. "In the meantime there's a spin-off of Arrow called Flash," he said. "I'm meeting the creators next week. So, I have to prepare for that." When asked which role he was up for, Hudson replied "His adoptive dad,...or the dad of..."

Before Hudson could disclose any further information, he decides to cut himself off as to not reveal too much. "His (Barry Allen) dad has a problem," is the final morsel of info that slips from his lips. And based on Barry Allen's (Grant Gustin) debut in CW's Arrow we know that Barry's father was incarcerated for the murder of Barry's mother. So, if we take Ernie Hudson's information, and a casting call that Bludhaven Banter posted it's pretty safe to assume that Hudson is up for the role of Detective West, Iris' father.

The frontrunner for Luthor is apparently all Black Men.  8)

Apparently the studio wants Joaquin Phoenix for Lex
http://variety.com/2013/film/news/warners-joaquin-phoenix-batman-superman-1200969925/

Quote
After already reaping notice for his performance in “Her,” Joaquin Phoenix could be working with Warner Bros. again on the studio’s biggest property.

Sources tell Variety that the studio wants the Oscar-nominated actor for a role in the upcoming untitled Batman-Superman pic. However, it’s very early in the process and even if Warners offers Phoenix a role, it’s not clear he would accept as the actor has steered clear of big-budget pics in the past few years, leaning towards movies with a more prestige feel.
[...]
Though sources couldn’t confirm what the role is, it’s believed to be for the main antagonist, which is likely to be Lex Luthor. Names like Jason Momoa and Callan Mulvey have been linked to the film but even if those actors are cast, sources are saying that they wouldn’t play the main villain, and that Warners has always wanted someone who would be a slam dunk in the role.

Ben Affleck (aka Batfleck) already using his power of influence on the BvS script!?
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/batman-superman-chris-terrio-write-666735 (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/batman-superman-chris-terrio-write-666735)

Quote
Warner Bros. is bringing Argo writer Chris Terrio into the Batman-Superman universe.

The Oscar-winning writer, who recently changed agencies from CAA to WME, has been brought in to write a draft of the Man of Steel follow-up, Batman-Superman.

Terrio has a strong relationship with the studio and the film's star Ben Affleck. Affleck directed and starred in Argo, which won last year's best picture Oscar for Warners.
[...]
David Goyer wrote the screenplay, which is based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (Superman) and Bob Kane (Batman). But sources say Terrio has been brought in to get the script in shape before filming begins. Goyer has been tied up with a number of other DC Comics titles including Sandman.

Good News? Bad News? Hope for the script?

So, they have been busy casting all kinds of actors for roles in this movie and now they are realizing that maybe they need a better script and starting to do re-writes. That is not good. Maybe if I look up the writer's other works I'll have a better idea of whether this is good or not but writing Argo does not impress me.

Argo was an ok movie but overall, a lot of situations felt contrived. The children pieced together the shredded pics of the missing American Embassy workers just as Affleck arrives. Goodman and Arkin's characters are being held up by a film shoot just as the guard phones to check on the American's story. The guards chase the airplane all across the runway but nobody seems to see this or cause the airplane to stop. It tried to be suspenseful but it just caused me to roll my eyes. I just don't get why so many people thought it was such a good movie. It was fine enough but I'm finding it more and more forgettable and have to remind myself the movie exists at times. Thus, it is not encouraging news that this SvsB has hired this writer.

Could go either way.  You can easily have too many rewrites, but we don't know exactly what they're working with currently.  Hopefully, he's not just there to further represent Ben Affleck's influence and is able to contribute positively.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 18, 2013, 06:56:34 PM
I'm sure lots of people would consider it good news that Goyer's script is being revised/fine-tuned at all outside of Goyer, and some may even say that Affleck, being a comic guy, should hopefully have a good influence (through Terrio) on whatever Goyer came up with.


If Affleck is influencing the script, then it probably means that Kevin Smith may be indirectly advising as well, as I hear that Affleck and Smith are quite close and would probably discuss such things privately.

I'm hoping that they remember that non-comic book people are gonna watch this movie. Normal movie goers do not know who Nightwing is. Nor are they familiar with Martian Manhunter. Too many new characters is just going to be confusing. You've got two headliners, there's no need overcrowd.

They are taking the shortcut to the Avengers, unfortunately, I don't think it will have the same pay off since it won't exactly have the same build up.
If this next movie fails to hold it's audience, or even build one on top of Man of Steel, then the universe is effectively dead before it really began.

So hopefully most of these other characters are mostly cameos and/or part of a 5-10 minute post credit short that kinda introduces them for the next movie. A JL Teaser of sorts.
Having an established Superman, a new Batman, a new Lex Luther and possibly 1 other Big Bad (played by failed Conan?) is already a big thing to juggle. A cameo or minor role/cameo by Wonder Woman and/or Nightwing is already jam packing it with introductions to "new" characters. Lots of back stories to fill, personalities to construct and relationships to build.
Only going to be more difficult when you add in Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, The Flash, Green Arrow and possibly even Aquaman.

The only way I see it working out is if the do a 'lord of the rings' and get the actors for multiple films and record them all back-to-back with one cohesive story.

First film is BatVsSupes. Second is formation of JL. Third is the climax with a greater evil being defeated. The the first movie focuses on the rivalry of the two main protagonists whither minor introductions of the others teaing towards the rest of the trilogy.

They should stay separate until we can determine if the DCCU is on the same level as the Arrowverse.
But the DCCU better hurry up and figure this **** out, because the Arrowverse not only has a headstart, but they are burning through the DC villian list faster than DCCU can think of scripts ideas for movies.

Did they really do a shortcut to the Avengers though? The MCU didn't get hyped up until after the avengers and at the time most of the avengers audience had only seen the two Iron Man movies. Avengers itself barley refrenced the other films and used expoistion to explain who everyone was.




Its not surprising they brought the Argo dude in if Goyer is about to spend mot of his time on Sandman with JGL. I'm pretty sure one of the reasons why Affeleck to the Batman role in the frist place because he gets first pick to direct future Batman films and he's probably in the top three to direct Justice League.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 19, 2013, 12:05:18 PM
Even if most of the Avengers audience only saw the first 2 Ironman movies (in the theater) they had still heard of The Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger and likely saw them on DVD or were familiar with the story through some one  they know that did see it. There was a 5 year 5 movie build up that generated tons of HYPE for the Avengers. Part of that HYPE building was the now famous Marvel post credit scenes that were connecting the movies and teasing the team up.

DC has Man of Steel, And then MoS 2: Justice League lite, followed by Justice League.
They are jumping right into it, no real build up, just tossing everyone into the mix and sorting it out later, at least that's what it seems like.

And I'm not thinking that the way Marvel did it is the only way, but it sure was effective.
I think a movie with just Batman and Superman would have been a big enough event movie on its own, seems like they are taking a short cut to cram a bunch of other people in there too just to do Justice League next, unless they have a slew of unannounced movies they are releasing in between.

Post by: Khushrenada on December 19, 2013, 02:20:40 PM
Frankly, I don't see why a build-up is even necessary. It's not like Star Wars had to have multiple movies first showing you adventures of Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and others. It just went straight into the story introducing the audience to all those characters and where they were at in life. Same with Lord of the Rings. We didn't get some movies of Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas and others first. The movie just went into the story and introduced the characters to the audience.

Moreover, a Justice League movie already has two familiar characters in for the audience with Batman and Superman. Plus there is already name recognition for characters like Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern and even Aquaman. Shows like the Big Bang Theory mentioning and talking about those characters means that those names and characters are things people will have already heard of it however cursery. That little bit of knowledge may be even to have them see a Justice League to find out more of what these characters are or to see them in action.

The idea of making a movie for every character to bring them together for a movie is an interesting idea but it doesn't change the fact that those characters are still be introduced to a lot of people for the first time. I'd never read or really knew anything about Ironman before watching the first movie but I still went and enjoyed it. It didn't require a build-up of movies introducing all the characters in that movie either. Just do a well done story and the movie will be fine.

Personally, I've never seen the Thor Movies or The Incredible Hulk or Captain America. I actually didn't get around to watching The Avengers until it premiered on the Movie Channel and saw it then since I had no interest in most of the characters. In the end, it was an enjoyable flick of big silly action like I expected. It was fun but nothing I have a desire to watch again anytime soon. But it is also why I don't buy into the belief that DC has to introduce a majority of the Justice Leagers in their own seperate movies first. The Dark Knight Rises practically made the same amount of money as The Avengers and that was one single superhero with only two movies building up to it. I think it shows that having Batman in a Justice League movie should be enough for it to still be a huge success and get people to see such a film.

Maybe it doesn't make as money as The Avengers because there is less familiarity with the other characters so some moviegoers are hesitant. But again, as long as the script and story are solid enough, I don't think it will bomb. Frankly, if you go the trilogy route with the Justice League concept, then I don't see what the problem is with introducing all the characters and forming the league in the first movie. Even The Avengers spent a lot of time introducing the characters and have them meet up and fight each other before finally rallying together and becoming a team. Even with all those other movies, the movie didn't begin with The Avengers formed and in a team. They still had to do the origin of it.

If DC just started out with a Justice League movie and went from there, I don't see why it would be such a bad thing. From that introduction, you can then branch out and have the different league members star in their own movies. How is that a worse approach? That said, trying to jam things into MoS2 to speed up the process to a Justice League movie or out of fear that people need to see these characters in other movies first could end up doing more harm to the idea if done poorly. Right now, it is starting to sound like the result will be an Iron Man 2 of haphazardness. Moreover, the first Man of Steel was just ok but it had a few issue also. Instead of looking to refine that franchise and get it successful on its own, it is going to be this half step to a Justice League movie and where will that leave the Superman movies after it?

There is a lot of Background stuff that Avenger didn't do and didn't have to because of those movies.

In your Example Khush all the characters are really not as deep and rich as the DC and Marvel characters are.  How could they be they didn't have all the Lore.  Star Wars character are now more fleshed out.

These are Icons in their own way but they quirks that come from having such a history makes no sense without the context.  Why should the average person even care about Justice League?  Even the excellent cartoon series had the Superman, Batman, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, shoot even a little of the Zeta Project to set them up and they were a lot richer for it.

Like I said, I don't think the way Marvel did it was the only way to achieve an Avengers type movie, but it was certainly a successful way to do it.

The way that BvS is sounding, they might as well call it Man of Steel 2: Super Friends

They have a blockbuster event in Batman and Superman in the same movie.
introducing this version of Batman, the new Lex Luthor, Doomsday (or whoever the big bad is), fleshing out the conflict between batman and supes, resolving the conflict between bats and supes, setting up the motivation of Lex and resolving the whole movie would've been excellent and a great base for introducing more characters and expanding the world in future movies.
But now it sounds like they are using this spectacle as a way to introduce too much, and if you have too much that needs explaining, with no time to explain it, then the whole movie suffers.

Who are all these characters? where do they come from? how did they end up here? where were they before Superman came around? So many questions that will have no time. And if they can pull it off, them more power to them, but I just don't see the reason to rush to Justice League when they can milk this like Marvel has and flesh out their world and their characters with 1 or 2 more movies.

Make this movie MoS2 (Bats & Supes meet WW - introducing Cyborg*), then a Batman Flick (w/ Nightwing & Green Arrow), then Worlds Finest (Bats, Supes & WW meets Flash & Aquaman) then Justice League (introducing Green Lantern & Martian Man Hunter - Cosmic threat is looming).

There is no rush, they don't need to get Justice League out as close to Avengers 2 as possible, there is no need to compete head to head. Don't make us choose, because MoS wasn't all that great, Green Lantern was bad, and I have my doubts about this MoS2: Superfriends movie too.

Saw Expendables 2 and man it's like night and day as to how much better this is than the first film. The first film was positively amateur hour with Sly at the helm and I am glad he was man enough to give the direction to somebody who is confident and competent. Madcow camera, gone, closeups on peoples pores, gone, nonexistent lighting, gone, awful CGI, gone, plot, gone, slide show editing, gone.

It's just a lot of people getting shot up in order to setup for the punch line. I found it to be more of a violent comedy than an action film. I love the self parodies, the references to their real life achievements, the fun everyone is having. Yes, this is all in a backdrop where 100's of people are getting killed while JCVD plays a cartoon villain.

It doesn't top the 80's movies and they get to keep their crown, but it is a fine parody.

The DC Bats vs Supes Rumor Mill keeps on churning.

and it looks like The Rock was teasing a meeting with DC
Quote from: The Rock
"We just had a big meeting w/ Warner Bros CEO re: @DCComics 2014," Johnson responded to a fan asking if he'd ever play a comic book character. "[W]e will partner up and create the cool bad assert."

rumor has it that it was for John Stewart/Green Lantern

(http://i.imgur.com/taB1Rmo.jpg)

That is certainly one way to wipe away the disinterest the RR version may have brought to the character.

But he was also in talks to previously be Lobo and Black Adam.
I'm guessing the interest in Luke Cage has passed and The Rock will now go DC instead. :(

Arrow returns Wed. Jan 15th with an episode called "Blast Radius"



The trailer doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Particle Accelerator explosion in Central City, so I wonder what the name of the episode is really referring to.

Marvel gets the rights to produce starvwars comics in 2015 and this is the last year that star Wars EU will exist. Under Disney they're getting rid of levels of cannon and going forward like Halo every official product from comics, to games, to books are cannon.

Currently the only things that are Cannon at the out set are the six films, and the clone wars series, being joined by Rebels later this year.

He (Quicksilver) will also be in Avengers 2 along with Scarlet Witch.

They are mutants, but were Avengers first, so they slipped through the loophole.
I'm guessing FOX didn't have enough room or time to squeeze in Scarlet Witch too... otherwise why not. Quicksilver wasn't added until after Marvel announced they were using Quick and Scarlet in the next movie.

Gotham, the Detective( soon to be Commissioner) Gordon focused series, will apparently end like Smallville with Bruce dawning the cape.
Will also have origins for key Batman villains including The Joker.

But you need Bruce Wayne/Batman for the Jokers Origin to work. Even Zero Year got that right., by never showing who the leader of the red hood gang was and than throwing a wrench into who the joker was.

That was my first thought when I read that too.... but we also have no idea if this show is supposed to carry on as anything other than in it's own bubble.

Or maybe it will be The Joker before he became the Joker.
and maybe they will do this show how The CW couldn't do Smallville.
Maybe it will go from "Gotham: The Police Squad" the show about Dectective Gordan policing the city of Gotham. Near the end things get out of hand and this leads to the creation of Batman, which leads into the new show "Gotham: The Dark Knight", a show about Batman working just outside of the law, but with Commissioner Gordon to clean up Gotham.

Rumor/Insider Speculation has it that Justice League will be filmed back to back w/ Man of Steel 2 aka Batman vs Superman, much like The Hobbit Trilogy, which would account for all these characters being cast.

http://latino-review.com/2014/01/batman-vs-superman-dcs-game-changer-casting-notes/
Quote
A trusted source says that the unnamed DC film that Dwayne Johnson will be working on in 2014 will, indeed, be a Justice League movie. That’s not all, though, because this has folks wondering how the JL movie can be underway in 2014, when WB/DC are in full-swing production of BvS. Well, the current thought amongst some insiders is that Batman vs Superman and Justice League are going to be shot back-to-back, ala The Hobbit films, the Pirates of The Caribbean sequels, and the latter two Matrix flicks.

Why?

- To maximize everyone’s schedules. Ben Affleck is a busy man, Henry Cavill is in-demand, and Johnson is a workaholic. Not to mention Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and the rest of the unannounced cast are no slouches either.
- Because Batman vs Superman is going to end with an insane cliffhanger/teaser that leads right into Justice League and, like those other back-to-back productions, they want to be able to deliver the second film within a year to strike while the iron is hot. Could this very aggressive approach be how DC intends to pull the rug right out from under rival Marvel Studios? Sure could be.

This would also explain the abundance of characters we keep hearing linked to BvS, and should also soothe the fears of folks that think it’s going to be too loaded a film. In essence, all this talk of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Flash, Green Lantern, etc might all just be leading to a single gigantic group cameo before the credits roll, starting a fever pitch of anticipation for Justice League in 2016.

As usual, take this with a grain of salt. It’s an idea that’s been formulated using a combination of insider information and good old fashioned speculation from folks who’ve been in the game a long, long time. Not to mention, the logic seems to pan out.

other news at the link states that Jason Momoa says he is not in the movie
and Josh Halloway (Lost) may be up for the role of Aquaman... but TV commitments may interfere with that.

I called it. They are pulling a Lord of the Rings. Best way to pull off what they want to do and catch up the DC-verse to where Marvel is in the shortest amount of time.


My wife will be devastated that Jason Momoa will not be in it. She is in love with him.

Origin story is OK by me, just don't make it a 'tragic' one where we are meant to sympathize with him. That is more where they can ruin the origin story. Original Burton Batman flick did it alright.

I dunno, man... I still don't like it.  I don't like the idea that Batman and the Joker have some kind of secret past together and I don't like the idea that Batman "created" the Joker.  I want my Joker to be some crazy loon who's just crazy for the sick **** of it and no other reason.  He's chaos.  You don't rationalize chaos.

The Joker having a mysterious origin helps the character.  To most of Gotham's citizens, Batman came out of nowhere to fight crime.  To Batman, the Joker came out of nowhere, just to **** with him.  It's as if the universe had to create him just to balance out creating Batman.

Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Ceric on January 15, 2014, 09:25:28 AM
I like The Jokers origin how it originally was intended.

You have this person who already had a persona and was already crazy which Batman actively trying to thwart.  Then in a botched attempt Batman manages to make him even Crazier.   Becoming one of Batman's greatest failures in what he is doing and he's going to have to live with it.

In the end we the readers know that Batman didn't really create Joker.  He was a loon well before Batman but, we still see Batman still not get that for a while.  The problem with most modern Jokers origins is that they no longer build the character because they feel he has enough depth as a character just being the Joker and doesn't need the depth the background gives.

In the Gordon series they could easily make the person who will be the Joker eventually a recurring villian.  It would fit the character and be interesting.

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/superm-1201062720/ (http://variety.com/2014/film/news/superm-1201062720/)

Quote
Warner Bros. has pushed production on the untitled “Superman-Batman” to the second quarter of this year and it will now be released on May 6, 2016.

The Peter Pan origin story “Pan” is being put in its place on July 17, 2015. “Superman-Batman” will now square against an unknown Marvel film which Marvel has still not announced yet.

The film is still in pre-production with Henry Cavill set to star alongside Affleck, and Zack Snyder is on to helm.

In a statement, Warners said the decision was made to “help fully realize the vision.” Warners is still casting the film including the main villain role which sources tell Variety is still in Joaquin Phoenix’s court.

There were far too many block busters in 2015 anyway, if you guys had seen the line of of movies to be released.

This marks another film to leave what was turning out to be a very crowded 2015 summer with “Pirates of the Caribbean 5″ and the new “Star Wars” each moving out of the frame.

Wait, there is a new Jurassic Park coming soon? Was this discussed already and I forgot? Or is this that 'reimagining/reboot' that was alluded to a while ago. I'm hoping it keeps at least one or two of the original actors. Hoping it is a genuine sequel of some kind as I'm a bit burned out of reboots.

Jurrassic World is the new movie. Look it up.
They get the park up and running like a Disney Land, it takes place 20 years after the original (modern day today), a new type of dinosaur isn't with the program though, and all hell breaks loose. Those are the only details I remember at this point. other than Velociraptors are supposedly tames and so are the T-Rex's.

Rumor: Supposedly someone broke the Batfleck and now production was halted for at least 6 weeks until he recovers, which pushes the movie into 2016 instead of late 2015.

but if that's not it, remember that the script was getting the "once over" by the Argo writer, and then ontop of that there was the rumor that they were going to do Justice League back2back, so it might be a script overhaul that is causing the delay.

and pushing into May 2016 puts it in direct competition with the following movies:

It will now bow on Mothers’ Day weekend and is playing chicken with Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse which comes only a week after. Talk about pushing a monster on your tail end.

Its probably both, its even more clear that they will probably shoot both movies at the same time since thats Warner's MO these days.


Plus when you look at the edict that Warner wants to push they probably have two low budget DC related films to try to push for next year.


http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/12/02/spring-and-fall-the-new-slots-for-dc-entertainment-low-budget-superhero-films/


They'd end up being in the range of Iron Man 1 and The Incredible Hulk.

Can we really look forward to a Booster Gold, Lobo and Cyborg movie?
Now seeing how Deathstroke has already been handled on TV, do you really think we will get the movie? and do you think they will tie in the Arrowverse with the Goyerverse? It seems like a smart play, but depending on WB commitment to keeping the quality on the movie side, we don't want to drag Arrowverse down with the ship.

And tying them together might immediately slap handcuffs on Arrow's access since they would have to evaluate the long term role of all the characters and the actors playing them. Things could become very complicated very quickly and WB seems like it's already trying to sort a mess on it hands already.

Joaquin Phoenix is close to being cast as Lex
Jason Momoa & Josh Halloway have parts in the movie
No post credits scenes, but short movies for other characters instead
Movies to end with cliff hangers
Batfleck injury is minor
WB/DC still undecided on back 2 back shooting of films
Superman will sport a new do

I could see them quickly filming a Suicide Squad film for next year. The an for the other films are supposed to be lower budget affairs that can make up their box office stuff very quickly.

It would probably be the easiest way to merge the TV verse with the movie one. You already have an Amanda Waller and a Deadshot a d using more TV actors for a short film pretty much males it that they could show up on Arrow and the Flash again.

Timelines can be pretty much done given that MOS didn't give a year it took place in. Remember Barry is in a coma till his series start so everything should line up for series progression.

Superman will sport a new do


Given that the Batman suit is apparently a completely new look, I am not going to be surprised if the next movie has a capeless Superman.  Especially because they made a point of Zod throwing him with his cape.

Now that there are some production issues with Bats vs Supes, and a rewrite/fine-tuning of the script has been ordered, apparently there were some layoffs and one of those people leaked the supposed script summary (pre-rewrite of course)

*POTENTIAL SPOILERS* take with giant salt lick of course *POTENTIAL SPOILERS*
Quote
The villians are Lex Luthor and Metallo

Batman forms a UN type deal to stop Superman from destroying another city

Aquaman is in it, but not called Aquaman. He's there because the world engine in the ocean did something to the fish

Jason Momao is definitely up for Aquaman

Wonderwoman poses as a Wayne Enterprises investor to retrieve an item that belongs to her people.

Lex Luthor is in the shadows a lot, a manipulator. Not much face time with Superman.

Robin betrayed Batman at some point, leading to a falling out between them

The Batcave was super cool looking, and the mobile looked similar to Burton's

Lois is investigating Lex.

Metallo "kills" Clark

The Daily Planet is bought by Lex Luthor for PR purposes

At the end Superman is living in exile, and the Justice League is an government approved superhero team.


I'm not sure how legit this is, and the poster of this over at GAF claims no confirmation other than it came from someone he knows that used to work on the movie.

The Black Cop from Law & Orders now plays The Black Cop on The Flash.
http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/jesse-l-martin-flash-pilot-cw/

Quote
Law & Order alum Jesse L. Martin is set to co-star opposite Grant Gustin in the CW pilot The Flash, based on the DC comic. The project, from Warner Bros TV and Berlanti Productions, is an origin story about Barry Allen aka The Flash (Gustin), a Central City assistant police forensics investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. Martin will play Detective West, an honest, blue-collar cop who is a surrogate father to Allen. This is a familiar territory for Martin, who is probably best known for his nine-year stint as Detective Ed Green on NBC’s Law & Order. He had been approached for several pilots before choosing The Flash.

I've never been a big fan of The Flash, and I remember the TV show that aired back in the early 90's, but I'm really looking forward to this series thanks to Arrow.

That sounds. . .busy.  Like, there's just a bit too much going on.  I'm glad they're using that villain and Lex in a cool way (if all that's true), but there's too much extra.  I think they over did it with Man of Steel and are going to overdo it with this one.

I wad never into DC and always thought Superman to be overpowered.
Never really read their comics as most of their popular heroes sounded stupid.
Mostly familiar with the characters through movies and cartoons.

I really like a lot of the DC DTV stuff including the cartoons, but I really only enjoyed Marvel comics.
Ironically, I never really liked most of the Marvel DTV stuff, only some of the cartoons, like Spider-Man and X-Men.The rest were horrible.

Superman is occasionally overpowered. His best stories either don't fully revolve around him or place him in a sort of strong moral dilemma.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on January 22, 2014, 06:48:22 PM
He is quite ridiculously overpowered when I see panels of him towing planets, or of him being basically a GOD amongst Superpeople.

SO his best stories either don't center on himself or require him to be holding back for some reason or another. other wise he has the instant win button everytime.

There is no one stronger, because "he is as strong as he needs to be". The Flash is only barely faster. He could end most conflicts with laser vision, he can freeze things with his breath, and he can fly at supersonic speeds. That's not even all of his powers. He is practically impervious, apparently doesn't actually breathe oxygen or doesn't need to, can see a a sub atomic level, can see through everything but lead, hear whispers from miles away, supposedly can read minds and some other more inconsistent powers from way back in the day of comics.

How do you fight such a creature? You have to nerf him everytime, because between the supersonic speed and the laser vision, how do you ever even get close enough to him without him knowing you're coming. how do you land a punch? dodge a punch? or even know that he moved?
He has far too much stuff going on to be interesting otherwise.
I've seen good cartoons using him, but still, he had to be held back to a point where other people were allowed to participate and we could actually follow along.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on January 22, 2014, 06:59:51 PM
In the best stories, he's not nerfed, per se.  He just isn't shown to be "playing on god-mode".  He has limitations, and the best stories deal with them.

In All Star Superman, he's dying and has to cope with it.
In What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and The American Way?, he's pushed to a moral limit.  Int the follow up to that story, he's pushed to another extreme.

Superman can be a deep character at times, just needs to be in the right hands.

You're not reading the right Superman stories if you think his powers obstruct a good story. In All Star Superman he's probably the strongest he ever was and yet it not only spoils the plot but enhances it tenfold giving it sort of mythical feel with 12 feats.

Lots of great Superman feature him moving planets and time-traveling by sneezing or something and these were some of the finest comic book stories i ever read.

2 DC Characters have just been cast for The Flash TV series on The CW
http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/flash-casting-rick-cosnett-danielle-panabaker-cw/
Quote
The Vampire Diaries‘ Rick Cosnett and Danielle Panabaker (Shark) are set to co-star opposite Grant Gustin and Jesse L. Martin in the CW pilot The Flash, based on the DC comic. The project, from Warner Bros TV and Berlanti Productions, is an origin story about Barry Allen aka The Flash (Gustin), a Central City assistant police forensics investigator who FLASH_Arrow w copyarrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. Cosnett plays star Detective Eddie Thawne, a recent transfer to the Central City Police Department, whose past is a mystery and who harbors a dark secret. Panabaker plays Caitlin Snow, a highly intelligent bioengineering expert who lost her fiancé during an explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs. Originally envisioned as a backdoor pilot episode of Arrow, Flash will now film a regular pilot directed by David Nutter, a move clearly geared toward a series pickup.

Who are those 2 Characters you ask?
hover your mouse over their names in the article to find out.

We are still waiting to see who gets the role of the love interest Iris West.
My guess is that she will be of mixed descent, or light skinned in nature.

Future Sentinel looks not like a Sentinel at all, possibly shape shifting?


Blink looks fiiine. The only hot X-men cover. Future Magneto looks good too. and there is a shop of future Wolvie with the mask that also looks good.

The models look cool, if a bit grotesque, but the main reason why TMNT was cool was because it was funny. It was a bunch of babies turned Ninja who had a hilarious view of the world. That was it. The turtle part was always in the back. In fact, the turtle part was satire as it was a blatant metaphor of their sheltered life.

I'll always be a fan of TMNT. I wish I still had my cereal bowls that changed colors when you added milk, but damn it, Micheal Bay. The TMNTs aren't cool because they kick ass; they're cool because they kick ass and ask a rat if they're ass kicking deserved pizza.

Some spoilers to post, I won't actually post them, but I'll let you know they exist if you're curious enough to look them up.

IGN has an Arrow spoiler for next week's episode. I'll just say that another Spartacus cast member joins the show, as a character that is part of something we've been waiting to see more of.

Comicbookresources has a potential spoiler for X-Men: Days of Future Past. I think it was posted by a forum member and not the site itself, but goes through the whole movie, so it may be false. I'll just say that according to the "leak" part of the movie takes place in actual history, a very famous party of American history, and that mutants were involved and that's why it still has so many conspiracy theories to this day.

What I put under the spoiler tags are more teases than spoilers, so feel free to read without actually spoiling anything.

And if you want me to save you the trouble if looking, I can post the spoilers. Just let me know.

It sounds like they may take Lex the Social Network way then. Have him an arrogant genius full or petty jealousy and craving of self-worth. I prefer the S:TAS or even Smallville version frankly. But it's not my movie so I'll take it for what it is.

Quote from: Press Release
BURBANK, CA, January 31, 2014 – Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Jesse Eisenberg has been set to star as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons will play Alfred in the upcoming Zack Snyder untitled Superman/Batman film. The dual announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Snyder stated, “Lex Luthor is often considered the most notorious of Superman’s rivals, his unsavory reputation preceding him since 1940. What’s great about Lex is that he exists beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. He’s a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman. Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions.”

The director added, “As everyone knows, Alfred is Bruce Wayne’s most trusted friend, ally and mentor, a noble guardian and father figure. He is an absolutely critical element in the intricate infrastructure that allows Bruce Wayne to transform himself into Batman. It is an honor to have such an amazingly seasoned and gifted actor as Jeremy taking on the important role of the man who mentors and guides the guarded and nearly impervious façade that encapsulates Bruce Wayne.”

Snyder’s film stars Henry Cavill, reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. The film also reunites “Man of Steel” stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

The new film is currently being written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Wesley Coller, David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.

The film is set to open worldwide on May 6, 2016, and is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, Batman characters created by Bob Kane, and Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.

WB Exec: Well, what do you think of that choice?
Asst.: frankly I think it would be a great fit.
WB Exec: Then I'll have the casting director get him in here to audition for the part.
::several weeks and phone calls later::
WB Exec: Thank you for joining us Mr. Heisenberg
Jesse: It's Eisenberg sir
WB Exec: Yeah, right, I haven't seen it myself, but my daughter was huge fan of your show Breaking Bad...

This movie sounds worse every day. The whole idea seems stupid to begin with, and they were taking a HUGE risk with Batfleck, but now it's just getting retarded.

Check out Esisenberg during this interview from Oct. 2013


He looks so uncomfortable the entire time, and he let the guy on the right just keep talking and talking.
I think he knew way back then that it was best not to say anything about the role at all.
Interview got cut just before that bead of sweat dropped off his brow though. close call.
I hope he can hold it together better when faced with the Man of Steel on one hand and The Dark Knight on the other.

Yeah, Eisenberg is kind of a "WTF" casting choice.  I don't think he has the range to be as complex as Lex is in the comics, and I also think that Lex Luthor needs a deep, seductive voice.

Shelter your childhoods.

Disney is making a Live Action Chip n Dales Rescue Rangers movie.
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/rescue-rangers-disney-developing-live-action-chip-n-dale-movie-1201080563/ (http://variety.com/2014/film/news/rescue-rangers-disney-developing-live-action-chip-n-dale-movie-1201080563/)
Quote
Disney is developing a live action film that will star its animated chipmunks Chip ‘n’ Dale.

Project will serve as an origin story for the Rescue Rangers, a team of detectives and crime fighters that also includes the mic Gadget Hackwrench and Monterey Jack and fly, Zipper.

The film is in early development with commercials director Rob Rugan writing the script, sources confirmed to Variety. Rugan, who is attached to direct “Genies” at Paramount, is also adapting book series “The Genius Files” at Warner Bros.

“Muppets Most Wanted”-producer Mandeville Films and Television’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will produce.

Project is essentially Disney’s version of Sony’s “Smurfs,” Fox’s “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and “Garfield” films, which inject cartoon characters into live action settings.

It makes sense, I just hope it turns out better than the movies that led the way.

So, he misspoke and called them Aliens...? then had to clarify that they were always mutants....?
I'm sure there was no rewriting of the script between those 2 events.

I think there was a solid year between events, so I'm sure there had to be some work done on the script.

But yeah, I think people are just assuming the worst with this movie because it's Michael Bay.  The original quote didn't help.  Everyone got pissed at that.

Interesting news for DC fans that also watch Arrow

Episode 16 = "Suicide Squad" and is a Diggle centric episode where he is saddled to the suicide squad for a mission

Episode 17 = "Birds of Prey" and it sounds like Canary, Huntress and "Oracle" cone together some how.

This show just keeps it moving. I've never been a big DC fan, so I'm not 100% familiar with the material, but this is probably my most anticipated show every week.

Forget this Bat VS Supes VS Justice League crap. I'm on the Arrow train. I see a lot of similarities between Batman and Arrow. Would be nice if they used the show as a ramp up to the movie. Could be a smooth way to do some universe building before the film releases.

I would kinda laugh if the movies don't do as good as they hoped, so then they start relying on the TV Arrowverse to pump the characters up so that the next movie does closer to projections.
Batfleck appearance in The Flash Series, stories of Superman saving metropolis on the news during Arrow. Wonder Woman suddenly on The Island during a flashback.
(please don't let that last one happen though. LOL)

I'm not sure if I want them to merge, but it would be awesome if they could, assuming the movies are any good... and the shows stay at a consistent quality or better than what they have been this season.

The Black Cop from Law & Orders now plays The Black Cop on The Flash.
http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/jesse-l-martin-flash-pilot-cw/

Quote
Law & Order alum Jesse L. Martin is set to co-star opposite Grant Gustin in the CW pilot The Flash, based on the DC comic. The project, from Warner Bros TV and Berlanti Productions, is an origin story about Barry Allen aka The Flash (Gustin), a Central City assistant police forensics investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. Martin will play Detective West, an honest, blue-collar cop who is a surrogate father to Allen. This is a familiar territory for Martin, who is probably best known for his nine-year stint as Detective Ed Green on NBC’s Law & Order. He had been approached for several pilots before choosing The Flash.

I've never been a big fan of The Flash, and I remember the TV show that aired back in the early 90's, but I'm really looking forward to this series thanks to Arrow.

They found Iris West, and she sure is purdy. Oh, and some guy named Vibe.

Deadline reveals that Candice Patton (The Game) has joined the cast of The CW's The Flash pilot. The series is set to debut this fall, and will feature a fully suited up Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) solving crimes in Central City as he attempts to uncover the truth behind the death of his mother. According to the site, Patton "will play Iris West, Allen’s fast-talking, quick-witted best friend who is also the daughter of Detective West (Martin), who serves as a surrogate father to Barry." Patton joins the recently cast Rick Cosnett (Detective Eddie Thawne) and Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow). How do you guys feel about this news? Sound off below!

UPDATE: Variety is reporting that Broadway’s Carlos Valdes is set to play, "mechanical engineering genius Cisco Ramon (DC Comics fans might know him better as Vibe)." That's all we know for now, while it's unclear whether or not there are any other major roles left to be cast. Barry Allen's father and his bosses at Central City PD certainly seem likely...

Amazon has started the next wave of Pilot for their Pilot program. 10 pilots this time around and they all seem much better in Quality than the fourteen put outast year. 

Going to be interesting to see if they can replicate Netflixes and to a lesser extent Hulus success.

Detective Gordon cast for Fox's Gotham
Southland & The O.C. Veteran to lead the GCPD in this Batman Origins Series
http://tvline.com/2014/02/08/gotham-series-cast-ben-mckenzie-commissioner-gordon/
Quote
Welcome to Gotham, bitch!
Southland/O.C. vet Ben McKenzie will play the lead role of a young Commissioner Detective James Gordon in Fox’s upcoming Batman origin series, TVLine has learned.

Exec-produced and penned by The Mentalist‘s Bruno Heller, the one-hour drama promises to explore the origin stories of Commissioner Gordon and the DC Comics villains that made Gotham famous.
Last month at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Fox president Kevin Reilly confirmed that Gotham will also follow a young Bruce Wayne’s journey to becoming Batman.

“This is all of the classic Batman characters, with a young Bruce Wayne, the Penguin, the Riddler [and] how they came to be,” he explained. “What events led up to [someone] becoming Catwoman…. all with Gotham teetering on the edge.
“This is not some adjunct companion series,” he added. “This is the Batman franchise, just backing it up [in chronology].”

So this is going to be more Gotham Central that we originally thought. That's good to know.

Here is more info on Gotham
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/01/13/foxs-gotham-is-a-batman-origin-story-and-will-have-a-christopher-nolan-esque-tone

Batman Origin, full Batman License for all characters and villains.

It could turn out pretty good.
Gotham on the brink of chaos, villains getting crazier and crazier, the limits of the law don't reach far enough, Batman was created out of necessity to operate outside of the law.

Let's hope they skip forward and this turns into Gotham Central sooner rather than later.

The young Bruce and Gordan dynamic.

But both of those ideas have been done better elsewhere.

In Gotham, Gordon is college football star and war hero turned rookie detective with the Gotham City Police Department. He’s idealistic “to the point of naiveté,” driven by a desire to live up to the standards of a father he barely knew, but he’s also “brave, energetic, and honest,” with a keen intelligence and an alpha-male ambition.

Though Gotham centers around Gordon, it also serves as an origin story for the city itself and for its most famous residents. That includes Bruce Wayne, who’ll be a 12-year-old boy at the start of the series, as well as the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin, and Catwoman are expected to appear.

The current plan is to end the series with Bruce putting on the famous cape and becoming Batman. As Fox president Kevin Reilly put it at the TCA winter press tour, “We will follow Bruce Wayne right up until the point where he gets interesting.”

bolded is the part I don't like, I know it focuses on Gordon, but I hope they get some Batman in there somewhere.

How is the series going to focus on Gordon, in Gotham, but also follow Bruce Wayne as he travels around the world under assumed names training for his war on crime?

Also, how is this series going to tell the origin of a bunch of characters who are generally portrayed as going-tights as a response to Batman?

"Oh, the gimmicks might be different, but you'd all be out there in some form or another bringing misery to Gotham."

Gotham makes no sense, the whole irony of the Batman is that as soon as Bruce put on the Cowl to fight organized crime, bigger threats come into play.

Looking forward to the supernatural spin off but the main series has been meandering so much. The recent episoide was pretty telling, when dean wants to Bank the monster chick just because she was a monster. I understand why dean needs to feel in the right, but after show has given us multiple examples that every monster or demon isn't evil than come on.

They could just build up the villains in their 'pre-costumed' state. Show them as petty criminals, gangsters and drug lords. Tease their dances on the brink of insanity. Keep the overall story arc tight and succinct running at most 5 seasons. Then let all hell break loose in the closing of the series as Batman enters the scene and the crazed criminals come out in their true glory.


Make each pre-villain the main antagonist for an episode arc or two then show them getting locked up in Arkham Asylum. Then, at the end of the series, show some catalyst person (like the Joker) arrive and cause a commotion that sets them all loose in the city. Maybe something like Scarecrow's hallucinating drug is exposed to all of these characters. It is released in the prison and all of these crazed criminals are then pushed into crazy overdrive and unleashed on the city.


They could easily then launch a new Batman movie or a Batman TV series. I'd like to see a 'trilogy' of Batman shows. One can be the Pre-Batman, a second focuses on the standard Batman and a final one that is a live-action interpretation of Batman Beyond to some degree. Each series could be about three to five seasons long.

Make each pre-villain the main antagonist for an episode arc or two then show them getting locked up in Arkham Asylum. Then, at the end of the series, show some catalyst person (like the Joker) arrive and cause a commotion that sets them all loose in the city. Maybe something like Scarecrow's hallucinating drug is exposed to all of these characters. It is released in the prison and all of these crazed criminals are then pushed into crazy overdrive and unleashed on the city.


They could easily then launch a new Batman movie or a Batman TV series. I'd like to see a 'trilogy' of Batman shows. One can be the Pre-Batman, a second focuses on the standard Batman and a final one that is a live-action interpretation of Batman Beyond to some degree. Each series could be about three to five seasons long.

With the expectiion of a few most if Batman's rouges were normal before becoming aupervillians. Only person your really left with is Penguin.

Bane was a perfectly good crime lord for awhile. Not in Gotham, but...

You could do some surprise things. Like a no-name criminal who pops up time and again eventually becomes Joker. Pamela Isley could be a botonist with eco-terrorist tendencies. Harley Quinzel could work at Arkham as a psychologist (like she does) and be an asset to the GCPD. Throw in some League of Shadows and you're good for several seasons. I mean, Agents of SHIELD makes it work without the big names.

Gotham cast The Penguin, Alfred, and 2 more
http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/foxs-gotham-casts-classic-batman-characters-the-penguin-alfred-pennyworth-1201097899/
Quote
Robin Lord Taylor will play Oswald Cobblepot, or the man better known as DC Comics villain the Penguin. With the brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal, Cobblepot is a low-level psychopath for gangster Fish Mooney, and hides his sadistic lust for power behind an exquisitely polite demeanor.

Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s butler, will be played by Sean Pertwee. A tough-as-nails ex-marine from East London, Pennyworth has loyally served the Wayne family. Now, in the wake of their tragic deaths, he’s fiercely protective of the young Bruce Wayne — the boy who will eventually become Batman.

Additionally, Zabryna Guevara has been cast as Captain Essen, Detective Gordon’s boss at the Gotham City Police Department Homicide Squad. Essen balances the two worlds of police and politics with a Machiavellian skill that’s as much corporate litigator as cop. Erin Richards will play Barbara Kean, the fiance of Detective Gordon (McKenzie). A sophisticated emergency doctor, Kean stands by her husband amid the corrupt world of Gotham.

Hey, do you guys remember that 90's NBC The Flash TV show?

Looks like the CW guys have cast him to play an unspecified recurring role on The Flash for the CW
http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/02/11/the-flash-john-wesley-shipp/
Quote
The CW’s The Flash pilot has booked the star of CBS’ single-season 1990 TV series The Flash — John Wesley Shipp — who played Barry Allen/The Flash. Shipp will guest star in the pilot in a “mystery role,” says Warner Bros. TV, “with the part intended to be a recurring guest star in series.” After his role on The Flash, Shipp later co-starred on The WB’s Dawson’s Creek.
The CW has ordered a stand-alone Flash pilot in addition to the embedded episodes in Arrow that introduced Grant Gustin as Allen. The show also stars Candice Patton, Rick Cosnett, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh and Jesse L. Martin.

I thought Barry Allen was just hanging out, mixing chemicals, when he got struck by lightning and then became the Flash.  Is this guy made for the show?  So that he can have friends who are in on his secret?

As for that other guy. . .Reverse Flash?

I don't know about the first guy, but The Flash will need a mentor for some guidance, or a partner and support team of some sort if they are gonna loosely follow the Arrow structure with a small group of those in the the know and all their surrounding supporting characters.

as far as The Old NBC Flash being cast, GAF speculation so far is Jay Garrick, the Original Bowl Hat Flash.

Miles Teller is not Reed Richard looking at all.
Jamie Bell ok I guess.
So are they going to Black Face Kate Mara or White Face Michael B. Jordan?

Seriously either cast both of the Storm's the same race or cast another Fantastic Four as a different race.

Yeah that makes no sense. Thing should be played by a bigger guy too. Michael Chiklis was actually perfect. No one in that group makes any sense. Ioan Gruffud was the perfect Mr. Fantastic too. The casting in the last two movies was actually pretty decent (aside from the obvious fake contacts of Jessica Alba), it's just the writing that was horrible.

I don't really care what they are doing for this movie as I have no interest in this being done by Fox, especially with this cast. I really wanted rights to covert, so I go into this movie with less than zero expectations, assuming it every really gets of the ground.

Yes.  Yes it is.  If Memory Serves there are a few stories that rely on them being genetically related.  Also Ben is the adopted member of the Fantastic 4 Family in the end.  It just makes the whole dynamic weird.  Its important for some parts that you instantly recognize that Jonny and Sue are siblings.

I believe it has to enter actual production by October. They seem far enough along to make that production goal, but fingers crossed that they just decide not to pursue a 3rd unsuccessful F4 movie and certainly not a 4th one after that.
The hope is that assuming this one fails like the previous 2, Fox will just give the rights back like they did with Ghost Rider and choose not to waste anymore time or money on the franchise.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 24, 2014, 05:21:07 PM
Another problem with Heroes, which was evident in s2, is that they changed the plan at the last minute and the show suffered for it.

They were supposed to have a mostly all new cast for the next season, focusing on a whole new group probably in a different part of the world with a whole different set of powers. It was supposed to be a brand new story that would possibly all link back together at some point.

S2 was stupid, pointless and went in a circle that led right back to where it started. S3 had a few moments, and by the time it got interesting again in s4, it was already too damn late.

and yes, the show that needed a late revival was Firefly. But everyone from that has moved on and Joss is busy doing Billion Dollar Movies now, so that won't happen.

What is more feasible with Firefly is a new spin-off movie. It is a one-time event and could potentially give fans some more.

Series 2 was crappy but had some decent storylines in it such as Hiros character arc.  Too bad the writer strike interfered with most of it.

Sony Pictures is making big plans for its Spider-Man franchise and beyond.  When the studio announced plans to move forward with a Venom spinoff and a Sinister Six film in addition to further adventures in the proper Spider-Man series, it became clear that the studio was keen on building its own mini-universe not unlike Marvel’s interconnected franchises.  Now it appears that the plan involves releasing a new Spider-Man film every year for the foreseeable future.  That begins with 2016’s The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which the studio has now confirmed that Marc Webb will indeed be returning to direct.  Hit the jump for more.

I love Spider-man as much as the next person, and Sony has a few good to decent(ly) entertaining Spider-man movies under it's belt, but forcing a yearly expansion.... I just hope they can atleast keep the quality at decently entertaining and not make us all hate Spider-man.

but also what if the Spider-man movies start to suck but something like Venom or Sinister 6 take off. Would that still count as a Spider-man movie? would that allow them to keep the franchise rights alive, even if they end up not focusing on Spidey or even using him at all?

Jada Pinkett-Smith cast in Fox's GOTHAM

Quote
The cast of “Gotham” is coming together, with Jada Pinkett Smith the most recent addition to Fox’s upcoming Batman series.

Pinkett Smith will play Fish Mooney — an original character you won’t find in the comics. Fish Mooney is described as “a sadistic gangster boss and nightclub owner” and will be a series regular.

“Fish Mooney’s got the street smarts and almost extra-sensory abilities to read people like an open book,” her official character description reads. “Imposing and hotheaded, she’s not one to be crossed.”

& BONUS: Gotham Script Draft floating around. io9 breaks it down (hint: it doesn't sound good)
- it could be fake, or an early rough draft, but it does mention Jada's new character in it....

He's actually not that big--just 110 meters tall, so that poster is really just a way to show Godzilla in the city. Even the new trailer shows that he's not bigger than some of the buildings he's toppling.

In many ways, this is the first actual trailer. The thing we saw before was a teaser, and I don't know if any historical revisionism is going on. Recall that the leaked Comi-Con teaser (with the Oppenheimer quote) was basically proof of concept. It probably had nothing to do with the final film. The thing I love about this new trailer is that it's taking Godzilla's origin and turning it on its head a bit, and Ken Watanabe's scenes imply something else is going on, too.

I want that image of Godzilla just laying in the water as a desktop background.

ALSO, just so you all know, that's not New York, it's Las Vegas. This implies that Godzilla tears through San Francisco without much trouble and heads straight for Sin City. Stogi, it's three months away (May 16th). Just watch it. On a big TV, with the sound up, and the lights out. And grab some lube.

The first trailer was the comic con teaser that was removed almost completely off the internet. The second was the official teaser, the one that started with that plane jump. And then this one.

The portion about the reason for the nukes in the pacific ocean. That was what I meant about historical revisionism. they are taking known history and tweaking it to fit this movie into a sense of realism for this world.

Its made out of a Gold (probably Platic).  You can tell it sticks out by the way it reflects the light and casts its own shadow.  Not to mention if you look real close you can see parts raising up.

Most Interesting on how much of a push DC is giving deathstroke and Suicide Squad. It plays into the bleedingcool rumor that this years big news is DC's way to get more films in place.


Quote
leeding Cool already mentioned how, with David Goyer attached, Warners were looking at movie treatments for the likes of Suicide Squad, Booster Gold, Deathstroke, Team 7 and more.


Well, it looks like this will be DC Entertainment’s big news for 2014.


A series of lower-prominence comic books being turned into relatively lower budget movies.


Suicide Squad is one specifically mentioned as only needing a $40 million budget, pre-marketing. Some could be made for as little as $20 million.


And with two-a-year scheduled for Spring and Fall/Autumn, Warners can expand the Man Of Steel/Batman universe significantly, and make a decent profit in the process.


So… what comics do you want to get made at that level?


http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/12/02/spring-and-fall-the-new-slots-for-dc-entertainment-low-budget-superhero-films/


We already have a deathstroke that's really popular with the fans as well as a Suicide Squad being hit in both with cast all ready and full to go. On a Arrow point of View we know that Ollie was on the island for five years and this season will wrap up slade's part of the island story and he obviousy won't die at the end of season, freeing Manu up for a deathstroke film. The same can be said about the Sucide Squad and the nature of the title only needs Amanda Waller to be honest.

It makes a ton of sense, when you realize that Man of Steel 2 was delayed a year, to throw two low budget films in the mix.

If they have a Deathstroke "Made for TV" Theater Released movie, then the Arrow crew better atleast have some of the storyline & rewrite duties if Goyer is involved.
It needs to stay true to the TV interpretation if this is TVverse related.

It wouldn't be Made for TV. it would come out in theaters but be of a smaller budget.  You can make a pretty decent film with $20-$40 million.  Also its a given that it would take place after Slade's current Arrow run but presumably do its own thing similar to the Wolverine.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 05, 2014, 04:42:47 PM
Made for TV was in quotations because I was referencing the low-budgeted nature of the effort.

and I'm not so sure they would even be related to the TVverse, as the article cites it as expanding the Movieverse which isn't officially connected to the the TV shows in anyway whatsoever at this point.

So what I'm really hoping is that everything DC is doing from this point forward is connected. Even if they don't interact with each other, they exist in the same cinematic universe so that there is the potential for crossovers and references. TV actors in big budget movies might now pan out exactly how WB/DC wants things, but hopefully all that gets taken into consideration moving forward.
As they don't want to let Marvel keep snatching up all the talent across the industry, bit that I mind (being a Marvel man myself).

Eh the bubble should have burst a long time ago. Just this weekend the 300 sequel came in first at the box office. I expect more and more genre films and shows to be adaptions off existing Material.


If a question project off the ground I wonder would it better to go with the super noir Steve Ditko version or go the Burce Timm conspiracy Theorist route.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 10, 2014, 02:25:56 PM
I don't think movies based off existing material is what is going to burst the bubble, because there have been movies based off of books and other such things since they've been making movies.

If the bubble burst, it will be because there are too many movies connected to each other, and assuming DC's ho-hum attempt so far at jump starting their own cinematic universe, if the connected movies turn out like Green-Lantern, that could start to sour the Connected Movie thing. Just like Fox is going to try and push The Fantasitc Four into the X-verse, and Sony is expanding Spiderman into a yearly franchise.
It also really doesn't help that Marvel is about to have 5 different connected shows + a miniseries (6 if you count Agent Carter) in addition to all the movies to follow, and that may become just too much for most causal followers to ingest, especially if they all become intertwined to to point where you have to watch some of everything to understand all of anything.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Ceric on March 10, 2014, 03:07:41 PM
The trick with connected items is to have them be connected but loosely enough you can go into a series cold.  That allows depth for the fans and the writers to leverage but, allow to get the people who just wants that one thing. I would say that Star Trek the Next Generation to Voyager in that series is an ok example.

I think that the whole 'comic-verse' has achieved critical mass. The whole thing will not crash at this point but parts of it can still rise and fall without the whole thing bursting.


I think Marvel will be fine in theaters. DC could crash and burn with the new film and not impact Marvel, Fox or Sony. Sony's Spiderman could tank but there are plenty of quality series and films arriving to sustain the comic-film market. Just enjoy what is good and ignore the bad. We have enough diversity cropping up to keep us going a long time.

I'd like to see a new post-Avengers Hulk film. Surprised we have not gotten one yet. My wife is totally into the Marvel-verse now. She even wants to watch some of the animated shows and films. Just saw Thor 2 and had a blast with it in the theater.

Cap 2 looks to be amazing from the small amount of sneak preview reviews I've seen. Arguably the best Marvel film made so far, and certainly best so far of Phase 2 from what I'm hearing. gots me HYPED for opening weekend.

And I hope that they can keep the MCU loosely connected without tangling the web too tight where it requires watching of something else to understand what happening in an "unrelated" series.
such as having to watch Luke Cage to get a plot point in Iron Fist which is the basis for the whole scenario in Doctor Strange, which you need to have seen in order to get the reference in Avengers 3 which is mandatory viewing if you are going to see Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Lets just hope it never reaches a point like that. they should all be stand alone series with solid connection that don't require the recommended viewing to watch and understand.

Green Arrow has a darker green too, so it fits with the Nolan-esque style of darker an more "mature" that the Arrowverse is going for.

I like it. The darker color is something you'll eventually stop seeing, as long as the costume itself looks good, everyone will get over it.

I agree, I'll eventually get used to the color.  Unlike Green Arrow though I can't think of an interpretation of The Flash where the character wasn't more like Shazam than Superman.  He's one of the Superheroes that I didn't really see as being a tragic character.

Barry was pretty likeable on Arrow. In the recent years he's been defined by his mothers death. Unlike Ollie or Bruce Barry doesn't let that sort of Pain dictate his life.

I like the ayit but I think it would have been suited for a lighter red

In Arrow news the rumor is that Harley Quinn will be recurring with the SS, and Nightwing maybe in the wings as well.

First look at Hellblazer.

I am so looking forward to DC getting their crap together and making a good Flash movie. I will settle for a decent TV show until they do though. I used to read old Flash comics, the ones original ones with Hawkman I would kill for them to do him justice in a movie or tv show, even a cartoon if thats what it takes. But the Flash was also pretty good, I even kind of liked the show from the 90s even if it was short lived.

DC challenged by moving in on Marvel's "unannounced movie" date. Marvel accepted by not moving from it's already announced "Movie TBD" date .

Going to be a crazy opening weekend.

I’ve learnt from a rather well-connected source that, as the title says,  Fox has dumped Fantastic Four director Joshua Trank and the script by Simon Kinberg and are actively looking for replacements. Six months before they are due to shoot, for 2015 release.

Oh, yes, and there are now casting issues from the studio too.

No I don’t know any more. Isn’t that enough?

I know. Maybe they could ask their Official Consultant, Mark Millar…

I don't know about you, but I'm excited.

I didn't hate the first movie, as I think Human Torch and the Thing were well cast and worked well together, but everything else was pretty forgettable.

The hate for Fox rebooting and trying to continue the franchise is that we want Marvel to have the rights back, mostly for Dr. Doom, and all their cosmic enemies (Galactus, Silver Surfer, Super Skrull & Annihilus), not so  much the Fantastic Four team itself.

Agree there.

Though I felt the first movie worked great as a Stand Alone.  I really can't imagine as good a movie coming from where that left off.  I could see an at the very least amusing TV series.

The movie was like an origin story for Disney's first Super Hero Family (...not the Fantastic 4)
No one really expected a sequel, (even if we wanted one) until it was announced that Cars was getting a sequel first... Cars was arguably their weakest movie up to that point (which is now Cars 2). And then Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo (findiing Nemo!?) were getting sequels.... OUTRAGE!!

Of all the movies that Pixar has made, outside of Toy Story, The Incredibles should have been the first one to get a sequel, or an animated Saturday morning cartoon, or some form of follow-up.
And Brad Bird is coming back to Pixar to make it happen too.

Well, in the hands of Fox, if the current cast and rumored script are anything to go by, there doesn't need to be another movie. The 1st F4 wasn't the worst thing in the world. it did a few things ok, but the second movie was not so hot. This new movie sounds worse than the 2nd one from what was rumored, and honestly, I don't care for another attempt in Fox's hands.

They can keep X-men and do as they please. expand the X-verse all they want for as long as they can, and there are so many characters and storylines to draw from that they could literally focus on just that and likely never run out of material (X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, Deadpool, Multiple Man, Origins, Phoenix, Wolverine, etc etc etc). They don't need the F4 and them trying to force a universe involving them doesn't make sense when they can't even get their X-verse together properly.

Johnson: [Laughs] Can’t say that, but here we go. Here are three qualities. The first quality we were looking for was that he had to be extremely complex and have a lot going on. What that does for me as an actor and the studio is it gives us space that we can explore; his complexities. The other quality was that he had to — the character we were looking for had to be well-known but never brought to life. Then what that does again as an actor, it gives me a little bit of space, and we talked about personality. It just gives me a chance to put an imprint into his personality, with the set of tools that I could bring to the table and put a very unique twist on his personality, but still pay homage to who he is. The third thing — and most important — is he had to be a badass motherfucker, okay, and on a Superman level of power, where could throw down. In those three qualities, I’m happy we’ve found that character. Right now, we’re out to a lot of writers.

Read a spoiler for the new agents of shield and man I hope its true.

so were assuming that Armin Zola is the Clarvoint and that someone on the bus is feeding him information right. Even going by what we know of Zola, there was no way it could have known about Coulson being revived.

It also lends credance that Sword isn't shield related but most likely shield adjacent.

I would reference their "eventful" space trip in another movie, like a news broadcast of some specialized private research team heading out to space on an exploratory mission that went wrong. Then in the F4 movie I would start the movie with them having just come to terms with their abilities but still figuring out how to use them, then use quick flash backs to the incident to show the origin.

Yes,

Or maybe a cold open to the movie of them on the spaceship just being a "family" (joking around, helping each other, usual friendly banter and conversation) while working on their individual research projects, when the radiation storm happens. Alarms and things go off, panic mode is activated as they try to dodge this sudden radiation storm that came out of nowhere.*blackout* chaos *blackout* screaming *blackout* quick clips of their experiments affecting their physical attributes (Johhny glowing red before he catches fire, Sue fading in and out of visibility, Ben swelling and then calcifying into a rock like substance, Reed melting and skin drooping into a puddle) and then more quick clips of the ship auto activating a return home protocol, heading back towards earth and then crash landing in the ocean.


*cut to Marvel logo and the opening intro credits*
then jump to 6 months later....


Everyone seems fine, life is carrying on as usual, Johnny looks normal and cracking jokes, Sue looks normal shaking her head at Johnny's stupid joke, Reed looks normal engrossed in whatever experiment he's working on, and then *thump*thump*thump* Ben "The Thing" Grimm enters the room, almost as big as the hulk making a half way joking threat to Johnny "You think you're such hot stuff Johnny boy, you better shut your trap or I'll clobber you".
Johnny Flames up.
Sue puts an invisible field intbetween the two
Ben accidentally knocks a shelf and a Large Vial of some liquid falls off the shelf
Reed reaches from 8feet away and grabs it just before it hits the ground telling them to take it outside because he's working in here.

It be cool if they went more Hellboyish for the banter.  You know how there always alluding to past missions and short handing it.  I always liked that about that series.

So this is supposed to be released by June 2015?

I remember Star Trek Into Darkness was pushed back because they couldn't complete post production in time for the original release date. That was about 9 months of post, i think?

Assuming this is the same rough timeframe, it's already starting to push it.

So... Beware the Batman is coming back... sorta.  The entire series is going to start re-airing at 3 AM on the Toonami block - supposedly burning through all 26 episodes (only 17 have aired, I believe).

I wonder if the ratings at even 3AM would be worth it.

Fantastic Four has to be one of the more difficult series to create.

It seems like it would be easy, however, you have the problem of Fantastic Four stories tend to be big space/science stories mixed with the family dynamic.  Personally, I hope Marvel gets the franchise back, because it needs to be handled with the care of someone looking to make the traditional bigger universe, trilogy story arcs that Marvel Films are doing now.

And I would personally go for an introduction story, simply because they have a unique story.  They are astronauts lost in space after an accident.  I would play up the national space heroes surviving story line.  In fact, I would focus a huge first half of the film on creating a survival story.  Humans lost at space using their intelligence and relationships to bond.  What I would do, is have the relationships already in place.  Have Invisible Girl already married to Mr. Fantastic.  Have the characters appear to be a family before the movie starts...not meeting each other for the first time.

Then have them come home, and deal with the changes to their bodies.  Again, make it scientific, smart, survival based and keep it psychological...not that it can't be fun or funny at times...but this is a family that went to a tragic event that keeps on changing them.  Start having the effects occur to them during decompression and quarantine.

I don't know who could be the villain for the first movie.  Definitely not Dr. Doom...that is 2nd or 3rd movie stuff.  I would almost think a generic crisis would be acceptable, to introduce the world the the FF4.  But it is important that they remain heroes and have a positive image in the world.  This is something that the Avengers could lose, but I think it is core to FF4.

Problem is that the Fantastic four aren't superheroes but explorers.


Best thing you can do is make it pulpy as hell in the vein of Flash Gordon or Doc Savage. Team gets the powers but are sent off into an Alien World or underground to fight moleman
(http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101021053652/marveldatabase/images/thumb/f/f2/Fantastic_Four_Vol_1_1.jpg/479px-Fantastic_Four_Vol_1_1.jpg)

They get the coatumes half way into the movie and at the end they've been dubbed the Fantastic Four. When prompted about the dangers facing the World (Mutants,Alien, mole people, etc).

Reed simply states that's why the world has the Future Foundation. Ends with FF.

Anywho anyone see gods not dead yet?

I hate that the new DC animated movies are violent for violence sake.  It's like they saw that some of the violence in a few of their movies got attention and helped it sell, and now they just do it for no reason...and it is becoming poorly done, and have no value to the sin.

This is what I hate about Son of Batman, and the Dark Knight Returns.  When they decide to do the whole Joker scene, I was disturbed and turned off by the entire movie.  It wasn't fun anymore. 

I think you can have intense and serious fight scenes without going too graphic, and until DC animation returns to that philosophy I will continue to be disappointed with their work. 

Also, I wish that they would balance some of the action and realism of the characters.  But, that is just a minor nitpick.

I'm afraid my suspension of disbelief only extends so far.  I see a giant guy built like a bulldozer with wolverine claws on both hands running away from a 10 year old kid, I facepalm. 

When I see that the "climax" of the movie was a duel between a 10 year old kid and DEATHSTROKE (who I might add has superhuman strength and reflexes etc.) I die a little inside.  How could anyone take that seriously?  I mean sure, the kid is a great fighter, but there comes a point when combat skills aren't enough.  Fighting Deathstroke is one such occasion.

It's a about a kid who's dad dress up as a giant bat and is best friends with an Alien from another planet. It doesn't work for live action but I can suspend my belief for animation and comics.

The ultra violence is a bit off putting and it aucks that it means you can't show the younger kids the movies. I feel the same way about the Marvel Anime movies but at least we still have the Disney cartoons on the air. If DC wants to keep the ulta violence they need an ongoing series or DTV aimed at kids.

Ray Fisher is Cyborg.
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/batman-superman-cyborg-ray-fisher-1201163390/

Quote
After testing actors over the past couple of weeks, Warner Bros. and DC have tapped theater actor Ray Fisher for the role of Cyborg in the untitled Batman-Superman pic.

Victor Stone or Cyborg, while not a major part in the Batman-Superman feature, is a member of the Justice League, and the role will become much more significant role as Warner and DC develop more films related to the Justice League universe, sources confirm.

Warner Bros. had no comment on this story.

Fisher joins the Batman-Superman cast that includes Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot and Amy Adams.

Zack Snyder is directing from a script by David S. Goyer, based on a story by Goyer and Snyder. Production is currently under way in Michigan.

In the bonus feature on the recent “Man of Steel” homevideo release, Cavill, who plays Superman in the film, said there’s a great deal of promise in Cyborg as well as the fictional research facility S.T.A.R. Labs, which appears in several DC Comics.

“I think he would create an incredible bridge between superheroes and humanity,” Cavill said of the Cyborg character.

S.T.A.R. Labs was also the workplace of Justice League characters Professor Hamilton (played by Richard Schiff in “Man of Steel”) and the superhero Rampage, although it’s unclear whether the latter is involved in the Batman-Superman film.

Produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder, the untitled Batman-Superman feature opens May 6, 2016.

Fisher, repped by ICM Partners, is more known for his theater roles including the Broadway play “Fetch Clay, Make Man,” in which he portrayed Muhammad Ali.

He was also one of the actors testing for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming “Star Wars: Episode VII.”

So that puts us at:
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Lex Luthor
Cyborg
(Black Adam, Lobo or John Stewart?) - The Rock
(Aquaman, Lobo or Bizarro?) - Khal Drago


Who else is supposed to show up in this movie?
Martian Manhunter?
The Flash?
Green Arrow?
Robin/Nightwing?
Green Lantern?


I wonder how much development of any character is going to happen, if this is the origin of any of them, or do they all exist for quite some time already and they are all just about to get together because of some world ending event.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: shingi_70 on April 24, 2014, 11:42:28 PM
Black Adam and Khal will probably be separate movies or JL.

To be honest people for the most part know who bats and supes and they're supporting cast are. Wonder Woman is easy enough and cyborg is lla cameo.


Victor will probably be in the film just for the football scene and Ending cameo at star labs to set up Justice League. Also in thennew 52 Cyborgs gets his powers during the justice league forming.


Its a bit odd how a 30-80 minute film can tell a story but with 2 hours peeps are skeptical.

Right now the cast is

Everybody from MOS
Batman
Alfred
Wonder Woman
Lex
Cyborg

I'm still hoping we get Grant as the Flash and Ammell as GA, since they recently introduced star labs.

Well, I'm not skeptical that a story can be told, I'm just wondering how they are approaching the characters to build up to Justice League.

There wasn't a whole lot of world building in MoS, but we know that Batman is already a seasoned vigilante. Is Wonder Woman already a known super hero or does she just arrive from Themyscara?
Does Cyborg already Cyborg, or does he get created during this film? Same with whoever else appears. Has Martian Manhunter been in disguise as a cop for years and decides to reveal himself now that Superman is a thing? Or did he just come to Earth upon the happenings of the previous movie?

Basically are we getting a bunch of origins? or is everyone already seasoned in this new Universe?
Are they going to stop and explain these people and what they can do, or is it going to be more of a learn more about them as we go? They just seem to have so much ground to cover in only 2 hrs when introducing a bunch of new characters to the mainstream movie audience.
This isn't an animated feature aimed at kids and comic readers who already know the characters, which is why Marvels approach just seems to make so much more sense. I understand why DC is going opposite, I'm just curious to see how they make it work.

Justice league vol.1 worlds greatest/War makes it work.

End of Action Comics vol.1 ends with superman saying how many more heroes are starting to pop up. The World is scared of Aliens and Meta humans especially after the Braniac event in Action Comics.

Come World's greatest which is 2 years after the appearance of Superman.

Batman is a detective and considered by most outside of Gotham to be an urban legend.

Green Lantern is a Space cop but has had run ins with the US government.

The Flash is pretty liked by the people of central city but the CCPD wants to know who he is.

Wonder Woman is fresh from the island and is being handled by Steve Trevor for the military.

Aquaman is the king of Atlantis which no one thinks is real and thought he was a fake.

Victor Stone  was some kid who gets injurbed and his dad decides to fuse his body to alien tech and he becomes cyborg.

Seriously these origins aren't hard. The speculation is that Batman and Superman will be the oldest of the league and every one else will slew younger with cyborg being the youngest. I'm guessing its going to be a time skip.

Plus I still think that Flash/Arrow will be in it. I mean having Star Labs and introducing more super science and powers seems like a way to connect everything. I mean we saw star labs on Arrow last week and its going to be in Flash a lot . Emil Hamilton from MOS worked at Star Labs and its where Victors dad gets the tech from the red room to make him cyborg. (Technically the events of MOS would be the origin of the Red Room).

This is 100% correct.  When they made their first PG-13 animated movie…they killed Superman.  It was a big deal, but it seemed to fit.  I was like OK.  Also, the violence wasn't too over the top.  Then Wonder Woman was dark, but again, carefully done and pretty stylish.  It was Dark, but more fantasy.  Still I saw the signs of where the movies were heading.  But then soon it just seems all of them are getting darker and more violent.  I watch cartoons for the stylish lighthearted fun…but these new movies have no fun…and yes, it is hard to take a Robin that is that powerful seriously.  He really doesn't need Batman.  He is a killing machine.

What is interesting is the rumor they are filming the movies back to back.  This really makes you wonder how much of a role all these characters will truly have in the BvsS movie.  Perhaps the casting roles were really never for BvsS but for the JL movie which is being filmed at the same time?

Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 28, 2014, 11:33:03 AM
I bet they all make a cameo of some sort, not limited to a post credit scene, except for maybe Aquaman, who surfaces at the post credit, or Cyborg (as an actual cyborg), who becomes active in the end credit.
And then Justice League will probably expand their roles significantly, hopefully minimizing Superman and Batman to important, but reduced roles in favor of building the other characters and prepping them for their buddy team ups in later movies.

I'm just hoping these two DC movies don't end up like the X-Men movies which are really just about a handful of characters with dozens of interesting, underdeveloped characters loafing about in the background for the sake of cool cameos and special effects.

I think if too many heroes are thrown in at once, the "average audience" isn't gonna be able to follow or keep up.  There's people who love the Marvel movies who have never even touched a comic book.  Those people are gonna have a bad time.

Yeah, I mean, showing Victor Stone in the MoS sequel is cool and all for people like us who either read comic books, watched the cartoon series, keep up with the animated features or w/e.  However, we're maybe about 1/3 of the audience.  Most people won't notice and when the character is revealed be like, "Oh, there's a robot guy now?"
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Spak-Spang on April 28, 2014, 06:06:04 PM
But we know there is a football scene.  So just having him play football and then get injured is enough to start showing his "origin" story. 

Honestly, DC origin stories are so light…you can easily tell almost the entire Justice League origins in a movie.  Yeah I am a Martian I have cool powers.  Yeah, I am an Amazonian I have cool powers like Superman's.  Hey, I am a scientist, and did you see I run really fast.

Actually, I think with Justice League…having them be unified together because of a big threat and not trusting each other is the way to go for a first movie.  Then spin off the detailed story driven character development into the later solo adventures.

Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 28, 2014, 06:56:56 PM
I heard that scene may have been scrapped... but we may not know because the script was rewritten by someone else right after it was shot. But who knows, maybe they wrote around that one scene that was already shot before deciding that their script was absolute **** and needed a last minute rewrite from the ground up and a year delay.
Anything is possible ;)

Also heard that it was rumored that the "solo" movies will be more like team ups, like the Brave and the Bold cartoon, and lead right back into more Justice League movies every few years.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: shingi_70 on April 28, 2014, 07:10:26 PM
You mean more like JLU. Brave and the bold has always been Batman teaming up with some one else.



On cyborg it won't be that hard. Victors Stone father is the head of Star Labs when there isn't a Emil Hamilton. (He died in MOS). It wouldn't be a stretch to see Star Labs is the usual superman super science place. With Emil gone there probably going to be a new science dude to go with the colnels military persona. The football game shows stone and he gets referenced as being the science dudes son. Victor is either hurt in the battle and the ending scene is the sugrury with experimental tech. Or go the new 52 route and have him injurges in the earths invasion.

WSJ said DC had nine films in development, four of which being Fables (not DC by semantics I guess), Shazam (definitely the rocks movie), Metal Men, and Sandman.

No I meant team ups, like Brave and the Bold, only not always someone paired with Batman.
Unless you are trying to say that JL Unlimited was all about the pairings of superheroes and not the full team dynamic.

It was also said that that Shazam movie is "unconnected" from the MoS universe. Not sure why they would even bother making a superhero movie that obviously fit into the universe, especially with a name as large as The Rock, outside of the MoS universe... that makes no sense to me.

That's what JLU was. The original Justice League series only used the seven original leaguers with cameos here and there. JLU was about the League expanded so we usually got epiaoides featuring tons of different heroe.


As per Shazam I'm in agreement but I'm of the mind it might not be set in stone. Pretty sure DC fears having a characters who is super similar to superman in power set and design.  Still the rock tweet about as strong as superman seemed like it would be I'm the shared universe.

I love the idea of Team Ups...because DC heroes are interesting together...and sometimes not so interesting on their own.

It also means that you can have certain characters that are not as possible in a movie.  Or you can have super awesome Geek moments in the movie.

A Flash Superman movie could be quite fun.  If it had a pretty lighthearted take and was kinda an action comedy.

A Batman Wonder Woman movie would also be great.  I don't think Wonder Woman would appreciate Bruce Wayne's alter-ego and life style (aka Billionaire Playboy).  And I think Batman would not appreciate Wonder Woman's more warrior like attitude to fighting crime.  However, they are also very similar.

JSA would be an interesting movie to see as a build up team against the Justice League...as an American counter force.  They are formed and originally do counter terrorist assignments for the government...but when some people start questioning the Justice League, they are called in to deal with them.

I miss the Godzilla is a rubber suit. Also as much as I like the movies that put the G-man in a more antagonistic light like the orginal and the new film, I have to say i much prefer the campy godzilla who gets busy on barkley.

Godzilla was never the absolute antagonist and even in the new one he is not. What the new one and the original have in common is that Godzilla isn't just some campy monster. He's a force of nature. He's a symbol for the atomic bomb. That's why I cannot fucking wait for this movie, because they finally get it.

To clarify, I hate the campy Godzilla films.

care to share what it is? since it's not technically spoiling the movie?

I plan on watching it this weekend, even though I'm sure it's probably not very good, but looks entertaining enough. Although I would rather wait till Godzilla comes out and watch it with that on the same day... but I guess Godzilla will have to wait for DoFP instead.

Sony are apparently quite anxious to see how well the sequel performs, especially with a long running time and a whopping budget of $225 million (as well as around $190 million spent on marketing)


You figure with $0.50 on the dollar made at US theaters, and $415M spent on the movie and it's advertising (which practically showed the entire movie already).... to just make $415M domestic BO doesn't even come close to making it's money back. And for reference, the first Amazing SM made $262M domestic

It has 2 weeks till Godzilla and 2 more weeks after that till X-Men DoFP

China is expecting a large intake of BO, but US companies only get something like $0.25 on the dollar made, so they see even less back from Chinese theaters. I think Sony may have over extended themselves on this one... which wouldn't be good news for them since they already have a 3 more sequels in the works and the company as a whole is in the red. Spiderman is one of the few shining lights for Sony Pictures (James Bond being another tent pole), so seeing their "guaranteed" money maker, not make money by the truck load could be a problem.

That is exciting news. Fantastic Four may return home and now Spidey may be close as well. With all of that out of the way Fox may be more willing to talk about a crossover with Marvel (less hands in the cookie jar so to speak).

I have doubts. BNM and I both threw the theory out (many pages ago) that Person of Interest is just Batman minus the IP, and set in 2014.

With the exception of Jada Pinkett-Smith i don't see how this will surpass that - and there's a several child actors in this. Believe has the best child actor i've seen in a very long time - so much that she carries the show with her charm -  and every other one is usually poor at best.

Community lasted longer than any of us could have predicted. But after Season 4 (the season that shall not be named) and then Chevy Chase and Donald Glover leaving, there weren't a lot of other places the show could go. I thought they were introducing a replacement for Troy in Abed's new "girlfriend," but that...oddly went nowhere.

Bought my Godzilla tickets today. They're playing it at 7:15 on Thursday (not midnight) so I'm pretty thrilled.

LOL Channing Tatum as Gambit. That guy should never be cast in anything bigger than a school play. He has negative charisma. The man is a human shaped meat puppet who is out maneuvered by chip and Dale dancers.

Than Batmobile looks even less usable than the Burton mobile. Batman is fucked if he ever has to drive up to an incline. I don't feel anything about the new Batsuit. I love the Nolan suit since you could see where the design process was pointed to actual use rather than just a costume. As terrible as they were at east I could have a good laugh about the Bat nipples. It is going to be such a terrible movie.

Gambit was always one of my favorite characters despite his lack of actually doing anything productive during the cartoons. All he did was swoon over Rogue and get into fights with Wolverine. I can't really pick out an actor for him, but let's hope the writing is much better than Origins.

Second thought, would it be weird if they made him black?

Gambit sucks either way. Such a shitty shitty character. Brag could barley sustain an ongoing let alone his own movie.

New Batman suit is okay but I hope halfway through the film we get something like the new 52 or classic batman suits. I hate DKR with a passion.

Other than that movie is going to be rad as **** and it's the ducking batmobilrmso it should be a half to turn into a boat and a hover car and be like out of my way inclines.

With that said my standards for super hero movies are pretty low.

I hope Warner Brothers is Smart and decides to incorporate the mythos and stories of Arrow and the new Flash show as cannon for the movies. 

I know people are saying that Warner Bros won't do that, because they won't risk a TV series telling the crucial origin stories and mythos building for their movies.  But seriously, look at Arrow.  Arrow already has the darker more realistic tone of the "edgy" DC movie universes.  The stories told in season 1 and 2, do a great job of telling a compelling origin story that is actually surprisingly intelligently written and with fun believable characters. 

It Flash is as good as Arrow, then Warner Bros could have 2 origins already told and the characters introduced and primed for the movie.  They can even begin world building for the upcoming movies now.

That said, I could understand them NOT using the same actors for the movies...and I would be OK with that.  Use bigger, better actors, but at least acknowledge good stories and character development are already happening in the TV space...and don't retread material you don't have to. 

At the same time, I look at what DC is doing, and I wonder if they just want to tell good, interesting stories, but not have a connected world or universe.  Basically treat stories as else world type movies.  If so, I don't think that is a good idea.

Plugabugz:  I bought season two of arrow on iTunes because it was on sale.  I didn't want to give the show a try because I hated Smallville with a passion.  I really hated Smallville.  I can not stress how much I didn't like Smallville.

That said, I heard good things about this show.  And so after watching the recap episode of year one, I was truly impressed by the believable pacing and actions of the characters.  I felt their actions seemed realistic and overall I was impressed…it truly felt like a comic book…much better than the movies feel, because they can get the right pacing with the drama element.

I have only watched 3 episodes of season 2, but I am still impressed…and I am liking the direction much better.  People say that the shows season finale is a little predictable.  I kinda hope so, because sometimes predictability means good foreshadowing, and intelligently written characters that behave somewhat realistically.

Pretty sad that Superman comes second in the title of his own sequel.

And it sounds like a videogame.
But we have 2 years to let it grow on us.... I'm sure by then we will have plenty of other things to hate about this movie before we get to actually watch it.

Why would he withdraw his name from this project and make money for doing nothing?
unless he didn't want his name attached to it. MoS wasn't exactly praised like his Batman Trilogy (not that I think it deserved most of it), so maybe he didn't want to further tarnish his IMDB page with credits to less than spectacular projects.

Brian Singer sounds salty over X-Men comparisons to Marvels success in building the Avengers.
http://www.scifinow.co.uk/news/x-mens-bryan-singer-versus-avengers-and-iron-man/
Quote
“The Marvel universes – particularly Avengers and Iron Man – are… and it sounds defensive, and it is defensive, but only because people make comparisons between [X-Men: Days Of Future Past] and The Avengers, which is ludicrous.

“The Avengers is a mash-up of massive single character franchises of incredibly familiar characters and Iron Man. And did I mention Iron Man? Oh, and by the way – Iron Man.

“They are huge, colossal franchises that are peppered with all these other characters that are, again, extremely famous and so yes, Fox will at some point synergise [the X-Men] characters and that process is slowly beginning, but it’s very different than taking movies that gross close to a billion dollars and then pushing them together into these giant broad movies.

“If you want to give me Robert Downey Jr in a metal suit and have him join the X-Men, then yes, let’s go head-to-head [with Marvel Studios].”

This comment is not only made months before release of Guardians of the Galaxy, but it completely ignores the fact that no one outside of comics knows SHIELD, Fury, Black Widow, or Hawkeye. No one outside of comics barely knew who Ironman or Captain America was, and the only reason Thor May have been known was due to confusion with Norse mythology. Hulk was the only popular character, and he had the lowest grossing movie and no sequel since.
X-men on the other hand have Wolverine, Cyclops, Prof. X, Magneto and more. There had plenty of opportunity and a large headstart to build something out of the X-Men and their 1000 characters. He instead decided to go make a Stuperman movie and let it all fall apart before they branched out.
Had he stuck around they had the whole X-Men Origins series with movies for Magneto, Storm and Prof X planned.he started off with the "Avengers" ensemble. There is no one to blame for not capitalizing than himself.

And thus pic couldn't be anymore appropriate, even if it should be Wolvie instead of Spidey.

Is Person of Interest a DC property?
If so, is the show following the book, or is the show on a path of it's own creation?


edit: I guess since I'm in here an on the topic of DC, I should probably post this...

DC's supposed movie schedule for the DCCU
http://nikkifinke.com/comic-con/ (http://nikkifinke.com/comic-con/)
Quote
May 2016 – Batman v Superman
July 2016 – Shazam
Xmas 2016 – Sandman
May 2017 – Justice League
July 2017 – Wonder Woman
Xmas 2017 – Flash and Green Lantern team-up
May 2018 – Man Of Steel 2
Quote
Meanwhile, if you were wondering why Batman v Superman was delayed, it wasn’t the script or Ben Affleck or Jesse Eisenberg but with the fact that this pic will act as a launching pad for the Justice League. According to my source, “Like Marvel’s The Avengers, there will be cameos of superheroes for future installments. The cameos will include the already known Cyborg and Flash. Green Lantern [not played by Ryan Reynolds, thank god] may be introduced.  And Aquaman will be seen in the Justice League movie. Problem is, Warner Bros Pictures was still negotiating with the actors for those cameos and future roles, meaning major contracts for multiple JL/character films to follow. The studio didn’t want to move forward until they had more of this secure so they held off starting production for a few months. Seemingly simple reason, but the implications are pretty darn huge.”

3 pics a year starting with BvS sounds a little over ambitious, and surely the beginning of the burst of the comic bubble. If that schedule held true, then DC would be flooding the pipe, and that does no one any good. I know they were playing catch up, but they don't need to do it in 2 years total.
With 3-5 "Marvel" movies a year (2-3 from Marvel Studios, 1 from Sony, 1-2 from Fox) and then 3 DCCU movies, I think we will hit comic movie fatigue faster than Quicksilver's cassette tape would have ran out had it played at an actual speed for him to listen to during his big scene in DOFP.

It doesn't seem fair to say something about DC doing three-films-a-year when Marvel has released an average of 2.8 films/year over the last 11 years.  Sure, Marvel's been building up the Avengers universe, but that only accounts for about a third of the movies they've released.

Luckily I think they will only burst the DC "bubble," if you can even say that there is one. I kind of feel that Batman and Superman are on a completely different level, that most people (well, a good portion of the movie audience) don't even consider that there even exist Batman and Superman comic books, so they wouldn't be hurt by too many comic movies being released.

My dad things Batman is based on a campy tv show from the 60's and the comics ripped that off. He also thinks Spider-Man is based on a toy and didn't know there were comics of that either. I was naming comic book movies with them the other day when my dad asked me if they still make comic book based movies, he hadn't heard of any since Casper apparently. I mentioned Wonder Woman and my mom said no thats based on a TV show they never made a comic book of her, but they should she said. I also agree Batman and Superman are all I ever hear about outside of comic book fans. I think Justice League is a much harder sell because to most people who don't read or follow the books think of it as just Batman and Superman crossover anyways.

It may not be fair, but DC is coming into a market already dominated by "Marvel" movies. DC putting another 3 movies a year into the mix could be flooding the market and burst this little comic book movie thing we have going on. I wish them success... kinda, but not if it interferes with my ongoing MCU/Avengers movies. I am not invested in anyway for 99% of DC's characters, so almost none of these movies excite/interest me.

If the DCCU came in at the expense of the declining Spider-man franchise, and pushed F4 off the table, then great, but there are just going to be too many comic movies in one year for the trend to stay healthy.

Let's look at the proposed schedule off the top of my head.

DC:
May 2016 – Batman v Superman
July 2016 – Shazam
Xmas 2016 – Sandman

Marvel:
May 2016 - Avengers
July 2016 - Ant-Man

Fox
? ?? 2016 - X-Men: Apocalypse
Aug 2016 - Fantastic Four

Sony
? ?? 2016 - Spider-man: Sinister Six

These movies are going to cannibalize each other. It won't be healthy for the movies if none of them make any money because they all cut each other off at the knees. Captain America 2 only made it as far as it did, off word of mouth, because it has most of April all to itself. ASM2 got cut off at the knees, not just because of bad WOM, but because Godzilla and then Xmen DOFP released right after it. Of course Spider-mans monetary issue came from overspending, but it still would have made more had it not been crammed into one of the busiest months of the year.

and honestly, with a Marvel Studios backing, DC might find themselves coming up short in the head to head battles they are setting up. BvS up against Avenger 2... same day!? Way too much build up leading into A2 for people to not go see it.
Ant-Man vs Shazam basically boils down to an MCU backed movie fresh off the heels of A2 vs another Superman like character that no one has heard of, following up BvS. The only thing I see hyping that movie over the follow-up of A2 is if The Rock is actually Shazam and BvS killed in the theater.

A new one every year?!? Aw man, give it at least a two year gap between films unless they are part of a complete 'cycle' like Lord of the Rings. I would hope they rest it like every major long-running film must do to survive. Pirates is on a rest but you know that will be back before the decade is out.


Unless they are talking about 'lesser' movies then I suppose one Star Wars film a year could be pulled off. The lore and fanbase are broad enough that could be sustained.

But the only DC characters anyone cares about are Batman and Superman. The rest of those movies will not do well.

There was a day when spectators thought no one cared about Iron Man and Thor - that movies  about them would never do well.  Iron Man 1 was a big gamble at the time.

It may not be fair, but DC is coming into a market already dominated by "Marvel" movies. DC putting another 3 movies a year into the mix could be flooding the market and burst this little comic book movie thing we have going on.

Since 2004, DC has released a steady stream of one movie a year (not including things like V or RED, skipping 2007) - two more movies in the mix won't hurt... the key being is that they can't suck... which is something Warner Bros./DC hasn't excelled at.

There was a *lot* of doubt.  Casting RDJ was a huge risk, as his career was pretty much dead at that point.  Rights to the film had gone through three other studios before Marvel decided to self-produce it because no one really wanted to take the risk.  It was Marvel's first movie (which, alone, would be a pretty big risk), featured a property that the general public wasn't too familiar with (the previous attempt to bring Iron Man to any screen, the 90's Animated Series lasted a mere 26 episodes in syndication and was pretty poorly received, being massively overhauled between the first and second season, then cancelled after the second season), and it's been reported that 30 different writers passed on the movie.

Iron Man had a *lot* going against it.

I dunno, I think this bubble is going to burst.  DC won't be putting out any more movies until 2016, when they'll start adding 3 a year.  Meanwhile, the other studios aren't slowing up and will fill the gap before DC piles on top of it.

Yes, exactly. It will just be too much all the time for most of then to make enough money to keep it going. There is a very good chance that they will cannibalize each other in the box office.

ccording to sources, I'm hearing the studio is eyeing 2019 for the standalone Batman film and I even got a working title: THE BATMAN.

Let's break it down. Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice League should be ending production in December, then they break for the holidays and go into production on Justice League in the winter of 2015.

Affleck then takes a break from donning the cape and in the summer of 2015, he writes, directs, and stars in his period gangster film Live By Night. The film's scheduled to hit theaters in October 2016. The studio has the time after Live By Night's release to develop the screenplay to the standalone Batman film ready to start production either in 2017 or 2018. It wouldn't surprise me if they actively start developing the script after Justice League or sooner.

The Man is busy.

BvS & JL, then a movie he was already contracted to do, and then he should be free.... but he might have cameos in other movies as well.... who knows. A lot can happen in 4.5yrs, so who knows. The DCCU may never even take off, and they may have to reboot in 4.5yrs time.

At least we know they have plans.... Marvel has it all mapped out to 2028... DC will always be playing catch up.

However, this is on Fox (and given that the costs are all vertical in production like AOS is on ABC) so this might be an easy renewal.

I'm not too keen on the premise.  Having "younger" versions of all the villains really just makes it "Batman Minus Batman".  The Penguin is the only one who really makes sense to me since he's a mob-boss type villain.  Catwoman being there just makes the future romance between her and Bruce creepy.

Catwoman is the same age as Bruce in the show. Also if you could do a batman without batman show the subset of characters used are pretty damn slim. You pretty much have

The Riddler
Catwoman
The Penguin
Black Mask
Roman Falcone

Nearly every other Villain either surfaces due to Batman or they're orgins don't make for a compelling TV series. 


Also lol at BNM. If Ant-man and Shazam go head to head Shazam will stop all over it. The Rock's pull is way bigger than Paul Rudd especially if they play to his strengths unlike the Hercules movie coming out next month.

Also Shazam isn't a DCU movie. While the comic did tie in too the DCU at smallpoints the books for 95% of its run is Vertgio. The chances that it ties in with everything will be pretty slim unless DC see's it as a jumping on point for the supernatural stuff of the DCU in the same way Guardians was for the Marvel Cosmic stuff.

That's basically what I said anyway. The only way Shazam would beat the "random" MCU movie is if BvS hit big and/or The Rock was Shazam.
But I had my dates mixed up anyway. Ant-Man comes out next year (2015). The DCCU doesn't even start till 2016. It will likely be Shazam vs Dr. Strange.
Magic vs Magic
but the scenario is the same. If The Rock is Shazam, then they stand a good chance at stealing HYPE, otherwise Dr. Strange will be coming off of Avengers 2, Ant-Man & Captain America 3 HYPE. So BvS better be a "fucking awesome" movie.

Also DC would be stupid to not make it all tie into each other, especially if The Rock as Shazam is a hit. It will be coming right after BvS and also be one of the movies leading into Justice League. Wasted opportunity with big talent if they don't.

Shazam is an interesting character as long as you have a Counterpoint to him.  Which, ironically, post-Justice League Worldly Superman does an excellent job of in JLU.

Post by: shingi_70 on June 23, 2014, 05:51:32 PM
Well Black Adam and Doctor Silvana work as those counterpoints. But when I meant the DCU I think every film with the exception of Sandman will be in it. Sandman as a book is pretty standalone and most of the DC related charcters that are in it are golden age guys that don't work in the context of this universe.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 23, 2014, 05:58:08 PM
 I did hear a theory that the DCCU might work as a multi-verse since prior that know the material have all said that Sandman is usually pretty unconnected to everyone else. then that would still leave them room for crossovers when multi-verses collide.

A few things about that trailer:

1) The Shredder design is where they lose me.
2) Turtles have too much going on in their design.
3) April using a phone and not a camera also puts me off.
4) The line about them not being aliens is kinda funny.

Yeah my bad. Anyway, the movie looks terrible. Shredder is not a robot (or a Samurai), the foot clan is not a group of domestic terrorists with guns, and the voices are just terrible. Michelangelo's is okay, but all of the other ones just sound like random humans. Shredder isn't even the main bad guy except for in the 1987 cartoon series (which admittedly I love and cherish). Can someone move these last few posts to the other thread? Pulling a tendoboy and derailing this thread...

Uh, hold up.

Shredder's been the defacto bad guy in every iteration that's NOT the original Mirage comics (and their canonical continuations). He was the main bad dude in the 1980's cartoon, the Archie Adventure Series, the 2000's cartoon, the new Nick cartoon, and the new IDW comic series. He IS a samurai in the IDW comic...well, he was in feudal Japan, but he was put in Ooze-assisted suspended animation (it sounds dumb but it really works that comic is legit).

In fact, it's the Turtles' distinct LACK of supervillains that has plagued them since the beginning. The most consistent villain other than Shredder has been Baxter Stockman and MAYBE Krang (he's gone through SO MANY reboots).

I'll stop now. Anyway, this trailer actually made me MORE hopeful for the movie, with a few comments:

1. Yes, Shredder looks like a goddamn Transformer. On the other hand, it looks like Fincher (Filcher?) is NOT Shredder.
2. I appreciate the attempt to make all the Turtles distinct aside from coloration, which is another problem the characters have struggled with. However, they all--especially Donatello--look WAY overdesigned. Like, DAMN.
3. I still don't buy Meagan Fox as April O'Neil, and I never will.

Well the film is riding on the intrest of how great the current series and toys are doing. I doubt we see anything like the CG film for a while. For the next couple of years there's probably just going to be the the three universes we have now in the nick cartoon, the current movie, and the comic by IDW.

Ok so I just watched it again...is Shredder *not* a robot? I mean you do see the guy from Perfect Storm talking to what looks like a giant bald dude. That's my main gripe, really. I don't care if Shredder is the main bad guy, I just don't want him to be a fucking robot, as that would completely **** all over the entire story since Shredder is one of the main reasons the TMNT even exist.


Maybe I was just in a bad mood when I watched it yesterday. Doesn't make me nearly as angry today.


And is that Johnny Knoxville as Leonardo?

The trailer makes the movie look like it's trying too hard to be modern.

Part of the trailer reminded me of the Robocop trailer where they say "Let's make it sleeker. How about black?"  That was the exact part where my interest in that reboot was lost.  Still haven't seen that one.

It was pretty good, and I'll be tuning in for sure, not that I wasn't already, but now I'm much more confident in that decision.
The Arrow cameo was CHE EEE SSEEEY "Coool!" Hopefully they reshoot that scene before it airs again.
That Grodd reference!! oh ****, I would love to see how they pull that one off.
and the walking cripple Dr. with access to a newspaper from the future!?
I'm not into DC comics, so I'm not very familiar with all things The Flash. Anyone care to speculate based on comic knowledge?

Well the flash is cheesy and I loved it when Ollie said cool as well. Nerds and guys in the gaf thread may find it cheesy, but that's probably going to go over really well with general audiences who tend to like cheesy stuff.


The Flash does a lot of time travel here and there, and one of his enemies is professor Thawne a time traveler who also has speed force powers.  In all probability the doctor is a descendent of the cop who's dating Iris. He's also most likely the one who kills barry's mother.

As for references we got a ton of them.

Caitlin Snow becomes Killer Frost a sometimes firestorm villain who's now a Anti-hero of sorts.
Cisco becomes Vibe who has multiverse powers.
Edwarde Thawne the cop is the name of the reverse Flash


As for the the newspaper. 

Flash disappears in the crisis is a reference to The Crisis which is a multiverse event in which the Anti-monitor goes earth to earth destroying crap. The Red skies are usually a sign of the Crisis hitting the earth (or sometimes darksied if irrc).

The Wayne tech and Queen consolidated merger is a batman refrence meaning we may see Harley and Nightwing next season on Arrow. It also may be an indication that the films/Shows take place in the same universe. Remember this wasn't supposed to leak and it wasn't going to be publicly show till next  month when we get the confirmed DC road map or announcements.

I feel they are going the wrong direction with the Turtles.  They are going loud…and they shouldn't have.

If I was going to re-imagine the Turtles for a gritty style.  I would look at modern Ninja, martial arts films and start building my lore there.

I would focus on the idea that the Foot clan ARE Ninjas, and the theft and violence is never seen.  Nobody knows what this organization is…and that is crippling the city in fear.  It sounds like the first movie…but don't make it about recruiting our kids.  The Foot Clan doesn't care about kids or even stolen goods…it cares about control with fear.  And as the city starts to panic people start doing stupid things.  Bringing the city further into chaos. 

That is how I would handle Turtles….then you make Shedder not a robot but some badass Ninja, that almost seems mystical in skill.  Play off of the idea that people believe Ninjas have sort of "magical" powers….Ninja tricks.  The movie should focus a lot on deception and no mercy…and of course revenge.  The Shedders downfall is his blind rage for Splinter, and you need to really play that up. 

For the Turtles, big and bulky doesn't work.  I think lean, silent…brutally efficient. 

Basically, Michael Bay had a chance to make the Turtles into something modern and special for adults but just made another transformers loud movie.

Fantastic Four to have a "found footage" feel to it....
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Fantastic-Four-Have-Found-Footage-Feel-43635.html (http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Fantastic-Four-Have-Found-Footage-Feel-43635.html)

Quote
The Hollywood Reporter has run an interview with Fox's President of Production Emma Watts, who has revealed some interesting details about the studio's other big comic book-based properties. Chief among them, while discussing what's in store for 2015's big superhero reboot, Watts was asked if we can expect to have the movie to have the "same found-footage feel" as Chronicle, which was given a very affirmative answer:

"It's Josh, so it can't not have that feel. That's his talent, that's what he does, and that's what excites him about it. It is a really interesting young cast [Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell], and he is the magnet that's brought them all together."


Of course, this doesn't mean that we can expect that The Fantastic Four will be filled with characters running around with handicams and narrating the story all from off screen. Instead, what I imagine Watts is referring to is instead a visual style similar to what Paul Greengrass has established, using a good amount of hand-held camera work to lend the movie the feel of a docu-drama. There are a few critics of this visual style - both within the found footage genre and outside - due to the fact that some people get nauseous watching too much hand-held, but there are certainly films where that aesthetic works to the story's advantage.

Welp, since that rumor turned out to be true, I'm just gonna assume all the rest of the rumors (which I will also assume came from the same place) are also true.

So they are filming with more of an outline instead of a polished script. THis movie is more than likely going to be absolutely TURRIBAD. And it is 100% a last second effort to get something in production before the rights revert. [/supposed rumors][/quote]

It really doesn't help that they are or at least started filming before they even had a script. and it's just salt to the wound to know that they are only doing it so that Marvel can't have it (or any part of it) back.

Dear Glob, that sounds fucking horrible.  Found footage is the worst genre/style of film.  It almost always had 1000% too much shaky cam and constantly begs the question of "Who the **** is filming this ****?".  Being found footage kept "End of Watch" from being a good movie.

"Found footage" is slang for "low budget" (only with a high budget). It's like those people that spend a lot of time working on their hair to make it look like they don't spend a lot of time working on their hair.

Found footage isn't inherently terrible. You are substituting what is objective for what is subjective. Nickmitch, you may not like it but it isn't bad. There are plenty of found footage films that do what found footage does best. That being said, found footage does not work for a film like Fantastic Four. It worked brilliantly for Chronicle because of the subject matter lending to the film.


Same with the lack of a define script. Doing that isn't bad itself, but usually those sort of things don't happen because they want it to happen. All they are doing here is setting up for a truly shitty film.

Is there any way.  Marvel can use its insane profits from their upcoming movies to buy back the rights to Fantastic Four?  The X-men have been hit or miss, but they are at least treated with some respect as a franchise.  Especially these days, the X-men franchise is being handled competently. 

Marvel, please find away to buy back your rights...Fantastic Four shouldn't be too difficult.  Spiderman and X-men I understand will be harder, but perhaps not impossible in the future.

IF F4 bombs, it may be as simple as Fox selling it back for a reasonable price and washing their hands of the property. Or they could be assholes and sell back individual characters 1 by 1 (dual use) and then use whatever Marvel does with them to HYPE the next F4 movie.

Or maybe F4 is soooo bad, that Fox is begging to Disney to take it off their hands. (very unlikely, I'm sure they would still hold it regardless of losses incurred).

As far as I can tell, Marvel doesn't give a **** about Fantastic Four.

They want Dr. Doom, Galactus & Silver Surfer.
if GotG is a run away success, Annihilus and Super Skrull would probably be very handy as well.


edit:
If they got the license back, they would probably only include the F4 just to introduce Doom or Silver Surfer.
If the movie is sooo bad just before they get the license back, then I wouldn't be surprised to see the Fantastic 4 handled though a post credit scene after easter eggs and name drops sprinkled through out some other movie (a B or C plot). such as news paper clipping/news reports about a research team headed to space headed by the infamous Reed Richard and crew. then the final conflict of whatever the movie is, would be keeping the enemy away from the launch pad and allowing them (F4) to take off. It would seem like a total B/C plot to uninformed movie-goers, until the post credit scene is cosmic rays fucking them up in the middle of their experiments and changes beginning to happen. roll the credits. That gets the origin out of the way w/o having to dedicate another movie to them.

I think you are right...3rd times a charm on getting it wrong.  And no Fox is not trying to make it toxic.  Fox wants to ride this Marvel Super Hero hype train for future success.  Nobody spends money to lose money.  However, they are foolishly changing the formula...something Marvel has been quite intelligent not doing...and something that Warner Bros is foolish to do.  "We can make every DC hero Batman." 

I do agree that Marvel probably wants the villains back more than anything else.

I wonder, is there a good storyline for a Doom centric movie that could house the origin of Doom and the F4, portraying things more from Dr. Dooms perspective as the F4 attempt to thwart his plans.
Sort of the Tucker & Dale vs Evil of Superherovillian movies only not quite so innocent.

I like the idea of your origin story.  Or you know what...just let them exist, already, and have somebody like Hulk work with them, allowing the introduction to be a more natural, get to know you instead full origin story.  Then after that, focus on telling a story about who Dr. Doom is.  Dr. Doom is actually a very interesting character that can take the lead.

Honestly don't think Dr.Doom needs the Fantastic Four as much as the Fantastic Four needs him.  He's the main villian in Super Hero Squad and they seem to let him be used without the F4 quiet a bit in the Video things.  I could think of a way to just let life tear Dr.Doom into what he is and not really be that different of an origin.
*rereads about Dr.Doom Origin* 
Oh, yeah it would be super simple to tweak his origins.  I still don't see where the Fantastic 4 would really fit in MCU.  Much like I don't see how X-Men would fit either.  The Pop-in Pop-Out nature of Spiderman would make him easy enough.

I agree the Rogue Gallery and Silver Surfer are probably vastly more important to Marvel and Disney.

You can't do doom without the F4. His character traits are mostly about getting revenge and one upping Reed. I mean he's the godfather to Reed and Sue's daughter and isn't that bad of a person.  He's just as much of an ass you'd expect a royal genuis dictator to be.

Also for all the talk of world conquest in the comics Dooms biggest achivememt was being able to save reeds daughter's life when reed himself couldn't even do it.

Richard is not key to Dooms Origin.  It is key for him to have a rival.  Someone he thinks that shafted him.  Unlike some other origins that is relatively easy to shift to another character.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 02, 2014, 03:52:27 PM
damn, I had a scenario typed out for how to do a Dr. Doom movie and include Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four, but the site was having database issues... so I moved on and lost the post.

It was basically do Dr. Dooms origin, and have Reed be the Harry Osborn to Doom's Peter Parker (or the other way around... which ever makes more sense to you).
Dr. Doom is a selfish egotistical genius with a singular goal in mind, saving his mom. Comes to school in America, gets annoyed, befriended, interrupted and embarrassed By Reed always trying to be the smartest guy in the room. This breeds a deep seeded resentment of the man which leads him back to his home country of Latveria where he uses his intellect to overthrow the current regime and become dictator of the country, now vowing to use his resources to destroy Richards in an act of revenge. Seeing Richards find great success and about to successfully launch a research mission into space, Doom plans his revenge to take over whatever city F4 is based out of so that Reeds comes home to Doom's Country and has to live by Doom's rules (or whatever). Of course Reeds mission goes all wrong and they come back to Earth much sooner than expected and thwart the plans of Dr.  Doom forcing him to retreat back to Latveria.

having retyped the general idea from what I remember of it... it sounds like a horrible movie. And you can probably tell that I haven't ever read a single F4 or Dr. Doom comic.

I'm just going to say - a F4 movie won't ever work.

The Fantastic Four are, in essence, "The First Family of Comics".  They've tried mixing up the comic by swapping out characters here and there, but it always comes back to A man, his best friend, his girl and his girl's brother.  A tight, close knit, group.  The adventures and battles they have are the side-story.  This isn't the kind of thing you can grow, shape and mold in a 2-hour movie *and* fully develop a villain *and* fully develop conflict between the two *and* make us care about both sides enough to be invested in what's actually going on.  Even something like X-Men, the focus is put on Wolverine and the others are thrown in to the background - and all you have to do here is build the characters - Fantastic Four really requires that you build the characters *and* build their family dynamic into the picture.  Sure, in X-Men, you have to establish Wolverine's relationship with Rouge, then Jean Grey, then Professor X, then Cyclops, then Storm... but what about Professor X and Storm?  Rogue and Cyclops?  They don't really interact much.  But, to make the Fantastic Four work, you have to show each of the characters interacting with each of the characters to develop this family that we're supposed to care about.

Nah, I disagree. Shingi's post below you proves that it can work. If the Incredibles did it as a cartoon, I'm sure it can be done with live-action. If someone with enough talent took over the project, they could create such a film.

I don't think it would be that hard at all to actually make a decent F4 movie, just no one has tried yet. The first one actually did a pretty decent job of explaining the characters and their interactions, but all of the details were simply horrible.

For the love of all things good, stop it with the damn origin stories.

F4 doesn't work because it's fundamentally boring and bullshit. When you have Reed build an Ultimate nullifier out of his ass you just know even the writers don't give a ****.

They also share a problem I have with the X-men, their powers are so singular and uncreative to the point that you can't do anything interesting with them. Cyclopes is the most easy example of this, he shoots or he doesn't shoot. Unless you count his powers of being a dick, that's all he's got. Its why in all the movies they keep picking Wolverine as the focus point, compared to everyone else he is multifaceted and more importantly, easy to write for.

They could have picked Storm, but her powers are more grand and hard to use in a budget effective way like slapping plastic on to some hands. Throw in the fact they ditched her African origins and cast Hallie Berry showed they had no confidence or ability to write for such a character which is basically anything not a white straight male with varying levels of gruffness.

It doesn't help I am burned out on super hero movies since it is pretty much watching the same movie over and over again while taking crazy pills.

I think an origin story for Fantastic Four can work.  They just can't make it like they have known each other for only 2-3 years.

If you are dealing with a family then make them act like a family...let them trust each other even when they are made at each other.  Don't just tear them apart to make stupid drama.  Give them  relationships where the audience doesn't know their inside jokes, because we aren't on the inside.  Have them already be close.  Family relations are quite interesting when you write them carefully.  If I was to do Fantastic Four, Reed and Sue would already be married.  The team would pretty much already be together in a working relationship and then they go up into space.  I think there is an interesting story to tell about them arguing about if they keep their powers secret or not...and how they use them.  Is it for science, for heroics, or not all.  Don't spend time with them fumbling over there powers like every super hero movie. 

As for the X-men.  I guess I disagree.  I like the singularity of their powers, because it makes them being a team important.  Superman doesn't need a team...he has so many powers it is unnecessary.  Same with Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, Cyborg, Doctor Fate. 

What I always disapproved of, was some of the mutant powers that make no sense.  Storm is a perfect example.  How does one evolve to control the weather?  It is a cool power, but insanely impossible for a mutation...and actually just dumb.  The global impact on her abilities is stupid.  However, most of the original team was very cool and believable.

How about dude that can spew energy out of eyes that defy thermodynamics that are so powerful they can disloge 100 ton block of metal embedded in a massive amount of concrete. Then there is a guy who can regenerate in violation of conservation of mass and energy.

The team dynamic never works in the movies because there just isn't enough time to flesh it out without the side characters coming off as story filler full of forced pointless tension because the team is dysfunctional because???. The Avengers movie was a Iron Man movie featuring the Avengers. The X men were Wolverine movies featuring the X men.

T I agree with the **** Origin stories and the way they botched Strom.




While i'm not biggest fan of the F4, but they can be pretty intresting at times. The OG Kirby Run, as well as the recently finished hickman run are examples of that.
(http://bleary.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/fantasticfour-hickman.jpg)




Cyclops is pretty stuipd in the films but he's intresting in the comics. In particular from going from the Golden boy who would succeed Xavier to instead following the ideals of Magneto. It started a bit after No More Mutants when he was in full control of the Xmen and was making some dubious decisions regarding Xforce and the move to Utopia.


The thing is the X-men and Fantastic Four when you know they're place in the Marvel Universe and only Marvel seems to want to make films based on different genres.


The Avengers are super heroes.
The X-men are an Anti-terrorism task force as well as Private Milita.
The Fantastic Four are explorers.


While each do regularly save the world and focus on protecting the earth they at our very core have different mission statements.

Post by: Spak-Spang on July 05, 2014, 12:05:52 PM
Teleportation is a really simple power.  I don't like the idea that he is moving through hell, but the idea of perhaps he is stepping into a pocket dimension and stepping back into ours is actually a plausible explanation.

Again, Cyclops at least as a singular power.  He shoots a laser out of his eyes.  Cool.  Simple to understand.

Mutants like Magneto and Storm are messing with powers that manipulate and change nature pretty significantly.  Magneto is fine when they balance his power levels accordingly.  I always thought the movie Magneto was appropriately powered.  However, the comic book series has made him too powerful and basically a force of nature.

People like to complain that DC makes there heroes too powerful, and I will agree that a few of their characters are too powerful, except for their silver bullet.  But Storm, Magneto, the Hulk, Sentry, and to some extent Wolverine show that Marvel is just as guilty overpowering their characters.

Well, they based the Black Canary on the original and soon the modern take both.

I think it is interesting to see DC take huge steps on the television front.  Basically what Marvel did in the movies.  DC appears to be doing on television.  The Arrow was a very smart choice for a new series.  He isn't Batman, so you could tell a fresh story with freedom, but he is a member of the Justice League, so you could move to developing members of that team.

The Flash coming next is a great addition, because he is a great comic character to be the Yin/Yang of the universe.  Now all they have to do is Buffy/Angel the two series.  Let Flash handle the more colorful light-hearted adventure stories and then give Arrow his typical darker stories. 

Mix in some more DC heroes and villains into the mix and slowly move towards a true Justice....Society show.  (Justice League will forever be in the movies.)

Anyone who likes action, comedy and adventure should go see this


If you have ever enjoyed a Star Wars movie, a Marvel movie or comic books/superheroes, then you should already be HYPED for this movie.

This may not be the highest grossing movie of the year, and it certainly won't be the most Emmy nominated movie either, but it will likely be one of the best times you will have at the theater this year, if all the trailers and the 17 min preview is anything to go buy.

I know, I was just pointing out that it isn't your award chasing biopic or anything, and probably wouldn't win a vote for BEST MOVIE ever from the critics, as that's usually reserved for some over acted drama that involves all the sad emotions like crying, anger, regret, sympathy etc etc.
GotG will just be good old fashioned fun, filled with humor, adventure, and plenty of action.
There will be good music, some good character moments and lots of fanfare packed into this. It's a must see for anyone that enjoys fun movies.


and something for Zach, if he still visits here.

Oh God. This is exciting. Let's get right down to it.


First of all, it looks like they made the park...an actual park like it was meant to be! This is actually kind of exciting, and the opposite of the direction I thought they'd go (basically, JPIII but with new people).


Other thing: how did they get mosasaur DNA? Mosasaurs are marine reptiles! There were no marine mosquitoes and there is no marine plant amber! Can't WAIT to see that explanation. I also shudder to think that there's a dinosaur-themed Starbucks on that island.


However, I strongly suspect this is a forgery: look at the second picture and read the sidebar text. "Creatures of Jurassic" (not "Jurassic Park?"). This repeats in the text itself. I also doubt the employees would be called "Isla Guides." That just sounds stupid.


Other things that make me cringe:


The Creature List includes both Baryonyx and Suchomimus. But not Spinosaurus. The first two are arguably the same taxon--maybe different species of the same genus, but they're so similar that it would be dumb to have both. "Metriocanthosaurus" is an obvious callback to the embryo names in the original movie. That **** wouldn't play today. "Metriocanthosaurus" is a junior synonymous of Yangchuanosaurus. I doubt they'd put it in the movie INSTEAD OF the far more popular and easily-pronounced Allosaurus. Which is better known and more or less the same animal.


Why in God's name would you put Microceratus in a movie? Seriously, there are a dozen better-known non-ceratopsomorph neoceratopsians. Use Protoceratops or Liaoceratops or even Leptoceratops!


ON THE OTHER HAND


Notice that the mosasaur icon has a tiny caudal fluke. This is in keeping with the latest research on mosasaurs.


I'm not convinced this is real, but it makes me both happy and sad if it is.

I have to say that i'm disappointed that Arrow/The Flash will be separate from the movies. I think its a bad move and marvel will have more sucess even if theyre TV projects are limited by the movies.

They confirmed this? Poor move. I wonder if CW is throwing it's weight around to keep more control and that is why they are separating DC between the movies and TV series. Would have been a great way to draw TV fans into theatres.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 21, 2014, 06:33:31 PM
They confirmed it yesterday. Amell himself double confirmed it afterwards.

But maybe it will be better that way. DC can explore its option with the TV/Movie multi-verse, while Marvel continues on the all inclusive Cinematic Universe.

Now The CW can push to get Amazon back in production, move forward with their Young Justice show they were batting around, and they can continue to mine the Batman rogue gallery for Arrow w/o worrying about who or what is happening in the movies.




edit:
Oh, and we certainly shouldn't start a DC Universve thread until we know what we are making it for.
Are we making a Multi-Verse Thread? One for TV? One for Movies? and honestly there aren't enough going on in either area yet to dedicate a whole thread to it really. Definitely after CC.


I'm all for an Arrow-verse thread and an DCCU thread.

I'm not talking in terms of films and what not. I just think that in general comics, movies, and TV marvel tends to get the benefit of of the doubt.


Take that terrible daily beast article where the Writer praises Marvel Avengers.Now news thatcame out last week and condemns DC.  Despite the fact that DC has not only more female led books being published but more female creators on the docket at the moment. Though Marvel is doing a good job at getting more women and minority led comics in the market.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 21, 2014, 07:33:40 PM
It might have to do with Marvel absolutely hitting it out of the park w/ few missteps along the way (animation excluded of course).

The MCU movies have all been increasingly beastly in the box office.
MCU TV had to crawl before it got up and started running. and now there is even more on the way.
The comics have been wisely pushed alongside the movies and they continue to push diversity in characters through gender/race and relatability.
TV Animation... well, EMH was doing great, but they killed that and replaced it with 2 or 3 other shows that I've heard nothing good about (Avengers, Hulk Smash & something else?), but haven't watched myself. and Ultimate Spider-man could definitely be better.
DVD Animation.... well, all that madhouse anime stuff... I'm not really sure what to say about it. I don't think Anime fits the Marvel style. I think they need to bring it in-house and let the Disney animators form a new studio just for them.

DC on the other hand
DVD Animation. 2nd to none as far as comic animation has been for quite some years now.
DC Movies... well, we have some MoS, TDK trilogy, Green Lantern, and then a bunch of other movies people probably didn't even know were DC properties, regardless of a DC logo infront* of it (Watchmen, Constantine, V for Vendetta, etc etc etc).
DC TV we got the awesome Arrow, and soon we have The Flash (on this little watched network called The CW). ontop of that we will also have Gotham, iZombie, and Constantine coming up.

As far as mass appeal to the general public, all DC has is a mediocre Superman movie, that followed a fairly bad Superman movie. A horrible Green Lantern movie and the Dark and Gritty Batman Trilogy that has nothing to do with everything else happening at WB/DC right now. They also have a dull logo that no one remembers seeing.
* Marvel has a great animated Logo that people get excited about when they see. They also remember seeing it and it makes them pay a little more attention to whatever is on screen once they recognize that comic flipping logo. DC really needs to get something a little more catchy than just putting DC up on the screen.

point being as far as MASS GENERAL POPULACE is concerned, Marvel is on FIRE. They have delivered for the most part on every "Marvel Studios" tagged release and faith and trust has been built that they will deliver on the next one.
DC has tripped and bruised their knees on GL, then studder stepped with MoS. That trust and confidence with DC building a universe has not yet been established. All that is seen is that Marvel connected a bunch of movies into a major event that broke BO records, and now DC is trying to do the same thing. Their approach has appeared to be more reactionary than inspired, so they are getting criticized a little more fiercely than they want.
Once these next 2 movies come out and prove themselves to be more than a quick attempt at copying Marvel, and an actual good use of the IP's in play, then maybe most of the more vocal haters will STFU. But they haven't earned anything yet.

Warner Bros as a company has their head up their own butts. 

Everything Warner Bros does proves they view television and comics as a lower form of media.  They still have this attitude that the medias do not mix.  This is why they have such little respect for their talent in other departments.  Warner Bros had a "god" of a creator with Bruce Tim proving he understood the entire DC universe better than anyone.  He successfully made a Superman, Batman, and Justice League series.  His characters were so popular some of the characters he created for his shows were introduced into the comics.  Then, WB doesn't tap that source to make or control their narrative for their movies.  Even though they had misstep over misstep. 

Of course they don't want to "taint" the movie universe with the television universe.  Even though, the television series will get the origin stories outta the way, and allow you to just tell deeper stories.  No, they will tell the series which characters they can and can not use and hold their hands like babies. 

I am not even advocating using the same actors...just acknowledge the history of the show, and work with the television series to help the two movies blend well.

At best, MoS is slightly better than the worst of the MCU theater offerings so far, but no where near the best. It falls somewhere near just below the middle of what's the left.

Agents of SHIELD finished strong and that's what most that watched are going remember going into what is hopefully a season that carries that ball all the way to finish line.

I personally thought Blacktain America was a great PR move, especially with the popularity The Falcon from TWS. That Disney Marketing muscle is being used very wisely by Marvel. You create speculation for the movies and tie that to people wanting to read the comics know more.
The She-Thor announcement did nothing for me, but it wasn't targeting me, and I am ok with that. The targeted audience has no idea that Thor is not a title to be passed on with the use of the hammer, but why market a new character when you can market the "same" character to a whole new audience!?

I like the conceptal idea of she-thor, Black Captian America, and Iron Man with a new adjective but honestly I've read enough comics and know that much about the indusrty that it won't make a change. The title will get a spike in sales and all three stories will be good (I mean its fucking Remender, Aaron, and Taylor) but right ahead of Avengers were going to get the big three back to what they were and maybe ther's chance that Sam and she-thor are propular enough to get a mini series or become an elevated charcater.


I'd rather see Marvel take what they did with Captain Marvel and Ms.Marvel which was pretty organic way to push a character. They weren't getting changed due to an event comic either.




The stories will be dope so who gives a **** right, my only issue is that using a gimmick to change charcaters rarley works out for the replacments in the long run.

Well ts not the logo, but the actual name of the company. Detective Comics was the star book National comcis at the time but they had thier products with Superman DC (their most popular products at the time) and the name DC Comics stuck among the staff and fans before being changed in the 70s.

Yeah, that's ridiculous to me.  I see "US", I think "US".  I know what it stands for, but I don't need to un-acronize it every time I see it.  If I un-acronized every word I saw abbreviated in my head, I'd go insane.  I wouldn't be able to function at my job. 

Do you do the same with FIFA?  Because that's French, and I'm wondering if you translate it too.
Do you read Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus too? Or Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation?

Regardless, even if you don't sound out "comics", you're still reading "DC" 2-3 times.  Which is silly.

I don't think I said "annoying".  Silly, yes...

Think if the front of your NES had the Nintendo racetrack logo, then under it, said "Nintendo Entertainment System.  A Nintendo Co. Ltd product."

You wouldn't think that'd be overkill?

Is it different from an iPhone having the Apple logo on the back and then under it "Designed by Apple in California"?
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: UncleBob on July 21, 2014, 11:20:21 PM
There are two issues with that.

A) The Apple logo doesn't say "Apple".  The DC logo is supposed to say "DC".
B) The "Designed by Apple" isn't part of the logo.  The "DC Comics" beneath the "DC" is officially part of the logo.  Official Apple usage of the Apple logo allows for the logo to appear without saying "Apple" under it.  Officially, the DC logo is required to have "DC Comics" (or "DC Entertainment") below it.

And to clarify, I could actually survive if the logo said "Comics" under it.  Sure, it still has that "Detective Comics Comics" thing, but whatever.

It's the DC DC Comics thing I find the most silly.  Do you (DC, not *you*) think that the logo design *that* bad that you have to spell out what it says for people?

I personally like the 1976 and 2005 DC logos in static form but I do like the variants that Shingi posted best.  Those are cool.  Do they have an animation or specific sounds that went with them?

Marvel has the flipping sound to go with it so it feels like a complete package for the media.

Hmm,

UncleBob I think the problem is you remember when DC's brand name actually Meant Detective Comics.

These days DC Comics does not stand for Detective Comics.  It just stands for DC.  Yes, people that know where it originally came from can appreciate the history, but I don't even think DC the company would be like yes our name is Detective Comics, because now they are so much more, and the brand is bigger.

So Now despite the history it is just DC Comics.

Now the Logo still has the Image and writing underneath for re-verification of the brand, and that maybe over kill.  I mean if you can't see what the logo represents perhaps it is a bad logo.  But again, I can understand why they did that, because the logo is abstract.  You can definitely see the D being turned revealing the C and representing the turning of a comic book...but hold on...is it definitely a D?  It could be a B.  or not a letter at all.  For this reason I can see clarification is a good idea for the logo.  Adding DC Comics helps those that don't recognize the logo clearly know what the company is...and that is a good thing.

Finally, you added that DC Comics has to write Comics in the logo?  Why is this for clarity for patient or copyright?  If so then your argument is kinda silly...just like the logo may be.

While patient/copyright laws (or, in this case, I'm guessing it's more of a trademark issue) can be difficult to figure out, I'm inclined to think that's not the case here since every logo since the beginning of DC was able to leave out the "comics" part. :D

The extended trailer for Star Wars: Rebels.




It looks good and it really echoes the OT or more importantly a new hope. I'm guessing all the star wars film rumors about Luke are wrong hence why we have a book and a series that's introducing new force wielders. Either that and the rumors are true and we don't see the creation of the NJO until the end of episoide 7.


edit: If were making a DC thread should we do another Star Wars one as well.

I think even then "DC" just meant "DC".  The "Comics" part was added since people referred to it that way.  All the other publishers had comics in the name, at least the ones I can think of.

This does look to be a good series. I'll keep an eye out for it. It does have a bit more of that 'tween Disney' feel to it in the dialogue but hopefully that was cherry picked out of numerous episodes to appeal especially to Disney's target demographic.


There already is a Star Wars thread. We'll have to do dig it up. I'll go bump it.

Supposedly they ignored the advice from Christian Bale when he told Affleck that his #1 advice for putting on the suit next was "to make sure it's easy to get in and out of so you can go to the bathroom with ease".

So not only can he not turn his head, but supposedly he needs crew assistance to take a piss/**** while on set in costume.
But hopefully it will all look good on camera.

But what I really want to know is, what is that aluminum foil batman in the background of the previous pic. and what is that green and gold batman behind it in this pic?

Sam Raimi producing, Neil Drukmann (story writer for the game) writer

Maisie Williams as Ellie

(http://i.imgur.com/3yWuICX.png)

and Bruce Campbell as Joel

It appears I'm wrong here. They joked about him playing David, but nothing confirmed. Williams is very likely playing Ellie however.

From Gaf:

Quote
- Neil and Bruce got two pitches, one from Clint Culpepper at Screen Gems and one from Sam Raimi- Neil said when they met with Sam he "really got it"
- They got greenlight from Screen Gems to write the film themselves: Neil's writing the script for the movie
- Movie won't come out for a couple of years
- They expect it to be very true to the game, but they have to make changes to make a 15 hour game fit into a movie
- They talked about a different ending among various changes
- The movie will focus on the relationship between Joel and Ellie
- Answering a question, they say they might use elements from the Left Behind DLC
- Maisie Williams is being considered for Ellie
- Bruce Campbell sorta brought up as a joke, someone suggests him for David (NOT casted for Joel)
- Neil thinks the "ambush" would make for a great scene in the movie
- They're creating new scenes to glue some of their favourite game scenes together
- Neil doesn't want to the movie to be a poor imitation of the game, thinks it's good to have strong actors who bring their own interpretation to the characters

- Sam said he won't be directing, Neil will be in charge of selecting director

There are two types of people who will see this movie: the "Wow, they're making a movie out of The Last of Us? Cool." crowd and the "That's was a solid trailer. I think I'll see this." crowd.  The latter of whom hasn't played the game and likely never heard of it.  The studio is probably banking on that group being big enough to make $$$$.

Quote
It starts with thunder and rain, as a hand pulls a tarp off of something… it’s Ben Affleck’s Batman on a Gotham City rooftop, and he’s in the full bat-armor from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. His eyes are glowing white, and we see that what he’s pulled that tarp off of is the bat-signal. He turns the signal on and the famed bat symbol fills the sky… but then we see it’s aimed at something. At a man floating in the sky. A super-man! Cut to a close-up of Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel as his eyes start to glow with heat vision. Cut back to Batman whose eyes are still glowing white. It’s the stare down of all stare downs! Cut to the title screen: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The crowd of course went wild, but even more so when Snyder then brought Affleck, Cavill, and even “our Wonder Woman” Gal Gadot. No questions or discussion -- just the four of them standing together up there for our earliest look at the Big Three together.

Gal is still too skinny to be WW. I don't know how casting works. Alexandra Daddario was genetically modified to look like Wonder Woman, for Arceus' sake.

Most interesting (and worrying) news to come out of San Diego this weekend was that Godzilla 2 will feature Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. Sounds like they're remaking Ghidorah: the Three-Headed Monsters. After the impressively serious tone of the original film--which I recently rewatched--I'm afraid they're moving into campy Showa territory.

Looks like they are going to run into the same old Hollywood problem of upping the ante too far with Godzilla. Too much too fast leads to sequel blowout and crash. It wouldn't help that they will insist on trying to make an origin story for every single monster to fill out the 3 hour running time instead of making a lean, mean movie where monsters fight monsters and we get fucked.

You don't need an origin story for each monster...if they do that, I will be upset.  I think they need to just establish Monster Island.  Sure it is an insane concept and extremely Japanese...but so is Godzilla.  Just Create a monster Island...people accidentally stumble across it, and fear from man's encounter with Godzilla leads them to do a full scale attack which fails.  And the monsters rampage and attack. 

In the process someone has the bright idea to try and summon Godzilla to save Earth.

3rd Movie go for Mecha-Godzilla, but have it not be created by man but created by the alien race or something.

Nope this movie is going to suck. Godzilla was stupid with how grim dark it was and Godzilla didn't do anything to save people.


I mean this is Just a knee Jerk reaction to the success of Pacific Rim. Legendary should be putting out seperate films for each monster before they meet each other. Instead they're replacing what was essentially Godzilla 2 with a destroy all monster style movie, and shoe horning in characters like Mothra even adding in a bullshit quick and fast easter egg in the first film.


Godzilla 2 is going to be  bloated mess, and i'm expecting to see lesser known monsters put in this already packed movie.

Shingi pls stop you don't know what you're talking about

The movie was fine. Having Mothra and two other monsters is not a destroy all monsters thing. One is a good monster, another is an anti hero, and the other is a villain.

Another thing, thismovie has been in production longer than Pacific Rim was an apple in Del Toro's eye.  (This sentence sounds weird. I dont think I have the phrase right) If you hate the movie, fine. You can have an opinion. But you are just plain wrong and its kinda funny. :D

You can't "Marvel movie" the Toho monster movies.  There is only one monster that people care about and that is Godzilla...and maybe Mothra.  The other monsters are cool, but only in the sense that Godzilla gets to fight them.  I really wish they would have chosen some of the most abstract and silly monster designs...but maybe they can save those for when the Godzillaverse aliens invade, because some of those monsters appear to be designed not evolved...

I think you can probably easily get a trilogy outta the Godzilla source material, and have a story arc with the humans and Godzilla coming to "appreciate and tolerate" each others existence.

Gareth Edwards has spoken about doing a Monster Island concept. You could stick a bunch of nuclear waste on an island and all the monsters live there and feed off the radiation. Easy peasy. When the movie opens, Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra are all already living there. Ghidorah is probably going to be a space alien, and Godzilla will go out and save the Earth (not humanity--which I appreciate) and maybe Rodan and Mothra will come along.

Do you guys remember that Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds that we were all so eagerly anticipating regardless of how bad X-Men Origins was?

Some test footage of it has leaked, making it hurt even more that it's likely to never happen as it was written (or at all)

Here is an HD quality versio nof it released by Blur studios.
http://www.superheromoviesnews.com/2014/07/tim-millers-deadpool-test-footage.html (http://www.superheromoviesnews.com/2014/07/tim-millers-deadpool-test-footage.html)

But it's getting taken down quickly, so watch it (or save it) now.


(http://i.imgur.com/oNY3rlQ.jpg)


and the movie is still in the "get Fox to agree to the budget and R rating w/ RR still attached" stage. SO no idea when this is going to actually take steps forward. I can only imagine that this footage might atleast bring something new to the discussion.

Hopefully it will tank so hard that Fox hands the series back over to Marvel. There should be a clause in their contract which returns the rights to Marvel if the property is deemed "mismanaged". If this tanks then it is assuredly being mishandled.

Sony to be the first to do a Female Superhero movie the last decade!?
Spider-woman!?

http://m.deadline.com/2014/08/female-superhero-movie-spider-man-sony/ (http://m.deadline.com/2014/08/female-superhero-movie-spider-man-sony/)

They suggest that it could be Spider-woman
Quote
EXCLUSIVE: Having pushed the next installment of its Spider-Man franchise out of 2016 and into 2018, Sony Pictures is doing a top-to-bottom revamp of its most important property, insiders say. And that includes a female superhero movie which is being eyed for a 2017 release date, Deadline has learned.
Quote
get ready for the power of the women from the Spider-Man universe. Which characters they will develop is up for speculation, but we know that Lisa Joy Nolan (Westworld) has been hired to script and that again Arad and Tolmach are producing. There are several strong possibilities — Silver Sable, Black Cat, Stunner, Firestarter and Spider-Woman, to name a few.
Quote
It was only a matter of time that someone would announce a female superhero movie — and it happens to be Sony who is the first out of the gate. So who are these superhero women possibles? I’m no comic book geek so I’ll do the best I can.

Spider-Woman is known in the comics as Charlotte Witter, a fashion designer who is genetically altered by Dr. Octopus. Silver Sable has virtually no superhuman powers but is an adept fighter, skilled in martial arts and sword play who wears a lot of techno gizmo weaponry. Black Cat was introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as Felicia, Harry Osborn’s assistant, and was played by Felicity Jones; she is also a trained fighter and acrobat. Stunner was a video store clerk who ended up getting a makeover by Dr. Octopus to make her a powerful evil.

This is a wise move for Sony because it’s capitalizing not only on the audience’s changing appetite, but also the studio is digging into its powerful asset base and mining other characters — thereby extending the asset and keeping the rights.

I thought Sony didn't have rights to spider-woman, or is this another shared property since there are different versions her?

But Black Cat would be the most obvious choice since her character was in ASM2.

But it looks like Justice League is not coming till 2018. and where Marvel plans Summer Blockbusters, DC is planning Holiday Event movies by launching JL in November banking on Xmas-New Years legs.

The DC movies that are expected to fill this ambitious pipeline include Zack Snyder‘s “Justice League,” standalone spinoffs for Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa's Aquaman, as well as a “Shazam/Black Adam” movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a “Sandman” movie that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is producing and may star in.

Iron Man proved Metroid (the Prime trilogy) would work as a movie series.

Nintendo is still stuck in the 90's.
They are just now thinking about diversifying their portfolio as Wu-Tang Financial so eloquently explained we all need to do back late 2000's.

Imagine a high budget TLoZ trilogy based in high fantasy like LotR/Hobbit
Or a thriller/adventure/horror in a Metroid movie the vein of Alien meets Ironman meets The Descent.

I bet the games would sell alot better as they would have expanded the awareness far outside of the small gaming audience it draws now.

Microsoft has like, three franchises that would have any traction, two are shooters and one's a sad imitation of a fantasy RPG. Crossover possibilities: Minute to nil.

Sony's doing some animated stuff that could potentially cross over, but the ones everyone wants are already movies with QTEs or have tropes everyone's sick of (zombies).

Nintendo: Please understand.

Nintendo has a universe, if you look at it hard enough. You've got F-Zero, which is in space, and one of the drivers is named James McCloud. And what if Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar are both captains in the same service? Mario traveled through galaxies, so he could've run into them somewhere along that line. Boom, universe.

F-Zero could be Speed Racer meets Fast & The Furious with a dash of Death Race.

Pikmin could be partially Star Trek but mostly Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

Fire Emblem could be Game of Thrones.

Super Mario Bros. could be Bill & Ted meets Guardians of the Galaxy in Alice in Wonderland/Journey to the Center of the Earth

Super Smash Bros would be bringing them all together, but it would turn out to be The Lego Movie.

I just watched Iron Man 3 last night, I put it off even though I had it on Blu Ray for over six months because of that I am burned out on all big budget over the top action flicks. TMNT comes off as more of a kids movie but I guess it might not be much better. I know nothing about Guardians of the Galaxy anyways.

wasn't that official weeks ago? (I swear I posted this hours ago from my phone....)

But, AQUAMAN solo film is being fast tracked aggressively by WB/DC
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/aquaman-movie-hooks-two-writers-724966

2 writers, 2 scripts, 1 movie.
Let's hope it's good. I can only assume the process is that they have a general outline with story beats and characters, then the writers go to town and connect the dots and fill in the blanks, correct?

Quote
Will Beall, who wrote 'Gangster Squad,' and Kurt Johnstad, who wrote '300: Rise of an Empire,' are tackling two separate scripts for Warner Bros.

The scribes are writing — separately — scripts for Aquaman, one of the installments in Warner Bros.’ multimovie scheme to create a cinematic universe based on the DC Entertainment characters.
Aquaman is being developed on dual tracks, where studios and producers hire two separate writers to work on the same project in the hopes of getting the best version. The practice allows for release dates to be set while a project is still in development while giving it a muscular push. Warners needs just that as last week it dated nine untitled DC movies between 2016 and 2020.
Warners is not revealing which one of those will be Aquaman, but the first untitled DC movie is due for release on Aug. 5, 2016, with two more due in 2017, on June 23 and Nov. 17, respectively

so it's entirely possible that after they get the 2 scripts, they could ultimately blend the best of both into one script and we actually get a pretty good movie right?

I think it would be funny if he accidentally destroyed the set of the Entourage Aquaman movie and guest appearance by James Cameron (& the Entourage crew) in the process.

Post by: shingi_70 on August 13, 2014, 12:40:00 AM

I went downtown today on account of not having to work, and it is really starting to look like what they're filming takes place during and in the aftermath of Man of Steel Zod fight. The ATT building now says Wayne Finance and I saw Amy Adams down there as well.


It reads like the writer has some things mixed up, that or I just know too much about comics. But Kryptonite coming from the world engine or its terra fomed area makes a ton of sense and is a nice callback to superman returns.


However Doomsday's Origins is that he's an alien hell spawn that keeps coming back and adapting. By using the corpse of Zodd it would be more apt that his will be the Origin of Bizzaro or maybe even superdoom.

However Doomsday's Origins is that he's an alien hell spawn that keeps coming back and adapting.

That's actually pretty close to his origin, unless they changed it or something...

Speaking of Liam Neeson, how do you reckon he would go as Dr Strange?

That would be the entirety of the Season 3 budget in the first 6 episodes.
But on the bright side, with Arrow ending it's season really early, it puts the spotlight on The Flash, and allows the audience to get attached to that too.

With Warner Brothers gearing up to announce up to NINE new DC film adaptations within the  next day, comic book movie fans are on their toes with anticipation. Now, it appears that WB has registered the following web domains!
 
Check them out down below (though the sites are obviously in extremely early days, with the URL's redirecting to WarnerBros.com):

JusticeLeagueFilm.com
AquamanMovie.com
WonderWomanTheMovie.com
ShazamMovie.com

So 5 movies listed.... I'm too lazy to see if these line up with that original leak or not, or the list that WB had already put out.

Dominic Purcell is going to be Heatwave in the Flash. He's going to show up in the 1oth episoide to team up with Captain Cold further setting up the rouges.

Just wishful thinking but I hold there is some internal reconsideration about connecting the main TV series (Flash, Arrow, maybe constatine) with the films. Also I hope Shazam and Sandman aren't standalone and are in the DCCU as ell.

As for the dates

Some information on the supergirl TV series in the works.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/09/04/so-what-is-actually-going-on-with-supergirl-or-super-or-girl/

Quote
On the heels of the success of Arrow and the strong buzz for its upcoming offshoot The Flash — both co-created and executive produced by Greg Berlanti — the top producer is looking to transition another popular DC superhero character to the small screen. I’ve learned that Berlanti has teamed with Ali Adler, who worked on his ABC series No Ordinary Family, for a TV series based on Supergirl. Warner Bros. TV, which is behind all DC TV series, will produce with Berlanti’s studio-based Berlanti Prods..

I hear the project, which is still in development, will be a new interpretation of the Supergirl character and her story. Adler will write the script and will executive produce with Berlanti Prods.’ Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. DC’s Geoff Johns, who has been involved in both Arrow and The Flash, is also expected to be part of the project but it is unclear at this time what his role will be. The Supergirl show doesn’t have a name yet. I hear the producers are considering several options that need to be cleared, includingSuper and Girl. The project is expected to be taken out in a couple of weeks and pitched to the major networks the way WBTV and DC did with their high profile Batman prequel Gotham, which landed at Fox with a big commitment. The Supergirl series had been in the works at WBTV for some time with Berlanti and Adler. Contrary to a report that was picked up by a number of outlets, Michael Green has had no involvement in the project.

Just going by Greg Berlanti being involved I wouldn't be surprised if this  is going to be optioned by the CW as apart of the third show in the CWverse being a third step to adding Aliens into the mix.

First season of Wakfu (english dub) is coming out on Netflix September 14th.

I highly recommend checking it out if you enjoyed Avatar shows. First season is really solid, has a bit more fillers than ATLA but finale is easily on par with any of ATLA finales.

Second season in my opinion was much weaker and a few decisions about some of the characters annoyed me, but it still remains a fun show.

I'm down for this.

With all the characters on The Flash, Arrow and soon Supergirl, not to mention any possibility of crossovers with "NightWing/Teen Titans", The Arowverse could have Justice League before the Justice League.
That would be not only kinda funny, but what if it actually hurt the movie since it just wasn't the same? It could do the opposite and boost the movie, but the movie isn't till 2017/2018, so who knows.

With Supergirl could come Green Lantern (which Amell said he would personally love to see happen) and maybe Martian Man Hunter.... (probably not). Lots of potential craziness in the future of the Arrowverse.

probably won't hurt the movie since DC will most likely put in an edict that if the Movieverse team is the Justice League, than our TV guys will be the Justice Society.

I was just cooking to post this, and it's all thanks to that awesome test footage that "leaked".

Deadpool Test Footage

This excites me. I hope RR is still attached. That is the role for him.
Only questions left are, will it be rated R?

-Lucy was rated R, starred a woman and wasn't even all that good, but made tons of money. Maybe that also had something to do with Fox changing its mind?

And will it be the same script?
I hope it's the same script with a tweak about the XO: Wolverine joke saying how it's good that DoFP wiped that out of existence.

I think Deadpool has great potential, but having Zach Morris-Saved By The Bell-moments would ruin it. Perhaps he can be omnipotent and know what is going on with all the X-Men (and even the world that was changed by Wolverine going back), but if he said stuff like "Hey, I know this is a movie, watch me kill this guy," then it would ruin the experience of actually watching the movie, and it would ruin any other movies that he would be in.

I know you lose a big part of Deadpool, but say he shows up in X-Men Apocalypse and you know that he knows its a movie. Kind of hard to get lost in the movie at that point. These movies, while fantasy, need to be grounded in realism, and stuff like that would be cool for the Deadpool experience, but bad for the movie watching experience.

From my understanding of Deadpool he always seemed like a slightly darker more grey Spiderman with how he talked and interacted with the world.  Some interpretations really breaking the 4th wall, the best ones making him a wisecrack.

Supergirl got picked up for series by CBS.

same production company as Arrow & The Flash.
And the "C" in The CW stand for CBS (The "W" is for Warner Bros.), so they could still crossover.

Supergirl being on CBS and crossing over would open up the Arrowverse and The CW to a much wider audience too.

Supergirl synopsis

Quote
"Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-el escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be."

But seeing how they circumvent the Superman thing with Supergirl, I wonder if they will bypass the Batman thing with Batgirl.

I also wonder if not that Movies and TV will not cross over, link or have any association to one another, if Team Arrow will try to revive Amazon and get some Wonder Woman action on TV.

It can end up being a Supergirl Spin-off like The Flash was to Arrow.


and if you think about it, DC is absolutely dominating licensed TV right now.

Arrow (CW), The Flash (CW), iZombie (CW)
Gotham (Fox), Lucifer (Fox)
DMZ (SyFy), Ronin (SyFy)
Constantine (NBC)
Supergirl (CBS)
Preacher (AMC)
Scalped (WGN)
Teen Titans (TNT)

The CW is also working on Hourman & The Avenger
Amazon is on the back burner as well

Either Way deadpool is at his best when he's interacting with other heroes.



It gets over used in comics and TV as well. His whole thing on Ultimate Spider-man is he's the only one aware and can interrupt web heads fourth wall breaks.




His most recent apperance in Deadpool, its not his only trick but its a pretty defining character trait and the movie would be less without it.

In the comic series Haweye, the titular Hawkeye's Clint and Kate have a fallout at the same time one of the supporting cast of the book is killed. There's a whole issue where the Hawkguy's mutt Pizzadog is the main character  and finds the body. The image is from deadpool vs Hawkeye and deadpool is making refrence that the dog solved the crime of who killed Gil.

Just go read Hawkeye its what the MCU hawkeye should be based on.

Some new rumors and news tidbits for the DC Cinematic Universe.


http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=109047#wlw031B2cAGluvkk.99


-The Main Villain for Justice League is going to be Braniac. He's going to be teased at the end of BVS with him also being tipped off by the beacon that brought Zod to earth in MOS.


-The Current line up for the sucide squad is Blockbuster, Multiplex, Jewelee, Mindboggler, Captain Boomerang,Vixen, and deathstroke.


- Jenna Malone is playing Carrie Kelly the robin from TDKR and will be the robin for BVS.


coming from one of the film execs


-Wonder Woman is the Daughter of Zeus
-MOS was made to be the start of the universe.


Still feel that DC/WB is making a mistake by not including the TV series. If they're goal is to expand the universe than Arrow and The Flash does this in spades. Man of Steel doesn't have a actual date or time set to the events of the film, and you could easily set it after this current season of The Flash and Arrow. That way you have a believable move in technology from what pre MOS earth has comapred to what will be in BVS and JL. If the actor thing is such a problem, than with the exception of maybe Barry keep it to small cameos, since unlike marvel dc heroes typically have their own cities.

First DC movie after Batman vs Superman will be Suicide Squad
"Wonder Woman" movie coming in 2017!
2nd DC movie in 2017: Justice League
2018 DC Movies: The Flash starring Ezra Miller and Aquaman starring Jason Momoa
2019 DC Movies: Shazam (with Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam) and Justice League 2
Other DC movies in the works: Cyborg, a Green Lantern reboot, and new stand-alone Superman and Batman movies

so

2016: Batman v Superman (3/25), Suicide Squad (8/05)
2017: Wonder Woman (6/23), Justice League (11/17)
2018: The Flash (3/23), Aquaman (7/27)
2019: Shazam (4/5), Justice League 2 (6/14)
2020+: Cyborg (4/03), Green Lantern (6/19), Batman (TBD), Superman(TBD)

Now we just have to look up those announced dates and insert them. then compare them to the Marvel, Fox and Sony announced dates.

edit: That seems like a long wait for a MoS 2.... and a solo Batman movie., but I guess if they are in JL 1 & 2, and maybe cameo in the other movies, it won't seem like a long wait.

The untitled WB event film is the harry potter spin-off. I really doubt the Spider-man plans but for sake of what's been announced you forgot the female spider-man spin-off for 2017. If the rumors are true about spider-man joining the MCU, my guess is that were going to get an announcement that the Amazing Series is retroactiy put into the MCU and Sinister Six is the first film that sort of takes place in the MCU proper. Drew Goddard was the daredevil showrunner before going to do sinister six so if there's anyone who can bridge the two it would have to be him. I'd also say use this as the film to re-cast spider-man getting a far younger actor in their twenties.

As for the rest of the DC film, i'm really excited for their slate doing something different from Marvel, and how diverse the solo films and the Justice League will be. Out of the movies announced post BVS Wonder Woman is probably the one i'm interested in the most.

To fill in the Marvel balnks

Captain America: Fallen Son- 5/06/16
Doctor Strange:- 7/08/16
05/05/2017- Captain Marvel
Guardians of the Galaxy 2- 07/28/17
Thor 3: Ragnarock - 11/03/17
The Avengers 3 - 05/04/18
Black Panther- 07/06/18
Inhumans- 11/16/18

The list gets even more crowded once you throw in the 5 Star Wars films starting next year.

Yeah,

Oh on a related note I finished Arrow Season 2 and I was disappointed Barry didn't show back up cameoing as an un-costumed Flash.

Looking forward to The Flash.  I enjoyed Season 2 of Arrow but, I always liked the lighter characters better and I can't see Arrow going anywhere but darker.

But we knew the flash was one of the films so no matter what the wind would have better taken away from the flash. The flash is outpreforming agents of shield, so yeah.  Breevort should focus on getting one event out before announcing the next five.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 16, 2014, 09:21:12 PM
We knew the flash was not part of the movie verse, but did they need to announce the casting of a different actor for the same character (The Flash) in a movie that is unconnected from the TV show they JUST successfully launched 2 weeks ago now, when we won't even see that Flash till 2016 at the earliest (BvS) and at the latest during his solo film 3.5 years from now?

I think that is the point of the criticism. Not that there are 2 different Flash's, but the timing of announcing the Movie Flash years before the movie and right after the launch of TV Flash.
It's more about timing that existence.

Honestly, it is not a big deal.  Nobody is really looking and paying attention to this announcement, and nobody will truly care one way or another.  So then why announce it...I dunno honestly, probably because Warner Bros movies wants to take some attention off of the big news of Captain America 3.

Warner Bros management has been pretty stupid for several years.  They don't look at their products and IPs as a whole and instead look at each division as independent.  DC comics, Television, Animation, and Movies...are all kinda run separate of each other, and they don't work well together.  If they would get over themselves and realize they NEED to work well together, and stop this old mind set in media about Television vs. Movies and whatnot maybe they could actually make great movies and television.  The only problem is the movie management would screw it up. 

At least the Television side gets it.  The Arrow and The Flash are going to be successful.  Gotham not so much, and anything else brewing...I don't think so.  However, if they can successfully get the Arrow and The Flash moving forward for a few seasons, and spin them off into a Justice Society show, or a Young Justice Show, then They can introduce new shows about other characters every 3 years or so and keep popularizing DC characters into the mainstream.  Even the CW gets it...with allowing for shows that perform with lower ratings to complete their seasons and continue.

Gotham has been doing pretty well for itself, getting a full season order and pretty good ratings.

As for keeping everything separate it all works because it all helps the brand of the character over all. Plus one big difference in the comics is that DC always had the multiversr,while Marvel has always mostly been 616.

Also, DC has always been about giving each city a Hero.  While Marvel tends to have them all in New York...which means they should crossover more often.  I think Gotham will have a good season, and I hope they learn to move away from Bruce and more about the police force...which I think they will. 

But some of the other DC stuff may not last Izombie, Constantine I do not see being successful, but I hope I am wrong.

Geoff Johns talks upcoming characters (including Gorilla Grodd) in The Flash (CW)
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=109458 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=109458)

Quote

The Flash has been a huge hit for The CW, and after record breaking ratings for the premiere, the second episode showed no signs of showing down. One of the best parts about the series is the fact that it feels so similar to the comic books, and this was something Geoff Johns believes its success can in part be attributed to. "I felt like "Smallville" had shied away from the comic book stuff a little bit, but then as the seasons went on, obviously it got to that place," he told the site about how The Flash differs to other comic book TV shows. "With "Arrow" it was more grounded, but it got to that place with Deathstroke, and it felt like it was the next step of comic book television shows. When we were doing "Flash," it was like, "You know what, he's going to have a red costume, he's going to be called 'The Flash,' the world's going to know about him, we're going to do the Rogues, we're going to do Grodd." There were pictures that were leaked online of Reverse-Flash. People were like, "Oh, it's so soon!" Well, yeah, because this is our chance to do a "Flash" TV show. And if this is our chance to do a "Flash" TV show, we're going to put everything we can into it. And I don't mean shoving characters in there, but embracing what it is."

So if you liked The Flash so far, then it sounds like it's gonna get even crazier sooner rather than later.
Wonder how they are gonna keep Arrow relevant in a world where The Flash exist. They better start "tricking out" those arrows.

Looks like James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring, F&F6/7) may be directing The Rock in Shazam.

James will make an important movie for New Line and Warner Bros or DC, and that is definitely part of the plan, and a reason for bringing him into the family. He’s the only overall director with a deal here, because we see him as a class of one.
All DC Movies are WB, and Shazam is the only WB movie that is produced by New Line.
so, if including all three names in there is the hint... message received.

and The Flash got picked up for a full season back order (full 23 episodes instead of the initial 13).

The CW has given full season orders to The Flash and Jane the Virgin.
The network picked up both of its freshman dramas for the rest of the season. “We have had a fantastic start to our season this year, with The Flash launching as our most-watched series premiere ever, and Jane the Virgin recognized as the best new show this season by critics across the country,” said Pedowitz.

and I have yet to check out Jane the Virgin as it sounded ridiculous.
Virgin Latina lady get accidentally artificially inseminated by her doctor. Turns out the accidental donor is her boss. But it's got a 100% on RT or something, so maybe I'll check it out sooner or later.

Looking at that I doubt they are using a ramp.  They are probably using a directional explosive which is where all the smoke is coming from.

I just watched the first five episodes of Gotham and I am disappinted I did so, now I can't justify waiting for Netflix because I am hooked on this show.

I also got caught up on Last Man Standing, the best comedy on TV right now.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 23, 2014, 10:58:56 PM
Can I just say that Gotham has bumped Arrow down to my least anticipated comic show of the week.

Current ranking are:
- Agents of SHIELD: This show has seriously turned around. It's everything it was expected of the first season right now (minus main avenger cameos). It's almost like a whole new show now. If you're on the fence about giving it a second shot, you should. If you'd like to catch up from the 1st season, but don't actually want to sit through the whole thing, some people have come up with recommended viewing so you can just watch what's important. Let me know, I'll find and post it for you.

- The Flash: A fun superhero show, with surprisingly good effects. I think it would be even better if I was really familiar with DC and The Flash comics, but it's off to a really good start. Crazy villiains have already happened, and they have barely just got started. Arrow doesn't stand a chance in a crossover. he would be almost no help in the world of The Flash. His own spin-off basically made him obsolete. Now if only Barry would learn to fight.....

- Gotham: Wasn't sure I was gonna like this show, but after they shove that it's Batman w/o Batman down your throat in the first episode, the some of the characters start to grow on you... like Jada as Fish Mooney, Penguin, Bullock, Bruce... yes Bruce, Alfred, and even Gordon a little. Could tone down the catiness of teenSelina and the Ivy thing was just... too much. Nigma could also be a little more subtle, but subtle is not really what they are aiming for here.

- Arrow: The CWness of this is just too much sometimes. Amell is terrible with expressions, and the fact that you just have to overlook so many stupid things repeatedly (like the fact that people don't recognize Ollie as The Arrow even though his face is pretty damn visible) doesn't make me not want to watch the show, because I still enjoy it... just not as much as I'm enjoying all the freshness of all the other shows listed before it.

I am not so sure it matters with Flash how closely they follow the comics since he has been rebooted so many times pretty much anything they do is more true to the comics than even the current comics are.

I finished watching the 2 Episodes of Flash available online last night.  After seeing Barry in Season 2 of Arrow and seeing him in Flash I have real mixed feelings.  Flash ditched all the framework they laid down in Arrow.  Barry himself feels a bit different than he did as well.  Poor Felicity, she spent a ton of time with him when he was in the Coma and no one even mentions.  You think Cisco or Black Cop Father would have said something?  What about Black Sister?  What sibling type relationship wouldn't rib on that?

For Barry I actually don't like that unattainable love angle.  What would be so wrong with them just having a sibling relationship?

Also why do they use Yellow lighting for the transitions?  Should be Red.

Since Hydra leaked the AoU teaser trailer 1 week early (Hail Hydra) forcing Marvel to release the official Trailer themselves (setting a new 24hr view record), Marvel decided to give AoS viewers another special look at AoU instead (gotta get that ratings bump still).
and then even more special look the week after that during the 75th Anniversary Special.

Looks like the creator of The Tick is on the writing staff of Gotham.
His episode is up this week. Glowing review incoming.

When Ben Edlund joined the writing staff of the Batman prequel show Gotham some months ago, it was an encouraging sign. Besides creating The Tick, Edlund wrote some of the best Firefly, Angel and Supernatural episodes. And his first credited Gotham script is also excellent.

In fact, "Spirit of the Goat" is not just a terrific episode, it retroactively makes everything that's come before better by association. We caught an early screener of the episode the other day, and we're happy to report that it's a classic piece of Edlund-style weirdery. With so many great quotable lines and funny bits, the GIFs will basically create themselves.

it retroactively improves all the episodes that came before it.... it must do something amazing in this episode.

I love Jada but whoever is dressing and styling her to look that way, combined with this "rage scenery-chewing" thing she does with that character, it gets annoying real fast.

The only character they've nailed is Penguin - he has the look, the feel, the dress and the speech down perfectly.

Well you can't really nail fish Mooney since she's a new character. Personally I love her dressing and styling its a really nice medium between super criminal and more normal couture. Hair and nails aside I lot of the clothes she's wearing look like they're coming off of a runway when most of that stuff is just for concept and art.

Post by: Khushrenada on October 27, 2014, 05:51:35 PM
There's a variety of sources. It could have come from the wreckage of a Kryptonite ship from MoS, it could have been created on Earth during the terraforming process to make Earth into Krypton, it could come from space as the remnants of Krypton come by our planet in a hail of meteors or they could make something else up to find or discover it. Heck, Luthor's role is probably discovering it as an homage / lazy rip-off of the original Superman movie.

WB/DC taking a shot at Marvel? or just a coincidence of combining characters?
Supergirl to air on CBS - character named Kara Danvers
http://tvline.com/2014/10/30/supergirl-tv-show-cbs-casting/

Quote
Casting is now underway — courtesy of the same folks who populated Arrow and The Flash — for CBS’ Supergirl series, and TVLine has details on exactly what (and who) the DC Comics-based drama is looking for in two of its lead roles.

For Kara Zor-El aka Kara Danvers, the show is eyeing Caucasian females, age 22 to 26, to play 24. As the series’ mythology goes, Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way.

Kara Zor-El and Linda Danvers (so I've been told) combined to create Kara Danvers.
But Kara Danvers sounds an awful lot like Carol Danvers....

I've actually heard a rumor (I think) that Superman might not actually exist in this continuity, as this might link up with Arrow/Flash, and Kara would essentially be Superman in this TVverse.

and it's also possible that the TNT bound Teen Titans may also connect to the Arrow TVverse as well.

Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 31, 2014, 12:10:53 AM
I guess no one expected it to lead to a period piece... or that they would go with Greek Mythology (Gods of Old).

Or they could have gone with the sculpted from clay origin I guess...
But I think the majority of people expected her to be from modern times, and not ageless from the pages of history like Captain America and other worldy (fantasy/mythology) like Thor.

So I guess DC ain't afraid to stick to the material afterall. Assuming this turns out true... and good.

Very solid episodes of Gotham, Flash and Arrow this week. Probably the best of this 2014/2015 season from each of them so far.

Gotham Best written episode so far, focused on Bullock the best character, Bullock. He gets to do some clever detective work and shoot a woman in the foot!

Flash Captain Cold was actually a cool villian (ho ho!) Wentworth miller played him perfectly. Good heavens, Felicity!

Arrow Daughter of the Demon is back, Laurel is angry, Roy is doing some flipping and Malcom Meryln is back in town and being awesome. Also, Past Ollie stabs a stranger in the heart like a psychpath

Obviously, can't say about this particular version - but one of the comic origins has Supergirl being older than Superman, however, her ship takes longer to make it to Earth (for whatever reason).  The ships keep the occupant in status, so while Superman may be younger, he arrives on Earth several years ahead of Kara, ages, then his cousin lands.

Swag like no other on that one there. and I assume you listed the shows in order of airing... or the order that you watched and not the order that you liked them best?

The same Coffee shop where Barry's sister works was the same coffee shop that Ollie met Thea in.
they just changed the position of the tables and the name on the sign. I hope they get lazy like that too often. It was really obvious, they could have changed more than just the sign to make it appear different.

John Wick is pretty good. Best action movie to come out of Hollywood since Dredd.

It's apparently going to be based on the final of the four books in the series by Arthur C. Clarke, and as someone who's read that book, let me assure you that this can't possibly go well. This is going to **** all over one of the greatest movies of all time.

I finally watched an episode of Gotham.  I watched the last aired episode.  I was quite impressed. 

1) The writing was such even missing 3 episodes I could enjoy the show. 
2) The story wasn't too focused on Batman or Bruce Wayne, but Gotham, and how Gotham got so corrupt.  This can't be a pretty story, because this city is supposed to be so bad, Bruce has to become Batman and clean up the system outside the law.
3)  I love the angle of Mob bosses and police sorta having a truce to keep from utter chaos.  And I love the idea of an honest man trying to figure out the system, but not corrupt himself.
4) Finally, focusing on the villains is a great way to keep this "Batman" like but never have to be pressured to push the Wayne story too much.  Batman's villains are interesting...keep developing them.

My only complaints are some bad acting, and the tone is maybe too dark.  They also may be advancing the story too quickly.  Hopefully, they slow down some.

Well, they didn't know if they would be getting that second season, and even if they did, they originally only had a 13 episode order. So brisk story telling to finish up whatever arc they had for the first 13 (which they are supposedly filming now) and now they have a back 9-10 to write and shoot too.
Everyone is taking a page from the Arrow book, and keep the story moving. There is a lot to cover, and realistically, they aren't going to get 1 season for every year up until Batman shows up, so they may as well make it as interesting as possible now. But I'm hoping they at least have a 3 season plan outlined.

BlackandMild:  The Arrow model is actually really good.  If you go to series, go balls to the wall and tell your story.  Do take the time to develop the relationships, but don't waste time on needless episodes that don't advance story or characters.  Arrow season 2 is one of the best paced seasons of television I have ever watched. 

That said, I can see this show slowing down after the first arc, and spend some time with the corrupt little playground.  I would love a police and crime drama set with over the top villains and characters scheming against each other, while you see a young Bruce Wayne see his town and world fall apart, and deciding he can't do anything now, but he can study...he can learn, and he can be a safe house for good honest people.  That too me is a cool show.

I'm excited to see where Gotham goes. Loving the Penguin character. I think he may end up being the star of the show when all is said and done. And really, he is the best character to set the story around as he is the one who best bridges the gap between the common mob criminals and the over-the-top villains Batman battles. Less focus on Bruce though, please. Let him have his little arc involving his parents death and then let him take the back burner with a cameo here and there.

The funny thing is that Gotham has firmly cemented Arrow into the #4 spot of comic shows during the week, and is even creepin on The Flash right now.

AoS>TheFlash>Gotham>>Arrow>>>>Constantine (only seen the leaked pilot. wasn't really feeling it)

I wouldn't mind if they had more sub plots of scheming and scamming between mobsters. Blind-eye "with the program" cops, and shifty bought out politicians amongst all the slowly built up villians of on the show (such as The Penguin, and Zsasz). But it should all stay on pace and keep pushing whatever the story is forward. Last thing I want is long drawn out relationships and drama's that keep getting extended because they are delaying a certain event until the season is over. If that's the case, just make less episodes or tell the story in arcs that focus on certain people and match it all up in the end. They already need to do something with Selena as her just catting around for no apparent reason in most episodes is just stupid. She is just there because...they had a specific episode count in her contract? what is her deal?

I really hope they plotted out material for this season, and the next 2 potential seasons, so that they have no need to hold back.

I have to say, this week's episode of Gotham made watching through the ones before it worth while.

I still don't like Penguin.  I'm not sure if he's a bad actor or if his character is just that poorly written, but I don't like him.  Over-the-top and out of place amongst everyone else.  The whole scene where He begs for Gordon to be the one to kill him... guh.

But, aside from that, I liked it.

Post by: Spak-Spang on November 05, 2014, 01:56:04 AM
I think they are trying to show that he uses his weakness or appeared weakness to his strength.  The Penguin was and is always a character that always seems to get his way and carefully schemes even though he always appears to be the underdog and worthless. 

He may be written and acted over the top, but he is more compelling than Fish.  Which they are setting her up to become something important...but I just want her to die.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Plugabugz on November 05, 2014, 03:42:54 AM
I think the underlying issue with the show is that its got far too many characters - both primary and recurring - and the result is the story ultimately suffers.

The show has achieved (and "achieved" in this case isn't positive) in 7 episodes what Person of Interest has done in 4 seasons - multiple groups with multiple opposing aims and objectives and even sub-objectives.

Fish is dressed, and acted, like a constantly angry hyper lesbian. Her face looks like she's about to chew the scenery and is constantly on this barely-angry thing that never settles.

Cat, The Mayor and Barbara can all be removed from the episodes shown entirely - and their absence won't make any difference to how they functioned.

Penguin is the only character where the actor is trying to make his character unique. In fact he feels like the only actor where the casting was nailed completely perfectly - everybody else, except for Bullock, i'd change. If he was older, I'd replace Bruce with the guy who played Ethan in Extant, for one.

That little kid is the best child actor i've ever seen.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 05, 2014, 05:11:06 AM
Wut!?

Fish is chewing the scenery in every scene and it's fucking great. Did you read the story about how Jada auditioned for the part? She sold the show on how the character should be. I wouldn't change a thing about her character.

Penguin is good so far too. His awkward, "please underestimate me" approach perfectly portrayed, and the big twist of triple agent on his rise to underground crime boss is being handled pretty well.

Bullock I was pretty indifferent about until the last 2. I liked him, but his character has really shined these last few episodes.

Gordon made an impact in this most recent episode, and same with Bruce.

Selena has almost no purpose up to this point. Barbara has done nothing but been a distraction, regardless of her role of stupid female that won't trust her husband enough to do as he request, so now she is somewhere she shouldn't be, and disrupting plans by become a split focus from the goal at hand. Even though it kinda worked into Gordon's favor this time, as it stopped him from trying to execute his suicide mission, it was still stupid on her part.

The Mayor is just like every other person of "power" in the show. A puppet for the mob and money interest of Gotham. He plays his part just like the entirety of GCPD (minus Gordon) at showing just how bad the corruption is and how powerless everyone is towards changing the status quo.

The only thing I would change right now is less Selena, or atleast make her sulking in the background, more in the background. Otherwise I think the show has been handling things just fine and I look forward to seeing how they continue to handle all these things and further develop the stories they've already set in motion.

My issue is that how many of those characters (i mean physically) have a purpose? The mayor in the most recent episode was only there so he could be kidnapped, and as soon as Falcone mentioned murder he left and wasn't seen again.

Plot wise i understand, but production wise it's a waste of all the talent thats on hand.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 05, 2014, 12:33:54 PM
His physical presence was to get them in to see Falcone and show that the politicians, the mayor in particular, are cowards and firmly in the pockets of the mob. W/o the Mayor, they would never even have made it past the front gate guards undetected.

I am loving Gotham, as you can tell enough I changed my avatar to show. Penguin is stealing the show, and I like that he was always one of my top three favorite Batman villains, Riddler is number 2 and Harley Quinn is number three. I like the character 2 face but they never, EVER get him right in the movies so I am not sure how they will handle him in this but its likely he won't even be a factor because Batman "creates" him so no Batman no 2 Face.

Gotham should last 3-7 seasons and then they should launch a new live Batman series set in the same universe. I almost hope they keep Gotham separate from any of the other CD "verses" because it feels like such a distinctly separate entity.


That and I don't trust DC to not ruin their quality TV shows in a feeble attempt to cobble together their own cinematic universe like Marvel did.

But that's all driven by plot - otherwise it's a waste of the actors talent to have such short scenes. The mayor himself, for example, hasn't been expanded upon so him to only be used for such a small scene basically highlights the issue with so many of the characters

If they thin the herd significantly and focus on a smaller group of characters more frequently we'll get somewhere - but as it stands we got a few lines with Fish and then the next time she appears she's mute and staring yes i realise its about the "silent conversation" with Penguin, but to me it's a waste of Jada and the acting we know she can do.

Case in point, i suggest you watch Orphan Black, there's only 20 episodes so far of it, but the main actress carries the entire show by playing ELEVEN characters - even while acting against herself as a different character. I want to watch the show and feel like each of the characters are distinct and unique, and in Gotham they're not. (yet?)
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 06, 2014, 04:12:43 AM
Oh, I am all caught up with Orphan Black, and what she does with all those characters (outisde of the male one) is absolutely amazing. I don't know if she has been nominated for anything, but she deserves it pulling it off so consistently. You can even tell when one character is trying to pretend to be another character, that's how distinct she has each character defined.

But that is a whole different kind of show. Gotham is a purposely a little over the top in it's portrayals of certain characters, and even though some characters could be fleshed out a little more, they have lots of episodes left and need to keep the story moving, so there is time to fit it all in when it fits.

Batman doesn't create Two Face.  The mob does.  Harvey is a DA that partners with Batman and Commissioner Gordon to take out the mob no matter the cost.  He has perfect evidence goes to trial and the mob attack him in the court.  His "witness" betrays him on the stand...and everyone gets away with it.  Harvey Dent is scarred for life.  He realizes that justice is a joke when everybody can be bought, and he slowly goes insane.  In many, versions this darkness was always a part of him but suppressed. 

This story can easily be told without Batman.  You can also, show Harvey Dent struggling with justice and his dark side for years.  I really enjoyed the Dark Knight version of him...where he made his own luck with a 2 headed coin.  It showed he already had an idea to cheat, but did it for justice.

Tom Hardy, Will Smith and Margot Robbie are in various stages of discussions to star in “Suicide Squad,” which David Ayer is directing and Charles Roven is producing. Jesse Eisenberg is also expected to reprise his role as Superman's mortal foe Lex Luthor, though no casting is confirmed at this time.
I guess there is nothing wrong with taking the MS route into gaming consoles cinematic universes, if you can afford it. Hope it pays off for them.

I don't know about doing Two Face without Batman.  His partnership with Batman and Dent's friendship with Bruce are pretty important parts of the character's development, making him a tragic character and not just another nutcase with a vendetta.

I never said you can't have Hervey Dent all I said was without Batman there isn's a 2 FACE, which is a fact damn.

Again.  No.  Harvey Dent was always going after the mob.  He was not invited into the trio (Gordan-Bat-Dent) because they thought he might do it.  He was already sticking his neck out and standing up to the mob.  That's actually the best most interesting part of the character is his past before he becomes Two-Face.  It is why I can see Gotham using Harvey Dent as a great character.

[The Flash] - Crossover Event part 1 synopsis
Quote
Barry(Grant Gustin) is thrilled when Oliver (guest star Stephen Amell), Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) come to Central City to investigate a case involving a deadly boomerang. Excited about teaming up with his friend, Barry asks Oliver if he’d like to help him stop Ray Bivolo (guest star Patrick Sabongui), the meta-human Barry is currently tracking. Bivolo causes people to lose control of their emotions and has been using that skill to robbanks. Unfortunately, the superhero partnership doesn’t go as smoothly as Barry expected. When Oliver tells Barry he still has a lot to learn, Barry sets out to prove him wrong by attempting to stopBivolo alone. However, when Bivolo infects Barry and sets him on a rage rampage, everyone is in danger, and the only one who can stop him is the Arrow. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) is furious when Eddie (Rick Cosnett) tries to get a task force to stop The Flash, Joe and Dr. Wells(Tom Cavanagh) agree the Arrow is a bad influence on Barry, and Caitlin and Cisco deal with a newteam in S.T.A.R. Labs.


[Arrow]- Crossover Event part 2 synopsis
Quote
"The Brave and The Bold"
Oliver (Stephen Amell), Arsenal (Colton Haynes) and Diggle (David Ramsey) track down the location of a boomerang-wielding killer named Digger Harkness (guest star) but are surprised when they come face to face with an A.R.G.U.S. team. Diggle asks Lyla (guest star) why A.R.G.U.S. is involved but she defers until Harkness attacks the building, killing several agents and targeting Lyla. The Arrow joins the fight and gets help from an old friend – The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin). Harkness manages to get away and Oliver teams up with Barry again to find him before he can get to Lyla. When Harkness plants five bombs in the city that are timed to explode at the same time, both teams must come together to save the city. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg, and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Grainne Godfree Schwartz (#308). Original airdate 12/3/2014.

Brave and the Bold was th name of a DC Comics Team Up book that paired different characters together, so the title makes sense. The Batman series was called Brave and the Bold becuase the Ot series was Batman team up before expanding out. and the fact that alot of the Brave and The Bold took alot from the Silver Age era of comics.

Jonathan Nolan (Interstellar, etc.) is working on an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy as an HBO series. (http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/can-the-cowriter-of-interstellar-pull-off-isaac-asimovs-unfilmable-foundation-for-hbo/)

This is simultaneously something I've been saying someone should try for years and something that if not done exactly right could be completely terrible. These books would be my pick for the best sci-fi of all time, but have been called unfilmable, for largely legitimate reasons. There's basically no action, most of the characters aren't especially interesting on their own, many of the problems are solved by literally sitting back and doing nothing.

This is the kind of thing that probably wouldn't work anywhere but HBO, and require really high level writing talent to not be a mess, and it looks like it might get both of those. I am incredibly hopeful, and yet incredibly pessimistic.

Has anyone been following season 3 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?  The series has taken an interesting turn for the first 5 episodes.  Focusing on the Turtles away from New York and healing Leonardo back.  They have basically spent 5 episodes so far showing that the battle for New York last season had real consequences.  The relationships and change in dynamic is great, and Ralph is growing and becoming a leader himself.  I am sure this will set up to another Ralph verse Leo battle in the future. 

The other thing is they have been playing with pop culture references particularly horror movies and the show has this strange blend of dark humor with children's show action.  There really isn't anything quite like it on television, and it is fun to see the creators taking their time with the story. 

I am sure we will soon be moving back to New York.  I am going to guess 2 more episodes, but as of right now, I have enjoyed this break.

Replacing Jason Biggs with Seth Green made my stomach turn. Seth Green isn't capable of sounding like anybody other than Seth Green. He doesn't even try.

Star Wars Rebels has been really good, but I fear for the pacing of the upcoming episodes. So far we know that the series will be 16 episodes in the first season so the break down seems to be.


the pre-releases shorts - one episode
spark of rebellion- two episodes
rest of the series is 13.


Now having thirteen episodes isn't a bad thing, but only being Half an hour really hurts some of the pacing problems, especially when two of the already released seven are arguably filler.


Now with that said tonight's episode Empire Day was actually really well done, though. Will be intresting to see if the speculation is true for upcoming plot points. Ezra's dad is Rex from the Clone War, and Fulcrum is Ashoka Tano also of Clone Wars

Given Jonathan Nolan's work with POI, this will definitely be worth watching.

I dunno the series has been good, but that last episode was awful.  And I am really tired of the droid, alien, and boy fighting shtick.  It adds nothing to the show.

I wonder if they have general story outlines already of what they want the movies to be, a grand scheme of how things are supposed to play out leading up to Justice League, making sure solo movies hit certain beats to push the over-all DCCU plot forward (like Marvel does), or are they just kinda creating this as they go along 1 movie at a time?

Post by: Spak-Spang on November 25, 2014, 09:01:13 PM
As a Jurassic Park Mega-Fan I am excited for this movie. Trailers can make any movie look good, but at least I can say I think this movie is steering away from the problems of part 2 and 3, and could very well step up the game even beyond the original.

The original film was always about Man playing God. Creating life without any consequence, believing that life and creation in our hands is safe. This movie is coming back to this theme, but in an even stronger way. Before, we were just creating life that is now extinct. Now, man is actively creating NEW life, that God never intended to exist...or if you prefer evolution never supported. This new life is a testament to man's ego...not asking if we should do it...but if we can. Also it is a testament to man's ego that it can control nature, by not making a manageable creature but making a "bigger, badder dinosaur" probably for marketability.
So this movie has the theme correct.

The secondary theme to Jurassic Park was "dinosaurs are animals, treat them as such and not just monsters." I believe the 2nd and 3rd movie failed this. But going back to the Park element, this movie seems to be going back to that idea of wonder and awe about these wonderful animals. Not only that, another great idea is emerging. Man has always ruled over the animals...and just as always this movie shows man exploiting animals in the same ways we exploit animals today. Velociraptor racing, Gyro-cart dinosaur safaris, Dinosaur Sea World. We are locking animals that by their size alone should never be caged and exploiting them for entertainment. This is great stuff...and if handled well could be great. The key is not to be heavy handed. Do no preach it it wrong...just show that it is what Man will do.
To me the themes are right...hopefully they will get the tone right.

What do I expect from that tone? Well I expect the body count will be much greater than any previous Jurassic Park, but almost all deaths will be implied or not shown. The movie will still be PG-13, but truly expect them to capitalize on the Park being open.

Next, I expect for more scenes ripped from the first 2 books. Many people thought the Motorcycle scene looked like the Raptors were with "Star Lord" but to me this is straight from Lost World the book. Remember the scene of the fat kid is trapped in the cage and the Raptors trying to knock the caged ball around and get the kid? Well imagine that scene with the Gyro-balls. It is perfect...you can have a terrifying Raptor scene with little blood and maximum thrills. I also expect this scene to be the sole Raptor scene...as they continue to be regulated to secondary roles...but as opposed to the Lost World Raptor scene, this could be really great, as I love the idea of Raptors and other animals being forgot as a threat while a bigger dinosaur lurks about...but always in the shadows are the Raptors waiting to strike, almost scheming. Beautiful. This scene might happen earlier than the film and might be the first action/rescue scene.

I also expect a great focus on water dinosaurs, Jurassic Park 3 was about Air. Lost World was about T-Rex. Jurassic Park was about the Raptors. This movie is about the Hybrid, but an emphasis on the Mosasaur will do nicely. Remember the raft scene from Jurassic Park, with the T-Rex chasing the dinosaurs? I expect a similar scene with multiple rafts, except the Mosasaur is in the water attacking as well. This scene will play out just like the scene from Jurassic Park 3...it will be a center action piece, but will only be one scene then the dinosaur will be left alone. I see this scene possibly happening later in the film.

Finally, I do expect to see a similar ending to Jurassic Park where a dinosaur fights the mutant dinosaur to prove it is the big bad...or perhaps in this movie to prove than man is not as good as God, that the natural dinosaurs win. This will happen in the end and will allow the heroes to escape.

I have high hopes for this. I expect the best...and I hope this works and can bring back dinosaur magic.

The Falcon money shot right at the end.  The trailer does a confirm alot of things


Boyega, X-wing dude (Oscar Issacs), and Dasiy Ridley are the new big three, and all possibly force users and the new ball is their R2/chopper.


Adam Driver is the sith with the claymore lightsaber and the narration is being done by Max Von.


I bet the force awakens references these characters and by the end we see the Jedi Order start to be reestablished.

But they are never used that way.  Why use a Foil style design when your using the weapon for slashing style attack.  Its just silly.

Shoot they even evolved to a pistol grip which is more of on interesting variation than the very functional guard.

Post by: Stratos on November 28, 2014, 03:01:55 PM
I'm thinking that was the idea in Lucas' mind when he created lightsabers. And because there was never anything like a laser sword before, all manners of blade fighting styles got integrated into Jedi fighting styles without consideration of practicality. Only in more recent years have we begun to see serious alternate styles of lightsabers and more specialized variants of fighting techniques.


My martial arts exposure is limited when it comes to weapon styles as I never got that far in my art, I'd love to hear Caterkiller's thoughts on the matter as he is heavily involved in martial arts and his group has even done some choreography routines for Star Wars games.

They need to take out the fucking shakeyness out of the action shots, I was having ST:Into darkness flash backs. JJ needs to grow the **** up as a director, even the hated GL doesn't use them. The effects overall while incomplete/rushed, is still beat the prequels by a long shot as it returns the used universe feel. That x-wing porn shot, is that Fat Wedge?.

If I never see Tatoonine (Pleae blow that planet up) ever again, I would be a very happy moviegoer. I know it's cheap to film in a desert but come on. That chick looks a lot more like Padame than Leia  if it is supose to be Leia since it looks like they cast some one too young looking for the role.

I was hoping they would ease back on the Force, but nope, welcome back to more stupid light sabre designs and fuckers in black cloaks with Batman voice.

The good news is that Star Wars gets a black guy. Whether he is going to be some in joke or Lando-like is going to be the question.

No seeing this movie until the dust has settled.

Obbydent Star Wars fans/nerds, are far more meticulous in their analysis of Star Wars than Star Trek fans/geeks are. We spent 25 pages on the Blu Ray forum arguing over the color of Darth Vaders lightsaber in the DVD release. That was nothing compared to the **** storm that was Ewoks blinking. Star Wars fans don't give a **** about logic you got it all wrong, they want perfection and sadly, that doesn't exist because nobody agrees on what that means. The hype train is in full force on that forum but I like this place better, its less cluttered with all those regular users getting in the way my posts get lost, here I get noticed.

Hell the thread over there already has 12 pages of new posts since the trailer went live.

Star Trek fans are very meticulous and obsessed over details it is amazing how detailed their chronologies and stats are in those encyclopedias they release. But they have a pretty solid standard they universally agree on. Star Wars fan are without a standard in too many areas and so they are forced to come to an agreement and they never can reach that agreement. I suspect it is due to Trek being more of a "science" focused SciFi and Wars is more of a "fiction" SciFi.

Only things Star Wars fans agree on are that Star Wars is awesome, Jar Jar Binks ruins most everything he touches and Han shot first. Everything else is a heated debate.

At least they aren't like Lord of the Rings fans who will debate whether Balrogs had wings or not despite the fact it states it in the book that they do.  :Q

One of the problems with Enterprise was that the times had changed. The explosion of content produced an environment where waiting for a show to get good wasn't getting tolerated by viewers anymore. With the increased competition shows need to hit the ground running, especially now where things are so unforgiving even brilliant shows are getting chopped like Almost Human, but there were earlier casualties like Firefly and SG:U.

The worse thing about it is that it didn't need to happen. You would think with the amount of Trek experience on hand you wouldn't need to piss around for 2+ seasons till you had a good show. Also **** that openning song.

The difference between Star Trek and Star Wars is the former is Science Fiction while the latter is Science Fantasy.

Enterprise got really good the last couple seasons, and the first two weren't any worse than the first two of any other Trek series. It gets a ton of **** it doesn't deserve.

Enterprise is my second favorite Trek series behind TNG. And even TNG had an uneven first two seasons.

The problem with Enterprise was a bit of its premise. It is the beginning of deep space exploration. I think the first season did a good job of showing what that would sort of be like in a universe full of other alien life forms. The problem is that it isn't always that interesting to see these characters encounter things we've seen plenty of times on past series as they begin to progress in meeting other species or planets. As well, they make decisions that can seem stupid when we know the protocols that will be enacted in the future to prevent such decisions and so it doesn't help when comparing it to past entries yet it makes sense in that world.

I think of a scene in the third or fourth episode where they come upon their first M class planet. The crew is all excited to discover a new habitable world they can visit so they go down in the shuttle and they're all wearing these Starfleet hats and taking pictures of themselves on the planet. It's a bit like sailors on shore leave but at the same time it makes sense for them to have this reaction in that universe. Of course, they later have issues with the air on the planet and that is a bit of the plot. You compare this to TNG where an away crew beams right down to a planet and it is all business and they've got tech to scan the environment and look for dangers. Over time, the Enterprise crew also gets down to business but it does make it fill like filler or rather pointless when first watching the show.

In past Star Trek series, contact had already been made with Klingons, Romulans, etc. Those conflicts didn't require much set-up. With Enterprise, we had to see them encounter all these races the first time and start to sow the seeds of why relations with these aliens is the way it is on past Trek shows. After the show got through a lot of these "first" time moments and set up and starting establishing a lot of Trek politics/relations and focusing on those, it was as good a Trek as any. I'd say from the midway point of Season 2 onwards it is worthwhile with the occasional stumble / boring episode that plagued every Trek series before as well.

It's that early initial set-up that I think hurts the show for anyone that wants to get into it. It was clearly done purposely like that, however, it might have been better to start the series at a different point in time like having a new crew member come aboard the Enterprise after it had been out for 2 years as he learns what they've encountered and gets to know the crew and cut out some of the early growing pains. You could still have the wonder of first time deep space travel with the new member contrasting it against the veteran crew that has been a bit hardened by their travels and get the best of both worlds.

In the end, Enterprise is the only Trek series I've watched all the ways through 2 besides TNG so it still appealed to me and I find it more watchable then the Original, DS9 and Voyager. I also didn't mind the theme song.

They don't have to nerf Barry.  They have shown that Barry is over confident because of his Speed and makes foolish mistakes.  He has also been shot already by a projectile weapon.  As long as Arrow doesn't actually win by strength but by smarts then it will be fine.

Oliver Queen is no Bruce Wayne.... and even though Felicity can hack, he doesn't have alot of smarts on his side. He's more strong willed and high skilled, than outsmart and outclass.
I'm not expecting Arrow as he has been depicted so far, to have a contingency plan for Barry...
and if he all of a sudden does, it better not start off as
"Hey Diggle, there something else I didn't tell you about my time on the island....
I encountered a meta-human, one with super speed."

spoilers damn guys. I am still on Season 2 of Arrow and I took a break from Flash till I get caught up.

As for Enterprise, I never got past the first two episodes, admittedly I am not a huge Trek fan, I like the movies, well some of them, I like TNG, and I don't completely hate TOS but everything else is boring as all hell.

I am kind of wanting to see Dumb and Dumber too but I haven't found the time yet.

Baleman? BatB Batman? Batfleck? Pre-batBoy Wayne?


I am kind of wanting to see Dumb and Dumber too but I haven't found the time yet.

Do you mean Dumb and Dumber the first movie? as in you want to see it "too" or also
or Dumb and Dumber To, as in the new sequel that just released?

because I think you meant the new one, but you could have just as easily meant the 1st one as well (too).

I wrote it off after an episode but kept at it from time to time as a background show while doing chores. It's grown on me. I think the reason it turned me off was because I jumped straight from Batman Beyond to Brave & Bold and the radical change jarred me.


Then I skipped ahead to the Music Meister episode and realized that I needed to give the show more credit.

Not really one of the trademarks of the OT was that it was a used universe and that came across well in the 70s.

According to GMA the voice of the trailer is Andy Serkis, and the lighstabee sound after the falcon comes from Luke's Blue light saber lost at the end of empire strikes back.

But "used universe" is likely a way to hide what the technology couldn't do. Look at DS9 season 1 and then look again at the Dominion Arc in season 7 - the technology caught up to what they wanted to do by then (never minding budget constraints). Even the original Star Trek (and TNG season 1-3) had that issue.

The only "CGI heavy" TV series that has completely avoided the issue from start to end is Stargate Universe.

I feel it's rare to see Will Smith in a movie now-a-days. He took a four year break after Seven Pounds and then did MiB3 (which was great) and then he did that terrible movie with M. Night and his son.

Bond is back!

Forget Jurassic World, Star Wars, or The Avengers. This is my biggest must see movie of 2015!

And the poster!

(http://cdn2-www.comingsoon.net/assets/uploads/gallery/spectre/b4aizyxiuaa5bmt-jpg-large.jpg)

I love it. It evokes memories of the bullet hole through the windshield of when Tracy Bond was killed at the end of On Her Majesty's Secret Service and that great tragedy in Bond's life. At the same time, the cracks start to spread down making the octopus logo that Spectre used. EON knows how to get hype going for the Bond franchise these days.

A lot of people are speculating that despite the press release of Christoph Waltz's role as having the name Oberhauser, he will actually be revealed to be Blofeld. As much as I like Christoph, I kind of hope that Sherlock's Moriarty aka Andrew Scott who is also in this movie would be revealed to be Blofeld as well. I just think he would make the better foil / antagonist.

At the same time, I'd have no problem if someone else entirely different is revealed to be Blofeld. Why hurry to face him. The Connery Bond movies took their time. In Dr. No, he encounters his first Spectre agent, Dr. No, and defeats him. Then Spectre enacts a plan of revenge by their number 3 agent approved by the mysterious head of Spectre. She is defeated. Goldfinger didn't tough on Spectre but they returned in Thunderball where Bond defeated the number 2 man in charge, Largo. Finally in the fifth movie, You Only Live Twice, Bond meet Blofeld face to face. He would battle Blofeld again in On Her Majesty's Secret Service where Blofeld got his biggest triumph over Bond by killing his wife and then they faced off one more time in the lame Diamonds are Forever which didn't resolve much but Bond sort of killed Blofeld in the end.

I'd be happy if the Bond movies followed that same approach and took their time to slowly dismantle the Spectre organization and pump up the Blofeld / Bond conflict. The only thing I see standing in the way of that is the fact the Craig's contract is up after this and the next Bond film and so they may not want to lose or replace him before having him fight Blofeld.

The Trailer for Terminator Genesis which is a prequel, sequel, reboot, remake all in one.

Is this true? are the time travelling so hard that they make a sequel, prequel at the same time. They try so hard to do it over that it's also remake, but they change so much it's actually a reboot? all at the same time? that's just crazy.

that just peaked my interest a little bit. has that combination ever happened before?

Yes it was.
I just watched the trailer, since i didn't have a chance before I replied earlier.

So this is a sequel that takes place both after, and then before all the other movies, that incorporates a Terminator from the previous movies who sat around and aged while waiting for himself to get sent back in time to before he was even there to kill the woman he was sent back to kill in the first place.

I think I just confused myself....

It's not that hard. He was sent back years earlier to protect her for most of her life. Since they have living human tissue on the outside, they age.

I haven't watched all the movies in YEARS.

In The Terminator (1984), he was sent back to kill Sarah Connor.
In T2 (1991), he was send back to protect John Connor.
T3... Skynet takes over? I really don't remember.
was there a T4? is this new one T4?
T:Genisys - he was sent back to before T1 to protect Sarah from himself that will be sent back in 1984.... does he then join up with himself in T2 to take on the T-1000 and then they both hang around and fight Terminators in T3, and then sit around till the big war of the future? Or will the events of this movie hopefully erase everything that has happened DoFP style?

EXCLUSIVE: Fox is closing a deal with Ryan Reynolds for a feature on Deadpool, the character he originated in The Wolverine. The film, which Fox is making in conjunction with Marvel Studios, is being directed by Tim Miller, who has done strong visual effects work through his VFX house Blur Films. Miller has been developing the film for several years, from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, with Lauren Shuler Donner producing. Reynolds and other cast has posted photos of Deadpool on Twitter, so clearly this is going. Production begins in March.

You know, I like Terminator Salvation, and wished they had continued that series.  I didn't mind moving the series to PG-13, as to me blood is not necessary for this story to be scary or ruthless. 

I also like the idea of them playing the time travel rules and asking why didn't the Robots just send more and more robots earlier and earlier in the past.  I mean if you think about it....just send one robot into the past far enough to kill the ancestors of Sarah Conner.  Simple. 

The movie I didn't like was Terminator 3.  I thought it was shallow, and I didn't care to see Judgement Day, because what that turned out to be was pretty uneventful.

This got me laughing. Yeah at least half of humanity disappearing in nuclear fireballs is uneventful.

Fear of blood and PG13 is a agrravating American movie cultural aberration that needs to die. It bloodless death reinforces violence without consequence. Yeah, in both cases the person is dead but without the blood the death is disconnected from reality. This is the culture that for some reason finds the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons offensive and refuses to make new classic BB cartoons, instead what we get is Two and Half Men: the cartoon or "Buzz Bunny".

Jai Courtney is Sam Worthington. Generally generic white dude with no charisma, completely interchangeable. They cast them as everyman or some jacked up version of one, but being flawless and flawlessly boring they don't represent a everyman like the one Bruce Willis in Die Hard brought to life. John Mcclane was great because we was flawed, he had issues to deal with before the violence, got injured in ways he didn't just walk off like he did in the later movies which were much closer to cartoons. It showed being a hero can seriously suck which made his triumph all the sweeter.

You miss my point.  Uneventful, because the way it happened wasn't that shocking, scary, or surprising.  It was just kinda added at the end, and OH...OK.  No real after effect of the event. 

As for bloodless deaths.  That is not a problem.  It is deaths of characters and people that carry no weight and the people that witness them just move on, and so do the audience.  You can have bloody deaths that mean nothing and nobody cares...that is most horror movies. 

I agree with you about Die Hard though.  That is a great series that purposely put its hero through the wringer and showed him seriously get hurt and not just magically heal.

I guess it was uneventful from a certain point of view.

Blood is an easy and logical way to impart impact as a visual cue. OT Star Wars has no blood, but when a storm trooper takes a shot to the chest, it is visibly nasty. Hell they even took the time to show one storm trooper trying to take care of another.

In the end I suppose it is just bad film making which PG-13 compounds it by compromising the process from start to finish.

3. Terminator Salvation
8. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Terminator Salvation is by far the worse. All the aesthetics are wrong. The plot nonsensical. It has Sam "**** off already" Worthington. No plasma rifles in the 40 Watt range or converted plasma weapons. Christian Bale as much as I like him had two modes in this movie, quiet and screaming. Anything not in the opening sequence was components of a movie jumping the shark.

I only liked the opening sequence because it had gratuitous nuke usage and A-10 runs. It was the closest the movie ever came to showing us the future war or war of any kind. The rest of the action was just utter junk.

T3 at least tries to follow Jame's vision and in parts succeeds.

Originally conceived as an action/adventure series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everything the show was supposed to be changed when the creative team learned it wasn’t long before S.H.I.E.L.D. would be no more thanks to the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Since then, the program’s been looking for ways to be its own entity while still paying respect to its big screen cousins, and thanks to Tuesday’s mid-season finale, it seems to have done just that.

What makes the episode truly stand-out as, quite possibly, the best episode of the series to date is its dramatic chops. Often, when S.H.I.E.L.D. has to tackle something serious that could drastically alter the lives of the team, it does so with puns and jokes to deflect from the gravity of the situation. However, nearly all of that’s gone in “What They Become” because the nature of the situation is so serious that jokes would simply feel inappropriate, and it’s that willingness to break from childish norm that allows the series to truly carry some dramatic weight.

In addition, the mid-season finale of Marvel’s grand television experiment also does something it has yet to, play in specific worlds before the films do. Of course it’s impossible to dive to heavily into what that means without venturing into major spoiler territory, but what can be said is where the episode goes in its final act is to a place few ever expected the series would dare. For the first time, it truly feels as if S.H.I.E.L.D.’s acting from a proactive position rather than the reactionary one we saw during all of its freshman season.

However, the dramatic shifting of the series comes from more than just a change in tone, but also status quo. Come the appearance of the final emblem in 2014 before the “post-credit scene,” audiences will be left uneasy and unsure of how to think in the best of ways. Truly, it will be a moment that makes people say, “wow, they actually did it.”

Edit: get more HYPE.

2 more DC shows possibly join the fray next year

In addition to Arrow, The Flash, Gotham, Constantine, and soon to be iZombie and Supergirl, we appear to be getting Krypton (Gotham like treatment for Superman w/ Goyer attached on SyFy) and Teen Titans (w/ Goeff Johns and starring Nightwing)

Teen Titans:

Quote
Krypton will focus on Superman’s grandfather, the father of Jor-El, and is set quite awhile before the planet explodes.

Per the official series description, “Years before the Superman legend we know, the House of El was shamed and ostracized. This series follows The Man of Steel's grandfather as he brings hope and equality to Krypton, turning a planet in disarray into one worthy of giving birth to the greatest Super Hero ever known.”

Goldberg is writing the pilot teleplay, based on a story conceived by Goyer & Goldberg.

Krypton would join a bevy of DC Comics series already on the air, across multiple networks, with more on the way. CBS is the home to another upcoming Superman-related series, Supergirl, which is now searching for a lead actress. Meanwhile, Titans is in development at TNT and a pilot could be filming next year according to DC's Geoff Johns.

and there might even be more DC/Vertigo tv shows coming, but they escape me at the moment.


edit: Re: Teen Titans, TNT is owned by the same parent company that owns CBS & The CW (WB), so it also has a chance of being part of the Arrowverse, but not as likely as Supergirl, since that is by the same production company that handles the current Arrowverse.

Rumor: Sony/Marvel Spider-man deal may still be happening
http://www.latino-review.com/news/marvelous-da7e-75-the-spider-manmarvel-deal-is-very-much-alive

Basically marvel gets creative control, and they split cost and profits. 60/40 was supposedly the last offer on the table, with Marvel getting the larger share.
But the source is Latino-review, so take with handfuls of salt.

Of, and supposedly Sony Japan (aka Kaz Harai) is bringing it back to the table due to disappointment in the handling of the property and the entire leak situation.

That is seriously classy.

I had a feeling having AoS showing Agent Carter was going somewhere. The problems is that this show is going to run into prequel syndrome. Two, is there really enough interest for what is effectively two AoS shows. The timeframe might be different, but they are fundamentally the same show.

If Agent Carter shies away from Hydra and Aliens than the series should work. Just make it a nice self contained period piece in the MCU without many last minute reveals. If they bring in any marvek concept or idea I hope its the idea of the man on the wall.

Report: Netflix Making Legend of Zelda TV Series

http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2015/02/06/legend-of-zelda-netflix-series/

Quote
“The Legend of Zelda,” one of the most popular videogame series of all time, is in the works as a television show at Netflix.

The video streaming service is in the early stages of developing a live action series based on “Zelda,” about an ordinary boy named Link who must rescue a princess named Zelda and save a fantasy world called Hyrule, said a person familiar with the matter. As it seeks writers to work on the show, Netflix is describing it as “Game of Thrones” for a family audience, this person said.

The “Zelda” games have traditionally included swords and sorcery, like “Game of Thrones” or “Lord of the Rings,” but typically with a more light-hearted, kid-friendly tone.

Netflix is said to be working closely with Nintendo, the Japanese game developer that has made about 20 “The Legend of Zelda” games since the original, which was released in the U.S. in 1987.

Nintendo is very protective of its intellectual property and has allowed few adaptations over the years. An animated “Legend of Zelda” series ran for just one season in 1989. A 1993 movie based on Nintendo’s “Super Mario Bros.” was an infamous bomb.

As it is still seeking a writer to work on the series, Netflix has a long road to travel before a “Legend of Zelda” series actually becomes a reality. It’s also possible that Netflix or Nintendo will kill the project before it gets off the ground.

A Netflix spokeswoman declined to comment. A Nintendo spokesman said the company “doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation.”

So it may or may not happen, but Netflix and Nintendo are looking into it.

I really wish this was Animated and on the caliber of The Legend of Korra.  I just don't want live action.  Zelda is about the world, more than Link...and I don't see a live action TV budget giving us the quality monsters, and fantasy world I expect of out Zelda.

for those that don't check the Marvel thread.

Spidey joins the MCU. will appear in a movie, and then have a solo movie, financed, marketed and still owned by Sony but created by Marvel Studios. Spidey can appear in other MCU movies, and details for MCU characters appearing in Spiderman movies is also being worked out.

Amy Pascal joins Feige at the Producers table (likely as his silent Sony partner after being forced to step down as head of Sony Pictures)
Avi Arad is sidelined with an Executive Producer credit.
New Spider-man being cast for the role, and J.K Simmons may return as J. Jonah Jameson.


Solo Spidey movie inserted into 2017, and several movies are shifted back as a result.


Avengers: Age of Ultron: May 1, 2015
Ant-Man: July 17, 2015
Captain America: Civil War: May 6, 2016
Doctor Strange: November 4, 2016

Quote
Homeland star Morena Baccarin has nabbed the female lead in Deadpool, Fox's action movie based on the Marvel character.

Tim Miller is directing the action-adventure project, which stars Ryan Reynolds as an assassin who undergoes a procedure to cure his cancer that ends up leaving him twisted and scarred but also imbued with superpowers.


T.J. Miller and Gina Carano are already attached to the project, which is eyeing a March shoot and is slated for an early 2016 release.

Baccarin was one of a handful of actresses shortlisted for the role of Reynolds' character's love interest. The character grapples with falling for a man with a hideously scarred face.


Good to get some reconfirmation that they are staying 100% to the character. I know that was something that RR was very adamant about. A Hard PG13 rating shouldn't hurt the movie either. Violence is acceptable, even language is more lax now adays. All we wouldn't be getting is excessive gore, vulgar language and nudity, and I can live without all those things.


it's rumored she will be Domino. Now I need to go back and read that leaked script from years ago. I wonder how much of it makes it to the final script.

Matt Fraction and (wife) Kelly Sue DeConnick sign deal with Universal to bring Sex Criminals to TV

(https://pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/sexcriminals.jpg)

Quote
Comic book power couple Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick are venturing into television with a two-year overall deal at Universal TV. Under the pact, the married duo will adapt some of their comic books as well as original TV series concepts. They also plan to use their Milkfed Criminal Masterminds production company as a TV launchpad for other comic creators’ IP.
Quote
One of the first projects the company is developing under the Uni TV deal is an adaptation of the Eisner Award- and Harvey Award-winning comic Sex Criminals, created by Fraction with partner Chip Zdarsky. Image Comics’ Sex Criminals, named the best comic of the year in 2013 by Time magazine, centers on a female librarian and male actor who discover they can freeze time when they orgasm.
Quote
Fraction is a multiple Eisner-winning comic book writer known for his work on Hawkeye, The Invincible Iron Man, The Mighty Thor, Avengers Vs. X-Men and other Marvel comics. He has created such Image Comics properties as ODY-C (co-created with Christian Ward), Casanova, Satellite Sam, Last Of The Independents and Five Fists Of Science. He was a consultant on the Iron Man 2 film. In TV, he wrote an episode of FX’s animated comedy Archer.

I've never read it, but I heard it was really good.
Hopefully his new production company can get a Hawkguy series out for Marvel as well.
Renner needs the extra exposure as Hawkeye.

I recently watched a few episodes of Ducktales, as I was trying to get my sister-in-law's cousin's daughters (jebus) into them, and they loved it. And so did I. It holds up pretty well. All the comedy is incapsulated to the series, which means no pop culture references. The sense of adventure is still there and their are some pretty interesting plot lines. All around, yeah...it more than holds its own.

I'm glad they're bringing it back. Just stick to the formula (unless you want to get rid of huey, louie and dewie...they are annoying).

The untitled project, now in development, is described as a superhero team-up show. Routh, Miller and Garber will reprise their popular DC Comics characters  — Arrow‘s Ray Palmer/The Atom (Routh), Flash villain Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Miller), and Flash‘s Dr. Martin Stein (Garber).

Because her Arrow character Sara Lance was killed off, with her sister Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) taking over as the Black Canary, it is unclear whether Lotz will play the same or new superhero.

The project is in early stages of development, so there is a possibility for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new spinoff. Additionally, in a tidbit that should get fans fired up, I have learned the new project will include three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series.

Looks like the Lazarus Pits aren't quite done yet.

So we will have Arrow, The Flash, (possibly) Supergirl, (big maybe on Titans), and now another spin-off on The CW that will bring in all the regulars from Arrow and The Flash, plus some new people. But no mention of the Suicide Squad.
Seeing how Arrow dropped like a rock on the interest/quality/excitement meter, most likely due to concurrent production of The Flash, I'd really hate for this production company to seize the opportunity but ultimately fail because they are spreading themselves too thin too quickly. 3 confirmed production on 2 channels (The CW & CBS), and now early production on a 4th, to be aired on the same channel as 2 of the previous 3 (Arrow/The Flash).

The above mentioned idea sounds to me like a Suicide Squad like show.  Or perhaps a Secret Six? 

Though I like the idea of this being a Suicide Squad with Ray Palmer being the money and the good guy that keeps everyone in check. 

Another idea is that it could be developed as The Outsiders.  Remember the studio is just bouncing ideas off the table now, and they realize they can't keep all these different characters in the same show and universe and keep a good balance.  Arrow and The Flash already have a problem when they team up.  So what do you do? 

I can see this show taking the place of a Titans show or Young Justice Show...However what would this show replace in the lineup...3 Super hero shows on one channel is too much.

That’s Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El, in what’s the first image to be released from Supergirl, the new pilot from Warner Bros. Television and based on the characters from DC Comics. Supergirl’s pilot episode is currently in production for CBS and also stars Mehcad Brooks (Jimmy Olsen), Calista Flockhart (Cat Grant), Chyler Leigh (Alexandra “Alex” Danvers), David Harewood (Hank Henshaw), Faran Tahir (The Commander), Dean Cain and Helen Slater (both in unspecified roles).

The costume for Supergirl was designed by three-time Oscar® winner Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for The Flash and Arrow and whose motion picture credits include Academy Awards® for her work on Alice in Wonderland, Memoirs of a Geisha and Chicago, as well as eight additional Oscar® nominations for films such as Into the Woods, Snow White and the Huntsman, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Sleepy Hollow, among others.

Colleen Atwood said, “In designing Supergirl, I wanted to embrace the past, but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today.”

The Supergirl pilot is from executive producers/writers Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler and Andrew Kreisberg. Sarah Schechter is also executive producing, with Glen Winter directing.

Based on the characters from DC Comics, Supergirl is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

It seems weird to me that they gave her stockings. I kind of wish they went the Man of Steel route and have Supergirl wear a unitard. I know the skirt has been part of the costume since forever, but I wouldn't have minded them ditching it.

Same with Wonder Woman in the DCCU. They just released some pics of her working out and... well, she is very pretty, but she has no definition, tone or muscle what so ever.
She could at least thicken up a little, unless Princess Diana the International Runway Model by day is the look they are going for.

Does Supergirl really need to be buffed up if she gets her powers from the Sun? Same with Superman. Their strength doesn't have anything to do with the size of their muscles.

This is true, but then you see things like this:

And of course you have the men:

(http://www.fitmole.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Henry-Cavill-workout1.jpg)


I understand when you say that muscle size isn't necessary.  And technically that is true. The girls don't need to be full on body builders. That would be over doing it.  But I would at least like them to try and give them at least an athletic appearance.  Last  I saw Gal Gadot still has the whole fashion model thing going, certainly not what one expects from a super heroine, especially when one of her powers is strength.  I think Caity Lotz is probably a good example.

(http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/full/534055490.jpg)

Some nice musculature and definition, but not a potential eyesore like Ms Olympia so it won't detract from the sex appeal they are obviously shooting for when leaving the bikini models in there.


Look at Henry Cavil up there.  The same principle could apply to him.  He could be as defintionless as I am and the super powers could easily explain his abilities.  Apparently someone felt it necessary to bulk him up a bit and I'm glad they did.  It just looks like a better fit.

Nobody looks as ripped as the comics, You would have negative body fat to look like that. **** even Xavier looks ripped in the comics and he is in a wheel chair.

She looks fiiinnneee  ;D and I rather that she be able to act instead of the usual mistake of casting MMA fighters or a looker who can't act. Arnolds/Rocks are a rare find. It is also a lot easier to have an actor act like they can fight instead of trying to teach a fighter how to act.

The only thing I don't like about the look is it feels grim dark and has that Man of Steel texturing. The stockings are there to reduce the sexualization a little and to avoid the panty shot issue from the get go.

I much rather they make more stuff along the lines of Superman/Batman the Animated series, but those are more than likely a product of their circumstances and culture of the time. Too many shows today seems to be meth driven action and forgets about everything else.

It bums me out that Supergirl won't be apart of the Arrowverse.


Speaking of which
http://tvline.com/2015/03/08/arrow-flash-spinoff-series-cast-rip-hunter-fury/


The descriptions of the three never on the silver scene heroes.
Quote
“THE TRAVELER” |[/font][/size][/color] Described as a “Han Solo-esque rogue who gets by with his charm, this hero hails from the future, and has journeyed back in time on a secret mission. His razor-sharp wit hides the pain of a man who has lived through serious conflict. He also harbors many secrets, always leaving both his teammates and the audience unsure of his true allegiances.
[/size][/color][/size]My guess for the The Travler is Rip Hunter, a pulpy Hero who has the ability to travel through time and works with Booster Gold. [/color][/size][/color][/size]http://www.adamarnold.net/riphunter/rip2.jpg[/color][/size][/color]
Quote
[/size]“FEMALE WARRIOR”[/size][/color]This twentysomething Latina is pretty but unassuming, book smart and socially awkward by day. But by night, when she hears the cry of battle, her fury is ignited and she becomes a fierce warrior — so much so, that sometimes she can become a threat to others[/font][/color]



The Obvious thinking is this is Fury the Daughter of Wonder Woman, but digging the description sounds more like Rose and Thorn an Anti-hero who suffers from multiple personalities
(http://. http://media.dcentertainment.com/sites/default/files/comic-covers/2012/06/NATC_ROSE_THORN.jpg)


Quote
[/size][/color]“MYSTERY HERO”[/color]An African-American male in his twenties will fill the role of a regular, street smart guy who unexpectedly gains powers, and then, as part of the team, regularly quips about the insanity of the situations[/font][/color]



Probably Black Lightning but I hope they keep the fact that his day job is being a school teacher.

I like this idea...but how in the world are they going to pull off Hawk Girl on a television budget? 

What I really hope happens...is I hope many of these ideas turn into limited series.  If CW could do a comic book series justice for 2-3 seasons TOPS, it would be a really cool way for DC to get exposure for all their characters...specially the obscure characters.  Then you can always hire special guest appearances of certain characters.

quick question.

Have either of you read the leaked Deadpool script from years ago?
the one they are supposedly still adapting to film?

that was a good script, and it was R rated. not hard R, but still R.

when you 2 think R, what do you think we are getting? Because I'm pretty sure we won't be bathed in grossout blood and guts effect. R rating will most likely come from language, and most likely not from Deadpool even. There will be blood, excessive violence, and vulgar language with lots of crude humor and "adult" situations.

It will not be Saw, The Living Dead, Cannibal Holocaust, Hostel or anything on any of those levels. Just violently graphic and vulgar enough to earn a soft R rating.

I haven't read it no.  But the above is exactly what I don't want in my comic book shows.  But this is Deadpool and therefore the whole point to the character, so it's not like I am crying foul.  Just a bit disappointed after the lower rating rumours. 

I do enjoy the character.  That first sequence in Wolverine was great.  Something at that level would be great (for me).  I'm not immediately discarding it.  I'll certainly be watching reviews closely.  Depending on them I MAY see it at the movies, but will more likely be watching it on Blu Ray when released.

Do you guys remember that awkward Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp a few years back?

did you ever think that would lead to Maleficent, which would lead to the very successful Cinderella, and that in turn would lead to the green lighting of a live action Jungle Book, Dumbo, Beauty and the Beast and Mulan.

but now Disney is also making a Pinocchio and Winnie the Pooh!!?

I understand that DOFP basically erased much of the other franchises, so maybe Warren Worthington III is born earlier now, which I guess could make sense, but it would still be odd that he would also be born a mutant...unless all of his parents' children would have the gene.

A little ditty they threw together to amp up the remaining few episodes of Arrow and Flash.

With the spin off and Supergirl coming up next season, we are gonna have to make an Arrowverse/DCTVU thread to contain it all.

and that video reminded me of a Justice League episode. One where the heroes were Canary and I think a few others were under some sort of mind control to do underground fighting gambling ring.
anyone remember that episode?

The ring itself was very similar to that one if my memory serves me correctly.

Canary, Huntress, Vixen, Hawk Girl, and Wonder Woman.

It was a great episode highlighting the women of the universe.  One of the best episodes by far.  I really want down that series digitally, but I already bought it once, and the price is too high on itunes.

Together on Netflix, at last!

And seeing how Daredevil went, Aka Jessica Jones will certainly be one not to miss.

Especially once this Purple man makes his entrance ;)

I was underwhelmed.  It looks like that test footage from a while back got kept.

It was too dark and gritty for me.  Like, the whole world hates Superman? Why?  Batman is suiting up to fight him because reasons?  The Marvel movies have some color and fun to them.  This looks. . .dreary.

eh I like that it isn't the same tonally than the marvel films. The trailer alone has me more excited about than anything Marvel has announced since its such a different take on the reprecussions of being a superhuman.


Pretty much my main issue with the DC verse, which began with The Dark Knight. They think that realism means hefty consequences and darkness and edge.


Well in universe like Marvel or DC realsim would mean hefty consequences, and come on its batman who people seem to like dark for some reason compared to Bat family.

Dark Knight wasn't apart of the DCCU and everything the universe makes its seem anything than dark. Than again i'm still wondering why people call man of steel grim and gritty. 
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 17, 2015, 09:32:47 PM
Marvel has it both ways and in between.

From light to dark:
Avengers/movies have all been fairly light in tone
Agents of SHIELD is the middle ground
Daredevil (Netflix series) is the grim dark

Something for everyone.
DCCU hasn't had enough content to claim that they aren't only going monotone, but everything they've shown/talked about so far suggest that's where they're headed.

Expect we reportdly have Lord and Miller on the The Flash.
Suicide Squad looks like an expendables style action movie.
Shazam being described as an all age film thats's about being a 10 year old's power fantasy.
Flash and Arrow are incredibly cheesy.


Not to say I don't disagree with you but they're taking alot of inspiration from The Dark Knight Rises (Bleh) in not only tone but story beats for the main conflict. I wonder how they plan to weave in this being an Origin story for Luther and the rest of the Universe when TDKR was a commentary on superman at the time and sadly spawned countless comics that missed the point that it and its contemporaries Watchmen and mircaleman were mainly lampooning.   


I'm a huge DC Comics stan and I find the follow up being based upon what happens in man of steel cool. My biggest complaint about the MCU was we never got a real indepth look at the fallout from New York. That said I hate some of what Warner is doing like not linking the TV series with the films.


I'm a bit worried about Justice League and Wonder Woman though but that might be the ideas they're going to use.

this is what the actor playing Doom had to say....
Quote
“He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m ‘Doom.’

I believe that alone is all the reason anyone needs to not question the lack of enthusiasm for this movie prior to the trailer which only aims to justify said lack of enthusiasm.

Lord & Miller making a theatrical Animated Spider-Man movie

Quote from: PR
LAS VEGAS, April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 20, 2018, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, the directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and 21 and 22 Jump Street, are taking Spider-Man back to his graphic roots with the first-of-its-kind animated Spider-Man feature, it was announced today at CinemaCon by Tom Rothman, chairman of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group. The film will exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe, all of which are continuing.

Lord & Miller are masterminding the project, writing the treatment and producing the film.

As previously announced, Spider-Man will next appear in a live-action Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, a live-action film being produced by Kevin Feige at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. The animated film from Lord & Miller, dated July 20, 2018, has Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Pascal also serving as producers.

Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.

Was down at EPCOT today and attended a brief 10 or so minute preview screening of Brad Bird's Tomorrowland, and that movie looks amazing. It's a Disney-fied BioShock, where Walt Disney is Andrew Ryan and the 1964 World's Fair is his Lighthouse, spiriting all the best and brightest to his own private utopia in the sky. Haven't seen a Brad Bird movie yet that I didn't like, so this movie's definitely in my sights. Honestly, I'm more psyched for this than anything else Disney's putting out this year.

[Star Wars Spin-off] + [Fantastic Four]Josh Trank is off the Star Wars movie.

word is that there were some troubles with Fantastic Four (neither Fox nor the Producers, who is also doing Star Wars, was happy with his performance). No word on what that means for F4, but it's probably as bad as we all thought it would be.

I'll add links later if I run across them again.
think it was on variety and deadline or something.

Fantastic Four looks like a such a weird movie, it seems that its more serious for the sake of it and because the last two X-men films were all pretty dark. It also seems based on the trailers the production team loved Interstellar and decided to make a serious FF film instead of embracing the kooky cheese. Feels like this movie would make more sense being in the X-men Universe than being stand alone and then trying to tie them together down the world.


I wonder what this means for the Star Wars spin off, shooting is still two years out and all reports was that this was going to be a Bobba Fett based film (Bleh), so I wonder with bringing in a new Director will Lucasfilm scrap the Bobba Fett and start from Square one or are they so early in development that it wouldn't matter.

The best thing I can say about the Supergirl trailer is that it was better than the Jem and the Holograms trailer. Supergirl looks like it could be okay, but it's like the Saturday Night Live Black Widow parody... except meant to be serious. My issue with Supergirl is that it's as if the producers decided, "Oh, we have a female lead. Let's target a female audience. They like Devil Wears Prada and Gossip Girl, right? We'll make that but with super powers!" Well, no. Start with making a good product. Focus on what makes Supergirl a good character. That trailer is like a romantic comedy checklist with some superhero stuff thrown in. I'm a big Supergirl fan (obviously), and the sheer amount of cliches in that trailer is insulting. It's the lowest common denominator for a female superhero story.

On a more positive note, her costume looks a lot better in sunlight. I still would have preferred a unitard because the skirt just seems impractical for crime fighting.

I think this could work.  Obviously the effects are going to be cheesy...some of the visual effects looked as bad as first and second season Doctor Who...but if the stories and characters are good then I am game. 

I kinda want to know how involved the Flash and Arrow would be in the series...I am guessing not much, which is kinda silly, because IF you have a crisis as big as you are describing...AND a time machine to fix it...there is no excuse to sit the battle out.  However, that is often comic book stories.

That said, I have grown to appreciate cheesy visual effects if the drama and story are good...so bring this one, it looks like fun...and PLEASE have Arrow and Flash in the series more than just 3-4 guest starring episodes (I know it won't happen, but still.)

Big fan of the supergirl trailer myself it takes a bit from the Sterling Gates run and with a bit of Ugly Betty which is probably the best way to remake the superman dynamic. I know there have been comparisons to the Black Widow trailer but frankly that's dumb. The SNL skit really didn't fit the character of Black Widow which was apart of the Joke, however making more of a romantic comedy works for other younger characters like Supergirl, Ms.Marvel, and Spider-man to be frank.


I get why someone wouldn't like it but once they announced that Jimmy and Kat Grant were going to be apart of the cast you sort of already knew what they were going for which was Supergirl being a Clark Kent stand in. (which makes the fact that Clark exists in the show even more dumb.) To Ad's rock's compliant he says make a good show first but their isn't any thing inherently bad about the trailer which actually looks like a lot of fun and it seems to have garnered praise from alot of female comic fans it seems. Also the problem with saying using what makes supergirl as a character great is there's like 8-9 iterations of the character going on about twenty if you decided to include powergirl.  They seem to be cribbing alot from different versions of the characters


-Her Job, cool Jimmy, and her tension with Cat Grant comes from the Supergirl series that happened right after the Superman/Batman series and is the same series that the desgin from adrock's avatar came from.


-Her having an adopted family similar to clark is taken from the Linda Danvers incarnation. 


My major problems with the trailer is the superman references wore thin six minutes in which Baffles me even more why not have it be stand alone and work inside the Arrowverse. Also yeah the Music at the end was really bad and the whole girl thing felt a bit like a jab at the audience and on the nose girl power. Beyond that The actress seems to be chasmatic and looks like she will be able to do a good job of playing Dual roles.


Also if you compare this trailer to the one that aired for Flash last year they're pretty much the same beat by beat. Even down to all her close friends expect Cat knowing for Secret Identity and her having a Team Supergirl already in place. Even to the point that Hank Henshaw will probably be the Wells/Merlyn of the series.

The SNL skit really didn't fit the character of Black Widow which was apart of the Joke, however making more of a romantic comedy works for other younger characters like Supergirl, Ms.Marvel, and Spider-man to be frank.
The overarching joke was that Marvel doesn't understand how to write female superheroes which is at least partially why Marvel isn't releasing its first movie with a female lead for another three and a half years. The skit uses Black Widow mainly since Scarlett Johansson was the guest, but it works because Black Widow is the most prominent female character in the MCU who is notably without a solo film. Marvel currently has one female lead (Agent Carter) and then only AKA Jessica Jones and Captain Marvel slated to be released.

And if Marvel turns Spider-Man and Captain Marvel into romantic comedies, I might just give up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe entirely. I'm more familiar with the former, and it has never struck me as anywhere close to that genre. If the focus is going to be on their alter-egos' romantic relationships, don't even call the movies "Spider-Man" and "Captain Marvel." Call them "Peter Parker" and "Always the Bridesmaid: Carol Danvers." Might as well add a laugh track if they're going to stray that far from the source material.
Quote

I think there is. As previously stated, it's appealing to the lowest common denominator. Arrow and Flash weren't made into romantic comedies so it's especially problematic here. We only have a trailer to go on regarding Supergirl, but the superhero stuff seemed to take a backseat which is like the opposite point of making a Supergirl show. My issue with it is the same issue I had with the way Supergirl was written out of the DCAU: she travels to the future to fight evil then stays for a boy. It's a shame because all the Supergirl stuff was handled pretty well before that. When writers don't know what to do with a character, they fall back on tropes and stereotypes which ultimately hurts the character and the story. Maybe the show will prove me wrong, and I'm willing to give it a chance because I really like Supergirl as a character, but right now, I don't like the direction it seems to be taking.

I believe they've admitted as much, and the problem with it is that means they outright chose the bits that could be used to make Rom-Com Supergirl. Why not pick bits that don't pander to a specific audience?

I suck at doing multi-quotes


Quote
The overarching joke was that Marvel doesn't understand how to write female superheroes which is at least partially why Marvel isn't releasing its first movie with a female lead for another three and a half years. The skit uses Black Widow mainly since Scarlett Johansson was the guest, but it works because Black Widow is the most prominent female character in the MCU who is notably without a solo film. Marvel currently has one female lead (Agent Carter) and then only AKA Jessica Jones and Captain Marvel slated to be released.


And if Marvel turns Spider-Man and Captain Marvel into romantic comedies, I might just give up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe entirely. I'm more familiar with the former, and it has never struck me as anywhere close to that genre. If the focus is going to be on their alter-egos' romantic relationships, don't even call the movies "Spider-Man" and "Captain Marvel." Call them "Peter Parker" and "Always the Bridesmaid: Carol Danvers." Might as well add a laugh track if they're going to stray that far from the source material.




But the best Spider-man stories have thier DNA ripped from romantic comedies even down to small tropes like the meet cute. Spider-man out of all the Silver Age marvel stuff pulled the most from when Stan Lee's work on romance comics a decade prior. Even with the Amazing movies the best parts are the Pete/Gwen dynamic which for better or worse is nothing but a rom com.


As for Captain Marvel I wasn't referring to her but a related character named Ms.Marvel
(http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140418232733/marveldatabase/images/f/f0/Ms._Marvel_Vol_3_3_Wu_Variant.jpg)


In fact the series shares alot of similarities too the supergirl trailer down to the somewhat adorkably frumpy protag,the genius best friend who makes all her gear and is in love with her.

Now Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers and her movie is probably going to be part top gun, part heroic space adventure after she gets her powers.  Also using the always the bridesmaid Carol Danvers is hella patronizing to the source material seeing as what works for one character doesn't work for another and in KSD run which the film is going to crib a lot from Carol has only dated War Machine and most of her supporting cast is just her family and mother figure.


You say stray from the source materiel but Ultimate Spider-man, Spider-man loves Mary Jane, The original run that went from came from Lee/Ditko/Romtia all had qualities of a Rom-com and  focused alot on pete's life outside of spider-man.

[qutote]I think there is. As previously stated, it's appealing to the lowest common denominator. Arrow and Flash weren't made into romantic comedies so it's especially problematic here. We only have a trailer to go on regarding Supergirl, but the superhero stuff seemed to take a backseat which is like the opposite point of making a Supergirl show. My issue with it is the same issue I had with the way Supergirl was written out of the DCAU: she travels to the future to fight evil then stays for a boy. It's a shame because all the Supergirl stuff was handled pretty well before that. When writers don't know what to do with a character, they fall back on tropes and stereotypes which ultimately hurts the character and the story. Maybe the show will prove me wrong, and I'm willing to give it a chance because I really like Supergirl as a character, but right now, I don't like the direction it seems to be taking.


Fair enough, I do agree with the Legion reasons, but that was mostly done as supergirl and the legion is a thing from the comics and for whatever reasons people think the legion are cool. I mean watching the trailer she doesn't do anything for the sake of a man though, she probably is going to have a crush on jimmy, and really hasn't shown any romantic feelings toward toyman. As for the supergirl stuff taking a backseat that isn't necessarily a bad thing., though even in the comics I tend to enjoy books that  focus on the Alter ego as much the superhero stuff. But once again fair enough, but like I said the trailer trope wise shares is nearly beat by beat the same as the flash trailer.


As for Arrow it might be a romantic comedy but seasons 1 and 2 are incredibly soapy and has alot in common with a show like the Young and the restless or the bold and the beautiful.  That's sort of where the whole radioactive joke comes from right.


Quote
I believe they've admitted as much, and the problem with it is that means they outright chose the bits that could be used to make Rom-Com Supergirl. Why not pick bits that don't pander to a specific audience?


My guess is that the show was conflicted on what they were going to do and they've attached alot of what typically is used for Clark Kent and attached it upon her Kara going more in the lois and clark direction. I can see why people won't like it, but as a slice of life guy i'm eating this supergirl series up.

I'm not sure The Amazing Spider-Man series is the best example to use considering it was collectively considered such a failure that Sony is rebooting Spider-Man again, and handing the keys over to Marvel. That said, my point was in a movie called Spider-Man, the focus should be on Spider-Man. Not that the Peter Parker scenes can't or shouldn't also be good, but Spider-Man is the entire point. The same principle applies to Supergirl. And I don't even outright dislike the romantic comedy genre. I just don't think it's the right thing to dedicate most of the trailer to. If they want to make Kara Zor-El Takes National City, make that show instead.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have any aspects of romantic comedies whatsoever. The Supergirl trailer was just dripping of it so it seemed excessive. Granted, trailers are typically handled by the marketing department, but if this is the tone they want to invoke, it doesn't inspire much confidence in me. Still, I may be pleasantly surprised. If the trailer is just supposed to get women to tune in with the hope of hooking them, then the trailer was clearly not meant for me, someone who is already a fan of the character. Maybe they just expect me to be there when the show premiers.

My bad. You mentioned Ms. Marvel in the same sentence as Supergirl and Spider-Man, and since there's no Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) movie/TV show coming out, I thought you were referring to Captain Marvel.

You're reading too far into it. I made a throwaway rom-com joke. The "always a bridesmaid" thing is one of the most obnoxious and overused tropes in the genre. I rather like Carol Davers as a character (even if I wanted to sacrifice Davers to give Rogue her powers before I knew who had the rights), and outside of Captain America: Civil War, I'm looking forward to the Captain Marvel movie the most in the MCU.

The DCAU:  Justice League Unlimited is one of the best representations of the universe.  I have no problem with Supergirl staying for a guy.  It is not unlike stories don't do the same with a guy staying for a girl.  Heck the end of Thor is basically, Thor turning his back on his responsibility and home for a girl.

People fall in love and they are willing to do anything for that person, even foolish things.

Reboot is getting a Reboot (http://screenrant.com/reboot-tv-show-remake/)
Quote
“Transcending age groups with appeal to kids, tweens and teens, ReBoot: the Guardian Code is an adventure-comedy series about four teens (Austin, Parker, Grey and Tamra) who discover that they’re next-gen Guardians with a mission to save the world, by defending it in cyberspace. The Internet revolutionized the world, but it also left it vulnerable to attack. With the help of VERA, the last surviving cyberbeing from the original Guardian Program, our heroes stream into cyberspace where they use their awesome code-based powers to battle viruses that have been unleashed by a ruthless hacker. Known only as the Sourcerer, he seeks to rule the world by controlling cyberspace. Original fans of the show will be happy to hear that Megabyte will be back and he’s getting a major upgrade. ReBoot will showcase leading edge technologies and bring coding into the mainstream for kids.

When Austin, Parker, Grey and Tamra are not trying to stop viruses from overloading a nuclear power station, or remotely opening a dam to flood a city, or playing Criss Cross Crash Hour with a city’s transportation grid, our heroes are being typical teens: arguing with their parents over curfews; dealing with crushes; or trying to avoid getting suspended for skipping class when they’re really on a cyber mission to save the world!”

I have nothing but love for Reboot but, this sound awful, like PSA awful. That is seriously fucking up the core Mythos of the series. They could have messed with the series in a lot of different ways, but this should have been untouchable.

Edit:Missing Link.

The "kids with secret identities trying to balance saving the world with real life" trope is getting really old. And not many of the stories with this plot line pulled it off very well. But there will always be an appeal for the sub-genre because what kid doesn't have dreams like this?


Pity they are killing Reboot. My friends loved the show and I thought it was rather enjoyable. Hex (Hexen? Hexidecimal? can't remember her name) needs to make a return because she made the show for me. She was an enjoyable villain.

Hell I would watch new Reboot today even if they kept the visuals like they were back in the 90's, new characters, new system, time skip, but nope, got to rip out the core mythos. Just tragic.

Same sort of reason I stop watching Thunderbirds are Go. They entirely missed the point of the series when they keep focusing on the fucking Hood and trying to serialize it with Beware the Batman level of terrible writing. Thunderbirds Is great because of it's limitations, not because of how "Epic" you can make a disaster.

I have been re-watching the Justice League Animated Series, the Superman Animated series, and the Batman series.  I have to say animation is the way to do these films.  Get really good writers and hire really blockbuster Hollywood voice actors, and make great animated movies.  You can do whatever you want, because Budget will not be an issue...just bring in enough talent to make every fight great.

You say that like they're mutually exclusive Burton's Batman films were Dark films yet had a lot of fun to them. Also the Nolan films were pretty dark and still did gangbusters. I'm not sure why DC has to approach things exactly like Marvel has I like that the DC and Fox Movie slates are a bit more realistic and really this no fun stuff is bullshit consdeering we have Lord/Miller on the flash, Justin Lin doing Aquaman, and Shazam is being approach as a family friendly film.

I like Gadot's look so far as Wonder Woman myself and she reminds me a lot of cliff chaings version of the character.

Nope, I say it because they are making series that are dark for no reason except to be different.  They are not looking at the character and seeing who the character is and what the character is about, and THEN making the movie.

Superman is not a dark character...he shouldn't be in a dark, overly serious movie.  It should be lighter than Batman, except that is not what we got with Man of Steel.  Your examples were ALL Batman films, which should be dark.  However, you ignore that the first great Super Hero movie Richard Donner's Superman wasn't dark at all. 

Justice League just looks to be pushing all the DC characters into the drab serious world.  It doesn't have to be that way...create some contrast, so people understand the different characters. 

The CW did it right with The Flash.  They allowed for a fun popcorn series to be created.  Sure it has its moments of serious threat, but Barry Allen is light, and playful.  Yet he still hangs out with The Arrow...who is still a darker character. 

Marvel looked at the characters, and asked the important questions...who is this character?  What are his/her stories about, and then crafted their movie.  So Captain America is an adventure series, but it is also rooted heavily in the Spy genre and conspiracy genre.  We have Heist movie with Ant Man.  Iron Man perhaps played it more straight for a Super Hero story, but it still focused on corporations and legacies...dealing with a broken man getting a second chance in life.

Isn't your last line exactly the same for Ant-man though. Honestly I liked Man of Steel and just like Ant-man is a Heist film I view it mostly as a first contact film. Also filter and neck snap aside Man of Steel isn't that grim of a film. Plus I really like the fact that they're leaning into the real life reactions and consequences of two aliens using a US city as their battleground.


I was reading the new EW and is anyone else surprised that the Last Hunger games movie is finally coming out. It seems that series has been going for a pretty long time now.

I dig the new Batman v. Superman trailer, think it does a good job of setting up a story of how these epic superhero battles have consequence, something I think Marvel movies sometimes do a poor job of illustrating.  Hopefully there'll be some weight to the actual story in the movie.  That said, I still can't see Jesse Eisenberg playing a good Lex Luthor.  He's given some good lines in the trailer, but just sounds and looks like an aging college art student.
 
As someone who never saw Evil Dead, the Ash v Evil Dead trailer looked like a lot of fun.  Although I supposed it'd be good for me to go back and watch those before giving that a shot.
 
Finally, that Deadpool trailer was awful, in that I couldn't hear anything and the picture quality was awful (not surprising from a horizontal phone recording).  Is there any expected release of the trailer to the public?

You Know Amanda we really are the Suicide Squad.


Really excited for DC's upcoming Slate of films. I'm just hoping Dark Universe isn't in Limbo.

Apocalypse looks pretty dumb thus far. I think they picked the wrong guy for the role...but maybe the released pics (only from 5 weeks of shooting, apparently) aren't his final form or something. He's not supposed to have a blue face. Also Magneto looks pretty dumb too...should have gone with his look from DoFP. They always do this crap where they put lines and straps and "sections" into costumes for no reason and it just looks dumb. I will say that Storm and Psylocke look pretty great though. It will be weird seeing how this next movie will be the further erasing of X-Men 1, 2, and 3. For someone who has never seen any of the movies they should actually watch them in the order that they were released (or just watch First Class before any of the others, then go in order)...or they could just never watch the first 3 movies since the events don't take place anymore. Anyway...Apocalypse looks dumb.


I guess this isn't part of the MCU since it's Fox...but meh.

here are the pics just incase anyone was wondering what they look like:

and I think Apocalypse should be taller. like 7 foot tall. maybe they will make that happen in post, but he should look intimidatingly tall.

Fox will keep the rights just to spite Marvel, unless Marvel offers them a sweetheart desk like they did Sony for Spider-Man....

Only problem is, F4 is ruined, it's only the villains/supporting cast that Marvel is interested in at this point.

Fantastic Four isn't ruined.  They just need to be handled carefully.  Treat them for a few years like Black Widow.  use them in another persons movie.  They would have been great in Civil War, to show more people with special abilities exist.  I still think Age of Ultron should have ended with Scarlet Witch mourning and wishing for " More Miracles "

From Metacritic:

Quote from: Rolling Stone
The latest reboot of the Fantastic Four — the cinematic equivalent of malware — is worse than worthless.


Quote from: New York Post
A lousy script, unfocused direction, incoherent editing, shockingly terrible special effects — and, probably, panicked studio executives — have left its four talented stars muddling through a dull superhero origin story with zero payoff.


Quote from: New York Daily News
Someone forgot to put anything fantastic into Fantastic Four.


Quote from: USA Today
An unfortunate movie that does an embarrassing disservice to the decades-old property and is a frightful waste of all the talent involved.


Quote from: Washington Post
The special effects look cheap, the acting is wooden, and the shouted dialogue consists largely of throwaway action-movie cliches (“Let’s do this”) and B-movie sci-fi jargon (“His bioenergy is off the charts!”).


Quote from: Tampa Bay Times
Fantastic Four is so mediocre that its title seems like a violation of truth in advertising laws.

So....?

Considering the four lead actors involved, what a waste of effort.

Several huge plot points skipped over 1: sequence of events that results in them getting their powers was because they were all drunk but in the next scenes right after all perfectly sober. 2 Doom was left on the planet for a year alone and apparently the planet sustained him, but doesn't he have to eat? 3 how does being pelted with rocks turn Ben into the thing? 4 why does the "gate bridge" only go to that planet?

I could probably keep going. Also, for whoever goes to see it, pay attention to Sue's hair. There's several points in the movie where she jumps from wig to no-wig and back repeatedly.

It looks like Diggle was right in resisting getting a costume. First look has been released. And it's horrendous.

http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2015/09/Diggle.jpg (http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2015/09/Diggle.jpg)

They're usually pretty good with costumes so this is quite disappointing. Maybe it'll look better in action but I'm not holding my breath.


Edit: And now there's a trailer.  The bad news:  Diggle's costume still looks terrible.  The good news:  Looks like the happy and quirky Felicity we all know and love is back!

his costume is terrible and Arrow better make up for it with a S3 redeeming, way more awesome than the best of S2, season 4.


more Flash crossovers would probably help. and that new show too.

Wait they made Gordon a dirty cop?

No, Nope, absolutely not...I didn't watch this show but it is dead to me.  Gordon should never be a dirty cop or tempted in anyway.  To me Gordon HAS to be the cop that can never be bought, never compromise even if it means losing the things he loves.  He has to be a rock on the side of the law.  That is what makes his character interesting in Batman...he is on the same side as Batman but works completely within the law.  Also, it means you can let the rest of Gotham Police Department be corrupt and still have one good cop. 

This show should have done a time jump of 3-4 years after the first season.  It would have been a better choice for story...but not better for actors.

Is it really robbery if you are collecting on a debt that is owed? The eventual victim acknowledged he owned the money, he just refused to pay it. So it was taken by force, but only after a gun was drawn, and then turned back on it's owner.
eventually the owner of the gun got to keep it's bullets (lodged in his chest), but they were only fired in self-defense.

This assualt also took place after the initial incident of money exchanging hands, so it was no longer in the act of "robbery" but the act of getting away ;)

ONE PUNCH MAN

This is an anime but that thread is pretty dead, so I'll post it here.

If you like super heroes and the super hero genre, you'll love this anime. It's only in it's infantcy with two episodes and a third coming on Saturday, but so far it is pure gold.

It's about a super hero who can defeat anything/anyone with one punch. The animation is great, the pacing is superb, and it is downright hilarious at times.

and not a single mention of how Fox gave up Fantastic 4 to make it happen....

edit2: DenOfGeek seems to "confirm" the above is true, and one of those 3 new MCU movies is infact Fantastic 4 related, as Marvel got the rights back to not only the Fantastic4, but to all they were attached to as well (Dr. Doom, Galactus, Silver Surfer, Super Skrull, Kang the Conquerer, Annihilus, etc etc).

Rolling Stone Magazine reviews Jessica Jones
 http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/10-best-movies-and-tv-shows-to-stream-in-november-20151027?page=2
Quote
Marvel's TV outings, both on network TV and on Netflix, have been hit-or-miss affairs, but the fourth time is the true charm: Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is the superheroine the world has been waiting for. Part Buffy and part Veronica Mars, the titular character is a former superhero-turned-private investigator who's struggling with the residual trauma from an abusive relationship. We'll leave it there for now, but it's safe to say that showrunner Melissa Rosenberg has no intention of wasting her chance to use the language of fanboys as a means of dismantling rape culture. This is undeniably the current crown jewel of the company's small-screen roster and possibly the most interesting thing they've done since the dawn of the MCU. Don't miss it.

Here's a look at Legends of Tomorrow:



It looks to ramp up the cheese and fun factor that The Flash brought to the Arrowverse.
I'll check it out, but I'm going in with NO expectations other than it's cheesy and meant to be fun.


I will not focus on all the issues time-travel will have on EVERYTHING related to this show. I will just consume it for what it is, and how that Arrow continues to lighten up a little to fit in better with The Flash and now LoT..

I do hope they take the time travel element seriously. Doctor Who can cheat around it by means of "wibbly wobbly timey wimey" (plus being the "parent show" so it can get away with it) but Legends will need to clearly establish how this works.

I also need to start Jessica Jones this weekend. And The Man in the High Castle.

Vandal Savage and time travel just seems like a bad idea to me.

Vandal Savage is not really known for super strength or anything.  He is a Lex Luther type villain that is even more dangerous because you can never kill him.  He can scheme infinitely because the reality is he can never die. 

All anyone would ever have to do is time travel back to when there was less advanced weapons and kidnap him removing him from the time stream all together and then he would not be a threat.  However, if he gets a time machine then it is game over you could never stop a true immortal with a time machine.

As usual it appears to give away the basic plot.  Not that it's one that couldn't be predicted after several seconds spent in thought.  Or we can think positive and hope the trailer is a misdirect. 

The (presumably) big bad is also revealed in this trailer so if you don't want to know then I suggest avoiding it.

Civil War is my pick of the 2 big ones coming up soon, but I'll still be in there and seeing this.  When it comes to superheroes I'm laughably easy to please.

Talk about ruining the entire movie.  But seriously, they should have just called this movie Trinity.  And give Wonder Woman a bigger role.

And presumably no...that was the Big Bad...and it is obviously who it is...and they are foolishly using that villain WAY, WAY too early in Superman Mythos for these movies.

And I completely agree that they are wheeling him out FAR too early.  Considering what this villain has done throughout their history I would have though this would be a villain they would build up to.

I'm actually less excited for the movie now. They could have stopped that trailer about half-way through and it would have hyped me up. I could feel the hype draining from me in the second half.

Post by: Stratos on December 03, 2015, 09:43:19 PM
I want to like him. Except I keep thinking it is a pre-accident Joker character because he behaves how I would expect a proto-Joker would in this situation. "Ooh! Two powerful and colorful characters who don't get along! Let's throw them in a cage together and see what happens!"


It almost feels like we saw two movie trailers. Do you think there is a chance that they put the trailer together special combining both of the planned films together? I'm really hoping something bigger comes out of the final first film because at this point they popped the excitement bubble.

I agree that they showed too much. They should have kept the trailer as Bat v Supes conflict.

They not only showed the Big Bad, but revealed how we got him and everything. Should have saved something for a few extra trailers closer to release.

Yep. Lex definitely doesn't seem very Luthorish in this.

I wasn't very hyped about this movie to begin with, as I am a MarvelMan, but I was certainly interested... MoS wasn't the best, and this certainly isn't hyping me for an opening night/weekend viewing and much less a theater watch at all.


edit:
and Batman has a gun!?

Supes looked JACKED, Bat look HUGE, and Wondy don't look all frail...


but I'm not sure what to say about [Big Bad Revealed]DOOMSDAY!! (http://giant.gfycat.com/AdmirableOilyBlacknorwegianelkhound.gif)
Looks kinda like Lizard from Amazing Spider-man fell in some TMNT Ooze

I'll still watch it, but I'm not "HYPED" for it like I was hoping i would be.... I'm not even lowercased "hyped"...
but Suicide Squad trailer wasn't doin it for me either, so I hope they do better w/ WW and Justice League.

The Flash on TV has been pretty damn good though, but that's a topic for a different thread.

The character doesn't look at all like Abomination.  It looks exactly like who everyone else says it is.  (I am afraid to attempt the spoiler tag.)

Anyway, Batman with a gun doesn't exactly bother me.  If Batman knows the weapon will not kill then using a gun is acceptable...but often he states how he hates guns, so I can see him never using something that realistically looks like a gun.

But hey the DC Cinematic Universe is a strange universe.  Superman is bleak and kills and Batman scars and brands his victims...it seems all rather dark and not like the DC characters I know and love.

I am a huge Turtles fan.  I must say this has me slightly optimistic.

The problem is still the Turtles designs...and I am not just talking about there faces.  Nothing about them look like Ninjas.  But to make matters worse they are still extremely over designed.  Donnie is my favorite character, and this design is just insulting.  It is like, we have to make sure you visually know he is the smart one.  Nick's cartoon series did a great job of showing the Turtles personality in their design without over doing it. 

I am also worried about their personalities...everyone said they nailed the Turtles presentation in the first movie, but NO the didn't.  Leo which is supposed to be the leader and the overly concerned one, just fought with Ralph or did nothing.  Ralph was the leader and character with an emotional arc, and Donnie and Mickey were left to be caricatures of the cliched characters they already were. 

This looks better because it captures that retro feel of the 90s cartoon series, and honestly that is what they really need to push for with this series go extremely retro and go over the top.  Finally, if they can get some humor to make fun of the genre as a whole then it will be even better...but that last one won't happen.

I have no problem with the song usage.  But, the song didn't fit the trailer.  I didn't feel like I was watching a sabotage or a betrayal or a setup happen.  Perhaps that it taking the song too literal for the trailer, fine. 

But the rest of the trailer, what do we have?  If I was to believe what the trailer presented the movie to be.  It looks like the ship is attacked and alien groups are forced to live among each other and fight.  Also the movie appeared to show way too much transporter stuff for me.  Which honestly was a problem with the first 2 movies anyway.

As a huge fan of the character since before he gained ridiculous popularity, the trailer has me only sort of hyped. The Mutants appearing alongside him and consistent tone are nice, but I'm afraid that the high-stakes aren't going to let any serious, character building moments happen.

In other words- too awesome, not well-written enough.

I think the 4th wall breaking should be played carefully.  The trailer did a good job, having him look at the camera and tell a joke, but it could easily be him talking to himself...because we know he is kinda crazy like that. 

This movie has to kinda play it safe in story department, so it will have a very by the books kinda story, but expect the action to be kinda crazy.

I hope next movie we get something more strange and silly.  I would love something as silly as just Deadpool going to grocery store...and crazy things happen.

3: Doctor Strange
4: X-Men Apocalypse
5: Suicide Squad
6: TMNT 2
7: BvsS: DoJ
8: Gambit

Batman

vs

Superman

These are the trailers they should have released sooner, next followed with a trailer or two w/ a little hype of Lex and Wonder Woman.

the last thing they should have ever shown, if ever shown in a trailer, was Doomsday.
they could have shown the destruction and action from the fights, but never should have shown him directly or really even hinted at him in early trailers. let the trailers continue to hype the Title of Batman v Superman.
Not Bats vs Supes... until Lex creates an even bigger an more immediate threat which calls in the need for Wonder Woman (and Aquaman and possibly The Flash), so all the fighting you are seeing is actually Bats & Supes & Wondy vs Doomsday created by Lex.

in other words, marketing for this movie could have been better, much better considering the expectations surrounding it on both sides of the screen.

Saw the BVS trailer when I went to watch Hateful 8 which is a great movie, go see it. Apparently if you can go to a 70mm screening, it is something to behold.

Nope. Snyder's Superman never worked for me and Affleck has always rubbed me the wrong way like he has a built in smug factor. Comes to think of it, I don't remember any Snyder I like besides 300 and Watchmen. Batman bitches about collateral damage while causing it, well done.

Suicide Squad is trying way too hard to be cool.

Also please stop giving Jai Courtney work, he is fucking terrible always.

Captain America Civil War is looking very safe boring acceptable way. Nope.

Might watch Deadpool though. Could use some no fucks given no holds barred assaulting joke making.

I find it interesting that their big promotion revolves around "Who will win?" when we know already the fight ends with some kind of truce.  It reminds me of all those videos about how Superman shaves if he's invincible which never gets mentioned in the film.

I have been watching Legends of Tomorrow, and it is a pretty fun show, but after 3 episodes I can't believe the stupidity of the characters.  After Episode 3 or at least Episode 4, they should have finished Vandal Savage. 

This is the problem with the show, it is not the Time Travel Element that is actually interesting...it is the fact that the Villain isn't really a threat compared to the team they have.  I am sorry, an immortal can't be killed, but he can be locked up, imprisoned, incapacitated. 

I think Vandal Savage should have never been the main villain but a catalyst for the show.  Also, episode 3 proves these time travels are morons.  First they expose themselves and their identities to the villain, something you should never do.  Second, after doing that they are going to find him in the 80s instead of going further back in time?  First of.  Why?  In the 70s you still have the advantage of more advanced technology and knowing where he is.  In the 80s he knows about you and knows to prepare for you. 

Why not go back to the 60s?  He still has to be around...just find him and you have the element of surprise again.  Also, why not just go further back in time to Egypt and investigate and find him and kill him there.  Again use this as a catalyst for the show and let the Time Council be right, and the rest of the show is fixing the world from their mistake about killing Vandal Savage.  Heck if you were really worried about him destroying a future.  Why not kidnap him, and take him into the future where the world is about to end and drop him off there.  Boom...instant success. 

I know this doesn't make as fun as a show...but that is why I think a using the character as a catalyst is interesting...make the show be about watching other dictators and evil be worse than Vandal Savage and making the tough decision that you have to put him back in history.

This is true, and there is a rumors going around now that not only was the movie heavily edited, and altered to have more Batman, but that WB may not exactly be thrilled with the reaction to trailers and early screenings, mostly dealing with the Superman portions of the film.... Which may suck because everything is being setup based on MoS Superman... And I didn't particularly like MoS, but I'm also not really a Supes fan. The Batman portions BTW look awesome in that trailer, and I'd be much happier with a solo/centric Batman movie, based on this Arkham style Bats we got. And seeing the Batman clips makes me a little more hyped for Suicide Squad knowing he's in that as well.

Deadpool HYPE is still at an all-time high right now, but this BvS trailer probably just insured that I will watch it in the theater. how soon after release depends on friend hype levels, as I'm not going alone for this. They will have to convince me to go with them, not the other way around, like with DP and all the Marvel MCU movies.

Post by: nickmitch on February 12, 2016, 03:56:52 PM
Yeah, using MoS as the base for this was always a terrible idea.  I think they made the initial decision based on ticket sales from MoS, but Superman movies are a cash cow and they've never been good. Ever.  The Christopher Reeves movies don't hold up, and Superman Returns rode purely on the nostalgia for the older ones.  Then you get a crazy, driven Batman paired against a god with all the personality of his cardboard cutout, so it doesn't surprise me if Batfleck.

I just remembered that I actually don't have to see ben affleck being batman, just hear his voice, and sometimes not even then. I never get tired of Batman fucking up a group of goons in his personal trademarked style and that's pretty much all I want out of this movie, ben affleck be damned.

Superman is an asterisks. I really couldn't care less, but if he's the motivation Batman needs to develop some crazy tech and/or smart strategy, then Superman is as good of a reason as any.

We all hoped it would be like the cartoons, which still are spectacular. They would have done well to see how they got so much right before sitting down and writing the script. All I know for certain right now is that this movie is at least going to be interesting. If it sucks, we'll tear it apart. If it doesn't, then we'll enjoy it. No where in those trailers does it look like it's going to be average.


P.S. Jeremy Irons sold me on seeing it in movie theaters.

Henry Cavill should take notes on how to play an inherently good, straight-laced, super hero and still be interesting.

He wasn't the real issue with MOS though, the real issue was tone and style.

EDIT: this is what happens when you post at 2am. I meant he should take notes from Chris Evans, who plays Captain America.

I believe it was the one I posted up above, and I agree completely and thought I said that exact same thing here.... but I must have said it somewhere else to someone else.

But yes, they never should have released most of those other trailers. This one showed all they needed to show. Maybe a few extra clips of Lex so you know who he is, but definitely nothing that shows reason for it to not be Bats v Supes at any point in the movie. That should have been a complete surprise.

Chairman: ****! What can we do to combat that! um,um...
Employee: oh Batman vs Superman
Chairman: Can we get it out before them?
Employee: yes sir!
Chairman: Go go go!

Superman is also a **** and boring character. why? Because he is to op, he has no conflicts that he cant overcome, and when he does we know he can but its just bad writing.
I will see the movie because of Batman tho.

I think the Batman v Superman concept was out before the Civil War thing.  Though it is fair to say that DC and WB are chasing Marvel/Disney's success with the Avengers film.

However, Superman can be a great and complex character, if the writing is good.  That requires writers to make Clark Kent an actual character and have Superman save the day with something other than just trying slightly harder.

Of course there will be. Pfft.  Ususally those Director's Cuts go "unrated" because studios don't bother with sending a different cut to the MPAA, but I guess WB want the social cache' that comes with being an R-rated super hero flick now.  I just hope it doesn't feel awkward or forced.  No reason to have a Tarantino blood splatter on an otherwise PG-13 fight scene.

Post by: Spak-Spang on February 24, 2016, 07:10:50 PM
It probably means that the movie went to the board and they gave it a mild R rating.  They now have to edit a few shots and hide some of the more graphic imagery to bring it down to PG-13.  I don't think this means they are going to try to make it a true R-rated film like Deadpool.  Instead, they are going to use the buzz about Deadpool's success as an R-rated movie to push sales of the home release.  While still shooting and editing a PG-13 film for the theaters.  Think The Dark Knight's rating was PG-13.  But if they had edited just 2 scenes differently it could have had a light R rating.  (The Pencil Scene is one of them.)

BlacknMild:  Well that doesn't mean that they didn't know it would be R from the rating board reviewing the edit for the theatrical release.  You don't get news stories about the initial ratings just the final.  Or it just mean the the Home movie released the cut they already had for the home.  Maybe one is cheaper to do than the other...and it could help the studio get an idea what needs to be taken out or revised?

No Lucario, the US ratings are G, PG, PG-13, R, then NC-17.


G is General Audiences, PG is Parental Guidance Suggested, PG-13 is Parents Strongly Cautioned, R is Restricted to minors being accompanied by an adult, NC-17 is No Children under 17 admitted.
Title: Re: New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Spak-Spang on February 24, 2016, 10:57:50 PM
Lucario:  No it is

G
PG
PG-13
R
NC-17
X  (Porn)

So R stands for under 17 restricted without an adult.  So if you have a guardian and under 17 you can see it.  NC-17 means No Children under 17 period.  It doesn't matter if you have parents with you.  X is strictly porn.  So a movie could be NC-17 and not be porn.  usually it is for drug use, violence, sexual situations and Nudity.  In America you can get away with certain kinds of nudity, but there is a limit in R of what you can show.  For example...Showing bush is OK, but if you show any spread legs you are moving to NC-17 territory fast.  Nudity with sexual implications are moving to NC-17.  However, to balance that you can get away with some nudity in PG-13 IF there is no sexual implications to the nudity.  A perfect example to this is the movie Nell which has full nudity in the film, but never in a truly sexual situation and it is rather innocent.

Don't want to get into it, but showing people die in ridiculously heinous ways will rarely get you a NC-17 (like a dude getting sliced in half vertically), while showing a vagina is NC-17 everytime. It's a weird standard. American families are like, "Come on son, we'll go see this horror movie together." And a chicks head gets beaten to a pulp with a bat by a stalker and that's not even the worst scene. And then the movie next door, there's a scene where a woman is raped and it dares to show it and its fucking awful but her head still has the brains on the inside and the movie deals with the repercussions of that one scene and its NC-17 and thus will not be shown in pretty much any theater and it dies an obscure death.

Hypotheliciously:  I won't argue that.  I think it is silly standard.  I think it comes down to 2 things. 

1)  America is pretty uptight about sex.  It is not nudity as I mentioned above, it is sexual nudity that is the big problem.

2) You could make the argument one is real and one isn't.  What I mean is one is an act of special effects via computers or modeling...which although horrifying isn't real at all. 

I would argue that you can tackling almost any subject without resorting to showing the violence or nudity and handle the subject matter maturely the thoroughly.  I think the art of not revealing the gore or sexuality while showing the impact of it is lost.

I do like the classy transition. Bond movies have always done this well. And I won't argue that showing sex is necessary for many plot lines that did show tits or ass. But then I'd argue showing a guy get dicapited isn't either. We're just more comfortable with the latter. It's simply interesting. But isn't sex?

And just because I know something isn't real doesn't make it less visceral. Movies about the holocaust aren't real, but that doesn't make the violence any less visceral because it was real. Just because I know the actor didn't die, I know someone like them did. And on the other side you have that scene in Wolf of Wall Street where his wife is enticing him by spreading eagle, denying him sex but showing her nudity. Just because that would have been real, doesn't make their relationship or the movie any less of a farce. Yet I know this has certainly happened in history, so it feels like a cop-out. It would have made that scene even more hysterical, more real. And showing a jewish woman being shot point blank would have been real too.

I think we Americans are just uncomfortable with being aroused, especially in a group setting. We don't know what to do about it when we are. Or we do and it's in the privacy of our own homes. Yet I know for a fact people are aroused all the damn time. It's impossible not be with the media throwing every attractive person they can find at you and giving them cute or charming dialogue. It's monetized, but showing a couple in love and getting me to believe it is where we get uncomfortable. It's truly strange, because either way, its all a farce anyhow.

I'm gonna say no.  I'm sure the home release was being planned all along, and the studio was sending cuts of the film to the MPAA all along.  They sent one lengthier version, got an 'R', and took it back to make it PG-13.  Then Deadpool makes being R-rated trendy, so the Blu-Ray team decides, "Well, we were just gonna slap the original cut on there without getting it rated, but if we send it back to the MPAA, we might bump up sales by being able to say it's R-rated".  Meanwhile the studio is trying to get their "soft" 'R' down to a "hard" 'PG-13'.

Just to sill out some blanks.

The UK system is:

U (universal)
PG
12A (12 and under can see these films with someone over 12)
12 (video ratings)
15
18
R18 (adult premises only)

Most films are deliberately targeted at 12A for more people to see. Deadpool, thankfully, was 15.

Jaws is rated PG. Despite people getting eaten up and all. I was surprised when the movie was over and the PG logo popped up. I was like "o rly?"

A Clockwork Orange was rated X

in the 70s X meant NC-17. A lot of movies that were X rated in the 70s are re-rated R.

It’s tough to take all the hardcore emoting seriously, particularly as the emotional heavy lifting is designed to be done by the occasional maudlin line in brief pauses between the explosions. For a film so concerned with its characters’ inner lives, there’s a fundamental disconnect going on here – enough to make you yearn for the lighter touch of the Marvel films.

Marvel can rest easy. Zack Synder's superhero showdown is a meatheaded, humourless mess that makes little sense and squanders its cast - especially the women

This can only be a good thing.  Warner Bros is not going to quiet its plan to make DC movies.  However, they may take this big hit and realize that this overly serious tone doesn't fit most of their properties.  You need to approach super heroes the way Marvel did, accepting the color the playfulness and overall absurdity of the genre.

This could be a bad thing IF Wonder woman and Suicide Squad aren't hits, as they may delay Justice League and then focus on an Affleck Bat-trilogy instead.

ok, they probably won't do that, but they may send Snyder the way of Goyer (exit stage left). But it also doesn't say much for Terrio who came in and over-hauled the script at the request of Affleck. So I'm not really sure where the confidence in JL would be based on who's involved and how BvS turned out (assuming the general audience reacts the same was as critics).

JL is set to start filming at the end of the year. If BvS fails(/under-performs)..... well, what does WB/DC do?
Snyder is set to direct, and Terrio wrote that script as well. Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. They can't reboot again, as they've already set too many pieces into play with Aquaman, WW, The Flash, Cyborg, Lex, and who knows who else.

I'm going to go see it tomorrow, so I hope it's more entertaining than I expect... and i have really low unhyped expectations long before any critics or reviews came out. I'm am actually far more interested in Suicide Squad than I am BvS, and I don't know **** about them outside the bastardization that was on Arrow.


edit:
actually, I would hope that maybe DC would wise up and capitalize on the DCTVverse and budget a miniseries event for the whole CBS/CW crossover shows including the upcoming Vixen and the defunct Constantine.

Batman has always been the only superhero which could really pull off the super serious gritty movie well.

Punisher is one of the few that could come close thanks to a focus on the use of human skill and ingenuity, not superpowers. The more fantastic the powers, the more absurd the nitty gritty feel gets.

Look at Arrow, it came off really well until they started having to include meta humans like Barry. But the show quickly figured this out and adapted slightly as necessary, though not to the same success as Marvel has done.

I think that may be the issue DC has in theaters. They don't know how to adjust their heroes to different, appropriate genres. If instead of Ant-man we got an Atom movie I feel it would have been the genuine flop we all thought Ant-man would become because DC would have failed to adapt it properly.

I'm not surprised it's getting panned by critics.  I still can't wait to see it, so I can form my own opinion.  Man of Steel was a bad movie.  It's insanely overrated, and was a terrible starting point.  Honestly, I think WB should just drop Supes for a while, let Batfleck have a few films, and just explore other characters.  Like, try making a Legion of Superheroes movies (with a young Supes, perhaps?) that's a total sci-fi comedy like GotG was.

Luckily they already have Suicide Squad w/ Joker and Batman in it, and Wonder Woman is almost done as well I believe.

They should probably get a new director for JL and and hurry the expansion w/ The Flash and Aquaman movies.
Then get a solo Batman movie out before they think about another Superman movie.

And maybe hire a writer and director duo that understands that Clark Kent and Super are two characters.  Yeah, they're the same person, but they have to have distinct personalities because that's how his disguise works.

Did you guys see the Deleted Scene WB/DC released for BvS earlier today?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-MUzvASr8s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-MUzvASr8s)

It takes someone w/ indepth knowledge of DC to even guess what this is all about, but it's a good thing that all the places that link it, explain it to the best of their speculations, otherwise I would have continued to scratch my head as to what is even happening.

All I'm left doing now is wondering why DC is hyping the directors cut w/ deleted scenes not found in the theatrical cut of the movie (that just came out 4 days ago), by using more out of context scenes w/ absolutely NO explanation or reason to them as if that's is supposed to mean something to someone other than a die-hard DC fan that can even speculate as to the who, what, why, how and the when of this scene.

Rogue One will be the first chance that Disney can show they really know what they are doing with Star Wars.  Episode 7 was always going to be safe and by the books.

However, I can't believe they are going for another strong female lead.  It is all the rage right now, focusing on female leads.  It worked for episode 7...I am curious if it will work here.

Get a few strong leading ladies, and then BAM, Marvel's "SUPERWOMAN" enters the MCU, with a built up women of Disney audience, to watch her do what the men couldn't.

I'm pretty convinced Marvel stealth cast Elizabeth Debicki as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 despite James Gunn insisting Captain Marvel isn't in the movie. It's the only upcoming movie in which she can reasonably be introduced before Infinity War Part I and that whole Kree connection makes sense. I suppose Marvel could introduce Captain Marvel in Infinity War Part I then continue her story in the solo movie, but I really just want to see Captain Marvel sooner rather than later. I'd be very pleased with casting Elizabeth Debicki in the Marvel role and movie I'm most looking forward to. If Rogue can't have her powers in the X-Men universe because Fox doesn't have the rights to Carol Danvers, I want to see Carol Danvers go HAM in the MCU.

I can say with all honesty, that this looks much better than BvS, and I'm sure I will actually enjoy it.
I can only hope that Wonder Woman will preview with as much promise as SS does, after BvS failed to set a proper tone for the DCCU.

I didn't realize he was aonly contracted to do BvS, JL 1&2.
I remember them talking the solo Batman movie in the beginning, but never setting a date.

I always figured it would happen, and that Batfleck would just pop up in most of the other movies in the meantime.

I appreciate that Battfleck is directing a Bat Flick. Argo, The Town, and Gone Baby Gone were all good movies. Good Will Hunting is a classic. He's directing a Prohibition movie? He keeps making more money off me.

For spider-man...his origin can be handled in dialog. "Hey spider-man? How did you get your powers?" "I attended a science experiment, a weird spider bit me, I got sick for a day, and I woke up with spider powers"

On the other hand I always liked the idea of a super-verse where Captain America is created, and all the other superheros and villains are created in an effort to duplicate the experiment. Hulk-Captain America experiment gone wrong, Green Goblin - an attempt to improve that experiment(maybe somethign to do with skrulls?), spider-man same stuff(I always liked the idea that Spider-man only thought he got his powers from the spider...that actually he was genetically engineered from birth and his powers just coincidentally happened after he got bit, his only powers that are spider-like is that he can stick to walls and the spider sense, everything else is typical superhero powers)

I say WhyTF not. if The Smurfs could make money doing it, Garfield can make money doing it, and Alvin & the Chipmunks can make money doing it, then Pokemon will make a killing doing it, as all of those movies were based on characters that were more relevant to the childhood of the parents taking the kids, than to the kids themselves.

They should go the epic Harry Potter series route though with an overarching story spread across 3 movies that leads to the big battle at the grand tournament or whatever (never played pokemon).

But while I'm in here, here is a foreign movie that makes my Netflix streaming list w/o a doubt.

It's official!! With the release of Civil War, the MCU has crossed $10B WW in the theaters.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=avengers.htm (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=avengers.htm)

Civil War itself will cross $1B WW next week (currently at ~$950M WW).
(http://i.imgur.com/Vu3Q0Xo.gif)

and Disney as a whole just took the record for fastest to $1B in domestic gross from Universal w/ just 128 days in 2016 to get there. The movies that contributed most to that were Zootopia, Junglebook & Captain America: CW (Star Wars: TFA apparently counts for it's 2015 release).
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4184&p=.htm (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4184&p=.htm)

Current Grosses Dom / WW:
Civil War- $296M / $940M
Zootopia - $332M / $970M
The Jungle Book - $312M / $828M

and all 3 are still in the Top 6 in theaters, and all 3 are projected to cross $1B dollars each.
Zootopia and The Jungle Book are far above expectations, with Zootopia having some amazing legs consistently seeing a rise in the charts after a drop. New movies come, and then Zootopia sticks around long enough to watch them leave.

All 3 Movies are really good, and if you haven't seen them, you should.

No one wanted to take the lead on the DCverse Movie Thread huh?

well, Harley Quinn is getting "birds of prey" like spin-off...

WB has apparently created a DC Films division head up by a movie man and a comic Johns
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-v-superman-fallout-warner-895174
they will guide the DC Movieverse from here on out (gee... that sounds like a good idea, wonder why they didn't do that sooner!?) and it will be interesting to see how they attempt to make this all cohesive and fun to watch with a large bit of damage done only taking over after the 1st 4 movies have practically all been filmed.

and Suicide Squad underwent "major new photography" to fix it's 3rd act... and it was apparently not to "add humor" as was previously rumored. It was of course said before that it underwent "minor reshoots" (not to add humor), but major new photography sounds like they may have added alot more than just humor.

I want to punch MacGyver in the face. CSI sidekick was better. Does this have the blessing of Richard Dean Anderson?

Years ago, my cousin, (who is a makeup artist in Hollywood) got asked out by Richard Dean Anderson at a party. She turned him down.

I just googled him, and he looks like Mike Ditka now.

To the people who saw Dory, what'd you think of the Moana trailer?  I liked it.  It was a lot of just The Rock talking, and trying to hide his voice, but it made me excited for the film.  My favorite part was when he did the People's Eyebrow.

Netflix just greenlit a new 10 episode Lost in Space show.

I'm excited and worried.

I am actually a fan of the old series, and have seen the failed reboots that fail to understand the show.  The old show is closer to Last Man on Earth in Space than anything else.

I want it to be colorful and weird. I actually had seriously given it some thought how awesome a new Lost in Space could be if they did it right. If I were doing it, it would be retro futuristic. It would kind of look like a show made in the 60s, but it would be the refined clean look they could never achieve back then. What art looked like back then. Characterization is important. My pick to play Dr. Smith would be Topher Grace. He is really good at playing evil assholes. My picks are Greg Dillahunt or Josh Duhemel for Dr. Robinson. Casting for Will Robinson would have to be a new kid, and I don't care about the rest of the cast.

All those DC trailer look good to me. 

I like the apparent lighter tone in Justice League and I think the Flash and Cyborg costumes are cool.  Cyborg was different to what I was expecting but I do like the result. 

Wonder Woman trailer looks great.  Gal looks to be portraying the character well, but I still think she's too slim.  It bothers me how they seem to have really buff, burly men alongside a lingerie model shaped woman in a a similar role. But hey let's be serious, if that ends up being my biggest complaint I'll be more than happy with the movie.  But shes certainly has the perfect face for it, the accent works and she's giving a very powerful performance.

I don't really care about Suicide Squad at all to be honest.  I never did.  I'll still see it because I feel obligated to watch superhero stuff, but if it got announced as cancelled tomorrow I wouldn't give the slightest damn.  Hopefully it'll be a fun romp though.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 24, 2016, 08:12:00 PM
I thought WW looked ok, much better than initial trailer impressions from BvS. Not super excited, but interested still. I think Gal looks much better now that she did when originally cast, and the action looks pretty solid, so I'm sure I'll check this out. - sold w/ reservations

Justice League.... still wait and see. Tone may be lighter, but it's still has the same grim dark appearance... but atleast there is actual humor so maybe it won't be a chore to watch the "theatrical cut" of this Snyderverse movie. It certainly looked more interesting than initial impressions from the BvS trailers, so that's good. re-building interest in an unashamedly Marvel-man means that they appear to be doing something right. - waiting for more footage, but I know I'll likely be there opening weekend.

The 1st half of this SS trailer almost lost me, much like the original SS trailer. but then the 2nd half got interesting again. Of course I'm citing all of this off of memory as I haven't watched these trailers since the moment before I posted each of them. - sold


Now Legion I thought looked pretty cool. Kinda reminded me of Fringe in some ways, but with mutants. I'll definitely check out the pilot. I really hope Marvel got something favorable out of this collaboration with Fox... but I hope it's also not dependent on the success of the 2 TV projects they were making. - sold

Kong: Skull Island also looks like a fun monster movie. and just knowing that this Kong is set to face off against that Godzilla from the previous movie in the next movie just has me interested in watching it just because... oh and Samuel L Jackson is in it, so that's always an easy way to take sometime I'm slightly interested in and push it over the line. - sold

LEGO Batman... not so sold on that one. I loved the LEGO movie, but I think Will Arnett has just practically bombed in everything he's been in (besides BoJack on Netflix  which I have yet to actually watch) outside of Arrested Development, and this isn't done by the same people as The LEGO Movie, so I need to further sold on it... but if my daughter wants to watch it, then that means I will likely be there opening night/weekend :/ - but at this moment. not sold.

Here is a thought I heard about Superman, but actually it makes more sense for Wonder Woman.

If you have Superpowers and your strength does not necessarily come from training, then you don't need burly muscles.

So, they said, they really don't need a super muscular Superman, because his power comes from absorbing the energy from the sun.

Now take that to Wonder Woman, Zeus and the Amazon Queen sculpt Diana out of clay.  We know Zeus is a womanizer, he is probably going to craft the most beautiful woman he could.  Her power does come from training, but it also comes from the gods.  She is not just a mere mortal.  So I can see her frame being explained that way.

It also helps contrast the Man's World Vs. Woman's World theme of Wonder Woman. 

Last thought, they were smart to make this a period piece.  Sexism now a days is less obvious, but also putting it during World War 1 makes it less about just sexism and more about comparing the two worlds.  It will be interesting to see what happens.

It's basically what I was thinking too, that's why Gal's current size doesn't bother me, but her hire weight was probably barely able to lift an actual sword. she was Soooper Thin.

I liked the Lego Batman trailer.  I dunno, something about it just seemed right up my alley, humor wise.

The Wonder Woman trailer was only so-so to me.  I'm more sold on the fact that her outfit has color in it.

The Justice League trailer gives me some hope.  I'll have to do some getting over of the "no one has secret identities anymore" thing most superhero movies are doing, but the Snyder films handled that really poorly already.

Bite your tongue, Shyguy! It was brilliant! I loved every minute of it.


Really felt like a perfect blend of campy tongue-in-cheek humor that was true to the old Tick shows while also broadening the scope in a way that is relevant to more modenr superhero movies. I've watched it twice, once alone and again with my wife. She thought it was hilarious.


I was disappointed that Patrick Warburton was not reprising his role as The Tick, but it looks like he was a producer in this show. The new Tick actor is also a great fit for the role so I have a lot of high hopes for where this show can go.

Yeah right, nobody remembered the poor man until he died. I loved his early works but even I thought he had to be dead already, his death was just a shock because people were like "oh **** he was still alive?"

It's sad how he died but even the old timers who "remember" him likely forgot him he was out of the spotlight for so long.

Sorry just my observations.

Finally watched the Logan trailer. Way more excited for this than I thought I would be. Especially happy to see Patrick Stewart return. I like that it appears to just be the two of them instead of it being a cluster **** of different talent in an ensemble film. Makes it feel much more intimate and personal.


I do still need to see that last two Wolverine movies as I have not seen one since Origins. Might marathon them all before seeing it to catch up (yes, I know they aren't directly tied to each other, just need an excuse to watch them all).

It's no different than what they do in the comic books though. I am glad the movie adaptations are doing what worked in the comics, forgetting minute continuity crap that inhibits the story and just giving themselves the freedom to make each movie it's own thing. I like how you can jump into any X-Men movie and it has a story you can watch. The other Avengers stuff if you miss one movie you feel like you missed an entire season of a TV show and don't know what the hell is going on.

Not absolutely, they seem to have toned down the messaging to make it a bit more approachable.

The original movie's monologues are pretty heavy handed. They would have needed true master actor to pull off something like that off and they don't have one. As much as I like Jo, she can't do it, it is currently beyond her.

A lot of those action scenes are shot for shot from the 1995 movie. It also melds scenes from different continuities. The geisha kidnapping people is from GITS:Stand Alone Complex. The drop off the building is in every continuity. Batou looks like he is busting up a Yakuza office is from GITS 2.

It might be a Dredd level movie.

A lot of those action scenes are shot for shot from the 1995 movie. It also melds scenes from different continuities. The geisha kidnapping people is from GITS:Stand Alone Complex. The drop off the building is in every continuity. Batou looks like he is busting up a Yakuza office is from GITS 2.

It might be a Dredd level movie.

Monologues are a staple of Japanese Manga and Anime to quickly explain the complex story and/or deeper themes but they are almost ever done well.  Even in Ghost in the Shell which I love.  It was unnecessary and slowed down the story. 

I know many people were hoping for this movie to be rated R, but I hope it is PG-13.  I know that part of the nudity and violence plays to the themes that these are just robotic bodies, but I think having the bodies be void of sexual organs actually plays off that idea better.

They were already void of sexual organs in the originals and they are following it here so that isn't remotely a concern. Being "nude" was less sexual than when the Major is wearing her "Battle Teddy" in SAC.

What I am interested in is whether they go for the ultra violence that the shows/movies had on occasion where they gib someone. They were never scared of showing blood whether it was splattered or pooling under a fresh corpse/cyborg. This was one of the things I really liked about Dredd was the thought of sanitising it never crossed their mind.

Why exactly do you want PG-13? It has repeatedly diminished violence level seen which remove the consequences of people's actions. I hope they pull a Deadpool/Dredd and not give a **** about the demographics of PG-13 as going R was what made it great.

Reducing the violence level does not in fact remove consequences.  That is a foolish argument.  If the story has put enough time to make you value and care about a character, then if that character dies or is injured you care. 

You can do violence without it becoming too graphic.  take the Scene from the Anime where she rips her arms out trying to open the tank.  Since she is a robot if you don't have blood showing you can probably do that scene carefully editing it for PG-13, and even showing the effects of her pushing herself beyond her limits and her body.  That is one of the most important scenes in the movie, showing that the Major understood that she was more than her body...and  yet being a machine she does not have the same limits of a person.  It showed her detachment from the world as well. 

I personally, don't like to see excessive violence and I think it tends to lazy editing and storytelling.  It is a personal preference but one I try to hold true to.

It most certainly remove or diminish the consequences. PG-13: Person gets shot, he falls over, there is no hint of damage, there isn't a "Oh **** he's dead" moment, he's just some dude and maybe he will get up later or something.

You want your audience to go "Woah that's a bit much" which forces them to acknowledge the consequence of what has happened. It makes the you consider maybe there were some other solution to the conflict. There is a scene in the first movie where Togusa complains about the method used and the mess they made, mirroring the audience's reaction.

The tank scene didn't need blood at that point in time, they selectively excluded it. In this case blood would have detracted from showing how much of a robot she is. It also made the following scene more shocking as ultra violence shown throughout the movie as being absolutely "You are not coming back from this" level.

I am guessing your threshold for viewing fictional violence is much lower than mine. I am more willing to see it being used to it's full effect rather than shy away.

Violence is another tool to use for story telling. It is no more lazy than any other tool and open to misuse like everything else. Reducing the level of violence wouldn't be true to the source material anyway and was absolutely pivotal for a movie like Dredd. Just maybe this isn't a movie for you.

Looking at the trailer I think there will be an R as they are showing blood sprays even though they are white. They show Aramaki straight up finishes a guy off and the actor who plays him is famously in really violent movies. The Matrix got rated R and if the level of violence seen in the trailer holds up it would be an R. If they re going to get an R anyway you might as well use it to full effect. The rating board doesn't look kindly to lesbians so that is another R flag.

Besides, the R market is really under-served for quite a while only to be punctuated with films like District 9, Deadpool, John Wick, Hardcore Henry, Kingsmen and Dredd. There just aren't that many films of that type. Is this a movie that should not be PG-13.

PG-13 is an albatross that needs to be done away with. It makes cartoons out of violence and other mature content. It induces a self censorship effect. I ruins films that should have went for a higher rating.

I agree with everything you said Oohboy. I had a similar discussion with Spak-Spang had a about Luke Cage. I think you said it much better than I did. When people sanitize violence in movies it can hamper their artistic integrity. Not everyone wants to do the James Bond or Star Wars style. Sometimes the level of violence can be integral to the storytelling. This is an adult oriented story, changing it to a pg-13 is aiming the content for kids.

here is a film analysis of Saving Private Ryan, a movie that as the movie progresses becomes less violent.

also, if you've ever seen Fury. I don't think any movie makes a point about the horrors of war than having to clean the gibs of your predecessors face off of the inside of a tank.

So who remembers all the Live Remakes Disney has confirmed so far?

Beauty and the Beast is coming soon.
Christopher Robin (Winnie the Pooh) mentioned above
Mulan I believe was confirmed as well
I remember reading something about The Lion King
I think I even read something about a script for Dumbo too....

We've already had Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty), Cinderella, and Jungle Book.
technically we've already had Peter Pan in Hook, and 101 Dalmations too.
Oh, and we just had Pete's Dragon, which I still have yet to see.

I think it would have been awesome to get an Aladdin w/ Robin Williams voicing the Genie (RIP).
I still think Aladdin could be a really fun one.

The Little Mermaid would be quite the challenge. They should hurry that one up and release it the week after Aquaman comes out, just for the LOL's.

I'm sure Tarzan is on hold for a while (thanks WB.... although I haven't seen their effort yet, it's sitting in front of my TV waiting for the day of it's viewing)

Pocahontas..... probably not gonna happen?

Hercules could be lots of fun as well. very clash of the titans... I'd watch it.

so what does that leave out?
Snow White? Call it The Seven Dwarves and marketing them as main characters sells the rest.
Pinocchio... it's been done (not by Disney), but I'm sure no one either watched it or remembers it.
Bambi.... if Jungle Book worked, and The Lion King also nails it... I guess Bambi might work too.
Hunchback of Notre Dame. I have nothing on this one. call it Esmeralda, and go from there?

Post by: Spak-Spang on November 27, 2016, 06:48:46 PM
Aladdin could still be made with Robin Williams voice.  The Genie is going to be CGI...or should, and they could easily just use the lines we already have for Genie already recorded.  Sure that would mean you have to be careful writing the script...because the Genie's lines won't change...but is that really a problem?

Disney was working on a version of Snow White in 2012 called Order of the Seven. It was slated to release shortly after those other recent Snow White movies did (Snow White and the Huntsman, Mirror Mirror) but production delays and other financial issues led to it being cancelled. A pity because it looked to be the best of the three with an Asian Kung-Fu theme.

Purportedly there are two different Snow Whites being prepared by Disney now. A classic retelling like Beauty and the Beast, and a "sidequel" called Rose Red starring Snow White's sister which has her going on a quest with Grumpy the dwarf to find a cure to Snow White's curse.

Depends on how it is done. In the right hands it could be good. I doubt they would do both though because the films would be competing against each other (unless they decide to stagger them and treat Rose Red as a "sequel" of sorts.

If Beauty $ the Beast knocks it out of the park, you can bet a musical retelling of Snow White will get the priority over Rose Red.

Just finished Westworld and this is very much an awesome and worthwhile series to check out. It is also less graphic than Game of Thrones, though it still has it's fair share of violence and nudity. I notice a lot of the kill shots are cut away. It may be a style choice, or even due to the nature of the show trying to surprise you and leave you in suspense. My favorite twist was definitely the one involving the "Man in Black" as they call him. Though all of the twists were delightful and surprising.


Ending has me wondering where they go from here, leaves you wondering, but not is a Walking Dead cliff-hanger sort of way.


1) Will the hosts rebel and basically claim themselves as a nation/state/free people (and are all of the humans in that gathering dead or captured)? And because of this, I got to ask where the facility is located? On an island? In a big city? On a moon or different planet? Something even more grand than that?


2) And What of SamuraiWorld? Is it active and fully operational (and if so, are there even more worlds than these)? Or is it still in the testing/development phases? If there are multiple worlds, could we see the hosts from each world become independent factions/nations that fight among themselves? Who runs this world? Are there separate leaders for each world? If so, were Ford and Arnold involved? Or could there be another creator? There was a third person in that old photo Ford showed Bernard. Was that the person now over SamuraiWorld?


3) What happened to William's brother-in-law? And does William survive that final scenario?


4)  I don't think that Ford is necessarily dead. He could have built himself a host. There WAS a body baing made in Ford's secret lad when Bernard was revealed to be a host.


5) Speaking of #4, if Bernard was aware of the secret transmission spot, why did he kill his agent out there? It was implied that Ford gave the order, but why? I'm not convinced it was an order from Ford. something else could have been at play there.

...Going to start a Westworld spoiler thread (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=51067.new#new) because there is a lot to talk about.

Post by: oohhboy on December 24, 2016, 12:31:34 AM
WW They have super engineering underneath WW so it is more than likely they can create any environment they want. Ford when he had at the villa showed an monstrously large machine grinding entire geological feature in seconds. So it doesn't really matter where it is.

Likely a test world over seen by Ford as he repeatedly states he and Arnold created everything. Far East World is a natural extension of what as been created.

Driven out of the company or given a pointless window job for getting ousted but William.

More than possible. Hopkins might be a Sean Been stunt casting.

Arnold was ordered to do so that she can draw out the head of Q&A plus she wasn't a threat like Teresa was as he needed to buy a little more time. In the last episode the command centre got locked down and it was chaos with teams not working together. Elsie isn't dead from a tiny spoiler. She doesn't have a beef with the Hosts.

Get Out also has an 83 on Metacritic which is enough for "Universal Acclaim".

This one was on my "maybe" list, but it's definitely been upgraded.


Speaking of getting upgraded from my "maybe" list, the new Power Rangers trailer in theatres is inspiring me to see the film.  I still hate the designs, but the movie looks like it'll be more fun than the generic Breakfast Club meets Chronicle ripoff that I was giving it credit for.  But that could be the nostalgia talking.

I'm thinking Spider-Man at #1.  I think the original trilogy had some records back in the day, and the fan base should be pretty riled up.

I reluctantly picked Justice League for #2 as I think the DC brands still carry some cache.  Plus, if WW is reviewed well, that might give JL enough buzz.  I think the movie being terrible will only hurt it but so much.  BvS was bad, but a good film buffering between the trash piles might make people forget that JL will be more like BvS.

Post by: Khushrenada on March 09, 2017, 01:24:05 AM
I went with Guardians 2 as the number one pick. As I recall, when the first movie was out, it was doing really well at the Box Office. BnM kept posting all time about its haul. Plus, with it's select soundtrack, it got people talking a lot about the film and created more buzz for it. It seems to have made a pretty good impression with a majority of people who've seen it than some of the other film properties so I think a lot of people are going to be want to check out this sequel.

I went with Spiderman as number 2. Even The Amazing Spiderman movies did big box office business despite people not liking them so having Spiderman in the MCU should draw in more people who may have skipped the Garfield affairs but releasing in the crowded summer time could cut into its box office a bit with another Planet of the Apes and Nolan's Dunkirk as a couple big films releasing close to it whereas Guardians will have relatively weaker competition to face off against much like it did in the month of August when it was released a couple years ago.

Much still depends on the finished product and how well it is reviewed but going by the trailers, G2 looks like it will be able to match the effort of the first one again but Spiderman's trailers haven't really pumped me up or sold me on yet. But that's just my take.

Really, everything else on the poll is kind of wait and see for me. I admit I've got some interest in Wonder Woman but that's primarily because of its odd World War 1 setting and I'm curious about the Dr. Poison villain though I believe I heard she isn't the main villain. I'm more curious to see Ben Affleck's take on Justice League when it releases. His bummed out expressions from BvS are still classic and now he seems to be trying to get out of playing Batman anymore so maybe he is trying to distance himself from the DCU on the fear it could be damaging his career again. How much is he going to embrace the release of Justice League?
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 09, 2017, 02:12:48 AM
alright, here's my list the way I predict it going down

1. Guardian of the Galaxy 2
2. Spider-Man
3. Justice League
4. Thor: Ragnarok
(> $750M WW)
5. Logan
6. Wonder Woman
7. Power Rangers
(> $350M WW)
8. The Lego Batman Movie

I woudl say Spiderman and GotG2 are both going to crack $1B
and I really want to switch Thor and JL in places, but I just know all the DC die hards will show up, and WB will absolutely market the absolute **** out of the movie, so regardless of how good Thor may be (fingers crossed) I think JL just might edge it out, regardless of general opinion on quality.

Logan will do much better than most expected, and maybe be the highest grossing direct X-men property (that excludes Deadpool, which was kinda it's own thing in a parallel X-verse and did $783M WW)

I'm expecting WW to come in near the low $600's give or take $30M. It will be a very good take for a 1st solo, and I expect it to get middle of the road reviews (#1 rated DCEU movie so far).

and Power Rangers will do decent... maybe around $500/$550M WW which would actually be really good for this movie and guarantee a sequel for sure.

My guess are for WW only. Domestic would probably be little different, but much harder to predict.

I'm really hyped for King Kong Skull Island.

You know, I dismissed this movie when I first saw the title for it because I'm not really interested in seeing another King Kong movie but then the trailers surprised me with the tone and look of the film and it seemed like it might be pretty entertaining. Then I stumbled across something that I guess is old news but only found out about 2 days ago and that is the fact that Paramount (I think) or which ever studio is behind it is working towards a Movie Monster universe and the reason for the King Kong movie is a planned King Kong vs Godzilla film. First up is Skull Island then Godzilla 2 and then KKvG. Not sure how I feel about another movie franchise although besides King Kong and Godzilla the plan is to bring in other monsters like Mothra and Rodan and others of the Godzilla franchise. Just thought I'd share that in case others had been unaware of that information like I was.

Oooh! There are TWO monster universes then. that explains the discrepancies I've been noticing between the news stories I have read about each of them. It sounds a lot better to do that, though I do see the potential to get burned out from too many persistent movie universes running at the same time. I have my fill of those with Marvel, Star Wars, and Harry Potter.


Rumor has it Brendan Fraser has been cast for an unmentioned Universal movie. I'm kinda hoping he gets a cameo in the new Mummy, maybe makes an appearance to help out Cruise as an "old mummy/monster hunter" of sorts as a nod to the old Mummy trilogy.

Atomic Blonde - Charlize Theron gets to be "Joan Wick"


Unfortunately, I don't think the movies will ever be related...

It's more a "James Bitch" than "Joan Wick". Style elements wise it is an imitator but other than that it's a pretty much it's own sort of movie that apes Bond and those tropes than it copies Wick.

well, it wasn't just Head Shots, but it's done by one of the guys that did John Wick 1, so that's why I referenced that. But it would be cool if they were somehow connected.

Timone and Pumba should be
Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella.
I really wouldn't change them.

If I must be doing a recast I'd cast
Kevin Hart and Lavell Crawford.

Idris Elba would make a good Scar, but it would be a rehash from Jungle Book. Or perhaps the chief from Brooklyn 9-9.

For the Hyenas, I'm thinking Kevin Hart, Kenan Thompson, and Ron Funches.  I think the three of them could do well together to bring a distinctive voice to each character.  But Kevin Hart would be taking a smaller than normal role (for him).

Timon and Pumba are tougher for me.  It'd be easy to point to Key and Peele as an obvious comedic duo, but they don't have the voices for the characters.  However, they're both impressionists (well, Peele is, but Key does accents), but that doesn't mean they can sing.  I think Whoopi Goldberg has the range for Timon.  Rick Ross would be hilarious for Pumba.  Now that I think about it, T-Pain for Timon?

Samuel L Jackson for Rafiki though.

I know it would be only a nod to the hardcore fans of animation, but I think Jim Cummings should voice Scar, since he did such a great job filling in for Jeremy Irons in "Be Prepared".

Post by: ThePerm on April 01, 2017, 03:01:46 AM
I'd expect anyone doing these roles will have to make their own version of it. Key and Peele sounds good to me. Just be Key and Peele. An already established Duo would be good.

I mean technically Timon and Pumba are the types that teach you how to be unproductive burnouts but at the same time very Zen relaxed

How bout Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg?

Also, why would every voice actor have to be live action actors? Plenty of great voice actors who are mainly off screen.

Not really new but Better Call Saul Season 3 starts tonight and I'm excited to be getting new episodes of it again. It's been a long wait but I think this is one of the best series being made these days with the high quality of writing, acting and production that Breaking Bad had.

Speaking of Breaking Bad, Season 3 of Better Call Saul means that a certain past character from that show will now be featured in the series. See if you can guess who it is from the picture below and it isn't Mike or Saul I'm referring to:

(http://i.onionstatic.com/avclub/6278/35/16x9/1200.jpg)

I'm not sure how I feel about the return of Mr. Fring. The show has had a bit of odd dichotomy in that seems to be divided a bit between Saul/Jimmy and Mike who are operating in their own spaces. Although they've crossed paths a couple times, they've drifted more apart as the series has progressed and I've ended up like the Saul parts more as the show becomes an interesting legal/family/moral drama with stakes that feel just as important, if not more, than the Mike vs the underwold portion. However, the Mike stuff can often provide some of the more visceral and dangerous moments. It would seem we've come to the point in the story to finally start tying these two worlds closely together and I'm excited to see how it unfolds over the next 10 weeks.

Last year was great with Better Call Saul and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend both airing episodes on Monday nights making for my favorite night of television for awhile but that's not the case this year since Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was moved to Friday and played out its season early. But even with just BCS airing, Monday is back to being my favorite night of the week. PUMPED!!!

Thor: Ragnarok = Disney's most watched trailer in a 24 hour period
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/thor-ragnarok-trailer-is-marvel-disneys-watched-ever-24-hours-992978

Quote
Marvel's promise of a Thor vs. Hulk battle seems to have re-energized the Thor movie franchise.

The trailer for Thor: Ragnarok, which was unleashed Monday by Disney, the parent company of Marvel, has garnered more than 136 million views in only 24 hours.

It becomes the not only the most viewed Marvel trailer ever, but also the studio's most viewed trailer ever across all its brands, which includes Disney's live-action and animation divisions, Pixar, Star Wars, as well as Marvel.

The Beauty and the Beast trailer was the previous 24-hour record-holder for Disney with 127.6 million views. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was viewed 112 million times in that time frame. Captain America: Civil War held the previous Marvel record with 94 million views.

The trailer was met with tremendous enthusiasm, with it channeling a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe with both music and sci-fi fantasy worlds as it set up a scenario where Thor, played by a returning Chris Hemsworth, is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer. It offered glimpses of Hela, the movie's powerful new villain played by Cate Blanchett. And it closed with a killer line as Thor, forced to fight in a gladiatorial arena, sees his Avengers comrade Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and bellows, "He's a friend from work." It's a line he quickly rues saying.

The Ragnarok trailer doesn't hold the most viewed overall record. The trailer for New Line’s adaptation of Stephen King’s It was viewed 197 million times in the 24 hours after its March 29 release, while Fate of the Furious was eyeballed 139 million times.

Taika Waititi, the New Zealand filmmaker behind the acclaimed indies Hunt for the Wilderpeople and What We Do in the Shadows, is in the director's seat for Ragnarok.

The movie will be released in the U.S. on Nov. 3.

It is stiff competition, that is for sure. A lot of great movies already out and even more soon to come. Star Wars will be competitive, but I don't think it will be able to cut it, as the hype of being the "first in a long time" advantage that came for Episodes 1 & 7. Also, the end-of year release for SW may hurt its sales chances for 2017.


Spider-Man has always been a super popular property, so coupling that with the fandom of the MCU will also give it a good running.


Thor and JL will duke out third probably, but I think Thor will win out unless JL can knock it out of the park.

speaking of which...

http://deadline.com/2017/04/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2-projected-box-office-opening-1202068751/
Guardians early tracking for $150M opening weekend
Quote
Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hit the tracking boards this morning and came on quite hot according to non-Disney sources. Rival estimates believe that the movie has the potential to feasibly open to $150M at the domestic B.O., and if the James Gunn-directed sequel gets to Captain America: Civil War proportions ($179.1M), that wouldn’t be a surprise.

Related'Beauty And The Beast' Roars Past $1B At Worldwide Box Office
Total awareness for GOTG Vol. 2 is at a massive 88%, definite interest is at 63% and firsts choice at 28%. Of course, it’s a no brainer that males will show up. Females are strong, but older females are the least strong among the four quads.

Now, we always have to footnote projections three weeks out. Anything can happen to vary these figures up or down, and has been the case with titles that come on tracking quite strong, they’re a challenge for the industry to make laser-point predictions on. Why is that? Because statistically there’s a small sampling of films that opened north of $100M.

Disney/Marvel’s The Avengers still holds the all-time opening record for the first weekend in May with $207.4M followed by Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.2M), Captain America: Civil War ($179.1M), and Iron Man 3 ($174.1M).

BatB >$1B and looking at $1.5B, Guardians on it's way to $1B
Spidey is a likely candidate for $1B, and why not keep the train rolling and and get Thor across that line as well.

Just imagine what The Lion King is gonna make when that **** drops... and that's not even bringing up Disney's next BIG movie in Avengers 3 & 3ptII.

Is Disney gonna leave any air in the theater for WB?

Fox Announces dates for 3 (three!!) X-Men movies in 2018
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/x-men/three-x-men-films-set-for-next-year-as-new-mutants-deadpool-2-dark-phoenix-get-release-dates-a150545
Quote
In a surprise announcement just moments ago, the studio confirmed release dates for New Mutants, which will bow on April 13, 2018, followed by Deadpool 2 on June 1, 2018, and finally, ending the year with, the now-official X-Men: Dark Phoenix on November 2, 2018.

The trio of films now joins a calendar that already featured Black Panther on February 16, 2018, Avengers: Infinity War on May 4, 2018, Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6, 2018, Sony Pictures' Venom on October 5, 2018, and the Animated Spider-Man movie, which follows Miles Morales, on December 21, 2018, meaning we could quite possibly get to see a new Marvel movie in eight out of twelve months next year.

Marvel Superhero Slate for 2018 is looking like this:
Black Panther - 2/16/18 (MCU)
New Mutants - 4/14/18 (Fox)
Avengers: Infinity Way - 5/04/18 (MCU)
Deadpool 2 - 6/01/18 (Fox)
Ant-Man & The Wasp - 7/06/18 (MCU)
Venom - 10/05/18 (Sony)
X-Men: Dark Phoenix - 11/02/18 (Fox)
Ultimate Spider-Man - 12/21/18 (Fox) <animated>

Well, if DC wants in on this, January, March, August and September 2018 are all open....

I assume you aren't putting Deadpool in the same well as "X-men" movies.

because if you're not, then No, I could care less about X-men movies.
But I would love another Deadpool, and if that leads to an X-Factor movie, I would be ecstatic.

But I just want some quality Multiple Man and Strong Guy.

I'm thinking Spider-Man at #1.  I think the original trilogy had some records back in the day, and the fan base should be pretty riled up.

I reluctantly picked Justice League for #2 as I think the DC brands still carry some cache.  Plus, if WW is reviewed well, that might give JL enough buzz.  I think the movie being terrible will only hurt it but so much.  BvS was bad, but a good film buffering between the trash piles might make people forget that JL will be more like BvS.

With Wonder Woman getting good reviews, I feel really good about my picks.

WW will do good, and from what I heard, it will deserve to do better than it likely will, but I seriously doubt it tops Guardians or Spider-man for the year.
I think it doing well, may actually give a small boost to JL, which will also surpass WW (even though WW might be the better movie.... we'll have to wait an see)

It's current standing from the estimates I've seen put it somewhere around $600M -$700M World Wide depending on dem legs ;)

GotG2 is at $818M+ already, but won't likely make it past $860M (assuming it's out in all territories)
Spider-man will do no less than $750M
and I'm sure even Thor 3 will break $700M

and for reference, since I'm sure no one here checks on WW gross BO.
Logan = $612M
Lego Batman = $310M
Power Ranger = $140M

So Wonder Woman looks to hit the Top 5 for the year and possibly even the Top 4 if it way over performs due to extremely long legs. But that also depends on how JL and Thor3 both perform.

I think GotG2 set the bar, and SM is likely to meet and/or surpass it.

Oh, I didn't pick WW in my top 2.  I picked Spider-Man and JL.  My JL pick was based on WW washing away some of the negative buzz around the DCEU, which it looks like it did.  People might come out for Gal Gadot more than anything.

I'm not sure how much better he can make it.  Sure, editing and reshoots can have a big impact, but the script and vast bulk of the filming and style will have Snyder's stink all over it.

I feel bad for him and his family, but I'm also kinda glad the movie has a chance at quality.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Spider-Man World Wide Premiere was tonight.
*SPOILERS* are everywhere, and they are legit.

"pReviews"are all EXTREMELY positive, and to summarize the majority of them:
Best Live Action Spider-Man EVAR!!1!! Holland is Peter Parker AND Spider-Man!!
Better than Spider-Man 2... the Spidey movie you've been waiting your whole life to see!!
Not only the best Spider-Man movie, but the best MCU movie to date!
This is not your Amazing Spider-Man, this is your Spectacular Spider-Man!!!
emoji emoji exclamation point x5... I just webbed myself, emoji emoji #basedFiege

I think that summed up the majority of the twitter previews I saw.
so i already bought 2 tix for me and my daughter for next weeks premiere in IMAX reserved seating so I don't got to get there too early and stand in line. (yes I splurged... already bought theater candy for her too <spoiling my baby for her first Spider-Man movie>).

I wasn't sold on the trailers, but after some of the non-movie scene marketing (NBA and Audi commercials) I've really been sold on the character.
and seeing how much Tom Holland has embraced and wishes to LIVE the role, I'm excited for him.

Also seeing how hard Sony is trying to creep on that MCU positioning by placing "Venom" and "Black & Silver" in the Marvel Comic Universe (not to be confused with the Marvel Cinematic Universe) and making statements like "Spider-Man isn't in the Venom movie...."yet"" followed up by roll-eyes emoji faces from Kevin Fiege is just too crazy. Sony is literally edging themselves Marvels pant leg right now, because they can't just sit back and let the good vibes consume them.


edit: whoops... I meant to post this in the MCU thread... oh well.
and to verify how good pReviews for Homecoming are....


(http://i.imgur.com/tZwvKfY.png)


this is from a DC Superfan.


and there was another gushing review from a critic that used to think Marvel was paying off the critics to positively review their movies. I'm guessing she either came around after comparing to early DC efforts (outside of WW) or she finally got her check in the mail too.


get HYPED people. this may be the one we've been waiting for.

looks like a bag of burning ****.... seriously, this looked terrible. If you thought Iron Fist was Marvel's first mis-step, well... this looks like it tripped and knocked it's front teeth out. (made by same person.... who was also in charge of last 3 seasons of Dexter)
I can't believe they think this will not only look good on IMAX screens, but that people will come out in droves to see it in theaters.

The camera is showing how absolutely **** the sets are.

If anybody was to use an iMax camera for a TV episode it would be HBO and even they are smart enough for it not to do it.

These days if you want a film look you are better off faking it unless you are crazy talented like Tarantino who went 70mm for what was essentially a play.

Don't they put Game of Thrones episodes in IMAX? Or is that just regular theatres?

I think that is just local theaters doing special presentations. With how long they are getting, it might be worth going to see them in theaters every week when they air.

IMAX had a deal with HBO for Game of Thrones, which is what led to this Inhumans deal.
I believe it was mentioned in the article for Inhumans theater appearance that IMAX was trying to spread it's brand and use of cameras over to the TV side of things or something like that.

Guys, Disney is on the WARPATH again for Box Office Domination.
do you remember the movie map from 1-2 years ago?

I'm not sure they are letting anyone come up for air without fighting for it with everything they got.

(http://i.imgur.com/uwbfWlG.jpg)

But I did notice that the 3rd Marvel movie is missing from 2019
... well not really missing, I guess, since technically it's a Sony movie.
But Spider-Man: Junior Prom is also in 2019

It was announced over the weekend that Michael Emerson (Lost, Person of Interest) will be in Arrow season 6.

Given his particular talent to out-act everyone else on the cast it took Amy Acker to challenge him in the latter half of POI, this is going to be an interesting season.

But the last half of 2019!!! OMG, have mercy Disney. JFC
Avengers 4 thru Mulan is just total B.O. Suffication.

The middle of 2018 Avengers 3 through Wreck It Ralph 2, the other studios in a choke hold

I mean the other studios are gonna dogpile on the smaller movies just because it's the only place to get some breathing room from the juggernaught franchises of MCU, Star Wars, Pixar, Disney Live Remake.

Coco, A Wrinkle in Time, The Nutcracker, Mary Poppins and "Untitled DisneyToon" are going to be smothered.
The Incredibles 2, Wreck It Ralph, Dumbo and Mulan will be challenged
Everything else will likely be steered clear from.

A Wrinkle in Time has some good buzz.  And I think it really depends on what the untitled DisneyToon is.  If it's a new thing or Oswald the Rabbit, then it'll get smothered.  Disney certainly isn't leaving a lot of room for competitors.  They might box out some cheaper (hopefully crappier) films altogether.

I don't see any dates on that Disney World Domination Map, but based on the positioning of their films it looks like Wonder Woman 2 is aimed at challenging Mulan in mid December 2019.

and B.O. Suffocation probably should have been B.O. Strangulation, as Disney got this **** in a choke hold right now.

Yeah, I think you can use the positioning to ball park the dates.  We know BP is February, and it's at the front.

However, I think the positioning on 2019 is a bit weird.  I think each of the Star Wars films has had a May target date with a December actual.  But Lion King, Frozen 2, and Mulan are all in that holiday area.  Could be crowded unless some things get moved around.  But that also kind of means that everything to the left of Episode IX is due before May 2019. 0_o

No, because Avengers 4 will will be that 1st weekend in May 2019. That is a given.
I would guess that Captain Marvel will be Feb 2019
I would guess that Star Wars is aiming for a July 2019 date assuming it doesn't get moved to Xmas.
Putting the final 3 movies at Oct, Nov, Dec.
 meaning the breathing room Disney is giving is in the dead zone of Aug & Sept.

Post by: nickmitch on July 27, 2017, 11:35:03 AM
The last date given for Episode IX was May 24th.  If that's sticking, then you still have 6 movies in the first 5 months of 2019.

But we could probably speculate that IX will be moved to December, so Disney would likely have movies for all but three months out of the year.  Possibly skipping the summer months?

So Avengers 4 May 3rd, 2019
And Star Wars May 24th, 2019

That works Disney, but essentially shuts everyone else out.

I'm sure someone (DC) will jump on the May 24th date after Disney moves Star Wars to December.

Probably safe, but there is a risk of audiences having superhero burnout by then.  You'd get two from Disney, w/e Fox is doing, so having two big movies in one month might feel like a lot.

 here are the world wide numbers (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2017&p=.htm).  And the rankings from the poll:

1) Guardians Volume 2
2) Wonder Woman

4) Logan
5) Lego Batman
6) Power Rangers

Of note: Spider-Man (#5*) and Wonder Woman (#10*) are still in theatres. (*Last weekend ranks.)

I know this sounds wrong, but Wonder Woman has some incredible legs.

Domestically, she slayed the competition. I'm not sure if SM will catch up, regardless of how good a movie that is as well.
I still haven't seen it, but WW had to be the summer surprise. I know most of us thought it would do well, but no where near this well.
Just like we all knew Spider-Man would do good, but honestly thought it would do better than it is right now.

I wonder if JL gets the WW boost, or will Thor: Rags reign on that parade?
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on August 04, 2017, 12:20:12 PM
Thor is (ironically) not the sexiest franchise, but looks like it can be the best one this year.  I can see it stealing some thunder from JL, but JL is definitely going to get a boost from WW being so popular.  DC's brand was likely going to suffer from BvS, and they needed a hit.

I think SM not doing as well is probably just franchise fatigue from this being a second reboot in so short a time.  Which is a shame because this s the one that finally did it right.

Just want to add to this, that Spider-Man is not out yet in China nor Japan.
I think it doesn't hit China till at least September.
I'm pretty sure that between the 2, they are good for at least $100M-$120M which would put it right about where WW is at right now. so this positioning between WW and SM isn't exactly set in stone yet.

Well guys... looks like Inhumans is officially a train wreck.
http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/inhumans-tca-1202517058/ (http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/inhumans-tca-1202517058/)

http://uproxx.com/hitfix/inhumans-panel-tca-batman-v-superman-sad-affleck/ (http://uproxx.com/hitfix/inhumans-panel-tca-batman-v-superman-sad-affleck/)

Loeb is trying hard to deflect the disappointment of the first episode, but no one is buying it.
I don't want it to be bad... but it looked pretty bad from the first trailer.
I almost want it to fail horribly, but only if that is what it takes to boot not only the show runner, but maybe get Marvel TV under the Marvel Studios moniker ran by Feige so we can finally get back to #itsallconnected.


edit: I know this is supposed to debut in less than 60 days, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed, as this is a kinda big TV project for Marvel since it's partnered w/ IMAX and airing on ABC. On the off chance that it does get delayed, maybe it gets that "Agent Carter" mid-season AoS break slot.


But as it stands right now, Inhumans is supposed to air, and then AoS will follow with minimal show breaks since it will start sometime in Nov. instead of in Sept.

It really does (look stupid).... I'm not sure why they didn't tap someone from AoS to run the show... or atleast coordinate with them,  since it is connected.

I saw a brief clip of C&D a while ago, and it kinda reminded me of some family channel teen drama. It didn't look bad, but they didn't show much for me to get in to. so I withhold judgement.

Gifted looks worth an watch of the 1st episode. Maybe not on premiere night, but whenever there is a lapse of shows in my watch schedule. Legion turned out pretty interesting, so that gives a little optimism towards Gifted that the trailer itself didn't exactly provide.

I wouldn't call it quite a crazy idea, but i pay £216/year (£18/month i think) for:

Unlimited movies a day
Unlimited IMAX (for a £2 extra charge per movie)
3D movies included after 12 months
No blackout dates
Live concerts and Q&A's get discounts
Advance screenings of certain movies ahead of release
10-25% off food and drink

Personally i say its a good deal, provided you make good use of it.

The Gifted is actually pretty competent i feel. It's got an interesting premise, set itself up well and just got on with it.

Naturally its a waste of Amy Acker's talents because you just know she can steal the show as in POI, but here she is definitely more subdued.
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: oohhboy on October 16, 2017, 10:13:20 AM
Amy is definitely getting wasted on a superhero show of this average calibre. She should be in Agents of Shield as they need people to steal the show again and again which has worked wonders.

I am also pretty done with super power in general especially X-Men style as they are 100% going to be defined by their powers not but who they are. Amy is going to steal gifted not only because she is that good but she would be interesting because she doesn't have powers.

Daisy is the character I dislike the most because of her power making her very one note and is not a substitute for character development.

Ada in the other hand is amazingly well written as is Radcliff which begs the question as to why Daisy is so bad. I think they just don't know what to do with her as her arc of events is done. You got powers and now you're muscle not that she used her brain much anyway.

Gifted definitely gives a much better impression than inhuman which I found pretty repulsive just from the trailer before I ROFL. I like watching train wreaks to a certain point ie; STD, but that looked liked a bunch of boring assholes with production values worse the Star Trek the Original Series. I don't mind it looking cheap if it serves a purpose ie; Orville where they are mimicking that old school feel while spending the budget on good people on all levels.

I won't watch Gifted, but competent is an apt description.

****, years not over yet, but Justice League's opening weekend is $96M (far below Thor's $122M)
We can wait to see how far Wonder Womans legs carry JL in the WW B.O., but something tells me that Marvel will have the Top 3 grosses WW this year.

Wonder Woman if we talking domestic

Domestic Top Top 3:
Wonder Woman - $412.5M
Guardians 2 - $389.8M
Spider-man - $334M
...
Thor 3 - $247.3M (and still counting)
Justice League - $96M (opening weekend)

World Wide Top 3:
Spider-man - $880M
Guardians 2 - $863.5M
Wonder Woman - $821.7M
...
Thor 3 - $738M (and still counting)
Justice League = $281.5M (opening weekend)

Chances are that Wonder Woman may fall out of the Top 3 WW once Thor's run is done.


p.s. DC's answer to Marvel's The Avengers has opened to less than Iron Man 1 which had a $98M open back in 2008

I apologize, but the Evans series is amazing. DC shoulda hired this guy to work on JL.

and seriously, for those that fell off seasons ago, S4 was one of the best MCU related products to date. I'd put AoS S4 in my Top5 MCU including movies. It was that good.

I am not sure how they are going to top AIDA even if her ending was far too predicable and as a result a real whimper. An amazing villain matched with excellent acting who stole the show. Radcliff was a tear jerker even of he was a naive jackass distracted by his own intellect.

I think we cam just about wrap this poll up, but here is an update for current standings

Domestic Top Top 3:
Wonder Woman - $412.5M
Guardians 2 - $389.8M
Spider-man - $334M
...
Thor 3 - $293.4M (and still counting)
Justice League - $200M (still counting)

World Wide Top 3:
Spider-man - $880M
Guardians 2 - $863.5M
Wonder Woman - $821.7M
...
Thor 3 - $819.5M (and still counting)
Justice League - $572M (still counting)


Thor 3 is likely to hit over $300M domestic and probably $840M WW
Justice League will likely be more compared to Thor The Dark World ($206M Dom / $644.5M WW) than getting anywhere near Ragnaok

Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse
starring Miles Morales

hasan interesting visual style. a mix of photorealistic and cellshading, and I'm not sure how close to done it is as is seems to be missing frames.... it's a little off putting, but overall looks good visually.

JL needs $35M to reach MoS's $668M WW
Domestically, it will be the lowest grossing DCEU file to date.
MoS previously was as $291M, JL is currently at $219M... there is no way it getting anywhere near MoS domestically.

Is anybody watching Happy!

a new show on Syfy about a deranged ex-cop (dude from L&O SVU) who now has an imaginary friend that annoys the **** out of him.

I know it sounds weird, and the show is a little off one, but damn, it's kinda funny and pretty damn interesting. Main character is a bad-ass drunk psycho killer vigilante, now with an invisible and annoying side-kick who is trying to put him on a mission.

Check it out. first 4 eps can be found somewhere.
I'm really liking it so far. No idea what night of the week it comes on though. I ran across it totally by accident, and somehow, my daughter new what the show was as well.... (p.s. It's not kid friendly).

This was probably my surprise out of nowhere favorite show last 2 years (came out in 2016)

Jean Claude Van Johnson (Amazon) - This is such a stupidly entertaining series. Jean Claude Van Damme playing himself whose day job as a (now retired) actor is just a front for being a secret agent?

The premise is stupid, it's incredibly meta and JCVD is totally onboard with mocking himself in as many forms as possible.

This is highly recommended.

Who's got suggestions?

Final Count for 2017
(poll updated w/ known Comic/Superhero movies for 2018 - voting open soon)

Domestic Top Top 3:
Wonder Woman - $412.5M
Guardians 2 - $389.8M
Spider-man - $334.2M
Thor 3 - $312.5M
...
Justice League - $227M

World Wide Top 3:
Spider-man - $880M
Guardians 2 - $863.7M
Thor: Ragnarok - $850.3
Wonder Woman - $821.8M
...
Justice League - $652.8M

JL = lowest grossing in all of DCEU for domestic and WW... less than MoS @ $291M / $668M
but it did beat Thor 2 :)
so it's not all bad.... if you take budget and expectations out of the picture.



edit:
Help me build a list of known movies for the poll for 2018


Black Panther
Avengers: Infinity War
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Deadpool 2
Dark Phoenix
New Mutants
Aquaman
Teen Titans Go! to the movies
The Incredibles 2
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
Venom


Is that everything? I feel like i forgot something...
How about that movie Alita: Battle Angel? is that comic based or anime?

That's what their advertising.... trailer drops tomorrow.

Also I need a mod to edit the poll to 3 options if that's possible.... There are more movie choices this year. But I'll post my Top 3 anyway.

1. Avengers: Infinity War (> $1.5B)
2: Black Panther (>$850M)
3: Deadpool 2 / Incredibles 2 (>$800)

not sure what to choose between the two at option 3
Not sure if DP2 will surpass the 1st ($783M)... or if the shock value has already worn off.
Also not sure if i2 will blow up, or settle in with the current crop of Pixar box office that could land it either in the mid $300M's or the mid $800M's, no where in between :P.
The original Incredible did $633M. With the major increase in interest in superhero movies, and nostalgia for more Incredibles.... this could come in right around where I suspect DP2 might land, which is somewhere in the $800M's

Then there's also the unknown factor of the Inifinity Bump and how that translates to Ant-Man and the Wasp.... that could also easily creep to #3 as well (assuming BP gets the love I suspect it will to take that #2 slot - comin' for that billy club!!!!)

So really that's my Top 5 movies, and why the bottom 3 might be interchangeable.
Aquaman might also come in just below 2 of those 3.... to land in 4th or 5th place.
That really depends on how much JL has killed the DECU as far as audience reception goes in BO $$.

He hasn’t even hit tracking yet, but Black Panther from Disney/Marvel is already a hot ticket out of the gate. After tickets went on sale Monday night, Black Panther is already outstripping Captain America: Civil War as Fandango’s best-selling MCU title in the first 24 hours of presales. Captain America: Civil War kicked off the opening of summer 2016 during the first weekend of May with $179M.

Billion $$ March here we come!!
Everyone thought all the black people show up to Madea movies... all the black people came out to see Get Out.... well, that wasn't ALL the black people. They WILL show up for Black Panther.
Everyone will show up for it, but the excitement and importance of this movie not only being good, but being successful has a very strong attachment to a very specific group of people.

Coogler Directing. Practically every up and coming or popular black actor in Hollywood who wasn't busy or already has a role in the MCU is in this. Kendrick Lamar on the Soundtrack. Disney behind distribution and marketing, Marvel Made, MCU associated, Infinity War lead in.... It has everything it needs to succeed.

I'm a fan of TTG (once, though - can't generally deal with reruns).  I'm tentatively planning to see this one in theaters on opening night.  It will probably be the best DC movie for awhile (Wonder Woman was good, don't get me wrong... but meh.  LEGO Batman was, frankly, terrible.  Wasted opportunity there.  No need to discuss the rest).

BnM - you should update your list with release dates.  I need to put in for days off and I'm too lazy to look 'em all up myself. :D

I don't actively watch Teen Titans: Go, but it was one of my favorite cartoons to watch with my kids when they were into it.  Perfect level of self-referential/deprecating humor, coupled with a healthy dose of WB style of antics, breaking the 4th wall, and an occasional bit of old Nickelodeon weird.  I can see how it might disappoint some who want something a little more serious with the characters, but for us, it's great.


Not sure if I'll take my kids to see it in theaters, but it'll absolutely be a rental.

I think Avengers and Deadpool are no-brainers for top box office this year. 


Maybe Incredibles 2 for #3 based on it being Pixar?  I wouldn't count out Black Panther though, they've established him as an interesting character, and I think Marvel does best when they make movies that are tonally different and break the mold a little bit.

We won't have to wait 12 months to get a good idea who has likely won this year.
Infinity War is a given for #1
but if BP, DP2, or i2 come anywhere near or even cross a billy, I really doubt Aquaman at the end of the year has a chance of being in the top 5, also considering the Infinity bump for Ant-man, and the loss of faith in DCEU after JL & BvS. Most of Aquaman's gross will be in next year, but unless word of mouth is spectacular (and the Star Wars movie doesn't move to December) I doubt Aq tops Ant-Man


edit: and I can't speak for WW #'s, but domestically, BP is trending UP w/ reported sell outs for tickets for opening weekend. Not to mention reports of theater buyouts. Disney is also doing a full nationwide release in Africa.

Okay Imma start cooking some crow: Infinity War will do well, but not as well as people expect. I'm thinking around 1.1 billion worldwide; trailer looks dull so far and seems over-reliant on an audience who follows all the Marvel stuff - that's not what the average Avengers viewer is.

 Got Black Panther in the #2 spot which I fully expect to be a sales cannon for Marvel/Disney. The cast is terrific, director seems bankable, the title character has been introduced in a popular film and will star in another anticipated hit... I'm saying that if Doctor Strange can grab 677 million at the box office, Black Panther has a clear shot at that range too, but I fully expect it to do a lot better actually, like maybe 800m+.

For the third one, Aquaman seems like the obvious bet since even garbage DC movies like Suicide Squad still somehow attract millions of people... Deadpool 2 would be the other obvious high-flier. However, I'm gonna pick a dark horse here and say New Mutants will come out the woodworks and blow people away.
That's based on absolutely nothing, I haven't even seen the trailer (if there is one), nor know what it is about or when it releases. But X-Men movies are difficult to predict and sometimes they suddenly do crazy well, only to crash again right after. Imma say this one will be a hit. Now where'd that crow go...

I'm sure Infinity is all but guaranteed to do $1.5B+
mark it. 10 year anniversary of the MCU. Marketing HYPE will push people into the damn theater on curiosity alone.

I'm with you on this one... only $800M-$1B
Chadwick Boseman was voted as most popular actor in some Chinese Award show... so if BP does well in China (where I traditionally black people are minimized on posters - See 12 years a slave), it has a shot at doing well everywhere.

New Mutants is a "Horror Movie" and there is a trailer out (click here) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu9e410C__I). All the release dates are on the poll up at the top. It has about 2 weeks to make all its money before Avengers Infinity War comes and steals the whole damn pie. Actually, IW marketing is gonna be through the roof, so don't be surprised if New Mutants gets a little glossed over.

Deadpool 2 moves up 2 weeks to May 18th (3rd weekend of Infinity War, week before Solo: Star Wars movie)
I wonder why March or April wouldn't have worked. seems risky to sandwich it there... or anywhere in the summer, unless everyone is just expecting Solo to not be that big of a spin-off.

and New Mutants.... well, that's moved to next year. 2/22/19 to be exact.
gotta wonder whats wrong there. LOL

I doubt it...

New Mutants apparently test screened last month. Advertising campaign already started (trailer was before TLJ) too, so there must be something very wrong there....
Umberto apparently said that it went for some rewrites and reshooting because it wasn't scary enough.

Deadpool... I have no idea what's going on there...
It was a week after Solo... and 2 weeks before Incredibles 2?
now it's 2 weeks after Infinity and 1 week before Solo

But if they were moving New Mutants... why not just move it to April?
or even better, mid March? 2018 is packed, but there are no Superhero/Comic movies at all in March/April if NM is moved to 2019.

Curious if any shuffling is about to happen with Solo for Disney (it's Star Wars... why didn't they put it in December?) or for X-Men: Dark Phoenix for Fox.

it was speculated that maybe Fox is trying to spread it's offerings out, since anything comic related not in real production by mid-2018 and ready for release by mid 2019 would probably get caught up in the Disney/Fox purchase. So instead of having nothing for next year, they are delaying NM till early 2019... not sure I buy that. I think something was just reeeaaaallllly really off with New Mutants and needed to be fixed. next open window for release was next year, and schedules for actors for reshoots may be busy... so that's where they put it.

I think all of the new Star Wars movies have started with May release dates, but eventually got moved to December.  Surprised Solo hasn't moved yet.

Marvel owns that 1st weekend in May now.
Star Wars has put it's flag on that middle of December date.
unfirtunately Avatar also wants that Xmas money, so unless they are going to alternate years, something's gotta give, because possibly around this time next year, Disney will be in charge of both SW and Avatar

Actually, between Marvel (Avengers, X-Men, F4, etc), Star Wars, Avatar, Pixar/Disney Animation, the Live Remakes (Lion King, Alladin, etc etc), and whatever else FOX makes.... I don't know how Disney won't be cannibalizing it's own profits trying to cram all that into EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Side note: Speaking of Avatar, it was on TV the other day, and I watched it for a bit in my hotel room.  It really doesn't hold up when you're not watching it for the first time in an IMAX 3D theatre.  Like, just watching it, hearing the dialogue, the acting. It was all so terrible.  I kinda want to get drunk and hate watch it for fun.

Domestic Top Top 3:
Wonder Woman - $412.5M
Guardians 2 - $389.8M
Spider-man - $334.2M
Thor 3 - $312.5M


World Wide Top 3:
Spider-man - $880M
Guardians 2 - $863.7M
Thor: Ragnarok - $850.3
Wonder Woman - $821.8M

I selected Guardians and Spiderman as the top two of the choices. Worldwide proves me correct but not on Domestic with Wonder Woman at top. So did I win?

I chose the same 2.

and I realized that we never made a distiction as to which market we were trying to pick the winner.

So everyone can choose their Top3 for Worldwide, and when they post that Top 3, they can state if they think there will be an outlier on the domestic end.

Not really meant to be a politically charged comment, but take away that it's focused strictly on killing, and don't we already have a kinda "purge" on society going on?

Personally, I can see a very specific set of people being all for it, where a portion of them would never get their hands dirty, and the rest would be all too happy to bathe in that dirt for them.

But luckily this movie is all fiction and we don't really have to worry about those kinda things on Earth 7

I'm not entirely sure, but I think I get what you're hinting at.

I just don't think you can convince a majority of people that the average murderer just needed to get it out of their system to be a productive member of society.  I don't wanna make it a political discussion either, so I won't deep dive into that thought.  But the one thing I always think of is not even murder-related.  I won't dive into that either.

Disney-Marvel’s “Black Panther” is heading for as much as $150 million in its North American opening on the four-day Presidents Day weekend, updated tracking is showing.

That’s significantly above the first tracking on Jan. 25 for the Chadwick Boseman tentpole, which initially placed the debut in the $100 million to $120 million range for the Feb. 16-19 period. “Black Panther” could break the Presidents Day weekend record of $152 million, set in 2016 by “Deadpool.”

I hope you guys have chosen your Top 3 movies wisely ;)

They really need to bump it forward even more into March 9th or 16th.way ahead of IW, leaves BP breathing room, and there really isn't any competition in that month either, so it will have all the rest of March and April for legs at the B.O.

It's probably kinda late now unless they rushed the CG months ago, but it would be nice if they spaced it out some. I want BP to do good, but I also don't want it yo cut IW short or get swallowed in the HYPE and have it's own legs cut off by Solo 2 weeks after.... it's such a bad place to put Deadpool if you ask me.... but I'm no expert.

I chose Incredibles 2 as my #3, but I wasn't aware that Jurassic World 2 comes out the week after in June.

https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1701079/new-movie-releases-2018-movie-release-date-schedule

2 weeks after that is Ant-Man, the week after that is Hotel Trans3, 2wks after that is MI:6 and TTGo
the week after that is The Predator and The Equalizer 2

so that should make things interesting. So many potentially interesting movies stepping no each others toes... is every year always this crammed? (DP2 should def move up to mid March)

Solo is shaping up to be a disaster according to insiders. Disney has even stated that their expectations have been dialed back significantly.


I think BP will do fine. Its shaping up to be a huge deal, and it is the lead in for Infinity War.

Me too. Jurassic Park movies are my jam. I've seen them all in theatres and I'm seriously excited every time one comes out even if the final product may not be that great. There's just something about them that excites me. I guess because they're still the best source to see a bunch of dinosaur action. Not sure what to think about this trailer. It seems like there is a return to the island but after Jurassic World they talked about doing something different and having dinosaurs actually on land in contact with people and it looks like there may be some of that too. Creating a new dinosaur seems a bit derivative after doing it in Jurassic World. (Still didn't get the lesson after the engineered dino destroyed a perfectly working park?) But rather than have the created dinosaur be the main focus like Jurassic World did, this one looks to have a whole mix of dinosaur action and that's the part I'm excited about from this trailer. I hope a whole bunch of dino species get in on the action this time and, like a child smashing all his dino toys together in a big fight, the possibility exists from this trailer of the movie doing just that.

If I only see one movie at a theater this year (and that's not happening since I've already seen a bunch already in January) then Jurassic World 2 would be it and is my most anticipated movie of 2018. And so the waiting begins....

Second JWFK trailer was much better than the first. I'm pretty sure they're doing the human-dinosaur hybrid thing they had planned from the last one.

Solo trailer dropped too - looks decent, though the teaser from last night actually looked better. The biggest problem is the dude looks and sounds absolutely nothing like Han Solo.

For all of you playing along in the Superhero Box Office game, Black Panther is tracking for a $140M-$160M opening weekend, and that's still a week till release.

The last MCU movie to open in that range was GotG2 at $146.5M and ended at $863M WW

If BP continues to get the reviews and WOM that it has been getting, coupled with the fact that there aren't any big releases to slow it down over the next month or so, this really could get close to or even cross that $Billy mark

p.s. IM3 opened at $174M and ended up with $1.2B WW, so assuming similar legs to both GotG2 and IM3, if BP opens north of $150 or even over $160M... welcome to the promise land :)

10) 214,105 - Marvel's The Avengers

Black Panther is Biggest Opening Day of 2018 in UK so far (also topping previous movies such as Deadpool and Thor Ragnarok from last year)

Black Panther stormed the UK box office on Tuesday (Feb 13), posting an opening day total of £2.67m from more than 550 sites.
The figure tops Fifty Shades Freed, which took £2.66m when it opened last Friday (Feb 9).
It also tops several recent superhero film UK opening days such as Thor: Ragnarok (£2.13m) and Deadpool (£2.3m).
...
The biggest ever official opening weekend for a Marvel film is Avengers: Age Of Ultron, which posted £18m including £3.6m in previews.

and just for fun, check you local theater(s) and see if there are any tickets left, especially for reserved seat showings.

Black Panther forecast jumps again, up to $180+M for 3day weekend.
http://pro.boxoffice.com/weekend-forecast-black-panther-marvel-shred-records-early-man-samson/

That won't beat IM3 in the regular Fri-Sun count, but it will blow away Deadpool for the February record of $152M over 4 days.

My local theater isn't totally sold out, but there are reports of theaters adding TONS of last minute show times to accommodate ticket sales.

Disney is sticking by their usually conservative $150M long weekend expectation.
most estimates seem to peg that as really low, and ultra conservative.

The critically acclaimed movie currently boasts a stellar 98 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, the best of any title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (that could change by opening day), or the rival DC Extended Universe. On Thursday, ticketing service Fandango reported Black Panther is its No. 4 pre-seller of all time, only trailing recent Star Wars films The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017) and Rogue One (2016).

This could be BIG people..... could this be not only the largest Marvel solo, but the 1st into the $Billy club as well minus IM/RDJ?

Super Late edit, but DAMN!!!!

Nevertheless, our target range has increased and expanded to the realm of $190M-$215M over the four-day weekend. As always, the margins for error dictate that a final gross slightly lower or higher than that range is within reason.
meter on overload.... we were looking for sub-space/atmospheric flight.... we accidentally landed on the moon.

I'm not gonna get my hopes on this last minute boost.... $180M is beyond fantastic and way beyond ANYONES expectation. To actually go beyond that, much less reach $215M would be phenomenal and all but guarantee IM3+ $$.

edit2:
Boxoffice Mojo on that $200M+ train too....O_o

Additionally, online ticket retailer Fandango.com reports Black Panther is the company's largest pre-seller among all superhero films, outselling Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166m opening). Even more to the point, Black Panther is the site's fourth largest pre-seller of all-time behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

As a result, the sky would appear to be the limit when it comes to the film's opening weekend, and it's quite clear records will be broken. We're currently anticipating an anticipate a three-day opening around $185 million and using Deadpool's performance as a guide, a four-day around $210 million if not more. Obviously this results in a new February opening weekend record, new President's Day opening record and a top ten performance in categories including all-time opening weekend and opening theater average for a wide release.

p.s. $190M opening would be double Justice League's opening weekend.... :/

I can't imagine there is *anyone* on the fence about BP (I assume you either want to see it or are refusing for some crazy reason...) - but if you are - go see it.  Worth it.  And looks amazing in IMAX.  Not Ragnarok amazing, but still awesome.

$200M+ 4 Day weekend likely. Hope BP was 1 of your Top 2 of 3 choices, otherwise I think you may have already lost  ;D

*for Context, only other MCU preview that has been higher was Age of Ultron.

I had IW, BP, and Deadpool 2, but I'm beginning to think I should have swapped Deadpool over to Ant-Man.  That preview had the audience laughing during BP and I think there will be a lot of renewed interest in all things Marvel following BP and IW.  Also, I think some folks are getting really worn out on the '#itsallconnected' thing but BP does an *amazing* job of telling a story that weaves into the greater MCU without making it feel like you have no idea what's going on if you haven't invested several days marathoning all things Marvel prior to watching the movie.

If they can keep that up, I think they'they'll keep a lot of casuals interested who were losing interest.

I'm off to watch in just under 2hrs.

But in the Poll I personally had
1) Avengers IW
2) Black Panther
3) Incredibles 2 (...barely over Deadpool2)

I wasn't sure on Ant-Man, even though I thought the trailer looked damn good for an action/comedy. Probably in a #5 slot just above #6 Aquaman

I'm super excited for this, and already know of more than a few people that don't even care for Marvel movies (or movies in the theater) are Turnt Up for this movie with tickets already bought at least a week or so ago.

I'm really hoping the good WOM continues and the DCstans negative user review campaign on RT ultimately don't matter (it won't) and the legs on this one are loooooong enough to last through March and into April.

It did something like $25.5M on Thursday. Totaled around $76M on Fri (including thurs). Estimated for $69M on Fri
76+69 = 145
Sun expected to be a slight minus to Sat, so that already equals pretty close if not equal to 200M for the 3 day weekend.
Add in another 30-50M for Monday.... And Damn Gina!!!

It's weird how they always show the numbers before Sunday even happens. They're typically pretty close, but there have been a few major misses in the past, where the Sunday take was much higher than the estimate.

So BP did $60.1M on Sunday. 2nd highest single day US B.O. Ever behind Star Wars TFA ($60.5M).
This puts BP with a 3 day total of $201M

4day expected to hit around $240M.
Absolute craziness.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on February 19, 2018, 07:04:41 PM
I'm pretty sure Feige has the blueprint for the next "Phase" already mapped out since 3-4 years ago.
General scripts already in works, and some test CGI already worked out.

And I can almost guarantee you that 2 sequels, 3 Event movies + Civil War were all in the original contract.
Will probably negotiate for any additional appearances (gonna be getting that RDJ money soon enough)

Post by: ShyGuy on February 19, 2018, 07:23:13 PM
I'm curious to see where they go with the new phase. Spiderman seems obvious, and I could see them expanding the space stuff (Honestly it's been some of the best parts of the MCU so far) Hulk seems due for a starring movie again. Maybe She Hulk shows up? So much else is Mutants or Fantastic Four territory.

Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on February 19, 2018, 08:03:35 PM
I assume they would revamp the Avengers team to be Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man and The Wasp, plus whoever else they can get under a reasonable contract.  Maybe have someone else take the mantle of Captain America, like in the comics.

I would like to see She-Hulk, but another Hulk movie would be tied up with Paramount, right?

Also, the plans from a few years ago are probably shaken up from the Fox deal.

Paramount has rights to first refusal on distribution for any Hulk movie.

I'm sure somewhere in this Fox deal may be something Disney is willing to part with, that Paramount may want and in turn give up those distribution rights. Not like they are making anything from them at the moment. I'm hoping this same strategy can be used in a deal with Comcast for Marvel Amusement park rights, and possibly whatever finger they have in the Namor pie.

and also this

It was revealed the plans had backup plans as well in the event they won back rights to their other properties.


And Yes, Feige has scripts and outlines for all sorts of movies... in the "off chance" the properties become available for use. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew about this Fox deal getting close about a year ago, and already started inserting ideas for mid Phase 4 regarding Fantastic 4 and X-Men movies/cameos.

Those already mentioned:
Captain Marvel
Spider-Man
Black Panther
Ant Man and Wasp

Keep Around:
Vision
Falcon
Dr Strange

Bring On:
She-Hulk
Hercules
The Black Knight
Darkhawk
Wonder Man

This is really starting to sound like the B team, but maybe the could pull it off.

But Wanda has so much to learn from The Sorcerer Supreme even in her "magic" is different
Falcon and Bucky will honor Caps memory together.
Hulk and She-Hulk... she doesn't exist w/o him, right?
Thor & Herc.... trading stories from Mt. Olympus... over giant never empty mugs of beer
Lady Hawkeye... or Lady Hawkguy. Someone has to deliver that version
War Machine and Falcon to get that Shuri *vibranium tech* upgrade

Will go on to reach $550M+ domestic. Can't rule out hitting $600M at this point. Shattering all expectations.

BP Update. Apparently a record breaking school day Tuesday @ $21.5M.
At this rate, BP projected to be around $300M by the weekend, and over $400M after its second weekend... O_o

Incredible numbers, especially for a movie the rest of Hollywood never would've made, because a movie this Black could never make money and wouldn't be worth the risk of investment.
Marvel put their money where their mouth was, and now they sitting on a mine full of vibranium.

BP could hit $550/$600M+ domestic, and that's just insane.

The last major movie with an all black cast was Red Tails, i believe, and George Lucas said that he ended up financing it himself because of the reluctance to do so by anyone else.

Either way i hope this, and Get Out, kicks off a trend for more similar positive movies to actually happen.

In the UK this has long been an issue, with several black actors (Letitia Wright, Daniel Kaluuya, Idris Elba, David Harewood, Sophie Okenedo and others) all far more visible in the USA than in the UK simply because there's less work for BAME (black asian minority ethnic) actors here. It's a known thing too.

Hopefully A Wrinkle In Time from Disney will do well (enough) too, soon. It's not an all-black cast by any stretch of the imagination, but does star a couple of prominent people of colour in seemingly big roles. Directed by Ava Duvernay too, who did the excellent Selma and I think Marvel wanted her for Black Panther at some point?

To be honest A Wrinkle In Time doesn't really appeal to me personally, but I hope it does well with young audiences. It'd be a shame if it bombed and Hollywood executives could have an excuse to go "well, see, Black Panther was a fluke after all! No need to hire people of colour to direct movies anymore!"
I feel like a one-two punch of (financially) successful Disney tentpoles directed by people of colour could really convince a lot of studio execs to further embrace more diverse hiring practices. But maybe that's overly optimistic.

I really hope A Wrinkle in Time does well too.  It takes so many movies for Hollywood to see something against the norm as anything more than a fluke.

I saw on Twitter that Ava Duvernay actually turned down Black Panther to do AWIT and recommended Ryan Coogler.

Already crossed $500M WW and could be @ $700M WW after this weekend is over.

Doesn't release in China till first weekend in March, and we expecting around $100M, so $1B+ is very much still in play.

Trilogy?  It's a quintet!  Although I can't see them making five without making the ones that come before it... and that would just get messy and confusing.

AWIT is my all-time favorite book.  I have a second edition printing in my office at work with an autographed photo of L'engle inside.  All I know is that it cannot *possibly* be as terrible as the last attempt. :D

Another BP B.O. update.

It's predicted to top $120M for its second weekend (that's more than it was originally predicted to make in early OW predictions, and way more than JL's opening weekend.

Chances are, it comes in higher than that as BP had been out doing every prediction thrown at it so far.
Either way, it's already done amazing, so it's all just icing on Marvels cake.

Just wanted to add something to this historic run for Black Panther. If BP hits over $100M in it's 2nd weekend, it will be the 4th film to ever accomplish that.

But here are some other records that it now holds:

LARGEST FEBRUARY OPENING WEEKEND - $202,003,951
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($132,434,639)
LARGEST WINTER SEASON OPENING WEEKEND - $202,003,951
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($132,434,639)
LARGEST PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND OPENING - $242,155,680
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($152,193,853)
LARGEST MONDAY - $40,151,729
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($40,109,742)
LARGEST THURSDAY PREVIEW GROSS IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY - $25.2 million
PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($12.7 million)


I know Deadpool enjoyed it while it lasted. But the King has ascended to his throne in the month of February, making Black History.

edit:
It also holds the 2nd Highest 4-Day Gross of All Time and 2nd Highest Sunday of All Time  (2nd to SW:TFA)
2nd Highest Opening for a Comicbook Movie (2nd to The Avengers)
3rd Largest "Per Theater" average and that is with the smallest theater count in Top 15 Openings of All Time
15th Largest World Wide debut (w/o China or Russia) - China delayed to Lunar New Year

next we await to see if what the weekend brings.

p.s. I hear Game Night is pretty good if you're looking for a comedy this weekend.

I'm not opposed to seeing AWIT, just the trailers have been incredibly bad. If it wasn't for the book and the Disney label, I would think this would be a major flop. To be honest though, it probably still will be, like Tomorrowland.

To be honest... the trailers leave me... unexcited.  I sincerely hope that Disney just isn't quite sure how to market this one.  Like Black Panter, it breaks a lot of 'rules'.  Unlike Black Panter, it isn't a Marvel Movie and folks aren't likely to go see it on name alone.  Serioualy, I don't think I've seen a single Black Panter ad on TV.  Granted, I don't see a lot of Television ads anymore, but I *have* seen AWIT ads...

So reviews for Annihilation are out and they're skewing rather positive. Has anyone seen this yet? I hadn't heard anything about it and I kinda worry it's been sent out to die against Black Panther at the box office.

Annihilation is directed by Alex Garland, who's previously done Ex Machina which was a super tense thriller. He also wrote the screenplays for Sunshine, Dredd, Never Let Me Go, 28 Days Later. As far as I'm concerned, Garland is basically batting 1,000 here. So I'm gonna see it on that basis, but no screens near me are showing it so far. >:C

BP claims highest 2nd weekend EVER with an estimate $108M
http://deadline.com/2018/02/black-panther-natalie-portman-annihilation-game-night-weekend-box-office-1202300998/ (http://deadline.com/2018/02/black-panther-natalie-portman-annihilation-game-night-weekend-box-office-1202300998/)

Before today is over, it will have crossed $400M domestic, 4 days sooner than The Avengers.
That also puts the movie over $700M Worldwide, with China set to release either next weekend, or the one after that.

So that Billion Dollar March continues!!

edit: actual numbers coming in, and BP manages to out perform estimates again. $113M+ for the weekend

Having seen Black Panther much sooner than I expected (I'm really confused as to why everyone has been so hyped about this movie and still am after seeing it but that's neither here nor there) that means the only other movies currently playing that I really want to see are Annihilation and Game Night. My interest in Annihilation was peaked when I saw a trailer for it at the theater a month or two ago. Having since learned who is behind it as Steefosaurus has highlighted made it more of a must see. However, it is Game Night I'll be going to see with a friend tomorrow so it will be a couple more days before I check out Annihilation.

Game Night reminds me of a Bill Murray movie I used to like as a teen called The Man Who Knew Too Little. The trailer seemed like it might have potential but comedy movie trailers are often deceptive. However, the reviews have been pretty positive for it so I'm hoping it turns out to be a fun night.

As for A Wrinkle in Time, I regret that it is one book I've yet to read. I've always heard the title bandied about as a great book and it is supposed to be a classic but never got around to ever checking it out. Seeing the trailers for it though have left me confused and questioning just what the book is actually like. Now I don't feel too bad having skipped it over. When I saw the first footage of revealed sometime last year, my initial thought was that it looked like a bomb but guess we'll see how it does. Right now, it is not really on my radar of movies to check out. Definitely wait and see.

Actual numbers came in for BP - $111.7M (above the $108M estimated)

But BP doing so good, Disney it's opening a STEM educational center in Oakland now!!

T'Challa out here making a difference in real people's lives.
This is awesome of Disney. I hope this kind of give back and out reach continues.

And there's more to it
Quote
Boys & Girls Clubs of America will use this one-time grant to further develop its existing national STEM curriculum, and also establish new STEM Centers of Innovation in Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; Chicago, IL; Harlem, NY; Hartford, CT; Memphis, TN; New Orleans, LA; Orlando, FL; Philadelphia, PA; Washington, DC; Watts, CA, and most notably, Oakland, CA.

And schools are still doing weekday field trips. So this train might carry on for a while. BP has no real competition for at least a month.....

Idk anything about A Wrinkle In Time, but the trailers look really stupid.

Review Embargo on A Wrinkle In Time has lifted yesterday.

General consensus of reviews so far "It's not good.... BUT it was a really hard book to adapt, it looks beautiful, and I can't wait to see what the actors and Ava Duvernay do next....."

And one reviewer stated that Disney asked them to not say anything till next week... and wasn't sure why, as that particular review kinda liked it, but says it's more for the kids than the critics and adults....

Very guarded and cautious reviews on this one.

Just a quick Black Panther B.O. Update

estimated $65.5M weekend to beat The Avengers for the #3 best 3rd weekend of all time.
with just $3M more (and it's not expected to beat estimates <something it's done on ever other estimate> because of the Oscars tonight) it will beat Avatar for the #2 spot on that same list.

BP is also crossing $500M domestic in it's 3rd weekend.
and is just $2M shy of $900M Worldwide
it also opens next weekend in China and is expected to cross $100M, so regardless $1B is guaranteed, as BP still has another $100M in it in the U.S. alone.

will update again once the next record/milestone is hit.
p.s. this movie is on track to outgross the TLJ, the OG Avengers movie, and maybe even Jurassic World and possibly even Titanic in the domestic box office.

this is honestly just fucking crazy numbers for not just any movie, but one that 99.9% of hollywood never would've made because "it wouldn't make any money".

Forgive my enthusiasm, but this movie was important on way too many levels, and it is performing even better than ANYONE realistically expected, even on the highest end of the scale.

I don't get how the oscars would have much of an effect on BP's weekend pull.  I can't imagine there's a lot of overlap between folks who care enough about the Oscars to watch them live and folks who want to see Black Panther, but are willing to wait three weeks to do it.
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 04, 2018, 02:47:12 PM
I just wanted to add that theaters have been reportedly sold out for most convenient showtimes (late afternoon/evening weekday showings and weekends), and in it's 3rd week, Black Panther has added theaters to it's theater count.

My guess is that the viewership for the Oscars tonight will take that expanded audience and keep them glued to the TV instead of out at the theaters, so it might depress the "estimate beating" numbers BP has been doing daily for the last 3 weeks.
Oscars had something like 33 Million viewers last year.

(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/299631429623742464/420004565514190869/unknown.png)
and remember that BP has another $100-$150M+ domestic in the tank, and most likely another $100M or so from just China that releases next week, and not to mention whatever else the rest of the overseas market puts ontop of that.... so looking at a possible $1.2B+ before it's all said and done.

Black Panther B.O. Update ::pops cork::

WE DID IT!!!!
Black Panther crosses into the coveted Billy Club!!!

http://variety.com/2018/film/news/black-panther-billion-global-box-office-1202723326/
Quote
Marvel’s “Black Panther” continues to climb box office charts, passing the $1 billion mark at the global box office in just 26 days.

It’s the 16th Disney film to reach this milestone, and the fifth Marvel film to do so — joining the ranks of “The Avengers,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Iron Man 3,” and “Captain America: Civil War.”

“Black Panther” has grossed $521 million domestically, making it the ninth-highest release of all time. In its fourth weekend, “Black Panther” is heading for a $37 million-plus weekend, which would make it the No. 2 superhero release of all time over “The Dark Knight’s” $535 million.

It would also give “Black Panther” the third-highest fourth weekend of all time, taking the title from “The Avangers” with $36.7 million. “Avatar” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” currently hold the one and two spots, with $50.3 million and $42.4 million respectively. A 44% drop for the tentpole’s fourth weekend would be on par with its third weekend decline of 41%.

Internationally, “Black Panther” is aiming for the $500 million mark this weekend, thanks to a strong debut in China, where it opened with $20 million in its first day.

5th MCU movie to make it, 1st to do it in a solo 1st outing, and only one to do it w/o Ironman in it.

Supposedly Deadpool 2 is in some last minute reshoots after a test screening didn't go so well.

Fox tried to keep it under wraps so hard, that they put a C&D on the guy who reported it on twitter, even though the twitter person didn't see the screening, and therefore never signed an NDA regarding it.

So I'm kinda curious on if DP2 keeps it's date right after IW and just before Solo, where bad WOM will allow it be forgotten before it can even breathe, or do they move it to late July and go against the might Teen Titans Go?

Black Panther 27M
Tomb Rider 23-25M

and if you're wondering if that's a good number for a 5th week.... here is the All-Time Chart

$27M would put BP in the #4 spot ahead of highest ranked Star Wars - TFA, and just below Frozen

I also wouldn't be surprised if some of those late reshoots are to add Black Panther or additional (JL?) movie related gags that just became relevant after recent test screenings.

I'm sure DP 2 will b far be my favorite X related film, 2nded only by the original BP.

XM:DP moves to 2/14/19 (1 month before Capt. Marvel w/ "same" alien threat)
NM moves to 8/02/19 (that's enough time to reshoot the entire movie)

Do you think this is because the upcoming Fox/Disney merger? Would Disney benefit by delaying major films so they can be listed under a different accountancy balance? Although the new X-Men date runs rather contrary to that, so maybe I'm just tinfoilhatting haha.

Very little accounting benefit to moving the dates.

The acquisition is probably gonna trigger a restatement to show Disney's books as if they'd always had them anyway.  Delaying a potentially large amount of revenue just makes the retroactive consolidation easier.

It's delayed to a few weeks before Capt Marvel, probably just to show skrulls first, out if spite, just like Quicksilver and "not" Scarlet Witch in DoFP.

There's a chance New mutants never sees a theatrical release though, depending on when the buyout is complete. But I doubt any of this is because Disney wanted it to be. Legally they have no say over anything 21st Century Fox does until the ink dries and the deals complete.

http://www.tracking-board.com/inside-the-drama-surrounding-foxs-new-mutants-including-a-top-secret-new-cast-member-exclusive/

The drama surrounding New Mutants:

summary: Director/Writer had a vision for a R horror movie. Fox said "nope, PG-13, light on horror, more Young Adult", Fox took script to committee writing room (14 writers total) to change story and horror elements. Director contractually shot what was scripted, film tested positively.
Fox for some reason released a trailer hyping the movie as FULL HORROR which got great buzz. then send director back to increase the horror elements of the film... like he originally planned (but still keep PG-13?).
Originally had Warlock in script, but Fox thought too expensive.
also had John Hamm to do Mr. Sinister, but Fox killed that right after additional scenes shot to lead into it.

still tl:dr
Basically, Fox fucked with the movie from script to shooting to budget, and now it's kind of a combination of ideas that needs to be fixed.

You guys remember that Deadpool cartoon that was being headed up by Donald Glover?

No? oh, well.... it's been canceled.
I didn't post about it last week, but Donald Glover posted a "script" for an episode just to give you a taste of the humor and current social commentary present in the show. (it was on Twitter... I'm sure it's still out there somewhere, but it wasn't on Glover's twitter no more)
https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/donald-glover-leaks-deadpool-script-pages-says-he-wasn-1824139439

Well, now his bother has put forth one of the reasons why the plug was pulled by FX/Fox and Glover.
https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/did-a-taylor-swift-script-dead-donald-glover-s-deadpool-1824240636 (https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/did-a-taylor-swift-script-dead-donald-glover-s-deadpool-1824240636)

Apparently a Taylor Swift episode is to be blamed. Hopefully someone gets the script, animates it, leaks it and then eventually the show gets revisited should a Disney buyout of Fox/FX/FXX ever finalize

To be fair, I never thought this sounded like a good idea anyway. I think too much Deadpool would ruin the character.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 01, 2018, 10:25:29 PM
The leaked script seemed pretty on point. But he did write it supposedly just to release it to twitter, so the commentary was VERY current. I only read part of it, but it could''ve been good.

and I don't think having an unrelated cartoon that is exploring much different stuff than the movies that might show up once every 2-3 years would be too much Deadpool.


New Rockstars did a Live Reading of the "mock" script
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdpRDF8Jc4w (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdpRDF8Jc4w)


but since they don't sound or talk like Deadpool, it might be better to just find the script and read it that Deadpool voice in your head to yourself.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on April 02, 2018, 07:03:26 PM
Yeah but Deadpool is a pretty bandwagon-y character, blowing up really big over the past couple years despite being around since the early 90s. I think a lot of his popularity comes from people who want to like him because that is the trendy thing to do, and the saturation point will be reached too soon if they aren't careful with the character. For example, Avengers 4 will be ridiculously successful, but I bet X-Force doesn't make 75% of what Deadpool does.
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on April 02, 2018, 10:35:20 PM
Iron-Man has been around even longer and is seeing a surge in popularity, but that doesn't stop Marvel from putting him at the center of the MCU.

Granted, Deadpool is kind of a niche character at his core, and his schtick could wear out on those who aren't really into him.

Actually, now I think you're right.

Black Panther B.O. Update (it's been a while)

Black Panther is set to pass Titanic for the #3 spot on the All-Time Domestic Gross list today.
(https://i.imgur.com/v88MRI8.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/ANXzJjy.png)

It is also going to cross $1.3B Worldwide this weekend to further cement itself at the #10 spot on the All-Time WorldWide Gross list as well
(https://i.imgur.com/qk7JFZa.png)

But will it have enough left in the tank before IW to take #9 from TLJ?
and if can do that, will it also have enough left at home to cross $700M domestic?

Those are the 2 milestones left to watch with BP.

With Fox announcing that Dark Phoenix is that last X-Men movie from them, what does that mean exactly for New Mutants? being sold to Netflix? or straight to Hulu...?

I'm not sure if X-Force counts, but I assume the acquisition will be complete before it would've come out anyway. Same with New Mutants and anything else that wasn't delayed till past summer of next year.

Oh and don't be surprised if some of the mask on voice over jokes in the trailer aren't in the final movie.

It's mostly the head. But it's also a low quality video. My opinion could liken to it a bit more with a better look.

Looks pretty mediocre from that trailer right? The gravelly disembodied venom voice, the annoying way that lady pronounces symbiote, the powers looks more like that Prototype game from years ago, and the 'release your inner demons ANTI-HERO' tagline is really dumb too.

Sure might be nitpicky to single out such specific things, and I think Hardy could turn in a decent morally wrought performance here ("why would we do such a thing?"), but judging from this short preview... I think much of the good stuff will be lost in a bland looking action thriller about 'evil companies'.

Symbiote is barely a real word.

That being said Venom looks bad in a Steel or Catwoman sort of way.

Remember when Warner Bros made that Catwoman movie severed from anything to do with Batman, and kinda threw it together based on what was known from Catwoman from the other movie? Yeah. History repeats itself.

Spider-man should have just encountered the alien suit during infinity war instead of getting the iron spider suit, and then they could have started the story of Venom in a spider-man movie as villain number 2 and then spun him off into the lethal protector movie....

but this is Sony and Tom Holland's going to play Nathan Drake so fucking whatever....

Symbiote was always the wrong word because the suit was really a parasite.

it also hit $808.4M worldwide in the same time.

I'm pretty sure this will set the new record for fastest to $1B Worldwide

I'm curious as to what the A4 numbers will actually look like.  Will people who weren't fully invested in IW still go see A4 to see how the story ends?  Or will people go anyway, like they did for A4, because it's the biggest movie event since the last biggest movie event?  Like, where's the ceiling on this?

A4 will likely be the cathedral like high vaulted ceiling.

Holy **** guys.... this article is from yesterday (based on yesterdays data at least)

https://screenrant.com/avengers-infinity-war-china-presales-record/ (https://screenrant.com/avengers-infinity-war-china-presales-record/)
Quote
THR reports Avengers: Infinity War now holds the record for most presales in China ever. With still a day to go before the film officially opens, the blockbuster has tallied $47.5 million in presale tickets. That just edges out China’s previous record holder Monster Hunt 2, but easily surpasses Fate of the Furious‘ $25M record for films made in Hollywood"

"Monster Hunt 2 and Fate of the Furious are China’s two biggest opening weekends of all-time after taking in $187.9M and $184.9M, respectively. If Infinity War is outselling them in advance, the flood of general moviegoers could give the movie a chance to be China’s biggest opening ever"

IW to become biggest opener in China ever!?
But will China let it gross as much as it potentially could, or does it get yanked in favor of local cinema after a few weeks?

A little B.O. Update.

IW about to open to around $200M in China. I think it's a record opening for China. With international and domestic gross added to the total, I think IW passed The Avengers as highest grossing superhero movie of All Time this weekend.

But as the numbers stand right now...
Marvel has 2 of the Top 5 OW Domestic | Disney has 9 of the Top 10
Marvel has 3 of the Top 5 2nd Weekends | Disney has 6 of the Top 10

If IW hits around $65M domestic for this weekend...
Marvel has 3 of the Top 5 3rd Weekends | Disney has 7 of the Top 10

Now BP need to make $3M more WW so that when IW passes it, it won't get pushed out the Top 10 on the WW Gross Chart.
Marvel will have 4 of the Top 10 WW | Disney will have 10 of the Top 15 WW

and the craziest thing about it is that all the Disney movies are from within the last 6 years. The oldest movie being The Avengers from 2012!! O_o

Well, I was going off the *updated as of this post* numbers. And the official tally hasn't been added up for the weekend yet, but yeah, it passes it today whenever those numbers post.

Apparently IW may even cross $1B International w/o China, so adding another $4-500k from China + the US Gross... $2B is looking real likely.


edit: And who are the 3 people that voted and didn't pick IW as one of their 3 choices!? o_O
Must be at least 2 of the people that picked New Mutants as well. LOL

IW was the 1 gimme vote though. We all knew it was gonna be the #1 gross movie of the year.
I didn't want to make things boring though by saying "Other than IW.... chose the next 2 highest grossing movies". So to not pick IW was to gamble that for some reason is was gonna bomb.

But there were no stakes, so no loss to be had.

Going to go watch DP likely this weekend. I would have done so already but it is a good excuse to give a mate some free time away from home and work.
What was the budget on IW? TLJ looked like it did well but was so stupid expensive it is barely breaking even.

Comes to think of it with these movies being so expensive I don't see the results on the screen. Black Panther got visually worse further in and the fighting was the same like it was some TV special. Watson flew the laziest flight sequence in a while and I am not sure how his character got into the airforce.

Who's ready for another ThunderCats animated series on Cartoon Network!!?

sounds interesting right....

http://ew.com/tv/2018/05/18/cartoon-network-thundercats-new-animated-series/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
Quote
The ThunderCats are coming back!

EW can exclusively reveal that Warner Bros. Animation is bringing back the iconic cat-like aliens for new animated series called ThunderCats Roar, which will debut on Cartoon Network in 2019.

Check out an exclusive sneak peak at the show above.

The original ThunderCats show aired from 1985 and 1989, and followed the adventures of Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra, Snarf, and WilyKit and WilyKat, the refugees of the planet Thundera who end up on Third Earth. While ThunderCats Roar plans on staying true to the original’s premise and will feature tons of action, it will also lean into the inherent comedy of the world, too.

All I will say is this art style doesn't seem to be that different from Muppet Babies or A Pup Named Scooby Doo, both highly popular shows enjoyed by many of the same folks complaining about this.

I must confess, though, I never watched the original so I have no stake in this reboot.

I think it also set the record for Biggest Opening day (Thurs+Fri) for an R rated movie.
I think IT had the record ($48M) or it could've been DP1, but I think DP2 came in at 52-53.

Deadpool is also the Highest International Opener for Fox

Thundercats Roar has me not super interested.  The art style doesn't lend itself to great action sequencing to me.  Like Steven Universe is a similar style, and that has action, but the show is much more focused on story and character.  And I think having a sillier vibe for the show take away from the gravity of any violence you depict.

Incredibles 2 is probably the most asked for sequel from Pixar. They teased the damn sequel at the end of the 1st movie and then made us wait till we were all great grand parents to finally bring the sequel out. Hype on this one is low key I think, but certainly not Fake.

Let down is something of an understatement as TLJ and NuSW treats everyone as idiots. One of the super big problems related to that is "I clapped". They throw in all these blatant references expecting everyone to bark like Pavlovian dogs. Solo double, triple down on this.

Ignoring the nostalgia/IP factor they are fundamentally bad films. Lots and lots of why would you do that, what has that got to do with anything, the sledgehammer hamfisting of everything especially messaging. The constant theme and visual over logical storytelling. There are errors in isolation you can explain away but they are still bad ideas, bring in the rest of the movie and you just murdered everything.

TL:DR, NuStar Wars/Trek are just bad shows. Insert random reason as to why and it is likely valid.

My 6pm Thursday-Night 'Fan Event' had, maybe, 15 people there (being generous).

That seemed like a terrible sign to me.  By contrast, the 6pm Thursday Avengers Fan Event was sold out, the 7pm shows were packed, and leaving after our showing was over, the theater was packed, presumably with folks waiting for the 9 o'clock hour showings.  Leaving the theater after Solo... it was more dead than Justice League opening night.

The blow from Last Jedi certainly didn't help, but the main reason I'm not bothering with it at the movies is that I just don't care enough about the character.  Never have.  I've never asked any questions about Han's youth, I've never cared about it.  He was just a supplemental character on a movie series, not remotely important enough to carry his own movie. 

The newly announced Boba Fett movie is in the same basket for me.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on May 27, 2018, 11:51:39 AM
Yeah, through Boba Fett movie seems like a horrible idea. He's wildly popular with Star Wars hipsters and people who think it's cool to like him, but I think his whole appeal is that he's a mysterious bounty hunter. I actually like how he and his father were portrayed in Attack of the Clones. It's going to be written and directed by James Mangold (Logan director), so it will probably be a good movie...just one that shouldn't get made.
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stratos on May 27, 2018, 07:20:26 PM
The Fett film could be cool, but it needs the right execution. Logan is a fair model to try and follow, though hopefully less emotionally driven.


The Yoda one is the worse idea so far I think. Just don't see a lot of use out of it.


Obi-wan could be the best potential if they pick the correct time, but the best subject was already covered in the Clone Wars and Rebels shows. Darth Maul could have been one of the aggressors and the conclusion could be their showdown on Tatooine.


There could also be a plot with Darth Krayt (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Krayt) from the EU. He was raised by Tusken before becoming a Jedi and left the order before Order 66. Old Obi-wan had a run-in with him when he led a Tusken revolt of sorts that threatened baby Luke and Obi-wan beat him but spared his life, allowing him to later become a Dark Lord (though that is resoundingly retconned unless they want to make it a Snoke Origin story -which would never happen).

I am surprised Rosanne came back at all hearing how much it got run into the ground the first time. Given the premise, subject matter and Rosanne's statement before any of this I am surprised it ever got made and broadcast. There is a reason why you don't make stories based on "That" subject matter as there is nothing good has ever come out of it. As sympathetic as you can make the characters themselves to be their underlying message or being is repulsive to the core.

They had basically made a show about villains doing and advocating bad things resulting in self-defeating goals for terrible reasons. This is of course an outsider perspective looking in.

I just never thought it was funny. No politics required.

A show I'm both happy and really dreading to see return is Murphy Brown. That show's early seasons were spectacular, but it also ran spectacularly into the ground in its later seasons. That revival needs to be funny BEYOND the easy political shots for it to be relevant.

I am sad Roseanne got canceled. I loved the original show and was enjoying the revival. I didn't care for the politics but it was in line with people I know who, like Roseanne, were Democrats int he 90's and still voted for Trump.

I do think she is off her rocker and needs to get off Twitter though.
Shameless (U.S.) I stopped watching midway through season 6. I won't get into the politics but I despise a character on the show I used to like. Not because of what she did but how she treated her little sister about making a totally different choice.

That was the last straw for me, not going back. It's been a downhill spiral since, five minutes into the pilot but I had to walk away. Been 2 weeks since I watched an episode no interest in going back.

Wreck it Ralph 2 just looks awful in the 2 trailers Disney's released. What was a tribute to video gaming appears now to just be a blatant cross-marketing 1.5 hour commercial on par with the Emoji Movie. Bleh.

It might not have "seasons". Seasons are a convenient way schedule content and give crew a break, regroup should things go sideways, renegotiate terms to change of conditions.

Seasons have become increasingly meaningless with networks having arbitrary mid season breaks and changing the release schedule between weeks on a whim. Seasons use to mean something where a new season meant every week you got a new episode until it ran it's course no matter if it was made week to week or almost completed before airing. All the arbitrary breaks just kill the momentum of a show and I can forget what happens previously or that it has returned because the (mid season)breaks are long enough to be traditional breaks.

I think it's likely they will go with a Youtube like format where they release episodes year round on a regular, more spaced out schedule. The core crew would certainly appreciate their job moving from gigs, scrambling constantly with all the stress to find more work to a stable 9-5 job.

In the case of cartoons seasons is not always the best approach. Especially in shows with good animation. Batman: The Animated Series sort of had seasons, but you buy them in volumes now. I think the approach they are taking makes the most sense. I'd be fine if when a new episode comes out it comes out. That also used to be the approach of Strongbad and Homestarrunner. Except here there isn't just 2 guys and a girl making it.

Less than 0 Hype for Lego Movie 2. Lego Ninjago and Lego Batman already killed that hype.

Really? A gender politics joke in the Lego Movie 2 trailer as well? It was bad enough that the Wreck it Ralph 2 trailer did it, too.

Yeah...I already said my piece on how WiR2 looks like a colossal piece of cross-promotional Emoji Movie-tier garbage. I actually had hopes for Lego Movie 2. Guess I can cross that off my rapidly shrinking list of anticipated sequels to movies I adored. Between these 2 and Pacific Rim 2, it's like 2018 is specifically trying to piss me off.

That is 2 for 2. But you're probably reading too much into it. Tiny Toon Adventures had this sort of humor in it in the 90s. Animaniacs did as well. How I spent My Summer Vacation is practically a horror movie with references to Deliverance, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, and Arachnophobia. There was a lot of political, feminist, and ecological minded stuff in 90s cartoons. Captain Planet and Toxic Crusaders were almost PSAs. The fact that there was a kids cartoon based off of Toxic Avenger is hilarious. But back in the day they used to air everything, but censor it. Kids still attach themselves to things like Five Nights of Freddy.

Lego Movie 2 looks fun to me! They should've called it Mad Max Fury Brick Road. Plot looks like a retread of the first one "conformist society, then everyone gets kidnapped", but if the jokes are still there I'll be game.
Could be that great songs are colouring my judgement here though, what with Beastie Boys and then Daft Punk in the Ralph 2 trailer. It's almost like movie studios want to anchor their movies to previously existing positive memories using songs!

Ralph 2 does look a bit navelgazey indeed, why spend thousands of bucks animating a joke about how your movie title sucks - just change the title? But the princess jokes were fairly good. Not really interested in the whole Emoji movie meets Disneyland plotline though, but hey these films aren't really made for people like me anyway.


Transformers... Yeah I only saw half of the last one and none of the others. It was pretty incomprehensibly dumb. This looks like it at least goes for a typical E.T. story initially. Not gonna see it, but the director of this did Kubo & 2 Strings for Laika animation which is criiiiiiiminally underrated. Go see that one y'all, it's the type of movie we secretly wish young kids would see rather than those hyperactive computer animations haha.

and for some unknown reason, A Wrinkle in Time has jumped 1,643% and added 88 Theaters to gross $1.7M in it's 15th week, just to crawl past $100 Domestic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha the blue saturation and forests instantly made me go "this looks like a Fox production", look down and yup there it was in the video title.
I suppose it could be good since Shane Black is involved again, but honestly the trailer looks a bit crap. Already dislike all the male characters with their generic tough bro characterisations, and frankly the Predator design has always been so much worse than the Xenomorphs.
I hope it'll be good, but it looks much more action-y than stealthy horror. Ironically I think higher production budgets keep dragging both the Alien and Predator movies' quality down, see also Alien: Covenant.

The Mystique make up looked really cheap at one point.  We don't know what is going on in the scene.  She may be trying to mimic the look of an alien race.

Don't let the first movie's plot and version of the Dark Phoenix ruin your perception of this story.  The Dark Phoenix story is one of the better X-men stories.  Hopefully they go really weird with it.  Aliens, Phoenix Force Possession and such.  I like what they are hinting at.  However, the X-men movies have had a hard time sticking the landing.  Besides X-men 1 and 2 and First Class the movies have been lackluster.

It will never hit theaters in the US. and even if it does, I'm not gonna watch it, so it might as well not even exist in my consciousness.

This is my stance for all Marvel properties owned by other studios and not released under the Marvel Studio's moniker. I won't be watching the Venom film either.

With the Fox acquisition Operation Momma Disney Wants Her Marvel Babies Back has made a huge victory. Really, I think all that is left is Namour (not sure the rumor they got it back is true), Hulk film rights, and 1/2 of the Spidey rights. They are getting close and I'll keep doing my part to see them come together. All Disney needs to do is not make another blunder like firing James Gunn and we should be sitting pretty.

What makes you think it'll never be in US theatres?
Because Disney owns the X-men now and is going to integrate them into the MCU with a credits teaser in Avengers 4.

Pretty close to that, except i bet we don't see them till some time after the next big team up/event movie after A4.

True, but that wouldn't have a bearing in its release.  Since the movie is in its final stages it seems like a colossal waste to not release it now.

my previous post was done quickly from my phone just before a movie in the theater started.... let me elaborate now that I'm home.

The movie is a disaster. Has had major reshoots for large parts of the movie. Has 0 (zero) hype, and is likely way over budget with no money left for marketing.
I feel at best this gets a limited release as it is probably contractually obligated to release, and Disney takes the write-down on it.
I wouldn't even be surprised if Disney strikes a deal with Netflix to buy it (and New Mutants.... which I believe may have even gotten a name change) for an extension of Marvel Netflix releases, granting them a new "mature" character/series to air. Just so Disney doesn't have to taint Hulu or The Vault with it's release.

of course that's all speculation, but a lot can happen in 9 months.
(Yes, 9 months, as the date was just pushed back again
https://deadline.com/2018/09/dark-phoenix-alita-battle-angel-deadpool-gambit-release-date-changes-1202473229/)
It'll see it's release day, I just don't think it will be in the theaters in the US.
Disney will likely have full assimilation of Fox by then, and therefore full control of their release schedule. Fox has to keep pretending like it's business as usual, and all projects in production are still planned for release, but I think we all see the writing on the wall with this one, and I didn't need to watch the trailer to know the **** they flung, did not stick.

Oh I have no doubt it'll be ordinary at best. 

It does open up a means of concluding the Fox X-Men series though.  Have Phoenix just kill everyone.  And the effort in doing so ends up killing her too.

Then Deadpool can pop up and proudly announce the end of that X-Men series.

I actually love this idea.  But Nick Fury has to be David Hasselhoff. 

But seriously, You have a Phoenix movie end with the X-men victories, and all of a sudden they heroes start disappearing from the snap.  Like the Snap wasn't just in one dimension but all dimensions.

it better take out that Hasselhof Fury, the X-Men, the DVD of Fant4stic on the shelf, Fox News Studio as a whole while it's broadcasting on the disappearing of things Live on TV, and then also Sony Pictures along with Avi Arad, all the Amazing Spider-man movies and Venom (along with the future SonyNotSpideyverse movies).

He's a supposed movie journalist. this tweet was deleted as it was 1 day early on the embargo.
We should see more critic comments flowing out after the movie premiere tonite. We'll see if they are consistent with this one.

and I don't know if it was mentioned here or not, but Venom supposedly has no Spider-man/Peter Parker cameo, no mentions or even a hints in the entire movie.

the guy above was also one to "confirm" the Spider-Man: FFH news I posted in the Marvel Thread.
*character/costume spoiler Mysterio will have his fishbowl helmet*

edit:
Tom Hardy may not be too pleased about Venom either....

Quote
In an interview with ComicsExplained, Hardy admitted that all his favourite scenes had ended up on the cutting-room floor. When asked "What was your favourite scene to film?" he replied: "Things that aren’t in this movie."
[...]
The Taboo star continued: "There are like 30 to 40 minutes worth of scenes that aren’t in this movie... all of them. Mad puppeteering scenes, dark comedy scenes. You know what I mean? They just never made it in."

Apparently everyone but Tom Hardy thought it was a dark superhero movie aimed at an R rating....
Tom Hardy thought it was supposed to be a light hearted comedic Marvel flick

Unfortunately, the critics either didn't like it, or enjoyed it not for what it was supposed to be, but what it didn't know it accidentally became.

Assuming this is correct I'm not actually surprised.  Tom has said several times a large part of this gig was because of his son.  A light hearted comedy seems more like a genre one would do for their young children as opposed to a brutal R rated action movie.  That said, the above quote "Mad puppeteering scenes, dark comedy scenes" seem a bit more adult rated than a light hearted comedy. 

Oh well, will be very interesting to see what the reviews say.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 02, 2018, 03:53:36 AM
The reviews.... no actual reviews yet, but eh impressions liken this movie to Catwoman.... Daredevil.... Ang Lee Hulk.

Tom Hardy's performance is either Johnny Depp in the 1st Pirates movie or what's his name from Street Fighter. But either way is entertaining for how bad it is.

the majority of the ones I saw seem think it was pretty bad, with enough cheese factor to be enjoyable. calling it this years Fanst4stic.
calling it back to early 2000's superhero flicks... the bad ones.

Honestly, I had extremely low interest in this until the impressions told me just how bad it is. Now I may have to go in like I did Justice League, determined to laugh even if it's at the movie, and not with it. I left JL a happy camper, and it wasn't because I liked the movie, but because I enjoyed the hell out of it in ways they didn't intend. Venom sounds like it may deserve the same treatment.

What really makes me sad about the X-Men franchise is that it is one of the strongest Marvel Brands with some of the most recognizable, beloved, and marketable characters...they are adapting the most beloved stories into movies and yet STILL because of budget and script problems they are failing miserably.

In some ways Fox has been exhibiting Warner Bros level stupidity with their franchise.   They even were the first true comic movie franchise that COULD do an extended universe, but they blew it because they foxed too much on Xavier, Wolverine, Mystique, and Magneto.  Not every movie has to revisit that same old theme.  There is are really interesting thought experiments with mutants that could be had...but aren't.

Unless it was a victim of the EU Canon Purge then that is wrong as the Fetts were in fact Mandalorian. One of the later book plots was about how Boba Fett was actually in line for being the ruler of Mandalore and about why he left to become a bounty hunter.

But then again, people thought his survival of the Sarlaac was revoked from canon, but it was later confirmed that he survived.

Just an FYI - Audience score for Venom is 89%. It's much, much better than the abysmal reviews it's getting. Not saying it's great by any means, but it's definitely worth a watch. Honestly hoping for a sequel - Tom Hardy is excellent and the setup is there. I also hope Marvel Studios somehow does get Spider-Man involved.

The Venom review picture is also a bit murky since there seems to be a campaign to give the film bad reviews and promote A Star Is Born as this article highlights with some evidence. (https://news.avclub.com/lady-gaga-fans-have-declared-war-on-venom-1829464725)


Of course, if you really want to go down the rabbit hole of conspiracy, it could be getting early bad word of mouth to try and sabotage the movie from doing well at the box office in the hopes of having Sony give up it's Spiderman rights if they can't make much money from their movies. The Star is Born promos could be a cover to hide the true intent or give people an actual other option to watch instead of Venom to keep the film from making bank.

Well, technically Marvel and Sony's deal is over after Spider-Man Far From Home comes out. It's very possible that Sony can offer Tom Holland some money to appear in the Venom sequel, or to make a third Spider-Man movie with Venom in it.
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on October 05, 2018, 01:38:28 PM
I've heard both a 2 and 3 pic deal w/ Sony for Spider-man... I can't remember which one was the original take. IIRC Tom Holland has commented and said he was contracted for 3 Spider-Man movies, and a total 5/6 appearances as Spidey for Marvel.

I've also heard of the "A Star is Born/Anti-Venom" campaign.

I have to admit I never expected Venom to be any good. But the reviews painted it as something I might actually enjoy if I came in with the right mindset. It actually encouraged me to maybe go see it this weekend afterall. Especially after getting somewhat positive audience reviews, I just might go see it if someone suggest going.

I read on Collider it was for two solo movies, Civil War, and Avengers 3 and 4. Marvel Studios got to choose the cast, writer and director for both Spider-Man movies and gets all the merchandise money, and Sony gets all of the box office.

I watched it today and the CGI is really spotty in places. Noticeably so.

There's oine really funny moment in the film that is truly deserved by the elevator/lifts, and by the end i liked the buddy comedy aspect they had. Tom Hardy really went for it and it shows.

My issue is a UK thing...Venom is a PG13 in the USA because they wanted to allow for the possibility of getting spiderman for later movies. That's fine, except here all the MCU movies are 12A but Venom is a 15. Yet nothing in that movie deserved a 15. There's no blood, gore or aggressive violence, yet The Dark Knight with its pencil trick got a 12A.

In the UK language isn't even an issue, right? Eddie does say "**** it" one time, but Wolverine says **** in several of his movies that were PG-13, but that's pretty rare to get used in a PG-13 movie here. The scene you mention (really no need for a spoiler tag) was pretty great. That's what really sold the buddy stuff for me...well, and what happens when they go down right after.

Deadpool and Logan are the only the two other Marvel movies to get a 15 here in recent years, but language (especially if its a **** said a few times) isn't paid attention to. Both those definitely got it for its violence though.

I've never heard of a movie that has no sex scene (i dont count what we got as one), little language, no nudity and no blood or guts to get a 15.

Could end up beating Amazing Spider-Man 2 in the US in another week or so. Opens in Japan on November 2nd and China at...some point. Basically...there will be a sequel, no doubt.

I've watched 4 episodes so far (of 10, all 10 are up at once) and Homecoming is extremely eery. It's gorgeously well made in a deliberately unsettling kind of way. It doesn't have cliffhangers but gently teases its story out in a "why did you end there?????????!" kind of way - plus having 10x 30 minute episodes makes it extremely bingeable.

Once Upon a Deadpool (2) - (Now in PG-13) the 12 days before Xmas (Dec 12-Dec 24)
15 Minutes of extra footage and a new character.

RR filmed all the extra framing scenes in a single day under the radar.
and the best part is that $1 from each ticket sold goes to the **** Cancer Foundation, which has also been temporarily renamed the "Fudge Cancer Foundation" to adhere to the PG-13 theme.

The trailer has arrived. LMAO F. Savage is SAVAGE.

Dumbo looks pretty bad IMO. The CGI is pretty weak. Lion King should be great.
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Spak-Spang on November 23, 2018, 04:10:58 AM
The problem with Dumbo is that the CGI is going to make it hard to imagine that Dumbo can fly.  With traditional animation it is easy to suspend that belief.  Not so with this animation.

Lion King is going to work because all the animals are acting naturally, and there will be no humans.  Lion King should be much better than Jungle Book as well because the quality of animal animations are better.  However, I think if I had to choose I would rather just see the original.

So technically Disney never said it was live-action, though since it uses motion capture, it's live-ish action.

They could throw in some real zebras and it would be live action. Who said all that live action had to have people. Is Homeward Bound mostly live action?

Disney also has the option to launch the Catverse. I could see some Jungle Book and Lion King Crossover.
How far is Pride Rock from Wakanda?

Truth be told all of these Disney remakes have worn out their welcome for me. They feel less genuine with each release and each viewing of said release. Lion King stands a chance of being good, but it will either be a near shot-for-shot remake of the original (and why bother paying money for it when I have the original) or they wander off the path into mediocrity where the only success they get is on the coattails of the original.

Yeah, I'm pretty burned out of them. I may give Lion King a shot, but I have low expectations. Though it would be humorous to see a Hunchback remake attempt to be made considering the darkness of the original material.
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: nickmitch on November 27, 2018, 01:03:40 PM
I'm maintaining interest in the film because there's the possibility they turn "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" into a duet with Childish Gambino and Beyonce.  Even if it's shot-for-shot, the changes they can do with the songs could be epic.

Also, Beauty and the Beast took some risks with making changes, and some of them actually worked for me. This makes me hopeful they'll take additional risks with other films (though the Mulan rumors had me worried they'd gone off the deep end).
Title: Re: (Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Spak-Spang on November 28, 2018, 12:27:23 AM
Disney is in a really strange position with these live action remakes.  People could ask why make a live action, shot for shot remake?  However, whatever they add will be judged by hyper critical fans living off of nostalgia.  Personally, I think they should just market it as a new movie and not a remake or beloved classic.  Try to tell the story in a new way, but I know that isn't what they are doing.  I probably won't see the movies unless my wife or friends want to go...but I also know my dad won't see cartoons, but he would see a "live-action" Lion King.  So Disney gets their money with those people.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 28, 2018, 01:37:44 AM
Dumbo doesn't appear to be "shot4shot" and TLK has atleast 1 new song, but is more or less a "life-like" remake even if they add a few new scenes.

It will bring in the nostalgia crowd who will in turn bring in their multitude kids their friends, and their multitude of kids, and then all their parents too.
If it weren't for A4 launching 2 or so months before it, I would guess this as easily the Top Grossing movie of 2019.

But Disney is already on OVERLOAD next year as it is.....

Dumbo, Aladdin, TLK, Capt. Marvel, Avengers 4, and not even mentioning whatever else they have planned for next year to fill all the gaps.

Dumbo has also not aged well, so Disney is doing right by making changes.  I would like to see them do some more re-imaginative stuff with the adaptations, but Mulan rumors got a ton of backlash (at least on twitter), so they could risk losing the nostalgia crowd.

I'm hoping they do for Lion King similar to what they did for Beauty and the Beast which was use songs that were cut.  I know Timon has a verse in an existing song that was cut, and honestly, Hakuna Matata could use the extra lyrics (song length is criminally low).  The real opportunity is to remix some of the songs a little bit to let the actors/artists infuse some of their own personality into it.

I thought these were rumors, but they seem to be confirmed?
Quote
Several characters have been changed. Mulan’s love interest from the original, Li Shang will be replaced by new character Chen Honghui played by Yoson An. The villain has also been changed from Hun leader Shan Yu to a witch played by Gong Li. And unlike in the original, Mulan will have a sister played by the Chinese-Vietnamese actress Xana Tang.

It’s been confirmed that Mushu will appear in the film, but not as Mulan’s mentor. That honor has been given to human character, Commander Tung.

It's a different cut of the movie with 15 minutes of new different scenes.... so I don't think it will, but it would be interesting to see where it falls once the tally is done and combined.

I look forward to a sequel.

edit: There is alot more info in that link regarding S.U.M.C. (Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters.... :/) and how they MCU Spider-man deal may not extend past the next movie (or two) as Sony wants to go back to Amazing Spider-man like projects all on the back of Venom being as successful as it was (I saw it in the theater.... i did not praise it, but I did pay for it, so I am part to blame for this).

More Animated Spider-verse, less live-action Spidey-less Spider villains please.
Disney.... please buy Sony Pictures, and then sell off everything that isn't Spider-man to... wait... does Sony have the license to the Smurfs?... doesn't matter, just get Spider-man back to Marvel please, and also keep Sony Animation studios to continue work on this Spider-Verse for me. thanks

The year is almost over, the current poll has already been decided, and therefore we will need a new poll for 2019.

Should I put up another Top 3 "Superhero/Comic" list for 2019?

Captain Marvel
Avengers: End Game
Dark Phoenix (*might not happen)
Shazam!
Spider-Man: Far From Home
New Mutants (lol)
Joker
Glass
Hellboy
Star War IX (does this count?)

~or~
should we decide how many of Disney's big budget 2019 movies will cross the $1B mark?

Star Wars IX
The Lion King
Avengers: Endgame
Frozen 2
Toy Story 4
Captain Marvel
Aladdin
Dumbo

this list is insane... why are they releasing all this in the same year?
too bad we can't do both polls in the same thread


*word on the net is that Merger will be complete in January 2019.
Dark Phoenix may not get released in theaters, and New Mutants will not release in theaters, if it ever sees release at all

Disney is really hitting it on 3 fronts: Live-action(-ish) remakes, modern sequels, and Marvel.  With Star Wars to I guess round them out.

I think Endgame out of that list is going to be the only one crossing that billion mark.

And no, SW doesn't count as a super hero film.

Here is a running list of trailers for all the Disney Movies in the Poll.
some obviously are not in the running, but I added them just because.
1 is technically not a Disney movie... but then again, technically it kinda is, so I added it as bonus.
Point was more to show how close together a lot of these movies are to each other, and how that might affect the box office of one or another.

Vote for as many as you think will cross the $1Billion mark in the Box Office
then post which one you think will make the most, and estimate about how much.

i.e. Avengers: Endgame - $2.2B
or Avengers: Endgame - $700M/$2.2B

Highlights:
-Will Smith's CGI form is still under development.
-Jasmine has a new, human BFF and more characterization.
-The tiger is still in it.

I think it looks great, personally.

All I know about Hellboy is from the previous 2 movies.
I've never read the comic or watched the cartoon (there was a cartoon, right? I think it was based on the previous 2 movies though)

So to judge this trailer, all I know is it looks like they were going for a "more fun more action" approach. Looks like it could be fun. (wait for Netflix)

The comic books are very dark and gothic. a more serious tone, with some occasional humor. The cartoon was two short movies voiced by the movie cast. I wish they had made more.

This looks cheap and generic and feels like nothing matters.

Yeah that is just a bit weird.

It seemed ok, in a not a bomb kind of way. No chemistry between the leads, they don't come off as equal partners and they only cast him pretty much for the name. The comedy felt a little too improvisational, recycled, try hard. The retreading the beats is what gets me the most. You aren't going to recreate MIB1, it's not going to soft reboot, stop it, just do your own story. Thankfully unlike other movies they aren't throwing the old stuff under the bus because reasons.

Can't be worse than MiB2 right?

Man, I'm disappointed in how poorly Into the Spider-verse did. According to Box Office Mojo, the film didn't even make its money back domestically, and taking the marketing budget into account even the international turnout probably isn't even to get the film out of the red.

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=animatedspider-man.htm (https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=animatedspider-man.htm)

And speaking of disappointing bombs, apparently the "best Transformers movie since the 1st one" was a colossal flop, too. Granted, they picked a really stupid time of year to release it.

it's all backwards. Venom was supposed to do decent at best, and Spider-verse was to become the 2nd highest grossing animated movie of the year.

This would give us the sequels to spider-verse we want, and possibly even convince Sony to drop the Spidey-less Cinematic Universe.... which is supposed to be followed up with a Morbius movie and then who knows what's next after that.

Well, some good news: according to boxoficemojo, Into the Spider-verse is finally in the green with a worldwide return of $213 million on a $90 budget. It's made its money back domestically ($103 million), and the foreign box office should also pay off any marketing costs the film incurred. It's finally officially a hit.  :D

to mu understanding, that's not how BO Return works.

Calculate Domestic at about $0.50 on the $1 (theaters take the other half)
Calculate Foreign (except China) at $0.40
and then China at $0.25 on the $1 (theaters take a part, Gov takes another)

so depending on the breakdown of that $213, it might have just broke even.
which is fine, as it will make the rest on home release, then probably improve upon on the sequel.

I've been following the general rule of doubling the budget to account for marketing & return splits like that. Spider-verse did have some marketing, but likely not $90 million's worth. So given that the overall return is $213 million so far (and it'll have probably one more notable box office weekend before the results become negligible), I think we're safely past that $180 buffer amount.

Yeah, it's sad to see significantly worse animated films this year gross much higher, but hey...at least Spider-verse made back its money. That should validate that earlier sequel announcement you cited.

Just to follow-up on this, we have new totals today, as Spider-verse is now at $275,361,346 worldwide, $133,861,346 domestic.

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=animatedspider-man.htm (https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=animatedspider-man.htm)

Using the splits you previously provided...

$133,861,346 domestic return x .5 = $66,930,673 estimated domestic take for the studio.

$45,634,266 Chinese return (note: the Chinese numbers are a week behind) x .25 =  $11,408,566.50 estimate Chinese take for the studio.

141,500,000 worldwide return - $45,634,266 Chinese return = $95,865,734 return for the rest of the world.

$95,865,734 x .4 = $38,346,293.60 estimated take for the studio from countries outside NA & China.

$66,930,673 + $11,408,566.60 + $38,346,293.60 = $116,685,533.20 estimated total take for Spider-verse worldwide.

$116,685,533.20 return - $90,000,000 production budget = $26,685,533.20 current estimated profit for Spider-verse (we don't know what the marketing budget was).

Again. Saw it Yesterday those first couple of action sequences were hot. As someone who watches movies all the time. How the **** did they do that scene in the shack? You can say all you want about the undersea jizz, but that first scene was something special from a cinematography perspective. Like was it good CG, or did they use a drone as the camera? I've never seen a camera movie like that.

Unfortunately, we can blame Bill Murray for that one. He outright refused to sign onto decades of proposed Ghostbusters 3 scripts, and being one of the owners of the property he had veto power over any sequels.

That's why they eventually went with the 2016 reboot, since Bill Murray couldn't veto it. It's probably also why they had a ghost kill his cameo in a particularly mean-spirited way. It's also why a lot of people have said that the Ghostbusters 360 video game is the real Ghostbusters 3, since all of the original cast were in it for the final time in a script penned by them.

If this is Ghostbusters 3, I wonder what they said to him to get him to sign off on it.

Jason Reitman says  “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ’80s happened in the ’80s, and this is set in the present day.”

I like the Halloween 2018 approach.  It was the approach Aliens should have taken with Neil Blomkamp.

Well.... WTF would have put money on this happening 3 months ago....?
Aquaman is now the HIGHEST GROSSING DC MOVIE EVER - passing Batman

edit: Aquaman still doesn't come close to the Top3 of last year, but it is firmly set in that #4 spot, beating out Venom by at least $150M

I checked BOM and only found inflation numbers for US Domestic. DKR + $72k
It didn't come out that long, so Inflation isn't gonna that much higher.



But I was just looking for something to watch tonight, before I remembered The Punisher S2 came out. Ran across this show called Kingdom.

Anyone check this show out yet?

Feudal Korean Zombie show - subtitled
Looks pretty good though

It has been 10 years so a bit past the definition of not long. US inflation since is 16.63% so you need to add that onto DK numbers. Inflation is a big reason why we are getting so many "Billion" dollar movies instead of hundreds of million, much like how we have more "Billionaires".

$100 million use to be big budget back with Titanic. Now it's sort of medium. However that has increased far more than inflation.

While significant, crossing a billion isn't quite what it seems now days. It's still said that the quality of movies has fallen that much. Honestly 2018 was a bad year.

It wouldn't surprise me if Aquaman pulled in decent numbers simply because word got out that DC made a decent film for the first time in a while, which probably got more casual viewers interested again. Definitely have to say it's hard to imagine it being THAT much of a box office powerhouse when the plot is basically Black Panther under-the-sea edition.

Considering Marvel is probably going to see a very altered cast and Black Panther is received a ton of nominations/wins, this would not a surprising phenomenon.

Aquaman is also filling a pretty large gap that Marvel's left for superhero films.  Ant-Man and the Wasp came out in July and we're still waiting on Captain Marvel in March.  It's also the first December in a while that doesn't have a Star Wars movie.  Into the Spider-verse may be the superior movie, but I think being animated hurt it a bit and it seemed to be way less marketed to me.

Lets face it. Jon Favreau didn't direct this one.

This might be one of those cases where the Asylum version ends up being better. Actually, I should give them a call and be like "Look Guys I can direct a good one of these" The source material is public domain, so it should be given a go.

Better Choices for the Genie would be
Terry Cruise
Jaleel White
Isaiah Mustafa
Chris Diamantopoulos
Eddie Murphy
Jamie Foxx
Shaq
Gabriel Iglesias

Also should Aladdin be a 27 year old man? Shouldn't he be a teenager? Like 17ish. Like an Arabian Tom Holland? Then again the original tale took place in China. The hallmark version did that. I also can't help but think about how similar Aladdin and King Arthur are as stories.

edit: well im stupid. They ARE making a Mockbuster.

Someone suggested Jack Black, who would makes a great genie, but casting a white guy in the role doesn't make sense if they're going with the "has to look like the actor" route. The original was modeled after Robin Williams's face but wasn't made to actually look like him.

The Asylum version has a 60% chance of being bad, but the Netflix version... Now they could get any actor they want. They'd probably go straight to Andy Serkis.

I would definitely watch an Andy Serkis Alladin.

The streaming network and Marvel will create four new animated series, all executive produced by Jeph Loeb — Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., Marvel’s Hit-Monkey, Marvel’s Tigra & Dazzler Show and Marvel’s Howard the Duck. The four originals will culminate in Marvel’s The Offenders.

In what I'm sure will be great news for one particular NWR forum user, Star Trek Discovery has been picked up for a third season (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/star-trek-discovery-renewed-season-3-at-cbs-all-access-1180555).

I've been a fan from the beginning, but the show really seems to be coming into its own in season 2, so it's nice to see it'll be sticking around, if the dozen other Star Trek series currently in the works didn't already signify that.

I know some people find some of the Pokemon kinda creepy, but honestly, they're knocking everything out of the park as far as I'm concerned. The main character seems like a perfect fit, Ryan Reynolds works as the voice, just about every Pokemon looks fantastic, and you still don't know the full plot based on the trailers. I think the only movie I'm more excited to see this year is End Game.

I am mildly surprised that it got renewed but reasons were not surprising. A lot of personal ego,"Creative" hijacking, sunk costs, Streaming Wars has been piled into this for it to die. Also more importantly they are desperate to have something, anything to put on CBS All Access to keep people subscribing beyond the month some sports ball is on. The ratings for both STD and AA subs have been terrible. Reportedly STD cost $200 Million+ a season, good luck recovering that money.

It will never stop being a horrible show as it is just fundamentally broken. It has gotten to the point I can't even hate watch it. I could seriously script doctor it into a better show but not as a Star Trek show, nothing can do that.

Also R.I.P. Picard. Also LOL if any of it is going to be Trek but in name only.



Orville last week has had it's HOLY **** episode with me absolutely on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the second part. They have spent time from the very beginning building up to this. This isn't just Trek, it's bloody good TV.

Good to hear. I haven't been keeping up with the show since the first couple of episodes this season were pretty underwhelming. Been meaning to go back to it, but there's just so much other stuff to watch.

Apparently the first episode of this season was suppose to be the last of the previous. Why? eh?. But It did make the start too Moclan heavy.

With Alara leaving there has been some episode shuffling which changed the episode to episode pacing as the characters are just that integral. The second episode had me laughing like a madman. The porn alien is fantastic.

I'm pretty sure they haven't given numbers for All Access subscriptions and I'm a lot more sure they haven't given any specifics of how many people are watching Discovery, so you're clearly talking out of your ass again. If you don't like it that's fine, but there's no need to make things up to support your argument.

I don't need to make things up. CBS AA has 2.5 Million subs last year of August after season 1 of STD which did very little for them.

https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/cbs-all-access-reports-2-5-million-subscribers

It's all about sport ball.

https://deadline.com/2019/01/star-trek-discovery-afc-championship-cbs-all-access-subscribers-1202539191/

Quote
CBS All Access says the weekend combo of the season two Star Trek: Discovery premiere and Sunday’s AFC Championship Game pushed new subscriber sign-ups and unique viewers to record levels.

According to CBS Interactive, CBS All Access added more subscribers in a single weekend than ever before, breaking the previous record set during the 2017 series premiere of Star Trek: Discovery by +72%. In addition, this weekend also set a new record for unique viewers on CBS All Access.

Specific numbers were not released.

“The return of our biggest original series hit, Star Trek: Discovery and this weekend’s AFC Championship Game have propelled CBS All Access to new record-breaking heights,” said Marc DeBevoise, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive.

The AFC Championship Game marked the most streamed football game on CBS All Access to date, surpassing last year’s game by +158% in streams, +139% in time spent and +103% in average minute audience on CBS All Access platforms.

Now it reports 8 Million subs yet the company fell below expectations. One possibility is people signing up for a month and cancelling once they are done. Basically treating it as pay per view.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/14/cbs-reaches-its-8-million-streaming-subscribers-goal-two-years-early.html

Quote
Despite passing its subscriber goal early, CBS was down about 3 percent after hours after its results fell short of analyst expectations. The company reported earnings per share of $1.50 per share ex-items compared to $1.52 per share analysts were expecting. CBS reported revenue of $4.02 billion compared to $4.13 billion expected.

https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/the-orville-tv-ratings-fox-season-2-premiere-1203096981/

The Orville has these Live ratings when it released on New Years Eve.

Quote
“Orville” opened to a 1.5 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 and 5.6 million viewers in the Sunday 8 p.m. time slot, according to Nielsen’s live-same-day ratings. Those numbers will grow once delayed viewing is factored in. In September 2017 “Orville” also launched on a Sunday with a football lead-in to 8.6 million viewers and 2.8 rating in adults 18-49.

On the plus side, “Orville’s” sophomore year start is up 67% in adults 18-49 from the show’s season one finale in December 2017. It’s also up 56% in total viewers over the finale.

Think the percentage of AA subscribers would have to watch STD to match the Orville.

Part of why STD didn't get cancelled, CBS doesn't have anything else going for it.

So what’s going on?  It’s hard to say with certainty, but I suspect that the folks behind Discovery (and the executives at CBS) are not ignoring what what has happened with The Orville.  Fox’s show debuted to comparable ratings as Discovery‘s pilot, and, even though total viewership dropped after its premiere, The Orville still pulled in 3.5 million viewers in the Nielsen overnights and even higher numbers in the 18-49 demographic when adjusted for delayed DVR viewing over the following three nights.

By comparison, some estimates of viewership for Discovery via CBS All Access are as low as only 250,000 to 500,000 per episode.  (Actually, it’s closer to 250K, but I can’t tell you how I know that.)  And even if every subscriber to All Access was watching Discovery (which isn’t the case), that’s still a million viewers less per episode than what Orville gets domestically.

Even if that's accurate, which I'm pretty skeptical of, it's not surprising that a show on over the air TV has more viewers than a streaming only show. Getting worse numbers than The Orville isn't the same as ratings being terrible. It's also discounting the international numbers on Netflix, which CBS got a big deal for. If they weren't happy with how it's doing they would have pulled the plug by now, or at least waited until more than halfway through season 2 to pick it up, and they wouldn't have announced 4 or 5 more Star Trek shows.

"Too big to fail" among other things. They don't have anything else to put on the service.

There is a a lot of back ground politics at play, face saving money, egos getting pushed around as Bad Robot is trying to hijack their Trek the default instead of OG Trek. STD and all future shows are made under an alternate Trek licensing agreement making it mandatory that they have all to be different enough not to impinge on OG Canon. They are both called Trek but never the two will meet (thank god).

The Picard show will not be a continuation from the end of TNG or anything TNG at all as they legally can't. It falls under the same agreement as STD. So will all other shows.

Had STD made the impact it was expected of it the subscriber numbers should have been a lot more. The viewership made up of only 10-20% of subs, if we extrapolate the number to the new sub count which was driven by sports ball, it is only doing 1.6 million, half Orville on a bad day.

The numbers were so bad Netflix didn't pick up the second season nor the short episodes which no one brought no matter the price. The international audience was just as bad. The Orville also taps into the same international audience. It might be a rumour. It is said that Marco Polo and another show I can't remember was cancelled to free up money for STD's first season.

STD is on their 5th show runner which is never a good sign as it signals nothing but turmoil.

Star Trek Discovery may or may not be a colossal failure that CBS is trying to save face on for the sake of a content-less streaming service. Without an official statement from CBS, we'll never know.

That said, I think their refusal to provide actual viewership or subscriber numbers to be rather telling. I feel like if STD were an actual success rather than a Loss Leader, CBS would be providing those numbers.  Granted, Netflix doesn't provide viewership numbers either, but last I checked they were also $20 billion in debt so who knows?

Where did you see this? That sounds like another of the bullshit conspiracy theories from those same idiots who were ranting about SJWs in Star Trek and assuring people Discovery was going to be canceled. They've explicitly said Discovery takes place in the same timeline as all the other shows and the first 10 movies and that the Picard show takes place post-Nemesis.

As you said in your last point, nobody gives real numbers on streaming, so you can't really read too much into it. They don't have to, and since nobody else does they don't want to show their hand too much.

Prime =/= OG Canon. Prime is the timeline from the 2009 movie. That Spock isn't OG canon either. Kelvin is derived from "Prime".

Given the ridiculous crap they have done on the show I can't imagine what kind of hoops you would have to jump through to reconcile with itself let alone OG.

What numbers we do get doesn't have anything good to say about STD and that is reflected by events.

You don't need any of that dumb SJW **** to get to the meat.

OHHHOOOLLLYYYFUCCKK Orville, it just showed up everything since Return of the Jedi.

Even back with Family Guy they knew how to do fights. They gave the Chicken Fights an excellent cinematic feel no matter how incredulous it got. You reckon they got the same composer and orchestra for the music?

I've decided to just tune out all of the Live Disney Remakes because I'm just sick of them and their weird mix or beat-for-beat copying combined with their odd need to retcon the plot holes in old fairytales that didn't need to be retconned. If there is enough positive remarks post-release I'll wait for the discount theater or DisneyFlix to watch.

I liked the trailer and am pretty excited for it.  Aladdin is my favorite Disney animated film, and I love Will Smith.  So, this is for me.  Plus, everything else looks good about it.

The first showing of the Will Smith CGI was pretty bad...that coupled with the first screens showing him as human made people think he wouldn't be blue. This trailer was pretty good though, people should give it a chance. I do find it weird that Jafar is not in disguise when he takes Alladin to the Cave of Wonders though.

Also, the track record of the modern Disney Live Action remakes is about on par with their direct-to-DVD sequels: some were allegedly decent (I actually quite like Aladdin & the King of Thieves and Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, and Cinderella 3 is generally considered to be something of a hidden gem). Most were trash.

Wikipedia lists the following released films:

Maleficent (technically a Sleeping Beauty remake of sorts)
Alice in Wonderland
Alice: Through the Looking Glass
Cinderella
Jungle Book
Beauty & the Beast
Christopher Robin

Now, some of those shouldn't be considered live action remakes, as Maleficent mostly goes down its own path, and Christopher Robin is actually a sequel to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The 2 Alice films are also more like terrible sequels of their own to the original Alice in Wonderland film. However, for the purposes of this discussion most people still label them as "live action remakes."

Still unreleased are the following:

Dumbo
Aladdin
Maleficent sequel
Lady & the Tramp
Mulan
Cruella (101 Dalmations)
Pinocchio
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Lilo & Stitch
The Little Mermaid

I actually have some hope for that Hunchback film, as I really like that original film but it has major problems that a remake COULD address.

I completely forgot about that Cinderella movie.  Don't think I ever saw it.

But I don't think it's fair to lump the Alice movies, and Christopher Robin with the rest of them. Maleficent maybe, but like you said, it does its own thing.  But then again Mulan seems to be trying to do its own thing, and that should probably count.

Honestly I don't think the majority of those should count. Maleficent is definitely not a remake of Sleeping Beauty. Haven't seen Cinderella but that's the only one besides the two I listed that should count.

It shouldn't, and yet it should. It started as part of this "live action refresh" initiative Disney started, but grew into its own thing. I believe Alice was in a similar boat.

Remember there was a promising Snow White that got canned during production. Maleficent was referred to along with Cinderella and failed Snow White back in the early 2010's.

To be fair, we also got 2 Snow White adaptations in the same year recently (IIRC). They probably thought the market was saturated.

On the subject of Maleficent, it totally counts. It IS a remake of the original Disney Sleeping Beauty movie. Maleficent and the Good Fairies have the same designs, and they even went out of their way to remake Aurora's original reveal scene where Maleficent put a curse on her.



Also, I nearly forgot about this but check out this rocking, brand new song they wrote for Maleficent!  :rolleyes:


Now, the movie does have its own focus and direction that makes it more than a remake, but that doesn't mean it's not a remake. The plot still follows Aurora growing up, pricking her finger, and falling into her traditional Sleeping trance. There are huge divergences from the original story, but there's too much of the original story still in there to not call it a remake.


Regarding the Alice films, I'm inclined to count the 1st one considering that its success is what led to Disney greenlighting all these live action remakes of their animated properties in the 1st place.

I just found out that there is a movie missing from the Disney Billions Poll up top.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is being released in Oct 2019

I was unaware of a sequel this year....
time to update the poll I guess.

edit: Looks like Disney just moved up the release date from May 2020 to Oct 2019 just a week or so ago.

(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSzMI7D9vREsQJmZclpzKTcM9twxXYssRIurxg_oa3VfubJ9ZO2)

I wonder if it had to do with clearing the way for something big in 2020....
Honestly, I think Disney doing too much in 1 year. Not sure how they gonna space out Fox properties as well.

But the Alice series was.... Unappealing visually and otherwise. The first did good, but I think the second just looked like more of the things you didn't really like about the first.

Maleficent I don't think we'll have that issue.
Not that it will be minting a Disney $Bill, but I think it'll do as expected for a movie moved up 7 months ahead of schedule

I liked the first one and thought the visuals were actually pretty neat. The 3D was good in it too (iirc).

But the second one just wasn't as good of a movie.  More things you didn't like from the first and some new things you also wouldn't like.

Also, the second Alice was around the time Depp was beginning to experience falling out due to his financial issues and other problems. A lot of the movies he is attached to have been struggling or panning in some fashion (Pirates 5, Alice 2, NotAHarryPotterPreqel 2).

A good film series is designed to be a larger narrative. Act 1 Act 2 Act 3. Some movies become 3 act structures, some are forcibly made into 3 act structures. The only successful 3 act movies I can think of are Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Back to the Future, and The Dark Knight. Others aren't as good. I can see Guardians of the Galaxy becoming one of the greats too.

Avengers is not a trilogy, and a rare case in a series of movies where the third one is really good.

I joke, but Captain America & Winter Soldier are really good movies. Never cared for Civil War, though. Yeah, it lacks a lot of the just utter stupidity of the comic storyline, but it's still basically an Idiot Plot. If anyone stopped to talk for a second, the movie would be over.

Yeah, I was goin to say, I saw a Dark Phoenix trailer before Captain Marvel...

You forgot Human Centipede.

I still haven't seen part 3. I wasn't in a rush.

ehh.  I honestly believe the first one is a good movie.  Very well made and does what it intends to.  It's never going to win any awards, but worth a watch if these kinds of movies are a thing you're into. The gore is kept to a minimum and, all things considered, tastefully done.  The... other aspect is touched upon, of course, but is never really made the center of the focus,

The *second* movie... yuck.  I don't really recommend it, even if you thought the first one was the best movie eer made, I still wouldn't recommend it,  The first movie is more of a psychological mind-****.  This is pretty much a gross-out snuff film.

The *third* movie... If you liked the first and made it through the second - you should watch it, but you're not missing anything if you don't.  It has none of the mind games of the first, about 10% of the gore from the second, and plays out like a parody of the premise of the first two films.

It played before Captain Marvel, and somehow I still missed it. I must've been playing on my phone or something. I have no faith in any of the Fox mainline X-Men movies. Good thing after Dark Phoenix (which Disney will hopefully put on limited release before putting it out of it's misery quickly) we don't have to worry about that anymore.

Update to Disney's Billions: Captain Marvel sitting at $910M WW as of this weekend. like to cross the mark by next weekend!! 1st movie of the year, and already hit the mark once... how many more cross that line, and will Disney be able to generate $10B WW at the Box Office this year?

Ten is such a tough number, but they can possibly do it.  IW crossed $2 billion, so Endgame should do at least that.  Now, EpVII did $2B, but EpVIII only did $1.3B.  So, I only expect EpIX to do ~$1B.  Toy Story is good for $1B (consistent with 3). 

Frozen did $1.2B, but the album itself went platinum the year after it came out (and I think was the only album to do so that year?).  I mention that to say a) the movie was more popular than its box office (obvi) but also to point out that the audience could likely be starved since it's been a while.  So, I expect that to hit $2B.

So that's:
CM - $1B
A:Eg - $2B
TS4 - $1B
Fro2 - $2B
SW EpIX - $1B

That's $7B right there.  Between Dumbo, Aladdin, Lion King, and Maleficent could reasonably do $3B collectively.  And I expect LK to do $1B.

Agreed.  Their cut of FFH should get them over the hump if their live actions remakes under perform.  Maleficent 1 only did ~$750M, so I kinda assumed Dumbo and M2 would do less (~500M+) and Aladdin would do closer to BatB, which did $1.2B.

Disney taking all profits from whatever manages to get released from here on out.

as far as post credit scene for Dark Phoenix... right after the final scene, the image zooms out to reveal that it was Deadpool reading a book to a group of young mutants. He slams the book shut, and then makes a comment about how terrible fan fiction can be sometimes and how he prefers his comic panels straight from the source (brown nose Marvel Studios moment).

There should definitely not be any direct connection to the MCU though.

unless the one waking from the cold sweat of a bad dream was Scarlet Witch as she screams "NO MORE MUTANTS!!!" and then we can all watch in real life as New Mutants fades from existence.

she will later, after getting her Thor-like power boost, recall that bad dream, and then actually create mutants because why the **** not.

Disney taking all profits from whatever manages to get released from here on out.

as far as post credit scene for Dark Phoenix... right after the final scene, the image zooms out to reveal that it was Deadpool reading a book to a group of young mutants. He slams the book shut, and then makes a comment about how terrible fan fiction can be sometimes and how he prefers his comic panels straight from the source (brown nose Marvel Studios moment).

There should definitely not be any direct connection to the MCU though.

unless the one waking from the cold sweat of a bad dream was Scarlet Witch as she screams "NO MORE MUTANTS!!!" and then we can all watch in real life as New Mutants fades from existence.

she will later, after getting her Thor-like power boost, recall that bad dream, and then actually create mutants because why the **** not.

I think the Deadpool end credit would be a perfect way to close out that universe in a tongue and cheek funny way.  I know people love that universe, but honestly the X-men franchise has been pretty hit or miss with probably only true X-men movies and 2 Wolverine movies that are worth anything. 

Though, I think that it would also be very rude to the true fans of the franchise and therefore won't happen.  But honestly since Deadpool and the X-men franchise seems like really different worlds I can see it working.  The Deadpool X-men universe feels like it COULD be the real Marvel universe.

The money is already spent.  I guess they think they can make up the money spent with the launch.  New Mutants looked way more interesting than Dark Phoenix.  I am guessing that there will not be a reboot of the X-Men franchises instead they will just be included in a Marvel storyline somehow.  Though honestly, I kinda wish the series will be shelved for a year or 2...and then be introduced again later. 

Personally, I could see X-men vs. Avengers making a good 2 part series that could be a more intimate sequel to this massive Infinity War saga.

I think that's a very safe bet.  I'm expecting that all you'll see with X-Men is a single character (probably Wolverine) turning up in an existing movie.  That'll branch off into X-Men focused stuff. 

Having said that, I would dearly love if Hugh Jackman brandished the claws one more time in Endgame.  He has always said he wanted to join the MCU, and this would be the perfect time to send him off and pass the mantle to a new actor.  It'd also be the perfect time to finally have him don the yellow and blue.  He's snuck into an X-Men movie before, I am confident he could do it again.    Imagine the roar of the audience if Hugh suddenly walked into frame and released the claws for the final confrontation.  "Need a hand bub?"

Wolverine is honestly a pretty low level powered character in the MCU.  I could totally see them recruiting anyone left in the universe to help with the battle and it just happens to bring one lone mutant out from hiding.

Cap could be all "I know a guy...", echoing the Falcon/Ant Man scene from Civil War, and hinting toward the WWII relationship between the two.  Sure, it opens up a whole can o' worms, but it'd be fun.  And I don't even like Wolverine as a character.

Looks like Shazam is on track to make about $53 million and Pet Sematary should be around $24 million. Kind of sad to see that what a lot of people consider "the best DCEU movie by far" to make such a small impact...though better than initial estimates. Oh well. I thought Pet Sematary would have done better.

It seems like there should be a slight lull in the gap, but the hype machine is too big and Shazam looks like a poor substitute to fill in.

But then again, Endgame might have a VERY long theatrical run, and then you hit Spider-Man.

I mean have you seen the Disney 2019 list of films it it releasing.  Basically Disney is kinda a crazy unstoppable company with movies this year.  There was very few spots to put Shazam.  Maybe Warner Bros was trying to be an alternative, or maybe they were trying to use the comic book movie hype train to also help its own movie.

That's true, but it competes in the same demo as Star Wars, and putting it after Spider-Man would have it come out in Oscar season.  Not sure if that's a better or worse slot.

Probably not, but dammit I hope so.  I'd love to see it dump on James Cameron.  I'm certainly no expert when it comes to this kind of stuff, but from what I understand Avatar did as well as it did because of a perfect storm of good luck and circumstance when it was released. 

Having said that, if any movie can take the crown off Avatar then it'll be Endgame. And unlike Avatar, Marvel deserves it.  So much work has gone into this franchise, unlike Avatar which just leeched off a shiny new novelty tech for its appeal.

He is a lion. That makes sense. But since it is a movie about semi-anthropomorphized Lions we'll say he felt sorry for his nephew. Probably regrets not killing him later on.

What would really be great is a David Attenborough commentary track.

Avatar was a bad movie.  The effects were cool for the time, but really that's all it had going for it.

Titanic is just too long.  I'm usually for longer movies and like Leonardo DiCaprio, but that film feels like a slog.  So, to me, it's a bad movie.  But I do get why it's pretty highly rated.

Quote from:  boxoffice reddit
Tomorrow will see the release of Premium formats, providing a further boost which should propel Endgame to over a 1 million tickets, joining Infinity War as the only other movie to pass the mark. Difference being Endgame will do it in its 3rd day of presales, not the night before release! It will therefore also surpass Age of Ultron's final take tomorrow.
Barring a massive slowdown, it is currently on track for 1.8 - 2.0 million tickets presold, which is an absolutely phenomenal number given Infinity War had the previous best at ~1.15m tickets.

Why is Godzilla scheduled for the end of May? Warner makes such baffling choices sometimes, but sure let's release two Legendary Pictures movies within a month of each other, both with significant stake in the (pre-)teen boy demographic. Although Pikachu is of course much more of a 4-quarters film than Gojira.

By the way, in regards to the poll, I'm ready to make another "New Mutants will pass 1 billion" style bold prediction: Detective Pika is going to blow past the 1 billion Dollar mark. Don't think it'll outgross Avengers 4, since the last one made 2 billion, but if Pikachu makes 100 million on opening weekend, you heard it here first.

If that movie somehow turns out bad, their marketing department deserves a raise for making it seem super fun.

Sonic needs to be put out of his misery.  His design is grotesque.  Seems like we have Ace Ventura with a mo instead of Robotnik as the villain.  I will admit I've missed this kind of performance from Mr Carrey but I am still decided whether I could take the rest of the movie. 

Also, why did they decide to go straight to world ending stakes?  Did we really need to have a world ending scenario in a Sonic movie of all things?

Having absolutely no nostalgia for the original games would help me not take this as an insult.  Might be a home viewing one day.

Early reviews for John Wick 3 have been absolutely awesome. "Visceral Action" I think sums it up.

and Detective Pikachu reviews have been just as positive.
"by far the best videogame movie ever, and exactly what was needed, with a glimpse of what it could become..."


meanwhile.... Sonic may be undergoing a re-design after backlash from the trailer.
Producer or director or whoever it was. stated #"gottafixfast."

Detective Pika Pika is a movie for pokemon fans. has it's laughs, good visuals, and is overall entertaining. not much to the plot, but they worked the little they had to well enough.

so overall positive, but not exactly the more glowing reviews tbh.

So they plan to rotate Star Wars and Avatar...not sure how they think Avatar can continue at that pace when its taken years to put out the second one (and it was about a decade of work to put out the first one).

Star Wars needs a break. The fans will settle down in that time, but hopefully the studio also re-hones their focus and gets their act together so the next films aren't such a mess. Marvel/MCU set the standard for how Star Wars should have been done, so hopefully they take advantage of a moderately clean slate after Death of Franchise releases in December.

Post by: UncleBob on May 12, 2019, 09:07:15 PM
Is there much interest in TS4 beyond the next Pixar film?  Seems like most diehard fans of the series are lukewarm, at best, on it.

I don't see TS4 or Frozen 2 breaking $2B.  Star Wars is also quite unlikely to repeat the success of TFA. All depends on word of mouth early on.  Skywalker can do almost anything.

But, considering Disney is at about $4B now and has six big releases left, if they can average $1B each, they can hit it.

SW should.  The only one of Disney's that hasn't is Solo - and it isn't surprising.

Beauty and the Beast hit $1B - and Lion King/Aladdin are from that same era and will hit a lot of those same nostalgic notes, whereas Dumbo did not.

TS3 and Frozen 1 both hit $1B... but I really haven't seen much excitement for either.  I'm not sure Frozen 1 is old enough to have gone from "kid stuff" to nostalgia for the intended audience.  But, if anyone can push those buttons, it's Disney.

Maleficent?  Did anyone really want a sequel to this?

I'm kinda wondering how X-Men will end up.  No way it'll break $1B... and Disney seems to be downplaying the marketing for it.  My gut feeling is if it were just terribad, they would have yanked it from the schedule the moment the ink was dry on the FOX deal to not risk damaging the Marvel brand.  I suspect it will be an *okay* send off to the FOX-Men that will please fans of the series, but not much else.

It's a long shot, but Disney's action blockbuster side of things looks really light between X-Men and Star Wars.  Come on, Disney, give us a six hour Infinity War/Endgame double feature with bonus scenes (including Ant Man and the Wasp, Ragnaok, GotG2, and Captain Marvel end credit scenes tastefully spliced in) and push that needle higher.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 13, 2019, 12:23:49 AM
Aladdin.... well, word of mouth on that has been kinda lukewarm from early impressions. I suspect this will ride to north of $650M especially if it catches big in the middle eastern countries.

Toy Story 4.... I'm not so sure on. I've seen next to no interest in it, but who knows once they start showing actual clips of the movie closer to release. I'm sure it'll do atleast north of $700M WW

Lion King will get a massive push, and will likely ride that wave to $1B as well. It will likely make a little over if all goes well, so that will pick up some slack for Aladdin not hitting the mark

Frozen 2 will get that massive marketing train near the holidays. I expect $1B to be a marker for this one. Hopefully it performs anywhere close to the original, but I think the glamour has worn off on this (totally anecdotal as my daughter and her friends "don't like Frozen" anymore). But it's extra's will hopefully make up some ground for Toy Story 4

Maleficent... hmm... $500M+ WW on that. I'm not sure what the first did, but I will peg the sequel to fall around the same total if not just a bit higher.

Endgame has a few $100M more left in it's tank... so between that and Captain Marvel, it has already  picked up slack from Dumbo's under performance and then some.

So that leaves SW:TRoS to bat clean up and bring Disney home. can it make $1.7B+?
I'm not sure. I know the last SW movie left a bad taste in tons of fans mouths. But the right marketing could pull all of them right back in like they never "left" to begin with.
Title: Re: (NEW Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: Stratos on May 13, 2019, 11:27:15 AM
I'm less optimistic on the upcoming films. A lot of fans in the target market were not happy with Beauty and the Beast because of a number of problems, from retconning to fix "fairytale plot holes" and some design choices. It did well because of nostalgia, but I'm not thinking the future remakes will get a free pass. They will still do well, but not to the level of BatB. Lion King will probably outperform Aladdin though.

TS4 is understandably lukewarm because 3 was such a solid send off. I'm sure a lot of folks are understandably wary of a 4th sequel. Should do well enough in spite of this, but I'm thinking not expecting much higher than 1B WW.

Maleficent...hopefully they rectify the problems of the first, mainly that they had no clue why people liked her. People want her to be a villain, not some fallen hero with a tragic back story. I don't expect it to pass the first one by much if at all.

Judging from how sales of Last Jedi tapered off real fast, and the lasting feud between fans and Lucasfilm folks, I got a hunch this one won't come anywhere near TFA. It will still do respectably on the name alone, but it won't come anywhere close to challenging the top contenders of the year. Remember, TLJ died in the China market (http://fortune.com/2018/01/18/star-wars-the-last-jedi-chinese-theaters/), getting pulled from theaters due to low sales after only 2-3 weeks.

With Toy Story, I just feel like the franchise had a good send off with the 3rd one. And that was hyped because it had been so long since the second one. With TS4, there’s less novelty in the return, and honestly, I haven’t seen it get much of a push. Is there still only the one trailer?

If Disney really wanted to cause some heart attacks, they should bring Ursula back to her roots and find a drag queen to play her.

As for the casting of The Little Mermaid... eh.  I kinda wish they'd stop using big name actors to carry the films... but ever since the Robin Williams/Aladdin fiasco, that's unlikely to change much.

Should have gone with Latina for Little Mermaid. Other than the "TV only" Ellena of Arbalor (sp?) there is no representation in the Disney Princess line. But my only concern was whether she would have her trademark red hair or not. Either way, still not keen on these remakes in general since they feel like soulless cash grabs.

Yeah, that's my point. Give the character her red hair. Hell, dye the hair red like the did in Aquaman for Mera,

Mulan without the dragon seems dull.

Mulan has had such a storied development, that I was shocked to see the trailer and that it was still coming out this year.

They had to re-confirm songs and Mushu last year (https://thedisinsider.com/2018/09/06/exclusive-disneys-mulan-remake-to-feature-music-mushu-to-appear/[/url).  But I think the status of songs is that they won't be sung by the cast, and Mushu may or may not be a dragon.

Lion King is currently sitting at a 55 on Metacritic (https://www.metacritic.com/movie/the-lion-king-2019?ref=hp) and a 57% on Rotten Tomatoes (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_lion_king_2019).

I'm already planning the MASS field trip with everyone near me that has kids to go to one of these theaters together at the same time to watch this movie.

I should have planned it 2 weeks ago though, and not roughly a little more than a week out from viewing day.

Possibly 27 people.....
10 Adults + 17+ children?

18 tickets bought. 16 claimed, so far.
potential 13 others (5 adults + 8 children) still undecided, but I didn't want to wait for them, as the seats I could book would likely be gone before they made up their mind.

and I'm offering to buy all the tickets (to be reimbursed) because I got my DMA account hooked up to Fandango, so I want those Disney points. LOL

PSA: Avatar Record really close to meeting it's Endgame

(https://i.imgur.com/GNHHOzL.png)

$7.2M world wide to go.
re-expansion has yet to hit several countries in the next few weeks, some even next month
and I can only guess Disney is still working on getting a brief re-release in China for that final eclipsing BO push.

edit: I didn't have Aladdin on my $B watch list..... however 2 people did.
Aladdin is so close to making that list.... does it have another $40M in the tank world wide!?

(https://i.imgur.com/vtJGqSA.png)

edit 2: I also didn't pick Far From Home to cross the $Billi mark, but looks like that's about to happen too.
Toy Story 4 is also very likely to crawl into that Billion$ box too

how does Lion King affect things next week? can LK become the fastest "animated" movie to cross the $B mark?

QUESTION!!!

Who here is so far right on all Billion $ movies?
I did not pick Captain Marvel, I did not pick Aladdin, and i did not pick Spider-man: Far From Home
There are only 2 people who believed in Aladdin, and even though it hasn't crossed that line yet..... it pretty much guaranteed at this point.

Disney's Box Office $Billions Chart Update:

(https://i.imgur.com/6og4JWx.jpg)

and we all know the 2 most recent (Aladdin and TS4) are very likely to cross that $1B mark
Spider-Man looks to get there too. That don't count for Disney, but it was made by Marvel, so it's the bonus marker.

Up Next:
Lion King - easy $Billion
Maleficent 2 - that's an easy 1/2 $B and likely to get close to 3/4 $B
Frozen 2 - another easy $B
Star Wars Ep9 - 1-1.5B

I think $4B in the next 4 movies is very doable.

I'm gonna have to watch that one later, but I'm not even sure what to say about this next one....

hopefully they fix the CG, but uncanny valley was the first phrase that came to mind on this one.

CATS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtSd844cI7U

if the goal of the movie was to ummm... "sexualize"(?) or even humanize cat-people, like I assume was what was being attempted in the few gifs I've seen of the broadway play earlier today, then I think they really need to make some changes to the cg work, because the faces are a little off-putting, especially around the mouth area.

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/366417781245214721/601532770208186387/CATNIP.gif?width=400&height=167)

I can guess a very specific internet group of people that may like this, but I'm not sure how this appeals to most others.... unless they were huge fans of the broadway play.

I didn't see a release date though, so maybe they fix the visual issue they have with this....
or maybe it's just me not being interested in the slightest by this movie

watch it make a $Billion at the BO tho. LOL /s

I really hope they keep any CGI down to the most absolute minimum. The biggest selling point of the original was having actual planes with a couple models. They even fired off a real missile. The cinematography and editing was impeccable, they recycled footage without you noticing. I don't want to watch videogame cutscenes.

CATS had a big problem.  If they went all practical then it could have just been the Broadway Show and it isn't truly special. 

They could have actually gone fully animated and use real cats, or animated like a traditional Disney movie, but with live action Disney that isn't popular anymore, and it kinda runs the idea that these cats represent people not real cats. 

I think it is too late to fix the CGI.  I think the people working on it are pretty proud of the work...it isn't bad animation or CGI, it is actually quite good, but the overall effect is just creepy.  So for whatever reason, that is way we are getting. 

I wonder if the animators just put more cat like features like cat noses on the faces if it would help.

I watched some segment a little while ago on how they were doing it, and it looked like it could turn out interesting. They built large sets and had tons of telemetry data. All to make it look like the stage play. I looked up the director and it's a competent director. Is this a producer issue?

It boggles me that you would spend 50 million dollars to make it look like this:

Batman Beyond: The Complete Series will be released on BluRay on October 28th, 2019.

https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=25441 (https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=25441)

Before you get too excited after how awesome the restoration work on Batman: TAS was, there is a catch this time:

"Of the 52 original Batman Beyond episodes, 41 have been fully-remastered from either their original 35mm film source or the uncommon format "OCND," the original camera negative digital (a digital scan of original negative). Lines and resolution have been enhanced, and dust and dirt have been removed – however, cell dirt remains to not disturb the original picture. Included in the remastering was the removal of grain, resulting in enhanced colors. The remastering process does cause a slight aspect ratio change (approximately 3% loss of screen image).

Due to time-worn irreparable damage, the remaining 11 episodes were "Smart Rezzed" from standard definition Digibeta video. The process provides for significant enhanced resolution and improvement of the original source material in converting from standard to high definition, though it does sacrifice horizontal lines for clearer image and color representation. While still a marked improvement over the original video, viewers will notice a slight difference between the Remastered and the Up-Rezzed final footage. The 11 affected episodes are: "Eyewitness," "Final Cut," "The Last Resort," "Armory," "Sneak Peek," "The Eggbaby," "Zeta," "Plague," "April Moon," "Sentries of the Lost Cosmos" and "Speak No Evil." "

So yeah, it's disappointing that half of season 2 will be an upres due to WB not taking care of their film negatives properly, but I'm thrilled to see Batman Beyond get the BluRay restoration it really needed. Those DVDs looked terrible.

The fact that they skipped Superman and went straight to Batman Beyond makes me think that Superman either had more substantial restoration work needed...or they lost even more of the assets than they did of Batman Beyond.

Re: CATS

Making it look like the Broadway play is dumb. This is a movie, make a movie. I think they should've just animated the whole thing. Maybe not realistic, CGI cats; I think full on cartoon animated animals (like Top Cat or Garfield) would be better.


Re: HBO's Watchmen

I liked Watchmen for what it was and didn't think it needed to be expanded upon. But the trailer looks interesting, so I'll be checking it out.

Guess who the newest memeber of the $Billion Movie Club!?

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/spider-man-far-home-box-office-crosses-1b-a-franchise-first-1226598

Far From Home took 23 days to cross $1B
making it the 5th fastest MCU movie to cross $1B (behind EG, IW, A1 and IM3)
and now the 13th fastest movie ever (according to sources)

This is also Sony's 2nd ever entry into the $B club.
and for comparisons sake, this is Marvel Studios...... 9th $B entry

and in other news, Endgame has officially passed up Avatar for the #1 Grossing Movie of All Time with $2.791B and counting.

This is Marvel Studios 2nd $2B movie

Who would we want for the next villain?  Assuming there are no Sony crossovers it won't be symbiote based.

Kraven seems to be a popular choice but I don't know if I'd like to see him as a main villain. 

Maybe Chameleon?  He'd probably potentially be a bit too similar to Mysterio. 

Having thought a bit more about it, maybe Alistair Smythe would be an interesting way to go?  Bringing in the Spider-Slayer.  Maybe they could also bring Black Cat into it.  Has Felicia been cast in the MCU yet?

I like the idea of Spiderman and Black Panther teaming up, and after a few close calls with Peter Parkers family almost being murdered he goes into hiding in Wakanda, and then Kraven hunts him down.  Spiderman would totally work in a Jungle like survival environment.  But of course could have a set pieces in New York because that is important for Spiderman.

Um.. you forget that Wakanda contains a city that looks like this:

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel-cinematic-universe-guide/images/2/22/Golden_City.png/revision/latest?cb=20181029141541)

but you also forget that Wakanda set up embassy's around the world. I'm sure NYC would have one.

I'm sure Kraven would be great though.
but both Coogler and Watts want to use Kraven for their next movies.... unfortunately, so does Sony.
On the off chance that Marvel can get Sony to give up Kraven.... who gets him first? I doubt Kraven would show up in both movies.... would he? Maybe a Spider-Man/Black Panther 2 parter crossover!?

hmmm.....

But the next Spidey villain has to be someone that will join the Sinister Six.

I like the idea of Kraven being the villain. I think it fits with where the story is going. There's one version of scorpion that also fits (iirc, was made specifically to fight Spider-Man), but since he was in the post credits for HC already, I'm not sure they'd go in that direction.

I would like to see them pull one of the bigger villains like Doctor Octopus or Green Goblin into the MCU.

Yup. (https://mashable.com/2017/04/04/movies-theaters-dying-cinemacon-pvod/)

People thought for a while that Netflix would pull everyone from the theatres.  I personally think the influx of video streaming services will keep people going to the movies, but more than that, there's probably a lot more money to be made in theatrical runs than streaming exclusives or doing day-and-date releases.

Post by: UncleBob on July 29, 2019, 10:17:54 PM
Exactly.

It's similar to the video game crash in '83 (although not as drastic).  Hate Disney all you want, but their billion dollar box office films are putting paying customers in seats, something theaters have been struggling to do for several years now.

If a particular theater chain doesn't like it, they can just not carry Disney movies.  Let them see how mean seats they can fill with Shazam! and John Wick 3 (which has done fairly well, all things considered).

Disney doesn't need theaters.

It is dying, just not in that way. Fewer and fewer movies are viable with budgets absolutely exploding. I don't watch Disney as they are creatively bankrupt(Deadpool exception). Disney is keeping things afloat monetary for now but no company is invincible and their slice is too big now.

DC is just outright bad movies. A lot of "Product" elsewhere. Very few Nolan/Taratino type/class out there.

Year on year I go watch less and less movies even though I get cheap tickets.

Post by: oohhboy on July 30, 2019, 03:22:22 AM
Every comparison needs inflation adjustment. Gone with the Wind was crazy with the format that died with the times. The last road show movie I think was The Hateful Eight. I wish I got to see it in that 70mm format. Even on a normal screen it looked crazy good.

The low and mid end are getting squeezed out by event movies. The hype budget can easily be as big if not bigger than the movie. That kind of advertising isn't doable and drowns out everything else. Lots of focus on front loading the views, you don't get the long tail. You smash your first 2 weeks or your done which as a side effect puts out nice looking hype numbers which feeds the cycle.

The sad thing with the Endgame is the double dipping laughable extra materiel re-release they did to crawl over that misconstrued goal. Embarrassing. Plus Avatar has had no lasted cultural impact other than being a punchline.

Jordan Peele seems to have managed it, but you're largely right about the budgets. Westworld and GOT are at 10m/episode, some of the Apple+ stuff is coming in at 15m/episode and Discovery is reported at 8m/ep. But the season lengths are shrinking to British TV levels (maximum 13, commonly 6-8).

Post by: NWR_insanolord on July 30, 2019, 03:55:31 AM
The shorter season length has been the norm for premium cable dramas for a long time, we're just seeing more of those now and they're much more mainstream. It's actually kind of jarring to go back and watch something like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine now, where it has a lot of the trappings of those kinds of shows but with 25 episodes a season.

I don't see theaters going away. There are still plays. There are still live concerts when you can just pop in a record into your turntable. The type of movies people will want to see at a theater will be mostly Tokusatsu. Then after that the works of super directors. Horror will always do pretty well too.

I don't get much extra benefit out of watching RomComs and indy flicks at a theater.

The sad thing with the Endgame is the double dipping laughable extra materiel re-release they did to crawl over that misconstrued goal. Embarrassing. Plus Avatar has had no lasted cultural impact other than being a punchline.

Actually, from what i heard, Endgame actually beat Avatar's total before the re-expansion, if you count the Avatar total, before it's re-expansion.
So in actuality, Endgame beat Avatar twice, before and after re-expansion. and in far less than half the time.

The movie experience is expensive and the home experience is more comfortable and cheaper. I only see value in seeing the event movies in the theater. But now every movie seems to try and be an event movie. So I am not even doing that.   

Yeah, same here. The last film I saw in theaters was Into the Spiderverse, and that was mainly because I wanted to support that film. Haven't gone to the theaters since then, and I don't expect to do so any time soon. There's just nothing in the theaters I want to see that I can't just wait to release on home video. My 55 in. 1080p TV, PS4, bed, and my nearby fridge & microwave provide a far better experience than anything I can get at the theaters in my experience (and for overall a far lower cost).

The Endgame "re-release" only added like $6 million to its take, if that. And inflation is only part of what needs to go into comparing ticket sales. The movie going audience today is a completely different one than it was when Gone with the Wind came out, or even Avatar. Endgame was selling out for days.

As part of Disney's continued efforts to purge anything that threatens their increasingly-homogenous lineup, they have canceled nearly 300 films Fox had at various stages of production. Notable titles include a Mega Man movie, a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen reboot, a 2nd Assassin's Creed film, a Flash Gordon reboot, a Magic the Gathering film (for some reason), and a Fraggle Rock movie.

https://variety.com/2019/film/news/disney-fox-xmen-marvel-studio-losses-1203294296/ (https://variety.com/2019/film/news/disney-fox-xmen-marvel-studio-losses-1203294296/)

A list of the projects Fox had in development:

https://imgur.com/a/dKxcoRv (https://imgur.com/a/dKxcoRv)

Make no mistake: there's a lot of crap in there, but there's also some stuff I would have seen. I didn't hate the 1st Assassin's Creed film, so I'd be interested in seeing a 2nd. After all, the first game in the series was awful, while the 2nd turned out amazingly well. I'd also have been interested in seeing what Fox would have done with the Mega Man franchise, considering Capcom's own efforts to create anything outside the actual games have been pathetic. Seeing Fraggle Rock on that list was certainly a surprise.

I remember hearing about some of those you just mentioned a while back.

But Disney needs to flush what it can, and then reevaluate the stuff that floats back to the top.

I'm sure Disney will somehow Fraggle v Muppets
some of those may turn up D+ or Hulu at some point. But any resources being used to develop all the crap is almost cause enough to just kill it all and sort it out later.
restructuring gotta happen at some point.

I wonder what's going to become of that Dragon's Lair movie, because that was an extension of an Indiegogo campaign. If that was really going to come out in 2020, then that should already be REALLY far along (since it's animation). I wonder if Don Bluth would be able to salvage it and pitch the remainder of the work to another distributor.

I agree.  I don't know what the actual percentages are, but I think most movies don't make it past development.  Fox could've had 300 or so pictures floating around on average for the past ten years.  Doesn't mean 300 (or anywhere close) actually get made.  Studios sit on options and scripts all the time.

I guess I can't really say much, as I obviously don't know much about the series, but I just don't understand what's gained by making it a "continuation" of the 80s series.

I mean, I have a huge soft spot for that show... but it's not particularly good.  Honestly, it's pretty bad most the time.  If they wanted to continue the 200x series, I'd be thrilled, but considering how far out we are from that and how few seem to have seen it, I'd question that decision (unless it was announced that Netflix was going to pick that series up as well...)

Make it a new series entirely.  It doesn't even have to tie into or acknowledge the new She-Ra series if Mattel doesn't want (apparently, there's some licensing hoopla between Mattel and Dreamworks, blah, blah, blah...).  I think this is just a questionable decision that will either serve to drive away potential new audiences (because, seriously, could you imagine any kid or adult not familiar with the original series sitting down to "catch up" on 100+ badly animated, cheesy episodic toy ads from the 80s where He-Man doesn't even use his sword as a sword?  I love the series, but I can't do more than a few episodes here and there) or just annoy long term fans who will nit pick continuity errors and cry how they feel betrayed by the direction taken, with it ruining their childhood.  I checked the he-man.org forums and there are already multiple posts about how this is just a "feminist Teela spin-off".

I assume they want to "honor" the 80s legacy while also getting a jumping point without having to retell He-Man's origin (Think: Superman Returns... that went well.  Thankfully, I can't imagine we'll have creepy rapey He-Man from this though)... but if you're going to take the 80s series as your foundation, you can't do that without including She-Ra from the 80s.

Ugh.  Here I am ranting about a series I virtually know nothing about based off of tidbits of what amounts to early marketing.  I need to step back and breathe. 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, gotta admit, I don't get doing a continuation of the 80s series when the 2000s reboot was generally liked, is a great deal better, and WAS cancelled before it concluded its storyline.

It's like doing a continuation of the 80s Thundercats cartoon. Yeah, you COULD, but the cancelled 2000s rebbot is RIGHT THERE!

So, Are You Afraid of the Dark's getting a reboot next month, and it looks...quite OK. I was a big fan of the original series back in the 90s, but it was extremely corny and bad more often than it was good. A more serious remake that actually pulls off what the original show was trying to be sounds just fine to me.

When I was a kid I totally took Are You Afraid of the Dark seriously. Only watching it as a 35 year old does it seem really cheesy. I bought the whole series one day and I started watching it, and was mortified at how badly they aged.  I remember when Goosebumps the TV show came out I had two thoughts: It wasn't as hardcore and dark as Are You Afraid of the Dark, and the books were way darker. Those are very incorrect ideas in hindsight. In reality both shows were in the same league and of very similar quality. Both Cheesy. With Goosebump books I still have my own adaptations in my head. They're all Ring quality pg-13 style stuff verging on 80s horror.

This looks closer to what I remember than what they actually are(unless I'm in some lower quality Mandela universe). When I was a kid I must have used my imagination a whole lot to fill in the stuff that wasn't there.

Or also the chrominance quality of crt tv's isn't reproduced in modern streaming captures. Wrong color can ruin the mood for certain shows. Some old shows look really bad. My So Called Life must look better on some MTV station vault magnetic reel than it does on Hulu.  I don't think all the official releases have the best capture effort. I'll have to check out some Are you afraid of the Dark VHS tapes to see how they look on my CRT TV. Some  Video 90s 4:3 shows have really bad captures. I've been capturing old home videos recently and what comes out live from the VCR looks a whole lot better than what goes through the card to my computer. NTSC had this whole half frame deal that the capture card doesn't seem to translate over.  That isn't to say that when I do watch Are You Afraid of the Dark it doesn't have terrible acting. Eerie Indiana holds up.

On a whim, I started watching the series digitally. Gotta say, the video quality is awful (these feel like VHS rips), but the show itself holds up rather well for what it is. It kind of reminds me of a less-whimsical, more mysterious Adventures of Pete & Pete.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Star Gate, StarCraft, Starship Troopers, The Last Starfighter, Ad Astra

Lost in Space, Space Patrol, Space Balls, Space Hunter, Space Cowboys

Guardians of the Galaxy, Galaxy Quest

Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Pluto Nash,

Blade Runner, Logan's Run, The Maze Runner

Masters of the Universe, Babylon 5, Andromeda, Farscape, Dune, Red Dwarf, 

Aliens, Predator, Critters,

ET, ALF, CHUD, V

The Thing, The Blob,

Ghost of Mars, The Martian, Mars Attacks, Mission to Mars,

Red Planet, Forbidden Planet

... the Orville

When I started writing my screenplay Intergalactic Funknauts it was. Though an incredibly Politically incorrect movie called Asterisk could be hilarious. It be even more hilarious if it isn't spelled out. *

A return of the blob movie could be good. At the end of the movie they store the blob over in Antarctica and the ice caps are melting so...

This happens fairly regularly with animated series.  Either the episodes are not all finished yet, or they are going to need new content throughout the year, so they will do 5 episodes then wait a month or so and release 5 more episodes.  It kinda sucks, but if you know the interval of time, I would say its much better than waiting half a year or longer for more episodes.  Getting a months worth of shows then waiting a month is much better.  Besides these 5 episodes may tell a mini-arc or something.

I would because Steven Universe, but that's not what he would have wanted. Speaking of, that type of release schedule was infuriating with that show. You'd get five episodes in one week and then nothing for months. Sometimes the network would actually sit on the completed episodes just to maintain this batch release schedule! It was maddening at times.

Steven Universe? Which season.  Also I think comedy is so subjective that it is hard to be right or wrong.  I mean Parks and Rec I think is the funniest sitcom series I have seen, but I know some people that hate the show.  Futurama has some good seasons, but is overall inconsistent, Simpson's has some great seasons, but they are also inconsistent, but the early seasons were still amazing.  Bob's Burgers is pretty amazing too, and the series is overall fairly creative, but I can also understand why people would hate that series.

I've found most people who dislike P&R bailed in the first two seasons. I enjoyed all of it, but it certainly was weaker in the beginning. It is a far superior show to it's predecessor, The Office, because every character in Office is a horrible human being and when Michael Scott left they not only kept going, but character assassinated most of what little good was left in the characters that were half decent. P&R pulled off what few shows today seem to be able to do and ended in a spectacular fashion that was satisfying.

Office had plenty of funny moments (The "Fire Drill" episode is one of the funniest bits of comedy I have seen on TV in a long while), but between the mean spirited characters, lack of legitimate character growth, and celebration of negative behaviors, I have no desire to re-watch much other than a clip or two on occasion, while P&R is something I happily watch every other year or so.

Maybe it's because I watched P&R first, so I am biased, but I think there is more to it than that. Would be curious to hear other's thoughts on it.

Steven Universe? Which season.  Also I think comedy is so subjective that it is hard to be right or wrong.  I mean Parks and Rec I think is the funniest sitcom series I have seen, but I know some people that hate the show.  Futurama has some good seasons, but is overall inconsistent, Simpson's has some great seasons, but they are also inconsistent, but the early seasons were still amazing.  Bob's Burgers is pretty amazing too, and the series is overall fairly creative, but I can also understand why people would hate that series.

It's particularly good once they start getting deeper into the overall plot of the show in the 2nd and 3rd seasons.  But the 5th season is really, really good, epecially after you've gotten attached to the characters.  The movie that aired was also spectacular.  The comedy is more on the silly side than the profound, but it's still a pretty funny show.  There's just more to it than the comedy, with the characters, the action, and the story being bigger deals.  Oh, and the music.  The songs are possibly the best part.

Stratos:  I watched P&R before The Office too.  I have to say, both series get better as they go.  I actually think The Office slowly moves all the characters into likable people, and they have one of the best finale series of television I have seen.  Of course I also think P&R knocked it out of the park with their finale season.  The thing that Parks and Rec does better than the Office is they create fictional world, that is believable and yet plays be its own rules.  Characters are such extreme stereotypes of their cliches that they are almost not their cliche anymore.

The thing about the last season or two of Office was how they basically assassinated Andy's character (among others). Also, I had no love for Angela, because she (and Dwight) did things that were irredeemable and yet they were part of the final celebration. And the return of Michael just seemed to fall flat, like he didn't want to be there or was being charged by the word, so they kept his lines to a minimum. And the one guy I viewed as half decent (Jim) had his own problems. I never understood why everyone rallied around Michael despite how much of a jerk/asshole he was to everyone.

And the British gal was so annoying and way overstayed her welcome, but I'm willing to admit my wife and I's disdain may be a bit for the actress' role in Once Upon A Time, where her later arcs felt like something shoehorned into the show like they had to out of obligation (as if she was dating the show runner or something, it was awful).

It just felt like I was supposed to "like" all of these characters and there was just so little to like about them, like just because of the time and proximity we spent with them the audience is supposed to grow attached. And it can't have been from any form of binging, because we binged both of them to varying degrees after they were concluded.

My wife actually bailed on the show for the final season other than sitting in for the final couple episodes because we figured we may as well finish it. Sure we got some good laughs, but we sat through a lot of sub-par stuff to get to them.

I never liked The Office (US).  I felt Dwight was the only redeemable character but the show tried to make me hate him?  I just didn't understand what people saw in the Michael Scott character.

Post by: Spak-Spang on October 11, 2019, 12:12:29 AM
Well the show started out as basically Jim and Pam's story, and as the seasons progressed it really became more about that, even when the show runners learned that Dwight was a loved character and focused on making him less of a jerk.  Because it was always Jim's story they were allowed to make the other characters bad.  I agree that some things were annoying, and looking back it might just be that I really like the final 3 episodes a lot where they had story arches that redeemed many characters and I wasn't left wanting more when the series ended.

Maybe I should rewatch it some of it as being Jim and Pam’s story. People always talked up the Michael Scott parts and the episodes where it’s all him are kinda cringy.

I really like Steven Universe, but the show has a lot of issues.  Beyond some of the deeper stuff (like the racial coding of Bismuth, the whole slave/romance relationship between Pearl and <can't spoil>...), just so many of the basic plot points are built around inconsistent character choices.

Bismuth gets nothing really explained to her, then gets poofed and bubbled and set aside until Steven decides she'd make a great wedding present.

The freaking diamonds - murdering, genocidal conquerors - get a speech from Steven and now they're all bffs and everything is better now.

eh.

Bismuth tried to shatter Steven and got poofed and bubbled. Not a ton of time to explain things, but she did get a full explanation before the wedding.

There's a lot of disagreement about if the Diamonds are redeemed, but there's enough evidence there to explain why they had such a sudden change of heart. It's not just a pep talk, it has to do with his powers and their relationship.

i.e. The only Marvel movie I have a reason to care about for the foreseeable future. I just hope they don't screw it up. Between Incredibles 2 & LEGO Movie 2, I haven't had the best results when it comes to recent sequels to movies I absolutely adore. Plus, I'm concerned that Sony's going to meddle with the film this time.

Broodwars:  I didn't think The Incredibles 2 was bad.  It just wasn't as good as the first.  But it was still fun to be in that universe again.  The Incredibles universe is just so much fun.  Spider-Verse 2 is going to need a tight story, because the style and surprises of the first movie won't hit the same in the sequel...which is one of the main problems of LEGO movie 2...it wasn't a surprise anymore.

I saw the Incredibles once, then only saw it again as a double feature with the sequel.  I thought the two were really on par with eachother in terms of quality, tbh.  Could be some nostalgia because of the time between the between the original releases?

Regarding Incredibles 2 (and largely LEGO Movie 2, to some extent):

The 1st Incredibles came before the big MCU Superhero explosion, and it's a movie that's very personal to me. When my mother could still walk & function relatively normally, we saw it for the 1st time in the theaters during a trip to Disneyland & California Adventure, the 1st time I'd been back there since I was 5. We both loved it, which says a lot because my mom hates action movies. It was clever (the big thing that shut down the superhero world? The legal system!) and explored superheroes like I'd argue no film before it had ever done: through the lens of family.

After almost 15 years of waiting, we finally get Incredibles 2 and...it just felt like the sort of movie Disney would have made in 2006 if they'd rushed out a quick sequel to the 1st film. In the 1st film every character in the Par family had an arc. In the sequel, Mr. Incredible kind of has an arc, and while Elastigirl has her action scenes NO ONE has anything to do in the film. Dash & Violet, especially, are just kind of "there". It feels like half the movie is dedicated to "oh look at that Jack-Jack! He's so wacky!"

The entire 1st film is devoted to building up the family and then bringing them together at the end. The 2nd film keeps them separated, so they can't even play off each other. The family dynamic has actually regressed since the 1st movie, rather than moved forward. The villain is extremely lame, predictable, and has very poor motivation, especially by Pixar standards.

The 1st film just embodies a very special time in my life, and by comparison the 2nd film is just so...empty. It feels as soulless and cash-grabby as the MCU movies that spawned in the original film's wake. It feels like a movie that was made because someone (i.e. Brad Bird) was contractually obligated to do so, not because they wanted to make it. Is it a bad film? No, but despite some funny moments I can't really point to anything in the film as anything remotely special. I only own it out of obligation.

Broodwars:  Thank you for sharing your story about your mom and The Incredibles.  It is always interesting to see what makes something special for someone.  The backstory and history to it. 

As for Incredibles 2.  I think your analysis is mostly correct, however I could argue that family is a very interesting thing.  It is made of individual people, but the relationships and connections make become a character itself.  So for example, you said Mr. Incredible had a story arc and he totally did, but that story arc could not exist without Jack-Jack as Mr. Incredible learned another way to be a Father and learned the other side of the parent equation.  At the same time, Mrs. Incredible learns the sacrifices and thrill of escaping her life, but she gets caught up in it.  She literally makes the exact same mistake Mr. Incredible does in the first movie, but his was accidental and hers was more explicit.  There was even a sort of feminist push pulling Mrs. Incredible to believe this new life is what she deserves, pulling her further away from the family. 

These are both strong arcs but only when you connect them to the family bond, by themselves they are rather weak story arcs.  Move to the children who have the weakest story arcs, but that is to be expected since the movie almost literally takes place after the first movie and so the adjustment to their previous arcs hasn't fully set in.  Violet is learning to deal with her new confidence and learning how to be a strong woman.  Dash is learning how to be a normal kid with powers.  Their arc comes towards the end, where they again learn what it means to be a family with super power responsibilities and that people will be afraid of that power and want to hurt you.  They experience that hate and fear first hand that their parents were trying to protect themselves from. 

The movie doesn't spend time dealing with that, but I believe it is there subtly.  Finally, the kids step up and take the role of leaders of the family temporarily showing they are growing into adulthood.  Now is the movie perfect?  NOPE.  Does the movie handle these complex issues as smoothly and successfully as the first.  NOPE.  The first movie is almost perfect itself.  But the movie isn't bad.

Such a HUGE improvement design-wise.

If there's one thing I really hope all the studios and producers learn, is to NOT be afraid of the source material. If you like the material enough to adapt it, then like it enough to adapt it as faithfully as possible.

This looks like it could be fun for the younger crowd, may even get that direct to DVD sequel. LOL

The Rock announced Black Adam - 12/22/21

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EJWW0KxXkAAABhs?format=jpg&name=large)

Quote
The Man in Black ⚡
Like most kids growing up, I dreamed about being a superhero. Having cool superpowers, fighting for what’s right and always protecting the people.

It all changed for me, when I was 10yrs old and was first introduced to the greatest superhero of all time - SUPERMAN.

As a kid, Superman was the hero I always wanted to be. But, a few years into my fantasy, I realized that Superman was the hero, I could never be. I was too rebellious. Too rambunctious. Too resistant to convention and authority.

Despite my troubles, I was still a good kid with a good heart - I just liked to do things my way. Now, years later as a man, with the same DNA I had as a kid - my superhero dreams have come true.

I’m honored to join the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a true pleasure to become, BLACK ADAM.

BLACK ADAM is blessed by magic with the powers equal to SUPERMAN, but the difference is he doesn’t toe the mark or walk the line.
He’s a rebellious, one of a kind superhero, who’ll always do what’s right for the people - but he does it his way.

Truth and justice - the BLACK ADAM way. This role is unlike any other I’ve ever played in my career and I’m grateful to the bone we’ll all go on this journey together.

BLACK ADAM
12.22.21 ⚡


Huge thank you to my friends, @jimlee and @bosslogic for this first time ever bad ass collaboration.

DCEU finally turning that corner.

WW and Aquaman weren't bad
Shazaam was actually pretty good.
Joker most profitable comic movie ever, possibly may even hit a billi (still haven't seen it though)
SS may get the course correction needed
WW84.... I don't know anything about it really, but hopefully better than the last
Birds of Prey (or whatever the new Harley Quinn and Girls movie was called)
The Batman is getting rebooted
and now Black Adam gets announced.


we still waiting on the Green Lantern Corps and The Flash movies....
and I'll just assume that Cyborg movie is deader than dead

overall, a lot of potential for DC fans to look forward to.

The Ghostbusters remake a few years ago was bad. Not "unwatchable" as some claim, but shallow and crass, lacking anything really clever from a writing standpoint. It almost felt like they didn't know what audience to shoot for. People are still too hard on it though; Ghostbusters 2 isn't exactly an enduring classic either, and it's got fans...

This return to the series looks much more appealing to me though. Even the approach they are taking of youth "rediscovering" why the Ghostbusters were a big deal to an older generation is a nice nod to where the series stands now.

Well.... Disney did it. They crossed $10B WW in (less than) a single calendar year.
and Star Wars hasn't even hit yet.... Never been done before, and likely to only be outdone again in the near future by maybe.... Disney!?

https://deadline.com/2019/12/disney-crosses-10-billion-worldwide-box-office-new-all-time-record-1202803824/

Every movie I chose made it*, but so did 2 other Disney movies (Aladdin and Captain Marvel). And we also not even counting the $B that SM:FFH made since it's not technically a Disney movie.
oh yeah, and SW:RoS isn't even out yet... but I already said that.

*Frozen II has not yet officially crossed the $B mark yet.... still has about $80M to go. But we all know it's getting there.... probably before the year is over.

well, now that Disney will officially blow past that watermark/milestone/life-time studio achievement.
We're gonna need a new poll for the new year.

Anyone got any suggestions?

For a new poll, maybe we could take a look at upcoming movies for 2020 and try to guess the top 5 grossing? https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/most-anticipated-movies-of-2020/ (https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/most-anticipated-movies-of-2020/)

Why is Cyborg, Green Lantern Corps and New Mutants on that list?

Neither Cyborg nor GLC have even started pre-production or at the very least have a script, as far as I know....

and New Mutants ain't ever seeing an official theater release.
Maybe that's what a micro poll should be. Which of these movies ever see a theater release in 2020 (or at all.... ever)?

Lol, I just posted one of the first links I saw, thinking it'd be ok.

It's especially funny they have it on a 2020 list with no writer or director, as it says in the write up.

That's a pretty long list.... I'd have to weed out which I thought would be suitable for a Top10 and then leave an "Other" option for everyone to comment on movies not listed.

I'll figure it out before the last week of Dec and the 1st week of January :D

still open to other idea of course.

I just finished the series finale of The Runaways, and I think that cements that these shows were not part of the MCU as they did not follow the rules of Endgame. I'm talking about the rules of MCU TIME TRAVEL aka creation of the MULTIVERSE, where to travel in time and make a change does not and can not change what already happened in your timeline, it will just splinter off into a new alternate timeline. and each subsequent change initiated by the time traveler, may continue to create more and more alternate timelines.
The Runaways seems to be following the BttF rules, and not the Endgame rules.

Having stated that, I think this season was certainly better than last, as the series as a whole was rather dull from an action standpoint. I enjoyed it enough to watch it all, but it's not something I would recommend anyone else to put on a must see list of any kind. And for some kids that are meant to be geniuses (namely Chase) that kid is such an idiot, it's totally unbelievable he was capable of doing what he did in the last episode, and I totally feel Alex when he says "of all people... it was you!?"

I think the best answer is it depends on the method of time travel used.  I assume different methods of time travel have different effects.

Not that anyone here was planning on watching it (by choice) but i heard that CATS was absolutely atrocious.
I've had several friends who either went with their S/O or blindly with family, and they all walked out and demanded money back.

So fair warning to all those that don't want to be added to some weird FBI database or 8chan mailing list.... you should probably just let this one fade from existence. LOL

I'm really not sure who's idea it was to sexualize some weird human cat hybrid of species, or whatever it was they were going for, but it looked weird and was quite off-putting.  Not surprised audiences in mass rejected it upon release. even some of those that may have been looking forward to it.

I still want to see it just to see it.  I just don't want to pay money for it.

I really don't understand why, at no point, did someone not say "Hey, maybe no?"

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there's a few folks who this will entertain - and by all means, enjoy it as I can't imagine anything similar will come along for awhile - but, overall, from the very first trailer, I think it was obvious, box office wise, this was going to crash and burn hard.  With all the names attached, I find it amazing no one said "Uh, how much will it cost to break my contract?  And do you take personal checks?"

I'm looking forward to Cats, eventually, when it's free to watch on some streaming channel.
 
I can't recall anything else that looked that bad over the past decade (although I'm sure there have been plenty of really bad movies). Once in a while, an absolute train-wreck of a movie can be entertaining.

Guess Who's Back!!!!

(https://i.imgur.com/eP9zbdy.png)

contractual obligation to see a theater screen release?
Disney feels they may actually have something here with a few edit room cuts?
secret reshoots happened that the actors were NDA'd from talking about, and now everything is fine?

who is morbidly curious enough to watch this in the theater? or do we feel a Hulu/D+ release 1 week after theater release is in the cards (assuming it doesn't mysteriously make money in the theater out of nowhere.)?

I was very interested in this when I thought it was a straight horror movie.
Unfortunately, that's not supposedly the movie that was shot (due to Fox Exec meddling), so I wonder if they either fixed it to be what they presented it to be, or if they plan to just release it as is and said "**** it".

I don't know why they bother to block something once it's been leaked, it is leaked.  Anyway, so it.  I dunno, looks like it is basically Suicide Squad 2, but with brighter colors...and perhaps better comedy.  I like that DC is willing to just get outlandish and weird with some of their properties.

What I can tell from the trailer.

1) Has the feel of the recent DC movies.  It embraces the characters and the weirdness of them, but also is just a little off from doing them right.  Like I know who the cast is, but I look at them and say Nope.

2) Highly stylized fight scenes, that are completely not grounded and silly.  However, the little action we get in this trailer looks like it could be fun.

3) The raid on the police station being completely none lethal is either going to make or break the movie.  If it is high energy and funny, which they seem to be trying to do...then I think it will be great.  If it comes across as cheap or just silly, then it is going to hurt.

Morbius Trailer

It doesn't look bad, but I'm not hyped for it.
some of the video sites are saying that "Spider-Man is in it..." I need to watch again, but I didn't see a spiderman suit in the trailer.

IU must've missed it, but apparently there is a Spider-man poster at the end (the Raimi version) and Michael Keaton is at the end as well (I don't think he's the same character from Homecoming), but Sony is really trying to push even the smallest SM connections wherever they can.

I have to say Sony, might be on to something interesting.  Hero movies have a problem of almost always under developing their villains.  If you can write villain origin Stories that are interesting and spend the time to make a villain that people can care about but recognize they are evil...then it makes the genre better and stronger.

Apparently, history is set to repeat itself as Beast Wars is once again being dusted off to save the franchise after G1 screwed everything up.  :P

Yeah, Paramount is finally considering making a Beast Wars movie. They're apparently also considering making another movie in the spin-off universe that Bumblebee created.

Beast Wars is my favorite Transformers series, followed closely by Transformers Prime. That said, I really don't want the people that screwed up G1 Transformers (even more than it already was) in live action making a Beast Wars movie. But if they must do this, Garry Chalk and David Kaye must be involved, along with Scott McNeil if possible. YESsssss.

Yeah, I will defend that 1st Michael Bay Transformers movie as perfectly enjoyable (if extremely flawed), but after that 1st one? Ugh...

Have heard good things about Bumblebee, though. Picked it up when it was on sale, but haven't watched it yet. It's currently up there with Pacific Rim Uprising on the list of movies I own that I should get to.

To be fair, I've also heard good things. But I'm so damaged from watching other Transformers movies in good faith that I can't bring myself to watch it.

Pacific Rim is an odd movie. I can't call it "good", but it's fun and ridiculous in all the right ways to recommend watching. In fact, I might re-watch if it's available on Netflix...

Same - I missed Uprising (both that you were talking about it, and seeing the film).

Which is kind of weird, because I did really enjoy myself when watching the first one. I think it had benefited from a complete lack of expectations going in though - was that just my ignorance, or did a lot of people go into the original Pacific Rim without a clear understanding of what the movie would be like? When Uprising was released as a sequel, it probably had a lot of people excited about it beforehand and would've hard a harder time meeting expectations.

Aladdin sequel in the works
https://variety.com/2020/film/news/aladdin-sequel-1203502713/

theatrical release, not based on existing sequels
Quote
With new horizons to pursue, “Aladdin” is getting a sequel.

Following the massive success of last summer’s reboot, Disney is developing a follow-up to the film, tapping John Gatins and Andrea Berloff to pen the script.

Sources say the movie is in early development, but after spending the last six months figuring out what direction to take the next film, producers look to have found their path.

The film will be a theatrical release, not a Disney Plus title. The original animated movie had two straight-to-video sequels, but sources say this new take is completely original and not based on those ideas.

It’s unknown at this time whether director Guy Ritchie will return. Producers hope to bring back stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott, but offers won’t be extended to the cast until a script is ready.

I'm glad they're doing a sequel, especially after the male lead was reportedly having trouble getting work.  I'm interested to see what direction they go in, if not following the other films.  I didn't expect them to do the sequel, the full animated series, and then the second sequel, but I am hoping they try to cover some of the plot points.

I don't have the link at this very second, but it's out there if you search it.

Basically oldest son, now all grown up, is trying to be a scientist like dad (Moranis).... makes same mistake and shrinks the kids.

There were some rumors that got debunked I think last month?  Hard to get excited about this, should be good, but Ant-Man did a lot of the sight gags I would expect/want from this and was family-friendly enough.  That said, I'd probably still watch it.

At first, I didn’t understand why this was CG instead of live action then the Robot Rebellion® happened.

I don’t particularly like the character designs because it’s straight up CalArts style. That isn’t especially surprising from the creative director of Gravity Falls, the CalArtsiest CalArts thing to CalArts.

I think it looks like it could be fun...

I read somewhere that there were never any reshoots, and Disney had to ask Josh Boone back in to complete the editing and special effects. Fox has basically put the whole thing on hold during the merger talks. So we may be seeing the directors cut, and not a Fox Exec Collab Effort, like we kept getting with the X-Men movies.

release date also gives cover for poor box office results....

This show was fairly popular when it was on the air, so I was always surprised that it wasn't given a proper BluRay release, just a really expensive and haphazard DVD one on Amazon. Yeah, Warehouse 13 was a better show (and it's had several BluRay releases over the years, including the most recent one by Sony), but Eureka was enjoyable enough.

This release is being put out by Mill Creek Entertainment, the same company that went above and beyond with their Quantum Leap BluRay set by getting the rights to almost all the licensed music that show used every single episode (and making very smart licensed music replacements where they couldn't get the original songs), so it's in very good hands.

I used to love Eureka.

Never got into Warehouse 13, but I didn't really give it a chance either, as I already had too many shows on my plate back then. Only so much free time in any given evening.

edit: I just realized that I never changed the 2019 Poll to a 2020 Poll... :/
now I have to go back and look at the suggestion or two that was made and see what i can come up with.

If you have a chance (lord knows there's going to be a lot of backlog TV watching over the next 2 months), I'd recommend giving it another one and watching at least up to the point in the show where Claudia joins the cast 4 episodes into the 1st season, because Claudia is just "the best" and the show gets so much better with her on it since Artie has someone to bounce off of.

I didn't feel like starting a new thread for this, but is a new content streaming site called Quibi.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqkX-7EOY2k

You've probably seen ads for it and not really paid attention to what is for.
It's a mobile platform with high quality, big budget, "bite-size" content to be enjoyed through your phone (regardless of orientation). Seems to have plenty of talent supporting the platform for launch too: Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro, Sam Raimi, Idris Elba, Joe Jonas, Anna Kendrick, Lebron James, Zac Efron, Tina Fey, Ridley Scott, LIam Hemsworth, Chance the Rapper, Offset and many more

They currently have a 90 day free trial, and there are about 3+ shows on there that personally peak my interest, you may find some other.


and to top it off, T-Mobile is offering 1 year free of Quibi, and then you get to decide if you want to keep Quibi or Netflix for free afterwards.
https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/quibi-with-us

Here's a list of what they got coming down the pipes:
https://ew.com/tv/2019/06/13/quibi-projects-jeffrey-katzenberg/


and here are a few shows that appealed to me most on a quick skim through:
Flipped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWrd4mhGhwg

Most Dangerous Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icv7FGqZCuA

Survive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0aU0BzlBtI


but there's more show types and I barely even previewed any of them.
So if you're bored, looking for something new... check it out. 90 days free, nothing to lose.

Unfortunately the free version doesn’t appear to include Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, the one thing on there I was interested in enough to subscribe for. It’s a comedy set in a game development studio from the makers of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and it’s pretty good.

I think there could be a place in the market for it if done right. It doesn’t make sense as anyone’s only streaming service, but a service at a lower price point that’s only original content makes sense as an alternative to higher priced ones that further splinter or duplicate the libraries of older content. I at least hope it lasts long enough to actually release the Foundation series.

It makes since as an add-on, if you're only using one or two streaming services already.  But if you're already using any more than that, you're probably just gonna keep the $5, I would think.  Unless they put out something that puts up social media numbers, like Netflix does.  Not saying it's the end all, be all, but I only watched Tiger King because of all the memes.  Bird Box wasn't that good, but I still felt the need to watch it.

I think the smart way to go would to keep a couple things full time and then rotate between some of the tertiary ones like that and CBS All Access for the original content as it comes out.

I'm curious about Quibi. I like short stories, not everything needs to be feature length, but there isn't much of an outlet for industry short films nowadays.

If nothing else, it will hopefully teach screen writers to cut out all the fat and tell a lean story.

In the meantime I'll probably cancel my CBS and Epix subscriptions in a couple days. I finished the shows/seasons I wanted them for and I'm not super-motivated to dig around for more, though maybe I'll give CBS one last hurrah because I WAS super binging Bob <3 Abishola until I got all caught up about a month ago.

We all knew this was gonna happen sooner or later. And this should be an interesting one for sure.

But Hercules is now getting it's Disney Live-Action Remake

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/hercules-live-action-remake-works-disney-shang-chi-writer-1292684?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Shang-Chi writer and Russo Bros Producing.
no work on who might be directing

Quote
The new Hercules is in early development, and this being a Disney title, rumors have already swirled about other producers and even filmmakers. The Russos are the only producers on the project and will not direct, according to insiders.

There have also been casting rumors in recent weeks, partially spurred on by Ariana Grande's performance of the movie’s "I Won’t Say I’m in Love" during The Disney Family Singalong, which engendered a petition on Change.org for her to play Megara, the female lead. Idris Elba and Ryan Gosling’s names have also been floated by enthusiasts. But in reality, the project is far from the casting stage.

It is unclear what the new take on Hercules will be or if it will even keep the musical elements. Disney has taken varying approaches to its live-action remakes. Last year’s The Lion King, for example, hewed quite closely to the 1994 original, while Mulan, set for release July 24, is a looser interpretation of its 1998 source material.

the other movies I can think of that are currently in the works are:
Mulan (coming out later this year I think)
The Little Mermaid
Cruella (101 Dalmations)
Lilo & Stich
Pinocchio
The Jungle Book 2
and I think I remember hearing about The Sword in the Stone

there may be more, but I can't remember

For all the things we just aren't allowed to talk about on here.... I bring to your attention a new movie that may have accidentally just been timed too correctly.... considering the subject matter.

https://www.fandangonow.com/details/movie/we-bare-bears-the-movie-2020/MMV954B30F8DEABDDEBD3C0B2CBCE9E8084D

(https://i.imgur.com/Tg9kGAD.png)

Yes, We Bare Bears: The MOVIE

I know what you thinking..... "Whatchu talkin' about Willis!!?"

well, allow me to post a SPOILERED description from someone that has watched it (not me)
Quote from:  SPOILER ALERT
So ironically enough, the movie actually starts with the town rioting for the police to take action to hold the Bears accountable for two binders full of nuisances they have caused, whereas Officer Murphy (a police officer of color and head of the precinct) only wants to give them a slap on the wrist. That's when a white officer named Agent Trout steps in to use the rioting for his own agenda.

Now at first I thought this Agent Trout guy would have some kind of motive related to being one of Ice Bear's shady enemies or having encountered the Baby Bears in the past and them having accidentally ruined his life in some way. But no.....he is just a full blown racist that wants to lock up everyone that's different, even Bears he's never met. His units shove the Bears around forcefully, and Trout makes it clear to Murphy that his goal is to "capture them" no matter any violent cost.

Meanwhile Grizz/Panda/Ice Bear(mixed family) are so fearful that they feel they have to flee the country(to Canada). But they get stopped right at the border because they do not have passports and are detained by Trout who locks them all in cages and tries to send and split their family "back where they came from".

Grizz frees all the other different shape/size/color bears and Trout goes on a psychotic rant. "You think you belong? You are nothing but some filthy mindless beasts". Grizz's ending comeback to him after the stand-off is that "nature adapts".

Eventually Officer Murphy(who had passively let this go on too long) finally does the right thing and arrests Trout. #OneGoodCop?

The film ends with Officer Murphy letting all the other abused Bears come live in society. Grizz/Panda/Ice Bear are no longer misunderstood minorities as the city becomes a half-bear/half-human population. Now our main characters are more than just bared and tolerated. "Ice Bear welcomes change".

So who is making this a "Family Movie Night" movie?

I didn't see it posted on this page but the trailer for Bill and Ted Face the Music is live.   I have been paying attention to this movie since it was announced. I am a big fan of the 1st two movies in the series. Also fun fact the Circle K in the 1st Bill in Ted is actually in Arizona and I went in it and took some photos. 

Anyway here is the trailer for B&T: Face the Music.

New Mutants panel at Comic Con @ Home
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3ZkL3boVyQ


and you heard it here first (new rumor, that was supposed to be impossible due to contractual issues),
but New Mutants is gonna be streaming EXCLUSIVELY on D+ Sept 4th.

Honestly, I've always thought the movie looked pretty good.
Mutants, Horror, Marvel. It was taking one of my favorite genres (comic book/superhero) and mixing it with one of my other favorite genre's Horror, which is more or less something that had not been done yet. The only downside is this was a Fox Marvel movie... but I don't think the Xmen producers had a lot of interference outside of Fox delaying this movie for years for supposed "reshoots" that never happened. So outside of some more recent SFX updates, we should be getting the original cut of the movie, and surprisingly on D+ instead of a "premium theater at home release" which is where I thought they may start with it.

So I don't know about any of you, but I've been looking forward to this movie since it's been announced. I sure if we dug back though this thread, I've said as much back then as well.

I think so.  So many people are trying to cling to "normalcy" by refusing to wear masks, demanding restaurants open, etc that I think there will be a demand for movie theatres. They may be fewer in location, opting for more, bigger screens with other accouterments like Alamo Drafthouse.  Smaller chains will likely die, but bigger chains can invest in things like air filters, certain sanitation measures, as well as the space you'd need to properly social distance.

But one of the options should definitely be "Never".

Lovecraft Country

Is anyone watching this?
Jim Crow Era Lovecraftian Black Adventure, based on a novel by the same name. So far it's been very good (3eps in) and they do not hold back on the racism of the era, so prepare yourself for the language and bigotry. There's also those Love CC raft creatures, as this is very much a Fantasy Epic Adventure as much as it is a time period Black drama.

With receiving else going on right now in the real world, this is able to be a very blatant reminder to those that want to gloss over our divided and troubled history as a nation. All the fantasy adventure elements as another layer of tension to the main characters, but some of the most tense scenes so far have just been the reality of the racist acts on display, followed up my scenes with monsters/creatures as a distant second.

Bottom line is, so far, I recommend a watch.
It airs weekly on HBO, and all 10(?) episodes have already been filmed.
Title: Re: (NEW Poll Added!!) New Movies/TV Shows we should keep an eye out for!
Post by: ThePerm on August 31, 2020, 11:22:40 PM
I've been watching Lovecraft Country. It's OK, it just feels the writing is too literal and formulaic. You have this framework of Lovecraft to tell some allegory and it just seems like paint by numbers Racism X-files. I wonder which race issue and which creature they'll have next week? Is Leti's sister Ruby not going to be able to walk in through the front door of a music hall where she's performing(did they do that already? I watch too many things) while Atticus and Leti fight dagon creatures?

The first episode was really well done though. Hopefully it picks back up on the fourth episode. It's too bad they killed off Courtney B. Vance on the second episode. Jurnee Smollet is acting her ass off. I hope the directors aren't terrorizing her to get those performances out of her.

And I just looked it up. The first episode had a different director than the second two episodes. The second two episodes are directed by an X-files director named Daniel Sackheim. That's probably why the second two episodes feel procedural. I really hope it doesn't maintain a procedural format because that is what drove me away from Power Rangers and Pokémon. HBO drama shows should be serialized. Procedurals are for networks. There is a new director on the next episode and more writers. So, we'll see how that goes.

Two androids are tasked with raising human children on a mysterious virgin planet. As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a treacherous and difficult task.

Ridley Scott directed the first 2 episodes and serves as an executive producer.

apparently this is what people may have expected more of from Promethius according to a review.

I've seen the first two episodes.  They're pretty funny!  I'm not as into the songs, however.  They've successfully updated the main theme, but the other songs just don't have that same feel.  It's like the voice actors are going for softer, "better sounding" singing than just singing in the characters voices.  The first two episodes also felt a little song heavy, but we'll see what the rest offer.

I watched four episodes yesterday and.... meh?

The lack of supporting cast really hurts the show, IMHO.  Pinky and the Brain were the best when it came to Animanaics segments, but the A-B-C formula of a P&tB plot is too stale to feature on every single episode.  Where's Chicken Boo?   I need my Chicken Boo!  Considering how the first episode made a big deal of the Warners and P&tB being gone for 22 years, a Chicken Boo skit where he manages to pull off his disguise for 22 years virtually writes itself.

It's not *bad*.  It's just... meh.  Maybe it doesn't live up to my nostalgia.  Maybe my tastes in Animation have changed.  It could just be me, but the work as a whole just falls flat for me.

Absolutely no way I'm going to the theaters in February. I don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable going back and sitting in an enclosed space with a bunch of people on seats that probably haven't been sanitized ever.

My next TV will probably be 65" or 70". I'd rather just watch movies at home, honestly.

I got a projector and did some outdoor movies in the backyard before it got cold out.
That was actually a very pleasant experience. Not sure my neighbors agreed, but I turned the movies off before it got too late.

I plan on setting up the projector in a spare bedroom as soon as figure out how I want to set it up.
one of those... maybe I'll get around to it someday projects.

Has anyone calculated how many new weeks of Marvel we will get and the timing?  I know Paramount was touting 24 weeks of Star Trek when Discovery and Lower Decks were premiering.

Well, WandaVision is supposedly getting 9 episodes, with 2 airing on Jan 15th
each episode breaks down to roughly 40min each

Falcon & WS start March 19th
which would leave an empty week in-between the 2 series

Marvel did announce a "Legends" series, which could fill the gap(s) and give history on the characters getting shows and/or movies coming out.

I don't have the full schedule infront of me to speculate, but it sounds like Marvel could fill the majority of the 52 weeks of the next 2 years with something new from Marvel if they really wanted to.

Looks like the CW is makin a Live Action Power Puff Girls....?
and reviving the 4400

https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/powerpuff-girls-live-action-series-cw-4400-reboot-1234904050/

This should be interesting to say the least. Just not sure if I mean that in a good way or not.
The original 4400 was a favorite of mine back in the day. Not sure I want to see how the CW handles it.
As for the PPGs.... O_O
I can't even imagine it.

It looks like something different. Hopefully they follow through on the process unlike Maleficent which failed at celebrating it's villain as a villain and gave her a sympathetic "misunderstood good person" plot. Feels like they are trying to channel a bit of crazy Batman villain vibes but not quite Harley Quinn levels of crazy. Also not sure if this is a prequel, sequel, or "different story entirely that is loosely based off of 101 Dalmatians".

I thought the trailer was awful. Looks like another GoTG movie (which is not good for me because I hated GotG2) - with more blood and swearing. Personally I have zero interest in this. Hard pass.

I just think I'm not a fit for Gunn's work.

So the new Matrix 4 trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkhXLgu-mYM) dropped. Have mixed feelings about it all. Its missing Lawrence Fishburne and that is a huge miss for me. I don't care that he died in the crappy Matrix MMO, give us a cameo or just pretend that didn't happen. Especially when we got another black actor to play a different character that behaves similarly and dresses similarly and even offers him special colored pills just feels like an insult to the actor when he wasn't even asked to return.

Hugo Weaving I understand not having a bit more, but again, he should have a cameo or something.

Maybe its all a big twist surprise and they are in the film and just lying to keep the secret, and I'll be happy if that is the case, but will really be dismayed if there is no sign of them.

Also note that only one of the Waichowskis are on board with the film and typically when duos do projects separately things just don't go as well so that has me concerned.

Never mind that the trailer just feels like a repeat of story beats from the previous three films and I'm just feeling like this is an unnecessary sequel made to cash in on the high popularity of Keanu and a classic film series. I need to see a better justification for another to be made and nothing stands out to me just yet.

What's everyone else feeling on it?

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it in this thread a long time ago, but one of my most anticipated series in a long time is about to start. Foundation is an adaptation of a series of sci-fi novels by Isaac Asimov, some of my favorite books ever. One of the first things ever announced for Apple TV+, well before it launched I've been excited but cautiously optimistic about this for years now.

The trailer's here (https://youtu.be/X4QYV5GTz7c), but it's trying to cover a lot of ground and I don't know how much it would make sense to someone unfamiliar with the source material.

Peach - Anya Taylor-Joy
Bowser - Jack Black
Toad - Keegan-Michael Key

can they do it justice!? when do we get some footage?
and is it already green lit for a sequel!? I mean if Sonic can do it....

Will they get Vin Diesel to do sounds for Yoshi in 42 different languages?

Some of that cast, I like. Chris Pratt is a WTF, but Charlie Day is a constant delight to whom I'm always willing to give a chance.  Then there's Seth Rogan who already kind of sounds like DK, and Jack Black who I guess could pull off Bowser?

The first trailer is going to be so weird. I can't wait.

The thing about Kevin Michael Richardson and Jack Black is if they switched that would probably work better. "Play the best song in the world or I'll eat your soul!" That is what I expect a lizard wizard like Kamek to sound like.

Kevin Michael Richardson is the voice of Darkseid, Shredder, and Joker in a few cartoons. He'd probably do a really good Bowser.

But I imagine they're going for a very hyperactive version of Bowser. I could hear in my head Jack Black doing an interesting take on Bowser if he does it right. If Bowser sings that's going to kick so much ass. Charlie Day can sing too.

Now I will say that this looks interesting, but can't imagine it being good....
I don't know much about Kraven, but I'd like to know how the lion blood makes him superhuman all of a sudden.

Between Venom (which what fun), Venom 2 (which was not), Morbius (haven't watched, but reviewed terribly), and now this.... Sony doesn't exactly have the best track record with live action Not Spider Verse movies.
I look forward to the initial reviews on this. definitely a streaming watch at best tho.

I think in the comics he just takes a super serum much like Captain America. But whatever. You got radioactive spiders and jacked lions. How he gets his powers isn't that important. Maybe it'll be Deadpool good?

It's possible that it gets by in a Venom kind of fun way, and maybe the lion was special, and that's why it was being hunted...

I can only guess the spider scene leads to aspirations to "Hunt a giant Spider....man" at some point.

Either way, Sony's Not Spider-man Cinematic Universe movies are automatically on the "wait till streaming" list, unless reviews are absolutely incredible.... much like DCEU movies going forward.

The Flash BOMBED, regardless of all the advertised manufactured "Hype", as I know most people are probably just waiting for it to hit streaming in the next month or 2.
We all know DCEU is being rebooted, so all these sequels are all "DOA".

I figure these Sony movies aren't ever gonna really cross over to Venom, or to the MCU, so they are just stand-alone pieces that were only propped up on some imaginary connective thread that never actually materializes.

The Flash was both the number one movie and bombed(the first weekend)

they've almost made back their money. That just goes to show you... Don't spend so much money!

I liked the movie, but if it is a 300 million budge movie, I can't tell what they spent the money on.

Not a TV Show or a Movie.... it's actually a Walmart Black Friday Ad
but.......

why would I not mind seeing this as a direct to streaming movie if they could flesh it out and bring back Regina.

This looks pretty damn cool, so I'm leaving it here so I don't forget about it.

April is a ways away.

I don't know how many of you remember the original game for this, but the show looks pretty good based on what I remember from that game. Never got into the more recent sequels, but I'm sure I'll be all into this, as all the episodes drop 4/11

Welcome to the POOHNIVERSE!!!
https://variety.com/2024/film/global/poohniverse-monsters-assemble-winnie-the-pooh-blood-honey-crossover-horror-1235943425/

Blood and Honey and all the other extremely low budget children's tales turned Horror in the last few years are gonna Cross Over into a not as low budget(?) travesty?

I'm not sure if I should be excited at just the idea of them attempting this, or disgusted because I know it gonna be absolute TRASH thrown in the dumpster and then set on fire.

I haven't seen the majority of the movies that they are mashing together (well, really, I haven't seen any of them except for B&H and didn't know most of the rest even existed), but I'm sure I'll at least attempt to check this out if they put a real effort into it at least looking good. B Horror is a guilty pleasure of mine after all.

I mean...

Where "Avengers: Infinity War" had Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther and Thanos, "Poohniverse" — from prolific horror collaborators Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios — will team Winnie the Pooh with murderous versions of figures including Bambi, Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter and Sleeping Beauty for an IP-bludgeoning frenzy due for release in 2025. Indeed, on the poster, which Variety is also able to exclusively reveal, Pooh is seen swinging a bear trap on a chain while riding a vicious, bloodthirsty Bambi. Because why not?

I'm sure some of you have actual reason to the Why Not? question, but honestly, why not?

edit: on second though...

Many of the characters set to appear in "Poohniverse" will first feature in standalone films coming this year and falling under Jagged Edge's version of the MCU, the Twisted Childhood Universe. Among them are "Bambi: The Reckoning," "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare" and "Pinocchio Unstrung," plus last year's "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" and its sequel "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2," which is being released theatrically in the U.S. on March 26. The upcoming films will include various easter eggs linking them toward the upcoming horrifying crossover.

Tons of upcoming terrible low budget B horror incoming, but if they can make it entertaining, then I'm all for it.

TCU/Poohniverse Let's Gooooo!!
