Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


Movie studios need to stop trying to be serious. They should just make Suicide Squad an Adam West style movie that revels in its idiocy, complete with intentionally bad special effects, silly dialogue, and a lighthearted plot. They could play up the comedy and have the actors really go full-ham and just have a lot of fun with it. Hell, they could even have Adam West appear in some scenes.

Instead we get some kind of.... suicide squad?

FF is really boring and bad

it is the bad kind of Bad Movie; do not see it

I did get a laugh out of the flaccid "clobbering time" line usage near the end though I guess

fun movie, treats dumb subject matter with the level of seriousness it deserves; lot of fun stuff visually with the shrinking and growing and teeny tiny action scenes

lot of people comparing it to guardians of the galaxy and that seems apt to me

well yeah i dont really understand how the steam hasn't run out on the marvel movies personally, but it's working for them, and every last actor they sign has a stipulation for like 10 movies attached to it.

then fox and sony and dc look at how it works over there and wring every last drop out of the franchises they have.

It's not getting a release in China because China limits the number of foreign-made films, so the Hollywood studios have to bid on those spots. Fox is not going to burn one of those spots on something that they know is a failure.

it's so bad that even they don't think the chinese will want it. they also implied they aren't giving the rights back as they said they are committed to these characters. too bad they burned the franchise to the ground, salted the earth and pissed on the ashes.

i mean, green lantern was years ago when it flopped and wb aren't doing another one until 2020. this is a big bomb, people tend to remember those. you can't just keep rebooting a franchise when you hosed it up. sony tried that and they ended up renegotiating with marvel. and their movies only underperformed.

To be honest, whatever director/writer picks up the reigns of F4-2 will have so little expectation of success they could probably try something risky and make a good movie

Also I just want to say that Kevin Smith's Daredevil starring Ben Affleck as a mouth breathing blind man who thinks doing a magic eye besides his colleagues is acting was the worst comic movie I've ever seen (I havent seen f4). That movie is so bad. I have no expectation that Ben Affleck can pull off a good Batman in a terrible Batman Superman script

People somewhere are predicting that just because FF sucked, this somehow means Deadpool is going to be great and there needs to be a greenlight on a sequel.

Why the gently caress do people have so much confidence in Ryan Reynolds?

Interestingly Deadline is claiming Fox is still trying to get a China slot, and it may have a chance at 200 million abroad...but I don't know if they're getting horseshit from their fox sources. Apparently it did okay in a few markets but underperformed in the mature ones.
