jscolon2.0 posted:I know you all want to think that Marvel will actually throw a ton of marketing force behind Guardians, but I can't believe they'd use up one of RDJ's contractual appearances on it, toy or no toy. Doesn't he get a cut of the profits for any movie he appears in as Tony Stark? I bet he'd have no issues with it. Plus of course Marvel's gonna throw a poo poo load of marketing force and pull out all the stops--including RDJ's face--when it comes to Guardians. No one knows who the hell they are and surprisingly Marvel is anchoring their next "phase", or whatever bullshit they're calling it, with this movie so they pretty much will be doing whatever they can to try to sell it.

Saw McHale in a link to a 90s sketch show someone in the General Chat thread posted, he basically had a skullet. Also, comic book chat-wise, compare McHale in Spider-man 2 to McHale in Community. The difference is crazy. I agree that he pulls it off well though.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Calling it now and forever: Ant-Man will by far be the best Marvel Studios movie. Yeah, I can easily see either it or GOTG being the standout Marvel films. IM3 had the Shane Black spark, but it was less than it could've been due to the weight of the previous two movies on its shoulders. Ant Man and GOTG have the benefit of being relatively fresh properties with interesting directors attached.

I don't know if it's in my top 5 comic book/superhero movies, but my original post still stands. It's still better than any Marvel Studios/Sony output.

Miles Teller can and will act circles around him. Right? I was shocked when someone said they got the cast 3/4 right last time. Ioan Gruffud is out of his depth as anything but stuffy Brit. Miles Teller hate is weird and I can only assume it's based on photos of him and not his actual work.

Yoshifan823 posted:The character performances in the Nolan movies alone are worth price of admission in my eyes. I don't think TDK is as good as I did when it came out (but I really don't think anyone does), but it's still head and shoulders above all of the non-Iron Man Marvel flicks, and as messy as TDKR is, I'd say the same about it as well. I pretty much agree with this completely. I'd also add that Nolan's Batman movies look really good. The Imax shots in TDK are gorgeous.

It makes sense, especially for Lawrence when you take the makeup into consideration. I am honestly surprised for a second any time I remember Fassbender is in this new X-Men movie. They really lucked out by locking him in with First Class when he was right on the bubble of blowing up. Same with Lawrence.

Toby Kebbel was the best of the actors rumored, so that's cool. He did great work in Wrath of Titans, Rocknrolla and his Black Mirror episode. Kebbel, Miles Teller, and Michael B Jordan are what's keeping me interested. It's a hell of a cast.

Yeah, Returns isn't great because it's "dark and grim", it's completely silly and over the top in the best way and embraces it fully. I don't understand finding it embarrassing, I actually find it super endearing. Like, the movie basically opens with circus clowns attacking town square. It's got great performances from Walken, Devito and especially Pfeifer, and Michael Keaton the last time I rewatched it I found Keaton to be really touching in the emotional moments and really really funny.

Sir Kodiak posted:Maybe they're trying to accomplish something in the scene that requires them to be wherever it is they are. It's silly to expect an out-of-context one-minute clip, selected to show off the action, to fully communicate everything that is happening and why. Exactly. I mean, make fun of the effects and the action all you want, but it's disingenuous to criticize the motivations of the characters from that tiny scene. I did like Bishop getting help to pump up his super soaker.

Anyone mention that Reg E. Cathey was cast as Dr. Franklin Storm in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie? I think it's awesome. I'm always psyched when Cathey pops up in something(House of Cards, Seven, Oz, The Wire, Pootie Tang, etc) and it'll be extra-dope to see him get all father-and-son with Michael B. Jordan.

It's the Burton-est Batman, has the best set design of any Batman movie, Michelle Pfeiffer absolutely kills it and Michael Keaton actually puts in a really funny, underrated performance. It's the best Batman movie.
