I think Cavill's character is a CIA guy who's sent to track Hunt down when he goes rogue. He seems like a villain based on the trailers, but who knows, maybe he'll do a face turn.

This is like, rival territory, not an out an out villain. He's a good guy with what sounds like good intentions. It'd be cool to see him compete with Ethan in this or the next movies.

I don't think he's the villian, per se. I think based on the new trailer he's been set to hunt (:v:) down Ethan if he goes rogue. And as Ethan is wont to do, he goes rogue. But I bet by the end they team up against the real villain and become besties :3:

What a horrible thread to have a post.
"The more brutal, thuggish Ethan Hunt" is actually a good character idea.

Also the guy in Fallout was the bad guy in the last movie (Solomon Kane) so maybe they're turning over a new leaf or something. IDK. McQuarrie is the first guy to direct two in a row so we'll see what happens.

They’ll beat the poo poo out of each other and take a break to beat the poo poo out of the villain then possibly Cavill will still try to kill Hunt anyways (nothing personal). I’m not sure Hunt would kill him for doing his job but he probably will. Or use it to take his death and finally be done doing impossible poo poo.’

Or in true MI fashion, Hunt will use the knowledge that Cavill will come after him to lead him/the CIA to the real bad guys.

If we're all lucky, Cavill will join the IMF team and Ethan will take an administrative role.

If we're REALLY lucky, the IMF will go independent once and for all.

I think it's a little too early to call how much-enjoyed it is. All the stuff from that bad test screening leak is in the movie and isn't good; the thing is, though, everything else in the movie is very good.

It really depends on how much a few black marks can ruin a mostly fantastic movie for you, and if you even notice or care about those black marks in the first place. There's also the fact that one of the big things is gonna play badly with X-Men fans and probably not make regular audiences bat an eye at all (Juggernaut's death is, uh, extremely undignified after the character not really getting a lot of screen time).

Deadpool 2 is good, and I loving hate Marvel movies at this point. The satire is on-point.

I'd say the DP movies have single-handedly revived the horse-hosed corpse of the X-Men franchise.

Meet the Feebles is not a movie I love or can even watch more than once but it's definitely going for something unique and pretty shocking for the time. This just looks like utter garbage that's 20 years too late. They should've just played it totally straight and it maybe could've worked instead of this loving lazy poo poo.

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
Just wanted to pop in and say that I have a long standing belief that the people who make trailers are better at their jobs than the people who make movies.

I watch trailers and want to see the poo poo out of that movie.

Also, how do Netflix trailers work? Netflix has started to run mini trailers when you linger on a title, but it is very passive and different from the actual trailers, so it’s not like they’re reusing footage. But at the same time, they’re clearly put together specifically for Netflix because they’re quite well done.

The thing about the Happy Time Murders that had people excited about it was the concept art that looked stark, atmospheric, and downright pretty. I think people had it in their head that we were going to get a legitimately good looking noir that was only a comedy by the nature of its own absurdity but otherwise played with a straight face, kind of like Riverdale.

You might be thinking about another film which I won’t name.

The only negative thing I believe I said was being annoyed at early material having some lame jokes. The same thing happened with the first one. It’s like Reynolds takes time to get on a roll with the character and then the good poo poo starts flowing in and keeps going even after the film is released.

They're talking about DP2 but this didn't come from you, it's buzz from elsewhere on the internet. You've expressed nonspecific worry about The Predator, mostly because they aren't showing you anything.

Basically with DP2 the SXSW cut of the movie was incredibly badly received, and they reshot apparently like a solid third of the movie to change what people hated (including the entire after-credits scene being newly added and pretty much existing to retcon a couple of the things people REALLY hated).

e: Apparently the SXSW cut is 20 minutes longer and has Black Tom Cassidy as the main villain, instead of the finished movie, where he's briefly set up as a major villain and then gets instantly chumped by Cable.

Oh hay, another one of these exploitive things long after the fact versus during that time when it was difficult for anyone to express the truth because people wanted to use a tragedy to justify inhumanity so people everyone knew were evil could profit off of war. One of these things that keeps happening all the time. At least it's better than the self fellatio of all the other war movies like American Sniper or Lone Wolfman or Heroic All White American Brown Killer Whatever the gently caress.

Avenue Q needs a bit of polishing if it ever gets polished up into a film. It's a very early 2000s play in terms of how it deals with homosexuality and racism. Not to mention Gary Coleman being dead.
