I like Britt Robertson and hope this isn't what the rest of her career looks like.

RC and Moon Pie posted:Christian movie I Still Believe is set to open tomorrow. I've seen two ads for it on TV this week. I think Troll World Tour is the only big studio film not being delayed yet (outside of The Hunt, which was delayed but now might be the Last Movie Ever)

Tars Tarkas posted:I think Troll World Tour is the only big studio film not being delayed yet (outside of The Hunt, which was delayed but now might be the Last Movie Ever) i was talking to one of my coworkers at the theater i work at today and i told him i think that Trolls is gonna be a bellwether for movie theaters, they'll stay open as long as Trolls stays put but if it moves, chain theaters will probably close until Black Widow (unless Black Widow also moves, which has been rumored pretty heavily). it's not impossible that if worst comes to, theaters will be closed for almost 2 months. it would absolutely suck poo poo and put lots of people out of work and i have absolutely no faith in the chains to keep their employees from starving if they can help it.

Say what you will about the new Star Wars trilogy, the talent of the new actors shouldn’t be questioned, they all did good jobs, and I would also like to see Adam Driver do more Daniel Radcliffe/Robert Pattinson poo poo by using his star power to secure financing for weird projects.

Y'all need to watch Guy Madison's Silent Ballet Dracula: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpFkDSQtzp8 It takes the whole "mysterious Eastern dude coming to take are wimmin" vibe of the original novel and runs with it:

The Marvel comics Dracula was once ironically written as a racist Islamophobe and wants to protect Europe from the threat of immigration from the Middle East. He ended up getting killed by a Muslim immigrant superhero.

No, this was Faiza Hussein who is/was the wielder of Excalibur. There was also an alternate universe version of her where she became Captain Britain.

He ended up getting killed by a Muslim immigrant superhero. The core of Dracula is obviously "strange eastern man comes to London and threatens our women" but I always thought there could be an interesting adaptation leaning into him as a rich Christian fundamentalist obsessed with waging war against Muslims and literally draining the blood of his peasant subjects to do so.

I like his 70s solo stuff because it's basically all him being an arrogant rear end in a top hat and occasionally murdering random people who always get full names and oddly detailed and tragic backstories even if they just appeer for two panels.

also, tbf regarding AMC, there's a bunch of Fathom Events stuff coming up that's nerd-interest and will do decent business, and I don't think they're pushing any of them back over corona there's the Steven Universe movie sing-along in like a week, which is more or less guaranteed to attract a horde of your local crazy people and then there's the third Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel movie in May, which is sort of an unknown quantity comparatively, but which Fathom has enough faith in to do 6 days across 2 weeks for it's obviously not exactly Endgame but "theaters being sold out between now and late May" isn't some kind of impossibility that they should avoid planning around

That story I was talking about also had Dracula's plans be undone by him being an arrogant rear end in a top hat to Doctor Doom in the story's opening scene (because Doom, who sees himself as better than everyone, thought Dracula's xenophobia was pathetic).

That's almost the premise of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust which involves a post apocalyptic Earth and a vampire taking off in a spaceship.

That came to mind, though it's a weird case since it's more like the vampires are like LotR Elves who are gradually retreating from the world into the heavens, except apparently they have space stations and they rebuilt their castles into rockets.

On the other hand, an Italian dude, who once tweeted Trump about killing all em Mooslims, wrote a movie about how Italians almost know what it's like to be black. Then won an Academy Award for it. So if you go off the premise that Dracula is a loving idiot, then it makes sense.
