Wow, I had no idea he wrote this. I'm surprised it's not being advertised as BY THE AUTHOR OF GAME OF THRONES plastered over the screen. Mind you, I don't think I've watched any ads for it, so...maybe it is?

I have seen his name mentioned in ads, which made me wonder “didn’t he have a different series to finish?” before I found out when he wrote it.

I watched several movies during the Shaw Brothers marathon on Twitch a month ago and it was amazing how many sudden endings there were. Compare that to these days where even B-movie shlock has pacing and gets a proper epilogue.

Poor, poor R Pats. He did not deserve what Twilight did, and is probably still doing, to him.

I'd say he's been fine. He did three romantic dramas in between the Twilight movies and then stepped away from being typecast with stuff like The Rover, Good Times and recently High Life. Cosmopolis was apparently released before the last Twilight movie, but already showed in which direction he wanted to go.

Even after the card game took over that was still the plot. They have the guy who created the card game say that he was in Egypt when he saw stone tablets with monsters carved into them and that inspired the game. Then they reveal that the stone tablets actually summoned monsters.

What's the ratio of eye patches in movies to eye patches in real life? Because I've never seen an actual one in real life unless a person was just coming off surgery but in movies an eye patch always means "this person is a total badass" (Nick Fury, Snake Plisken, Jack Sparrow, Darrly Hannah in Kill Bill, Battlestar Galactica, Moody from Harry Potter... the dudes from Lost and Oz) and not "gently caress, what happened to your eye?"

There's Rosamund Pike in A Private War, but that is a biopic for Marie Colvin. Since she was a journalist operating in warzones, she was a case for both: lost her eye during work, wanted to look hardened (I think). I also imagine it is less maintenance when you are frequently surrounded by rubble and dust.

GoT: what happened to the Dothraki? The Unsullied are off to the beach, which is fair enough, but I don’t think the Dothraki are mentioned after Daenerys’ Triumph of the Will scene.

In the end as Jon Snow is walking in the harbor he comes across several Dothraki. I guess the implication is that they are about to sail away to somewhere, like the Unsullied. But it doesn't tell you where.

Fury and Hill were being replaced by Skrull shapeshifters. If you didn't see Captain Marvel this probably won't make sense. Fury was replaced by the main Skrull dude. He leaves a voicemail for the actual Fury telling him about the stuff that has happened. The movie then cuts to Fury listening to the voicemail while chilling on a beach. As the camera pans out we see that it is not an actual beach, merely a room simulating a beach. The camera keeps panning out and Fury is on a space station/ship with a lot of people working in the background. He then asks who took his shoes. The end.

Episode 1
Tv ma, adult content, graphic language, graphic violence, nudity, strong sexual content, rape

It has Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen as creators/executive producers, just like on Preacher. I imagine if you're going to have them after that show, you're giving them free reign.

Enrico falls asleep at the start and wakes up hours later. He receives a ride from Zack, an ambulance driver delivering a transplant heart. Enrico inadvertently throws the heart out of the van whereupon it is stolen by a dog, which is then electrocuted by an electric fence. Zack decides to kill Enrico to replace the heart. Enrico escapes by boarding a passing train to Silver City station, where he is the first to reach the locker, only to fall asleep while unlocking it.

Dark Phoenix is a great authentic comic book movie because it really hits the feeling of another forgettable run in a decades old series.
"Are we going do another arc that spans several comics throughout a year? Some really ambitious stuff?" "No, it is just one title that needs to be filled for the next couple of months."

I guess 20th Century Fox was trying to make some quick money with their license. And then they got bought by Disney.

I started watching it last night, couldn't finish, gave up after 40 minutes.

The other thing that was really impressive was how lovely the production values were. It looked like a network television production. I like that they just gave up and put Jennifer Lawrence in a yellow jumpsuit at one point, which makes me wonder why they bothered with the terrible blue makeup at all.

If you do a side-by-side of all 4 movies you can see how the rise of stardom led to the downfall of the makeup. I don't blame her. Not everybody has the patience of Jim Carrey doing The Grinch, especially if it's for something you signed up long ago.
