Creed is just getting released next week over here and I saw an advance screening of it last night. It is very good, which surprised me because it's a Rocky movie - but on the other hand DUH of course it's good it's written and directed by Ryan Coogler and has Michael B Jordan in it.

Which Rocky movies have you seen?

I don't give a poo poo about the box office, but the carriage scene from ABLVH makes me super hype for his version of the chariot race.

Who on Earth was calling for a Labyrinth remake? There's no way to go but down for that.

I thought they should have made one like 5 years ago with Bieber in the Connely part and Lady Gaga in the Bowie one. Now Bieber is too old for it to work.

Of all the things on the internet, I somehow highly doubt that there exists a contingent of people pretending to be 10-14 year olds specifically so that they can sloppily edit together fake VHS openings primarily for Disney movies. There's way too many of them for it to be like a performance art or sex thing.

10 -14 year olds don't know or care enough about VHS to mimic it's aesthetic.

I was just thinking about the Narnia films the other day, and how that whole series turned out to be such a complete non-starter.

Honestly I was kind of hoping they'd at least finish the series if only because I'd love to see how they handle "your all dead and the world just ended because some monkey was a prick".

You have to wonder if part of that is due to the fact that nobody gives a poo poo about Benghazi, despite the frenzy they've been trying to whip up over it for the past 3-4 years.

Probably, I also think the reason no one cares is because no one knows why they should care. At least with the "9-11 was an inside job" nut jobs you know why it'd be a big deal if it was true, I'm still not sure what Republicans think the Obama administration did that was so wrong.

I think (and this could just be my own reasonable interpretation of batshit insane ideas) that they claim to think that the administration should have done more to prevent the attack. "Claim to think" since obviously it's pretty much just been an excuse to talk poo poo because something bad happened on Obama's watch.

Oh, that's almost reasonable as long as you ignore who was president on 9-11.

Nobody cares about Benghazi except hardcore weirdo partisan conservatives. so it's not really that surprising. Plus, John Krasinski does not appeal to flyover state audiences.

Because with a loose enough definition all movies could be called political. When people say "political" to describe a film they mean direct, overt commentary on an actual real life event or topic directly related to what we culturally understand as "political issues."

All films are political, you loving dumb twat.

Good news, I looked up the actor recently and he's slated to return in all sequels as the same character! That could mean either flashbacks, video footage or clones. Personally, I hope it's clones. An army of angry Colonel Quaritchs.

Assuming you're going off IMDB, the vast majority of the info on that site is user contributed, so barring a news article that backs it up all casting info on stuff that hasn't even started shooting yet should be taken with a grain of salt.

I love that reporters researched the story and were able to confirm most of it. Will this be the first "based on a true story" movie that's actually based on a true story?

I thought Now You See Me was fine. I mean, I didn't think it was groundbreaking in any way, and I pretty much forgot about it after seeing it, but I don't feel the anger to it most people here seem to

Because it was a nothing film and the sequel will likely also be a nothing film and people prefer it when studios spend money on making movies that have a chance at being something.

I don't think anyone is actually angry at it, just mystified that it gets a sequel.

E: Nevermind. I will sum it up: he hates fruits because his mom made him eat them for constipation as a child. He gave his brother permission to use his act, and then changed his mind, but his brother kept doing it anyway so he sued him and won. He was voted #100 in "top 100 comedy central stand up acts", and then went on to say he never heard of the people above him so how can they be better? This is the list, for the record:
http://www.listology.com/list/comedy-central-100-greatest-standups-all-time

As you can imagine the list is like George Carlin, Louie CK, Chris Rock, Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, etc. People nobody would recognize.

I took a look at the list assuming the bottom of the list would be more esoteric people I wasn't familiar with and he just misspoke. But nope, 99 is Janeane Garofalo, and I recognized the next 22 also.
