Then a month later Queens Gambit came out. After all those delays they missed the Anya Taylor-Joy moment by a few weeks.

Is there any more info about a possible streaming release for the Green Knight? After they pulled it from UK distribution I read that there was speculation they might have done so so abruptly because they got offered a good deal by a streaming platform.

The Green Knight apparently has a rating and release date in Australia but no idea where or when it's actually being shown.

I caught New Mutants a couple months back and honestly thought it was pretty great, and definitely not the worst X-Men movie considering Wolverine: Origins and Apocalypse exist. Edit: oh and Dark Phoenix, but I'm pretty sure I never actually saw that one Sirotan fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jul 27, 2021 |

Sirotan posted:I caught New Mutants a couple months back and honestly thought it was pretty great, and definitely not the worst X-Men movie considering Wolverine: Origins and Apocalypse exist. Maybe my brain has atrophied during quarantine, but I also thought New Mutants was pretty good. I liked the lower stakes, and re-centering it on what are basically marginalized queer youth was exactly the kind of thing that made older X narratives compelling for me. It had its flaws, like Magik being oddly racist or Dani/Wolfsbane being underdeveloped. But compared to the absolute trash installments FOX put out before it, it's a solid improvement. It sucks that the common narrative now is, "New Mutants was bad and thank god X-Men are in the MCU." I want smaller, more personal X stories. I don't want huge world-ending tentpole stakes...that's part of why Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix sucked IMO. I want Logan and New Mutants, wanted Magneto: Nazi Hunter. Now we're going to get more Big Blockbuster poo poo but with even tamer politics and way more quips.

Apparently one of the reasons Don Quixote came out is because Adam Driver, who I just recently found out also starred in the film, somehow managed to secure the necessary funding to finally get the actual filming off the ground. Also he was apparently a Marine at some point. That dude's career trajectory is just loving bonkers.

Yeah, it's a big part of why he can't watch or listen to his performances. He was loving around on his bike and shattered his sternum a week before his unit shipped out to Iraq. He gets a medical discharge and goes into acting while his friends went to Iraq and and a good number didnt come home. Dudes carrying a lot of survivors guilt.

Let this be a lesson to all, if you want to live and become a superstar, get into just a whole bunch of motorbike accidents. The more, the more alive and famous you'll be.

New Mutants really is the only blunder she's been in that I have seen, and she is the most fun (and also problematic) part of it. But yeah, the movie is far from the worst X-Men movie. I know opinions vary on which one is the worst, my vote goes to The Last Stand. New Mutants isn't that badly made, it's just kind of boring for such a fun premise and cast.

Though iirc he was only Starscream in the dub, and the character has pretty much nothing to do with how Starscream usually is besides being a jet plane; he comes off more as an attempt at BW Dinobot plus fangirl bait.

I'm trying to figure something out here. Isn't the Fassbender/McAvoy cast supposed to be the younger versions of the McKellan/Stewart cast? How the gently caress did they justify doing Dark Phoenix twice if it's the same characters?

That series is not at all concerned with continuity, so you'll drive yourself nuts if you try to line anything at all up between any given films. But if you must justify it, the time travel could've changed when and how things happened.

First class had a stinger of Jennifer Lawrence meet with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, signifying things she needs to deal with that led to nowhere because they didn't plan on a sequel to first class. The second wolverine movie also had some stinger suggesting Hugh Jackman and his Japanese ninja sidekick will do something, that led to nowhere either. They ultimately did days of future past to try to marry the two continuities, with the original x men trilogy future doomed to hell and them fixing things to ensure the first class continuity takes precedence, ending the original trilogy continuity altogether... if not for the fact dofp had a stinger that had Famke Jansen and kelsey grammar (both of the original trilogy) appearing, and Logan (the best x men movie) was released that suggested the original trilogy continuity is still intact in some way, and their exploits are illustrated in comic books suggesting a completely different continuity. And then they continued the first class contuinity with age of apocalypse and another dark Phoenix Saga, which were both awful, rendering everything a huge mess where fox wanted to have the best of both continuities but completely botching the first class continuity while fans get increasingly confused. Then they released new mutants, which references stuff both from Logan and first class, and then a demon bear appears to eat the villain and everything no longer makes sense. I probably got most of that wrong but if they have someone handling the x men lore in fox pre-acquisition they must have aged decades handling this poo poo.

I don't remember this at all. Also, I don't know why so many people seemed to think that First Class was not meant to be in the same continuity as the older X-Men movies, given it opens by recreating the opening of X-Men 1, has the same X-Mansion and Cerebro and SR-75 X-Jet, British Professor X, Stryker's role as a CIA agent rather than televangelist, and has the cameos from Jackman and Rebecca Romijn as the older Mystique. Also probably my favorite minor role in First Class is Oliver Platt as the MIB.

How the gently caress did they justify doing Dark Phoenix twice if it's the same characters? Dark Phoenix is set six years before the first X-Men movie, so Fassbender turns into McKellan over what I can only imagine must be a really rough 1993-1998.

The post-First Class X-Men movies give me kind of a headache because they’re all set 10 years apart and nobody ever gets any older. Havoc is like 20 years older than Cyclops but doesn’t look it, etc.

Magneto in particular always has the issue that “holocaust survivor” becomes increasingly untenable as an origin the farther we get from WWII.

Vegetable posted:What's wrong with it In the 80s when Claremont introduced that character element, he was like a resistance fighter in his teens, and by 2000 he had to be basically a toddler to make the timeline kind of fit. I can imagine that after another cycle of movies we'll get people wondering why this guy cares about something that happened 100 years ago. This is the same thing as Captain America, who in the 60s was just a young guy who had the same attitudes as guys in their 40s because he was only frozen for like 18 years but now has to be a total alien because he missed 80 years of history. Or the Punisher, who has to be in his mid 70s if he's a vietnam veteran.
