I’m amazed that they ended up making a Bad Boys 3. Every film in the franchise will have been made in a different decade.
Not even consecutive decades. Bad Boys II was 17 years ago. Way way back when Michael Bay developed an unhealthy obsession with an underage Megan Fox.

Don't really understand people who love Kristen Stewart. She looks perpetually bored. Apparently they finished filming this almost 3 years ago. I'm guessing TJ Miller getting a bunch of his lovely behavior exposed right about that time might have something to do with the delay.

I do have to wonder what was behind some of the dumber choices in TLJ. Knives Out seems proof enough that he hasn't lost his mind and can still make an excellent movie. I'd buy Disney messing with his work. Never really been impressed with JJ on the other hand.

Disney+ shows maybe. But I think they'll be quiet about new movies for at least a year.

The VVitch was good. Not something that I want to watch over and over, but it's really effective at what it sets out to be. Uncut Gems on the other hand is terrible, by far the worst thing I saw in theaters last year. Made all worse since I know it's all going to go right to Sandler's head.

People want to be hyped about something and Avatar 2 might fit the bill and put butts in seats. It can be a total piece of poo poo but supposing it doesn't have to compete with something much more appealing coming out around the same time, maybe people will get excited for a while. So far it looks like it's going up against another Adam Sandler abortion, some DC movie about Black Adam which I guess ties in Shazam! which most people seem to have liked, and Guy Ritchie finally getting around the another Sherlock Holmes movie. The latter is what I most want to see.

The eyes in the first Alita trailer didn't really bother me. It's science fiction, she's a robot, the toned down eyes they eventually went with looked fine too. Now if they'd set out to make a photo realistic person, ended up with that, and it wasn't a conscious stylistic choice that would be one thing, but it's not.

I have no familiarity with the franchise and went in expecting a decent movie based on good reviews. I ended up really liking it.

2 Jack 2 Jill.

Jack and Jill from the previous movie get cloned, so there's 4 Sandlers, all onscreen at the same time, talking over each other in every scene. They dunk an actual parrot in deadly molten chocolate this time, because its cheaper than CGI. The movie has a Subway logo in the lower right corner the entire time, and the characters point it out and interact with it. The logo is voiced by Rob Schneider.
This actually doesn't sound that farfetched.

The best part of the movie was when Sandler got shot in the face, and the movie ended.

Uncut Gems is a lovely movie following the Wolf of Wall Street template.

Better have an intermission. If you make anything over 3.5 hours long you really need one.

I watched a very good chunk of the '67 on when I was a kid. Mostly I was intrigued that it was on 2 VHS tapes. I thought it was good at the time, and I dunno, I still like goofy movies of that period. Never did have high hopes for this one though.

On an interesting side note. Ranulph Fiennes tried to blow up the dam they built for the town in the original one with plastique he'd neglected to turn in. And because this was the 60s, didn't go to prison for it.

Oscar Isaac typecast as Ex Machina Guy.
When I first saw that he'd been cast in TFA I'd just seen Ex Machina and was a little taken aback because he played that scumbag maybe a little too well. He did a good job in TFA which showed me that he could play a heroic character too, but the next couple of movies had writing that made Poe considerably less likable.

The original cut of Cobra was like three hours long but they cut it down to 85 minutes which is amazing because it means they cut so much out but everyone agreed to keep the part where Stallone walks out with a giant novelty burger and says your burger's ready.
Now it's not like the additional 1:15 was going to make it make more sense. But there's probably tons of stupid gold in there.

The chatter a year or so back was that Bad Boys was being viewed as a way to launch a multicultural Bad Girls spinoff. Haven't seen the film so how much of that got to the final draft?
If you want to launch a female action franchise maybe stop trying to grab the coattails of dead franchises nobody cares about anymore, and just do your own thing.

Edit: Ok, it did alright. It also came out longer ago than I thought.

I haven't seen it since it was in theaters, so my memory could be a little foggy. There's something about the who spy plot that was just too plodding. Spy plots are fun largely because you try to figure out all the angles, and this felt more like you're just along for the ride most of the time. There's some really well made action scenes throughout, but he spy plot didn't do much for me. Maybe as was suggested earlier I should rewatch it now that I know how it ends.

He tried to get the title changed and the studio wouldn't let him. He did make the effort to patch things up with Ferrara. If Herzog says for instance, that he hasn't seen a Star Wars movie. I'd tend to believe him.

Dershowitz has been outright accused of raping girls supplied by Epstein. All those dumbasses you know who won't shut up about how Hillary had Epstein killed don't care in the least that Donnie's personal lawyer is probably a kiddie fiddler. Of course they don't care that Donnie has been accused of all those assaults, and bragged about groping women in what he thought was private.

Isn’t Peter Pan already told through the eyes of Wendy Darling? She’s the audience-surrogate character. A recontextualisation of the story could be cool, but that’s an odd way to put it.
I saw the trailer and the more notable feature seems to be that it looks like it's going for magical realism more than anything else.

There were two Shadow Warrior novels. I didn't make it through the first one because it's batshit insane, and written by some guy who has pumped out hundreds of lovely books. If the original game had a racism problem it is only magnified in that book. Lo Wang eats sushi off the floor, kills people indiscriminately, and shouts all of the one liners from the game in contexts that sort of make sense.

I'm older than Danny Glover was when he was getting too old for this poo poo
He was a few days from retirement 32 years ago. The year before I was born.

In addition to how ridiculous this all is Mel Gibson is probably just going to gently caress up again if we give him another chance. It wasn't quite 10 years ago that he was accused of domestic violence, and then there was that phone call to his ex-partner where he screamed at her that she deserved to be raped by a pack of n-words.

In conclusion, Mel Gibson is not a land of contrasts, just a bad person who doesn't ever learn from his mistakes.

I got curious so I looked this up. Glover was 40 when the first one was made but played a 50 year old, thus I also am older than Glover but not older than Murtaugh when he was too old for this poo poo. Gibson was 30 but played a 38 year old Riggs. Currently Glover is 73 and Gibson 64 (his birthday is in January so he already had it this year, Glover's is in July)
LW completely threw me off and I went through life thinking Glover was a decade older than he actually is.
