From was reported, it was going to be more horror-oriented and potentially the MCU's first R-rated feature.

Getting Sam Raimi doesn't seem like it would dissuade this idea.

Kevin Feige however has denied this. And seeing as he still runs things, it's one reason Scott Derrickson is out.

The MCU is probably never going to go R now, simply because DC has staked that ground themselves, and positioning themselves as the family-friendly alternative to degenerate grimdark DC is the most obvious way to dunk their rival possible.

That said, any guess as to whether Marvel will actually listen to their female actors about that team-up movie now that Birds of Prey is released?

Fans want it, but the movie was released just as Disney was buying Fox. It put a damper on everything because all the decision makers changed about its future. It'd be great, but Cameron would have to get involved again and he's doing the Avatar movies.

Wait until Avatar 2 makes billions, then Cameron can say "more Alita or no more Avatar".

I hope Avatar 2 makes billions if that's the case.

Hey, Roger Deakins won an Oscar!

I think it was the trailer. The trailer made it look absolutely awful. Combine that with DC's history of terrible films and I think people have just stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt.

My friends go to watch all the comic book films at the cinema and the trailer made them skip this one. And these are people who went to see Suicide Squad.

This is pretty crazy to me since the last 3 major movies with DC characters in them were widely regarded as good.

The song for Spectre appear to match the movie's story of Bond basically being at the lowest point of his life and ended with him quitting. I am certain the new movie will be likewise.

Sonic movie was not bad, but so many of those trailers were a whole mess of "Who Greenlit this?" What stands out most is the Scooby Doo reboot. I guess I didn't even like Scooby Doo when I was a kid but drat is that trailer terrible and long and do they really think that what is missing from that show was faux-sentimentality? Also the new Minions movie looks loving awful but I know why they greenlit that, because people are idiots, but it's going to suck when like half the Olympics commercials are for either Mike Bloomberg or Minions 3.

Have you seen Bloomberg's campaign? You will get Bloomberg ads featuring Minions.

Most reviews seems to indicate that Sonic is the 'okay' movie, that is mostly a vehicle for Jim Carrey to be gloriously Riddler/Ace Ventura zany again.

One review I heard says that it's the kind of movie you will love as a kid but probably more meh about it later as an adult. And probably love again after that once it gets mined for memes.

There were a number of Greek philosophers who thought that the gods were just exaggerated memories of actual kings who had lived in the past.

Which the early Christians then used to justify that Greek religion was false and their religion was indeed the true religion.

Edit: Adrienne Mayor's "The First Fossil Hunters" is a good book on how classic peoples dealt with ideas like fossils, extinction, and evolution before the advent of modern science.

There are people now who think that Socrates denied the divinity of Greek gods because he was a messenger for the Abrahamic God like Jesus and Muhammad.

A 100-year old Indiana who can barely move is called on for one last time when he must find a crucial piece of computer code hidden inside a virtual world he must 'jack' himself into. The entire movie will be CGI and Harrison Ford can just provide the voice for Indiana this time.

Bay or someone else has talked about how car companies would fall over themselves to get their cars in the movies but only to 'play' Autobots.

Somehow he managed to get Lamborghini and Mercedes to make their live action Transformers debut as villains, although they both appear in later movies as Autobot characters too.

I am still freaked out but also amused that Starscream, an F22, is officially licensed by Lockheed-Martin. However, it seems they might have an issue with Boeing because while Blitzwing is a Phantom in Bumblebee, his official toy looks nothing like one.

The movie version of Barricade became so popular it completely overshadowed the original 1980s version of the character, which even most hardcore Transformers fan barely care about.

Ghost Leviathan posted:

Could be that toy rights are a separate thing to negotiate from movie appearance rights, (similar to the likeness rights for actors) and/or the toy designers don't really give a poo poo about accuracy when it comes to fiddly things like planes.

They did manage to make a fairly accurate toy of Shatter, who transforms into a harrier jet, despite her robot mode also having visible car parts (she also transforms into muscle car in the movie although the toy does not).

And point, though depends; maybe they already had a Harrier mould sitting around from a previous toyline. (They also do that a lot)

It's an original mold though, but I haven't seen the box yet so I don't know if they officially licensed it.

There's so much booze being handed out that it's really easy for someone to get too drunk and fall off the boat. That's why you can get away with murder, you just say they went out on a bender and never came back to their cabin.

Also, cruise ships are filthy loving places that some blood will probably be overlooked.

If you want a full list of why cruise ships are terrible, including why they're the best place for committing crimes, just watch this episode of Patriot Act.

Found Overlord (2018, JJ Abrams) in my library the other day, sat down to watch it this morning. Given that it's Abrams, there's a fair few problems here (only one female character with a speaking role and she of course gets sexually assaulted, politically correct history with race-integrated US army units in WW2), but beyond that this is a pretty decent Weird War Two action flick, rather a lot like an old-school Wolfenstein game on the big screen as American paratroopers stumble into Nazi super soldier zombies. It's a dark, chaotic, violent movie with lots of body horror that sets the tone well in the first five minutes. Despite the problems, a pretty enjoyable movie that I'm surprised I'd never heard of.

My headcanon is that the US military in the film's world was desegregated because the Union needed extra soldiers after the Confederates, like the Nazis in the movie, found an elder god corpse they mined for its blood.

Which is to say the movie is also the closest thing we have to a Bloodborne adaptation.
