Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: walt on June 27, 2011, 03:54:52 pm
Come on, you're not even the target audience for that movie.

Did you watch PREDATORS? Robert pushed hard for that movie to see the light of day, and it was awesome.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: D'Evil on June 27, 2011, 11:03:01 pm
I love most of Rodriguez's works, From Dusk Till Dawn, for example, is one of my favorite films of all time. I just don't think he can do kid's movies. I mean some movies targeted for kids like Baby Geniuses are terrible films, but most people who dislike them aren't in the target audience either.

Probably a bit of both. But I think more of the latter. Glee is incredibly popular.

FOX ORDERS DOUBLE D’OHS OF “THE SIMPSONS”
Longest Running Scripted Series on Television is Renewed Through Season 25

FOX has renewed THE SIMPSONS, the longest-running comedy in television history, for an incredible 24th and 25th season, bringing the series total to an astonishing 559 episodes. THE SIMPSONS airs Sundays (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In the words of Homer Simpson, "Woo Hoo! I outlasted Andy Rooney!"

The longest-running scripted show in television history, THE SIMPSONS exploded into a cultural phenomenon in 1990 and has remained one of the most groundbreaking and innovative entertainment franchises, recognizable throughout the world. Matt Groening created the iconic family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. In February 2012, THE SIMPSONS will celebrate its historic 500th episode. The series has won 27 Emmy Awards, been the subject of a hit feature film, created “Krustyland” and a revolutionary virtual coaster – The Simpsons Ride – at Universal Studios, received a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame, been honored with five U.S. postal stamps personally designed by Matt Groening, and named the “Best Show of the 20th Century” by Time Magazine.

Following the MLB American League Championship Series and World Series games on FOX, THE SIMPSONS returns with all-new episodes beginning with “Treehouse of Horrors XXII,” on Sunday, Oct. 30 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). In the spooky opener, Homer takes a dangerous dive into an isolated canyon on Candy Peak, but when a crashing boulder traps his arm, he channels Aron Ralston (guest voicing as himself) to save himself. In “The Diving Bell and Butterball,” the first of three hair-raising Halloween tales, a venomous spider bite leaves Homer paralyzed, but when Lisa discovers Homer’s ability to communicate through natural gases, he is able to express his love for Marge. The killer spells continue in “Dial D for Diddly,” when Ned Flanders, devout preacher by day, transforms into a cold-blooded vigilante by night. In the final terrifying tale, “In the Na’Vi,” Bart and Milhouse are assigned on a mission to access a sacred extract on a distant planet. They morph into the land’s indigenous one-eyed avatars, but when Bart finds love and an eternal mate abroad, he is caught in planet warfare.

THE SIMPSONS is a Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Al Jean are the executive producers. Film Roman, a Starz Media Company, is the animation house.

Visit THE SIMPSONS website at www.TheSimpsons.com. Become a fan of the series on Facebook at www.facebook.com/thesimpsons and follow Homer Simpson @HomerJSimpson



PLEASE END THIS SHOW

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: senorfro on October 08, 2011, 03:13:30 am
Avatar's not horror.  Though I'm not surprised as this isn't the first time THOH has used a popular media of some sort (Transformers was in a previous one).  How I long for the days when they used actual horror and/or mystery in their Halloween specials.  Oh well.

I heard that there was a money issue and the Simpsons may have been ending.  Obviously that's not true.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst has long complained that people have treated him like a music industry joke, a punch line to the question, "Seriously, what's with that dude in the backward red baseball cap?"

But the nu-metal maestro may have the final laugh thanks to a deal he recently signed with CBS and CBS TV Studios to develop a half-hour sitcom. According to Deadline Hollywood, Durst will star in and produce the untitled show, which has a not-ready-for-primetime working title that perfectly fits the "Nookie" singer's self-deprecating image: "Douchebag."

CBS has committed to looking over a script for the show, which centers on a "rock legend looking for balance between his high-profile lifestyle and trying to raise a family." The script is being written by Matthew Carlson ("Mr. Sunshine"), who will also serve as executive producer.

one of my favorites is hosting the golden globes again even though he laid some sick burns the last time he hosted
Quote
After weeks of rumors, the organization announced Wednesday that Ricky Gervais will be back to host the Golden Globes for a third year.

 NBC pushed heavily for Gervais to have another stint on the show, but many members opposed his return.

 A year ago, the prospect of Gervais taking the stage again at the Beverly Hills Hilton seemed impossible. The British comedian presided over an insult-laden broadcast that poked fun at major stars such as Bruce Willis and Robert Downey Jr. and the non-profit organization behind the awards show.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/16/idUS26788581520111116

this is cool but it also means he definitely won't be doing this thing (http://larryfire.wordpress.com/2011/09/08/ricky-gervais-wants-to-host-a-golden-globes-podcast-with-louis-ck-chris-rock-jon-stewart-larry-david-karl-pilkington/) which i would've enjoyed a lot more

Joss Whedon has a big-budget movie The Avengers coming out next year, but he's moving one step closer to making the sequel to the Internet sensation Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog happen.

Dr. Horrible, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion, was released in parts on the Web in 2008. Ever since its success, fans have been wondering when the followup will come. In an interview with Yahoo, Whedon gave an update on the progress of the project.

"We have been working on that for a while. It's been hard, because we all have jobs, and some of them are extremely taxing," Whedon said. "But we have had a vision of the thing for a while, we have been working on it, we have a bunch of songs and a few scenes. We need a little free time and right now that's plenty hard to come by."

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dr-horrible-sequel-joss-whedon-263974

Now I want Avengers to come out and be done with just so Whedon has more time to do this.

FAQ: What about this one joke?

about 4003130102 ppl have asked about this. I believe this is the only overt reference in the series to the books being black & white.

answer: I DONT KNOWWWW YET! heahaerahaha. I haven’t tackled vol 3 yet -its color edition won’t be out for over a year. You’ll have to pick it up in 2013 and find out what new, even meta-er jokes come out of this humorous situation.

They are remaking Silent Night, Deadly Night. Malcolm McDowell is in it because he really likes starring in horror movie remakes, I guess. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/silent-night-deadly-night-is-getting-a-remake-with,71997/)

I wonder if they will sneak in a GARBAGE DAY reference (yes I know that is from the sequel but that is probably the only reason most people have even heard about this series (which has 5 movies!!! seriously?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!)
And now I guess I have to post a clip of GARBAGE DAY. But instead of posting just the part, here is the full rampage which I saw for the first time today which is just amazingly bad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA9vLK1VllA&feature=related)

No third season for Avengers: EMH. Instead, it will be replaced with a new Avengers show called "Avengers Assemble," which will presumably fit into the same universe as that horrible Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and the upcoming Hulk and the Agents of SMASH cartoon (which sounds like it'll be just as bad (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/marveltv/news/?a=59757)).

By default I'm not that interested, but it's nice for once to have a book that's not a translation of Japanese stuff, and one of the preview images at once confirms Captain Commando takes place in Metro City and uses Charlie Nash as a full name. If the book actually turns out to cover what little original plot points those games had (and dropped by MvC2), like Shadow and Shadow Lady, I might actually even bother with it.

Sega and Sanrio are teaming up for a series of character collaborations. The first product to result from the partnership shouldn't be too surprising:

This Sonic x Hello Kitty Super Jumbo Plushy will be available in late July at Sega amusement facilities throughout Japan. The item is meant to commemorate the long awaited July 14 reopening of Sega's Tokyo Joyopolis facility.

Sega says that it will be staging this collaboration project worldwide starting in Summer 2013.

Announced early this morning via USA Today, Archie Comics has released two pieces of art in support of its upcoming 12-issue crossover featuring the first meeting of video game legends Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man.

The story, written by Ian Flynn, the current writer for both character's regular ongoing titles, celebrates in part Archie's upcoming 20th year producing Sonic comics. "I'm already living the dream by writing the 'Sonic' titles," Flynn told USA Today "Then I got to live the other dream of writing for 'Mega Man.' With that many dreams being handed to me, I figured it was only a matter of time.

"Going in, I want this to be the story fans wanted to read -- not just our regular comic fans, but fans of both franchises -- so we're holding nothing back," the writer added. "Who knows when the stars will align and we'll get another chance to do something like this again, so I'm making sure this is the end-all, be-all crossover."

Official Press Release

Archie Comics, the leading children’s comic book publisher in the world and the home to some of the most recognizable pop culture characters, including Archie, Betty and Veronica, Jughead, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Josie and the Pussycats, announced today in conjunction with SEGA and Capcom® plans for a Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man® comic book crossover, starting next year.

The comic book event marks the first time the two legendary video game characters have crossed over, making it a landmark meeting for comic book and gaming fans around the world. The story will be written by best-selling and longtime SONIC THE HEDGEHOG and MEGA MAN writer Ian Flynn and will feature cover art by superstar artist Patrick “Spaz” Spaziante, who illustrated the hit SONIC: GENESIS storyline and the highly-successful MEGA MAN comic book launch.

“This is a historic moment for not only Sonic and Mega Man, but for Archie,” said Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater. “We’ve had a long, fruitful history with Sonic and are enjoying great success with Mega Man in all our markets. Bringing these characters together was something we’ve been hoping for since we got both licenses, so this is very much a dream come true for the company.”

The crossover, spearheaded by Archie’s Executive Director of Editorial Paul Kaminski, will be a universe-spanning tale that involves not only the legendary characters, but their expansive and diverse supporting casts and villains for a tale that’s certain to go down as one of the most acclaimed and best-selling comic crossovers ever.

The 12-part storyline will run through the ongoing SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, MEGA MAN and SONIC UNIVERSE titles and be available in print and digitally.

“We’ve been gearing up for this for years,” said Kaminski. “From the moment we had Mega Man at Archie, we knew we wanted to bring Sonic and the Blue Bomber together. It’s a big budget movie featuring two of the most storied video game franchises. This has never happened before. We’re making history here, and it’s going to knock people for a loop. This is what comics are all about – drama, fun, action and tons of surprises. Fans will not be disappointed.”

Universal has tapped Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to rewrite God of War, the studio adaptation of the video game from Sony Computer Entertainment.

Melton and Dunston made their names writing four installments of the Saw horror franchise. To branch out, they wrote a spec called Monstropolis which was well-regarded and caught the attention of the makers of Pacific Rim. Their work with Guillermo del Toro on Rim has now set them on the action tentpole path.

Namco Bandai and ShiftyLook announce Klonoa: Dream Traveller of Noctis Sol
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-14/big-o-hitoshi-ariga-draws-klonoa-webcomic-for-shiftylook
Quote
Namco Bandai Games' ShiftyLook webcomic project announced at its panel at San Diego Comic Con on Saturday that manga creator Hitoshi Ariga (Big O, Mega Man Megamix, Megaman Gigamix) will be illustrating a webcomic adaptation of the classic video game franchise Klonoa. This is the first time ShiftyLook is using a Japanese manga artist for one of its webcomics, and ShiftyLook has provided ANN with exclusive art for the new series (see below).

Klonoa will be written by Jim Zub. It will premiere on the ShiftyLook website in August, and it will be updated on Mondays and Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Rob Pereyda, Producer and Editor-in-Chief of ShiftyLook, told ANN, "When we did the survey with ANN when we originally launched ShiftyLook back in March, we were pleasantly surprised to see just how popular Klonoa still is with anime fans. Their insatiable demand for more Klonoa content led us to the decision to develop a brand-new set of adventures in webcomic form. And it helps immensely that Jim Zub is a die-hard Klonoa fan."

Klonoa had ranked at #2 on ANN's poll in February with 18.84% of the votes. ShiftyLook also chose to adapt the Time Crisis video game into a webcomic based on ANN's poll.

Zub provided ANN with the following comment:

The first time I played Klonoa, I was blown away by its intricate balance of 2D gameplay in a beautiful D-rendered world. It really stuck with me as one of the best Playstation 1 Games I ever played. By the time Klonoa 2 was released, just over 10 years ago, I was well and truly hooked. Namco had Taken a great game and made it better in every way - art, Design, game play and story. I've been a big fan ever since. I Feel that Klonoa is right at the top with other great game mascot characters like Mario and Sonic.

Getting the chance to create a brand new adventure story for Klonoa with NAMCO BANDAI on ShiftyLook and being able to collaborate with legendary mangaka Hitoshi Ariga on it is an absolute dream come true. I love the source material and am working hard to ensure that Klonoa: Dream Traveller of Noctis Sol lives up to the legacy of this amazing franchise. I truly hope longtime fans of Klonoa and new readers alike dive in and enjoy.

Viz Media published Ariga's Big O manga, and Udon Entertainment published Ariga's three-volume Mega Man Megamix and the three-volume Megaman Gigamix manga in North America.

ShiftyLook also announced at its panel that it will create and stream two web animation series titled Bravoman: Cartoon of Unequalled Excellence and Mappy: The Beat. Additionally, the company will host webcomic adaptations for the 1980's vertical-scrolling arcade game Dragon Spirit and the 1990 arcade shooter game Golly! Ghost!.

DC Entertainment has got some catching up to do if it wants to catch up with Marvel Studios’ slate of superhero movies, but they’re trying their best to rise to the challenge. Although Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel is the only DC movie due out in the next three years, Warner Bros. has a slew of other comic book adaptations in various states of development at the moment, among them the long-simmering Lobo adaptation.

The project’s been kicking around for a few years, and at one point had Guy Ritchie attached to helm. He eventually moved on, though, and this past spring Brad Peyton was announced to rewrite and direct. Now he’s trying to get his charismatic Journey 2: The Mysterious Island star Dwayne Johnson to help him bring the story to life.
 
Whispers of Johnson attaching himself to a DC movie have been swirling for a while, and the star himself added fuel to the fire a few months ago when he hinted via Twitter that he could have something in the works with the studio. At the time, we weren’t sure just what that meant, but he gets more explicit in a newer tweet (via The Playlist). “Rumors of me possibly playing LOBO are true,” he wrote over the weekend. “Joel Silver and Brad Peyton working on it now. That could be fun.

Yeah, that's what we need.  The guy who starred in the goddamn Tooth Fairy playing Lobo.

Louis C.K. at least got a best comedy actor nomination. But still... Obama

Also it seems Community DID get one nomination, but in writing, for Remedial Chaos Theory (the one with the different timelines). However, I'm still just as angry, as Archer didn't get either a voice over nomination nor a best animated series nomination. Because apparently "The Penguins of Madagascar: The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole" is funnnier.

fuck you emmys stop being terrible

EDIT: oh well it looks like Glee only got one nomination, and it was for guest actress. So this year is slightly better than previous ones!

EXCLUSIVE: Jon M. Chu is in talks to helm Masters Of The Universe, a live-action film based on the signature Mattel toy line that is in high gear at Sony Pictures and Escape Artists.

Talks are just getting underway with Chu, who is in the middle of a 3D conversion on G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and is preparing to shoot a couple of new scenes for the film, which was pushed to a March 29, 2013 release by Paramount. The Masters film revolves around He-Man, a prince who transforms into a warrior and becomes the last hope for a magical world that has been ravaged by the sinister Skeletor.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K, dudes: Vulture hears exclusively that a long-thought-impossible third Bill & Ted film is coalescing -- and yes, both Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are attached to star.

Original Bill & Ted creators Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson have also attached Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) to direct their script. Unlike so many recent studio remakes, which have simply recycled old material for a new generation, Solomon and Matheson took the unusual step of writing their third Bill & Ted script on spec in an attempt to ensure a take that would address where Mssrs. Ted Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esq. are in their lives today as opposed to being a reboot or remake. Insiders tell Vulture the hope is to make a mid-priced studio comedy like Hot Tub Time-Machine.

Quote
"I tried to read the “Robocop” remake, but 20 pages in my nose started bleeding and I forgot my name. #nobueno #reallynobueno

I’ll share this one detail. In the film, when Murphy is turned into Robocop 1.0, it’s described “a high-tech version of the ’80s suit.” Then they show a focus group scene where criminals laugh at the design. “He looks like a toy from the ’80s!” So they redesign him to look “meaner” as Robocop 2.0, who passes focus group approval. So they not only make sure to include the original design, they also point out it’s dated and stupid. *facepalm*

Hold onto your sides for more hilarious “Robocop” details. They outsource his construction to China. #seriously

And we meet the ED-209s in the field in Iran, where they’re used to subdue suicide bombers. #ineedallthedrinksnow

Short version: this script makes my stomach hurt very, very badly.

Ahhh… now they just dropped Robocop 3.0 onto an Al Queda training camp to see what he does.

“He should be programmed to incapacitate in all scenarios.” “Agreed. Let’s keep him PG-13, Dr. Norton.” No. No. No. No.

By page 54, they are already onto Robocop 4.0, who looks like a “cop on steroids painted metallic blue.”

Oh, god… oh dear god… Robocop is a Transformer. He goes from “social mode” to “combat mode” and back. Full transformation.

I’m going to go stand in my backyard and scream at the moon for a while. My brain needs a shower.

Write it down. Page 55, the “Robocop” remake beat me. I’m done. I can’t hurt more than this.

Okay… the two “best” lines in the script. First up is at the unveiling ceremony for Robocop in Detroit, from a TV reporter covering it. “I think it’s safe to say that Alex Murphy is now part man, part machine, ALL COP!” Yes, I too remember the original poster, asshat. Second, after the traumatic first meeting with his father, Alex’s son retreats to the apartment of Lewis, Murphy’s male partner. The scene ends with the action line “David sits, catatonic, looks at the TV — MGM REMAKE TBD.”

Good god… it just keeps topping itself. It’s like someone wrote a script scientifically fine-tuned to destroy me. Someone shows Pope, head of the OCP project, some mock-ups for Robocop action figures. “Are you kidding? I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar!” Yeah, that just happened. NOT SO FUNNY NOW, IS IT?!

When this thing hits theaters, people are going to call up Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall” on the phone and apologize for being so mean. “I’m sorry, ‘Total Recall.’ I had no idea how bad things could get. You’re starting to look like a masterpiece right about now.”

I’ll say this: once the script stops all the winky-winky crap and just starts telling a story, it’s not terrible. But it’s way too late. If you can get past Robocop The Transformer, there are some interesting action beats. And I’m sure Padilla will direct the hell out of it. But overall? Ouch. Ouch. Ohpleasedon’t. Ouch. And a big side order of ouch."

What?
Quote
They duo told us they really want to get back to Batman’s detective roots. Watson says this series will be different in three prominent ways: “One: it’s the first CGI Batman show which is a huge part of it. Two: we’re taking Batman far back into his roots of being a detective. At its core, the show is a procedural. Even though Batman has his gadgets and his gear and his cars, at his core, it’s about a guy looking at clues and figuring things out and putting the pieces together so that ultimately he can solve the crime with his brain as opposed to just with his fists. And the third biggest difference is that you’re not going to see any villains that have ever been shown before in any animated show. There’s no Joker, Penguin, or Riddler. It’s all new villains pulled from the DC universe who are either well known or not known at all. All of those things give the show a completely different feel than shows in the past.”
Sounds great to me.

The last good Star Wars series was the Clone Wars cartoon that the guy who made Dexter's Laboratory made. It actually managed to make the prequels look cool, and General Grievous was a badass. Hell even Anakin was a badass.

New Line is still trying to make that Y: The Last Man movie happen. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/new-line-readies-y-the-last-man-movie-again,84796/) While a script from "former writers from Jericho" doesn't inspire a lot of confidence from me, I think it's a step up from the previous director, DJ Caruso.

Plus it means Shia LeBeouf probably isn't gonna play Yorick, and that's probably the best news ever.

And even better: it'll be a reboot of The Brave Little Toaster, now with 100% more iPhones!!! (http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-brave-little-toaster-to-get-cgi-remake-with-ta,84923/)

Well, I almost had a heart attack, because I saw an article with the words "Mark Millar", "creative director", and "Marvel movies" in the title. But worry not, true believers! It's only Fox's Marvel movies! (http://www.avclub.com/articles/mark-millar-will-now-be-the-creative-consultant-on,85815/) So he'll be overseeing the two X-Men movies (X-Men: Days of Future Past and the "I can't believe they're going with that title" X-Men movie, The Wolverine), as well as a Fantasic Four reboot. And this is all a really bad idea because Millar is terrible.

Now, for everyone besides the 4 people who know who I'm talking about: Mark Millar is a popular comic book writer who first became famous for his work at DC in the 90's, and then exploded in popularity when he began working pretty much exclusively at Marvel in the 00's. Unfortunatly, Millar's Marvel work has pretty much been universally terrible. His plots are boring, he changes characterizations to fit those plots, no matter how nonsensical they are, and he enjoys gratuitous violence and rape scenes.

His recent work has wiped out a lot of people's goodwill: Kick-Ass has all those troubling racial issues and that weird thing where they kept insisting it was totally realistic man, just ignore the katana wielding 11 year old who overpowers full-grown men. And Nemesis had this:
(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l98p8n4rQ21qbcsb2.png)
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.comicsalliance.com/media/2010/12/vaginatrap.jpg)
Yeah. That happened.

So anyway, that's all creator owned stuff, who cares? What about his Marvel stuff? Well he did launch Ultimate X-Men way back in 2001, and that was sort of OK? Despite Wolverine sleeping with a 19 year old Jean Grey? I dunno? Oh, and Ultimate Fantastic Four. That was pretty lame. OK, let's move onto mainstream Marvel stuff. Civil War's characterization of Iron Man and those on his side as a bunch of literal facists has been something the Marvel universe has been struggling to undo. Real nice work there, Mark. Hmm, there was that Spider-Man run he did where he revealed Electro is bisexual because he liked getting raped in prison, because that's how things work. Ooh, and there his shitty Fantastic Four run where, among other things, he had Dr. Doom bow before his previously unseen (and unknown, because it makes no sense) master...

I can't wait until Marvel gets their characters back.

Goddard Film Group's producing team of Gary Goddard, Roger Lay Jr and Eric Carnagey are working with former Paramount Television Senior Executive Jeffrey Hayes, who was responsible for such television hits as STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION, FAMILY TIES, and CHEERS, to bring back Goddard's Sci-fi Cult classic CAPTAIN POWER AND THE SOLDIERS OF THE FUTURE in the form of a weekly one-hour drama series titled PHOENIX RISING.

They have enlisted writers/producers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens to develop this next evolution of the series. Recent television credits for the Reeves-Stevens include creating the new science-fiction drama series PRIMEVAL: NEW WORLD, the North American spin-off of the UK hit PRIMEVAL. They also served as writers/producers on STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE for Paramount and RACE TO MARS for Discovery.

Giancarlo Esposito? :)

No? OK fine because people hunger for another serialized genre show like Lost, and it follows a predictable cycle. First it premieres well, then they drag out the central mystery and don't offer any answers to some question or even good character moments (which is how Lost sustained itself). That causes people to lose interest and stop watching. And then the show gets canceled and never answers the questions it raised. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

or TL;DR version

the viewers were loaded, OKAAAAAY?

It just looked so BAD in the trailers.
It seems to be getting bad to mediocre reviews, so yeah, it's not very good. But hey, it could be worse, it could be The New Normal!

I wasn't crazy at all about Ultimate Avengers and The Civil War series sucked hard.
It was demoralizing and painful to read as a whole.  I hoped for it to get better as the series continued but it only did the opposite.
At least Mark has nothing to do with the horrid X-men Vs. Avengers series which ironically, follows a similar path as the Civil War story.

Yeah it's not very good. The art is nice but making Cap a horrible racist caricature is the worst idea ever. And all the characters are unlikable douches and everything is made XTREME: Hulk eats people! Hank Pym doesn't just accidentally hit his wife once, he abuses her and then LITERALLY TRIES TO KILL HER. WITH BUG SPRAY (and ants)! Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are totally banging (although I guess it was still ambiguous until Loeb made it explicit because Loeb is a terrible terrible terrible writer)! Hawkeye's family gets killed and he escapes from captivity by killing people with his fingernails! And what can be said about that comment by Cap about France?

There were some interesting things in there, like Thor maybe being a crazy hippie and not actually a god, but then all ambiguity was removed to have a Lord of the Rings battle at the end of volume 2. And of course, making Ultimate Nick Fury Samuel L. Jackson is genius, but pretty much everything else is just awful.

He really didnt had a choice , ironman blasted it apart, it possessed the strongest five mutants avaliable.

four of them were ex villains, and went mad pretty fast, but while they were still all okay they were helping people all over the world. Cyclops was still sane even with the full power boost, and then they had to press him until he snapped and went insane.

Now suddenly its his fault that he was possessed?

No, it is that after it happened, he thought he'd be special enough to control it. Last time I looked at it, he was thinking "hey, you know, if I kill Emma, I'll get all of the Phoenix Force just for me."
edit - and of course before it happened the very idea that it was possible to use for themselves a cosmic force that spends time turning worlds to space dust, doesn't give a shit about Earth, and has never once met its match in the universe, was ridiculous. This kind of storyline has been used before, except it was always the villain trying to do that. Now the hero thinks he's special enough to succeed in doing something they themselves have always stopped villains from doing.

Do you really read comics? the phoenix was jean grey for years being good. The hellfire club manipulated her and made her evil. Before that the phoenix was NOT blowing up planets etc etc. The avengers fucked up the whole plan of allowing hope to use the force to bring back mutants. Which is what it came there FOR. Because of stupid ass wanda's "NO MORE MUTANTS"

I agree the storyline was stupid as shit. But to say the phoenix force was always evil is just silly. Because it's not.

They should have just ended it with S5 like the creator wanted. It was perfect. Though, yes.... I'm still watching too for some reason. But I'm not liking it!!!

Also WOOT! new Godzilla?! Very pumped!

at least the car is back and here and there funny lines ... that is the only good point so far.

Do you really read comics? the phoenix was jean grey for years being good. The hellfire club manipulated her and made her evil. Before that the phoenix was NOT blowing up planets etc etc. The avengers fucked up the whole plan of allowing hope to use the force to bring back mutants. Which is what it came there FOR. Because of stupid ass wanda's "NO MORE MUTANTS"

I agree the storyline was stupid as shit. But to say the phoenix force was always evil is just silly. Because it's not.
I guess I didn't read about all that and mostly saw it associated with the danger of the Dark Phoenix, but in my defense the first issue of AvX straight out redefines the Phoenix as that ("a parasitic force of destruction that lays waste to the environment"), with confirmation from the likes of galactic cop Nova. With that definition, Cyclops is a dumbass, and seeing the contradiction with what you say, the story is just worthless, making heroes do the exact same thing as the villains they usually battle.

At this point, the Phoenix is actually a parasitic force of retcons that lays waste to continuity.

Nova is the idiot who didn't know what he was talking about. The phoenix was sent there to restore mutants. the avengers didn't allow the X-men to deal with it and set everything into motion. And no,they weren't acting like villains. Cyclops was trying to let hope have the phoenix so she could restore the mutant race (which she did). Then Iron man shot the phoenix while everyone was on the moon and split the force into 5 pieces. After this the 5 who got it DID NOT DESTROY SHIT. They fixed the world up. And the president was weary so the Avengers decided to keep poking at cyclops over and over. Until he finally snapped.

Cyclops was right in the end. And captain america along with Wolverine are giant idiotic tools.

that was after he had enough of the avengers prodding. before that they were fixing the world up. And slowly the phoenix started to bring out more of their worse traits.

This whole event was bullshit though. It was a lame way to change the status quo. And basically make wolverine sole leader of all the X-men.

this is wrong for SO many reasons.

Exactly. When the hero becomes Dark Phoenix and starts Armageddon on the whole planet in a matter of minutes and is ready to erase mankind and the planet saying "the world will burn to ashes and a new world will rise" you're a little past the point where you can say "oh, he snapped". Even being "pushed" into it by others is just blinding yourself. The point is, in this story, this is what the Phoenix does. It does sound like the writer just went to town with whatever he wanted and ignored everything else.

Post by: Neocide on October 06, 2012, 03:52:17 am
I'm not denying the nature of dark phoenix. That wasn't my point. The point was he wasn't going darker when they all were fixing shit. They were making the world a better place. No one was doing anything bad. The avengers show up at utopia and attacked the kids at the house. They were watching tv and out of nowhere the avengers just beat the crap out of them.

Then again they attacked him, not trying to talk just blatantly attacked him he still hadn't done shit at this point. It was just way too forced. They tried to do the same thing in civil war with Iron man and Cap. this time Cyclops is Cap and Cap is Iron man. The end of it has captain america pouting like a little baby. While cyclops accepts everything that happened during the whole fiasco.

Coulson Lives! Today at New York Comic Con's Marvel Television panel, Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb announced -- by way of a special video starring The Avengers director Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige -- that Clark Gregg will be reprising his role as Agent Coulson in ABC's upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series.

"There was never going to be a 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' show without Agent Phil Coulson," said Feige in the clip shown in the middle of the panel. "He's headlining the S.H.I.E.L.D. show and always was," said Whedon.

Coulson's upcoming adventures on TV follow his appearances in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and The Avengers, plus the marvel movie shorts "The Consultant" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer."

Agent Phil Coulson proved so popular onscreen that he's now an animated character (voiced by Gregg) on Disney XD's Ultimate Spider-Man and has been integrated into the mainstream Marvel comic book continuity as well.

The status of the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series on ABC has been tentative up to this point despite the mega success of the Avengers film and persistent casting rumors. With the announcement of Gregg's involvement, however, its fate as a full series seems potentially cemented.

The ins-and-outs of how Coulson, who died battling Loki in The Avengers, will find his way back to the land of the living are still unclear. Theories joked about by Gregg himself at the panel include his death being faked in the film by way of one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s famous life model decoys, resurrection via being reincarnated as Vision, and the UK's censored cut of his death in The Avengers. Of course, these could all be moot if the new S.H.I.E.L.D. series simply takes place BEFORE the events seen in previous Marvel films.

The idea of Clark quitting the Daily Planet isn't in and of itself horrible, but the direction they're going with this seems god-awful. But that's to be expected for Lobdell. I mean, just read that preview, it's a lame copy of the scene in All-Star Superman where Superman tests his strength but this time the scientist is a hot lady and also he's been lifting weights for 5 days (!!!) because it's not like he has other obligations like saving the world or anything. And then there's a mention about half the world hating Superman because DC has no handle on their universe and thinks it'd be a good idea to lose their defining elements of a populace that implicitly trusts superheroes, especially Supes. And then of course there's that page where Lois has lost all journalistic credibility because the writer can't show the Clark is right without making Lois a complete idiot who has lost all her ethics.

And really, it isn't that bad compared to this gem that was mentioned:

Issue No. 13 is a prelude to the upcoming “H’el on Earth” story line, in which Superman crosses paths with H’el, a tragic character from Superman’s home planet, Krypton.

Agree, right off the bat in this article they have this quote saying "Clark Kent is not just Superman's disguise" well you know, yes, actually, he is... Making him someone who wants to take a bigger place in the active life (and the spotlight) is against his initial need to completely blend in, it just them wanting to have socially active & meaningful characters, even those that are supposed to be the exact opposite of that. It's one thing that people close to him don't recognize him just because of a haircut and a pair of glasses, it's another if he starts being louder for the whole world to look at him and hear his voice which he thinks is more important.

Hm, I dunno. He kind of isn't just a disguise, since Crisis on Infinite Earths. Before Superman was the real him, and Clark was just a mask. They flipped it because it makes more sense the other way: Superman is Clark's superhero identity, but the way he acts around his parents and Lois is the true person. Someone (I don't remember who) described Superman being 3 people: Smallville Clark (his true self), Metropolis Clark (an exaggerated, bumbling version of the former but shares his same basic personality) and Superman (a more stoic and trying to be a symbol). It's kind of like the whole Batman having different personalities thing, except Superman's aren't really separate personalities but instead how he behaves in front of different people (which is something everyone does).

Making him someone who wants to take a bigger place in the active life (and the spotlight) is against his initial need to completely blend in, it just them wanting to have socially active & meaningful characters, even those that are supposed to be the exact opposite of that. It's one thing that people close to him don't recognize him just because of a haircut and a pair of glasses, it's another if he starts being louder for the whole world to look at him and hear his voice which he thinks is more important.
I'm of two minds about this: on the one hand I think that Clark would never stop himself from doing something he thinks is right because it would jeopardize his disguise. On the other hand, he can't be careless about this kind of thing and becoming someone like Arianna Huffington is definitely going to raise his profile (even if he's usually been portrayed as being pretty famous for a reporter)

so yeah I dunno, he could pretty easily get Batman to be the public head of this news thing, I guess? That'd make much more sense because Bruce Wayne would get all the attention while Clark could do all the reporting. But maybe that idea makes too much sense for DC.

Other comic book news - Eddie Brock is now Toxin. 

Maybe I'm late to the party, but this could of been interesting and is now just bleh.  Toxin was always one of the more interesting symbiotes b/c he actually had a relationship with his host (they had conversations mentally and such).  And the host actually had a large degree on control over the symbiote, so it wasn't just the same old mindless rampage thing that we get with Venom a lot.  But now, it's is/was bonded to Brock and we get the mindless rampage version.  It's probably due to the fact that the new Venom is essentially the Toxin of before (human looking symbiote acting like a hero with a constantly struggle for control), but why couldn't we just leave Brock and Toxin alone?  Why mash them together into another generic symbiote character?

oh and the show is from a Big Bang Theory writer, in case you had any semblance of hope for the world left

next, Andy Serkis aka Gollum is going to do his mo-cap thing for an adaptation of Animal Farm, which he will also direct. But don't worry guys, Serkis is gonna make this version of Animal Farm "family-friendly"!

What’s more, they’ve learned that Jamie Foxx is negotiating to take the role.

An angry Jamie Foxx is pretty scary. It was inevitable he’d get cast as a villain in a big tentpole sooner or later. I fancy that they’ll shave his head an go the Ultimate route.

New 52 is what happens when you let Liefield run your comics.
To be fair new 52 Constantine seems to be doing pretty well and the writer for his new book is pretty good so who knows.

does it make the marvel ultimate universe look like a masterpiece ?
Depends on what book; like, I'd say it makes the middling to kinda bad ones (like Millar's X-Men and Ultimates and I dunno that one with Ultimate Batman and Robin knockoffs) seem like masterpieces. But nothing will ever make Loeb's stuff a masterpiece. Not even Catwoman (my face doesn't appear for 2 pages, but you can see my ass and tits as I get dressed!) or Batman (Joker cuts his face off for some reason) or Suicide Squad (Amanda Waller is now a thin woman in her late 20's, also juggalette Harley Quinn is making out with Deadshot after she put the Joker's severed face over his mask). Those still don't come close to the systematic destruction of an entire line perpetrated by Loeb.

TBH, I liked Ultimate Spider Man b4 the Loeb Massacre of the line, and of course the "NEW AND IMPROVED ULTIMATE SPIDER MAN" who was an obvious PR stunt from the get go.

I wonder what Animal Man (which so far seems like the only good new 52 comic to me) makes Loeb's stuff look like.

They were recently talking about making 2099 come back, so it might fit, though I wouldn't say it's automatically that.
Miles may be called a PR stunt but at the end of the day it's not illogical, demographically speaking, and using Spider-Man is better than characters like Luke Cage who only looks like Dumb Muscle at first glance, and Black Panther is rare. Why not, no reason to hate it just for that. They only have to make it look decent.

More seriously: the book had a very unique narrative and way of looking at a zombie apocalypse and the movie has basically discarded every single thing from the book save for the name. I understand that there was no way a movie version would use the mockumentary format and I made piece with that when the movie was first announced, but this trailer is just... awful. I mean, goddamn fucking seas of CGI zombies climbing over one another like it's the battle of fucking Helm's Deep. The GOT TO SAVE MY FAMILY subplot. Brad Pitt being the chosen hero who must save humanity for some reason. And of course they're fast zombies because fuck you.

It just feels like this was made by Roland Emmerich, with the CGI tidal waves taken out and replaced by hordes of CGI fast moving zombies.

So for those of you who are hooked on Criterion Collection stuff, today they just released Heaven's Gate, which has the Criterion fans divided between factions of "this film is underrated excellence" and "this film is dog shit." Criterion responded by releasing a clip from the movie of Christopher Walken being unironically bad ass.



Their upcoming lineup of other films looks decent, but I'm mostly hyped for Sansho the Bailiff coming out in next year February. That film is wonderful.

Everything the kid says makes sense. And even if I liked the show when Charlie Sheen was on, the show needs to die ASAP.

Angus has a 1 more year contract, and given what he said, he probably won't sign a new one even if offered, so Chuck Lorre should start thinking about how to wrap this shit up for good with a little dignity.

If that's the case, I hope he gets cancer in the balls.

I mean, he has successfully put together many sitcoms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Lorre). He knows how to assemble a cast, to set a situation and theme, he should just start over instead of puttin on this morbid show on "see how long this car can run on fumes".

People just watch the show to see when/why/how it will crash and burn, and not anymore because it's funny.

This is not really newsworthy but I thought it was vaguely amusing so: The casting call for that Wonder Woman show called Amazon was released, and the description of WW herself is a bit weird. (http://www.deadline.com/2012/11/cw-warner-bros-explore-casting-the-lead-in-wonder-woman-origin-project-meet-iris/): "delighted—and just as often horrified—by the aspects of everyday life that we take for granted: skyscrapers, traffic, ice cream".

Yes, Wonder Woman will be scared of ice cream. I wonder if that's just a jab at last year's Wonder Woman pilot?

Anyways, I was sort of bothered by this part: "And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times."

If they're going with her traditional origin, then why would she be completely inexperienced with dealing with other people? I'm not saying that she would fit right in, she's from an isolated island with a weird kinda backwards but also simultaneously advanced culture. And also the whole "never meeting a man until adulthood" thing. I'm probably just nitpicking though.

Also kinda disappointed by "And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer.", because the George Perez and Greg Rucka runs, the only two runs in WW's history that could be called classic heavily focused on dealing with WW as an ambassador of Themyscira.

An MMO?  I dunno, Megas is a bit old to be coming out with something like that now.  As great as it was when it was around, it also wasn't exactally CN/Toonami's top show, either.

Besides, they bariely considered adding Megas when CN came out with Fusionfall.

Which reminds me, wonder what's going on with that little project of theirs...

Anyways, if it weren't for that tag to that Disney show, I would have guessed this was just another previous CN show moving to Adult Swim, maybe with a reboot, considering it's tagged to Valve, and Adult Swim and Valve have some sort of partnership going on that they haven't done much with.

They should of never replaced Stephanie Brown.  Barbara had outgrown the Batgirl role and putting her back in it left very limited space for any writer to effectively create a compelling story.  Simone really got the short end of the stick when she got stuck with the Batgirl comic.

Stephanie was great, and barbara was way more important as oracle. Dc went backwards with a lot of things. Like dick not being a batman anymore. I loved that. he feels like he took a step backward.

That was Kelly.
Huh, it is.

I could've sworn it was Simone...

My rule of thumb when it comes to Deadpool:
If you think of a Deadpool moment and you remember it looking like Joe Mad, it was Kelly.
If you remember the moment and it looks like Street Fighter, it's Simone.
If you remember the moment and it looks like a painting, it's Remender.
If you remember the moment and it was shit, it's Way. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Dick going back to Nightwing I can kind of rationalize since he was Batman for a shorter amount of time.  It always struck me as a more temporary thing anyways.  But I agree with you on Oracle - she was Oracle for so long and was a much more intriguing character as Oracle.  Hell, I find it odd that Barbara's still prominently featured as Oracle in the Arkham City universe while she switched back in the comics.  God, I hope they don't have her switch back to Batgirl in the Arkham-verse.

Hey, DC fans!  Do you still have hope for the New 52?  Do you still think something good can come out of this gigantic clusterfuck of truly awful retcons and redesigns?  Well, then allow me to squash that hope once and for all.  Allow me to introduce the gritty, edgy, New 52 version of:

(using this link since Bleeding Cool had to remove the picture)

Quote
A teaser for the upcoming Hollywood reboot of king of kaiju, Godzilla, screened at this past summer's Comic Con. It opens with shots of a destroyed city and the voice of J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atomic bomb) heard reading from the Bhagavad Gita – “Now, I am become death.” A centipede-like creature crawls through the rubble, then the dust clears and Godzilla roars in. That fades to the English and Japanese movie logo. For the first time, we can see that damage.

(http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/8f87c5c7290aa1112c27b7297e8d7a921355856841_full.jpg)

The new Hollywood Godzilla will be directed by Gareth Edwards, who previously wrote, directed and created visual effects for 2010 indie kaiju/road trip movie Monsters. Concerning the teaser, Edwards told the SDCC audience, "I wanted to see this movie this way all my life." The director continued, "I've never worked this hard and this long that lasted this few seconds since I lost my virginity."


"We're going to take it seriously. If this really hapened, what would it be like? It's very grounded [and] realistic." 


“There is nothing sci-fi about this movie,” Edwards said. "If this really happened, what would this be like?"

(http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/5080d09313f1b4e230fe2b7129709bf51342455960_full.jpg)

Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3) signed onto the project in October for a rewrite of the script. David Callahan (The Expendables), David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) and Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son) scripted earlier versions.

 

According to Variety, the polish wasn't being done because studio Legendary Pictures has any major problems with the script; it wanted to age up the characters so that they fit the prototype of the actors they would like to target.

 

Casting is expected to begin soon with the movie slated for May 2014.

The Vampire Diaries is actually a pretty great show, it goes through entire seasons worth of plot in single episodes.

So I dunno, maybe the Battle Royale show could've been good, but the CW has a really terrible track record with a few exceptions.

well, there is still a chacne that in another 2 years they revive the battle royale project, after all they already did that once and hunger games hype should still last a few mroe years because there are 3 novels, afaik.

I AM BECOME HATE

Ok. Calm down. So, Syfy canceled one of my favorite shows, Alphas, a smart, thoughtful sci-fi show about people with superpowers that often reflected their own mental issues. It was well-written, funny, and the acting was great (it had David motherfucking Strathairn!), and subtly explored mental illness through an X-Men like lens (http://www.avclub.com/articles/why-syfys-superhero-series-alphas-is-tvs-best-show,87682/).

So obviously that had to go to make way for shit like Ghost Mine. Ghost Mine. Seriously. Fucking Ghost Mine. I hate you Syfy. You cancel Eureka, and cut down it's final season to one episode (there was gonna be a musical episode you assholes) without telling them until the last minute, leaving them scrambled. And then this happens. Fuck you Syfy, you're almost as bad of a network as NBC. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH

The channel indeed gotten worse and worse since the name change, but they at least had a few token actual science fictiony shows. And now there's what, two? And the rest of their programming is wrestling or UFC or whatever and ghost shit? UGH

And speaking of terrible decisions, FX may split into two different channels, one for older viewers (featuring dramas like Justified and Sons of Anarchy) and one for youngers viewers (featuring comedies like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League and... Anger Management :noo:). The younger-skewing channel would take the place of Fox's soccer channel, because lol soccer, and which might pose problems because said soccer channel is not always on cable packages. Also, the dramatic channel would keep the name FX, while the comedic channel would be called "FXX".

Yes, seriously. So, to sum it up:

Network television is run by out of touch suits and dinosaurs. Its decisions like this that only quicken its inevitable downfall. They cancelled Alphas? Are they frickin' serious? The show was getting darker, and gaining more emotional resonance plus David Stratharin's arc in season 2 was brilliantly done. There was just so much that the new show-runners were getting right with this show, they made you interested in every character. I just can't like anything anymore. Decent, ambitious, well made programming will always be cancelled before its given its due. If it ain't Ghost Hunters I guess it ain't happening. I'm still going to hope against hope that they'll revive Alphas like Fox did with Family Guy, its honestly the only reason I had left to tune into SyFy at all since I can catch a Twilight Zone marathon on youtube if so inclined..

Oh and I'm pretty sure that SyFy is a part of the NBC Universal mega-corporation family so this cancellation order seems well in line with Jack Donaghy's master plan to nuke the network by terminating decent shows and replacing them with God Cop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy_sMrsOVJU) or yet another run of M.I.L.F.

FX had some sports recently (college football and UFC coverage) but, yeah. That's FX in a nutshell: Reruns of old shows and (edited) movies with a bit of really good original programming (that is going to be split apart because whoever runs FX is probably about as smart as a vegatable)

And of course David Stratharin was really fucking good.

There was just so much that the new show-runners were getting right with this show
I remember when I was worried the new show runners were going to make the show lighter and more episodic. I was so happy when the exact opposite occurred. But now all of that is over because Ghost Mine and whatever the fuck that reality show about dark rooms is called. The one hosted by Urkel. UGH

In happier news, Archer's ratings have gone up (http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/01/good-job-everyone-a-lot-of-people-watched-archer-less-people-watched-anger-management/), which doesn't happen most of the time for continuing shows.

...why are you all looking at me like that and why are some of you holding baseball bats?

Sure the science on DT isn't exactly solid and half the show is more travel ad than anything productive, and sure they really abuse cheap tension-building tactics to sandwich commercial breaks.  But I appreciate and enjoy Gates' humor and antics along the way.  That and they honestly seem to care about trying to find whatever they're looking for, doing things you just don't see people do on similar "chasing things that may or may not be there" shows.    Plus, considering how rare it is they find anything even slightly related to what they were looking for, I'm inclined to believe they aren't making shit up for ratings like the Ghost Hunters.

As for Face/Off, I find watching them make and apply makeup and prosthetics to be an interesting process.

Quote
We had the unbelievable pleasure of hosting a conversation between three amazing artists: the legendary movie poster artist Drew Struzan, director Frank Darabont and genre powerhouse actor (currently on Being Human) Sam Witwer. Throughout the week we will be sprinkling tidbits from this amazing round table and eventually releasing the entire audio file. Listening to these three creators talk what they do will knock you over. But for now, here's a taste of the awesomeness to come, starting with Darabont's thoughts on his most recent project, Godzilla (which he is currently rewriting).

Godzilla has its origins as an allegory for the atom bomb, but today it's more of a straightforward monster movie. Do you want to restore some of that allegorical significance to the franchise?

Frank Darabont: What I found very interesting about Godzilla is that he started off definitely as a metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And some of the atom bomb testing we were doing in the South Pacific in the subsequent years. The giant terrifying force of nature that comes and stomps the shit out of your city, that was Godzilla. Filtered through the very fanciful imaginations of the Japanese perception. And then he became Clifford the Big Red Dog in the subsequent films. He became the mascot of Japan, he became the protector of Japan. Another big ugly monster would show up and he would fight that monster to protect Japan. Which I never really quite understood, the shift.

What we're trying to do with the new movie is not have it camp, not have it be campy. We're kind of taking a cool new look at it. But with a lot of tradition in the first film. We want this to be a terrifying force of nature. And what was really cool, for me, is there was a very compelling human drama that I got to weave into it. It's not that cliched, thinly disguised romance or bromance, or whatever. It's different, it's a different set of circumstances than you're used to seeing. And that's tremendously exciting as a writer when you're asked to do something else.

Sam Witwer: Is Godzilla going to represent a different kind of metaphor, something that we're dealing with as a culture? Because I'm working on a Mothra rewrite right now.

Frank Darabont: I think there is, but I do believe that there's a margin of interpretation, as Drew mentioned earlier. I love leaving a few crumbs on the table for the audience to determine what they think. Let them bring something to it as well. That's why a movie like The Green Mile is so satisfying or why The Mist is so satisfying to me. Because it stirs their participation and they have interpretation. I've heard metaphors that people apply to Shawshank Redemption, for example, that are fantastic that I never, ever would have thought of. And I say, you know what? You are absolutley right. That is exactly what it means to you. And how satisfying for me to have served you this meal and you identify flavors in it that I never even intended. That's one of the great rewards of what we do.

Sam Witwer: And then also pretending like you did it on purpose.

Frank Darabont: That's sometimes true. It depends on how much you want your ass kissed.

Are you looking to connect it to a different contemporary issue?

Frank Darabont: Yes I am, but I'm not going to give it away.

That's just a taste folks — stay tuned for a whole lot more, including some of the most amazing stories we've ever heard, courtesy of the master artist Drew Struzan.

At least it's on Adult Swim's Toonami. (That's on one night, at terrible hours...)

I would have been happier if they kept to the original Thundercats design, in looks and character, but it was still an ok show.

This re-boot...ugh, I do hope they're incorrect about that being the new look.  Was really hoping it would return to Adult Swim....it had its beginnings up on Space Ghost, next to Dexter's Lab and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, would have hoped it would be there again. (Besides, Aqua Teen and PPG reference each other enough times they should be on the same part of the network)  After CN's treatment with Genndy and these other re-boots on day-time CN, it already looks like this is going to fail.....even if it was the network's biggest show.

(http://www.avclub.com/articles/up-all-night-now-being-retooled-as-a-show-without,92320/) You know, the co-star. Without whom the show would collapse because it's about a couple raising a baby. The network is considering recasting the role with Lisa Kudrow, because why not.

I'm just... wow. I can't... what the fuck? They've been through 3 showrunners, a retooling at the beginning of the second season that made the show incredibly insular, and then they were retooling it again to turn it into a multi-cam sitcom, and now this. This is absolutely ridiculous.

I'm glad I stopped watching after the first episode of season 2. This show has never really been great, but it had the potential to be, and it was just a very pleasant show to watch; it wasn't always funny but it was just nice to hang out with the characters. So I will not mourn for Up All Night, but instead I will pour one out for wasted potential. Oh well.

This news is "a bit old", but I think you should know about it:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c8/The_Leading_Man_Comic.jpg)
The Leading Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Leading_Man_%28comics%29) is a 2006 comic made by Oni Press and it's about a famous actor who's also a secret agent and spy... and which boss in The Agency (secret organization which he's part of) is also his manager. Well, Universal Studios bought the rights to make this movie in 2011. There're 2 big facts about this:
-This would be the second movie based on Oni Press comics, the first one is Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (which also was made by Universal)
-Justin Lin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Lin), famous for Community TV series and Fast & Furious franchise will be the director of this adaptation

The reason I put this 2011 news is... The Leading Man would be the next Lin movie after he finish FF6?? I hope so, I read the comic and it's great, you should take a look ;) (in the news itself there's a review of it and some extract of creators' interview)

I guess they could adapt those 2 series, since Macross is a big enough franchise to be adapted by itself and most of us recognized it just as Macross instead just Robotech.

I know it's not technically part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it's Marvel movie news so whatever.

Quote
Deadline is reporting that Matthew Vaughn will produce the new Fantastic Four film for 20th Century Fox. Based on the classic Marvel Comics superheroes created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, the film is to be directed by Chronicle's Josh Trank and is a reboot and unconnected to the studio's previous efforts, Fantastic Four and its sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Vaughn's involvement with the FF reboot is unexpected but not really a surprise. As a director Vaughn has quite the comic book pedigree, having made X-Men: First Class for Fox, as well as films based on Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' Vertigo (not-really-a-comic-)book Stardust and Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr.'s Kick-Ass. Vaughn is also closely associated with Millar, who recently took a position at Fox where he'll consult on the studio's various superhero films, including Fantastic Four.

It doesn't really fit with the rest of the thread though, the MCU thread is about the entire cinematic universe and if we start including Fox and Sony's movies into it everything will be muddled!

The guy who made Kick-Ass and X-Men First Class is producing the Fantastic Four reboot.  So we may just end up with a good Fantastic Four movie.
I dunno, the fact that the Chronicle director is what makes me interested; producers only do so much, after all.

I just wish the F4 were relevant ... like, at all.
They were more relevant than Iron Man and Thor, even before the 2004 FF movie came out. And they got a sequel to that one too. They'll be fine.

That'll be shitty, it seems like The Thing costume is not that hard to pull since even the shitty 90's F4 had a great costume for him.
I thought the last two movies had a decent costume, they just needed bigger eyebrows. Or maybe Michael Chiklis made it seem better than it was, because that dude can act.

A Robosapien movie is actually being released (http://io9.com/5988110/robosapien-trailer-is-everything-that-is-wrong-with-our-world).

I'll let this speak for it:

Quote
This Robosapien trailer is a real trailer and not a Saturday Night Live sketch, despite all signs to the contrary. Producer—and heavily marketed as producer—Avi Arad's baby (one of the many faces behind the Sony-based Marvel movies), this might be the absolute worst thing we've ever seen in video trailer form. And that's before the Black Eyed Peas song starts up. Sweet Christ this is bad.

another idea under consideration:
Quote
Ultimately, a script was written in which Applegate, Arnett and Rudolph played actors portraying the characters Reagan, Chris and Ava on a fictional show called Up All Night. Off the show-within-a-show, Arnett's character would live at home with his mother, and Applegate's would be dating. Rudolph's real-life pregnancy was being written into the storyline — and included a "who's the daddy?" twist.

The changes were too much for Applegate, who quit on February 8 to focus on Anchorman 2

New Evil Dead remake trilogy planed. (http://www.slashfilm.com/evil-dead-2-script-already-in-the-works-remake-trilogy-planned/)

Quote
During the post-show Q&A last night the director and co-writer of the new installment of the horror series said “I guess this is an official announcement: We are already writing Evil Dead 2.”

Bruce Campbell, star and producer of the original, and a producer on this remake, chimed in to say that a trilogy is being imagined.

I wasn’t wild about this remake; it never quite unbinds itself from Raimi’s original. But I liked Jane Levy in the lead role, and the end of Alvarez’s Evil Dead suggested that there could be enough spirit left over for a second film. If this sequel can evolve into more of its own creature than something really dedicated to recreating what Raimi originated, I’ll be curious to see it.

For those wondering if the second film will remake Raimi’s own Evil Dead 2 (which featured a partial remake of Raimi’s original The Evil Dead) I would guess the answer is no. We don’t know that for certain, but the events of this film lead me to think the sequel will go in a different direction. As for the trilogy idea that Cambell mentioned, I would also guess that the third film would be something different than a remake of Raimi’s Army of Darkness. But that’s a guess based on the first film, and no one has let any specifics slip just yet.

Quote
Emmerich says he's also working with an art department staff to see how the world of ID Forever might look. "It's a changed world. It's like parallel history. [Humans] have harnessed all this alien technology. We don't know how to duplicate it because it's organically-grown technology, but we know how to take an antigravity device and put it in a human airplane," he explains. And while there may be some familiar faces in the sequels -- Bill Pullman has already confirmed that he is onboard; Will Smith has not -- their storylines will focus on a new generation of human heroes, including the stepson of Will Smith's Independence Day character (played in that film by Ross Bagley).

I've been a Hello Kitty fan ever since I was a wee Whit, and I still am to this day. (In fact, last week I mentioned a new HK children's book I got for my daughter!)

Today I'm psyched to tell you that the adorable feline is poised to star in an animated series for The Hub. The unexpected twist is that it'll be a mashup ... with Kiss.

Yes, I'm serious: Kiss Hello Kitty (working title) is now in development, and it's based on this line of Kiss x Hello Kitty products, which made its debut in 2010. The show will feature "four Kiss x Hello Kitty characters living their rock 'n' roll dreams and bringing pink anarchy to every situation they are in."

Kiss' Gene Simmons is slated to be one of the executive producers, and the band sounds pretty pumped about the project. Says Paul Stanley: "Knowing and viewing The Hub as I do daily with my three children, it is the perfect home for us to bring the Kiss Hello Kitty juggernaut to yet another generation."

You heard it here first, folks. I'll keep you posted on when the series will make its debut.

Quote
Director Fede Alvarez dropped a bomb on WonderCon audiences during an Evil Dead panel this Sunday in the Anaheim convention center n California.

Back when the red band trailer had been released, We had pointed out some interesting imagery that suggested that maybe the new Evil Dead, in theaters April 5, was actually a sequel. Alvarez confirmed this to the WonderCon crowd, while also adding something major.

He told audiences that an Evil Dead 2 (followed by a planned Evil Dead 3), and the recently announced Army of Darkness 2, will eventually crossover for the ultimate cult horror movie Evil Dead 7, reports Movieweb. So, after two sequels to the current remake – the remake universe will collide with the old “Ash” universe in a film that will amount to be the 4th installment in both franchises.

At this time, Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi are working on the screenplay for Army of Darkness 2, which will continue the story of Ash as seen in the original The Evil Dead from 1981. While Fede Alvarez might have been joking, suggests the site, who was on hand for the panel, he seemed serious when he said he plans to join both his new franchise together with Sam Raimi’s old franchise.

Hail the king, baby.

Just give him a big budget and have him crank out an animated Justice League movie Warner, c'mon.

So FX is splitting up into three different networks, one of which will seriously be called FXX: (http://www.avclub.com/articles/upfront-roundup-all-cable-is-fx-and-fx-is-all-cabl,95741/)
vanilla FX will have custody of all the dramas
FXX will get all the comedy shows, along with reruns of stuff like Arrested Development and Freaks and Geeks
FXM, will be a safe, welcoming place for those ads that keep saying FX HAS THE MOVIES that play every single commercial break. Oh and movies, probably.

David Zucker, fresh off such hilarious gems like An American Carol and Scary Movie V, has decided that now it would be a good time to reboot The Naked Gun, (http://www.avclub.com/articles/scary-movies-david-zucker-sees-no-reason-not-to-re,96308/) which was one of his earlier and less funny works.

I weep for the future.
I thought you liked The Naked Gun?

I wonder what it would take to pull off a Naked Gun kind of movie so people don't say it sucks. Comedy is way too varied and subjective these days, no movie can satisfy all niches and humours, and be considered universally funny.

Believe me, I just watched all of them a couple of weeks back, and they were silly as shit, filled with silly puns and silly physical comedies. By today's standards there's no way a movie like (or even the Naked Guns themselves) that would make a good box office hit.

Hey, I liked Heroes.  Yeah, the second and third seasons were complete ass, but that was when that idiotic writer's strike was going on and every show sucked during that time frame.  It got good again in Season 4, once the stupid strike was over and they actually had professional writers working on the show again.

That being said, I'm not exactly thrilled to hear that they're thinking of trying again.  Some things are better left dead.

Hey, I liked Heroes. 
I liked Heroes too! I was even among the people who thought, when the first half of the season was airing, that it was "Lost done right"! Of course, that sentiment faded away quickly, just compare their respective finales, with Lost's explosive, almost movie-quality two part season 3 finale (those explosive game changers: NOT PENNY'S BOAT, and WE HAVE TO GO BACK, KATE, god I'm getting chills just thinking about them). Heroes meanwhile did a nonsensical retread of Watchmen's ending, featuring the magically empty streets of New York, middling resolutions to the storylines, and an overall sense of "who cares".

And then the second season quickened the decline. The writer's strike certainly played its part, but it mostly affected their episode count, and the ability to tune up the existing scripts. A lot of season two's issues were ones that couldn't be touched up, they were deep and fundamental. Plus, tons of other shows were able to deal with the writers' strike (to bring up Lost again, they managed to do great, and even produced their single best episode, The Constant).

Yeah, the second and third seasons were complete ass, but that was when that idiotic writer's strike was going on and every show sucked during that time frame.  It got good again in Season 4, once the stupid strike was over and they actually had professional writers working on the show again.
Wait, what? The third season wasn't affected by it. (well I mean they did plan to do the first half of season 3 in season 2, but still). It was still watchable and there were a few good episodes here and there in both those seasons, but it was clear that they were never going to live up to the potential they showed (and displayed in episodes like "The Company Man"). Also, I think you're confusing the seasons with the volumes; season 3 had two, the first half being the wretched Papa Petrelli storyline, and the second half being the pretty good fugitive one (easy to see why it was better, Bryan Fuller came back for that half). Season 4 is the one with the evil carnies. Good lord, what an awful, terrible season. I couldn't keep watching it after 10 or so episodes. And it only got worse, from what I hear. Tim Kring just didn't know what he was doing. And when all the people who kept the show good left, it spiraled out of control.

Wasnt Loeb on S2 and S3?
Loeb came on right after the pilot, and left after the first half of season 3. He wrote some episodes and was a co-producer (which means he had some influence over the direction the show took, but I'm not sure of the specifics). He wrote some pretty wretched episodes, but they weren't the worst the show would do.

Post by: Byakko on April 20, 2013, 03:05:47 am
I hated Nathan all the way, and I hated Peter most of the time for just being useless. That goes for the entire seasons revolving around them by extension. The storylines were going in circle all the time, with characters being so dumb and blind and useless, believing anything they wanted and fuck the world. Quinto's character (forgot his name already) was pretty much the only interesting thing in the show. The starting concept was interesting but not that interesting, and not that well done. And god damn it, the three cloned sisters or whatever, or how to recycle a bad actress when they figure out her character is garbage by giving her more garbage characters. The first season was good for novelty, variety (even if it were just little things and nothing notable), and for Quinto, but the nuke storyline already went in circle fast.
Oh, and... forgot his name already, normal badass dad Company Man, he was great too but there were a few occasions where his character was really on the verge of being just as blind stupid as everyone else.
As a whole, you can only conclude that the characters were pretty badly written. Except for Sylar and Noah Bennet (Wikipedia'd their name) but it doesn't seem like they always knew what to do with them either.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on April 20, 2013, 03:24:58 am
Sylar was really terribly written after the first season; they could never decide on a direction for him, so his character was super disjointed and only held together due to Quinto's acting. And that's all because he was supposed to die in season 1, but they decided he needed to come back, go on a road trip in Mexico, lose his powers, be brainwashed into thinking he's Nathan, squander that storyline, and turn into a good guy after being stuck in an alternate dimension with Peter in an extremely homoerotic episode, apparently. (of course Heroes shows that episode after I stopped, god, just hearing about it makes me tempted, oh jeez that would be hot UMM NOTHING)

HRG/Mr. Bennet was handled much better, and like Quinto, Jack Coleman often was the only thing making his scenes work, as the script, the direction, and the other actors actively worked against him.

Hiro was probably the character handled the worst, always behaving incredibly dumb and never doing anything because his powers were just too powerful, and then they gave him brain cancer for some reason, and then it was cured magically when he hallucinated being on trial in his own mind or something?

I remember having visceral hatred for Claire's boyfriend in season 2, West, but I cannot for the life of me remember. I guess, for once, I actually did end up blocking something from my mind because it was so bad!
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on April 20, 2013, 03:33:21 am
Yeah, Sylar was all over the place, but Quinto made it work, and quite well, so it didn't look as bad as it really was. He has that phase where he begins being a good guy with that blonde electricity chick (I think, I forgot), starting to think he doesn't actually need to kill people to learn, and then a little later he goes bad again and kills the girl anyway just because lol fuck you after all. That scene was pretty well done, but only because it was Quinto, as a character it was just another change of direction. They did try to make us believe hard in his "I'm a good guy now" phase when we see that alternate future where he's a good daddy, but blows up (literally) again when his son is killed. That also worked because of Quinto.

Holy shit, I thought NRS' redesigns of DC characters for Injustice were bad, but get a load of Square Enix's figures :
Green Lantern (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10226802)
Batman (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10226801)
Wonder Woman (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10226803)
Jesus Christ this is terrible. Square Enix is usually better than that on figures, but this here is just "what if DC superheroes were the main character of a JRPG"...

Oh, were you hoping that awful idea for Jurassic Park IV (the one where the government has trained dinosaurs to carry weapons and use them as soldiers) would never be made?

Too bad. (http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3231386/will-jurassic-park-open-again-for-business/)..........well, the story is still under wraps but that's what's been teased about it apparently.
Hell Yeah! DinoRiders the movie!

Forgot to post about this: AOL has shut down Comics Alliance. (http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2013/04/aol-pulls-plug-on-comicsalliance/) For some reason. It certainly wasn't for lack of hits, they've been doing better than ever lately.

So, why does this matter? Aren't there a lot of other comics sites? Well, shut up, imaginary person I invented, and read this:
 http://comicsbeat.com/viva-comics-alliance/ said:
If Comics Alliance was known for anything – aside from the much-needed essays on prejudice and progression, aside from discussion of Batman punching people with car parts, aside from advice on how to make and celebrate your favourite characters via cosplay – it was for being a website where people enjoyed being immersed in their favourite culture. There’s a tendency, especially as you find yourself growing older than your childhood heroes, for people to turn cynical and dismissive, to take joy in hating things and seeking out misery. It’s prevalent all across the internet. No matter what your passion is, people online want to tell you you’re stupid for having it. Comics Alliance, to me, was a site which refused to fall into that pit.
I'm feeling really bummed about this, and combined with the recent AV Club departures (http://www.avclub.com/articles/an-update-from-the-av-club,97016/), it leaves me wondering where to go to read the kinds of things they provided. :(

At least the AV Club's news and TV divisions are mostly unaffected, at least...

Holy shit, I thought NRS' redesigns of DC characters for Injustice were bad, but get a load of Square Enix's figures :
Green Lantern (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10226802)
Batman (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10226801)
Wonder Woman (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10226803)
Jesus Christ this is terrible. Square Enix is usually better than that on figures, but this here is just "what if DC superheroes were the main character of a JRPG"...
Sweet merciful Christ. What the fuck? These aren't just awful designs from a "faithfulness to the original version" kind of thing, they're just incredibly awful from a general design perspective.

I didn't say Matt Groening's mother was a stupid thing, I said your title was a horrible choice of word because it made people think it was someone else. All you had to do to make it right was specify "Marge Simpson's inspiration" instead of just "Marge Simpson", and no one would have been annoyed by the title change. You're a fucking ass.

The thing is when people see "MARGE SIMPSON IS DEAD!!" they're more likely to think her voice actress, Julie Kavner, died. Either that or they killed the character off for god knows what reason.

I really don't see the point of misleading titles like that.

Well, it was in part, in every news pages I found this news it appears like this. But no, because dicks like Titiln and By--DKDC I can't put that title without be called as a dumbass and stuff, so fuck those two shitheads. But yeah, sorry. Some admin/mod can delete these comments, please??

The problem is that he won't admit it and he'll shrug off anyone who disagrees with him and keep denying that he did something stupid.

All the broadcast networks just ordered series and renewals, so a bunch of news came out.

Most importantly COMMUNITY SEASON 5 (http://www.avclub.com/articles/community-renewed-for-fifth-season,97627/)!!!!! 13 episodes ordered so far, but who knows if that will change. Chevy Chase will not return, but I'm not sure what will happen with Ken Jeong. He signed onto a pilot early this year, but I'm not sure if it was picked up and if it would affect his presences in this new season.

And Parks & Recreation was renewed for a 6th season! (http://www.avclub.com/articles/parks-and-recreation-reportedly-renewed-for-a-sixt,97561/) It wasn't really in doubt, but NBC is insane, so it's nice to have it confirmed.

Meanwhile, Whitney and 1600 Penn fell in battle (http://www.avclub.com/articles/lets-all-pretend-to-be-sad-that-whitney-and-1600-p,97567/), and Up All Night was finally put out of its misery (http://www.avclub.com/articles/nbc-also-mercykills-up-all-night-and-guys-with-kid,97570/), which is, again, the show that considered having a magic portal connecting the old, single camera reality of the show, to the new, multi-camera revamp of the show (that only had a single episode filmed in that format, if it was filmed at all, I'm not checking, sue me), a magic portal that only the baby could see. Also mercifully canceled was that horrible, horrible Ryan Murphy show, The New Normal (http://www.avclub.com/articles/upfronts-update-cbs-cancels-four-univision-wants-t,97630/), the one about a bunch of stereotypes trying to adopt a baby.

But it wasn't all good news, they also declined to pick up that John Mulaney show (http://www.avclub.com/articles/nbc-opts-not-to-pick-up-john-mulaneys-sitcom-presu,97618/), which is too bad.

And ABC canceled Happy Endings, which is complete and utter bullshit. (http://And ABC canceled Happy Endings, which is complete and utter bullshit.)

Also, Adult Swim is making a cartoon starring Mike Tyson solving mysteries with a talking pigeon. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/adult-swim-also-had-upfronts-where-it-announced-a,97617/)

in an Aug. 14 episode that takes place solely in Fry’s dreams.

The fact that it's in a dream doesn't really change anything to me. It's still really weird and frustrating and I dunno I'm sure it'll be funny because it's Futurama and Seth MacFarlane is a pretty good voice actor but I'd rather they stop bringing Seymour back.

They're not as good as the earlier ones, but they're still funny, and there's been definite classics. This last season has felt like they got their groove back.

The movies I would definitely call mediocre, though.

A bunch of the older seasons were fun, though sometimes it felt like you were expecting something to be fun and it was just a random parody of something you didn't care about. It does have some of the greatest episodes of a comedy show I know, but currently, it feels like it's a lot of those parodies or simple mockery of something, so IMO it's getting a little tired (last week's Fast and Furious parody is an example of something I didn't give a shit about, for one, so it didn't feel too funny to me).

Also, big news. Legendary Studios is severing its ties from Warner Bros. (http://www.comicsalliance.com/2013/06/25/warner-bros-legendary-split-up/) They did all three Nolan Batman movies and MoS. So... this is a pretty big deal. I think this means Nolan probably won't be involved with the sequel? Maybe?
I know this is from the DC thread, but I wonder how this would effect something like say, Godzilla.

I've never seen any of the Fast and Furious movies, but I thought it was pretty decently funny (mostly the girl going on and on about the unspoken verbal abuse she suffered). I would've said the episode was a kinda stinker but then BAM suddenly Flatland parody and it really redeemed the episode, IMO.

I meant stuff like why now (and not 6 months ago), why he is sorta echoing the stuff the NRA and buddies were throwing out after Sandy Hook (violent games and movies are the problem, not our precious innocent guns), or even what his lack of "support" is gonna be.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread

Because the movie is about to come out and it has
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
and Carrey is a big gun control supporter, also a big christian and his effort since then on gun control would be called in question the moment he was pictured
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

so he is pushing in his christ chips and cashing out before shit hits the fan. His long term plans probably include politics.

My question is why isnt he giving away all the money he made out of the movie to charity if he has such a huge moral hangup on a movie he fullheartedly supported.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on June 27, 2013, 04:34:24 am
He could've easily "withdrawn his support" right after Sandy Hook happened, he saw the script over a year ago and filming had almost certainly wrapped by then, the fact that he's doing it now seems a bit fishy to me.

I would've said the episode was a kinda stinker but then BAM suddenly Flatland parody and it really redeemed the episode, IMO.
Yeah, the gags were still decent, although the unspoken verbal abuse girl is exactly the kind of reference I didn't care for (I'm guessing it was a reference given how many times they repeated it). 2D world was an okay idea (I had no idea it was a parody of something), although not much more than that : there was nothing much going for it other that "they're in a 2D world, okay".

I meant stuff like why now (and not 6 months ago), why he is sorta echoing the stuff the NRA and buddies were throwing out after Sandy Hook (violent games and movies are the problem, not our precious innocent guns), or even what his lack of "support" is gonna be.
Oh, I didn't think Carrey was specifically echoing the NRA against violent movies in defense of guns. It's just violence in general that he's sick of.

he saw the script over a year ago and filming had almost certainly wrapped by then, the fact that he's doing it now seems a bit fishy to me.
He said he'd finished filming a month before it happened, yeah, but given he said "I can't support this film", what I understand by "support" is that he doesn't want to participate in promotional events and interviews and whatnot, which should be around the corner as the release comes close. It's the right timing IMO if that's correct. No one would have cared if he'd said it several months before it even started.

Also, this is relatively old, and isn't that firm of a rumor, but here some details (http://www.movieweb.com/news/green-goblin-suit-to-resemble-iron-man-armor-in-the-amazing-spider-man-2) on the Green Goblin's suit for Amazing 2 (possibly 3 too?).

(http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-james-cameron-avatar-sequels-20130801,0,6518554.story) Strange moment to confirm this, especially since he has been sued for plagiarism for this movie (http://www.3news.co.nz/James-Cameron-sued-by-British-artist-over-Avatar/tabid/418/articleID/303273/Default.aspx)...

Hah ! I was always thinking it was a little telegraphed that the Doctor was mostly played by older men beyond their 40s in the first era, and by people not beyond their 30s in the revival. Trying to fit in the current mold of the pop star and all. I'm okay with that - not to mention that having a younger guy always made it feel like there should be romance with the doctor, except it's not really a show for that and it wouldn't be good (the River Song arc made it work differently).

That really awful looking Fox show, executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, Dads, is creating a brouhaha about its depiction of its Asian character. (http://www.avclub.com/articles/asianamerican-group-asks-fox-to-please-do-somethin,101725/) Also, the co-creator tweeted this back in 2011: “If you wanna feel better about this earthquake in Japan, google 'Pearl Harbor death toll’". Which is uh, OK. Yikes.

And then Fox basically just said nah, don't care (http://www.avclub.com/articles/not-surprisingly-fox-is-just-going-to-ignore-its-r,101837/).

Gene Parmesean is being wasted in this.

Sounds like silly wishful thinking (because the whole concept is indeed silly). But hey.

I'm going to totally ignore any potential continuity issues with this seeing as the overarching "continuity" of Power Rangers only ever comes up for the sake of conveniently explaining crossovers and the rare throwback (Rita Repulsa being the Mother of Magic in Mystic Force, for instance).

With that out of the way.  I think this could work as a one-off special.  I don't agree that Tommy has the franchisability of Wolverine, but a mostly standalone hour-long anniversary special featuring Green Ranger kicking some ass could be pretty sweet.  Keep the language toned down but dial up the violence to PG-13 levels would work, I think.  Throw in some Dragonzord action for good measure.

It'd take some serious finagling, but this might be the opportunity to provide the Lord Zedd fight we never got in MMPR.  I can't think of how right off hand, though.  Maybe Rita left him and he's bitter or something.

Likewise, the ATAS should require 500 words of rationale per category, just so morons aren't allowed the privilege of anonymity anymore. If you can't explain your vote sensibly, in 500 words, as to why a show is the Best Drama of all, people should put the leeches and the Nikki Finke's on you. Doing so might result in satisfactory explanations for why:

Jim Parsons wins anything, when his job as an actor is to play someone who neither understands nor cares about emotion, empathy, motive, etc. — all the stuff an actor reacts to and exhibits — thus almost guaranteeing that other contenders for the same nomination are doing far more work at far more risk of exposing their shortcomings

Eh, they've won before. Though Jeff Daniels winning best actor is a fucking joke (seriously it's such an unchallenging role, and the show itself is awful and smug as shit) and Hamm should've won.

At least Colbert won, finally. Well deserved, especially with the Super PAC stuff he was doing.

The makers of the two Atlas Shrugged movies (you know the ones that bombed miserably) have turned to Kickstarter to help finance the advertising (http://www.avclub.com/articles/atlas-shrugged-producers-turn-to-kickstarter-for-h,103253/) (but not the actual movie budget, no way, what do you think they are, useless moochers asking for charity, you stupid parasite?) for the third part of their trilogy (or tetralogy I don't know nor care) desperately unwanted adaptation of a shitty book designed to espouse a horrible and scummy philosophy.

I'm sorry I can't take this seriously they're asking for fucking charity to make their shitty movie that has been rejected by the all powerful market twice over and their shitty philosophy is morally opposed to charity and ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

IFC has signed a deal with Earwolf Podcast Network (of Comedy Bang Bang! fame) to produce a bunch of shows (http://www.avclub.com/articles/ifc-greenlights-a-garfunkel-oates-series-signs-a-d,103517/), starting with The Embassy, starring James Adomian in a whole bunch of roles, which sounds utterly fantastic.

And they might be interested in turning some more podcasts into shows. (http://splitsider.com/2013/10/talking-to-scott-aukerman-and-jeff-ullrich-about-earwolfs-new-tv-production-arm/) Could Affirmation Nation the show be far off? Wouldn't a How Did This Get Made? show be BONKERS? I can't wait to see what they'll cook up. :)

Doesn't mean they shouldn't win again (would have been the first for Banks). Unlike other repeat winners (Parsons) their characters drastically evolve between seasons and naturally so do their actor's performances. I agree about Daniels, can't comment on Hamm since I've only seen 2 episodes of MM.

Wilfred has been doing very very poorly in the ratings this last season, which makes its renewal both simultaneously surprising and understandable, because it will also only be 10 episodes, and it will be the show's last (http://www.avclub.com/articles/fx-sending-wilfred-to-live-with-its-sister-network,103671/). Hopefully they'll wrap up everything satisfactorily.

The original showrunner is also returning the show (working with the showrunners of season 3), so hopefully this last season will be more like 2 and not so insular and somewhat scattershot like season 3 was.

Hamm hasn't won once and it's ridiculous and he deserves to win.

Freaks and Geeks creator/Bridesmaids director Paul Feig wants to
make a gay romantic comedy with Channing Tatum (http://thedissolve.com/news/664-the-heat-director-is-not-making-a-gay-romantic-com/), though it should be noted that it's more of a pie in the sky type deal than anything remotely close to being in production.

If Johnny Storm's race doesn't matter, why bother changing it?  Claiming it's diversity for the sake of diversity is a cop out to avoid the issue of affirmative action as a means to combat racial imbalance being a flawed principle.

It doesn't matter to his backstory or his character; it does matter, however, it adds some sorely needed diversity in a field that desperately needs it.

You know, I think there's another POV in this situation, what if the current actor was the best suited to play as Johnny Storm? Maybe they picked him because he was the best in the casting and not because he was black.

SNT has a point, change for the sake of change is kinda dumb but I never really cared about anybody's color skin anyway, and let's be honest, black Nick Fury is the most badass version of any Nick Fury ever :P

Miles Morales. That one was a good way to use a big name and inject some "diversity", because it's actually a NEW character, and they constantly compare him with the previous version - WITHOUT being obnoxious about it, and without feeling like "just another ripoff / clone". Of course the moment he appeared it felt a bit like "creating Black heroes for the sake of diversity" (and that was only because it was done to such a big name, Spiderman) but in this case it disappeared as soon as the character had a couple of pages to his name.
Taking an existing character and changing him will obviously feel forced. Why not just create a new character ? That's how you do it if you want nobody to care that he's Black.
tl;dr the problem isn't that he's Black, the problem is that it's a change. Don't start calling people racist for no reason.

Arbitrarily changing a character's race is stupid by virtue of being arbitrary.  There's nothing wrong with it in most cases from a storytelling point of view, but there was nothing broken about the character before that a race lift would fix.  Best case, it adds nothing; worst case, it adds an excuse for writers to wax poetic about racial inequality.  That said, the only real drawback is the alienation of long-time fans.  While I understand and to an extent agree with the idea that sticking to the established is better, a race change is so low-impact a change that getting upset about it is almost as stupid as the change in the first place.

I said all that to basically say "meh".

I'm well aware of it. So now you have to show that Johnny and Sue have mixed parentage and you probably have to waste a throwaway line or two explaining genetics to people who AREN'T aware of such things (your average moviegoer, for one). Or you take the easy route and make one of them adopted. Okay, which one? THIS is what I mean about unnecessary backstory. You make them both black, you don't have this problem.

And I was totally serious earlier. You make them ALL black. You get to say right from the start you're making the FF black, so the discussion is over and done with. Terry Crews gets to be the Thing like he wants. You get a prominent black leading man who otherwise would have to choose between Blade, T'Challa, Luke Cage, [insert B or C tier character that nobody's heard of and/or cares about]. You get a prominent black leading lady who's got even less choice when it comes to superheroes because Halle Berry has a stranglehold on Storm. You get Tyler Perry involved somehow (not as Reed, please) to bring the illusion of family friendliness and sell it to people who otherwise wouldn't care all that much. You make money.

It was a brilliant move when you think about it. They further cement their revisions of the characters as timeless storybook fairy tales, and they protect themselves from any lawsuit from Warner Bros. on behalf of DC Comics and Bill WIllingham.

So it turns out Allison Williams is not Sue, but everyone in the running is still white, which is still silly. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/10/fantastic-four-allison-wiilliams_n_4077675.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003)

And apparently Jon Snow from Game of Thrones is in the running to play Reed, (http://www.avclub.com/articles/kit-harrington-kate-mara-and-michael-b-jordan-have,104094/) which is just, fuck you. Reed is not a goddamn teenager, don't do Ultimate Fantastic Four or something. God, Michael B. Jordan just got my hopes up, made me forget that Mark Millar is helping with this, that Fox is still in charge.

What exactly is the benefit there?
Puts new spin on franchise, helps distance the reboot from the last two movies, gives the opportunity to say something about race and family, gives Michael B. Jordan an acting role, tons of things. Who gives a fuck if it messes with "lore"?

I'm not talking about the change but about a new Fantastic Four movie being produced. One of the lamest superheroe franchises ever.
Get out.

And then read the original Lee/Kirby run, and also maybe the Waid run. Shit is fantas--it's great. Really good. Some of the most inventive comics ever.

You know, I think there's another POV in this situation, what if the current actor was the best suited to play as Johnny Storm? Maybe they picked him because he was the best in the casting and not because he was black.
I would guess that he was chosen (well technically he's not officially cast, only doing been asked to test, but whatever) because he worked with the director before (in Chronicle) and he has gotten and is getting a lot of praise for his acting work.

They should make them ALL black. Michael B. Jordan, Kerry Washington, Terry Crews and Denzel. Who wouldn't see THAT movie?
I was actually thinking that Kerry Washington would be a good Sue; she's great, and she's not stupidly young. But oh man that cast is so good!

You know, since they kind of stole the idea from Fables.
Eh, well, Willingham did go out of his way to say they were distinct and it was in no way a ripoff, but even so, I just can't stop seeing it as a cheap imitation, or at least a failure in taking advantage of its premise like Fables does.

God I want a Fables TV show.

What are you talking about. It gives them an opportunity to say something interesting, though I doubt they'd take try anything, even if they used, say, Speedpreacher's imaginary cast. But the potential is there, and the potential is interesting.

If you're a fan of the Fantastic Four and Johnny Storm being black bugs you, you need to get a reality check.

I mean it wouldn't be bad having them be black if you know they were done right. Black Nick Fury looks so ridiculous... but that's just me. Also PersonMan pretty much summed up what I feel when it comes to changing someone's race.

All that it says about race and family is that they don't understand anything about it.  You want a compelling black character?  Then you write a compelling black character.  You can't just take a white character, change the color of its skin and nothing else, then point to it and say "this means we are racial diversity now."

So you guys didn't like Ultimate Fury being black right. 
He was literally designed to be Samuel L. Jackson, of course everyone loves him. Was the previous version even any popular in the first place ? I didn't even know he used to be white when I first saw the SLJ version, I vaguely knew the name (not that I knew much about comics at the time).
The Fantastic Four, despite their lack of recognition as serious characters, are still more or less known for their antics. The brain, the hot blonde, the big guy, and the "rich kid with a sports car" - as in "rich white kid" of course.

White fury was huge with fans, samuel jackson was well received because the ultimate comics were neat at start( they got progressively worse).

The one you have in the movies are the ultimates looks with the original's personality.

In the main continuity there are two fury's now, the original one and a black one that is his kid.

Part of it's due to the fact that the original is still running around but yeah you're right.

Yeah, no. If you want to write a compelling black character, you have to just write a compelling raceless character. The moment you set out to write a compelling "black character" that character is immediately solely defined by their race and doesn't become compelling at all.

Some good news and bad news. Good news: Tim Burton is working on a Beetlejuice sequel (http://www.avclub.com/articles/tim-burton-is-reportedly-really-officially-working,104529/). Bad news: it's recent Tim Burton of Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows fame.

You can't just take a white character, change the color of its skin and nothing else, then point to it and say "this means we are racial diversity now."
Sure you can. Ultimate Fury, Liz Allen in Spectacular Spider-Man, even Alicia Masters in the old FF movies (played by Kerry Washington?! holy shit I didn't realize that, but now that I think about it she was a bright spot in those shitty movies) They didn't make a big fuss about it, and it didn't change any of the characters. Well, besides Ultimate Fury, who became "Samuel L. Jackson as spymaster", personality-wise.

Hah, so the black one does go the "new character" route, and I reckon he doesn't get the bad "pandering to diversity by changing an existing character" attention. QED !
Original Ultimate Fury did not go the "new character" route, he was just that universe's version of Fury. I'm pretty sure there were some other race changes in the Ultimate universe but the only other similar change I can think of is Ultimate Colossus being gay. Which is to say, since nothing sticks out, the changes were ultimately irrelevant to the characters, and weren't used to say anything about interesting about diversity or whatever. Well, Colossus, I guess, what with the whole X-Men are minorities angle.

But yeah 616 Fury Jr. just comes off as a silly attempt to make 616 exactly like the movie universe and stuff

There's a John Belushi biopic back in production (http://www.avclub.com/articles/that-john-belushi-biopic-is-back-on-wont-star-any,104579/), and the people being considered are Nelson Franklin (of The Office US and Veep), Emile Hirsch, Adam Devine of Workaholics, and "even Joaquin Phoenix’s name has 'also surfaced,' presumably in the whirls of a mystical fountain divined by a hydromancer who is drunk." (http://www.avclub.com/articles/that-john-belushi-biopic-is-back-on-wont-star-any,104579/)

But none of those people mentioned are the people you'd think of who would be perfect for the role; no no no, those people would be of course any actor that is overweight, as the The A.V. Club reports:

" Kevin Tancharoen Departs Mortal Kombat
Source: Kevin Tancharoen
October 25, 2013
Although he was optimistic about the project just last month, choreographer-turned-director Kevin Tancharoen, the man behind the Mortal Kombat reboot webseries, just announced via Twitter that he is no longer involved in bringing the property to the big screen.

"After 3 years of Kombat," Tancharoen writes, "I've decided to move on to other creative opportunities. I wish everyone involved in the movie big success. Thanks!"

Tancharoen's “Mortal Kombat: Legacy” recently released its second season. The cast includes Harry Shum, Jr. ("Glee") as the warlord adviser "Kuai Liang," Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) as martial arts film actor "Johnny Cage," Brian Tee (The Wolverine) as Shaolin Monk "Liu Kang," and Mark Dacascos (Cradle 2 the Grave) as "Kung Lao" - a close friend of "Liu Kang." Additionally, Ian Anthony Dale (“Hawaii Five-O”) returns as the resurrected ninja “Scorpion,” and Cary Tagawa reprises the role he made famous in the first Mortal Kombat theatrical release as the powerful, arrogant sorcerer "Shang Tsung."

Although Tancharoen hints that the project will move forward without him, no other talent has been named at this time. Check back for details as soon as they become available."

After long time, Ryan Reynolds speaks again about Deadpool movie (http://www.themarysue.com/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-update/). It's short, but an interesting read after all, and sounds like a legit script for Wade Wilson :D I hope this would be done finally
What will we get first, this or the X-Force movie that will probably also include Deadpool?

Fables is ending with issue 150. (http://comicsalliance.com/bill-willingham-fables-ending-issue-150/)

Evil Dead remake sequel/Army of Darkness 2 news hour time

The director and the co-writer have said they won't be on board with any sequel (http://www.avclub.com/articles/fede-alvarez-and-rodo-sayagues-wont-be-doing-an-ev,104940/), because they're doing an adaptation of that Dante's Inferno game, for some reason. Or wait, maybe they are doing the sequel after all (http://www.avclub.com/articles/hold-on-the-evil-dead-remake-guys-are-probably-sti,105001/), they're just waiting for Army of Darkness 2 to come out, and Bruce Campbell himself said that he and Raimi were going to do that. (http://thedissolve.com/news/719-bruce-campbell-says-hes-making-an-army-of-darkness/)

But then again, one shouldn't trust what comes out of Bruce Campbell's mouth, says Bruce Campbell, because nothing is actually happening yet. (http://thedissolve.com/news/845-bruce-campbell-says-you-shouldnt-trust-bruce-campb/)

I hope the guys who made the remake do come back for the second one in some form, since they really did make that first one so much better than was expected.

The CW is developing a show based on the DC hero Hourman, who invented the miraculous vitamin Miraclo, which imparts an hour of super strength to whoever takes it, (http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-cw-developing-dc-comics-show-about-hero-who-ca,105181/) but it's also addictive and causes cancer, except when it doesn't.

But it seems like the show is just going to focus on the rarely used precognitive abilities of the second Hourman that was given to him by the third Hourman (an 853rd century intelligent machine colony who is awesome and I miss his series and probably doesn't exist anymore because fuck you new 52), and be devoid of any other powers. Seems like it will be Rex Tyler (the first Hourman) in the role, as there is mention of an ex-wife and son. OK then. :-\

Post by: Basara Lapis on November 07, 2013, 09:14:14 pm
^ I like the idea of Hourman has his own series. More than the character itself, I'm more interested about what Hourman implies: he's part of JSA, and that's also mean Earth-2 (pre-New52), and also Infinity Inc. and Hawkman, so it's a good opportunity to see those chars in this series even as cameos
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on November 07, 2013, 09:17:51 pm
It doesn't sound like it would tie into JSA or anything; it sounds like a present day thing, which means no JSA, no Infinity Inc, no legacy heroes, and so on.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on November 07, 2013, 09:25:57 pm
But the premise of the show explicitly precludes doing a JSA type deal, unless they make it set in the present day, and have it be unconnected to any JLA movie.

Smallville had room to put in a bunch of WWII era superheroes (with some minor retconning, but nothing major), but this doesn't. Or I guess it could do it but Hourman himself would not be a member. But I doubt they'd do that, because old people are gross and the current DC comics don't have a WWII era JSA either.

I think what the new RoboCop is going to have a hard time trying to replicate is Murphy's inner struggle once he begins to reclaim his human personality. The 1987 film did such a phenomenal job with that subject and it made the film work. Very well. You also had a very convincing antagonist and a well written story to go along with those two things The new RoboCop, while a little interesting, is gonna fail on so many parts. I'm gonna see it for sure, but with expectations and comparisons turned off. Well, the best that I can try at any rate. ;D

Last I heard it wasn't planned until 2016, so that Flintstones remake isn't due for some time.  Then again, I also heard it was going to be oriented for children, which seems weird when it comes to MacFarlane, so I could be mis-informed there.  All I know is Dino is bound to end up learning how to speak and drink martinis.

American Dad is easily the best of his shows, but that's not saying real much.

A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land.

AMC may or may not have ordered a pilot for an adaptation of the comic book Preacher (http://www.avclub.com/article/amc-and-seth-rogen-are-the-latest-to-try-turning-p-105739), which is of course the whimsical tale of a preacher who travels across the country with his girlfriend and a friendly Irish vampire and get into all sorts of crazy adventures.

oh and it's being developed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, which seems weird but I guess This Is The End is kind of sort of similar to Preacher in a way, maybe?

That's absurd and completely myopic of the larger picture (Green Hornet is an old forgotten property no one cares about and they gave it a comedy spin to differentiate it, whereas they'd clearly be more faithful to something like Preacher)

With the way they've set up genetic engineering with the Lizard, Spidey, and possibly Electro (jellyfish, apparently?); it'd make tons more sense to go with "Paul Giamatti gets a rhino injection and grows thick rhino hide (no costume) and then I dunno maybe grows a horn too or something.

It just seems weird that they'd develop a plot thread that would connect all of Spidey's villains' origins to each other and then ignore it to do a goddamn Transformer.

I really like the Ultimate concept of Rhino because it feels like an organic update of the original origin. Well, minus the fact that he can get out of the suit but I'm sure they could've have fixed that in the movie.

But this? It's a RhinoZord! Is Spidey gonna have to call Leopardon to fight it?

Hope there isn't too much with the kid (I guess he's the son of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen), because there's potential to be a bunch of OH NO OUR SON IS IN PERIL stuff and who wants that kind of cheap melodrama.

Fox wants to create its own Marvel movie universe, but with the Fantastic Four and X-Men (http://www.avclub.com/article/fox-creating-its-own-marvel-movie-universe-though-106286), which sounds like a bad idea but it's better than what Sony is rumored to be doing, which is the same thing, making an interlocking Marvel movie style universe, except Sony only has Spider-Man stuff so they're extremely limited on what they can do.

There's gonna be a new Terminator film trilogy that sounds a lot like a reboot (http://www.avclub.com/article/terminator-reboot-now-also-includes-a-new-terminat-106297) except it's not, probably. And Schwarzenegger will be back and somehow is supposed to be playing an non-aging cyborg when he's pushing his seventies. The plot for the first movie will apparently have him protect Sarah Conner throughout her childhood, which is just, what.

and also there will be a tie-in TV show to the trilogy, because it's not enough that the amazing and unjustly cancelled Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled and ignored by the movies, but now they're gonna make a new TV show that sounds awful and that will tie-in to the movies and will make everyone forget the first show ever existed .\/.

While I love Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, their movie work leaves a lot to be desired (they've literally called their movie scripts schlocky and have even written a book about how they've made a ton of money selling not very good scripts for a lot of money (http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Movies-Fun-Profit-Billion/dp/1439186766), they are pretty upfront that their scripts are not at all good), and I doubt it will be the Garant and Lennon who made Reno 911! writing this. And even if they were, I'd still be wary, because the ZAZ (the trio who made Airplane!, Police Squad/The Naked Gun/Top Secret) style of comedy is pretty tough to pull off well, as their later filmography will readily attest, even they couldn't keep it up. Although David Zucker's descent into crazy right-wing lunacy probably didn't help. (http://www.avclub.com/article/america-hating-flag-burning-commie-pinko-case-file-72981)

And then there's the casting: Ed Helms is a very funny actor but he is absolutely wrong for the role. Frank Drebin needs someone who can effortlessly say the most ridiculous lines completely straight:

I don't think Ed Helms could pull this off. It is the work of a master. I mean, Helms is pretty great at physical comedy, so he'd be pretty adept at the more slapstick-oriented style of the movies, I guess, but still... it just seems like a horrible, horrible idea. The whole thing.

Rob Huebel (Childrens Hospital, Human Giant, Burning Love) will star in an IFC series as a man who lives in a storage facility and is probably mentally ill.

The basic concept is good (villain crossover! the villains have kids too! their kids and the good guy kids meet!) but the way they've set it up sounds really bad (the kids have to be stranded on the evil villain island too? that's really douchey) and it sounds like it'll just be a stupid teen show with all the school elements. And it also kinda seems like the Disney Channel's version of Once Upon A Time, which is very bad, because that show is godawful, and a retread will probably be worse.

It's plenty explicable:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a very bad choice to play Morpheus. Incredibly so. He's a good actor but he is absolutely wrong for the role.
Joseph Gordon-Lveitt has directed a grand total of one movie that was pretty mediocre and didn't display any kind of the technical prowess to pull off something grand and sweeping like a movie about the Lord of Dreams.
David Goyer is a terrible screenwriter whose ideas are awful and has trouble with complex hu-mon emotions and motivations, unless the movie is about Wesley Snipes fighting vampires with a sword.
A Sandman movie is a huge undertaking and it will be immensely challenging to capture even a smidgen of the grand scope of majesty of the comics. I don't relly trust any of the people invovled with that, and certainly not DC and Warner Brothers with it.

Shia LaBeouf's directorial debut (http://www.avclub.com/article/shia-labeouf-plagiarizes-daniel-clowes-comic-for-h-106565) is apparently a pretty shameless ripoff of a Daniel Clowes comic. Like, straight up plagiarism. The whole thing, it seems; whole lines of dialogue, visuals, taken wholesale.

Pretty fucking nuts. What a douchebag, that guy.

Deadline reports that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is finalizing a deal to produce Sandman at Warner Bros. with David Goyer, who pitched his treatment for the Neil Gaiman comic book classic.

It has been rumored that Gordon-Levitt might star, and the deal he’s making attaches him as the protagonist. In addition, he’s eyeing the project as a directing vehicle! Gordon-Levitt made his feature directorial debut on the well received Sundance pic Don Jon. (http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3269399/joseph-gordon-levitt-becomes-sandman-for-warners/)

Ugh. the comic that was about dreams and the essence of being, that touched in shakespeare and homosexuality and all that good stuff that most wouldnt touch with a pole and did it right, the comic that had a sympathetic cute death , done by the people that think superman should snap necks and blow up buildings to look cool.

I can see Morpheus holding a dream shotgun already while hunting down the villain, Despair.  A fat woman with hooks for hands that is driving men to suicide with the help of the sexy big titted Desire.

About time...

http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/12/18/news-frank-darabont-sues-amc-over-the-walking-dead
AMC has as long a history of mistreating it's showrunners as it does a history of making original TV shows. Having said that, I'm pretty glad Darabont got fired because his some of his ideas for the second season were godawful and, aside from the pilot, his work on the series were pretty terrible. Of course, that doesn't excuse the shitty treatment he seems to have been getting.

I can see Morpheus holding a dream shotgun already while hunting down the villain, Despair.  A fat woman with hooks for hands that is driving men to suicide with the help of the sexy big titted Desire.
Since Gaiman has some amount of clout, I suspect it will at least pretend to be a close adaptation. So they'll probably do a Preludes and Nocturnes arc with Dr. Destiny or Lucifer or whoever as the main villain, and then make it a big franchise because Avengers. But it'll be stripped of all subtly and nuance.

he also got in trouble for some comments he made about black people too.
the idiot redneck guy on the subject of growing up in Louisiana pre-Civil Rights ere said:
I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field. ... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' -- not a word!

Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues

Xbox is producing a slate of original shows, to be broadcast exclusively through Xbox Live. (http://www.avclub.com/article/xbox-to-start-producing-original-shows-starting-wi-106645) The first is a documentary series focusing on the digital age, whose first episode will be about E.T. the video game, and other shows include another documentary series (about soccer players), and a Halo show.

And an update on Duck Dynastygate: the rest of the family doesn't seem that inclined to keep doing the show (http://www.avclub.com/article/the-duck-dynasty-family-cannot-imagine-progressing-106648), as various news commentators like Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin have shrieked in outrage and shouted FREE SPEECH, not really understanding the whole concept of free speech because it doesn't mean you can say hateful shit and be free of consequences from a private party. And it sure is funny that Palin was silent on the issue of free speech when Martin Bashir was fired not two weeks ago after making disparaging comments towards her...

bringing up free speech regarding the constitution for his case isn't really proper. such freedom also means that a&e are free to associate and disassociate themselves with whoever they want to. i just don't like the precedent this sets

i just don't see the point in suspending him, the people that were offended by the comments aren't going to watch the show anymore (they probably didn't watch it in the first place) regardless of his suspension or firing. filming for the season that's airing next is already wrapped up so he'll be featured in all those episodes unless they edit him out.

http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/19/the-duck-dynasty-fiasco-says-more-about-our-bigotry-than-phils/ said:
I’m reminded of something Bill Maher said during the height of the Paula Deen controversy: “Do we always have to make people go away?” I think the question applies in this situation too.

Why is our go-to political strategy for beating our opponents to silence them? Why do we dismiss, rather than engage them? One of the biggest pop-culture icons of today just took center stage to “educate” us about sexuality. I see this as an opportunity to further the discussion, to challenge his limited understanding of human desire, to engage with him and his rather sizable audience — most of whom, by the way, probably share his views — and to rise above the endless sea of tweet-hate to help move our LGBT conversations to where they need to go.

The Shia LaBeouf Plagiarism scandal continues

Quote
Lawyers for Daniel Clowes recently sent LaBeouf’s representation a cease-and-desist letter.

     “Your client is seriously out of control,” the letter reads. “He must stop his improper and outlandish conduct.”

And so, in response, LaBeouf copied the letter to his Twitter feed, followed by a tweet of what appears to be a photo of a Xerox of a photo of the original tweet containing the storyboard—an endless mirror creating layers upon layers of reproduction, in what continues to pass for LaBeouf’s grand unifying statement on how he, and therefore everyone, has nothing to say.

He will apparently continue making that statement until everyone really, truly gets it.

So, notoriously contrarian film critic Armond White (he famously champions Adam Sandler movies as unflinching portraits of emotional honesty that aren't couched in class and gender guilt like Apatow movies, or something insane like that) was very, very upset that the New York Film Critics Circle gave the best director award to Steve McQueen. So he decided to start complaining, loudly. And so he made some very strange, racially charged comments, along with a good old-fashioned "fuck you". During the ceremony. (http://www.avclub.com/article/armond-white-rings-in-another-year-by-calling-stev-106756)

So naturally people are upset with him, especially since he does this shit all the time. So the NYFCC are going to hold a vote to expel him (http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/new-york-film-critics-circle-to-vote-on-armond-whites-expulsion), and good fucking riddance to this shit stain.

To counter-act the prequels, the Boba Fett spin-off movie planned for 2018 has an interesting twist pitched by Episode VII writer Lawrence Kasdan: the spin-off will start with a complete stranger killing Boba Fett and taking his armor, starting a Man-With-No-Name bounty hunter tale. So: someone kills the Boba Fett from the prequels and takes his armor and name. One this is for certain is that Kasdan didn’t like the prequel and wants no Bobba Fett Clone in the spin-off film.

Of course, Quicksilver (and Scarlet Witch) will also appear in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, to be played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Why introduce one version of Quicksilver, then have a second version appear in a different movie (a different studio non-the-less) with a different actor?  Sounds like Fox is playing with (legal) fire.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on January 29, 2014, 04:38:48 pm
They're not playing with legal fire. They have the right to the X-Men franchise, QS and SW aren't specifically tied to them, and if Fox had used them sooner Marvel wouldn't have been able to do it, but Whedon or someone else said they'd be important in Avengers 2 and suddenly Fox said WAIT WAIT WAIT they'll be in our film too, and they'll be important, I swear !
They're not playing with fire, if anything they should win if X-Men comes out first, but since everyone knows they went full bullshit on this one and they announced them after Marvel, it doesn't seem like Marvel's in any trouble as long as they don't make them "mutants" or don't have their father be Magneto.

Oh, and that happened months ago.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Basara Lapis on January 29, 2014, 05:45:52 pm
As the few I know about that, probably was accorded to split character in 2: Pietro Maximoff, son of Magneto who as superspeed as mutant power for X-Men DOFP; and Quicksilver persona, member of Avengers with the same powers, but probably another person unrelated to Magneto and just with superpowers instead being a mutant for Avengers 2
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on January 29, 2014, 06:12:24 pm
He's gonna be Pietro Maximoff in Avengers 2 as well. :I

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's entire identities don't depend on Magneto being their father. It's not ruinous to their characters. All Fox's shoehorning in of Quicksilver is not really going to affect the twin's appearance in Avengers 2 because there's already a fuck ton of characters in Days of Future Past and no one is going to especially remember Quicksilver's 5 minute scene, and especially not when Wolverine is hogging all the spotlight because he's the best there is at what he does, and what he does is, er, that.

Anyways both Fox and Marvel are legally entitled to use both characters specifically because they fall into a grey area between X-Men and Avengers; Fox however can't mention anything relating to the Avengers when using them and Marvel likewise can't mention anything about Magneto or mutants when using them.

How do you make a romantic remake of a dystopian story?
A better question: how the fuck do you make a romantic remake of a dystopian story that specifically and ruthlessly crushes the idea that "love will conquer all"?

I don't even know if I agree with Tarantino here. He's acting a little childish, but it is a betrayal, and his movies may have less impact if most people know the script before hand.
In any case, fuck the agent.
It seems to be less about the script itself being out there than the betrayal itself:
Tarantino said:
I am not talking out of both sides of my mouth, because I do like the fact that everyone eventually posts it, gets it and reviews it on the net. Frankly, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I like the fact that people like my shit, and that they go out of their way to find it and read it. But I gave it to six motherfucking people! Starting this week, I’ll be setting meetings with publishers.
The betrayal itself probably tainted the entire project in his mind, and he'd rather work on something else instead. It's a real shame but I can't exactly blame him. Besides, he has a ton of other scripts to work on so it's not like we're losing Tarantino movie, we're just gonna get a different one.

oh and now he's suing Gawker (http://blogs.reuters.com/alison-frankel/2014/01/28/the-novel-legal-issues-in-tarantinos-copyright-suit-vs-gawker/)

Dr. Doom is said to be the villain of the reboot (the character appeared in Fox’s two previous movies and was played by Julian McMahon). The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision is hearing that the studio is likely to go for a big name and isn’t ruling out switching genders for the role.

Y'know a female Doom could probably work, but you'd have to be careful to avoid any weird sexual politics in the rivalry. And it goes without saying there should absolutely not be any kind of romantic relationship or one side having a crush on the other.

But Fox is probably the last people I'd expect to delicately handle that. So yeah, ugh.

They could use her new gender to explain her motivation to be the ruler of Latveria and a global powerhouse.  Not like the story hasn't been done before, but a Mrs. Dr. Doom striving to fight against gender inequalities and then going to far to become a villain might make for a good story since we've all seen the normal megalomaniac, control-freak version time and time again.

Psych has been canceled. (http://www.avclub.com/article/usa-cancels-psych-after-eight-seasons-107551) The finale episode is promised to tie up most of the loose ends. Not really unexpected (Maggie Lawson is already a regular on another show), and it was getting long in the tooth anyway. It's a good time to end it.

It's official: AMC is doing a Preacher adaptation (http://www.avclub.com/article/amc-officially-developing-preacher-as-a-tv-series-107573), from executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldburg. Garth Ennis and Steven Dillon are also involved in some capacity and Ennis himself has praised Rogen and Goldburg so it sounds like it's in good hands. I'm pretty curious how they're gonna adapt it for basic cable (not enough to watch it, I'm not really a fan of Preacher, but still) because... well, let's just start with the fact that a major character is named Arseface and leave it at that.

also being adapted: Neil Gaiman's first prose-only novel, American Gods (http://www.avclub.com/article/neil-gaimans-american-gods-is-getting-another-chan-107558), which is really freaking great and I dunno some people are kind of down on it but screw 'em, it's great. >:[
Anyways it hasn't found a network yet, but here's hoping. And then they can do an Anansi Boys spinoff movie/series!!!

Finally, The Michael J. Fox Show is on its last legs (http://www.avclub.com/article/nbc-basically-cancels-the-michael-j-fox-show-107555), it seems very likely that it will be canceled. Which means that once again NBC's new comedies have all failed, and they'll have to grudgingly renew Parks and Rec and Community again because they can still outperform every new show NBC brings out each year. Six seasons and a movie is gonna happen bitches!

OK a Space Jam sequel sounds pretty fucking stupid (because that movie was awful) but I guess it probably makes financial sense. However, shut up. Something more important just happened.

NBC is making a Heroes sequel miniseries. (http://www.deadline.com/2014/02/nbc-heroes-miniseries-2015/)

I just... why? Why??? Was anyone asking for this besides creator Tim Kring? Like literally anyone? It went from the pop culture sensation to failing dud within less than a year, who wants more? This is the show that, after being hailed as "Lost done right"*, so decidedly shit the bed creatively, that it so thoroughly erased all the goodwill it had built up, somehow getting worse and worse each season until they reached the nadir: season four, the one where the bad guys were evil carnies.

*one must remember this came early in Lost's third season, where it was at its most wheel-spinning-iest; Heroes could do something like "Company Man" (which is probably the only episode of Heroes worth rewatching, looking back) while Lost had polar bear cages for weeks. Of course, Lost then kicked into high gear, culminating with its amazing third season finale (NOT PENNY'S BOAT :_;) while Heroes started showing its seams in its season finale. And then season 2 happened.

There will be another version of Anchorman 2 coming out in theaters, with pretty much all new jokes (http://www.avclub.com/article/anchorman-2-coming-back-with-new-jokes-and-an-r-ra-201342). This is somewhat similar to the direct-to-DVD alternate cut of Anchorman 1, which had an entirely different plotline composed of alternate takes and cut scenes. Pretty weird, but I'm probably gonna go see it!

The Lego Movie sequel already has a release date. (http://www.avclub.com/article/that-lego-movie-sequel-has-a-release-date-201376) Pretty nuts, hopefully they can keep the same quality as the first one.

I hope nobody was excited for that iZombie TV series, because it looks like they are changing everything from the original story other than the fact that the main character has to eat brains.  None of the characters on the show are characters from the books.

Quote
Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero’s TV adaptation of the Vertigo comic iZombie has made its first casting choices, including the male lead. That role, a police detective named Clive (a character who wasn’t in the comic), has gone to Malcolm Goodwin, who starred in the A & E series Breakout Kings. Alexandra Krosney of the sitcom Last Man Standing and Alias‘ David Anders have also been cast as female lead Liv’s best friend, Peyton, and the chief antagonist, Blaine, respectively.  If none of those names look familiar, it’s because the TV version of iZombie is shaping up to be vastly different from the Chris Roberson and Mike Allred-created comic that inspired it. Even the lead character’s name has apparently changed from Gwen to Liv.  The one remaining plot point from the comic appears to be that the lead character has to eat brains to keep her human appearance. But the plot of the show is pretty wildly different from the comic, which featured gravedigger Gwen getting into strange adventures in Eugene, Oregon, with her supernatural friends.

A week after Terry Gilliam shared the ending (http://www.avclub.com/article/terry-gilliam-had-suitably-crazy-ending-mind-watch-201681) to the Watchmen movie he was attached to but never made, Visonary Director Zack Snyder says he himself made the Watchmen movie to save it from the Terry Gilliam's of the world. (http://www.avclub.com/article/zack-snyder-says-he-made-watchmen-save-it-terry-gi-201743)

And you know, he's right, only he could save Watchmen from falling under the thumb of such awful people like Terry Gilliam, member of Monty Python, director of such classics as Brazil and 12 Monkeys, Alan Moore's first and only choice as director. Only the visionary director of Sucker Punch and Man of Steel could truly bring Moore and Dave Gibbon's masterpiece to life. Ayup.

Hey, he hadn't made those movies yet when he did Watchmen, just 300.
The movie's problems were the techno, slow-mo and bone breaking action (x-ray style), but if that's not a huge problem to you, the movie was just fine. The ending made just as much sense as that of the comic, and the giant squid would have been too over-the-top, so just regular nuking was a logical alternative, while still working out in context for what it was supposed to to.

Well, if it's about the guys being regular people in masks (they get turned into brawling freaks who break bones with a punch and smash through walls and shit), in the end the fights were just cosmetic, IMO the point demonstrated by Ozy is still there (in the end they don't matter one bit and they're regular powerless individuals). The superhero-tier fights are just eye-candy. It's annoying if you really want to stick to the original comic with regular everyday Joes, but you can chalk it up to Hollywood otherwise and still enjoy the point.
I liked that quote from I don't remember where that went "it's a superhero story where Superman is a retired mysanthrope and Batman has erectile dysfunction issues". It's still a good summary, and IMO that's all the movie needed to keep, even with the bone-breaking action.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on March 04, 2014, 01:15:45 am
I dunno, the fight scenes were just so over the top, reveling in the violence instead of having it be appalling and an example of the heroes overreach (which then leads into the larger theme of Ozymadias taking that judge, jury, and executioner stance of the other vigilantes to the worldwide stage) and so brutal (although, I think if maybe there was a strong was something added to the fight scenes that showed how detached the heroes are, how fucked up mentally they are to do this, it could've worked, maybe). But as it is it just comes off as being cool for cool's sake, and it's very jarring, tonally.

(although, I think if maybe there was a strong was something added to the fight scenes that showed how detached the heroes are, how fucked up mentally they are to do this, it could've worked, maybe)
Rorschach's character is all that's needed for that viewpoint (his detached attitude in everything) - and that only makes his final scene all the more powerful.
I think the root of this separation is Nite Owl's costume that just looks like a straight-up copy of Batman - the Dark Knight when it was pretty silly in the comics. And I just don't think that the comics version would have worked more than 2 seconds before being completely ridiculed. So in a way I just don't see how the Dark Knight could have been avoided, and that's what just made the Hollywood-superhero fights something obvious.

edit - oh hey, at least it wasn't done by Warner Bros along with the other DC movies of today ! So in a way it couldn't have been done before because superhero movies were garbage, and it couldn't have been done after because Warner Bros doesn't even care about sticking to the source material one second. At least Snyder stuck to the slightest panel. ... I mean beside the bone-breaking punches.

Quote
The Last Of Us, which was The A.V. Club readership’s astute pick for the best game of 2013, is set to become a live-action motion picture. As reported in a report from The Hollywood Reporter reporter Rebecca Ford, the game’s creative director, Neil Druckmann, will write the screenplay for a film adaptation of the post-apocalyptic zombie-virus survival game. That’s a departure from standard practice for game-to-film adaptations: The typical approach is to not give a shit who writes the movie and also to cast Dennis Hopper as Bowser.

It’s not clear how much Druckmann will need to (or choose to) rework his original script, as Joel and Ellie’s journey across the virus-ravaged American interior already hews closely to a three-act structure. Plus, the characters in The Last Of Us have depth and nuance, and their motivations feel humane and authentic. In other words, this isn’t exactly Mortal Kombat here. Naughty Dog, the game’s development studio, makes games with a cinematic feel—the developer’s Uncharted series has been described with the phrase “it’s like playing an action blockbuster!” on so many occasions that most critics have set up a keyboard macro so they don’t have to type the whole thing every time. That said, Naughty Dog has had some trouble making the jump from cinematic video games to cinematic cinema. A proposed Uncharted movie has been stuck in a desultory development process for years, with the latest news being that Seth Gordon is slated to direct, for now. There’s no director attached to The Last Of Us yet, but if Uncharted is the precedent, there will be plenty of directors to come.

Also, very funny comedian Paul F. Tompkins will be the lead in a pilot for ABC (http://www.avclub.com/article/paul-f-tompkins-star-new-abc-pilot-probably-201980), playing a teacher who decides to quit his job and move to New Hampshire to open tourist cottages. Hopefully there will be some kind of narrative device that forces his character to adopt a series of disguises patterned after various famous people, like perhaps the Cake Boss (Cake Boss!) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJDRaAWRUrc), Werner Herzog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rARtOlFENJg), Garry Marshall (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah_s_bxLF1g), and/or Dame Sir Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eez6KUhR7ZI).

In an homage to the “Bronies” subculture, Tina attends her first Equestra-con, a convention based on her favorite animated pony show, “The Equestranauts.” To her surprise, she finds that the show’s fans are middle-aged men (called “Equesticles.”) When a powerful super-fan tricks Tina out of her rare toy pony it’s up to Bob to go undercover and get it back.

Fox canceled Raising Hope, (http://www.avclub.com/article/fox-cancels-raising-hope-202016) which sucks because that's such a nice, sweet, charming show. I hope the cast finds new work soon because they're so goddamn great. :(

Yesterday, The Simpsons said goodbye to Mrs Krabappel. (http://www.avclub.com/article/simpsons-finally-said-goodbye-mrs-krabappel-last-n-202010) I cried. :'(

Charlie Sheen apparently hasn't been showing up to work on his FX sitcom Anger Management, (http://www.avclub.com/article/charlie-sheen-delaying-tv-show-he-got-delaying-pre-201992) prompting the use of a stand-in to shoot scenes without him. His show is already doing horribly in the ratings, but FX is mandated to make 100 episodes of the thing; I'm sure they've got a legal team pouring through that contract looking for some way to use this as a way out of it.

Finally, Ed Helms is going to star in a movie that is seriously called Epic Fail. (http://www.avclub.com/article/ed-helms-star-epic-fail-movie-actually-called-epic-202038)

Eh, Smallville didn't really pretend to be super grounded. Maybe the first season or two, but you very quickly ran into immortal kung-fu witches; by the end of the series everyone from Braniac to Metallo to Doomsday to Darkseid had shown up.

But I guess they did sort of do the whole "make fun fantastical things boring and 'realistic'" with their version of Mister Mxyzptlk, who was, naturally, a foreign exchange student from Eastern Europe who came to Clark Kent's high school to run an underground gambling ring and had Scarlet Witch's powers.

Smallville was fucking terrible, you guys.

Honestly I prefer a costume more inspired with realistic clothing (Arrow works fine on that, as long as it's not "just a jacket with one symbol tacked on it") rather than a full body suit like this one, even disguised to look less uniform.

I dunno, the 90's series's sculpted muscles looked pretty goofy. What worked on the Batman costumes doesn't really work when the outfit is bright red. :-\

OK, so, potentially huge FF news: there's a rumor going around that Fox wants to dump the director, screenplay, and cast of the FF movie, six months before shooting is supposed to begin (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/03/14/fox-looking-to-dump-fantastic-four-director-screenplay-and-recast-six-months-before-they-are-due-to-shoot/).

Then, a Marvel exec tweeted a picture of Galactus (https://twitter.com/AgentM/status/444592988899905536), with no context. People started going nuts, thinking it's a clue. There are already rumors of Marvel trying to do a villain swap type deal, like they wanted with Daredevil (Marvel wanted Galactus and Silver Surfer from Fox in exchange for Fox keeping Daredevil a bit longer). Still others are saying that Fox is gonna lose the rights entirely, or cede creative control to Marvel but still distribute it, like Universal did with Hulk.

But it's all rumors at this point. It's entirely possible that the new FF will proceed on schedule, and we won't be able to see an actually good FF movie for many more years. Unless of course you count The Incredibles.

Quote
After journeying to the outer limits of space, giant robots, and Mark Wahlberg’s acting ability, Michael Bay will soon follow the lead of other blockbuster directors and little mermaids and head under the sea. The Hollywood Reporter says Paramount has picked up an untitled adventure pitch for Bay to produce and potentially direct, one where its plot details remain a mystery, possibly even until after it premieres. However, it is known that this thriller will be steeped in “real science”—though few who have seen Armageddon, which was based on the writings of Carl Sagan, would expect anything less from Michael Bay. And it’s also known that it will have an “undersea component,” as Bay journeys down to where each little clam here knows how to jam here. That’s why it’s hotter under the water. (Also because of the fireballs.)

Remakes really are truly contagious, as there’s now a Jem And The Holograms movie in development. While a gritty movie about a group of kick ass pop stars and/or secretive regular folk could be great, news of who’s actually developing the movie—Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun, Paranormal Activity producer Jason Blum, and GI Joe: Retaliation director Jon M. Chu—should give fans pause. To the trio’s credit, Braun, Blum, and Chu have created an official Jem website and are seeking fan contributions toward making the live-action movie. Chu says that, “rather than asking for money,” the group’s asking for creativity, including help writing the songs, designing the costumes, and even casting the flick. In fact, aspiring Jem wannabes can even send audition tapes via the aforementioned website, something that will probably prove to be as annoying and fruitless as those endless American Idol audition specials.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordmov_zps8e6f636f.png[/avatar]Columbia is allegedly working on putting together a dark, edgy, live action/CGI hybrid Sonic the Hedgehog movie. (http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/columbia-pictures-reportedly-working-on-dark-edgy-sonic-the-hedgehog-movie/#)

Quote
Hollywood insider website The Tracking Board is reporting today that a big-budget Sonic the Hedgehog film is currently in production over at movie studio Columbia Pictures.

According to the site, the movie will be a “dark, edgy version skewed towards older audiences,” and will be a mixture of live-action and CG animation. (I’m picturing a project done in a similar fashion to films such as Garfield or Alvin and the Chipmunks, just obviously with a much different overall tone.) With how the Sonic series has evolved over time, and the introduction of far more human characters to the world, this isn’t as surprising a direction as it may originally seem.

However, it does bring up at least one interesting question instantly: will Doctor. Eggman be real or CG? If they do go the live-action route for him, then I can’t help but think back to a certain fan-created poster that imagined Danny DeVito in the role.

Sonic is no stranger to the world of entertainment, and this isn’t even the first official Sonic movie to be produced—of course, the other was a direct-to-video anime release developed by well-known Japanese animation house Studio Pierrot.

Because everyone knows when you mix Sonic with 'dark' and 'edgy' only good things ever come from it. (http://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/vp/image/1368/90/1368903817640.jpg)

Fifth and final Phantasm movie incoming (http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3285913/breaking-phantasm-ravager-story-details-and-full-cast/)
Quote
BREAKING: It was officially announced to Bloody Disgusting by Phantasm creator Don Coscarelli Thursday that Phantasm: Ravager has completed principle photography. For those wondering, it will be the fifth and final entry in Coscarelli’s classic horror Phantasm series.

For the first time in the franchise’s history, a new director is helming the production, one David Hartman. Hartman is a multiple Emmy-nominated animation director, whose work can be seen in such celebrated shows as “Transformers Prime” and “Roughnecks: Starship Troopers.” Serious genre fans have long been familiar with Hartman’s edgier output, including two blood-soaked music videos for Rob Zombie (“American Witch,” and “Lords of Salem”), and his illustrations of Steve Niles’ “Strange Cases” for Image Comics.

Ravager features Reggie Bannister (a veteran of all five films) in his decades long pursuit of the malevolent Tall Man, and it finally forces him to confront the mysteries at the heart of the Phantasm saga. The entire original cast is back including Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury, Kat Lester and Angus Scrimm, along with some great new characters. “There are also some surprises thrown in that I promise will astonish long-time fans,” teases Coscarelli.

The original Phantasm was a worldwide critical and box office smash, spawning a huge cult of fans around the world and three well received sequels.

Coscarelli co-wrote the film with Hartman and produced the film under his Silver Sphere banner along with Executive Producer Brad Baruh.

“I felt it was time to let someone else play with my train set,” noted Coscarelli, speaking to David Hartman directing the fifth film. “David and I go back to my film Bubba Ho-Tep. He did terrific visual effects on that, and more recently created a wild animated sequence and some amazing visual effects in my most recent film, John Dies at the End. Our aesthetics are in sync and he’s quite an experienced director in his own right,” Coscarelli stated.

“Having worked with Don [Coscarelli] before, and being a huge fan of the entire Phantasm franchise, it was a great honor to do Ravager with him,” added Hartman. “This film is a real turning point in the series. There’s real closure for the core characters that I hope fans will respond to. We were fortunate to shoot amazing new sequences with horror icon Angus Scrimm—he has terrific scenes with Reggie (Bannister) and Mike (Michael Baldwin) that are truly powerful.”

Production on Ravager took place in secret in and around southern California over the past two years. “The Phantasm films have been a guerrilla operation for decades now, totally outside of the studio system,” Coscarelli notes. “We do them for the fans, and I think Ravager will definitely please them. In the past few years several studios have made offers to remake Phantasm with large budgets, but the fans were very vocal that they wanted the original cast to return and finish this iteration of the story with class. And for the first time there’s an extended sequence on the Tall Man’s home world. I know Phantasm fans will be as excited as I am to see it.”

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is probably getting a sequel. (http://www.avclub.com/article/tucker-dale-vs-evil-probably-getting-sequel-202749)

The first was a pretty fun movie, hopefully this one is the same.

Goddammit. And it sounds like he was basically forced out, maybe? (http://www.avclub.com/article/boondocks-aaron-mcgruder-confirms-he-wont-return-f-202818)

Well, fuck that. I was really looking forward to another season, and McGruder was so integral to the show that I have no interest in seeing this new season.

Fox hires a new writer for Chronicle 2. (http://www.avclub.com/article/fox-hires-new-writer-chronicle-2-202917) This comes after rejecting the pitch by the first movie's screenwriter (which would be totally disconnected from the first, and focus on a lady becoming the world's first super-villain. Instead of something cool like that they're probably just gonna do a straight up sequel starring the only surviving powered dude from the first one, who also happened to be by far the least interesting and dullest character in the movie. Hurray!

The guest list for the third season of Comedy Bang! Bang! (the TV show) was announced. (http://www.avclub.com/article/exclusive-here-are-seasons-comedy-bang-bang-guest--202858) And I'm sure there are exactly zero people here besides me who cares. :(

But now, some really good news: visonary screenwriter David S. Goyer wants to do another Green Lantern movie. (http://www.avclub.com/article/david-s-goyer-would-also-do-another-green-lantern--202936) Just imagine how much worse that Green Lantern movie would've been if Goyer was involved!

It'll be a grim and gritty reboot, so much so that he won't even be called Green Lantern or have any green on his costume: he'll be called "The Lantern" and be dressed in black!

Quentin Tarantino will actually end up directing his leaked screenplay, The Hateful Eight... as a stage play (http://www.avclub.com/article/quentin-tarantino-will-direct-hateful-eight-after--203048).

David Letterman announced his retirement and apparently Craig Ferguson might take over?

Obviously Louis C.K. will end up being the host.

The new host of Late Night with David Letterman has been announced:

It's Stephen Colbert. (http://www.avclub.com/article/stephen-colbert-officially-taking-over-late-show-d-203306)

I honestly don't know how to feel. I'm simultaneously excited and kind of fearful about what this all means. Colbert is almost certainly not going to be doing the show in his character, and even in a 11:30PM slot he'll be heavily restricted by standards and practices and will probably not be able to do the same deeply cutting satire he usually does. And jeez the talk show format is just so old and bloated and I don't want that to happen to Colbert. But maybe it won't, maybe he'll get the chance to radically change things up and be given the freedom to do what he wants to do? I feel so conflicted!

the joke here is that people actually are looking forward to a x-men movie made by fox.
Because X1, X2, and First Class were of course all terrible. And X2 certainly isn't still called one of the best superhero movies of all time. Right.

More info about the Colbert taking over Late Show thing: (http://www.avclub.com/article/here-are-tonights-top-10-questions-about-stephen-c-203319) The Colbert Report is closing up shop this year. It will not get a new host. The writers and production staff will follow Coblert to the Late Show. Colbert will not play "Stephen Colbert" on the Late Show. Colbert's Late Show might be more of a variety show that incorporates his political satire.

Mystique could be getting a spin-off movie because Marvel's shared movie universe keeps inspiring the other studios to rush out hazily connected movies which in no way will be haphazardly planned nor terrible. (http://www.avclub.com/article/mystique-could-be-next-x-men-character-get-spinoff-203310) Also this can't happen, no one wants to see a female superhero(villain)-led movie. That's just crazy. No way.

Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, Godzilla 98, White House Down) has a new movie, and... it's about the Stonewall Riots?

 it was pretty decent, Nightcrawler was great. Deathstrike was terrible. the story quality started declining from the first one.

I will give you X1 tho, it was pretty good, but first class was pretty cringe worthy what with the room full of mutants where the black one dies and the other ethnic one decides she is evil suddenly.
The only parts of first class i enjoyed were set in nazi germany.


Related. The new Sue Storm was interviewed, four weeks before the start of filiming. She says she doesnt know anything about the comics, shes not sure she has a suit for the movie and that she just knows its going to be a very grounded super hero movie.

I agree although she didn't seem too invested in her role in First Class; hopefully she improves in the sequel because she clearly is capable of doing so.

X2, good? How in blazes?
Yes, c'mon. This is not an unpopular opinion. It is in fact the prevailing one. :megaeyes:

The movie is great. So many amazing scenes: Nightcrawler's assasination attempt; Wolverine vs. Stryker's men in the mansion; Magneto's escape from the prison; "have you tried not being a mutant?"; Brian Cox, every second he's onscreen; Mystique and Magneto being total dicks to Rogue by making fun of her white streak which they themselves caused in the last movie when they almost murdered her (yeah it seems a bit much for Magento but goddamn it it's so good and fits the movie version of Magneto); literally any scene with Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellen (or even better, when they're together in one scene!); Mystique infiltrating the base, beating the shit out of the army dudes, and sliding under that closing metal door whilst giving the finger to some soldiers; the Lady Deathstrike/Wolverine fight; Brian Cox again; that hint towards an awesome Phoenix saga movie that sadly got Brett Ratner'd.

and even if Singer had stayed on maybe it would've been awful. He hasn't made a good movie since then. And everything about Days of Future Past is reminding me of X-Men 3, especially the absurdly large cast. And also it's all about fucking Wolverine again. It worked out good twice, but just let someone else be the focus for once, Jesus. >:[

Deathstrike was terrible. the story quality started declining from the first one.
Who gives a shit about Lady Deathstrike. Honestly. Like really. Especially at that point in time.

Also come on, the story in X2 is leagues better than the pretty sloppy story in X-Men 1. X2 is tightly constructed and it all builds off itself. It's the only X-Men movie where that is true, sadly.

First Class is perfectly cromulent but no more; it really should've just been Magento: Nazi Hunter, because goddamn! Michael Fassbender! And apparently the reason Magneto: Origins was reworked into First Class was due to the (relatively) poor performance and reception of the Wolverine movie. So thanks Wolverine, you keep on ruining the X-Men movies.

Quote
Talking to Entertainment Weekly about her role as April O'Neil in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fox was asked about her future projects and what would her choice be if she can remake another animated series.

"Gundam Wing," responds Fox, adding she'd love to see a Jurassic Park remake in the works. "Pacific Rim was sort of a Gundam Wing situation, but they should do it. What about Thundercats?"

Or maybe, she says, Sailor Moon."That could feasibly be made into a live action movie," mulls Fox. "I don't know how many Americans were into that. I was into that, but I don't know how huge it was here."

"That's not actually a bad idea."

Honestly though, at this point, Gundam Wing doesn't look too bad. Yeah it's not exactly good, but after everything the franchise has been through so far... fuck, I'm gonna go out and say it: Gundam Unicorn is much worse than Gundam Wing. Fuck Unicorn. >:[

That said, there is not a chance in hell she's gonna come near anything Gundam related. Bandai is happily content to cater to the very very small but dedicated fanbase left in the West after the franchise imploded here, selling them model kits and overpriced DVD's, and streaming their new shows online. But that's about it.

Probably. Unless that Gundam movie website stuff actually goes anywhere? Even if it did, Bandai's gonna keep a tight grip on things, it wouldn't be a movie version of Gundam Wing, and I just don't see them casting Meghan Fox.

Post by: Jmorphman on April 17, 2014, 07:40:02 am
I'm looking at it with a very careful eye because the cast is so bloated and X-Men movies have not done well when they try to cram a bunch of mutants in there as glorified cameos, and also because Bryan Singer hasn't made a good movie since X2.


Finally, a police procedural with Sigmund Freud as the quirky consulting detective who's does all these crazy things but gets results, dammit, (http://www.avclub.com/article/sigmund-freud-drama-ask-how-you-feel-about-everyth-203533) and also because every fucking thing needs to be a police procedural.

Scalped show! (http://www.avclub.com/article/wgn-making-its-own-dc-comics-show-203440) Scapled show! SCALPED!!! YESSSSSSS
... uh so Scapled is a fantastic comic by Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera about an undercover FBI agent returning to the reservation he where he was born and raised to infiltrate and take down the local crime ring there. I really can't overstress how fantastic it is. But this adaptation is especially interesting because it's a random cable channel I have never heard of which apparently only reruns syndicated stuff, and more importantly, Scalped is a comic that stars almost exclusively Native American characters. Like, there's 2 white guys off the top of my head, and they're not really a major characters; they'd be recurring at most. So it's gonna be interesting what happens with this; if they'll go and make Dashiell half-white or something, or introduce some kindly white characters to reassure the general public or something. I mean, changing these things isn't out of the norm, look what happened to iZombie: literally only the concept of "zombie must eat brains of deceased to retain her human mind" was retained, no gay wereterriers or ghost best friends or anything. But hopefully this will be a kickass adaptation that doesn't shy away from anything!

Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, and Adam McKay are teaming up for another movie. (http://www.avclub.com/article/will-ferrell-john-c-reilly-and-adam-mckay-reunitin-203502) The only info available is that it will be about the former two playing friends who attempt to protect the border from illegal immigrants, then wind up stranded in Mexico . One can also infer that it will be amazing, given their track record.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 will have a post-credits sequence, and I'm going to reveal it right not because this is not a spoiler at all (http://www.avclub.com/article/amazing-spider-man-2-has-x-men-cameo-not-really-203543): after the credits, an ad for X-Men: Days of Future Past will play. This is not a hint of a crossover, or anything, just an incredibly stupid contract depute with director Marc Webb (Warner will let him go if Sony promotes DoFP for free, and Sony decided to do so in an incredibly bitchy way by sticking it at the end of their movie)

So yeah, just... I don't know. Can Marvel have the rights back now?

I can live without the F4 in the MCU

Me too, I don't really like the F4, but I DO like Galactus, Silver Surfer and Doom

I'm not big on the F4 either. But if Marvel owned the rights that would probably change because they do such a good job making their characters better in the movies. I wasn't big on Captain America either but now he's probably one of my favorites.

jmorphman and mgbenz also didnt thought it was a joke, maybe your jokes are just bad.
And Im not asking you to explain yourself to me over something related to others, I tried to engage you in conversation over the FF and you made a caps post dismissing me and mgbenz.  Im just pointing out how dumb that was. Not asking you to explain anything on that.

The only time i asked you to explain me what you meant recently , you didnt.

I like how everyone's too busy getting in each others' faces over the Fantastic 4 to notice the Fox X-Men movie franchise is about to get its throat slit thanks to one of its major worldbuilders' propensity for boy ass.

i made a thread about the whole thing. I kinda want to see ian mckellen react to it.
I really dunno if anyone would stop seeing the movie over it, but it being his major work ( and him being in several of the past movies) , several of his boys being in the credits and one of them being iceman.. kinda think there should be a reaction.   I mean talk about raping childhoods.

Post by: Byakko on April 19, 2014, 07:29:39 pm
This movie might not get affected, but Singer is very likely to get the axe and it will take time to replace him. Although since DoFP isn't even released yet, they have enough time to do that. But there's the risk that they'll only put someone who will do shit and the next movie will tank, at least Singer had the first two movies for himself as experience on the franchise (and potentially this one if it turns out good).

It might be creepy to watch the boys in question knowing they got there doing that, but I don't think the reaction will stick to the movies, people will just enjoy them as such as long as the acting is good. ... And anyway, everyone always thinks certain girls get roles the same way, so... (basically we just need another scandal of the same thing but with girls to explode, and we can forget this one)

theres more than the fans at play here tho.

One, you got Disney/marvel. This kind of thing can ruin the trademark for them

two you got several influential actors that are, rightnow, really connected with singer, and who might want to throw those connections down before anyone starts linking them to "homosexual minor sex parties" , hence pointing out Ian mckellen that is a well known homosexual rights activist.

Also, rewatching the movies now just gets kinda creepy.

@Jmorphman: sure knows I like to joke about him liking the Fantastic Four and me disliking it. You don't need to talk for him or anybody.

Hell yeah, I'm not getting paid for this, but I'm sure it's nowhere close to looking like something anybody would think for real.

Also why should I even bother explaining anything to you to begin with? You're always right. Always. There's no point to explain anything to you. If anything I WISH you could just ignore me once in a while, as our relation became pretty shitty since the whole JZ stuff just because my opinion is different than yours (Including other things like the stupid unbannings and the whole KFM thing, then you wonder why some people don't even bother to give feedback about the site at all, that puts you in a bad spotlight like in my case).

And don't bring me that "it's nothing personal" BS, I know far better than that. I've seen the fireworks during the conversation with walt to understand when is or isn't personal to a certain level. Just look how much you had to drag this conversation (Which I am guilty of as well, it takes two to tango) up to the point of pushing me to say all of this because I seriously can't stand being near you anymore and would like to cool off all the crap that happened just because of a clash of opinions but nooooooo you won't let me do that at all. Thanks! I don't even care if you're not doing it on purpose at this point, I may as well just severe all the communication for now, I have enough shit to worry about IRL.

I don't see it. If they get the right back some day, they won't use Singer or any of the actors (except maybe Jackman unless he's quit the character by then), they'll start over fresh. It's not like it's going to ruin the franchise including potential Marvel movies (Marvel has enough rep with all the other movies for that to happen) and as far as the comic books, plus the X-Men movies aren't the only ones affected by it, right ? It's only getting included in the discussion in the first place because there's a new one about to be released. Did Singer make other movies with the same actors since X-Men 2 ?

And yeah, everyone's going to drop Singer fast, no arguing that.

It's going to be about Singer and the deviance of Hollywood, but I don't think it will do anything about the gay rights thing, I don't even know if McKellen really should even address it beyond "eww, I was in movies directed by that guy, fuck that shit". I dunno, it doesn't seem like the sort of focus scandals like these get nowadays. (I should underline I don't read or watch US news, they don't count, I'm talking international community and we don't see much outrage like that beside the obvious "he's a disgusting shit")

Again, this doesn't affect X-Men as a franchise any more than that they're gonna have to find a new director for Apocalypse. I can understand if this makes watching the movies "retroactively creepy" for you, Iced. Polanski being a rapist hasn't affected most people's enjoyment of Chinatown, though.

you already said it was an overreaction but way to overreact to me trying to talk with you over ff and then telling you that your way to dismiss me and mgbenz was dumb.

Seems like you got some unresolved issues with me if you feel that way, but if youw ant to talk to me about it, im where Ive always been and open to talk to you.

Far as I can recall my last three interactions with you were 1- this , telling you that you were dismissing me in a dumb way 2- you implying i didnt do anything in hyperdbz and me asking you to explain why and 3- me asking you to cool down with the "jokes" on the same thread. Hardly warrants that persecution complex.

PS FF Is hella cool and I still want to discuss it as a worldbuilding thing.

I guess you guys are right, but when there is something with this much impact , and which seems to go about people keeping silent and letting the abuse continue it kinda permeates the whole thing and makes the other actors and anyone that potentialy knew what was going on guily by association.

Hey now, it doesn't seem to be going this way, it's been only like 2 or 3 days since someone announced he was suing Singer and the medias only grabbed the case and just started talking about it, there's nothing about "keeping silent" about it yet.

I'm not sure if you mean that as in it's too young or too old to be remade, but much older movies as well as younger movies are remade all the time. Hulk was remade after 5 years, Spiderman was rebooted after a decade, and there are lots of classic movies that get a remake after 20 or 40 years.

Quote
Talking to Crave Online at WonderCon yesterday, Simon Kinberg was quizzed by the site about how the tone of Josh Trank's The Fantastic Four will differ to that of Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, both of which were rubbish light comedies. "It’s a much more grounded, gritty, realistic movie than the last couple movies," the X-Men: Days of Future Past writer and producer revealed. "If I had to say, the tone of it would be somewhere on the spectrum between Spider-Man and Chronicle. The other movies were even further on the spectrum of being goofy and fun than Spider-Man." That sounds like the right sort of direction to take the reboot in and is a good sign that we'll see elements from both the 616 and Ultimate versions.

Now, depending on which of the Spider-Man franchises you prefer, that will either be very good or bad news. When asked to clarify, Kinberg quickly emphasised the fact that he was referring to the Sam Raimi helmed movies. "Raimi Spider-Man, yeah, not Amazing Spider-Man. Josh Trank’s instincts are to be as realistic and grounded and real with this stuff as possible. In many ways I would say it’s definitely more of a drama than comedy." He adds, "It’s still in the direction of Spider-Man. It’s not like Dark Knight. And even Chronicle has a lot of fun in it. We’re treating this as the origin of the Fantastic Four so in future movies you’d have them on sort of splashier adventures to some extent but in this one we tried to ground the science as much as possible and make it feel like it could take place in our world before it cantilevers into other worlds."

First announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, Batman: Assault on Arkham, is one of DC Universe Animated Original Movies’ (generally well-liked) direct-to-video productions. According to the trailer, the movie follows Batman as well as Task Force X, a group of Batman villains also known as Suicide Squad hired by the government to take on dangerous missions. The two are trying to stop Joker, who’s still imprisoned at Arkham, from detonating a dirty bomb hidden somewhere in Gotham City.

The movie also features voice actors from the games like Troy Baker as The Joker (who stepped in for Mark Hamill in Batman: Arkham Origins), and Martin Jarvis as Alfred Pennyworth. Kevin Conroy will reprise his role as Batman.


Batman: Assault on Arkham will release digitally and on blu-ray.

Screenwriting duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Transformers 1-3, the Star Trek reboots, etc.) are splitting up. (http://www.avclub.com/article/alex-kurtzman-and-roberto-orci-decide-its-time-bre-203719) And you know what, good riddance. They're not good writers. Every movie they've written, if it's been good (and that's a low batting average) has succeeded in spite of its script. Their dialogue is pedestrian and their plots nonsensical and full of holes.

But don't fear, cause now they want to direct! Kurtzman is angling to do Venom for Sony and Orci wants to direct the next Star Trek, because Into Darkness didn't have enough 9/11 conspiracy shit to whet his whistle (he's a big time Truther). :brood:

That Friday The 13th reboot will also get a companion TV show (that is not a reboot of the first Friday The 13th show); (http://www.avclub.com/article/friday-13th-reboot-reboot-come-tv-reboot-203812) the show, and I quote, “re-imagines Jason in multiple time periods,” and will reveal “new secrets about his wacky family.” :I

Takashi Miike is making a movie about vampire Yakuza and they could just shut up now and I'd be sold. (http://www.avclub.com/article/takashi-miike-making-vampire-yakuza-movie-203668) But then Miike said this: "Say good-bye to wimpy and boring Japanese movies. Nobody asked me, but I’ve decided on my own to return to my roots and start a riot!" Glorious.

Did you like the Lego Movie? Then you'll love the Peeps movie, which is a thing that will exist! (http://www.avclub.com/article/looks-theres-just-peeps-left-movie-idea-basket-203746) For some reason!

First announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, Batman: Assault on Arkham, is one of DC Universe Animated Original Movies’ (generally well-liked) direct-to-video productions. According to the trailer, the movie follows Batman as well as Task Force X, a group of Batman villains also known as Suicide Squad hired by the government to take on dangerous missions. The two are trying to stop Joker, who’s still imprisoned at Arkham, from detonating a dirty bomb hidden somewhere in Gotham City.
Oh thank god, the real Amanda Waller is back! And voiced by CCH Pounder like Justice League Unlimited, sweet!

but uh yeah it's been over a decade of doing the Wolverine thing, and he's getting older and keeping in superhero movie shape is super not fun, who can blame him?

Not to mention, he's been in 3 Xmen, 2 Wolvie, and 2 First Class Universe movies ... 7 times the same character. He's gotta be one of the guys to play the same character the most times in any franchise by the time he's done.

Also, it will be hard to find someone as fitting for the role as he is, so maybe doing a third Wolvie movie to kill him off would be a good send off for Jackman. One can only hope.

The tone of the movie is much more grounded and real and gritty
And here I thought that "gritty" was now a joke word that people say to make fun of a franchise that went into the "too much" zone, just like the classic "dark and edgy". But lo and behold, there are actually some that think it's a good word to use when describing whatever they're making.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 had the weakest opening of any previous Spider-Man film, and that's not taking into account inflation nor 3D ticket prices. With those taken into account, it is had the third lowest opening weekend out of every Marvel movie, just above X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Thor 1. (http://www.avclub.com/article/weekend-box-office-amazing-spider-man-has-somewhat-204206) Combined with the fact that it is the worst reviewed Spidey movie, maybe, just maybe, there's a chance that Marvel might regain the rights!

oh who am I kidding :(

Fox orders Smallville 2: this time it's with Batman (http://www.avclub.com/article/fox-officially-orders-gotham-series-204239) to series. Oh joy.

And I didn't really feel like reviving the thread for this (mostly out of laziness), but Bryan Singer was hit by another lawsuit alleging more of the same kind of sexual misconduct. (http://www.avclub.com/article/bryan-singer-hit-second-lawsuit-alleging-sexual-as-204220)

Post by: Jmorphman on May 06, 2014, 06:35:24 am
I have no interest in seeing Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Marvel has, so far, handled their movies very well; even the worst of the ones they've made are merely mediocre, and the best are stand with the best of the entire genre. No other production company has shown the same level of respect for the source material and the ability to put together a series of interconnected, fun movies. So I want them to get all their film rights back as soon as possible! And also for Warner Brothers to just pack it up and hand over all the film stuff to Brad Bird or something, maybe Paul Dini and Bruce Timm if they're up for live action stuff! And and and Hellboy 3!!!

IF Marvel eventually gets all the rights back, I think the priority of movie adaptations by Marvel Studios (imo) should be something like:

- Fantastic Four
- X-Men (starting with individual movies maybe or just storylines which feature certain X-Men characters which haven't been portrayed yet)
- Spider-Man (because everyone is sick of Spider-Man movies so this should be rebooted in the far future hopefully)

The only thing I can think of is that Disney managed to buy the rights away, perhaps boosted by how terribly ASM2 did at the box office in the US (for a blockbuster).

For whatever reason I can't fathom, I've heard nothing but positive reviews and feedback from this movie through word of mouth and/or reviews from media outlets except from US media outlets.

Is it a cultural thing preventing americans from liking this movie?
Is it because he's not sporting stars and stripes, like CAP?

Coming from someone who actually liked the first one, the movie's a mess. The only way I can recommend it is if you're with a group of friends riffing on it in the privacy of your home like I was, because it is a laugh riot. It is Transformers 2/ Star Trek Into Darkness levels of bad. Events happen for no real reason but an action scene is needed. Characters do things with the flimsiest of motivation. Of course, not a surprise considering who wrote it.

So why is it not doing great? I'm guessing the same reason as Cowboys And Aliens. Michael Bay and J. J. Abrams are directors that are good at turning those scripts into the effects laden extravaganzas that make you check your brain at the door. Other directors aren't.

I will admit that Marc Webb is actually pretty good at making music videos, and sometimes it feels like that's what he was going for with these to ASM movies (special mention the horrible Coldplay "'Til Kingdom Come" non sensical musical montage in the first movie), but still, the pacing and the SPIDERMAN character are light years better than the Slice Of Life, Teenage Mutant Student Spidey, Reimi/Tobey piece of shit original trilogy that made everyone lose their faith in the superhero movie genre.

And before any of you guys say "BUT DOC OCK" that movies was a steaming pile of shit too. There's just no saving grace to the Reimi trilogy.

(I haven't seen 2 but I've seen 1 and all the trailers for 2 with some spoilers)
Same sentiment about Garfield's performance, but I have to say that it's kind of feeling like it's not structured enough. I don't just mean what Speedpreacher said about the succession of action scenes, I also mean in a "world building" sense, it feels like they picked this guy and this guy and that guy and wrapped it in a movie because they had ideas about them ; like Gwen is the only "character building/defining" point. They're shooting for Sinister Six, but it's kind of coming out of nowhere.
In a word, it's kind of missing the whole "origin" fad that's been going on to set up the world of x or y superhero movie to explain where this guy and that guy were coming from before the big showdown - compare to how each of the "first phase" Marvel movies led into the Avengers which was the big wham, because we knew each of the characters. Thor took a long time to set up his part of the universe, with a poor Destroyer in the first movie, Cap's first movie was an introduction and had not much content, but it showed where the characters and plot points came from (Tesseract, the gems for the upcoming phases etc.)

I will admit that the Marc Webb movies aren't masterpieces, and they're pretty mediocre storytelling wise.

... but visually they're just damn pleasing. Andrew Garfield really looks the part, and he's very fitting at delivering the Wisecrack Spidey lines. He's legit IMO. Also the changes they made on Spidey's suit for this new movie are spot on. Even the colors they chose look fucking regal and elegant.

I don't know. I know this isn't a 9 or a 10, but it's a very satisfying 7.5, and not a forced by pedigree "Reimi and Sony are really making an effort here" "GREAT 8.0" :-X

Post by: walt on May 14, 2014, 05:50:16 pm
Basically, even if not strictly sticking to any of the established comic book canons (original timeline or ultimate) it's just about as convoluted and intricate as one would expect a comic book timeline to be, in this day and age.

Sure, it sounds awkwardly convenient that they're trying to tie everything in for their own purposes in their own self contained universe (that's why Pete's parents were biologists of Oscorp instead of SHIELD Agents crossing over with CapAm villains, or rescuing Wolverine), but at least they're building all of that up for a good reason.

They have introduced, hinted and/or established a bunch of Spidey Universe characters, thinking of how to make a future "cash grab" (if you want to see it that way), but at least they're building a rich and colorful ecosystem that closely resembles the variety one would expect from a Spiderman Comic. Hell, they haven't even revealed who the man in the shadows at the end of the credits of ASM1 is! And from what I've read, I'm pretty sure that guy is crucial to the Sinister Six / ASM3.

I'm kind of okay with this being half-assedly disjointed if at least I'm going to get a cool movie, or at least cooler than what we had before. I don't expect freaking classic literature writing from this, but even if a bit half-assed this sure doesn't feel like some Michael Bay-esque bullshit script just to justify explosions. It's easy enough for me to keep track of the character's motivations, and intricate enough for me to overlook some details at a glance, and be surprised later when they're re-introduced as being there all along.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Speedpreacher on May 14, 2014, 07:11:31 pm
The only character whose motivation wasn't laughable or head-scratchingly convoluted was Denis Leary's ghost, and they couldn't even put him in the part where it was thematically best to have him.

I had fun watching the movie, and I'd give it a 3/5 based on the good time I had riffing on it with my friends and the fact that Andrew Garfield just being the best Spider-man that this film franchise has ever seen. But I just think the script was TERRIBLE, and Marc Webb wasn't up to the task of distracting me from it.

I have yet to see the new one, but the first movie really was just kinda bland. Andrew Garfield is good on the role, but the actual dialogue he gets is just so bleh. Also say what you will about Peter Parker in the previous series, at least he actually looked kinda geeky and was not just a dickhead like he is here.

For the record, I'm of the belief that some movies were meant to be seen in a theater ... But I guess in that sense we're lucky around here, because I don't know what are the prices in other places, but over here the cost of going to the theater is anywhere from 20 to 33% the cost of a Blu Ray disc :P

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on May 14, 2014, 07:47:12 pm
Maybe I'm different but it's highly inconvenient to actually go to the theater. I hate having to schedule my day to go at a certain time. And if I want friends to go it's near impossible to get everyone on schedule.

Here the price is $9.50 for a ticket. Don't buy any popcorn or drinks because it's $5 each. If I am forced to see the 3D version the price goes up to $13.
And I can't even enjoy the 3D ones because I have a lazy eye. So I have to wear glasses to watch the movie without the fuzzyness. In most cases there is no option to not see the 3D one unless I wait till it's almost out of the theater.

DVDs cost $20 so that's basically half or more just for the 1 time inconvenience. So I have to REALLY want to see a movie to go to the theater.

I have yet to see ASM1 or 2 though so I cannot comment on the actual movies.

... what? That's absolutely ludicrous. :-\

People over here like Cap 2 more than ASM2 because the former has a great script with fun characters who have coherent motivations, in a movie that aspires to be more than just a fun superhero romp and attempts to say something about the modern surveillance state, and isn't a rushed attempt at starting up a franchise that only exists in order to hold onto the film rights of a character. The latter is written by the fine duo that brought us the Transformers movies, Cowboys and Aliens, and Star Trek Into Darkness.

the pacing and the SPIDERMAN character are light years better than the Slice Of Life, Teenage Mutant Student Spidey, Reimi/Tobey piece of shit original trilogy that made everyone lose their faith in the superhero movie genre.
Look, everyone has different tastes in movies, like I vastly prefer the Burton Batman movies over Nolan's, and that's all well and good and people should be able to passionately argue about what they like. But to say the Raimi movies, of all things, made people lose faith in the superhero genre is one of the ridiculous things one could say about them, because they, along with Singer's X-Men movies, are the reason this genre is so hot right now.

I know the Raimi films don't have a great reputation around here, but it is factually incorrect to say they (well, 1 and 2) were and still aren't beloved by both critics and regular audiences. Because they are. And people still talk about them fondly in comparison to the new ones. And I don't foresee things changing on that front unless Sony implements changes in the way it handles the franchise.

That seriously broke the entire fucking movie. I can't invest in a Spider-Man who does something like that. It's such a simple thing to fix, one would just have to have Captain Stacy tell Spidey to take care of her, y'know, like the actual freaking comic did. Then you'd still have Peter agonizing over if his relationship with Gwen will endanger her, but him continuing it wouldn't be breaking dying wish of her dead father and would make

I Liked both of them, and I thought thor was the worst movie of phase 1, or that or hulk.

Cap 2 was EXCELLENT, as a fan of the Winter soldier specifically it was brilliant. every time winter soldier was on screen you knew it was serious, he didn't care about anything but whatever he was told to do and couldn't be stopped.

Arnim Zola's scene was easily (In my opinion) the single best scene in the movie, it was so well done, I like how, despite changing the character a bit, they were able to keep the whole he transferred his brain to a machine thing.

Also loved Batroc, he was missing the mask, but he was great because I genuinely like the guy and from what little we saw of him, other then the whole "He's not from France thing" he was pretty well done too.

...Oh yeah, cap and black widow and falcon and all them were cool too.

I really like Cap 1 myself, but Cap 2 is the better one for sure. For whatever problems the first movie had, it was a great genre throwback to war movies and Indiana Jones type adventure movies and it also presented Captain America in the best possible way: a hero of genuine goodness and equality, rather then just dumb patriotism.

My fanboy is showing, whoops.

I think either Iron Man 2 or Incredible Hulk were the worst phase 1 movies. Not unsurprising because they were the first ones made with the intent of leading up to Avengers.

Cap 1 was pretty good, but let down by the second half. The ending especially just felt bizarre.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on May 16, 2014, 11:35:24 am
I find Hulk to be the worst one.IM2 would be if it wasn't for RDJ. Heck IM3 might be as well just RDJ steals the movies so he don't need no stinking good story scripts!

Cap1 was okay. And gets a lot of points just for trying to be different.

I love the first Cap film. It is very different from all the other phase one films. Particularly, I place it second, right after the first Ironman film.
Tommy Lee Jones doing what he does best, Tommy Lee Jonesing definitely helped the film. Seeing the Human Torch playing Cap was weird at first, but it worked pretty well.

Now, the second film is brilliant. It is on the same level of Ironman 1 and thus, easily one of the best films Marvel has put out there.
I can't wait to be able to get it on DVD and watch it over and over again. It is delicious.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Speedpreacher on May 16, 2014, 07:10:43 pm
I feel like I'm quoting myself, but the first half of Cap 1 is one of the best superhero movies out there. Then they hit the point where it's just "shoot some lasers and dump him in the ice already! And don't forget to throw Bucky off the train, we've gotta set up that sequel!" It was like a completely different movie, and considering that Hugo Weaving probably isn't coming back anytime soon it feels like he was wasted.

I want a Godzilla/Pacific Rim crossover.

Godzilla is introduced trashing a Jaeger called Jet Jaguar, setting him up initially in opposition to humans until just before the third act when Godzilla saves the protagonists' asses against another kaiju.  Third act is giant clash between Godzilla, Protagonist Jaeger, and a Category 5 Kaiju that looks like King Gidorah crossed with Anguirus.  Bonus points if a reference to the sliding tail kick is worked in somehow.

So to recap. She-Hulk is just a sex power fantasy rather than a character with agency who from the beginning went down a different path than her cousin, The Hulk. Martian Manhunter being the last survivor of a race which died out on Mars over a thousand years ago is goofy, but putting him Area 51 and using the same plot as many alien visitor movies is not. And God forbid superheroes embrace some goofiness and absurdity.

Goyer should stick to Murderman and stop talking about other superheroes.

Gareth Edwards (who just came off of the new Godzilla) is gonna direct one of those Star Wars spinoffs (http://www.avclub.com/article/godzillas-gareth-edwards-direct-standalone-star-wa-204987)

posting this here instead of the Star Wars thread because this has implications for Godzilla 2. There's no indication that he can't do both, though, and in fact there isn't even a script in development for Godzilla 2 so I would say it's pretty likely that Edwards returns for Godzilla 2, especially since the Star Wars spinoff is coming out in 2016, which is fairly soon.

Quentin Tarantino says he'd like to recut Django Unchained into a 4 part miniseries. (http://thedissolve.com/news/2319-quentin-tarantino-tells-cannes-crowd-hed-like-to-r/) But then again Tarantino says a lot of things that never end up happening (where's my Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair? :()

That Wet Hot American Summer prequel could be turned into a miniseries on Netflix (http://www.avclub.com/article/wet-hot-american-summer-tv-series-may-be-coming-ne-205028), and done in a way much like season 4 of Arrested Development (to handle the scheduling difficulties of everyone). Hopefully it works out, because seeing a bunch of 40 year olds playing younger versions of the teenaged characters they played while they were 30 should be great.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordballoon2_zps6530429e.png[/avatar]So the next Pixar movie is about tweens and emotions or something. (http://www.nerdist.com/2014/05/pixars-next-film-inside-out-takes-us-into-the-mind-of-a-tween-girl/)

Quote
(http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/screencrush.com/files/2014/05/Inside-Out.jpg)

In the last six years, Pixar has only released one non-sequel (Brave). But it looks like 2015 will be the return of the daring and original studio that brought us Wall-E and Up, with the release of Inside Out, from director Pete Docter.

At least, that’s the impression I’m getting about this trip inside of the mind of an 11-year-old girl. Here’s the official synopsis released over the weekend:

“From the tepuis of South America to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In 2015, he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all – inside the mind of an 11-year-old named Riley.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith).

The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.”

Inside Out is one of two Pixar films on the way in 2015: November 25th brings us The Good Dinosaur from Up writer-director Bob Peterson (who’s been pulled from the project) and animator Peter Sohn.

That premise sounds corny as all hell, but then again I've never been disappointed by a Pixar movie that wasn't about talking cars, so I'll give it a shot.  Mostly because casting Lewis Black as a literal embodiment of pure anger is kind of brilliant.

Fred Van Lente and Crystal Skillman made a play about Jack Kirby, and it sounds pretty neat. (http://comicsalliance.com/crystal-skillman-fred-van-lente-king-kirby-play-kickstarter/) Oh, and who will play Kirby?

Why, none other than Steven Ratazzi, who you might know as the VOICE OF DOCTOR ORPHEUS FROM THE BROTHERS VENTURE (i would link to the theme that plays when Dr. Orpheus made a grandiose, over-the top statement but I can't find it :()

They have a Kickstarter running and it's almost funded with about a month to go. You should donate!

That Wet Hot American Summer prequel could be turned into a miniseries on Netflix (http://www.avclub.com/article/wet-hot-american-summer-tv-series-may-be-coming-ne-205028), and done in a way much like season 4 of Arrested Development (to handle the scheduling difficulties of everyone). Hopefully it works out, because seeing a bunch of 40 year olds playing younger versions of the teenaged characters they played while they were 30 should be great.
also I just saw this again and this kinda sounds like I don't want to see this happen because they're older but I was just trying to joke about it (because they themselves has often joked that they would be playing younger versions of the characters they were already too old to be playing in the first movie) and I'm really looking forward to it!!!

Korra's never made it to being a truly great show, IMO. The origin of the Avatar two parter from last season is the only one that really stood out to me.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: JustNoPoint on June 12, 2014, 04:35:36 am
To be fair I have only made it to where she's just woke up with amnesia. I'm just finding the season to be very predictable so far, cliche, Korra seems to have regressed instead of learned a thing from S1, the other main characters are mostly being either filler or comic relief. The fact that she's not only the avatar but now happens to be the daughter of the leader of the south tribe and his brother is leader of the north and family Airbender going on a trip that had no meaning at all thus far... Ugh

I'm sure a lot of the things these characters are doing will turn into some kind of plot point but so far it's been nothing short of irritating. A lot of the names and possibly even north/south are incorrect in this post. It has been probably 6 months or more since I last left off. Guess I'll hurry up and catch up now.

Y'all crazy. >:(

I haven't seen the second season since it first ran each of its new episodes myself, so I may be remembering wrong, but Tenzin coming along was to continue Korra's airbender training, which she dismissed him for her uncle as a new trainer for spiritbending.  By the time Desna and Eska left her to die in the sea and she showed up with amnesia, I think they introduced Aang's other children.  They have their own story, so yes, Tenzin's not just there to be there.

In Daredevil: Born Again, Frank Miller had Cap show up near the end of the arc, and in just a few pages he was able to perfectly encapsulate what makes him so fascinating, what makes him such a great character worth emulating.

If the Frank Miller of today wrote him, I have no doubt it'd be a character more belligerent, more casually racist/sexist/classist/homophobic/and so on than Mark Millar's Ultimate Cap at his most excess. Only Miller would mean it all, not like Millar's bungled over the top parodic Cap.

Bet their heads will be even bigger then.

I'm pretty sure I recall McCracken and Tartakovsky said they were done with the show when they did that 10-year anniversary special, and the more recent special didn't exactly impress beyond there being a Beatle in it, nor did the seasons Faust took over, though I suspect people will be wanting her back what with her horse show's success anyways.

Well, see what this turns into, I suppose.  I'm hoping they keep the whole referencing between Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack going, though they're both just as dead now.  Well, besides comics still running.  Or at least I think they're still running?  Maybe add something about the supposed Jack movie coming "eventually"?

The 1st season of Once Upon a Time was pretty good. My prediction for the ruining of the show is that it would never resolve the Emma issue over her believing they are from fairy tales and /or they would never get their memories back and the show would just go on finding dumb ways to keep the status quo.

Imagine my shock when both those things actually happened in s1! Then S2 gets going and it's obvious they had no sound idea for the show past the S1 premise. It was horrible and I'd have rather enjoyed it milking the original idea.
It would have been great to just be a 1 or 2 season mini series just resolving the premises of the curse.

I have no idea how the show got greenlit for spin offs during anything not S1.

Quote
Fans of Homestar Runner, take heart: the seminal internet cartoon that found a major audience in the 2000s is primed for a full comeback. Co-creator Matt Chapman was just interviewed by Jeff Rubin and announced that he and his brother Mike are bringing the cartoon back following a successful April Fool's Day cartoon — the first new content posted to the site in over three years.

Chapman said that the April Fool's cartoon was a way to "see if anyone gives a crap anymore" after updates to the cartoon essentially ground to a near-standstill in December of 2009. Only four cartoons have been posted since then, with the recent April Fool's episode being the first since December of 2010.  Fortunately, fans did, and Chapman went on to say that "the goal will be to start making more stuff, hopefully on a more frequent basis." And while The Brothers Chap don't necessarily plan to update the site as much as they did back in its heyday, they do want to make the site more modern, make it easy to find all of the content they've created over the years, and — most importantly — make more cartoons, regardless of what other work occupies their time.

"I would just love to be making cartoons with those characters again, that’s sort of the first thing that I'm thinking," said Chapman, and while he said it would be "amazing" to do the cartoon full-time, that's not the main goal. "I’m just excited to make these dumb animal characters talk again." Indeed, The Brothers Chap are already discussing a new Strong Bad Email, though there's no word on exactly when regular updates will resume.

Great jorb.   ;D

Emmy nominations are out, and boy are they pretty awful.

And the animation category is pretty good (Archer, Bob's Burgers, and Futurama). Overall though so many terrible choices and baffling placements (the latter is due to the people submitting them, but still, it's nuts); True Detective counts as a series but American Horror Story is a miniseries?

Jesus wept

Every fucking one but Marvel Studios (and the X-Men movie people, sometimes) feels like they're absolutely ashamed of making a movie about superheroes and do they're absolute hardest to apologize for it and present their own, very unique and adult and realistic reinventions of everything so you don't need to feel bad about seeing a movie about people dressed in tights fighting crime. The source material is right there, why the fuck does everyone run away from it as fast as they can?

Is he the conspiracy nut one? I wanna see how Zordon did 9/11
He is indeed. I'm very curious as to how he'll implement a stealth Truther message into Star Trek 3 because he just promised it would finally get away from Earth and stop redoing other, better movies. He also just quit his involvement with the Spider-Man movies (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/13/robert-orci-exits-amazing-spider-man-franchise/) and it sorta sounds like things are a mess over there at Sony and maybe ASM2's poor reception/box office is causing them to panic and and and they eventually collapse and Marvel gets the film rights back!

... I can dream, at least.

considering what we got in all you need is kill, the movie's name will get changed to felix  and tom cruise will play kaneda whom will be a 40something years old gang member because he is actually a cop and infiltrated the gangs or something else about as retarded, the rest of the adaptation will be accurate except that the famous bike will be changed to something slightly less cool for no apparent reason.

Visionary screenwriter and the Constantine show producer David Goyer says that they have access to pretty much all of DC's occult characters, and also that Constantine will absolutely not be portrayed as bisexual because that's totes gross lol and it’s just “one interpretation” of the character." (http://comicsalliance.com/constantine-producers-say-dcs-occult-world-is-open-to-us/) He can go fuck himself.

This is also the same person who swore up and down that his shitty Leonardo da Vinci show where Leonardo is a sexy, lady-banging spy would address the fact that historical evidence overwhelmingly suggests Leonardo was almost certainly gay or less likely bisexual; and when the actual show aired it turns out that was all a load of shit and had Leonardo kiss one dude (“Every kiss sends a message. That one was goodbye.") and it immediately cut to Leonardo getting it on with a sexy lady. So fuck this fucking shithead.

It's weird because it was always something just mentioned in passing (as far as I know, I haven't read all of Hellblazer), save for nu52 Constantine where it's the crux of a storyline. There's nothing that says mentioning it means you'd have to show him making out with men. But then again, there's nothing that says you couldn't show John with a pack of cigs or pulling one out before commercial break and stubbing it out after. I guess it just comes down to personal feeling.

Quote
"........we aren’t looking at this as like, being superheroes. We’re more or less a bunch of kids that had an accident and we have disabilities now that we have to cope with, and try to find a life afterwards – try to be as normal as we can.”

“One of the good things about the Fantastic Four is that everybody is different,” he continued. “And it’s like, sometimes family doesn’t always consist of your relatives or by blood. Sometimes your best friends can feel more like family than your cousins. I think everybody kind of has that same feeling. When you go through an accident together, when you go through a traumatic event, sometimes that brings you closer together.”

Hmm, well, second part is pretty spot on, even with Reed and Sue later marrying and thus Ben Grimm being the only member who's not related to anyone else. They're a literal and metaphoric family!

The Thing is exactly and totally a disability story; Ben Grimm has an accident, is disabled, but overcomes it and finds strength from it. The other guys, not so much. Maybe Jordan was thinking of the Impossible family from Venture Brothers?

Two And A Half Men will have a fake gay wedding (http://www.avclub.com/article/two-and-half-men-have-fake-gay-wedding-equality-207065), which the producers are calling "a very positive statement." This fucking show.

Space Invaders is gonna be a movie (http://thedissolve.com/news/2761-space-invaders/), but how will they be able to adapt the sprawling backstory and plots???

Another sequel is on the way for The Ring (US version). (http://thedissolve.com/news/2764-before-you-die-youll-see-another-sequel-to-the-rin/) Can't wait for jokes about VHS being obsolete!

Darren Aronofsky is interested in a script that is being called "Fargo on the moon" (http://www.avclub.com/article/darren-aronofsky-one-many-filmmakers-interested-fa-207118), which is sadly not literally a sequel to Fargo but on the moon. Just imagine: Officer Marge Gunderson and her wisecracking robot partner (a reconstituted, AI version of Carl Showalter, post-wood chipper) investigate a horrific series of murders on the moon (which has been colonized by midwesterners) as Jerry Lundegaard plots revenge on Marge from the moon prison he is imprisoned on!

The screenwriter of the new FF movie is trying to clear the air off all the bad publicity that's been hanging over the project as of late. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/23/simon-kinberg-tries-to-set-the-fantastic-four-story-straight/) And I mean, stuff like "Also, the notion of this dysfunctional surrogate family that comes together and has to work together is very present in the movie that owes a great debt to the originals. And this idea that they are scientist and that it’s almost like this science adventure, more than being superheroes, they are almost like scientific adventurers, that’s a big part of the movie too." sounds completely and totally spot on and exactly what I'd want to hear from the people in charge of making an FF movie.

... but. Literally everything else about this movie just sounds awful. I mean the cast is good, they're good actors, but as taken as a group it just seems like a bad joke; like, Jaime Bell is awesome, but he is tiny and British, he shouldn't be The Thing!

Also, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 has been delayed two years, to 2018. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/07/23/amazing-spider-man-3-sinister-six-get-release-dates/) Maybe they'll have better luck crafting a movie when they're not trying to rush it together in under 2 years. In the meantime, however, Sinister Six will come out in 2016.

Quote
A few things have changed since we last heard of the new live action Tekken movie. The official title of the film is now 'TEKKEN 2 KAZUYA's REVENGE' and it is set to screen in cinemas on August 21st next month. The previous titles of 'Tekken A Man Called X' and 'Tekken: Revenge Of Kazuya' were seemingly placeholder titles for the project. Besides that, everything else seems pretty much the same. We now have a new movie poster and trailers to show everyone since they've made their way online now and since the film is a prequel to the 2010 live action Tekken movie, it may actually try to distance itself from Tekken's original story. You can see the poster and movie details below. The 'Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge' trailers are courtesy of the Manly Movie website.

I'm very happy with this! That puts all my favorite characters going to the big screen! The only other favorite of mine is MechaGodzilla but I don't see him fitting in this series.

Other than that just Anguirus and Gigan.

I think it's pretty likely they'll have a lot more action shown in the sequel, now that they've really built up the idea of our world being quite literally crushed under the heels of these unfathomably huge creatures that defy all logic and reason.

I also really doubt the Mothra easter egg in the first movie will be related to the actual Mothra. Maybe not a fully mystical with tiny ladies origin (even though it totally should be!), but at the very least it'll be some kind of ancient species like Godzilla.

Edgar Wright's next film, Baby Drivers, will "a close cousin to the Cornetto Trilogy" as well as "a collision of crime, action, music, and sound", (http://www.avclub.com/article/edgar-wright-trade-ant-men-baby-drivers-207226) and will be much better than that shitty movie about ants and the men who love them from the jerks at Marvel, because Wright is too fucking good for them >:[

he also has a movie in the works after that, an adaptation of the YA novel Grasshopper Jungle (http://www.avclub.com/article/edgar-wright-get-over-bug-movie-directing-grasshop-207473) about a hormonal teenager coming to terms with his bisexuality and also he accidentally awakens a group of 6 foot tall preying mantises, who could snap an ant or even a man dressed as an ant in two with their powerful jaws.

Wright is not the kind of director who is fraught with delays: his projects have always gone on time. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios has had a bunch of very high-profile snafus involving actors, directors, et. al. that have really screwed things around. It just doesn't make sense for it to have been Wright.

Post by: Jmorphman on July 29, 2014, 08:13:41 pm
Desperate enough too to hire Wright, yes. Marvel Studios was small back then, they had to choose which projects to focus on; they went with their more well known ones. Then Iron Man was a huge success and Hulk did OK and they got all fired up, as the first signs of trouble started to appear (with the news of Norton's conflicts with the Hulk director, and Terrence Howard being fired). Back then Marvel Studios was still not a sure thing, and they chose to focus on their core, Thor and Captain America; there's only so many release dates in a year after all. By the time Avengers was being prepped, Ant Man was ready to go, but then Edgar Wright's good friend and producer was diagnosed with cancer, and Wright got permission to put Ant Man on hold to finish his Cornetto Trilogy with his friend. And then Avengers and the Disney takeover happened, and suddenly Marvel Studios is huge, and growing more and more averse to risk. Which leads us to now, when production was just about to start and Marvel hands Wright a gutted script, soaked in branding and meaningless cameos. Of course he chose to leave, he was no longer anything but a cog in the Marvel machine.

Ant Man was never going to be made until right before Avengers, but Marvel itself gave Wright the OK to work on another project. When he came back, they pushed him out. Wright deserved better. We deserve better.

Quentin Tarantino's long delayed reedit of Kill Bill, The Whole Bloody Affair (combining both movies into a 4 hour epic), might finally, finally, be getting a release. (http://www.avclub.com/article/much-its-heroine-kill-bill-whole-bloody-affair-ref-207505) He talked about this while at Comic-Con (to promote the Django/Zorro crossover comic), and also mentioned that the anime sequence from volume 1 was originally 30 minutes long, but was never fully animated (it couldn't be finished in time for volume 1's release date, so only the essentials were kept). And here's where it gets interesting: Production I.G. (who did the animation), after finishing the commission,  still had the full script, and they decided to complete the entire sequence on their own dime. Which is... pretty nuts! Anyways that will apparently be included in the supersized cut (I hope that deleted scene with Michael Jai White gets included too).

also from the same panel: Tarantino said he was definitely gonna make Hateful Eight after all (http://www.avclub.com/article/quentin-tarantino-definitely-getting-hateful-eight-207412)

he could have wrighted those wrongs but instead he went cornetto. He wanted in on a project that ended up being far bigger than he imagined, you cant fault the very precarious position that marvel is at for wanting to have more control on what makes it through to the final cut. there were more concessions we know off from marvel towards wright than anyone else.

Also Ed norton is notoriously known for being hard to work with and even he parted amicably.

And he was willing to work in that universe, work with Marvel. It's not like he hasn't worked on a licensed property before that also had him defer to the owner as to how things turned out. Every reliable source on this says that Wright was willing to work with Marvel, but Marvel kept rewriting his script to add things that not only didn't have anything to do with protecting their universe, but actively damaged the movie as a whole.

I've been thinking about this since it was announced and as much I'm getting tired of Melissa McCarthy's schtick, this is infinitely preferable to a sequel with only 1/2 to 3/4 of the team and no Ramis to rein in Akroyd's craziness.

Sony could be the first one of the 4 studios making superhero movies to put out a female-led superhero movie (in this decade, at least). (http://comicsalliance.com/report-sony-planning-a-woman-led-superhero-movie-in-the-spider-man-franchise/) Deadline says candidates include Spider-Woman (I'm not sure which of the Spider-Women Sony has claim to, all but one of them are not connected to Spider-Man at all. And who wants a Mattie Franklin movie besides John Byrne?), Black Cat (seems the most likely), Silver Sable (huuuuh doesn't seem likely at all), Firestar (ditto), and... Stunner? Doctor Octopus's sorta girlfriend who uses a solid virtual reality construct body to fight? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?!

but jeez, Marvel you gotta pick up the fucking pace, don't let Warner and Sony beat you to the punch, their shit is gonna suck!

also this might be a better fit in the Marvel comics thread but I'm here so Tom Brevoort has basically confirmed that Marvel is trying to reduce the prominence of the X-Men franchise, much like what they've done with Fantastic Four.

Shouldn't they have the Ultimate one, who is a female clone of Peter from the clone saga ?
Tom Brevoort has basically confirmed that Marvel is trying to reduce the prominence of the X-Men franchise
What are the X-Men doing these days anyway ? Every time I look at it, there's nothing of interest going on. They were making a school, they had nothing but kids with fucking weird powers, and then there was the time where the first generation of X-Men was sent through time to meet the current generation... It always seems like it's focusing more on the "kids who happen to have powers try to have a school life and just want to blend in the outside world" mutant issue. Which is fine as a theme, but... boring.
(actually the reason for that may possibly be tied to the very same movie/rights problem, maybe)

basically since AVX the best xmen have joined the avengers and the others are kinda just hanging around. WATX is a pretty good fun book, focusing on the morrison type of stories, ( evil brotherhood of mutants school, sauron viruses, krakoa as a groundskeeper) but other than that they have been relegating the xmen to shitty writers for a while.

The Last of Us

It's pretty clear that the film adaptation of the video game will have to cut a lot of stuff from the game, and Neil Druckmann talked about some of the differences: "I'm in the middle of it now, and it's been super difficult because there's so much that happens in The Last of Us – even just in the cinematics – that can't fit in a film, let alone all the gameplay in-between and dialogue."

Druckmann went on to comment that the film, which is being created in collaboration with Spider-Man and Evil Dead director Sam Raimi, will retain the core relationship between Joel and Ellie from the game, but may differ significantly in other regards.

"It almost has this novel quality as far as how much content there is," he explained. "And a film works really well when it's laser-focused, so the first part of it was like: well, what is this story really about? It's clearly about Joel and Ellie. What are the most important beats that we can't lose? Start with those, and cut everything else out.

"It's been really difficult to cut certain things out, but what I'm starting to get this is really focused narrative that's about these two characters. Some parts will be similar to the game and some parts will be quite different, but it's kind of interesting in helping me understand this other medium and its strengths compared to video games."

She also says it cost her a “budding relationship” with a guy she describes as “employed, Jewish, in his 30s and that’s pretty much ideal,” but who never called her back after the show aired. No doubt her would-be husband is out there now, searching for the kind of nice girl who will only go on national TV and grind her naked genitals against a man she’s just met behind the veil of digital pixilation, as per Jewish tradition.

It's pretty weird that a mouse owns a dog but kind of understandable in a batshit toon logic sort of way, but once you find out Goofy is also a dog, the tenuous structure holding it all together collapses and it gets super weird!

The Escape From New York remake is apparently still happening, and these are the rumored frontrunners for Snake: Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy, Pacific Rim), Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead) and Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey). (http://thedissolve.com/news/3113-escape-from-new-york-rumors/). Which are all... barf. C'mon. No. This remake doesn't need to exist, and if it does, surely you can find better choices than these three.

Post by: Jmorphman on September 04, 2014, 02:40:55 am
I'm not super against remaking things, but some stuff just doesn't make sense remaking. Usually there's a good chance that a remake can be good if there is something new to be mined from the source material (see John Carpenter's The Thing vs. Howard Hawkes's The Thing From Another World), or even if the creative vision behind it is going in a much, much different way than the previous movie (David Cronenburg's The Fly, for instance).

But Escape From New York? It wasn't adapted from anything, and the movie explored pretty much everything that could be done in that scenario and world. One movie was enough (and it's a shame that Carpenter and Russel tried again with Escape From L.A. because that movie was just awful), there's no reason to remake it. And the whole "crime-ridden New York has become so awful that it got turned into a prison" made sense back in the '80s, but now? After it's been cleaned up so much? It loses something, I think.

Jennifer Carpenter will star in a new drama on USA about government officials operating in a fictional Middle Eastern country, and the series will be named after said country. That county/title? Stanistan. (http://www.avclub.com/article/dexters-jennifer-carpenter-will-star-usa-pilot-abo-208808)

Bryan Fuller talks about the American Gods TV show adaptation (http://www.denofgeek.us/tv/american-gods/239009/bryan-fuller-updates-us-on-american-gods-tv-adaptation); things to note:

- Shadow (whose ethnicity is not made clear in the novel, only that is not white; this fact is fairly relevant to the plot) will absolutely not turned white for this adaptation, because that, as Fuller says, would make him and the rest of the people working on this "biggest assholes on television."). That's a big relief!
- Since this will be a multi-season show, they're going to be doing a good deal of expanding things. Specifically mentioned are an increased focus on Laura (which sounds like just filling in what she was doing in the novel, while "off-screen"), and a huge upgrade in Bilquis's prominence (since she only appears in one chapter of the novel).

this last one is kind of spoilerish

I wonder how they'll do the COMING TO AMERICA side-stories, it certainly sounds like they have the space to adapt them and they're really cool and build up the world and goddamn it I want my gay ifrit story, that was really good >:[

There was also some news about the adaptation of American Gods' spin-off novel, Anansi Boys, which is being done by BBC: it will be a multi-part, hour long miniseries (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/09/12/neil-gaimans-anansi-boys-to-be-a-multi-part-hour-long-bbc-tv-series/), which sounds like exactly what it should be. Unlike American Gods it's really self-contained and much smaller, it doesn't need much expansion, I think. I just really hope they share the same actor for Mr. Nancy, across series!!!

So, Judd Apatow was developing a TV show starring Gillian Jacobs a while back, right after Community got canceled; when Community got a last-minute revival via Yahoo, the project was presumed to be either shelved or was being reconfigured for another actor, because Jacobs would be busy with Community. But I'm happy to say that this is not the case, she'll be doing both! And Paul Rust (wholoveschemicalssomuchhe'saWalterWhiteoverhere (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru4CrOJU1_o) is a writer on stuff including Arrested Development and Comedy Bang Bang! The TV show, actor in stuff including I Love You, Beth Cooper; chief among all of these credits is, of course, his recurring Comedy Bang Bang! The Podcast segment, New No-Nos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D8MLaX2AS8#t=98)) is starring opposite her! The show has already gotten a two season order from Netflix, which is pretty rad, looking forward to this!

In the latest episode of Meet the Movie Press over at Schmoes Know, Mark Reilly revealed:
Quote
“I heard from the director that they finally figured out the script and it was right before this was announced … that they figured out, and you guys are all gonna hate this, they figured out how to make it PG-13 and therefore not lose its soul – that’s a quote – of the script so that they can make it.”

About that: the co-writer of the screenplay spoke out on Twitter that a ratings decision hasn't been made, and won't be made for quite a long while (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=108083), and honestly, a Deadpool movie doesn't really need an R rating.

Star Trek 13/3 might bring back William Shatner as Kirk, and have him onscreen with Leonard Nemoy's original universe Spock, somehow. (http://www.avclub.com/article/star-trek-3-might-reunite-william-shatner-and-leon-209544) Not really sure how they'll pull that off (Kirk is in the old universe, and also dead because fuck you Star Trek Generations, you killed him with a fucking bridge, like, really? god you were so fucking terrible, go to your room, how the fuck do you screw up the Picard/Kirk teamup like that, ugh), but it is apparently central to the plot?

Bryan Singer is confirmed to direct X-Men Apocalypse. (http://www.avclub.com/article/bryan-singer-confirmed-direct-x-men-apocalypse-obv-209532) The basic plot details have also been coming together: it takes place 10 years after the past section of Days of Future Past, has all the main cast from that section (Magneto, Xavier, Mystique, Beast, Wolverine) returning, and also will feature younger versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm. The villain will obviously be Apocalypse, apparently unleashed by the time traveling from DoFP.

Well, sure, Deadpool always shoots people in the face and cuts up people with severe prejudice (edit - oh yeah, and he gets blown up to bits himself too !), but I guess it's possible to make it without the blood.

Or, here's an idea: they just make a Deadpool movie but don't directly depict dismemberment; but yeah, I know, I know, that's a pretty radical thought!

You can get away with a surprising amount of violence with a PG-13 rating, but they would have to shy away from blood. That's all doable, but dismembering and the like would probably have to be done in silhouette, unless they wanna say Deadpool doesn't bleed or something.

Sure it's possible to sanitize it, but the wording just felt so unbelievably bad. They made it PG-13 "therefore it doesn't lose its soul". This sounds like they think it's actually closer to "Deadpool's soul" if they make it PG-13 and don't add dismemberment. The whole causality relationship. I just don't see how they can say that.

You can show limbs being lost with a PG-13 rating! You just can't show a huge amount of the blood and gore associated with it; you're not losing a ton with that gone anyway!

Hulk vs Wolverine is actually a pretty good example; the amount of blood in that was IIRC fairly light, but Deadpool was still being sliced and diced all over. And guess what it was rated?

Sure it's possible to sanitize it, but the wording just felt so unbelievably bad. They made it PG-13 "therefore it doesn't lose its soul". This sounds like they think it's actually closer to "Deadpool's soul" if they make it PG-13 and don't add dismemberment. The whole causality relationship. I just don't see how they can say that.
Yeah it's just so awkwardly phrased; they had to mean something like "figured out how to make it PG-13 without losing its soul", or something. "Therefore" is just so bizarre.

I haven't seen either but I've read a few reviews of each: Gotham is supposed to look gorgeous and has a great cast, but it suffers a lot from poor writing and the level of references to future Batman stuff (BOY EDWARD NYGMA, YOU SURE LOVE RIDDLES) somehow manages to out-Smallville Smallville in frequency and cringiness.

Scorpion is apparently a combination of CSI and The Big Bang Theory, and more specifically, all of the worst elements from either show.

Yeah the production is great, the cast is good, the feel of it is nice overall, it's got enough potential that I'm willing to give it a chance to get on it feet. It plays the fanboy card WAYYYY too much so far (That little homeless girl likes cats! Did ya get it? The forensics guy likes riddles! Did ya get it?), but hopefully that's just because they want to get that shit out of the way now. I do like the 'unsolvable case' procedural hook being the Waynes' murder, hopefully they'll give it enough of the same twist that they gave they rest of the mythos, like Bullock being Gordon's partner instead of Flass, or Montoya and Allen already being a part of Major Crimes.

Also, it's before Sleepy Hollow so it's gonna get more of a chance from me than I usually give.

The Y: The Last Man movie is dead. (http://thedissolve.com/news/3371-the-y-the-last-man-movie-is-dead-yet-again/) Although the last iteration of the long production sounded pretty promising, at least when compared to the other potential directions it had taken over its lifetime (I still shudder to think of the aborted D.J. Caruso-directed, Shia Labeouf-starring attempt), I think this is probably for the best, especially since the rights have reverted to creators Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra. Vaughn recently said he's not interested in working in Hollywood anymore, after some bad experiences there, so there might not be any adaptation of it at all. Which is completely fine, not everything needs nor should be adapted. But hey, I wouldn't be opposed to a cable TV series adaptation!!!

A movie based on Key and Peele's amazing Substitute Teacher sketch is in development. (http://thedissolve.com/news/3376-key-peele-add-a-substitute-teacher-feature-to-thei/) While the sketch itself is a somewhat limiting premise (which is of course just a teacher mispronouncing student's names), the character of the substitute teacher could easily be stretched out into a full movie, like a reverse of those dumb "earnest white teacher tries to reach inner city school students" movies, or something.

Gotham turned down the tryhard, the "look, this guy is here ! and that guy too ! you know them !" seems to be turning more to the "this villain's life before being a villain and how he became a villain" that I expected. Although they made it way too easy for Penguin (but the actor is good in his role, good for him), and you can just see Riddler cry "let me out already !" inside Nygma, not to mention the "everyone knows each other" (Selina/Cat, Gordon, Nygma, Ivy on the first episode...) is too easy. At least the relationship between Bruce and Alfred is pretty cool, it's always a good thing. The violence/edginess got toned down a bit too, with some dark humor thrown in (the evil woman's gun jamming), that's a good thing.
And Richard Kind. His mayor is super cliché right now, but I want to see where he goes.

Fox is rumored to be preparing a live action X-Men TV series (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/notyetamovie/news/?a=108885), based on Peter David's amazing X-Factor run(s); specifically, the show is supposedly based on the modern, Jamie Madrox-starring mutant detective agency run. Moreover, to allay concerns of running into an Agents of SHIELD type situation (no superheroes on the show that people know from the movies), the rumors are that they're adding Evan Peters' Quicksilver to the mix. Also mentioned is a female lead, in addition to Quicksilver (I assume/hope Madrox is the "chief", and the two leads are the "detectives", that sorta thing); hopefully it's M!!!

The all-female Ghostbusters reboot/revamp/resomething is official: and it is being directed by Paul Feig and written by Katie Dippold (http://deadline.com/2014/10/ghostbusters-paul-feig-female-848163/), re-teaming since doing The Heat. I'm still unsure if this is a good idea, but this definitely has a lot of potential and of all the ideas that were tossed around for Ghostbusters III this is easily the best!

Once I accepted that this Ghostbusters movie was inevitable, this was always going to be the best version of it that didn't involve time traveling to 1991 with the script for the game and coercing Bill Murray into filming it.

Hey guys, what's the theme for this "Catwoman" character again?  Was she a cyborg dragoon knight?  I'm just gonna draw a cyborg dragoon knight.  Someone said something about cats, but that doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure what I hate more, the stupid robot armor with robo-tail for some reason and the cowl that is not at all reminiscent of Catwoman but instead looks like it came from Batman, or the fact that the robot armor leaves all her vital organs exposed because why let your expensive robot armor actually work as armor if it gets in the way of titties?

Paul Feig interview about the Ghostbusters reboot: (http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/10/08/paul-feig-ghostbusters-female/) the big takeaway is that this is a full reboot, no returning characters, this is all brand new (that said, he also mentions that he would love for the original cast to cameo in new roles). I'm pretty surprised that they're making all the right decisions for this reboot, this truly is the best possible scenario for a Ghostbusters sequel/reboot.

Marvel is teaming with IDW to publish collections of the Amazing Spider-Man newspaper strip. (http://comicbook.com/2014/10/12/marvel-and-idw-team-for-spider-man-newspaper-strip-collection-av/) It will likely be a long time until the latter years began to be collected, so you'll just have to do without a handy collection of strips wherein Spidey is constantly being knocked out by falling bricks, stationary pipes, and ordinary, human thugs who are somehow immune to Spider-sense:

James Cameron said:
"I pointed out that the outer covering (of the Terminator) was actually not synthetic, that it was organic and therefore could age. You could theoretically have a Terminator that was sent back in time, missed his target, and ended up just kind of living on in society. Because he is a learning computer and has a brain as a central processor he could actually become more human as he went along without getting discovered."

”The way that the character is written, it's a machine underneath," the actor said. "It's this metal skeleton. But above that is human flesh. And the Terminator's flesh ages, just like any other human being's flesh. Maybe not as fast. But it definitely ages.”

We have ARNOLD in the next Terminator for sure.

Fox is making an Archie show called Riverdale, one that is apparently a "bold, subversive take". (http://www.avclub.com/article/fox-refuses-stay-out-riverdale-turns-archie-tv-sho-210898) Which sounds wearisome, but the show is being shepherded by the creator of Arrow, The Flash, and the Supergirl shows along with Archie's chief creative officer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, so maybe it will actually be good???

Goodfellas actor Frank Sivero is suing The Simpsons for $250 million for stealing his likeness for one of the henchmen of Fat Tony. (http://www.avclub.com/article/goodfellas-actor-sues-simpsons-allegedly-stealing--210820) Apparently this really minor character has led to him being typecast in mob roles, which he certainly had never played for most of his career before appearing in Goodfellas. It's a pretty crazy lawsuit, and worth reading the article to learn more!

Also, Fox is making a show about Frakenstein (http://www.avclub.com/article/fox-making-show-called-frankenstein-its-not-about--210861) except not at all, not really. Despite its title, this show is actually about "a morally corrupt FBI agent" who is resurrected from the dead by "an antisocial Internet billionaire and his bio-engineer twin sister."

So.

At this point, I'm wondering if a "traditional" take would be more subversive than a subversive take. Archie's gone through 10,000 permutations at this point. Anything you do is just going to seem like any other CW show unless they're from space or something.

The mother of humanity's messiah was orphaned by a Terminator at age 9. Since then, she's been raised by (brace yourself) Schwarzenegger's Terminator—an older T-800 she calls "Pops"—who is programmed to guard rather than to kill. As a result, Sarah is a highly trained antisocial recluse who's great with a sniper rifle but not so skilled at the nuances of human emotion.

I'm pretty sure this is a reboot based on the fact that it doesn't seem to be taking place in 1984 and they've recast everybody except for Arnold. Which kind of makes me nuts, because I'm pretty sure Skynet can start sending people back to kill Kyle Reese at this point and not miss a beat without the need to start everything over again.

it was part of a contest wherein fans could design sets and then vote on the best, with the winners having a chance of becoming an actual official Lego set. TBBT one and two educational bird models (???) beat out all the rest, including, surprisingly, two Doctor Who sets. If not even Doctor Who can fell TBBT, what can???

Imagine if Marvel and Disney had taken this route.
Thomas "Thor" Odinson (so named for his prowess in high school football) is the heir to a massive fortune accrued by his father who is CEO of the enormous international "Asgard" company, one of the world's leading military weapons and technology developers. The rebellious Thomas gains possession of the state of the art weapon MJOLNIR which becomes coded to his genetic signature, much to the ire of his adopted brother, Lorne Odinsson. Lorne has aspirations of taking control of Asgard and has prodigious skills as a hacker, gaining him the online nickname of "L0K1".

Quote
Guardians of the Galaxy:

An orphan named Peter Quill was picked up by a gang of pirates preying on cargo ships on international waters. Quill betrays them to get hands on "the stone", a device containing data for the most dangerous computer virus in the world. This makes him the target of Roland "Rocket" Anderson, a bearded bounty hunter with dwarfism and anger problems as well as "Groot", a tall, incredibly strong man with severe brain damage that renders him unable to say anything but "I am Groot". He is also chased by Gal Gamora, an Israeli former Mossad hired gun and the adopted daughter of Middle Eastern dictator "Thaddeus Nos", one of the most feared terrorists in the world. She is currently under the employ of R0N4N, a cyber terrorist and anarchist. R0N4N plans to use the "Infinity Virus" to shut down all communications in North America, causing widespread chaos.

While trapped in an Iranian prison, Peter Quill, Gamora, Rocket and Groot meet "Damien Racks", a man who lost his family after R0N4N stole his identity and framed him for hacking into secure government files. Together, they form an unlikely bond and decide to stop R0N4N.

Let us take this quote from God Grant Morrison and apply it to all bad adaptations.

I think it makes them more tolerable:
Quote
"I think it’s better for the fans to have different type of Batman, especially with Batman having so many viable interpretations. It’s hard to do Batman wrong actually. I like to see all the different versions of him. I think it’s great that the All Star Batman & Robin The Boy Wonder version is out there as well because he is another take on it. I don’t necessarily agree with everything [writer] Frank [Miller] is doing with it but I think it’s great. And I love the way that he just takes no prisoners. He just does things that he knows are going to drive people mad. But he does it with such obsessive determination and style. You just have to eventually roll over and say, ‘Cool, I just want to see more of this stuff’ because it’s good to be shocked. Batman could easily be like that character."

Post by: Jmorphman on November 11, 2014, 09:33:05 pm
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh I dunno, I think there's a limit to how far you can stretch things. Like, All Star Batman wasn't a huge deviation from Miller's own Batman stuff, it was just terrible in and of itself. This FF reboot sounds like it's trying desperately to run away from everything that is interesting and unique about the Fantastic Four, in favor of... well, the Dr. Doom actor just gave another interview where he called the movie "a realistic, lo-fi attempt at a super hero movie (http://comicbook.com/2014/11/11/fantastic-four-reboot-is-a-realistic-lo-fi-attempt-at-a-superher/), which, ugh.

there is a time and a place for that, and it's necessary even to keep the genre of superhero movies from growing stale, but not for the fucking Fantastic Four, a team that is literally the exact opposite of realistic and lo-fi. :noo:

It's like they live in a world where Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't the most successful movie of the year.

Yeah, there's plenty of titles where being grounded and lo-fi would work well. It worked for Batman, it could work for Daredevil and the likes of Luke Cage, and the Spiderman and X-Men movies could have gone a little further and still stayed decent (very boring and limited, but it could be made not terrible with a few one-shot ideas). But the titles that go cosmic and extravagantly supernatural ? Seriously ? What are they going to do with fucking Galactus ?

I... you.. it...

Fantastic Four is literally about actual goddamn astronauts who get superpowers from a magic energy storm on a space ship!  What about that could ever, EVER be considered "realistic" or "lo-fi?"  It is one of the goofiest things to ever come out of mainstream superhero comics!

Bob's Burgers will switch timeslots with Mulaney (which is absolutely tanking) (http://www.avclub.com/article/mulaney-and-bobs-burgers-will-be-switching-spots-f-211736), effective immediately. That gives Bob's Burgers the prime timeslot right after Family Guy, while also getting it out of the dangerous 7:30 spot, which is frequently interrupted by football games going overly long. It's pretty great!

i mean I guess it sucks for Mulaney but Jesus that show is so depressing, he's so funny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYIwPu50Fic), why is his sitcom so bland and lame and feels like it came out of a time warp from the 90s? :(

You can save almost any comic book character ever with that excuse.

So uh, yeah, anyway, Black Canary is awesome, but one usually needs to actually experience something before they make giant, sweeping judgements against them for arbitrary reasons :V


Universal is establishing a "brain trust" to oversee their Monster Movie Universe (http://www.avclub.com/article/universal-assembling-brain-trust-write-its-monster-211842), which, wait, is still a thing? I thought it collapsed after Dracula Untold bombed? Oh well, guess they're just powering through. The interesting thing here is that this brain trust is basically a TV writer's room, but for movie franchises.

Tim Heidecker, Nick Kroll, Kaitlin Olson, and Michael Pena have joined the cast of the Vacation reboot/sequel/thing. (http://thedissolve.com/news/3967-tim-heidecker-nick-kroll-kaitlin-olson-and-michael/) Well this is starting to pique my interest. Also, Kaitlin Olson should be cast in more things, she's so fucking amazing, especially with physical comedy. And actually you know what the entire cast of It's Always Sunny should be cast in more things, they're too good!

I'm pretty pumped; there's one thing of note, though: almost exactly a year ago, the Bond producers finally settled their long running dispute with the estate of the screenwriter who may or may not have come up with SPECTRE; the lawsuits and controversy resulting from all that resulted in SPECTRE, Bloefeld, and the associated concepts and characters being in a state of weird legal limbo where no one was able to use them.

Sooooooo, what with Skyfall ending in a quasi-reboot to the original movies, maybe Waltz is playing a certain cat stroking supervillain? They could even tie it into QUANTUM, or something.

The Titans designs don't translate well into american comic styled art. In fact, they look cheap, out of place. This is an abortion.
you have not read the original manga, have not you? titans are just lazily drawn humans.

I guess people can find her boring if they are into the rest of DC's godlike characters, I mean she's more of a street level character, and thats why I've always enjoyed her. The cartoons just usually make her one dimensional with her being a great fighter. I enjoyed it though, because I like women who kick ass.

I really wish JLU had been able to do that Birds of Prey episode they were kicking around (stupid Bat-embargo), because the Barbara Gordon/Black Canary friendship is so fucking great. And Gail Simone was gonna write that episode! Screw you The Batman, ruining everything! >:[

I find her boring because she only has straight-forward fisticuffs stuff, she never does anything special, even if you lower your expectations by her being "street level". She has her canary cry, but either it's always a one-move-win because godlike, or she avoids using it because it would be too easy. As far as street-level heroes go, Green Arrow brings some humor and some variety in arrow usage, Wild Cat has this gruff vet' attitude, etc. As for writing, none of the stories I've seen her in has made any impact on me while making her relevant.

JLU couldn't really get into it, but the legacy hero stuff involving Canary in the comics is pretty compelling, IMO. But I was fine with her just beating the shit out of people, I love that kind of street level stuff.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Neocide on November 14, 2014, 08:34:59 pm
what Jmorph said, and she played well off of GA in the comics as well, they just kept her pretty simple in the cartoons because, they would rather build up superman and batman and the others. As much as JLU had so many hero's it still focused a lot on the core 7.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on November 14, 2014, 08:37:37 pm
But JLU usually managed to give a decent characterization to all the guys who popped up like once or twice. BC has... being normal. Nothing wrong with that, but it feels too much like she can be switched by anyone else at any time for the same result - action and writing all the same (and  by "switched with anyone" I mean any normal human with good enough fighting skills). I'd almost say she lacks a gimmick, or at least, a personality. Her cry being either godlike or useless (with no other option in between) doesn't help. I guess she's mostly good when she's teaming up with someone as a duo (or in a team no bigger than 3) to be the other's sidekick, the "straight man".
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on November 14, 2014, 08:45:05 pm
Of the four major, non-original 7 Justice League members they brought in for JLU (the other three being Huntress, Green Arrow, and the Question), Canary definitely was developed the least, though I would argue that has more to do with her not having a simple gimmick that is easily built off of (Huntress had the antiheroism tendencies/revenge stuff, Green Arrow had his being an argumentative braggart, and Question had his conspiracy theories); moreover, the really interesting stuff she had in the comics weren't easily transferable to the show (legacy hero, trained by all the Golden Age heroes, friendship and partnership with Barbara Gordon), at least not in an ensemble series that she joined in its third season. Either way, I think they used her as best they could, as a sounding board to develop other characters, as a kickass martial artist for action sequences, and they even got in the Green Arrow/Black Canary flirtation too, which is always fun.

edit: oh yeah, she was the straight man, most definitely. And I would argue that, like with the straight man characters in comedy, it's actually a hard role to pull off and is absolutely essential to making things work!

The director of the Night at the Museum movies is planning an Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, which is being billed as "being in the vein ofGuardians of the Galaxy." (http://thedissolve.com/news/3981-shawn-levys-planned-forty-thieves-already-being-co/) Now, sure, all that sounds terrible, but just you wait: they are currently eying three actors for the lead. Naturally, for the lead role of Ali Baba, their three choices are all blonde white dudes.

Yep.

More Universal monster stuff: don't you folks worry, Universal is taking out all of the horror from these movies, and modeling things on superhero movies, (http://collider.com/universal-monster-movies-action-adventure/) because that sells better.

I can kinda see her appeal but I dont think she was used in interesting ways.

You know, whenever I'm reminded of how most of those things on that list (and other stuff not listed there but is still in a grey area, like the Kree) all came from the original, Lee/Kirby run of Fantastic Four, I'm always astounded. There's just so much stuff there, stuff that literally and figuratively formed the foundation of the Marvel universe. It sure would be pretty foolish to try and badmouth that book!

The transitional period of the beginning of the silver age was marked by them. Comics with flawed characters and a bit of drama, following more into science fiction than their pulpy forefathers. It kept many of those things that made pulp cool like exploration and families of scientists but it ended up being the cornerstone on which many of the modern comic books were based. From the shared universe and continuity to the very tropes that make so many of those movies and comics a success.

If Arrow is posted in this topic (instead of the DC cinematic universe thread), I assume Flash goes here too, I'm a bit lost between all the threads and subjects crossing each other.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/11/13/the-great-flash-conspiracy-of-2024/
A theory on Dr. Harrison Wells being Barry Allen stranded in time after failing to rescue his mother and waiting things out.
(ignoring the part where Wells coldly kills people when they threaten Barry's future) That's... an interesting idea, but I'm a bit confused on what to think of it. When they showed the 2024 newspaper, I was fearing they expected the series to run for 10 years and leave us waiting until then, but at least this theory would mean they could resolve it right at season 1 with Wells coming clean and solving the case. The concept itself is interesting, but it could so easily go wrong, so I'm not sure. Still, I want to trust the guys who pulled their head out of their ass to salvage Arrow fast enough (in spite of it still having numerous random woopsies every now and then), so I guess we'll see how they actually make it happen.

No better than a fan theory, not even a rumor. It has holes like Wells killing people which is extremely not Flash, but it's a rather interesting idea, I thought. Giving him a villain behavior could easily be a red herring... until the point where he kills people of course. It could still be going somewhere.
Oh, it's probably wrong too since a future Flash going back in time couldn't possibly have a newspaper from after the time when he disappeared (and went back in time). (but by the same reasoning he can't be Zoom either !) Still, it might be getting somewhere : we're at least practically certain he's from the future.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Speedpreacher on November 16, 2014, 06:16:17 am
What a weird theory.

But no, Wells is Zoom. Wells is most likely Professor Zoom (Comes from a future where the Flash is one of the greatest heroes that ever lived) with Hunter Zolomon's motivation (make him a "better" hero by manipulating events around him).

I think Thawne will probably be the reverse (ba-dum-tish) - Hunter Zolomon (in that he's a contemporary of Barry that works with him and a friend, more or less) with Professor Zoom's motivation (fuck the Flash, I hate him).

I think they're both going to be the Reverse-Flash, although I think Thawne will be the one in the suit we see in the set pics and promo material.

Flash :
okay, if I'm a cop, Wells definitely jumped to the top of my list of suspects. He's the only one Joe told about his investigation, and right after telling Wells he's a suspect, then giving him time to clear his name, Zoom shows up for the first time in 14 years and threatens Joe ? That's just too obvious that he's connected one way or another or leaked the information somehow. That plot really needs to take a big step forward in the next episode, it can't stay like that even if daddy fears that his daughter gets threatened.

Post by: Byakko on November 26, 2014, 02:21:33 am
Wasn't the feathers thing addressed in the leak from some time back that revealed the genetically modified dinosaurs ? It said something like, they wouldn't change the ones from the first movies in spite of more recent theories on them having feathers, but they would introduce the genetically modified ones to "fix" that (well, it's not fixing anything if they say the ones with feathers are genetically modified, but you get it).
Although that bit might have come together with the leak that they were going to make weapons out of dinosaurs, I'm not sure, so it might be bogus. But we haven't actually seen the new dinosaur, either.
Oh, and they could still come up with a quick excuse that the ones from the first movies were crossed with frogs or whatever it was, to explain the lack of feathers, and still have them here, and the new ones are more "correct". After all, the trailer does say they've learned more with genetics in a decade than they have with a century of digging up bones, so who knows. But that sort of attention to detail is of course assuming there are people who give enough shit to take 5 minutes to work it out.

title was revealed, it's gonna be called: SPECTRE :flipout:
(http://i.imgur.com/BfA47qr.jpg)
Quote
A cryptic message from Bond’s past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.
Mr. White from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace is returning, and the plot description seems to hint that they're going to to wrap up the Quantum plot from those two movies (message from Bond's past) by folding it in with SPECTRE (maybe Quantum becomes SPECTRE, or something). Christoph Waltz's role was revealed to be the son of one of Bond's mentors, and rumors are that he is in fact Bloefeld, and will reveal himself in the movie.

with the stuff about shooting in the Alps, and Bautista's character looking like a classic henchmen, this movie really feels like a very cool throwback to the classic Bond movies; I'm pretty excited!!!

Trailer looks great but I still can't help feeling like Star Trek is the girl Abrams took to the prom but didn't really want to go with, and then he ditched it and left with Star Wars.

but I can't blame a ton of how those two Star Treks turned out on him; the weaker parts of the first and the absolute shittiness of the second all had to do with the writing, from that terrible screenwriting duo who wrote the Transformers movies and ruined the Spider-Man movies too. Maybe if Abrams had a better connection to the source material and was able to steer the script development into a better direction, things would've turned out better, but oh well, he's now with the franchise that fits him like a glove.

Yeah, I really can't see them doing it in this movie; maybe they could bring in Tracy way down the line, after Craig (he has, I think, two movies left, and I can't imagine they'd end Craig's last movie on that cliffhanger). But in all honesty, I think we're a long way off before they start redoing stuff that's already been adapted.

They just literally made a reboot in 2009, and realized how boring a premise the series was and decided to reboot it again. It's going to end the same way, because the premise is shit.

Feeling that they shouldn't be one upped by Hollywood, Toho is producing a new Godzilla movie of their own. (http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3323746/real-godzilla-returns-japan/)

Quote
In the first “Domestic Godzilla” since the 2004 Godzilla Final Wars, Toho Company Ltd. will be producing an all-new Godzilla film to be released in 2016.

“The screenplay is currently in development and we plan to start shooting next summer. We cannot announce cast or staff selections at this time. And we’re still deliberating whether to bring Godzilla to life via CGI or man-in-suit,” said Taiji Ueda (producer of Trick: The Movie ~ Last Stage), who will oversee the new “Godzicon” group – an organization to discuss and decide a wide range of strategies for promoting Godzilla – as Project Leader.

“This resurrection will be the centerpiece for ’16, and this is the force of our words.”

They plan on making something bigger and better than Hollywood’s version.

“The passionate voices of the fans clamored for a resurrection (of the Japanese Godzilla). We will bring the monster back to Japan, with the same high-quality, by bringing together our collective know-how, which we’ve been striving for, so we can’t lose to Hollywood,” he said with confidence.

That looks gorgeous.

Some of this was already posted in the MCU thread but there's some more stuff: as revealed in the recent Sony leaks, Sony is currently throwing every idea that sticks to the wall in their desperate attempt at saving their Spider-Man movie franchise. One of those was letting Marvel reboot the franchise but for Sony to handle the distribution and advertising, which fell through. Another idea on the table, which is still under consideration, is an animated comedy movie by Clone High/Lego Movie/21 Jump Street maestros Chris Miller and Phil Lord (http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/12/09/sony-marvel-discussed-spider-man-movie-crossover/), which sounds amazing, simply from that description.

Also, something else from the Sony leaks: currently under consideration is , which, what? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?! (http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/12/10/sony-plans-men-in-black-jump-street-crossover/a 21 Jump Street/Men in Black crossover[/url)

previously in the MCU thread
Marvel wanting to boot out Andrew Garfield was apparently the point of contention with the Sony execs, and may have led to them backing out of a deal to share the Spider-Man movie rights.

And speaking of Sony execs not wanting to recast Andrew Garfield...
Sony might be looking to boot out Andrew Garfield (http://mashable.com/2014/12/12/spider-man-may-appear-in-captain-america-3-but-not-played-by-andrew-garfield/), in part because of some critical remarks he made about Sony after the disastrous reception Amazing Spider-Man 2 got.

Or maybe they'll just reboot everything, because "diminishing returns" is not something that exists, right? One of the ideas for a Spidey reboot would be having an older, adult Peter Parker (possibly married too?) (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/13/exclusive-sony-hack-reveals-studio-planning-another-spider-man-reboot.html), and perhaps trying to tackle the seminal "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline. Which is... an odd choice, picking the story where Kraven, despondent over his repeated failed attempts to kill Spider-Man, gives it one last desperate try, culminating in his suicide. Kinda weird to do that if no one knows who the fuck Kraven the Hunter is or has no attachment to him?

It really does seem like they don't really have any clue on what Star Trek stands for, or how to make a movie out of it. They just have been aping other, more popular movies (Star Wars for the 1, The Dark Knight for 2) and grafting them haphazardly onto a Star Trek framework. At least it mostly worked with 1, but jeez, this doesn't inspire me with any confidence.

I guess at the very least there won't be any crypto-9/11-truther messages barely hidden in the movie!

He'd be a great Bond.

In the wake of the The Interview canceling, the Alamo Drafthouse chain of theaters planned to replace the showings of The Interview with Team America (which also similarly has Kim Jong-il as an antagonist). Not to be outdone by Sony, however, Paramount has canceled those screenings (https://deadline.com/2014/12/paramount-cancel-team-america-1201329597/).

 There's gonna be a comic sequel to David Cronenburg's The Fly (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/12/19/idw-publish-fly-outbreak/) (ignoring that shitty sequel that already exists, of course). Sounds like it could be an interesting concept but it also sounds kinda dumb, like basically a zombie story except with humanoid flies?

“The same thing happened with M. Night Shyamalan,” he continues. “He cast [The Last Airbender] with non-Asians and it’s an Asian story, and the film flopped.
yeah i'm sure that's why the film flopped dummy
It led to a lot of the fans rejecting the movie, which for a "unknown" property to everyday moviegoers (at least when compared to Batman or TMNT, or something) meant that there wasn't an existing audience to hype up the movie themselves. How much impact that had on the box office is of course questionable, especially since that movie had so, so many other things going against it, but I think it may have contributed a small part in its failure, maybe.

There's gonna be a comic sequel to David Cronenburg's The Fly (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/12/19/idw-publish-fly-outbreak/) (ignoring that shitty sequel that already exists, of course). Sounds like it could be an interesting concept but it also sounds kinda dumb, like basically a zombie story except with humanoid flies?

That's funny haha. That made me think of the comic I read some months back on The Big trouble in little china movie "comic sequel". Basically the comic continues how the movie ended with the monster hitching a ride. It actually became Jack Burton's protecting killer pet since he killed its master. So now the beast is forever his to command...Another evil wizard connected with lo pan is now the threat. Anyway it was a pretty amusing read...


As for the new star wars:

Bruce Campbell talks about the Evil Dead TV series (http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/12/22/evil-dead-bruce-campbell-interview/)

That Pee Wee movie is being exclusively distributed by Netflix. (http://www.thewrap.com/pee-wee-herman-movie-produced-by-judd-apatow-heading-to-netflix-exclusive/)

And Star Trek 3 has its new director: Justin Lin, of the Fast and Furious movies (http://www.nerdist.com/2014/12/fast-furiouss-justin-lin-will-direct-star-trek-3/). Good pick action-wise, but I don't really get the sense that he'd be the type to help shepherd the creative direction out of the dreck and morass of Into Darkness. Much like Abrams, his movie will depend on the quality of its screenwriter.

bloviating, idiotic asshole Rush Limbaugh is absolutely outraged by this suggestion (http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/rush-limbaugh-james-bond-cant-be-black-like-idris-elba/ar-BBhacPu?ocid=ansGossipCop11), noting that "Ian Fleming never created a black Brit to play James Bond. The character was always white. He was always Scottish.”

... which is not true. It gives me great delight to "umm, actually" this douche: for the majority of the Fleming books, James Bond was not Scottish, at all, just English. Fleming retconned in his being Scottish after the first Sean Connery Bond movie came out, and to date, Connery has been the only Scottish Bond!

To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing Idris Elba as James Bond. It would be a huge breath of fresh air.

No one said he couldn't be a black man, right? Plus, the newest one is an original story (I'm not well versed in the Bond mythos so if anyone can help me here, thanks in advance).

Post by: Speedpreacher on December 27, 2014, 05:51:42 pm
Bond's been divorced from the books since Goldfinger, if you want the truth of it. And as that's one of the best Bond films of all time it's been to his benefit (although I wouldn't mind Bond's half-Japanese son running around). If Moneypenny can be a field agent and Q can be a hipster, Bond can certainly be black. The only thing that should matter is Bond is a cold killer and a suave lover. People can pass it off with the code name theory if they feel raw about it, the rest of us can enjoy the continued adventures of a fictional character as played by a different actor.

Akira is definitely something that just can't work if it's moved out of Japan; the story is fundamentally informed by the whole nuke thing (haha what shitty, simplistic way to refer to all of that stuff, jesus christ sorry)

but uh yeah, Ghost in the Shell is definitely one of the easiest of the super popular anime franchises to Westernize; I can't really think of anything in the story that depends on or requires the story to be set in any one particular place or anything. Hopefully they'll have a good amount of roles for actual Asian people, because they've got horrificlly slim pickings acting-wise as it is.

Oscar nominations are out (https://thedissolve.com/news/4472-oscar-nominations-turn-golden-eye-on-xx-xxx-and-xx/), and like every year there's some great, surprising picks (Marion Cotillard for best actress!), and utterly baffling ones.

Like there only being 8 best picture nods, out of a possible 10 (it's because of really dumb, complicated voting rules that can force out movies that would otherwise get in, for not having enough votes in comparison to the other nominees, for some reason). So no Gone Girl, Nightcrawler, or Foxcatcher, but don't worry, we've got two, count 'em two aggressively mediocre, bog-standard, Oscarbait-y as shit biopics!  And Ava DuVernay didn't get a nod for best director, and The Lego Movie didn't get a nod for best animated picture?

Boyhood looks like it's got a lock for best picture and probably director too, and I have absolutely no problems with that. Keaton will probably win for best actor, though. I just hope Birdman doesn't win for writing because boy oh boy was that not a great script and there's much, much stronger entries.

It involves the Court, but doesn't focus on them, they're like a secondary character. So no, they don't feature in the title.

I really hope Wolverine is a minor character at best in the next one, his role in Days of Future Past worked but they seriously need to be able to explore characters who are not Wolverine, Professor X, or Magneto!

Gotham has been renewed for a second season (https://twitter.com/Gotham/status/556513826288304129), which will no doubt be filled with heavy handed references to the future.

Louie returns on April 9th. (http://www.avclub.com/article/fx-sets-return-date-louie-gives-pamela-adlon-her-o-214044) Also Pamela Adlon is getting her own show (!) with a pilot being cowritten by Adlon and Louis C.K., and also directed by the latter. Great news!

A Fables movie is still being worked on (http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2015/01/16/harry-potter-producer-david-heyman-works-his-magic-on-paddington/); Jane Goldman (Stardust, X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass) is currently working on the script. I think it would work way better as a TV show, and the potential pitfalls of bloating it up to a blockbuster movie are slightly worrisome. Hopefully it all turns out well.

Nicolas Cage is joining with the director of Borat (http://www.avclub.com/article/nicolas-cage-joins-borat-director-osama-bin-laden--214162) in a semi-scripted comedy about Osama bin Laden, based on a semi-true story. And no that was not a random assemblage of words, that's all true, and it's amazing.

the creator of Gotham gave an interview about his show, and boy oh boy was it terrible: (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=58645)
the big news item was that the Red Hood (the costumed supervillain who fell into a tank of acid and became the Joker) will appear in this season. Which is dumb but about the same level of dumb as Gotham usually is.

no, what was really dumb was this part where he outlined why Gotham will remain "costume-free" for the time being, explaining:
Quote
Because -- I can't remember where I read it -- the reason that the comic book characters wore costumes is because in the very rough printing that they used to have in newspapers, that's the only way you could make a character pop. "Oh, that's Batman, that's Superman, that's Dick Tracy." On TV, you don't need that same color and signature to make people pop. It's the characters that pop. So we're never going to be a full-on costume drama. We're going to be a full-on character drama. Like Batman, there's the super powers, super will, and there's super strength, but only on a human level. Not on a supernatural level. It's very important, again, for the longevity of the show, that we take this step by step.
which is so dumb and so wrong that my brain exploded, I am dead now, RIP Jmorphman.

Wait wait wait. Rob Riggle is Frank West?

That's incredible casting right there.

Simon Pegg is co-writing Star Trek 3. (http://deadline.com/2015/01/star-trek-3-simon-pegg-1201355170/) Wow, this is really shaping up to have a good amount of potential!

Milestone Media has risen from the ashes, (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2015/01/21/exclusive-milestone-media-rises-again-hudlin-cowan-and-dingle-will-revive-company-with-eye-toward-characters-of-color/) with all of the original staff on board (sans the late, great Dwayne McDuffie). I'm not really sure how this is all going to work out (because the Milestone characters were merged with the DC universe a while back, and DC has been trying to put a live action Static Shock series together for a while), but hopefully things go well!

Meet the new Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey (http://uproxx.com/gammasquad/2015/01/x-men-apocalypse-has-cast-its-jean-grey-storm-and-cyclops/) (who seriously needs a real codename)

Amidst a whole bunch of (rumored) behind the scenes turmoil, and little to no promotion for a movie that's due out in less than 8 months, the first real, official Fantastic Four stuff is starting to come out. (http://collider.com/the-fantastic-four-movie-details-josh-trank/)
(http://i.imgur.com/M36QWr8.jpg)
yeah, that's the costumes they're going with.

but oh, there's more. So much more. I have such sights to show you.
Quote
COLLIDER: The film is heavily influenced by David Cronenberg and Trank mentioned that Scanners and The Fly were big influences on the look of the film.
Quote
COLLIDER: In a marketplace that’s crowded with superhero movies, what sets this film apart?

TRANK: I would say that the science fiction of it is a big thing that sets it apart from most of the other superhero genre films.  I’m a huge David Cronenberg fan, and I always viewed Fantastic Four and the kind of weirdness that happens to these characters and how they’re transformed to really fall in line more with a Cronenberg-ian science fiction tale of something horrible happening to your body and [it] transforming out of control.  And the potential for a hard sci-fi take on that material makes me really excited.
again, this is a movie about the Fantastic Four.

Quote
COLLIDER: Did you guys look at any specific runs of the comics to pull from?

KINBERG: Yeah, I think The Ultimates is probably our biggest influence because it’s the younger Fantastic Four.  And a lot of the science specifics are there.
Again. I really cannot stress this enough. This is, as stated earlier, a movie about the Fantastic Four. For those unaware, The Ultimates is a very dated, very "edgy" update of the Avengers from the early 2000s that has aged very poorly.

OK fine I'm being mean, Kinberg obviously misspoke and was referring not to The Ultimates, but Ultimate Fantastic Four, which similarly was an updated version of Fantastic Four that I'm gonna just go ahead and say outright was pretty shitty. Except for maybe the Mike Carey run, that was pretty cool. But still, pretty bad series, as a whole.

Quote
TRANK: I would just like to add that there’s a big difference between adapting the tone of something or adapting the spirit.  In this case we’re adapting the spirit of the characters as they stem all the way back to the original characters in the 60’s.  These characters are iconic archetypes that are as timeless and flexible as you could ever hope for in terms of modernizing and updating a story.  If you look at Shakespeare’s works, these are all stories that can be modernized because you’re dealing with archetypes.
ugh

Quote
COLLIDER: So you’re basically, from what I’m gathering, just to be clear, you’re going for a realistic horror/sci-fi movie.  This takes place in the real world?  What if this really happened to people?  The horror that can come with some of these abilities.

TRANK:  Absolutely.
casual reminder: this is still about that Fantastic Four movie

Overall the interview feels very very damage control-y and nothing really sounds right, whether it be the explanations as to why there's absolutely no problems in the production, honest, or all the dumb changes they've made in order to update the concept, like turning a fundamentally optimistic story of explorers of the unknown who are given incredible abilities who sometimes squabble and feel down into one that turns them into a bunch of depressed victims who are dealing with a disability, and also Dr. Doom is a hacker now.

also they got Philip freaking Glass to score this. Philip fucking Glass! How the fuck is that even possible!?!?!?!

I will stick with Fantastic 4 (2005) and Fantastic 4: The rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).
At least they kinda look like the Fantastic 4, Chris Evans is really hot as Johnny Storm and Michael Chiklis did a good job as The Thing.
They are campy and silly films, but at least they don't take themselves seriously, and they are a guilty pleasure of mine.

Yeah I dunno that doesn't really seem like a great fit, and I say this as a fan of both Chris Pratt and Indiana Jones.

Well that FF trailer wasn't as terrible as I was expecting, just incredibly boring.

If anything, the Fantastic Four series is the one in need for some new interesting spins, lame ass boring superhero team.
It will be a bad Fantastic Four movie, like anything related to the Fantastic Four, so why does it matter if they keep things realistic or not? It would've sucked either way :)
I'm sure there's at least ONE good depiction of the Fantastic Four (Which probably lasted for one whole issue because comic book fans have horrible taste and rather keep eating the other more boring versions of the F4) but that doesn't mean they don't suck balls all around.
I don't know why you guys are so disappointed about this movie. What were you expecting exactly? It's as shitty as the series itself, you can't do better than this!

An offical cookbook for Bob's Burgers is coming out! (http://www.avclub.com/article/official-bobs-burgers-cookbook-coming-214477)

More casting news for the Wet Hot American Summer: Chris Pine, Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Schwartzman will all appear in the 8 episode prequel miniseries. (http://www.avclub.com/article/original-cast-returns-wet-hot-american-summer-seri-213670) Additionally, Michaela Watkins, John Slattery, Josh Charles, Randall Park, Jayma Mays, Lake Bell, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel and Richard Schiff will be guest starring. They've got so many amazing people in this, I just can't take it. I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwQzEVJ1zj4)

You won't find many more. I rarely talk about F4 and when I do, I do it because I want to talk about something that will help me sleep in that particular moment :) but hey! What can I do but wait for an actual good F4 run? Although I guess Marvel is trying to kill the interest in the series until they get the rights back from Fox so it's a matter of time :)
well boy oh boy, I sure am glad that literally one person is getting some tiny shred of usefulness out of them

Rose Byrne will return as Moira MacTaggert for X-Men: Apocalypse (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/30/x-men-apocalypse-rose-byrne-returning-moira-mactaggert-exclusive). That's good news because Rose Byrne is so, so awesome. Also screenwriter Simon Kinsberg also teased that Dazzler, the mutant disco queen might appear because the 80s!!!

J.K. Simmons says there's a "possibility" that he might be asked to reprise his role as J. Jonah Jameson (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/CBMNewsLMB10/news/?a=114599), which he would very much like to do. Hopefully that's for a Marvel Studios production because hey January is over and Sony's Spider-Man summit was this month and I want answers dammit!

Casting rumors for Star Trek 3: This Is Actually The 13th Star Trek Movie. (http://www.filmdivider.com/8704/the-characters-of-star-trek-3-from-lots-of-new-women-to-a-bryan-cranston-villain/) They're apparently looking for 3 actresses for the roles of: president of the Federation, a female Captain that is being set up as "Kirk's match", and McCoy's ex-wife maybe. They want a "Bryan Cranston-type" for the villain, and have actually maybe had some discussions with Cranston about the role.

it sounds pretty cool, I really hope this movie works out and doesn't suck like Into Darkness!

The TNT Teen Titans roster has been leaked (maybe) (http://www.nerdist.com/vepisode/exclusive-which-dc-characters-will-be-on-tnts-the-titans/):


Missing from the lineup are Titan stalwarts like Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, and more notably, Changeling/Beast Boy and Cyborg. The former two's absence makes sense, they're sidekicks and there's already two on the roster already, and who even knows whether this show is gonna be in continuity with anything.

Beast Boy's powerset seems undoable for a TV show (morphing FX, gotta have all sorts of animals and assorted trainers on set, etc), unless it was changed from straight up "turn into any animal" to something more subdued, like "gain aspects of animals", or something.

And Cyborg, well, DC wants him in the Justice League and that means he can never go back to his real friends.

Post by: Speedpreacher on February 03, 2015, 06:13:04 am
I really wish they'd have found some way to do Beast Boy. Maybe if it gets a second season...

And that's shades of the Bat-Embargo with Cyborg. I don't like it. They could do him pretty well on a TV budget and it would balance out the cast a little more.

I feel the exact same. he felt like a token add to begin with, they could have just elevated the titans (like they were doing before the reboot, with a lot of them running around as the justice league) He fits way more natural with the titans than the league where he feels almost like the shazam of the team imo.

I like barbara in she's basically going to be the show's "felicity" to Dick's "Ollie". Hawk and Dove make no sense at all to me, I don't really get this other than to prop up less popular DC characters. Raven and starfire I approve of, but this feels like the Dick grayson dating show.

yeah I dunno I've been cold on most of the Arrow/Flash costumes and this is no different. It just looks... kinda dumb and ashamed it's a superhero costume?

Well, Hawk and Dove are pretty well established as Titans, they were actually some of the earliest people to join, after the big 5. A problem with a lot of the stalwarts is that they're sidekicks or legacy heroes and whatnot (it is, after all, the superhero team for sidekicks), and that's hard to manage for a pilot to a series that doesn't seem like it's connected to any other live action superhero property. I honestly am having trouble thinking of people whose powers can be done on a TV budget, who don't need a ton of backstory when introduced, and who shouldn't be saved for a later date when the series has set things up for them (like, say, Terra), besides maybe Bumblebee, Mal Duncan (does he even count?), and maybe some of the newer members like Bunker?

But yeah I think pretty much ever incarnation of Hawk and Dove has been pretty lame!

is this news? not really, but shut up it should be:
Nicolas Cage praised Hayden Christensen's performance as Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels (http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/nicolas-cage-praises-hayden-christensens-edgy-dark-soulful-performance-in-the-star-wars-prequels-20150203)?!?!?!?!?

Honestly, a TV show that doesn't run as long as a comic book doesn't really need several variations of the same character archetype, unless someone really starts planning for years ahead and wants to have three Flashes running along. It doesn't bother me if Wally and Barry get mixed up.
Do note that obviously I mean that for a live action TV show. It just doesn't work the same as a comic book (or even an animated series that can do time skips and such without any problem).

(edit : or at the very best, a live action TV show that doesn't start with an "origin" arc for several seasons but jumps straight in its own thing, might have two Flashes or three Robins together, but that's not happening anytime soon)

Warner Bros has recommitted itself to making a Robotech movie (eying the screenwriter of 300 G.I.

(http://www.avclub.com/article/hollywood-take-another-shot-robotech-and-astro-boy-214818)

Doesn't Harmony Gold still claim to have the rights to Macross? Somehow? They can't seriously be trying to make a movie about the non-Macross parts of Robotech that no one cares about, right? Or do they think they can manage to get the Macross stuff, somehow?

wally is supposed to show up at some point in the future, based on the current new 52 version, which is half the reason the west's are black on the tv show. Which means pre 52 wally is gone entirely now anyway :/

the charges were dropped, he was acting in self-defense. The guy who died was Medina's roommate, and there was some kind of argument that escalated in the roommate attacking Medina and his girlfriend, and then breaking into a room they had locked themselves in (after which Medina stabbed him with the sword).

it's a tragic situation to be sure, but it looks to be a pretty clear cut case of self-defense

I'd like to see Diggle become Stewart, his portrayal is good and it would fit. I'm just curious about the whole CG thing - it's working well in Flash but Green Lantern is a whole other story in content and scale.

Brooks recently appeared on Adam Carolla’s Take a Knee podcast and when Carolla asked Brooks if the director would like to create another big movie, Brooks didn’t say no. The game of internet telephone has, as per usual, exaggerated Brooks’ statements, but Splitsider has a transcription of the Spaceballs 2 highlights from the pay-to-listen podcast:

“Maybe I could do another musical, maybe I could do another movie. I was thinking about Spaceballs the other day. In Spaceballs, in the movie, Bill Pullman says to me, Yogurt, just plain Yogurt, he says ‘Do you think we’ll ever meet again?’ and I [Yogurt] say ‘Well, I don’t know…maybe in Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.’ And I’m thinking now, if I did a movie that came out right after Star Wars comes out — maybe a couple of months later — I’d have a big weekend, you know? No matter what, even if it fell on its ass and didn’t get its money back…but that first weekend, the anticipation of seeing Spaceballs 2, would…I still have Daphne Zuniga and I still have Rick Moranis if he’d do it, and I’ve still got me.”

Yeah, I dunno about that. Joan Rivers and John Candy are dead, Rick Moranis has been retired from acting for decades (and I doubt this is the project that would coax him out of retirement), and Mel Brooks hasn't directed a movie in nearly 2 decades. I love Mel Brooks, but I just don't think it would be a super great idea. :-\

and speaking of Mel Brooks, Blazing Saddles is going to be loosely remade into a family-friendly cartoon, named Blazing Samurai: (http://thedissolve.com/news/4720-blazing-saddles-to-be-very-loosely-remade-as-famil/)

Doubtful; Nintendo is in a much stronger position to safeguard their IP. That's of course no guarantee of how the show will turn out, but it will ensure that the people making the show can't go as far off as the Mario Bros movie people did.

But cartoon Stewart was super boring and bland so all this recognition only tells us that it's a bad character, while Jordan was there in the cartoons too, and it's made known often that he was there first.
JLU ran long and was more visible in the long run than both the Green Lantern movie and the subsequent Hal Jordan-starring cartoon. Hal Jordan is much more well known now of course, but John Stewart is probably still more overall known as Green Lantern

also cartoon John was great! he was sarcastic, sardonic, and overly serious! and the Green Lantern/Hawkgirl relationship was aces!

Arrow :
the actors for Quentin and Laurel Lance are damn good. I liked the guy who does Quentin since season 1, but Laurel's role has been stuck in dumb shit angst for a while - until that scene. Also now we've got a pretty good setup for several heroes - Black Canary being in a good spot too.

Quentin has been a good character since season 2, I'm glad Laurel finally has some kind of actual reason for being in the show, I wish they would just drop the "Laurel" part and call her Dinah already...

I'm really glad that dj character got killed, damn he was annoying.

Isn't Dinah the mother's name ? I'm pretty sure I heard them trying to call Laurel "Laurel Dinah Lance" in this episode or the last one (already forgot which one), but I don't see how they'll handwave the mother being called Dinah already.
Ditto on the DJ. And I was really wary of Laurel going Canary too easily, but this episode along with the "rise of heroes" last week are making it work. Really hope we'll see Wildcat again, he got his nuts stomped too easily. The show managed to set up a good reason for showing several "street-level heroes" at once.

They state her full name as Dinah Laurel Lance, which is Black Canary's full name. But they've already been calling her Laurel so long that there's no chance of it changing now unless she has to fake her death or something. Looking forward to next week and the return of Slade (and to the island).

Ah, I see. Then I'm pretty sure that they're still paying their mistakes from the beginning of season 1 where they tried to make everything "super realistic" by cropping the odd name and giving her a "normal" name and simply making jokes about "making her voice heard loud and clear", then by season 2 they decided to embrace it but already missed the train so the sister became Canary and the mother was named Dinah, and now that they want to embrace it even further, they already have a total mess to tiptoe out of :P Same with giving Thea the nickname Speedy (like Green Arrow's sidekick, wink wink nudge nudge but we're keeping it realistic guys seriously), which they brought back just now too for some reason.
edit : or I don't know much about her in the comics, apparently her mother is also named Dinah there ? Is that right ? That sounds really weird.

What you're basically looking at is that Black Canary, like the Flash and the Green Lantern, was a legacy character from the 40s. The original Black Canary was named Dinah Lance, and in the 60s when they wanted to reuse the character they made it her daughter, Dinah Laurel - who wore a blond wig to emulate her mother (which is why in the show Sara, who was already blond and didn't need a wig in the first place was wearing a wig, simply so she could pass that on to Laurel). 

Basically, Dinah's named Dinah because her mother's named Dinah and comics can be kind of lazy sometimes.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on February 14, 2015, 05:56:40 am
Oh man, if that gave you a headache, then you don't even want to know what the Bronze Age explanation was (but I'm gonna do it anyway). The mother and daughter sharing a name is the simple explanation!!!

Back during one of the Justice League/Justice Society crossovers, Black Canary (who lived in the Earth-2 dimension, with the Justice Society and the heroes of WWII) was horrified when her husband sacrificed his life to save her from a bolt of energy thrown by the villain. In grief, she decided to go over to Earth-1 (with the Justice League and all the modern heroes), to make a new start. Shortly thereafter, she developed the power to emit a sonic scream. Simple, right? You've got a new member of the Justice League who's about 20 years older than the everyone else, but everything works out...

until a decade or two later, when people started to realize that Black Canary should be in her 50's by then (because all the Earth-2 heroes are tied to WWII, they necessarily get older each year, unlike the sliding timeline of Earth-1), growing more and more out of synch with her teammates year by year, and so the writer of Justice League at the time decided to fix that: it was revealed that Black Canary and her husband once had a daughter, but she was born with an uncontrollable sonic scream due to a supervillain's curse or something. They asked for help from fellow Justice Society member Johnny Thunder, and his 5th dimensional genie Yz. The only solution they could manage was to put her in a limbo dimension, where she remained in stasis, though she aged normally. And then Yz changed the memories of Black Canary and her husband's to make themselves believe their daugher had died, to spare themselves the torment and grief.

Furthermore, it was also revealed that during the aforementioned League/Society crossover, when Black Canary's husband shielded her from the energy blast, Black Canary was still hit by some of the residual radiation and was slowly dying. She wanted to see her daughter before she died (because the shock made her remember or something?), so Superman and the Spectre took her to the limbo dimension. When they arrived, an idea was formed: using the Spectre's magic, the mind of the dying Black Canary was either swapped with or merged with her daughter (it's super unclear which, but either way, it's creepy) and voila, a new young Black Canary was born (with a sonic scream that could be controlled)! Black Canary is her own daughter! That wasn't weird or stupid and complicated at all!

Naturally that was retconned out during Crisis, and replaced with something much simpler: the Golden Age Canary is the mom, the modern one is her daughter, the end. (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2011/12/27/the-abandoned-an-forsaked-the-earth-2-black-canary/)

edit : or I don't know much about her in the comics, apparently her mother is also named Dinah there ? Is that right ? That sounds really weird.
The first Black Canary was named Dinah Drake (later taking her husband's name, Lance), her daughter is Dinah Laurel Lance. I guess people don't really put "Jr." after women's names so it really does seem kinda weird, but while it's not something that's super common, I do know of a few mothers and daughters who share the same name.

to bring this back around to something relevant to DC: Barbara Gordon also has the same name as her mom.

The original Black Canary was named Dinah Lance, and in the 60s when they wanted to reuse the character they made it her daughter, Dinah Laurel - who wore a blond wig to emulate her mother
Wait, didn't the first Canary wear a wig too? It was the only thing really disguising her identity!
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Speedpreacher on February 14, 2015, 06:32:20 am
Yeah you're right, the mom wore a wig too. So the wig being passed down fits as well.

I have also discovered that the current comics Black Canary is Dinah Drake and am now even more confused about nu52 continuity

(http://deadline.com/2015/02/marion-cotillard-assassins-creed-michael-fassbender-ubisoft-macbeth-1201373027/) Cotillard and Fassbender, damn, that is a ridiculously impressive cast for anything and especially for something like this (which, let's be honest here, is a supremely silly franchise).

Gina Carano will be playing Angel Dust (a somewhat obscure X-Men character) in the Deadpool movie. (http://edit.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/gina-carano-joins-ryan-reynolds-773247) Also Colossus might be appearing, maybe?

I'm pretty sure it's just a red herring, or they'll leave it ambiguous. Next week's episode is dealing with the Red Hood gang, though. I'm hoping they go full fishbowl, although it's probably going to end up being hoodies or something. The show's got a Smallville-esque obsession with skirting as close to costumed villains as possible without actually having costumes.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on February 15, 2015, 12:57:16 am
I think they explicitly said there would be no cape and costume.
Gotham's a decent show, but not a great show. After all this time it still can't stop itself from going all LOOK WE HAVE THIS GUY AND THAT GUY more than "what these guys were before turning supervillains", with a few exceptions. The second Crane episode was great (the first wasn't at all), and there's a few actors who are making a killing - the Penguin guy, Alfred, Gordon's been trying but he's not quite there, Bullock isn't too far and has his moments but he's not doing much... The Penguin/Nigma encounter was set up as a huge comical moment when they were glaring at each other, but then they actually talked and the dialog ruined it because it was super lame. Like, what the hell was that.
Writing-wise, Penguin again is really great - he's clawing his way up, being smart and vicious and focused on his objective, but then he fucks up big time and has to literally grovel on his knees like a bitch (while still trying to stab you in the foot with a fork if he can), that's the only character that's really written like "this guy's life before turning supervillain". I don't understand why the writers aren't doing more of that, clearly they know how to do it, they just won't.
Fish is on the same range as Penguin in writing and acting but try as she might, she's more like a bystander in the supervillain show who's trying real hard to get a spot. It's like there's one side for all the obvious supervillains, and one side for the mafia gangs. Clearly the story revolves around the latter and has some great actors (Dexter's Angel Batista as Maroni is another great role), yet the writers insist on shoving the obvious supervillains, taking away from the actual storyline (the Waynes murder, guys, remember ?? We still don't know what it was for, and what it triggered, and no one cares !). The Arkham arc should have propelled the plot forward since it was one of the important pieces of land involved in that murder and the gang war, but oh look supervillain hijack.
It's a real tragedy. It's not like they haven't been told several times that Penguin is the best character and actor on the whole thing...

Post by: Speedpreacher on February 15, 2015, 01:09:54 am
It can get really frustrating because there's a really compelling level of drama and power struggle going on at times, and Bruce's story has some real great moments in it (like last episode, which I thought was going to be LOL BATCAVE but turned out to be about him learning to survive on his own). They figured out the Barbara storyline wasn't quite working and downplayed it, which is good, but I hope they'll figure out the rest by next season.

Turning Lucifer, a series exploring religion and mythology in a vast, dimension-spanning tale, into another fucking police procedural has got to be one of the worst, most dumb-headed ideas in the universe. It is fundamentally flawed as a concept, at least a concept that purports to be any kind of adaptation of the Lucifer character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman and Mike Carey's Lucifer. Like, at the most basic, underlying level: why the fuck would Lucifer team up with the police and solve crimes? At all? Ever? A character who is defined by (besides the whole hating God thing, of course) his vehement indifference bordering on hatred towards humanity and its society? A character who hates being put into any sort of subordinate relationship, and indeed spends his entire series trying to escape that?

also Bleeding Cool got a look at the pilot script and it is even worse than I could possibly imagine: (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/02/09/ive-just-read-lucifer-pilot-cop-show-cute-kid/) (this is what Speedpreacher was talking about)

The first half of season 1 was a train wreck right from the start, but it completely turned around with season 2 (I myself say it realized its mistake halfway into season 1 and scrambled to hold the pieces, but most people say season 2) and it carried into both season 3 and Flash.

Constantine was a really solid show that was on the wrong network entirely. It's really a shame because it would have killed it on a network that would have given it a little more bite, even with less budget for FX.[

To be honest the only places I've seen that talk about Gotham with anything other than outright hostility (because it's so bad) is here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also new Mad Max: Fury Road trailer, which somehow looks more insane than the last trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWNWi-ZWL3c)

Yeah that Trailer is actually on the Dracula Untold Blu Ray I have. Trailer blew me away also :thumbsup:

Seems like every trailer they put out they get Tom Hardy to retake that fire and blood line to sound more Australian.

Also NRS staff have been signal boosting this movie on twitter. Possible MKX guest character?

This news is too good to bury, so we’re coming right out with it: An all-new DuckTales series is coming to Disney XD in 2017! The Emmy Award-winning series from the late ‘80s/early ‘90s is absolutely treasured by our generation, and we are so excited that “every day they’re out there making DuckTales” again. When Marc Buhaj—Senior Vice President, Programming and General Manager, Disney XD—made the announcement, he said, “DuckTales has a special place in Disney’s TV animation history, it drew its inspiration from Disney Legend Carl Barks’ comic books and through its storytelling and artistic showmanship, set an enduring standard for animated entertainment that connects with both kids and adults. Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation.”

SEX CRIMINALS TV SHOW?!?!?! (http://deadline.com/2015/02/matt-fraction-kelly-sue-deconnick-deal-universal-tv-sex-criminals-comic-series-1201380723/) It's happening! Sex Criminals is an amazing comic book series by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky (pictured (http://i.imgur.com/D9PdaAl.jpg)) about a couple who discovers that their orgasms can freeze time. They then decide to rob a bank. It's great!

but I gotta say I am pretty surprised because this comic is SUPER SUPER explicit and pretty much only the HBO type cable channels could come close to airing anything like it, and why make a neutered version anyway? The world must be able to experience brimping, Three-Second Rule Taco, and E.T. The Sex Move (Google at your own peril, it's gonna be pretty NSFW)!

Now for some bad news: there's gonna be a Tomb Raider (movie) reboot and the writer just got announced: Evan Daugherty (http://deadline.com/2015/02/tomb-raider-evan-daugherty-warner-bros-mgm-reboot-1201381386/), whose recent work includes TMNT 2014, Snow White and the Huntsman, and the upcoming G.I. Joe 3. Ooof.

Neill Blomkamp talks the about Alien sequel he's doing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th8os-IfZhg); the main takeaway is that it will apparently be ignoring the last two Alien movies and just be a direct sequel to Aliens, maybe? Probably the best choice, I guess. And don't you Alien 3 defenders come in here complaining because I will cut you, that movie had promise and both the theatrical cut and the assembly cut had a lot of good stuff, but c'mon. No.

Sure, they lost a whole lot of good material in development hell, but still.

Anyway, it will sadly be for the best, as Alien 3 had Hicks killed right of. We need the sequel to Aliens to have Hicks.

I'm totally fine with Ridley dying in a blaze of glory to keep the xenomorphs out of Weyland Yutani's hands, that all works. But man, killing off Hicks and Newt, offscreen, and then bringing Bishop back for a quick cameo just to murder him too... it's just too much, it robs Ridley's victory and emotional catharsis from Aliens, and all needlessly so.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Bea on February 26, 2015, 10:49:47 am
Yeah, I hated that too. Film had such a great potential but killing off those characters offscreen was too wrong and hurt the film badly.

Which is why I was all giddy when Blomkamp artwork surfaced and showed Hicks alive.
This will likely be the film that Alien 3 was meant to be.

Quote
Oh my glob! Mathematical! Bacon pancakes! No, we’re not having a stroke, we’re referencing Adventure Time—the popular kids TV show that is secretly for adults (but it’s barely a secret). And we’re not just referencing Adventure Time because everyone on the Internet constantly references Adventure Time, but because Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network have announced that they’re making an Adventure Time movie. Like, a real movie. It’ll be in theaters and everything. We’ll give you a minute to calm down.

Are you OK? Good. This comes from Deadline, which reports that the Adventure Time movie will be produced by Chris McKay and Roy Lee, both of whom previously worked together on another big-screen kids’ movie that was also adult-friendly: The Lego Movie. McKay has also been announced as the director for Lego Batman, and Lee is producing that spinoff, so it seems clear that WB is hoping for Adventure Time to be as much of a hit as The Lego Movie was. Deadline even points out how much “franchise potential” it has, which is the sort of corporate language that seems especially inappropriate when talking about something as delightfully weird as Adventure Time.

Well, yeah, but I've seen a fair amount of people and even a site or two take it seriously.

ok yet another Blomkamp Alien news piece (http://screenrant.com/neil-blomkamp-alien-5-continuity-elysium-problems/), and I'm just gonna quote here
Quote
“My favorites are the first two movies. So I want to make a film that’s connected to ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens.’ That’s my goal. I’m not trying to undo ‘Alien 3′ or ‘Alien Resurrection,’ I just wanted it to be connected to ‘Alien 1′ and ’2.’ “
so, basically sounds like a sequel to Aliens, ignoring the other two, but Blomkamp is couching it in a way that doesn't mean they're worthless garbage.

also is MacGruber 2 happening?!?!?! (http://www.avclub.com/article/macgruber-2-not-only-happening-it-might-have-alrea-215893) No, probably not; or at least not yet, though a whole bunch of news sites sure seemed to think so. Maybe one day. :(

The more I hear about it the worse and worse it sounds, which is pretty impressive considering it has the directors of Cap 2, the writer of Iron Man 3, and the possiblity of Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum as the stars. There's all the talk about branding (http://deadline.com/2015/03/ghostbusters-channing-tatum-joe-and-anthony-russo-drew-pearce-ivan-reitman-dan-aykroyd-1201388917/), trying to reverse engineer a cinematic universe because it worked out well for Marvel, and also Dan Aykroyd is apparently going to be using parts from that Ghostbusters 3 script of his for this (http://www.classicalite.com/articles/18926/20150316/paul-feig-talks-new-male-ghostbusters-3-marvel-crossover-reboot.htm), the script that was so bad that Bill Murray refuses to participate in it.

We were so close, a brand new Ghostbusters that would be a fresh start, but now we've got a bolted-on cinematic franchise and Ghostbusters 3 out of it. Like someone wished on a monkey's paw or something.

A new Star Trek TV show is in the works (http://www.latino-review.com/news/star-trek-exclusive-trek-is-going-to-return-to-tv), which is great news. Can we somehow clone Bryan Fuller so one of them can continue doing Hannibal and the other can do that Star Trek pitch he had from a few years ago?

and now, after two cool news thingys, here's this: Transformers is getting its own cinematic universe, (http://deadline.com/2015/03/transformers-akiva-goldsman-paramount-sequels-spinoffs-1201400027/) comprised of muti-part sequels, prequels, and spinoff movies.

So Cristolph Waltz is playing Blofeld, right? Because he seems to be playing Blofeld. I hope they don't spend the whole movie doing that thing where he has a different name and then they do the big reveal like halfway through the movie because the writers think they're just ever so clever.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on March 28, 2015, 01:50:43 am
Yep yep yep; as cool as it would be to have Christoph Waltz as Bloefeld, I think I'd rather they just have him be the son of Bond's ski instructor (or whatever his character description was again) who has risen up in the ranks of SPECTRE and is the main villain, and then they show the real Bloefeld at the very end or something. Or they could drop the pretense that he's not Bloefeld entirely!

also I got worried for a bit when the "secret from Bond's past" turned out to be something from the ruins of Skyfall, and not something relating to QUANTUM. I had remembered reading somewhere that the announcement that the actor who played Mr. White was returning for SPECTRE was maybe fake, but I just checked and it turns out he's already finished his scenes. So yeah, they're definitely gonna wrap up the Quantum stuff!

Daniel Craig's Bond 1 (Casino Royale) and 2 (Quantum of Solace) were supposed to be a thing, a plot that never fully came to fruition as something solid and worthy.

Watch Skyfall, it ties directly in to Spectre, and it feels self contained enough to make sense on its own.

If you have the time, watch Casino Royale. That's the Batman Begins of this Bond saga, and it's great as a standalone film
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on April 02, 2015, 07:20:27 pm
All of the Daniel Craig movies (only three so far, so it's easy peasy); from the trailer, it looks like it picks up pretty much directly after Skyfall, but they are going to be wrapping up some previously discarded plot elements from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

well I guess you could probably skip Quantum maybe? I've heard it's improved immensely if watched back to back with Casino Royale, though.

EDIT: goddamn ninjas

ok so, Skyfall ignored the story they had been building in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace  (involving a criminal organization named Quantum) because it was the 50th anniversary movie and Quantum of Solace was not that good and they just wanted to take a break from all that. But, SPECTRE is definitely going to be wrapping up the Quantum plot, while also following up things from Skyfall. So I would definitely recommend watching all three, or at least Casino and Skyfall.

A while back, Paul F. Tompkins tweeted a photo of himself and a bunch of Mr. Show with Bob and David writers/performers, along with the titular Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, apparently working on a project. What exactly that project was remained unknown, until now...

it's basically a revival (but with a different name) on Netflix (http://deadline.com/2015/04/bob-odenkirk-david-cross-sketch-comedy-series-netflix-1201403256/), for 4 episodes. Awesome news!

also Disney is going to do a live action version of Winnie the Pooh but this time it's Christopher Robin as an adult going back to the Hundred Acre Woods and like (http://deadline.com/2015/04/winnie-the-pooh-disney-live-action-feature-alex-ross-perry-1201392427/) :-\ :-\ :-\

I can vouch for Quantum of Solace only being worth watching double-billed with Casino. It's still not a great movie, but it's such a direct sequel that any gap between watching the two is a detriment to how much you'll be able to follow it.


also Disney is going to do a live action version of Winnie the Pooh but this time it's Christopher Robin as an adult going back to the Hundred Acre Woods and like (http://deadline.com/2015/04/winnie-the-pooh-disney-live-action-feature-alex-ross-perry-1201392427/) :-\ :-\ :-\

Barring how depressed the notion of adult Christopher Robin makes me with what happened to the real one, Winnie the Pooh by way of Ted sounds dreadful.

The Muppet Show is being a revived by ABC (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/muppets-revived-at-abc-big-786193) (technically, they're filming a "proof of concept of revival", which sounds like a pilot to me but I'm not one of them fancy Hollywood types). That's great news! Oh, wait, one more thing. Big Bang Theory cocreator Bill Prady is co-writing.

Clearly, a monkey's paw was used to get this to happen. :(

Showtime has either cancelled its revival of Twin Peaks or has forced out David Lynch from the director's chair (http://tvline.com/2015/04/05/twin-peaks-revival-showtime-cancellation-rumors/), which what the fuck? Do it with Lynch or don't do it at all, you dumb idiots.

new Mad Max: Fury Road trailer

and I think I should highlight the most incredible moment in that trailer
Spoiler: it's a big image (click to see content)

I mean, look. I've been looking forward to Age of Ultron the minute since Avengers 1 ended, but good fucking lord is Mad Max closing the distance for my most anticipated movie of the year! I mean holy fucking shit look at that image it is everything I could want out of a movie and more

the Twin Peaks situation is becoming more clear: the show is still in development but David Lynch has decided to drop out of directing the episodes (http://deadline.com/2015/04/david-lynch-twin-peaks-directing-showtime-1201404765/) because he feels Showtime hasn't given the project a big enough budget to realize its full potential. However, there might be a ray of hope in all this: Showtime is trying very, very hard to lure Lynch back in, and given that the returning actors are intensely loyal to Lynch, Showtime will have to bring him back if they want to do the show in the first place. Fingers crossed!

Teenage Downton Abbey prequel set in America (http://www.avclub.com/article/nbcs-new-show-will-fulfill-dreams-seeing-downton-a-217646) is a thing that now exists. Thanks, NBC.

Five Nights At Freddy's is also getting a movie. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/video-game-five-nights-at-787061)

THEORY TIME!

IF the movie is going to follow the games and focus on a security guard working there for five nights, there needs to be a stronger motivation for him to keep going back night after night. Ideas would include:

IF the movie ISN'T going to follow a security guard, there needs to be something else compelling going on:
In my opinion, there's a LOT that can go wrong with this, but at the same time, if it can go right, it can definitely be an unforgettable movie.

Also my kid brother had an interesting comment to say when I broke the news to him: It can only work if it's animated and not live action. While that sounds a little extreme, after thinking about it, I can see where he's coming from. Knowing Hollywood, if they do a live action movie, they'll probably make the animatronics CG, and it'll kill off any scares that may happen because they'll be moving too fluidly and obviously look like they were added in post. Whereas if it's animated, (even if it's all CG), the animations won't look too out of place, and you can get convincing performances from the actors who won't be staring at a piece of cardboard that's supposed to be a giant robot bear.

[avatar]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e315/Tiger_Stripe/discordintrigued.png[/avatar]My bet is that they'll mix elements of FNaF 1 and 3.  Set it in the pizzeria, but long after it's been abandoned.  There'll probably more than one protagonist in this story, and rather than a security guard they'll be something like dumb teens daring each other to stay five nights, or investigative journalists trying to figure out what happened to the missing children.

I'm not entirely certain if the story can be made into a workable movie, but if they actually made the animatronics practical effects, I'll probably give it a shot just for that.

Hah. Gotta wonder if they're redoing the CGI demo into live action - or even just adapting it. It would make for an obvious pre-credit intro, cold open. And seeing the shot of Reynolds with the make-up, you just have to expect the "I look like a cross between Ryan Reynolds and a Sharpey" line.

the Supergirl costume looks a lot more colorful without the filters the photoshoot used (not sure what the show itself will use, but hopefully it'll be brighter than the promotional image). The blue is still way too dark for my taste, though. Still a better costume than Supergirl's last 2 outfits in the comics, though!

The Last Man on Earth has been renewed for a second season. (http://deadline.com/2015/04/last-man-on-earth-renewed-season-2-fox-1201406518/) It's really good, and it deserves it!

there's gonna be a "remake" of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, to be aired on Fox (https://deadline.com/2015/04/rocky-horror-picture-show-remake-fox-gail-berman-kenny-ortega-1201407925/) (remake seems a bit weird when stuff that was originally a theatrical production is being discussed, especially when the revival sounds like it'll be along the lines of a stage show)

That is one darn good Supergirl costume indeed.
But I too would prefer a brighter blue to go with it. >.>

And more yellow in the shield background.

Also, I am wondering where the heck will I find red boots with high heels that long when time comes for me to copy this costume for cosplaying reasons...
Knee high boots just aren't a thing a girl can find when she is 6'1'' tall. :(

I'm double posting because this is of VITAL IMPORTANCE. About a year ago, reports came out about a series in the works at NBC, a dark and gritty reimagining of the Wizard of Oz. (http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.1984262) Promising to tell the story of Dorothy, desperate for clues about the identity of her biological mother, breaks into a top secret facility in the Midwest before ending up in the path of a tornado, which takes her into the dark and mystical kingdom of Oz, where she encounters such threats as "lethal warriors, dark magic,and a bloody battle for supremacy" as well as a tribe of the primitive, strange "Munja’kin". The series was sadly cancelled before we could discover this incredible vision of trying to turn the Wizard of Oz into Game of Thrones for some reason.

BUT FEAR NOT. I am here to bring good news. NBC has in fact changed their minds, and has picked up the series. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/wizard-oz-series-emerald-city-788811) REJOICE.

Galaxy Quest is getting turned into a TV series, for some reason. (http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/galaxy-quest-tv-series-paramount-adaptation-1201476536/)

The directors of John Wick will helm an adaption of Bloodshot (http://screencrush.com/john-wick-directors-bloodshot-movie/), as part of a planned cinematic universe by Sony, based on Valiant Comics properties.

double post go

there is now a FOURTH FUCKING Robin Hood movie currently in development (http://deadline.com/2015/04/robin-hood-four-competing-movies-warner-bros-sherwood-forest-1201413471/). Warner Bros has just put another one into development, from the screenwriter of Gangster Squad and Aquaman, Will Beall. This joins the following:

so clearly this post needs a pick-me up after that disaster so here is this: Netflix has picked up Aziz Ansari's new show for a 10 episode order. (http://deadline.com/2015/04/aziz-ansari-comedy-series-netflix-1201413974/) Ansari co-created and will be starring in the show, which also features H. Jon Benjamin of Home Movies/Bob's Burgers/Archer fame (YES), and is being executive produced by a lot of former Parks & Rec people. Really great pedigree right there, so it should be awesome!

... although I can't help but feel bittersweet about this because this was presumably the project Harris Wittels (also of Parks & Rec) was moving out to New York for, before his untimely death in February. I guess I'm gonna go reread Ansari's rememberance of Wittels now and feel sad, sorry :(

It is indeed the new trend, and it really only seems that Marvel is the only company that knows how to make it work.

Sony just announced an animated Spider-Man movie by The Lego Movie/21 Jump Street directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/KingPatel/news/?a=119249). The official press release clarified that it will be independent from the newly rebooted live action franchise that will place Spidey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It could be good! But I don't really trust Sony!

Tyler Perry has been cast as villainous scientist Baxter Stockman in the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. (http://variety.com/2015/film/news/tyler-perry-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-2-1201477655/)

I'm still having trouble believing this, it's just so, so crazy, so incongruous.

also, an Ash Vs. Evil Dead tidbit: (http://screencrush.com/ash-vs-evil-dead-photo-details-bruce-cambell-sam-raimi/)
Quote
[Ash Vs. Evil Dead] doesn’t really exist in the exact same universe. It’s a slightly altered universe. It takes place somewhere in an alternate universe after Evil Dead 2. That might seem like a confusing answer. I don’t want to spoil too much for the audience, but that’s the truest answer I can give. We would be seeing similar locations, meaning it lives in a modern day world with Ash battling evil in this era, the modern day. Ash went through that [Army of Darkness] experience, but we’re not really referencing it in terms of we’re not referencing specifics from that, but he certainly has that in his memory.
sounds weird and also it doesn't so much sound like an alternate universe maybe, just that they're not going to constantly reference and depend on the movies? That seems like the best approach regardless of the alt universe issue.

their autobiographical implies that they wanted to end it halfway, because extending that fight was gonna ruin the manga but the editorial dept./their own lust for money did not let them end the manga there, so theyc ompromised and ended that fight and then continued the manga with a mote stupid thin which was not even part of the initial concept.

and also because this happened:

Generally speaking, I don't think either of those movies need to be in the previous "X-Men movieverse" to work, they can just as well be counted in whatever new universe comes after it. More specificially, Deadpool doesn't need to fit with Wolverine Origins - in fact it would work fine for Deadpool and the fourth wall breaking if he straight up talks about it, like, "you might remember that shitty version of me but don't fret, that was rebooted and I'm a just like I was supposed to be, now ! So just ignore the Origins movie."
As for Gambit, did they specifically say it would be in the same universe ? Is it even written already or did they just say "we want Taylor Lautner, but that might be for 6 years in the future" ?

From what has been said so far about the two movies, it seems like there was a general sort of plan to eventually team them up with the regular X-Men movies (or it was assumed), because everyone's chasing that MCU money. But...

this is all complicated by the fact that Days of Future Past was essentially the original cast's final bow, and both Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult have said Apocalypse will be their last X-Men movie as well; Deadpool definitely is taking place in the present, and it's probably fair to assume that Gambit will as well. Hugh Jackman is apparently wrapping up his run as Wolverine as well; I guess if they hold onto Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy (and the new, young versions of Cyclops, Storm, et. al., but those guys are just starting and probably already have signed up for more movies) they could continue without a reboot. It's just that I guess they would stay in the past? And maybe Gambit could cross over but Deadpool might not be able to? But then wouldn't that be similarly as confusing as two different continuities? I dunno!!!

OH SHIT dat massive cocktease.
I love how the Flash has been going on, not just the story/writing but, like, with Joe getting all giggly whenever Barry does something freaky and new, the little things like that (it's never really good when the characters don't react to jokes and funny stuff, it feels less real, I don't know why lots of show don't do it). Liking Eddie too.
Meanwhile, Arrow had a great season 2 with Deathstroke, but season 3 with Ra's has been swirling back to not too good, with characters getting a shitty attitude (Oliver getting worse, Lance rushing back to anti-Arrow, all of Ra's being a bad character) and the League storyline wasn't too good to begin with and it's been lasting for too long and getting just irritating. It's trying too hard again.

There's no way that train wouldn't get fucked up and crash when hitting Grodd. Also two trains following each other so closely on the same track in the same direction, nope. But oh well, it was just an easy way to solve it. Then again, all that Grodd build-up ended up as a filler, literally, even in-universe, it was just stalling, that's rather disappointing.
Also I never really like those "stop saying you wanted to protect me, I can make my own decisions" arguments, it's always just for show, to claim they're for empowerment. It also always comes in total contradiction to whatever they were saying before when they insisted "no, we do have to keep it secret" - even if it wasn't necessarily a great reason at the moment, lampshading it doesn't make it go any better.

I know he's said a few times that it's incredibly difficult to keep up the Wolverine body (all the workouts, dietary restrictions, and so on), and he has been playing the character for almost two decades; I think it's good that he's stepping down. The franchise really needs to explore other characters besides Wolverine, after all!

It looks like Machinima is making a big push in trying to get into the online content streaming game, and is partnering with DC to help generate that content (I dunno about you but I love calling TV shows and other forms of art "content"). Now, this was announced a while ago, but they currently are producing Justice League: Gods And Monsters Chronicles. It hasn't even aired yet, and yet, they've gone ahead and renewed it. (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/05/04/justice-league-gods-and-monsters-chronicles-announced-by-machinima-wb-and-dc-comics/)

They're also developing two other series. One is based on an old, fairly obscure DC concept that has had several revivals over the decades, but never really caught on: Dial H for Hero. The basic idea is that there's like, a telephone dial, you know like a rotary telephone dial, and if you dial in H-E-R-O you get transformed into a random superhero:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/13/Dial_H_for_Hero_1.2.jpg)
it's a pretty neat concept, but also kind of inherently hokey, sorta? Well, regardless, the fine folks at DC have been thoughtful enough to update it for the 21st century:
Quote
A modern adaptation of DC Comics’ cult-favorite classic “Dial H For Hero”, #4Hero is a live-action, VFX-heavy action-comedy about a young woman named Nellie Tribble who is quietly desperate to make her mark on the world, but wholly unprepared to do so. Nellie stumbles upon a life-altering smartphone app that allows her to instantly become a Super Hero for a short amount of time. The problem is her super powers are dictated by whatever is trending on social media at that moment, and they are always only semi-useful.
Hastag Four Hero. Powered by trending topics. :-\ :-\ :-\

the final show is based on the legendary revival of Starman in the 90s, by James Robinson and Tony Harris. Sorta. This is actually more like, a contest to see who will win a chance to develop a Starman movie? (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/05/04/dc-comics-wants-you-to-create-a-starman-film-with-geoff-johns/)

Constantine may have been canceled, but don't you folks worry: there's another adaptation of a beloved DC/Vertigo book coming out this year:
Quote
Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, Lucifer is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell,Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis, Merlin) has abandoned his throne and retired to L.A., where he owns Lux, an upscale nightclub.

Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things – wine, women and song – when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux. For the first time in roughly 10 billion years, he feels something awaken deep within him as a result of this murder. Compassion? Sympathy? The very thought disturbs him – as well as his best friend and confidante, Mazikeen aka Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt, The Librarians), a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman.

The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Dancer (Lauren German, Chicago Fire), who initially is dismissive of Lucifer. But she becomes intrigued by his talent for drawing out people’s secrets and his desire to dispense justice, doling out punishment to those who deserve it. As they work together to solve the pop star’s murder, Lucifer is struck by Chloe’s inherent goodness. Accustomed to dealing with the absolute worst of humanity, Lucifer is intrigued by Chloe’s apparent purity and begins to wonder if there’s hope for his own soul yet.

At the same time, God’s emissary, the angel Amenadiel (DB Woodside, Suits, 24), has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to the underworld…can the Devil incarnate be tempted toward the side of Good, or will his original calling pull him back toward Evil?

this looks like complete dogshit and worse, it's a really fucking shitty adaptation of one of my favorite comic series ever that has somehow managed to turn a complicated, expansive tale exploring creation, predestination, faith, theology, and morality, into a fucking cop show. :(

a casting call for X-Men: Apocalypse has let it slip that Hugh Jackman and Channing Tatum are in the movie as Wolverine and Gambit, respectively. (https://www.calltime.com/job-details/375/x-men-apocalypse-casting-extras) It's not a huge surprise that they're involved, but they're unlikely to be major players.

I've heard mixed things about it; no idea about the closure, though.

Apparently Warner Bros is shopping it around to other networks, and Syfy aired reruns that did pretty well, so it might end up surviving.

I've got a lot of mixed feelings about that trailer; just a whole lotta cringe in the workplace scenes. :-\

Fox has tapped Josh Boone (who recently directed The Fault In Our Stars) to co-write and direct an X-Men spinoff: The New Mutants. (http://deadline.com/2015/05/the-new-mutants-x-men-josh-boone-the-fault-in-our-stars-fox-1201425641/) In the comics, the New Mutants were actually the very first X-Men spinoff, and it focused on the junior, teenaged X-Men class; at the end of the first volume the team was taken over by Cable, who turned it into the more militaristic X-Force. I can't really say any of the members of any of the various incarnations of the team are well-known outside of the comics, though.

Since X-Men: Apocalypse is going to be wrapping up the First Class era of X-Men movies (Michael Fassbender/Magento, Jennifer Lawrence/Mystique, and Nicholas Hoult/Beast have all pretty much confirmed that they're done with the franchise), and is introducing a bunch of new, teenaged X-Men (Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, and Jubilee), it sorta seems like it would be natural that they form the core of this New Mutants team, maybe? But then again, this is explicitly described as a spinoff, and it's entirely possible those guys are reserved for whatever will be the next mainline X-Men movie?

Few of them, like Cannonball, Magik and Sunspot (which was in Days of Future Past movie).
Cable is one of the mentors of New Mutants in the comics.

the whole of the Cat speech was so cringe worthy that it become hilarious, I understand that super girl might be a odd term but the solution is specifically NOT call attention to it. Instead they go off on a speech about how forty year olds can be girls too.This speech didnt need to be done, no one was treating kara as a teenager.

Even if having her as an adult learning her powers is weird as heck. They state that she was put in the ship 24 years ago, which is confusing as fuck, because now i dont know what age shes supposed to have.

Quote
“I sat down with Akiva and said — and he ultimately agreed — that the [TV] landscape right now is well-serviced on the superhero front,” said Reilly. “So what space is this going to inhabit?”

The TNT head stated that it’s Goldsman’s intent to be “very true” to the source material, which Reilly stated was “was a groundbreaking property when it first started... There were consequences to things that happened; it wasn’t somebody died and they moved on. There was the first superhero to be an addict,” said Reilly, referencing Green Arrow’s former partner Speedy. “It’s a coming-of-age story for Robin, who feels like Batman has betrayed him.”

Harry Shearer, voice of Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner, Flanders, Smithers, Reverend Lovejoy, Kent Brockman, Dr. Hibbert, Lenny, and Otto (among many others) is leaving the Simpsons. (http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/the-simpsons-harry-shearer-mr-burns-ned-flanders-leave-show-1201495626/) The show will recast the roles, and continue for two more seasons even though seriously come on this is basically a death blow just put it out of its misery.

I assume it's gonna be what more modern incarnations have done: Kal-El (infant) and Kara Zor-El (teenager) both leave Krypton right before it explodes, but Kara's rocket is either delayed or isn't as fast as his, and her rocket doesn't arrive on Earth until Kal-El is an adult (but she's the same age, because she was in suspended animation). There's no way they didn't film a scene explaining that, but they didn't put it into the trailer (presumably because it would get into the way of all those cringey Cat Grant scenes).

With 3 shows running in parallel, I guess DC TV Universe deserves its own topic by now ?
I loved Arthur Darvill in Doctor Who but I'm really not feeling his Rip Hunter at all. He's got some bad line deliveries in this trailer. Also I don't understand the need for time travel, at least not the way this trailer explains it (basically just saying "oh we're going to time travel because, uh, I said so"). Savage's evil spans centuries just because he's immortal ? Why is there a need to fix stuff in time, is something broken, is it impossible to just stop him here and now ? And finally, there's no reason for Wally West not to show up at this point, to replace Barry when he goes back to his home series.

Almost forgot, last Flash episode outright said that Ferris Air was closed because a test pilot disappeared. Pretty clear that Green Lantern is coming, but I wonder when they'll find the time to plug him in - LoT is likely a good enough place to slip him in, but it can't become his main show unless they never show him in space...

Hank Henshaw isn't Metallo, he's the Cyborg Superman. It already seems like it'd be a natural step for him to go from head of an alien-hunting agency to enhancing himself or being infected with Kryptonian tech and turning himself into a crazy roboman who wants to kill all the aliens including Supergirl, maybe towards the end of the first season or something.

Fox is prepping a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen reboot (http://www.tracking-board.com/tb-exclusive-fox-enters-development-on-a-reboot-of-the-league-of-extraordinary-gentlemen/), presumably to stoke anger in Alan Moore.

Cary Fukunaga is no longer directing Stephen King's IT (http://www.thewrap.com/cary-fukunaga-out-as-director-of-stephen-kings-it-at-new-line-exclusive/), apparently due to clashes with the studio. The film was originally being produced by Warner Bros, but moved to New Line in recent weeks, and those new producers have led to dustups about budgeting, shooting locations, and this gem:
Quote
Another source indicated that New Line was getting cold feet about the project in the wake of the less-than-stellar opening of “Poltergeist,” which featured a clown in its marketing materials.
which is just Hollywood logic at its finest. :wall:

according to The Wrap's sources, the movie is dead in the water because Fukunaga was the primary driving force; this whole debacle is just a real shame.

Deadpool has wrapped filming. (https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/604227442702614528) Pretty quick for a superhero movie, but in line with the reports that say the budget isn't quite so high as is the norm for those types of movies; this actually seems to have worked greatly in the movie's favor: the lower budget means a lot less scrutiny from the studio, which has probably led to stuff like how we're getting a Deadpool costume that is so incredibly accurate, and the movie also has a better chance of being rated R if there isn't so much riding on it to set new box office records (and it's not as though a Deadpool movie really needs the kinds of gigantic CGI scenes so prevalent in every superhero movie these days).

Here's another! Disney is also doing a live action adaptation of the Night on Bald Mountain segment of Fantasia (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/disney-adapt-iconic-fantasia-sequence-799554). :|

Disney was already in a frenzy, rushing out live action adaptations of their animated staples, but I fear the worst now that their big, original movie Tommorowland underperformed, it's just gonna reinforce the executives paranoia that only reboots will sell D:

Furious 7 and The Conjuring director James Wan will direct Sony's Robotech movie (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/james-wan-closes-deals-direct-799686), which is still a thing that is happening, despite it being an adaptation of 3 bastardized anime series mashed together, except they don't have the rights to the series that everyone likes and remembers and actually still gives a shit about.

this is disappointing, Wan deserves better

Quote
Simon Kinberg, a co-writer and producer on "Fantastic Four," who has also worked on several films in the "X-Men" franchise, says there were well-thought-out artistic reasons behind all of the film’s casting decisions.

"The change of Jamie as Ben being a smaller guy instead of a bigger guy, for example, was for a purpose," he said. "It's more dramatic when that character becomes a huge rock creature – that's a bigger transformation. The notion of a working-class tough guy who's been pushed around by his bigger brothers his whole life seemed like a more interesting character than the guy who started as a football player and just ended up being 4 inches taller."

Well you know how it is: before they went into space and were transformed by cosmic rays, Reed Richards was an inflexible thinker who always kept his mind on one thing at a time; Susan Storm was a very extroverted, open person; and Johnny Storm was a very dependable, level-headed guy. Their powers were inverses of themselves!

... I'm sorry, I'm being told by my producer that that is all literally exactly the opposite of things actually were. Whoops!

Surprisingly similar to the original.  I'm having trouble noticing anything different on Blossom, just the scrunchies and rustled hair on the other two.  The show didn't start in 1996 though, that was Dexter.  Unless they're counting appearances on Space Ghost, then I dunno.

The previous one, yeah.  Crime 101 is the one where they're teaching the Amoeba Boys how to commit crimes, so they rob a bank and are put on trial I think.  It's been a while, but if I'm recalling correctly they had that Fuzzy one and the Whoopass one of burning the Amoeba Boys up in the sun as well.  Because they're just terrible.

And either way, that's still a two year difference. >:(  They might as well say it started in 1992 when the idea first came around.

some more Power Rangers: The Movie, but not that one from the 90s, or the other one also from the 90s: the main villain is Rita Repulsa and there will apparently be a flashback to the Cretaceous, where the Red Ranger, Zordon, fights off Rita. (http://heroichollywood.com/home-1/2015/6/9/power-rangers-movie-villain-opening-scene-revealed-exclusive)

Rita is described thusly:
Quote
A huntress. A striking, yet subtly alien-looking woman. She carries a metallic staff topped with a distinctive crescent shape. Advances with a soldier’s confidence, guided by some sort of compass... Her staff is actually a device of immense power. She points it at the ground. Heads emerge, built layer upon layer like 3-D printing, made from the earth itself... The staff’s technology grants her the ability to create humanoid figures, soulless and robotic.
Ah, great choice of them to remove the whole witch thing who summons monsters with magic; they've smartly replaced it with equally implausible sciencey babble, because it is much more suited to a franchise about teenagers with attitude who are chosen by a giant floating head to become superheroes in powered armor and giant robots, so that they can fight off alien threats and save the planet. Can't have silly things like magic in there. ::)

I watch neither the American nor the Japanese series, but I always thought/felt that the Japanese Sentai always had a mystic element to it which the US version always replaced with a technological view ? (yes, I do remember that Rita was still big on magic, but still, comparatively)

Bradley Cooper and Syfy have teamed up to adapt the Hugo and Locus award winning novel, Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/bradley-cooper-graham-king-todd-801537)
baisc plot description said:
Set on the eve of Armageddon with the entire galaxy at war, Hyperion is the story of seven pilgrims who set forth on a voyage to seek the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope and a terrible secret — while one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.
I'm really really intrigued by this, because Hyperion is fucking great, but it seems like a huge challenge to adapt. The novel is mostly a series of short stories told by each of the pilgrims, relating their reasons for making the journey to the planet Hyperion; each story is wildly different from the other in both writing style and genre, but all combine together to establish a very interesting and complex universe. It seems like it would be significantly challenging to adapt, and I have no idea how it could be adapted to a basic cable budget (or even premium cable, like HBO or something) even with some fairly significant changes; this is a crazy universe with a lot of weird shit in it that would be expensive to depict onscreen. But hopefully it all works out!

Quote
Moviehole reports that HALLOWEEN RETURNS is currently casting; there’s no mention of behind-the-scenes creatives, though the SAW sequels and COLLECTOR duo of Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton were last reported to be attached. The new film will be a stand-alone reboot of the franchise and, according to the site, “will pit a new group of Haddonfield youngsters against Myers. The now 18-year-old child of one of Myers’ victims plays a central role along with the child of a cop whose long been obsessed with Myers’ case, even putting it before his own daughter. Myers is now on death row and the two kids with their own personal vendettas against the killer sneak in to watch his execution. But when things go awry and Myers escapes, the pair, along with their friends, find themselves in the firing line.”

yeah forgot about that, i guess this should've went to the entrainment thread (I'm gonna keep it here though).
but why not just rename this thread to make it include all marvel movies? like the DC thread.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on July 03, 2015, 03:15:24 am
The DC thread is also technically supposed to only cover their movie universe; it did, however, have some TV related stuff posted there, but that was all from before it was made clear that they're separate.

It is, I guess, a pretty arbitrary separation when it comes down to it, but it's also pretty useful to keep everything separate.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Titiln on July 03, 2015, 03:23:26 am
i don't think it's that arbitrary, the marvel cinematic universe has enough things going on (movies, tv shows) to justify its own thread separate from the usually disappointing nonmarvel marvel movies
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on July 03, 2015, 04:02:14 am
Oh, I definitely, definitely agree, just was speaking to how it seems arbitrary, especially from an outside view.

Jason Statham is returning for Fast and Furious 8. (http://www.accesshollywood.com/jason-statham-to-return-for-furious-8_video_2844737) And also, following up on that news item from a while ago where Helen Mirren said she wanted to be in a Fast and Furious movie: Vin Diesel says he'd love for her to appear. (http://www.accesshollywood.com/vin-diesel-would-welcome-helen-mirren-to-furious-8-i-love-her_article_109247)

So, seriously, get on that shit, have Helen Mirren play Jason Statham's mother, bring back Luke Evans as the brother too, and then have Mama Shaw break them out of prison and they can all team up for revenge. It'll be family vs. family!!!

Famed writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights) is writing... wait, what?  (also, Warner Bros is making a live action Pinocchio movie staring Robert Downey Jr.) PTA doing a script for a (presumable) gigantic special effect ridden blockbuster, for some reason? That sounds crazy!

and finally, the best for last: critically acclaimed comic book writer Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, Animal Man) is looking to tackle another beloved, iconic character and do a synthesis of their long history, drilling down into the timeless elements to develop a singularly iconic, essential story, much like his own All-Star Superman. This project will also be focusing on the origin story, with art done by Dan Mora (Hexed).

Deadpool is shooting for a "hard R", which is the ideal choice,  (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/02/deadpool-ryan-reynolds-comic-con)although I still think it could've worked as a PG-13 movie. I still would prefer an R rated one, though!

Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production studio, which brought the world the wonderful horror remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and A Nightmare On Elm Street (as well as last year's execrable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), is tackling another classic: they're remaking Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. (http://collider.com/the-birds-remake-lands-director-diederik-van-rooijen/) Finally this movie will have the explosions it deserves.

Famed comic book author Grant Morrison has been named editor-in-chief of the Heavy Metal magazine (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/06/heavy-metal), and will be overseeing its relaunch.

Andy Garcia, Cecily Strong, Michael K. Williams, and Matt Walsh have all joined the cast of the Ghostbusters reboot. (http://www.thewrap.com/ghostbusters-casts-andy-garcia-wire-star-michael-k-williams-in-sonys-paul-feig-reboot-exclusive/) Very cool casting!

Amazon has passed on picking up Hannibal for season 4 (http://deadline.com/2015/07/hannibal-amazon-netflix-pass-1201471391/), apparently because there would be a fairly significant gap in production because of Bryan Fuller's prior commitments to the American Gods adaptation he's working on, and Amazon didn't want to wait. Very, very bad news, Amazon was Hannibal's best hope, and I have to imagine that the same reluctance they had over having to wait for Fuller to finish work on season one of American gods will apply to other streaming sites. So, it's looking pretty bad right now, but there's still a slim chance, maybe?

And we are getting an anthology film about young Han Solo.
I like this. The people they picked to do it seem fairly appropriate to deliver something Han Solo worthy.

Edit:

Harry Shearer accepted a new contract and will be working on The Simpsons for another two seasons, with the option to extend the contract for another two seasons.

TMNT crossover with Batman series! SOLD! JMorphMan. Give me optimistic build up that great writers are making this and that it'll be awesome!
I haven't read any of James Tynion IV's superhero stuff (I've heard it's good though), but I have read some of the stuff he did for BOOM!: The Woods (which an ongoing series, about a high school that is mysteriously teleported onto a dangerous alien planet) and Memetic (which is a 3 issue series, an apocalyptic horror comic in the vein of Junji Ito about how this meme (http://i1.cdnds.net/14/28/618x618/comics-memetic-1.jpg) destroys humanity), both of which were excellent! And Freddie E. Williams II is a great artist too!

(http://i.imgur.com/vZ9RTMR.png)
here's a random pic from the Deadpool movie that I'm posting because Negasonic Teenage Warhead (that's actually the name of the character) here is wearing what looks like one of the modern, generic X-Men outfits (generic as in, for people who don't have a unique costume like Wolverine or Storm). And holy cow, it looks so much better than the boring-ass leather outfits in the previous movies! It actually looks like an X-Men outfit! Deadpool is really knocking it out of the park, costume-wise!!!

I'm okay with this, Betsy looks great. Besides, given Storm's purple outfit it looks like they're playing it off as a team color for the Horsemen.

Not sure what to think about Apoc in costume in that shot; I would've thought they'd take the Xerxes approach and use a tennis ball on a stick for actors to focus on, then add in double-size actor over the top in post.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that Apocalypse has MSP in his Four Horsemen. Dude straight up picked top tier.

the casting everyone looks generic but that's just imo I think a lot  of the casting and make up in the first films were better as well, the only real draw in these later films are the performances by magneto and prof x. The story lines make no sense continuity wise and they seem to be continuing that trend but fans don't mind it so more power to them i guess

Here's a shot of Magneto in costume:
(http://i.imgur.com/QiHvEm1.jpg)
I'm kinda conflicted about these outfits (but mostly positive); Psylocke is in her Jim Lee outfit, straight up (well, now she has a boob window, but other than that, it's pretty accurate), and Magneto gets a pretty good adapation of his classic red sorta-armor costume, which is great! But then the team X-Men outfit is more of the same black boring tacticool shit. And after those Deadpool shots showed off that very faithful adaptation of the modern X-Men team uniform, it's just pretty disappointing. :-\

Apocalypse looks pretty good, except for the head. The young Apocalypse in the post-credits sequence in DoFP had grey skin and that weird lip thing Apocalypse always has, but this one is blue-skinned and has normal lips for some reason? And I know this joke has been made by the literal entirety of the internet, but jeez louise he really, really looks like Ivan Ooze.

ah well, we got mohawk Storm, that's all that really matters

Fantastic Four reboot
https://youtu.be/AAgnQdiZFsQ

This movie gets dumber with every trailer.
Oh noes, the military wants to use super-powered beings as a weapon. That's never been done before, and it works so particularly well with this crew.
Forgot to say, I saw the French trailer yesterday in theater, and it was a different cut, they actually removed the military crap and changed the emphasize so it seemed to completely focus on exploration, planetary threats from weird super science, and the Fantastic Four solving it with science superpowers ?? I was really surprised, it actually seemed watchable ! Maybe the military strike team bit will only take five minutes, I have no idea which one is truer to what the movie will actually be and which one had a retarded marketing team.

Oh, on the other hand, I felt like shooting myself in the face when I saw that the French subtitles wrote "Red Richards" (I've never read a French version of a comics). What the shit, French translators, why are you always so fucking terrible, this is why we hate you.

... Wait, it was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POBI7OhGB18 ... except they cut it off at the 2:20 mark. Which is the whole part with the massive "military strike team" vibe. So yeah, it's what I said. That trailer looks a lot different without that last part, you can almost forgive the glimpse of the weird Doom.

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

also, updated synopsis:
Quote
A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

Well, it's more like it's the reverse; they've stopped pushing the concept of "Batman is a loner who works alone", even though that was only true for literally one year of his entire 76 years of publication. The Bat-family is an important part of the mythos, an essential one, and it's good to see it's been getting it's due more and more.

Channing Tatum has reportedly left Gambit (http://www.thewrap.com/channing-tatum-superhero-movie-gambit-in-jeopardy-as-deal-unravels-exclusive/), which is very, very bad news for that project, because he essentially willed it into existence (he met with Fox and said he wanted to play Gambit, he was producing it, he selected the director, etc.). Well, maybe they can pick a more worthy character for a solo film if this indeed falls through?

Simon Pegg says that the villain Idris Elba is playing in Star Trek 3 (or, technically, 13) is a very complex and interesting character (http://www.mtv.com/news/2225690/simon-pegg-star-trek-beyond-idris-elba-character/), and won't be similar to the previous movie's Khan.

embargo lifted

>Ultimately, Fox’s stab at reviving one of its inherited Marvel properties feels less like a blockbuster for this age of comics-oriented tentpoles than it does another also-ran — not an embarrassment, but an experiment that didn’t gel. And having seemingly missed twice in trying to get “Fantastic Four” right, the studio, unlike Reed, might want to think seriously before making any more trips back to the drawing board.

On random news, it seems that Monty Python and the Holy Grail will hit the theatres for it's 40th anniversary.

http://www.denofgeek.us/movies/monty-python-and-the-holy-grail/248180/monty-python-and-the-holy-grail-coming-back-to-theaters

“The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that the British Comedy troupe, Monty Python, was to re-release its film Monty Python and the Holy Grail for on the occasion of its 40th anniversary.

What? Monty Python and the Holy Grail celebrated its 40th anniversary earlier this year? Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue over who released what and when.


Sony Pictures and Park Circus will celebrate Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England all year when Monty Python and the Holy Grail returns to 500 theaters on Oct. 14.

The one-night only event will be introduced by John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin in a short movie shot just for the occasion.

The classic Arthurian comedy will also clop into theaters in the United States and internationally in the fall and if you miss that, Sony will also put out a 40th anniversary edition of the film on Blu-Ray.

I am crying womanly tears of joy right now.

the Deadpool trailer looks pretty spiffy but jeez, it's such total whiplash to go from watching a trailer of a joyous adaptation of the Deadpool comics to reading about the Fantastic Four reboot, which is so absurdly ashamed of its own comic book origins. A real shame that FF is getting another shit adaption, it deserves better: it's such a wonderful team, when done right!

Archie is getting a musical (http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/archie-musical-adam-mckay-funny-or-die-broadway-1201557003/) with a book (basically the non-sung parts, I think? I can't remember the musical terminology, guys!) by Adam McKay (!!!)

Maybe if the new Fantastic Four is a gigantic box office success that would prompt Fox to immediately begin to try and start crossovers with the X-Men franchise? But even then it seems unlikely.

In a totally not at all suspiciously timed move, Fox has suddenly announced that actually, the rebooted Fantastic Four don't exist in the same universe as the X-Men. (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/fantastic-x-men-not-film-universe-article-1.2314517) You know, despite all the numerous times they've talked about wanting to cross them over, and how they gathered the casts of both franchises together at Comic Con, etc.?

Fox is in negotiations with Marvel to produce an X-Men TV series. (http://tvline.com/2015/08/06/x-men-series-fox-2016-marvel/) This is pretty interesting, because the last time something like this happened, it was when Fox was just about to lose the film rights to Daredevil, and Marvel came to them and offered to extended the deadline a few years, in exchange for the film rights to Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Fox, of course, refused, and that's how we ended up with Daredevil returning to Marvel and getting a critically acclaimed show out of it, while Fox once again shit the bed with regards to the Fantastic Four. So, I dunno, this is all baseless speculation, but it seems like Marvel would want some kind of exchange, right? They can prevent Fox from making an X-Men show, but they've shown that they're willing to work with Fox as long as they get something out of it; they might even want the same deal, Galactus and Silver Surfer? I mean, it's not like the new Fantastic Four franchise has a bright future!

Reminder he was forbidden from tweeting by the studios after he got high and went to twitter to scream at people about the movie
 
Reminder he then had a 4chan rant, again, while high. Studio had to put Cease and desist letters to have the rant removed, even from 4chan servers.

If the things said about him are real, he's got some major substance abuse problem that is glorified for some reason, and you put a person like that responsible for millions?

Kind of a good thing disney kicked him off star wars.

Supposedly they re-shot 40 pages worth of script and still had to cut 30 mins - Trank's on record saying the movie was between 2:10 and 2:20 mins long, a quick glance at the running time now will reveal that is most decidedly no longer the case.

So, if he told the actors not to look at the source comic book, and seeing how, apparently, a number of details (setup, some dialog lines, even points of view on certain images, according to BleedingCool) are taken from the Ultimate FF, the studio fired him and reshot it all... trying to make it closer to the comics ? Does that mean... the studio actually tried to make it good ? That's a shock. Maybe they did learn their lesson, they just completely fucked the writing position.
It's a bit of a shame, but at least maybe they'll give up this time.

Archer is moving to FXX for its next season (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/07/archer-moving-to-fxx-for-season-7), in order to be paired with another Adam Reed show debuting next year. Which, uh, is just being announced out of the blue now. And it sounds incredible.
Quote
Cassius and Clay, from Archer's Adam Reed and Community writer Megan Ganz, features Kaitlin Olson (Cassius) and Lake Bell (Clay) as bandits looking to survive in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic American South. The voice cast includes Susan Sarandon, Jeffrey Tambor, J.B. Smoove, Kevin Michael Richardson, Stephen Root, Katy Mixon and Robert Patrick. 10 episodes have been ordered for the first season, due to air on FXX in 2016.
Lake Bell and Kaitlin Olson star in an animated Mad Max type show by Adam Reed and Megan Ganz? Was this show specifically designed for me? Holy shit that's amazing!!!!

Fantastic Four is doing absolutely terribly at the box office, (http://variety.com/2015/film/box-office/fantastic-four-bombing-at-the-friday-box-office-1201559318/) dipping well below its expected box office gross, and there is now a very real possibility that it might not even make it to the number one spot at the box office.

While I feel kinda bad about taking glee in the failure of a movie literally thousands of people worked hard on... I still kinda am gleeful at this. Give Marvel back the Fantastic Four, you jerks!

Ah, the version where their powers are presented as crippling disabilities and Dr. Doom is a message board troll using the dankest of memes. Well, I'm sure it felt like great art when he was coked out of his mind and telling his actors not to read any of the source material.
Well, actually... it sounds like the best parts of the movie were the Cronenbergian post-transformation scenes, that the studio hacked to bits (it apparently goes for only 5 minutes, and probably made up a significant portion of the 30 minutes that was cut). Like, I'm not exactly sure if that stuff would make for a good Fantastic Four movie, but maybe it would've made for a better movie in general? I dunno. I mean like, all that stuff about "treating the superpowers as a disability" that was talked up during the movie's production sounded absolutely terrible, but I can't exactly say that that wasn't sort of an aspect in the original comics, at least the very early going. The Thing, of course, has always had that sort of aspect about him, but for the first year or so, the other members of the team often despaired at their powers. I don't think it's an inherently terrible idea to explore, but it's something that needs to be overcome (otherwise Reed, Sue, and Johnny look like fucking assholes to keep complaining about their powers when Ben's right there, turned into a horrific rock monster, while they all look normal).

So, if he told the actors not to look at the source comic book, and seeing how, apparently, a number of details (setup, some dialog lines, even points of view on certain images, according to BleedingCool) are taken from the Ultimate FF, the studio fired him and reshot it all... trying to make it closer to the comics ? Does that mean... the studio actually tried to make it good ?
I wouldn't say that; the only thing that was changed to hew closer to the source material is Dr. Doom's real name. There was actually a fairly credible report that came out yesterday about how the studio cut three major action scenes from the movie (http://comicbook.com/2015/08/08/fantastic-four-fox-reportedly-cut-3-action-scenes-days-before-jo/), days before filming was to start. Which is completely insane and would totally disrupt the entire movie, but still fairly plausible if Fox wanted to keep the budget as small as possible, and does align with everything else we know about the movie.

On the other hand, there were also a few, dubiously credible rumors from a few months back, about how Trank removed explicit references to comic book stuff (like renaming the dimension they travel from the comics' Negative Zone to "Planet Zero"), as well as some vague references to the X-Men.

On a related note, the level of control studios have on these big blockbuster franchises, and how they seem to be grabbing hot new indie filmmakers with only one movie under their belt and putting them in charge of a huge tentpole films (so the studio will be able to more directly control the movie, compared with a more experienced director who can fight back) is a big complicated subject, and this recent article that is also sort of a review of Fantastic Four (http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/why-josh-tranks-indie-to-fantastic-four-trajectory-could-spell-doom-for-the-next-spider-man-20150807) is a great take on the subject.

The Hollywood Reporter contacted Fox domestic distribution chief Chris Aronson, who said that (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-fantastic-four-flops-814123) "while we're disappointed, we remain committed to these characters and we have a lot to look forward to in our Marvel universe"; however, he specifically declined to comment about the previously scheduled Fantastic Four 2. This is not an exactly analogous situation, but Sony acted in a somewhat similar way last year, after Amazing Spider-Man 2's relative box office disappointment (though their press release was very positive, because ASM2 did do very well at the box office, it just didn't do well enough in the eyes of Sony).

So uh, yeah. Fantastic Four 2 is almost certainly scrapped, but I can't imagine this failure alone would prompt Fox to sell the rights back to Marvel, or something like that. We might get another reboot in 2022! :gonk:

Sources have told HitFix that Fox still plans to go ahead with Fantastic Four 2, but that it probably won't make it's original 2017 release date. (http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/how-are-the-new-fantastic-four-and-2013s-arrested-development-related) I'm pretty wary about this, because it's so, so early; the movie came out not even a week ago, and Fox just hasn't had enough time to fully digest the scope of their failure, and to adjust their plans in response.

there's also this funny story about a plot line in the the fourth season Arrested Development, regarding an unlicensed Fantastic Four muscial:
Drew McWeeny said:
When the most recent season of "Arrested Development" was released, people pored over every detail of it, and one of the weirdest jokes was, as I commented at the time, built on a punchline that took several years to land. There's a running subplot in the season about Tobias (David Cross) and his production of a completely illegal copyright infringing production of "Fantastic Four" that stars a woman who appeared in the scrapped '90s version of the film, shot as a quick bid to retain control of the rights to the characters.

At one point in the episode, "A New Start," Josh Trank shows up as a process server, handing Tobias the notice that he's being sued for infringement. At that point, Trank hadn't even started shooting the movie. He was still the hypothetical director of it at that point. If the studio had pulled the plug before they made the film, it would have become a very different weird connotation to his appearance, but now, there he is, forever linked to the series in the strangest possible way.

There was a war scene about the Thing working for the military in the Trank cut that passed around too.
It would've made a better action movie with better box office results, but it would still have made a terrible FF movie, in the vein of your average Transformers movie.
Well, that's for the Trank cut. I dunno how that one would have ended up, on paper it could work (but the whole weaponization obsession is still super boring)

Castlevania III is getting an ultra-violent "anime" adaptation (http://collider.com/castlevania-animated-series-adi-shankar/).
Quote
What kind of violence/gore can you show?
Shankar: There will be a lot.  The goal is to bring hard hitting anime to the America and be America’s first animated series for adults.
uhhhh... huh. Suuuuuuuuure.

anyway this is kinda disappointing to me because about a decade ago, there was another Castlevania III animated adaptation in the works, with a script by acclaimed comic book writer Warren Ellis (who is one of my personal favorite writers) and art direction and character designs by James Jean, celebrated cover artist of Fables:
(http://i.imgur.com/9IGpD5C.jpg)
sadly the project never progressed very far and was cancelled. So I dunno, it feels kinda upsetting that the guy who made the not that great fan films Punisher: Dirty Laundry and Venom: Truth in Journalism, and that recent grim and gritty Power Rangers reboot parody (he was also tangentially involved with Dredd, which was great, but again, tangential involvement) gets to do a very, very similar project. :-\

Castlevania 3 is a wise choice, it's the first chronologically and it has alot of characters to work with. all they need to do imo is focus on the action and make an okay story to carry it through.

Borderlands is getting a movie. (http://variety.com/2015/film/news/borderlands-videogame-movie-lionsgate-1201580303/)

Wonder if the Robo-lution will get condensed to an after-credits scene.  Or if they'll have that shading that's throughout the game or not.  They skipped it with the live action parts in the second game, but it kinda signature to the series.

Boy, if he thinks Idris Elba isn't suave enough for Bond (what an insane statement, Elba is almost TOO suave!) I'd hate to see his reaction to Daniel Craig's Bond!

and speaking of, Craig says SPECTRE might be his last movie (http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/film-tv/8782/daniel-craig-interview/), but he isn't sure yet. He's almost 50, and modern action movies are really rough, even with stunt actors and such, so it isn't all that weird. Hopefully he'll stick around for one more go, though!

also Steven R. McQueen is still teasing a role as Nightwing (http://comicbook.com/2015/09/01/steven-r-mcqueen-still-teasing-nightwing/), but the TNT Titans project seems to be in development hell, so I'm not sure what it could be for (and thus, I'm gonna stick it here instead the DC movie or TV threads).

Man, haven't thought of Artemis Fowl in a long time.  Didn't know it went on that long, the last I remember...

Dunno which of those was the last to occur though, been so long.  Used to love reading the series along with Redwall and His Majesty's Dragon, the latter overdue for its movie too.  Hope when they do this movie they don't remove my favorite scene.

If it was CG I'd say it'd be easy to make it a kid movie. I can't see how it could possibly be good as live action. MAYBE if it was Megaman X they could make it a bit more edgy and darker and all that dumb jazz they like to do and it MIGHT be ok. But regular love bot man and his sister in live action? I don't see it.

And that's with me being a fan of the fan made MM movie. I can still admit it was horrible.

here are some details about that new Halloween movie (http://screencrush.com/halloween-returns-details-jacobs/) Halloween Returns: much like H20 and its terrible sequel Resurrection, Returns will be a sequel to the Halloween II, ignoring every other movie that came after it. The movie reportedly will focus on that Gary Hunt from that same movie. You know, the deputy who teamed up with Loomis in II? The pretty bland guy who took over the Sheriff Brackett role after the latter exited the first half of the second movie, after discovering his daughter's corpse? That guy? Well he's now the sheriff of Haddonfield. There was also an interesting tidbit said by the director, regarding the title:
Marcus Dunstan said:
It does function as what it means to say: If you commit a violent act, sometimes you get returns. What are the repercussions of being a violent entity? In that case, ‘Halloween Returns’ could mean a number of things.
which sounds pretty intriguing; some type of revenge against Michael Myers type story? Could be neat, I guess. Also the director suggests that he's hoping to get Gillian Jacobs (of Community) to star (!!!!!). This is shaping up to be a project with a lot of potential!

also
Sam Smith is singing the theme song to SPECTRE, and it will drop tomorrow. (http://screencrush.com/spectre-theme-song-release-smith/)
by "drop tomorrow", they actually meant "will drop on the 25th of September" (http://screencrush.com/spectre-theme-song-release-smith/).

Some leaked photos from X-Men: Apocalypse have surfaced, they seem pretty legitimate, but it's possible one in particular was photoshopped, maybe?
(http://i.imgur.com/2g91XMw.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/xkrfpfD.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/Pyv3Jcy.jpg)
specifically the first pic, where Apocalypse is spotting a different, more comics-like look from the officially released photos. It's entirely possible that Fox went back and modified the appearance because of all the negative feedback that depiction received, but the pic also reminds me a lot of the wide variety of photoshopped, "fixed" versions of those official set photos. But this also looks a bit more lowkey than those: the only real differences are a grayer skin tone, making his eyes all white, and making Apocalypse's patented weird lip/chin line thingy more prominent. In any event, it looks a lot better than the previous version!

also, it's so so weird to me that they have a super accurate Psylocke costume (well, except for the newly added and totally necessary plunging neckline) but everyone else has a boring monochrome outfit, whether its the X-Men's boring ass black armor or Archangel's grey suit (the design itself is pretty cool, I just wish it had some color!). :-\

They're still trying to make an American Akira! (http://www.denofgeek.us/movies/akira/249050/report-warner-planning-akira-trilogy-christopher-nolan-involved) A new rumor has surfaced, saying that Warner Brothers is again trying to adapt Akira, this time as a planned trilogy. They're also trying to get Christopher Nolan involved, which a lot of people have taken to mean as the director, but that seems unlikely: it's probably for producer.

Fantastic Four 2 is still happening. (http://screencrush.com/fantastic-four-2-still-happening/) Or at least, Simon Kinberg (co-writer of the screenplay and Fox's head Marvel movie producer) is still working on it, and would like it to happen. Keep in mind, however, that the Fantastic Four reboot is still currently in theaters, and Fox is trying to wring as much money as it can out of it; announcing straight up that there's no sequel on the way would further diminish its already dismal box office showing. It's pretty unprecedented for a studio to greenlight a sequel to a movie that's flopped this hard, both critically and commercially (yes I know, Fox already greenlit the sequel months ago, before the movie came out, but you know what I mean!) I still predict that Fox will quietly drop FF2 from its scheduled release date, and then sit on the property for another half decade.

So wait, we get Mothra and Rodan in the Godzilla sequel. I forget if they already said Ghidorah would be in it. And then we finish the Godzilla trilogy with King Kong vs Godzilla???

I was really hoping for a good 2 parter for Ghidorah or maybe Destroyah, Megalon, Gigan, Mech Godzilla.... anyone other than Kong.

I guess Kong will be MUCH larger in his movies now too? Cause Godzilla could step on Kong as it is now.

I am not a big King Kong fan and King Kong vs Godzilla was horrible even for bad Godzilla standards. Besides the fact I don't see how Kong could stand a chance. I just don't see WHY they would battle since this version of Godzilla is a "good guy" again.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on September 16, 2015, 10:21:06 pm
They apparently have something up their sleeves to explain that:
Quote
A threshold problem is that Kong supposedly is much smaller than Godzilla. That fact was not lost on Universal. "There were funny comments about him having to be the size of the Empire State Building instead of hanging off of it," says a studio insider. But a source close to Tull says Legendary is confident it can come up with a rationale to explain how Kong and Godzilla can do battle — and possibly become allies.
I think they've got a handle it an it should turn out well. But Pacific Rim 2 is still indefinitely postponed and the universe is awful and I hate everything :brood:

Guillermo del Toro has responded: (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/17/pacific-rim-2-guillermo-del-toro) he says that he will still be turning in the script and budget as planned, and while he might make another movie in the meanwhile, he fully intends to finish the PR2. Hopefully he's right!

Rick and Morty has been consistently one of the best shows on tv right now.

Created by Justin Roiland it's a sci fi adutl comedy about a mad scientist and his family, traveling through alternate worlds.
The show is written in free form and animated after the dialogue is recorded.
The show is hyper violent, sexual and even gorey. Its crass and rude and hilarious.




Recently tumblr users started accusing him of being a pedophile, after approaching him claiming that fans shipped together grandpa and grandson, he replied that there would ofcourse be an alternate universe where they possibly dated, as a joke.

They went into outrage frenzy claiming they were shaking triggered over his horrid behaviour.
(https://archive.today/GPCk2/be6adb712fba2bd469bfd8872f04442a4bb6d44c.jpg)
Leading the author to clarify that while he was not a supporter of Pedophilia he did support domestic abuse and murder.

I watched every episode of season 1, but god knows why, it's just so annoying to watch.  I think I've grown to literally hate their entire burp to speach way of talking.  And, intellegent dog who took over the world aside, there wasn't much positively memorable to it.

But if anything, I'd figure they'd jump on the episode about the teacher's sexual fantasies with Morty's underage sister rather than this.  I'm not a fan of the show, or him much after reading that, but at least good on him sticking to his guns when they overreacted over nothing.

I get what he's trying to do, but man, it just doesn't click.  I don't know what else to call the Pluto rebranding episode but mean.  Unless I'm forgetting the conclusion, it's just basically one long set-up to tell people reminiscing Pluto's planetary status to shut up and get educated. (Though to be honest, I haven't seen the show since each episode aired, so I may just be focusing on the negatives I remember over any positives)

If you removed Rick from the equation entirely, I'd probably enjoy it a great deal more.

No, you see, what you don't understand is that Ripley was always destined to meet the Alien and survive! What this movie will reveal is that the Ripley bloodline is part of the makeup of the Xenomorphs and they have always been drawn to her as she is to them! It's all connected!

HBO is eyeing some kind of Watchmen-related series, overseen by visonary director Zack Synder (http://collider.com/watchmen-tv-series-hbo-zack-snyder/).

similarly, an animated Ghostbusters movie is in the works, for some reason.

Pacific Rim 2 has indeed been removed from Universal's production schedule, but they are still committed to making it, explaining: (http://comicbook.com/2015/09/29/pacific-rim-reportedly-removed-from-schedule-but-not-dead/) "[in order to] be the vanguard, fully-immersive experience the franchise deserves [the creative team needs time to] continue in its efforts to exceed the amazing experience of the 1st film."

so the first episode of the second season of Fargo airs tonight, and i am so freaking hyped for it. i loved both the movie and the TV show.
so are any of you guys fans of Fargo and as hyped as i am?

Loved watching Fargo last year, pretty sure I'm gonna love it this year. The way it's presented is so cinematic it's like watching a short movie every week.

Also Bruce Campbell as the Gipper! Who can beat that!

Waaaay more excited for an animated Ghostbusters flick than the live action one they are doing. That HBO Watchmen series...scares me. Although, on second thought, a Rorschach series on HBO could be epic, with the right actor/writers/director. So yeah...I dunno.

The widely acclaimed (and one of my personal favorite) comic, Y: The Last Man, is in development at FX (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/y-last-man-tv-series-831981) The rights reverted to creators Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, after years of attempts by New Line to produce a film version. I'm very excited about this news, not only because Y: The Last Man is great, but because Vaughan and Guerra will be spearheading the efforts. We came pretty close to a D.J Caruso directed, Shia Labeouf starring movie, but that bullet was thankfully dodged, and the series has a really good shot at being adapted well!

Fox is developing two X-Men TV shows (http://deadline.com/2015/10/x-men-marvel-series-legion-fx-pilot-hellfire-fox-1201582209/) (which spurred some rumors about the Fantastic Four maybe going back to Marvel, check it out over in the MCU thread). One of the shows is called Legion, based on the character of the same name, whose real name is David Haller, the son of Charles Xavier. Legion has vast psionic and reality warping powers that he is unable to control, due in part to his dissociative identity disorder. The character is a very fascinating one, and has been the subject of some very powerful stories. It's an unconventional but very interesting choice to turn into a TV show, although it like it would be pretty hard to get either Patrick Stewart or James McAvoy to make even a guest appearance on the show as Xavier, so maybe they'll just drop that aspect? I dunno.

and speaking of Fargo, the Legion show is being developed by Fargo creator Noah Hawley! This is shaping up to be very promising!!!

The other show is a bit weirder, it's about the Hellfire Club, the evil group of mutant assholes who like to play dress up in Victorian garb, who were the antagonists in X-Men: First Class movie. The show will likewise take place in the 60s, and will follow a super-spy who infiltrates the Club because they're trying to take over the world or something.

Because no one asked for it, Die Hard is getting a prequel (http://deadline.com/2015/10/die-hard-6-len-wiseman-lorenzo-dibonaventura-bruce-willis-prequel-1201582142/), but a prequel that will somehow allow Bruce Willis to still play John McClane (probably a flashback/flashforward structure or something, where McClane is faced with a threat from his past). This sounds pretty bad and continues the franchise's undercutting of what made the first movie so great. :-\

I guess Neil Gaiman probably would, if he had the rights. Too bad the book that launched Vertigo is not technically a Vertigo book and thus not fully creator owned!

... I think. I may be off base here, but I definitely know that, at the very least, Gaiman doesn't have the full set of rights, and that most other Vertigo books are creator owned and all media rights eventually revert back to the owners.

Speaking of comics getting turned into TV shows: Hack/Slash, a very fun horror comic, is getting a TV adaptation too. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/horror-comic-hack-slash-be-832451) The comic follows the adventures of a lady who, after surviving a slasher villain's rampage, decides to hunt down other slashers herself. Joining her is Vlad, her friend and partner in crime, and Vlad himself is basically sorta like Jason Voorhees, but good? This plot summary is really bad and reductive, sorry; the actual comic is very smart and cool!

Oh cool finally Star Trek really works best on TV and I am somewhat unnerved by the whole "exclusive to CBS's lame streaming service" I'm hopeful that because they consider the show/franchise important enough to launch said streaming service that they'll protect the show after Netflix and Hulu inevitably devour the service. Hopefully it turns out well...

The new Muppets show is getting a creative reboot. (https://deadline.com/2015/11/the-muppets-showrunner-bob-kushell-exit-kristin-newman-reboot-1201606360/) A new showrunner is taking over after numerous production problems that seem to stem mostly from the co-creator of the show (Bill Prady), who spends most of his time working on The Big Bang Theory and whenever he visited the Muppet set he ordered changes to scripts and so on, causing a lot chaos for an already trouble production. It sure seems like the original showrunner (Bob Kushell) is being blamed for problems caused mostly by Prady; Kushell was very well liked by the production staff. I dunno this all sounds really really bad, and not a very encouraging sign for the future of this show.

Fringe turned out great and I believe that had the full diabolical duo involved

Deadpool http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/11/09/ryan-reynolds-continues-deadpools-social-media-invasion-on-hugh-jackmans-twitter-page/
Twitter silliness (can't even make out what he's saying), but more importantly, the article mentions reshoots, and since Hugh Jackman is posting a video of Deadpool!Ryan Reynolds on his Twitter, there's the question if Jackman is on the set for the reshoots and if Wolverine will make an appearance (or if Reynolds just sent him the video).
Also, reshoots when the movie comes out in February ? Really ? Don't fuck this up, Fox ! OTOH a Wolverine cameo would be pretty obvious and I don't know why it wouldn't already be in.

Fast and the Furious is gonna have some spinoff movies (http://variety.com/2015/film/news/fast-and-furious-spinoffs-1201641326/) (like one focused on The Rock, whose character's name I cannot remember but might as well be "the Rock", I mean it can't be better than that, so why bother?)

Memento is getting a remake, for some reason. (http://variety.com/2015/film/news/memento-remake-christopher-nolan-1201641515/) This feels vaguely ironic.

Prometheus 2 is getting re-titled again, to "Alien: Covenant"; plot details have also been released
 (http://www.vulture.com/2015/11/ridley-scotts-alien-covenant-prometheus-2.html)
Quote
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
no Noomi Rapace? That's lame, and that synopsis doesn't exactly sound super promising; not really what I expected from a Prometheus sequel. Too bad Alien 5 got canned for this :(

They look in-tone with the rest of the movie's aesthetics.

I will say, I laughed a lot in the previous one, it has a very light tone, and that's the turtles I know and love. Maybe not the original canon ones, with gritty adult plots and stuff, but I was a kid and I had toys and a Nintendo, these are my turtles.

Also, that black doctor... could it be that Baxter Stockman has finally got rid of his white washing?

I will say, I laughed a lot in the previous one, it has a very light tone, and that's the turtles I know and love. Maybe not the original canon ones, with gritty adult plots and stuff, but I was a kid and I had toys and a Nintendo, these are my turtles.

afaik the gritty stuff, etc.. at least in the first series as supossed to be parody-like.

The origin of the concept was definitely rooted in parody (of what was popular in comics back then, like Frank Miller's Daredevil, Cerebus, and X-Men [and specifically its recent, first spinoff The New Mutants, about a new class of teenage mutants]), and there are still elements that are parodies/references to that stuff. Like, Daredevil fights against the villainous ninja clan called the Hand, and the Turtles fight against the villainous ninja clan called the Foot. Daredevil's master is an old guy named Stick, the Turtle's master is an old rat named Splinter, etc. Their origin is even shared with Daredevil: the same radioactive material that blinds Matt Murdock is knocked into the sewer and mutates the turtles!!

But the comics themselves were played pretty much straight, IIRC.

The main problem I personally had with the previous movie in hindsight (besides the obvious like Michael Bay, Megan "I'm a wooden board" Fox and the designs of the Turtles themselves) was the tone being all over the place. It didn't know if it wanted to be like every previous Turtle movie or "Dark Knight" serious. Hopefully they take care of that in this one since it looks a lot more promising.

i thought the previous one was too sexualized for a turtles movie, so it didnt seem to know if it wanted to be a silly movie or a serious movie with sex oozing of every pore. The turtles were frankly over detailed.

Michelangelo talking about his boners was cringe tastic even before it was revealed April was their old owner.

The sequence recreating the opening was pretty cool tho.

I'm with most of you guys. I hate to say it but this looks very fun! I hated how the Turtles looked but hated more that they didn't act like surfer dudes anymore. Now they act gangsta. That should have just been for Raphael. The 1st movie didn't hold my interest. I barely remember anything from it.

I like the first few seconds when they're falling but once they fall into the sewer and the camera goes completely fucking nuts, spinning around like a maniac, it almost gives me motion sickness. And there's no reason for the camera to make those movements, all they do is obscure the action and make the geography of the scene incoherent! And it's an all-CGI shot, so there's literally no reason why it had to move like that!

I actually got pretty excited by the trailer! It feels almost exactly like the shot in the arm the movie franchise needed; no obvious rehashing of older, better movies. No disturbingly overdetailed destruction porn of Earth cities getting destroyed! An return to exploration ("this is the frontier pushing back" !!!). It looks like a real hoot, and I'm pretty optimistic about it!

Their ship is destroyed, the crew stranded and enslaved, leaving only the intrepid captain, his most trusted officers, and the help of a [fellow captive?/native?] fighting to thwart the villain's plans and save the day.

Sounds like a damn fine Trek plot to me.  Hopefully the movie itself doesn't fuck up a perfectly fine setup by trying too hard to be Guardians of the Galaxy.

SW7 has re-ignited the dormant love audiences had for Harrison Ford. They need to play it smart, it doesn't have to be about Inca Ninjas and whip-swings ... it could easily be a mystery / exploration flick like NiCage's National Treasure.

And then all the future movies have just cameos of Harrison Ford, or less? I dunno!

Mitch Hurwitz talks Arrested Development season 5: (http://deadline.com/2016/01/arrested-development-season-5-making-a-murderer-donald-trump-1201678327/) it's gonna be a "serialized murder mystery", which is very much in vogue right now (so many things of that nature/genre are super popular right now: Serial, The Jinx, Making a Murderer, etc), although Hurwitz says he mapped out the season long before all of that. And speaking of how the long delay between season 4 and the still in development season 5, it sounds like some plotlines under consideration for season 5 are getting dropped, such as: George Sr. transitioning to a woman (dropped because of Jeffery Tambor's lead role as Maura Pfefferman on Transparent), or the plotline about Bluth family's Mexican border wall in which they planned to get the Mexican government to pay for it, which has since been usurped by Trump.

Because of all this, Hurwitz hopes to get the fifth season filmed and aired before the presidential election, which seems like a bit of a stretch, since there hasn't been any scripts written yet. And the biggest thing holding up production, the difficulty in aligning all the actors timetables because they're all off doing other things, hasn't really let up at all. Hopefully they get it all figured out!

I think Besson could do a really cool job with Mad Max, personally. He's got a very distinctive voice and style, and I think the reason the series is so beloved and successful is because of Miller's own unique voice and style. I just can't imagine a future movie that just apes Miller's style completely would be very good, so going in another direction completely is probably the best way forward.

The great graphic novel Sexcastle, by Kyle Starks, is getting a movie adaptation (http://deadline.com/2016/01/sexcastle-workaholics-kyle-newacheck-blake-anderson-russo-brothers-fox-1201682378/) courtesy of Workaholics' Karl Hevachek (who will direct it) and Blake Anderson (who will star).

This movie absolutely must include the best comeback line in the history of the English language if it wants to be any good:

I think Besson could do a really cool job with Mad Max, personally. He's got a very distinctive voice and style, and I think the reason the series is so beloved and successful is because of Miller's own unique voice and style. I just can't imagine a future movie that just apes Miller's style completely would be very good, so going in another direction completely is probably the best way forward.
Besson's a fantastic director, but I don't feel like Mad Max (particularly Tom Hardy's) plays to Besson's strengths well. Besson's best work is in presenting exposition through dialogue in unique ways, like that sequence in Fifth Element where Leeloo's explaining where the stones are while Zorg's finding out he got duped. That, and his action scenes are very heavy in imagery and comedic timing, which doesn't really fit Mad Max's frenetic balls to the wall pace.

What I really want to see Besson take on is a good heist flick. The Oceans movies already played with Besson-style exposition, it'd be great to see what the original can manage.

George Miller Will Direct More Mad Max Movies After All

"On the quote that he wouldn’t make any more Mad Max: “That was a completely garbled interview. I was in New York and it was so noisy and the journalist was asking me questions on a red carpet at the National Board of Review. She completely got the wrong fragments of information that were just not true. I said no, [another ‘Mad Max’ movie] will not be next, and she took that to mean I never wanted to make another ‘Mad Max.’ It won’t necessarily be next, but I have two more stories.”

On his plans for more movies: “What happened to Max after ‘Fury Road’? What happened before ‘Fury Road’? What happened to the other characters? Those stories are there — probably not as the next film but the film after. I’d like to do one of them. We’ll see. As John Lennon said, life is what happens when you’re making other plans. There are so many other directors out there. People are directing younger and younger. They’re getting a real sense of cinema very, very early. There are some great directors out there.”

On his next movie being smaller: “I’ve got something a bit smaller before we go back out into the wasteland — something that’s contemporary that we can get through fairly quickly. And something with not too much technical difficulty. Something more performance-based and so on, just to clear the exhaust.”"

That's kinda why I'd be interested to see him do a Mad Max movie, since it would be so profoundly different from the others.

but it thankfully looks like Miller's gonna keep making them!

Really not looking forward to this.  With how uptight today's parents are about what's allowed on children's entertainment, there's no way they'll be able to do justice to how obscene and irreverent most of those shows were.

Hell, Rocko's Modern Life was practically a case study on how little effort could be put into hiding all of the sex jokes and profanity (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq70wzCDnGU) while still sneaking them past the censors.  They'll never get away with that nowadays.

I think we need to spend more time on this New Fifty Scoob thing:
(http://i.imgur.com/RpqBpEz.jpg)
here's the full cover, featuring randomly a child Velma, and the full reveal of Scooby Doo's weird monocle thing; the cover seems to imply that Scooby will no longer talk (because that's unrealistic) but instead has a techno-monocle that translates his thoughts into emoji. :-\

Weirdly, the EW article announcing all this didn't list any of the creative teams for these books, but Dan DiDio has since tweeted them out:
Scooby Doo Apocalypse, a modern reinvention of a classic children's property that is set in a post-apocalyptic world, a totally unique idea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterlife_with_Archie), will by written by Keith Giffen and drawn by Howard Porter. Jim Lee's involvement seems to be limited to the character designs and that shockingly bad piece of cover art.

(http://i.imgur.com/jTCyrOW.png)
Wacky Race Land, features designs by Mark Sexton (a designer for Mad Max: Fury Road) and is written by Ken Pontac

(http://i.imgur.com/gdQ1NWC.jpg)
Meet the Flintstones, with designs by Amanda Conner and story by Mark Russell (the writer of the incredible Prez comic)

(http://i.imgur.com/28LHI3O.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/LiNODw4.jpg)
Future Quest, which is a big crossover between Hanna-Barbera's action characters (Space Ghost, Jonny Quest, the Herculoids, and the like), written by Jeff Parker, penciled by Doc Shaner, and color art by Jordie Bellaire; an absolutely stunning creative team. This is definitely a book to get excited about!

WACKY RACELAND – Take The Ant Hill Mob, Penelope Pitstop and Dick Dastardly, mix in a healthy dose of "Mad Max" and you get this dark and gritty take on Hanna-Barbera's "Wacky Races," courtesy of writer Ken Pontac (REBOOT, HAPPY TREE FRIENDS) and artist Leonardo Manco (HELLBLAZER), with vehicle designs by Mark Sexton (MAD MAX: FURY ROAD). A time of hope and innocence with Utopia at the finish line has given way to planetary Armageddon and a desert wasteland full of radioactive lakes, nanotech dust storms, and cannibalistic mutants. Against this backdrop, the Wacky Racers and their sentient vehicles continue their contest, but now the competition is for survival, and there can only be one winner when the checkered flag falls.

OK, DC, time to stop with that absinthe. You are way past high. :|

The Flinstones will probably be good, it's got a great writer on it (although it sadly looks like Amanda Conner will only be doing the designs, not also drawing the book). Wacky Races Fury Road sounds completely insane and it might turn out awesome, maybe? The Scooby Doo book looks pretty bad, but with Keith Giffen and Howard Porter as the creative team, it might be something special? I dunno.

Not exactly. The format is the same: 11 minute episodes instead of the more traditional half-hour, but it doesn't sound at all like a comedy:
Quote
Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman lead the DC Comics Super Heroes against their most infamous foes in adventures packed with relentless thrills, fun and action. No need to wait for the good stuff to start, each eleven-minute episode jumps in with lightning-paced action and heroics. Whether defending the Earth, facing invaders from space, or battling the bizarre forces of magic, the always-rotating team of Justice League heroes, are up to any challenge.
Which suggests it's basically non-stop action, which is sorta interesting, I guess.
(http://i.imgur.com/YNAGxcO.jpg)
I like the designs too; the Superman design is better than any other DC has offered in recent years, nothing beats the classic, of course, because that outside underwear helps break up the overwhelming blue color and removing it throws off the balance. The vibrant belt helps a bit, though. Wonder Woman looks pretty good but I'm still bumed the fuck out whenever I see her carrying around a sword and shield like it's supposed to be the default.

also John Constantine in hanging out in the background with all the other characters appearing in the series? What the fuck, are they seriously gonna put Constantine in a children's show??? o_O

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: lui on February 02, 2016, 06:42:58 am
because kids from like 10-15 usually watch cartoon network, so making a show that appeals to that demographic is a smart move, CN doesn't really care about the quality of the shows nowadays, as long as it gets views and decent ratings they'll keep it on the air, Beware the Batman had fantastic quality but it didn't bring in enough interest to garner a new season, atleastthe fact that they hired the best VA's for it (Mark Hamill as the Joker!) make it appeal somewhat to the adult audiences, so that can help also.
If you want something with the animation quality and storytelling to that of Young Justice, go watch the Home Video stuff, that's what they're made for after all.

Back in 2013, it was looking to be a dark time to be a Star Trek fan. Star Trek Into Darkness just came out, and was almost completely rejected and reviled by the fanbase. It looked as if the franchise would continue on only as big budget, high action blockbusters that put a low priority on introspection and deeper meaning, never to return to the franchise's true home, TV. While there had been good Trek movies of that nature, it was still a disappointment that the real meat of the franchise had apparently been abandoned. In this dark period, Bryan Fuller, a showrunner an TV writer of Hannibal and Pushing Daisies fame, who made his name writing on Deep Space Nine and Voyager, mentioned that he had ideas for a new Trek series, done in a more traditional style compared to the Abrams reboot. The show he came up with in his head would focus on the U.S.S. Reliant, with the Captain played by Angela Basset and the First Officer played by Rosario Dawson. But of course, it was little more than a flight of fancy. Still, Trek fans often wistfully talk with delight about the idea of Fuller doing a Star Trek show, knowing that it would never happen...

Friends, sometimes dreams do come true. Bryan Fuller will showrun the new Star Trek series that was announced a few months ago. (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/09/star-trek-bryan-fuller) :D

Deadpool
both advanced screenings were completely packed
Starts right with the opening credits, and it's already so good people started clapping right there.
Ultra violent, in the first half it feels at the limit of being a bit too much, but then it calms down. Just a little. The leaked test footage + trailer with the highway gun fight with all the cars and stuff ? That wasn't even half of that fight.
Best action in a comic book movie. Best lines too of course, but seriously best fights, it's crazy good, no holding back.

looks like Deadpool is possibly going to be one of the highest selling X-Men movies to date

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-ryan-reynolds-deadpool-864451

Quote
The irreverent film is shattering all expectations and making life tough for anything in its path, including 'Zoolander 2' and 'How to Be Single,' at the long Valentine's Day/Presidents Day weekend after grabbing an A CinemaScore.

It's summertime in February at the North American box office.

Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool earned a record $47.5 million on Friday, putting in course for an estimated three-day gross of $117 million and a stunning four-day haul of $130 million over the long Valentine's Day/Presidents Day weekend — among the top 10 comic book openings of all time and the biggest ever for an R-rated title. (Only 10 superhero movies have crossed $100 million in any given three-day weekend.)

Deadpool is a sizeable victory for Reynolds and Fox, who spent 11 years debating whether to make the irreverent movie, since it's one of the rare Marvel comic book movies to be rated R. Heading into the holiday weekend, tracking had suggested it would open to $65 million or $70 million over the long holiday weekend. But estimates kept being revised upwards on Friday as grosses poured.

Fox made Deadpool with Marvel Enterprises via its licensing deals for the X-Men universe of characters, and, along with Reynolds, spent months aggressively marketing the movie. (Sometimes, the campaign was as irreverent and out there as the film itself). The net budget is $58 million, a modest number for a major studio superhero title. Deadpool is playing in 3,558 theaters, including Imax locations.

Deadpool will easily claim the top Presidents Day opening of all time, blowing away the $94 million earned last year by Fifty Shades of Grey over the four-day weekend, as well as the top February launch in history. Friday's tally — the biggest ever for February — included $12.7 million in Thursday night previews, a record for an R-rated film, as well as for the month.

A passion project for Reynolds, the irreverent, tongue-in-cheek movie follows Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool), a foul-mouthed, witty mercenary who was bestowed with special powers after undergoing an experimental treatment for cancer. The actor first appeared as the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In Deadpool — which is outpacing the openings of all previous X-Men films — the superhero seeks revenge against those who subjected him to the treatment.

In terms of comic book openings, Deadpool looks to share rarefied air and place No. 8 behind the two The Avengers movies, Iron Man 3, the last two Dark Knight films, Spider-Man 3 and Iron Man 2. Those it stands to beat include Man of Steel, Spider-Man, X-Men: The Last Stand, Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

All of those were rated PG-13. Deadpool's rating is considered a "hard" R, and theaters across the country will likely be monitoring ticket buyers to make sure those under 17 years of age unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian don't gain entry to the film, since teenagers are in the habit of seeing Marvel superhero movies on their own.

Reynolds' film received an A CinemaScore from all age groups. And 92 percent said they would recommend it to a friend, while 76 percent checked off the excellent box, according to comScore's PostTrak exit polling service.

Deadpool is also off to an impressive start overseas, where it could earn north of $80 million for the weekend. Directed by Tim Miller, the movie also stars Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T.J. Miller and Gina Carano.

At these numbers, Deadpool is no doubt making life tough for the other two holiday offerings, Zoolander 2 and How to Be Single.

And that is very well deserved. They did something studios rarely do nowadays, which is taking a risk.
A well calculated risk, sure, but still a risk. And it pleases me seeing it pay off this nicely, for other studios might follow suit.

I just hope that it inspires more superhero movies to break out of the safe PG13 market

Post by: Byakko on February 13, 2016, 10:14:49 pm
Kinda doubtful, in the first place not many (popular) superheroes are made with an R rating in mind. You could do something with someone in the vein of the Punisher, but the balance between popularity and R rating environment is tight.

Deadpool continued its box office dominance all weekend long, coming in first with an estimated $135 million.

The movie had the biggest opening day ever for an R-rated film as well.

20th Century Fox's new comic book film set a record high for both President's Day weekend and the month of February, eclipsing Fifty Shades of Grey's previous leading debut of $85.2 million.

On top of that, Deadpool's opening weekend now stands as the biggest ever for an R-rated film, outpacing The Matrix Reloaded's $91.8 million debut.

Deadpool earned an additional $125 million overseas, bringing its total global opening to a massive $260 million

If this inspires Marvel Studios to do a R-rated movie I will love life forever

The absolutely wonderful but low-rated Review is getting a third season.

Big shakeup for Fox's X-Men movie franchise today: Fox pulled Gambit from its calendar, and the film currently has no release date, which isn't ideal news for the already troubled production. (http://screencrush.com/fox-pulls-gambit-dates-two-more/) Furthermore, Fox has added two untitled Marvel movies for the next two years; Deadpool 2 seems like an obvious candidate for one of those, and the other could very well be an X-Force movie starring Deadpool and characters introduced in Deadpool 2 (like Cable and Domino).

There's no way a second movie with the same characters would come out 3 months later, at best Deadpool would be a cameo. But they can totally go for something R-rated. W3 ? Pool can still cameo.
Pool 2 in october 2017 sounds a bit early, I dunno. Unless they just blaze through it and already know what they want to do (which might be the case)
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread

I wouldn't be surprised if Fox rushed through it that fast and fast-tracked X-Force to come out only 3 months after. It's doable if both feature around the same level of special effects as the first Deadpool, as those are gonna be the biggest time expense.

Post by: Jmorphman on March 01, 2016, 12:25:23 am
I'm not sure; Fox wanted Gambit to be their new Wolverine, a new franchise to center the larger X-Men franchise around. They found a bankable star who really wanted to play the character in Channing Tatum, and everything seemed to be working out well for them, so much so that they were rushing the movie into development for an October release this year. But Tatum clashed with the studio on several creative choices, and also wasn't particularly interested in becoming the new face of the X-Men franchise for the next decade or two. At one point he actually walked away from the movie, but Fox quickly smoothed things out and got him back on the project in the same week. Things seemed to be better from that point on, and production was scheduled to start sometime this year, but it seems like (according to various rumors and leaks) there continued to be some creative differences on the project, all of which wasn't helped by having that October release date looming.

Fox has pointedly phrased Gambit's disappearance from their calendar as them pushing the release date back, but it doesn't really look great. Deadpool is doing gangbusters for them, why would they bother trying to push out a Gambit movie that would only be a one-off, when they already have a brand new face to center the X-franchise around?

That movie keeps looking like a bigger and bigger trainwreck


When it was first announced they commited a huge mistake of having photos taken while visiting terminally ill children in full costume. The set is out there and it made the rounds looking awful.
Then the author kept talking about it to sites as being the "ALL FEMALE ghostbusters" until it stuck. After he started telling them that it was not "ALL FEMALE ghosbusters" but the "REAL Ghostbusters" creating even more weird press around it.


They shouldve just made a sequel and treated it as such, with the interval there was between the movies it wouldve made sense to have a wholenew cast without having to angle the movie as an "all female" movie, even if the cast was wholly female.

i agree with you guys. what really hurts this movie is that it's a remake. this wouldn't be so bad if it all of those women were new characters and were trained by one of the old team.
like even if they were new male actors, they just can't take the place of the old team. that would be like remaking the old Star Wars with all new actors taking over the same old characters.

The surprise success of Deadpool has prompted other studios to do what they always do whenever they sniff a new trend developing: making fumbling, awkward attempts at tapping into the latest zeitgeist. Warner Brothers suddenly rushed out an R-rated cut of Batman V Superman; Fox itself is doing an R-rated Wolverine movie, and has shelved its Gambit movie to make room for (probably) an X-Force movie.

And now it's Sony's turn! They searched through their properties and found a superhero spinoff that could be developed into an R-rated franchise: Venom! (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/spider-man-spinoff-venom-revived-872844) They're getting development started on a Venom movie that will be completely unconnected to the upcoming rebooted Spider-Man movies they're working on with Marvel. That means Marvel will have no oversight in the development of the movie, nor will it be able to reference Spider-Man in any way. But don't worry, the producers in charge of this new Venom moive are the very same fine people who produced all the previous Spider-Man movies, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, who were reportedly the cause of nearly everything that was bad about those movies (so much so that Marvel demanded that they have no involvement in the new Spider-Man franchise)!

in other dumb-sounding Sony news, they're pushing forward with a 21 Jump Street/Men In Black crossover movie (https://variety.com/2016/film/news/23-jump-street-men-in-black-james-bobin-1201715020/). When that project was first rumored, it seemed pretty exciting, but as more was revealed about it, the less fun it sounded: Phil Lord and Chris Miller are gonna be busy helming the Han Solo spinoff movie for Disney, so their involvement will be very limited. Furthermore, neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones will be returning to their roles. Instead the studio is hoping to cast younger actors in the roles to set up a new, rebooted MIB franchise. :-\

While I'm up for a Venom movie (in due time, after like... 2-3 spider-man movies to set him up properly.) This makes no damn sense.

Warner Brother's planned movie adaptation of famed DC/Vertigo comic The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman, hasn't had a lot of news since it was announced Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be directing and possibly starring. The past two days have brought a one-two punch of bad news: a new screenwriter (Eric Heisserer) was hired to adapt the widely acclaimed and textually complex material. Heisserer's past credits include Final Destination 5 and the Nightmare on Elm Street remake... which isn't exactly the greatest resume, to say the least.

Furthermore, today Gordon-Levitt revealed that he would be leaving the project (https://www.facebook.com/JoeGordonLevitt/posts/1216006645089664), citing creative differences.

so yeah, things don't really look good right now :-\

Can you talk about your research for taking on this role? I mean did you find any comic stories that really resonated with you or anything like that?

SHIPP: Oh yeah. I read a bunch of comics. The one comic that I didn’t get to read was Storm’s introduction to X-Men. That’s because it’s worth like $30,000 and I was like, “Okay, is there like some online pictures of it that I could see?” And they’re like, “No, that’s why it’s worth $30,000″. I’m like, “Oh, okay, got it”. I did like a whole bunch of back story on it. I read a lot of the newer comics because there are a lot of newer comics that are doing a lot of her back story, especially her stuff with T’Challa, and I wanted to know who she was. In my mind because of the way that the script is, in comparison to her comic story line, it’s a little but different. So in my mind, like she and T’Challa were king and queen of Africa when they were like 13, and that’s the only way that I could make it work. They were young king and queens, it happens sometimes, whatever.

The absolutely phenomenal Vertigo comic Scalped, by Jason Aaron and R.M. Guéra, is officially getting ordered to pilot at WGN America. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/dc-comics-scalped-wgn-americas-872929) The series had been in development over there, but things are finally moving forward.
Quote
Scalped is described as a modern-day crime story set in the world of a Native American Indian reservation. It explores power, loyalty and spirituality in a community led by the ambitious chief Lincoln Red Crow as he reckons with Dashiell Bad Horse, who has returned home after years away from the reservation.
Sounds like a very faithful adaptation, I can't wait!

2D animation all the way! Only thing is that I kinda doubt Alan Young will be Scrooge. Dude's 96 years old. Granted Disney's pretty good at finding sound-a-likes (case in point: Brian George's take on Flintheart Glomgold in Ducktales Remastered, covering the deceased Hal Smith), but Scrooge's voice is very distinctive!

That new live action adaptation of The Tick is moving forward: it just got a pilot order from Amazon.

The new Tick series will be a parody of event-driven cinematic universe style superhero stories (http://screencrush.com/amazon-the-tick-reboot-darker-grounded/), and also will also "be darker and more grounded", which sounds weird/worrying for a character like the Tick.

The Gambit movie is officially delayed; the director is going off to shoot another project, and the script is going to get significant rewrites. (http://screencrush.com/gambit-movie-delay/) No word on when Fox plans to get it back into production.

Cast announcements for the New Mutants movie is starting to trickle out. (http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/exclusive-are-these-josh-boones-first-three-new-mutants)  Maisie Williams (of Game of Thrones fame) will be playing Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane, the Scottish mutant who can shapeshift into a wolf form.  Anya Taylor-Joy (who was great in The Witch) will play Illyana Rasputin/Magik, (she's Colossus's younger sister, but I dunno how that relationship is gonna work out here) who has the mutant power to teleport, a semi-demonic sorceress, and wielder of the Soulsword.

The other members of the New Mutants team are currently not cast. Those characters are Sam Gurthie/Cannonball, Roberto da Costa/Sunspot (this character appeared in the future scenes of Days of Future Past but that's probably gonna get ignored), and Dani Moonstar/Mirage; a pretty good and mostly complete sampling of the original New Mutants roster. I would like to see Xi'an Coy Manh/Karma too though, not only to have the complete team but because Karma is a really great character.

Also confirmed for the film are James McAvoy as Professor Xavier, and Alexandra Shipp as Storm, who will apparently be joining the team?!?! I mean, that sorta makes sense (this movie takes place in the 80s, presumably after X-Men Apocalypse, so she's still a teenager), but still!

Seems to be the opposite. SJW just hate the shooting of Barbara itself, and this is doing it straight, complete with naked pics, although this says it does add a prologue that focuses on Barbara and give more value to her own loss. It might be enough for decent feminists ("she's not just somebody's daughter", she herself is affected too), but it won't mean anything for the SJWs.

I'm just curious to see how they handle the ambiguous ending. They could drown it all in the rain and then fade all the sounds out, but that would completely lose the possibility that he killed him.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread

IDK it just looks too similar to DC's current animation house style, with none of the finesse and stylization of the DCAU designs, and none of the detailed linework of Brian Bolland's art. :-\

The Adam Wingard-directed, live action adaptation of Death Note has moved from Warner Bros to Netflix, who will pick up the project. (http://www.thewrap.com/adam-wingards-death-note-moving-from-warner-bros-to-netflix-exclusive/) This movie is already generating a huge amount of excitement: within hours of Warner dropping the movie, nearly every studio head reached out to Wingard to try and secure the project for their own. All of which sounds pretty dang promising for the quality of the movie!

and speaking of Warner Bros, they seem to be thrown into a panic after Batman V Superman started to stall at the box office, and that disappointment is following their disastrous series of flops (Pan, Jupiter Ascending, In the Heart of the Sea, etc) from last year. Which is why there was a report from yesterday that Warner was considering reducing the amount of movies they release (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/warner-bros-mulls-releasing-films-881265); a story many sites initially reported as being an indication that Warner had lost faith with their DC Comics movies and was quietly cancelling many of them. But that's not actually what the initial story said: Warner is in fact adding 2 DC movies; it's just reducing the non-tentpole franchise movies it makes. And thus, promising movies (like the IT adaptation by Cary Fukunaga, or Death Note, or even that Sandman movie Joseph Gordon-Levitt was working on) are getting their budgets slashed and thrown into chaos before they get shuffled off to other studios because Warner is no longer interested.

Which is pretty worrying! Warner has always had a reputation as a studio willing to make riskier, more auteur-driven movies, so it's pretty disappointing to see them respond to the relatively tepid response BvS has been getting by doubling down on the very factors that caused BvS to happen. :-\

also, that terrible fucking Lucifer show, the one that's a mockery of the Sandman and Lucifer comics in which he appeared and starred in, is getting a second season. (http://comicbook.com/2016/04/07/lucifer-renewed-for-season-2/) Guess Constantine should've been a police procedural if it wanted to last longer than a season.

in better news, Charlize Theron has officially joined the cast of Fast 8!!! (http://deadline.com/2016/04/fast-8-charlize-theron-mad-max-fury-road-fast-and-the-furious-1201733656/) :D

Wuuuuuuoooo my god, this is too fucking good to be true... I can't believe she's actually been confirmed, hopefully she plays Statham's sister.

Crazy I got to see The Italian Job a couple weeks ago... which also had Theron and Statham, while also being directed by F.Gary Gray. After seeing it though I'm sure he'll do a good job on Fast 8.

Because it's awesome and the last 3 movies were really successful :)

Like okay, I don't think they are masterpieces of cinema, but these movies are great at what they are set out to be. They are supposed to be nothing but over the top fun action movies in with car chases, fight scenes, ridiculous stunts, and among other things like the chemistry between actors with the humor and such... they know exactly what these movies are, and are not trying make it into anything else other than being really fun movies.

I dunno why people have this thing where they just wish for something popular to die... it's a franchise that's enjoyed by many people, let them have fun :D

The Fast and Furious movies have some of the best shot and directed action sequences of the last decade, and are very knowingly over-the-top and fun.

Indeed, they are the human race's highest artistic achievement.

Doug Liman will return to direct the Edge of Tomorrow sequel. (http://deadline.com/2016/04/tom-cruise-the-edge-of-tomorrow-sequel-joe-shrapnel-anna-w-1201733530/) The first movie ended pretty much perfectly, so I'm kinda worried about how well a sequel will work? Hopefully it all works out!

I dunno, I just don't really feel like the two agents are comparable to James Bond, or Batman, or other characters that have gone through multiple actors; the appeal of the MIB agents rests almost entirely on the performances of their respective actors, not so much the characters themselves. I just feel like trying to cast new people in the roles would just produce something similar to Josh Brolin's performance as a young Agent K in MIB3: which was basically just a Tommy Lee Jones impression. And that's pretty fun, but wouldn't really work on its own, much less as the start of a brand new MIB franchise.

a writeup of a new animated movie by Sony Pictures said:
“Inside your phone, there’s a secret world– and we enter through the text app where we discover Emoji Valley, where the industrious Emoji live and work,” Belson said of the film, which is due in theaters sometime in 2017.

By the end of the first act, the Emojis wind up on the home screen (“the world of the wallpaper”) and find that each individual app contains its own massive world to be discovered. Therein lies the brand opportunity, as the characters visit each world as colored by hallmarks of real-life apps.

Justin Lin did an interview for Star Trek Beyond and it sounds pretty dang promising (http://trekmovie.com/2016/04/11/coming-onto-trek-a-rescue-mission-says-beyond-director-justin-lin-how-beyond-will-honor-leonard-nimoy-lins-hope-for-trek-on-tv/); like seriously, every answer is exactly what I'd want to hear from someone making a new Star Trek movie:
Quote
That conversation went a lot of different places, and one of the most interesting places was the Enterprise itself. I remember watching Star Trek as a kid and saying, ‘That’s a cool looking space ship, but it looks really lanky. Is it built for combat?’ It took me a while to realize that they’re not out there to fight. It’s an explorer’s ship, so of course it looks like that. Just having that discourse about what it means to be on the Enterprise provides us with issues we can explore on a character level.
[...]
As a kid, one of the coolest things about Star Trek was that they’d be discovering new planets and species. So that became the driving force for the movie. Let’s bring in things you haven’t seen in the Star Trek universe.
[...]
[The villain of the movie, played by Idris Elba] has a very valid point of view, and it goes back to our original concept of deconstructing Star Trek and the Federation itself. And to do that, we have to question what the Federation is about, why it exists, and is it truly a good thing?”
I'm getting pretty pumped for this movie!

and speaking of Star Trek, there's a rumor out about the nature of the upcoming TV show: BirthMoviesDeath claims that the new Trek show will take place in the original timeline, in the period between Star Trek VI and The Next Generation. (http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/04/13/the-new-star-trek-tv-show-will-be-set-before-the-next-generation)

I'm not sure how reliable this rumor is, but it seems pretty plausible! The whole thing about how its set in the original timeline certainly raises a few eyebrows, but it makes a good amount of sense: CBS ultimately owns the rights to the entire franchise, but Paramount Pictures has the movie rights (that split has been one of the biggest reasons its taken so long to get another Trek series going). They managed to work out a deal, but they might have decided to stay out of one another's way by setting the new show in the original continuity. And the pre-TNG period is a pretty ripe area to be explored, and would keep the series from looking too much like a cheaper version of the films (as it would if they were trying to do a TOS era series, like the movies).

There's also a rumor out about how the show is set up to be more of an anthology, so this very well could only hold for the first season!

Someone should finally prohibit Warner Bros from doing any movies period.
A few bad films doesn't erase the huge amount of great movies Warner Bros has made and continues to make. :-\

From his sunken throne, deep in the treacherous depths of the ocean, James Cameron declared today that he would issue forth FOUR more Avatar movies (http://variety.com/2016/film/news/james-cameron-avatar-1201753774/), cruelly adding yet another movie to a franchise that was originally planned for three.

ok but seriously though this is insane, Avatar made 2 billion dollars (which is nuts, don't get me wrong), but it's almost completely vanished from pop culture. (http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2014/12/18/avatar-became-the-highest-grossing-film-of-all-time-while-leaving-no-pop-culture-footprint/#6c498a9f284b) It's this weird aberration that feels like it didn't even exist.

Post by: Byakko on April 15, 2016, 03:17:26 am
The original Avatar worked so well because it had great CGI, great sceneries, and most importantly, the 3D. Now, the interest for 3D movies has decreased a lot - there's no big movie that doesn't have a 3D version, sure, but it's really not a big selling point anymore. It'll probably still be somewhere in the top of the podium for the quality of the 3D, but even so it still won't surprise people nearly as much as it did the first time.
So basically the only thing these movies will have for them is the landscapes (because CGI are just an obvious thing to have). And... well, today, if that's what you want to do, just do it in a video game, man ! You don't make a movie (let alone 4) for that, but it still grabs a lot of interest if it's done in a game. Hell, toss that shit in Oculus Rift and you have a new cash printing machine.
That's just completely failing to catch the right timing. In the first place, who the hell commits to 4 movies in a row anymore without probing for success one movie at a time. Unless it's called Star Wars.

So uh, about that Ghost in the Shell movie: (http://screencrush.com/ghost-in-the-shell-whitewashing-scarlett-johnasson-vfx/)
Quote
According to multiple independent sources close to the project, Paramount and DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests that would’ve altered Scarlett Johansson in post-production to “shift her ethnicity” and make the Caucasian actress appear more Asian in the film.

It’s the latest, and most extreme, case of “beauty work,” the new trend in Hollywood to discreetly use visual effects to tweak an actor’s appearance, making them thinner, younger or stronger. The Ghost in the Shell tests were conducted by Lola VFX, the same company that aged up (and down) Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and is considered the industry leader in so-called beauty work. Though the tests were requested by the production team, once they were developed and reviewed, the idea was rejected “immediately,” says an insider.
That's fucking nuts and almost cartoonishly stupid. Jesus christ. I mean sure, they decided against it, but jeez louise, to even consider the idea. :stare:

pokemon? what a great idea, especially because the last time hollywood tried to make a movie from a famous japanese franchise, it worked it very well. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonball_Evolution)
Evolution was a fairly low-budget effort that didn't have much creative talent thrown at it, whereas Sony and Warner are fighting tooth and nail over the rights to make a Pokemon movie: there's no way they wouldn't throw everything they have at that project. They want that sweet sweet Pokemon money!

Of course, there's no real indication that such a movie will end up doing well, but it's not like every single American live action adaptation of a Japanese franchise will be doomed to failure because of the freaking Dragon Ball Z movie.

Have you read the Killing Joke?  That story is fucking heavy on the grimdark.  Anything less than an R rating would be neutering it.  Sure, they could probably pull off a lower rating but likely at the cost of a lot of the stuff that makes it great.

Pokemon taking realistic shocks and burns and hits for every little boy and girl to witness feels like it would have a bad effect on the franchise
We need more animal abuse in official Pokemon products.

I really hope Ash will not be in this movie, but Red instead. Red is superior to Ash in every single way.
not gonna happen, as ash is whoever comes to everyone's mind when they think about pokemon outside of the games and is quite popular in both a negative and positive way.

I guess this rumor is actually gonna be true
Rita is described thusly:
Quote
A huntress. A striking, yet subtly alien-looking woman. She carries a metallic staff topped with a distinctive crescent shape. Advances with a soldier’s confidence, guided by some sort of compass... Her staff is actually a device of immense power. She points it at the ground. Heads emerge, built layer upon layer like 3-D printing, made from the earth itself... The staff’s technology grants her the ability to create humanoid figures, soulless and robotic.

The comics are a continuation of the series, not a reboot. And also no, they have classic Rita there.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Long John Killer on April 20, 2016, 04:02:45 am
Continuation?  I coulda sworn I read it being described as rebooting it to be more modern, same cast but just now in 2016.  Oh well, my bad then.  Well that's good at least for Rita then.

So I'm guessing the green armor's meant to imply her connection to the new Green Ranger is going to be more personal, he'll get similar armor to hers.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on April 20, 2016, 04:13:19 am
I mean, they're not drawing them in ridiculous 90's fashion styles, and people have cell phones now, but the series is very much rooted in the original series; the first arc takes place directly after the Green Ranger joins the team, and deals with the ramifications of that arc (which were almost completely ignored in the show, Tommy goes from their greatest enemy to an ally in a single episode, and no one really reacts to that, nor does Tommy ever deal with the fact that he was mind-controlled into committing evil).

It's a good book!
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Person Man on April 20, 2016, 04:42:13 am
It's halfway between a reboot and a straight adaptation, I'd say.  It follows the story beats of the original series pretty faithfully, which are pretty heavily rooted in the 90's, but at the same time there's a backup story about Bulk and Skull's podcast where they try to uncover the Rangers' secret identities.

(http://comicsalliance.com/files/2016/03/RangerStation02.jpg)

Which is pretty fantastic, all things considered.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on April 20, 2016, 05:44:35 am
I mean, it's explicitly taking place between episodes of the original series; cell phones and podcasts or no, it's not really a reboot in the slightest.

and the backup story is about Bulk and Skull kidnapping a Putty Soldier (so that they can beat it up later) to try and impress the ladies! And it's amazing!!!
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Person Man on April 20, 2016, 05:52:38 am
I mean, you're not wrong at all.  I only say reboot in the sense that they're removing the story from its original setting and context and transplanting it into a new one.  It's in like some kind of weird nomenclature limbo that we don't really have a more appropriate word for.

Finally, the story nobody demanded can at last be told! Syfy is close to ordering Krypton to pilot from David S. Goyer (the visionary screenwriter of Blade III and Man of Steel) (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/superman-origin-story-krypton-nears-886524); the show would center on Superman's grandfather, years before the birth of  baby Superman and the destruction of Krypton.

I'm having trouble thinking of any LGBT Kryptonian characters that Goyer can turn straight and then get defensive over, much like he did with Da Vinci's Demons and Constantine. *grumble grumble*

The slow onslaught of cinematic universes continues: Hasbro's planned cinematic universe is taking a unique, TV-inspired approach to assembling its slate of movies, with the same kind of writer's room that TV shows have. Previously announced was Akiva Goldsman, who will be heading up the writer's room, ]but today the rest of the authors and writers was revealed, and it's pretty fucking insane: (http://[url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/hasbro-cinematic-universe-takes-shape-886316)
and more. This is an absolutely dynamite assembly of talent! But Hasbro's overall plan still seems not especially well-thought out. :-\

American Gods has officially started production (http://screencrush.com/starz-american-gods-production-photo-cast/), and announced a lot of the cast, including Cloris Leachman (!) as Zorya Vechernyaya, Peter Stormare (!!) as Czernobog, and Crispin Glover (!!!) as Mr. World.

Hamil and Conroy are my favorite voices for Joker and Bats respectively, and that story is probably my favorite Joker origin.

Other than that it looks pretty mediocre compared to say Batman Animated when it was first out, and the animation there was top notch. I mean, the guard looks like a face embedded to the door. I don't know whether to laugh, cry or cry from laughter.

you should know exactly what you're getting into when you decide to watch an adam sandler movie nowadays.

I saw pixels a couple days ago... I thought to myself that it couldn't be as bad as everyone was saying because it has videogame stuff in there so it would be good enough regardless of some bad humor.

Welp I was wrong about that... all the jokes fall flat, story/plot makes no sense overall (like things just happen, it's best way I can put it), and overall it really just seems like it was made by people who don't know anything about video games at all (stuff like cheats that had never existed in a certain game, old arcade gamers dislike today's games because reasons, etc). Only good thing about it were the pixel special effects but that doesn't help the movie nearly enough to make it good.

THEY'RE MAKING A SHINOBI MOVIE (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/shinobi-video-game-adaptation-works-888802)

ordinarily I'd be kinda worried cuz video game movies don't exactly have the best track record, but it's being produced by Marc Platt, who also produced Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Drive, and Bridge of Spies, so who knows, maybe this is the one that'll break the curse!

when they use that as promoting material, one could argue that picture assumes that women have no critical thinking and would go to watch this movie just because it has women as the protagonists and as most of the staff. kinda hurting your own cause there mates.

This movie has alienated the casual viewers so much its only hope to turn profits is to double down on the socjus pandering and muh soggy knees. The sad thing is that if the mainstream media plays along it may work.

It’s hard to imagine this movie being as good as it needs to be to get past all this Internet neckbeard drama.

Wow, insanely disproportionate numbers of dislikes to likes. Almost a suspiciously high number, hmm? The Daily Dot reported that it looks like people have even been building bots to automate dislikes, and some comments on the video indicate that the haters are trying to get them up to a million before the movie’s release in July.

im sure theres a ton of normal people that are in denial , you dont have to be a feminazi to wish a movie was better than it was, seems too harsh to call people that way just for wanting a good movie.

I visit forums where there are people still convinced that Marvel is paying critics to shit on BVS, theres way more explanations about people sticking for bad movies than "they are feminazis"

Who knows,maybe the trailer was a mistep and it ends up being the best movie of the year containing zero instances of Mcarthy defeating monsters by farting on them.

Yeah Justin Lin is pretty good for directing action, especially when it comes to practical stunts so he's good to provide some non-CGI action. Personally I really like the Star Trek movies so I'm looking forward to see what he does with a sequel.

Also on the Melissa McCarthy topic, I personally have never had an intention to watch any of her movies... something about her doesn't sit right with me. That being said... I've never seen a Ghostbusters movie and hearing all sorts of bad things about this remake or whatever it is making me want to see them, I do have a thing for old movies myself anyways.

It’s a reboot, not a remake. I know it’s weird that they say [in the trailer] “30 years ago,” but in this movie it’s like the first one didn’t happen.

It’s a great story but told totally differently. It’s the same thing of four unlikely heroes, it’s in New York city, ghosts are taking over. It’s the same classic story, but it’s not a ’30 years later’.

Believe me, the question was asked. I think it's very confusing. But then everyone said, 'We don't care what you think.'

All 4 actresses are pretty funny on their own. It's the movie that is looking not funny here. It actually took me a long time before I realized Ghostbusters was a comedy. As a kid it had funny stuff to me but seemed pretty serious over all. The comedy was all very subtle. This movie does not capture that feeling at all. (from the previews)

I hope that the movie is good, because I enjoy good movies.

But the movie looks like it will be neither, and if it's the failure of the marketing then they need to hurry up and get out in front of it instead of playing politics.

Paul Feig's got a really good track record for comedy movies so I'm not too worried (strangely enough, he also has a weird track record of having pretty terrible trailers for the very good movies he puts out).

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fe/Irredeemable_Cassaday_cover_art.jpg/250px-Irredeemable_Cassaday_cover_art.jpg)
Irredemable, a comic book series by Mark Waid, Peter Krause, Diego Barreto, and Eduardo Barreto, is getting a movie adaptation from director Adam McKay (!) and screenwriter Tommy Wirkola. (https://deadline.com/2016/05/irredeemable-movie-adam-mckay-tommy-wirkola-boom-studios-fox-1201749508/) The series focused on an analogue of Superman called the Plutonian, who one day snaps and goes from being the world's greatest superhero to its greatest supervillain, all whilehis former allies desperately try to stop his reign of terror.

Now, look: stories about "what if Superman (or a Superman analogue) TURNED EVIL????" are really overdone and they're all mostly terrible. But Irredeemable was fantastic, and soars far above all the others. It's a great story and I'm eagerly looking forward to this adaptation.

The new Power Rangers
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChsrT_aXIAA_sGX.jpg)
Yeah, I dunno, these don't look very good. I'm glad they kept a lot of the features of the helmets, and the colors aren't all muddy and muted, but the piping and seamlines really aren't very visually appealing.

not really a fan of those comically oversized breast armor plates the Yellow and Pink rangers got stuck with, nor their inexplicable high-heeled wedges, either >.>

There was one interesting thing about this reveal, though:

hope this movie does this great comic justice.

Yeah, Kim Kardashian is a better fit in that regard. Speaking of Kim, unlike the Kardashians who managed to recover and build a business empire around that scandal, Paris' pretty much just ended in shame and some failed venures to get recognized somehow (Anyone remember her attempt at starting a singing career?), and this looks to be a desperate attempt at that in a time where nobody really gives a shit about her.

As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom, and nothing feels the same. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is still the all-American teen, but the summer's events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music -- not follow in his dad's footsteps--despite the sudden end of his forbidden relationship with Riverdale's young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel). Which means Archie doesn't have anyone who will mentor him -- certainly not singer Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), who is only focused on her band, the soon-to-be-world-famous Pussycats.

It's all weighing heavily on Archie's mind -- as is his fractured friendship with budding writer and fellow classmate Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she's not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty's nerves -- which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick) aren't the only thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols), there's an undeniable spark between her and Archie, even though Veronica doesn't want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a play for Archie.

And then there's Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch)... Riverdale's Queen Bee is happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is keeping secrets of her own. What, exactly, is she hiding about the mysterious death of her twin brother, Jason?

Riverdale may look like a quiet, sleepy town, but there are dangers in the shadows... Based on the characters from Archie Comics, RIVERDALE is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, in association with Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ("Supergirl," "Glee"), Greg Berlanti ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Supergirl," "DC's Legends of Tomorrow"), Sarah Schechter ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Supergirl," "DC's Legends of Tomorrow") and Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics).

By the way, I really like those weird old DC panels you use in your sigs. Some of those books are so strange and fantastic, it is a joy discovering them now. I wish I could afford to collect more of the actual books from that period.

It's pretty good (the art is absolutely fantastic, though), but I think the new Jughead book works better as an modern update. I wouldn't call it one of Waid's essential works, though.

The Showcase Presents books (huge, black and white reprints of old DC comics) might be up your alley!

I do have a few of those Showcase collections, but what I'm really holding out for is when the Archive Editions get closer to the periods I really want (50s - 60s).  I do love the Golden Age Batman stuff and late All-Star Comics JSA though, it's great and the Archive Editions are gorgeous. I wish they would do the weirder stuff though, like the non-Adam Strange Mystery in Space, My Greatest Adventure (I have the Doom Patrol stuff), Strange Adventures, etc. I love the EC sci-fi books (Weird Fantasy/Science), and DC had some really cool stories like that as well. Love the Justice League Satellite era too, which they've started releasing Archives for. I just miss the color in the Showcase books, even though the Archives are expensive. It's like having a really bad addiction...well, I guess it kind of is that...

One of the prizes of my relatively small collection is World's Finest #142, The Composite Superman 1st. Love that friggin' book, ha.

Replace all of MCU characters with Fox owned X-Men. They could use Dr. Doom...but probably won't. The movie is going to be incredibly bastardized, it stars Prof. X, so right off the bat it is wildly different.

I would love to see Deadpool in place of Hawkeye, though. that might be really interesting.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on May 20, 2016, 01:12:12 am
Both, I guess. I guess the X-Men movies should get credit for successfully bringing over the feeling of the complicated and confusing continuity of the comics!

But I don't think it will resemble the Old Man Logan story very much at all, besides featuring the vague idea of an older Wolverine. Supposedly, the vibe they're going for is a Western (which describes parts of Old Man Logan, I guess), but I think it's safe to say that all the post-apocalyptic stuff with the supervillains taking over America is gonna get totally dropped.

also, the rumor is that X-23 will an appearance of some sort, with the aim of setting her up for X-Force. So it might not even take place in the future at all? Did Wolverine retain his grey temples when the timeline got rebooted in Days of Future Past?

There's been like, eight X-Men movies and it's only just now that they're considering going into space (that sounds pretty weird, out of context, but in the comics the X-Men go to space a lot!). A sentient bacteria that's existed since there was life on Earth just seems beyond the pale for this film series, sadly. :(

http://www.dailydot.com/lol/ghostbusters-reboot-movie-critic-refuses-to-review/
Quote
In times of great turmoil, we look to solitary leaders to forge a path through the fire—leaders like 35-year-old gamer James Rolfe, whose name will echo down through centuries because he took a courageous stand.

What did Rolfe do? Only the unthinkable. He didn't review the Ghostbusters reboot for geek culture site Cinemassacre.com. Even more incredibly, he was able to explain his decision in just six and a half minutes.

Now, did Rolfe fall into the camp of seemingly anti-feminist Ghostbusters fans incensed that women actors have been allowed a chance to don unflattering jumpsuits and battle fictive paranormal apparitions? Is he attempting to smash the gynocracy? Of course not! He had far more legitimate reasons for not watching the film, including but not limited to:

The movie's existence means we now "have to" refer to the original as "the 1984 Ghostbusters." Because of the movie title police.
"If you already know you're going to hate it, why give them your money?" Ah yes, the foundation of all engaged critical thought.
Harold Ramis is dead.
"Calling it Ghostbusters without having any connection to the original story or characters... " Rolfe knows this without seeing the movie. That's just the kind of sage he is. This film about busting ghosts bears no relationship to the other movies about ghostbusting.
"...is a shameless attempt to bank on the name." Right on, brother! You just destroyed Hollywood's entire franchise formula in one fell swoop! Give James Cameron hell! Down with Back to the Future!
It's not a reboot, or a remake, but a "name-make." Which is bad. 
Han Solo and Chewbacca aren't in it.
"The original actors are supposedly playing cameo roles, but not as their characters... like, what the fuck?" Truly, acting is a pox on art.

The silver lining, according to Rolfe, is that Harold Ramis "didn't live to see this shit." For sure. He would have hated being alive to watch this film with his family and buy them nice things with the money he made off it.

So kudos, Rolfe, for using the proton pack of your steely logic and unwavering bias to blast this movie to smithereens. You're a knight in gray zip-up sweater armor. You have saved us from the 2016 Ghostbusters.

So, there's been a new Halloween movie in development for quite a long while. Last bit of news was almost a year ago, where the film was shaping up under director Marcus Dunstan as a sequel to Halloween II (it would ignore every other movie since). But that seems to have stalled, as the franchise has changed hands to a new production company.

Obviously, that's not really exciting news. Because that's not the only announcement. John Carpenter is returning to executive produce and oversee the new Halloween movie!!! (http://www.blumhouse.com/2016/05/23/michael-is-coming-home-blumhouse-is-co-producing-the-new-halloween-with-john-carpenter-onboard/?platform=hootsuite)
Quote
“HALLOWEEN needs to return to its traditions,” Carpenter said. “I feel like the movies have gotten away from that… Michael is not just a human being; he’s a force of nature, like the wind. That’s what makes him so scary.”
but wait, there's more! He also might be composing the music! And today, director Adam Wingard (You're Next, The Guest) has been cryptically posting screenshots from the first Halloween (and also the third one) on his twitter account, the timing of which suggests he might be directing the new one? Like holy shit, this is incredible. :D

Warner Bros. is going ahead with a live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie, set for release winter 2017.  With an all Japanese cast. (http://myanimelist.net/news/46159033)

So...basically, this is reverse Hollywood Ghost in the Shell.  So, what, how do you represent the Ishvalans, Fullmetal's equivalent to Indian Jews persecuted in the Holocaust?  Or Ling?  If I'm not mistaken, he's Chinese, which having Japanese play Chinese characters and vice versa doesn't have a very positive history.

Ling's possible to just completely ignore for the movie, but Scar's pretty damn important.

Pretty much.  Probably not in the budget to get appropriately matching Germans, Indians, Chinese and whoever else I'm forgetting the Fullmetal alternate world covers who also speak Japanese.

See, how do we go about switching the GitS and Fullmetal movies here around?  Hollywood, you guys get to play around with flashy CGI for making Nina into an ever more horrificly traumatizing scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1pKY8UE0mQ) and get actors fitting to the setting, and Japan can get live-action Ghost in the Shell down pretty well.  Well, mostly.  Sorry Batou.

Yeah, that sounds good, wonderful even.  Can we do that?  Please?

Judd Apatow Declares That Trump Will Win The Election By A Landslide
Quote
"I would assume there's a very large crossover of people who are doubtful 'Ghostbusters' will be great and people excited about the Donald Trump candidacy," said Apatow, who is a producer on "Ghostbusters." "I would assume they are the exact same people."

Apollo 13 writer Bill Broyles, director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer have reteamed to adapt the Neal Stephenson novel, Seveneves (http://deadline.com/2016/06/seveneves-movie-ron-howard-brian-grazer-bill-broyles-apollo-13-skydance-1201769130/) The first two-thirds of the book are set in the very near future (like, 5-10 years from now), and depicts a catastrophic event that will render the Earth uninhabitable in under 2 years, prompting governments across the world to band together to try and ensure the survival of the species in space. The final third of the novel jumps ahead five thousand years, as the progeny of the survivors begin another audacious journey: back to the surface of the now-recovered Earth.

this is absolutely fantastic news! The novel was really fucking good, and the people behind Apollo 13 are basically the absolute best team to adapt this story. Probably gonna chop of the final third, though. Or I guess maybe just heavily abridge the future portions to show brief snippets of life in the future, and then jump to the ending of the book (since it's pretty essential?) I dunno!

Quote
Male Ghostbusters haters probably don’t want to call Melissa McCarthy.

During an appearance on Wednesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actress mocked male fans of the franchise who have taken umbrage with the existence of the new film, which casts four actresses in the leading roles.

“Terrific fellas!” she said with sarcasm after host Jimmy Kimmel brought up the online outrage. She then joked, “What they don’t say when they’re typing is that one minute after they type their mom is like, ‘Get upstairs and take out the garbage! You’re 45 years old!’”

Holy shit, the Fast and Furious movies are getting some Oscar winning actors now...

Man just thinking about it is insane... if I got a time machine and went back to 2001 and told everyone that this will become one of the most successful movie franchises of our time, that it would turn into an over the top action franchise, and that the 8th film would have Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren along with the likes of The Rock and Jason Statham joining the series, they would just laugh their asses off...

Calling it, Theron and Mirren are part of the Shaw family... it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary considering the family theme of the FF series. Now I guess all they gotta do is cast Liam Neeson as the father and everything is set.

As someone who likes these movies I can't fucking wait for this one, way too hype to see what the action will be like :D

Eh I'm not too worried, as long as he can direct the action scenes well then it's all good I guess since story takes the backseat in the series. I had the same fear that James Wan couldn't do a good job but he proved me wrong with the last one, even though he had no experience with action or high budget movies.

He did The Italian Job remake which had good action, and from the looks of videos of fast 8 being put on YouTube showing car chases and other over the top action scenes (like the Iceland one) it looks like he's doing a good job. Everything so far looks like it's being done practically which is great as always.

For reference, each of the Mission Impossible movies are all directed by someone different, and not counting the second one they were all well received... I have faith the same will be for the FF franchise.

She must be desperate enough to get the Golden Razzie, eh?

Hey at least it's better than The Transformers films in every way, which all had razzies noms while FF hasn't had one so far (outside of like, the second one but that's one in a 7 movie franchise currently)  so yeah.

Wreck-It Ralph 2 is confirmed for 2018!

Quote
Disney announced Thursday that a sequel to its 2012 film Wreck-It Ralph is officially in development over at the studio’s animation arm, slated for release on March 9, 2018. The sequel was unofficially announced earlier this spring by star John C. Reilly, who voices the titular not-so-bad bad guy.

Quote
“It’s top secret but I’ll tell you this much… Ralph leaves the arcade and wrecks the Internet,” Reilly teased. “What could go wrong?"

Delving into the concept of online games could provide some interesting ideas, too.  For example, Ralph and co. winding up in an MMO and having to deal with players because those games don't ever go off like they do in arcades.  There's room to build a interesting story there if they do it right.

Ben 10 has always meant to sell toys to kids first and make an interesting cartoon for them second, it's the Transformers of the modern age.

It's just past the era where anime is the default influence for western cartoons to where the AT/SU/"CalArts" style (for lack of a better term) is now the default.

Bryan Cranston on the Power Rangers reboot movie: (http://comicbook.com/2016/07/06/bryan-cranston-compares-power-rangers-reimagining-to-the-dark-kn-2/)
Quote
At first I was, to be honest with you, I was reticent to looking at the role because I remember the television series was kind of farcical and silly and ‘pow’ and ‘zow’ — weird movements and things like that. I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’

I wasn’t really high on it until I talked to the producer and read the script and talked to the director. After that I went, ‘This is different.' This is as different a reimagining as the Batman television series as it became the Batman movie series. You can’t compare those two, and nor can you compare this movie version of the Power Rangers to that television series. It’s unrecognizable for the most part. There are tenets of the folklore that you hold onto for sure, but the inspiration is different, and the sensibility of it, and the approach to the film making is completely different.
Grim 'n' gritty Power Rangers. :-\ :-\ :-\

I just watched an interview from late June with Ryan Reynolds about Deadpool in an article (in French) talking about Deadpool 2, and he mentioned Green Lantern, and how it was dumb because it actually had no script. they would come to the studio, the director would tell the actors to get in position, and the actors were like "where's the script ??"
So it was just a succession of scenes that they knew they had to put in because origin story, and that they pasted together to make something the length of a movie.

in the new star trek sulu is gay as a tribute to King Of Old Memes george takei
Quote
The actor revealed his character’s sexuality and said that co-star Simon Pegg, who also wrote the latest installment, made the decision as a tribute for the original actor who portrayed the character.
Quote
The idea came from Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty in the new films and penned the Beyond screenplay, and director Justin Lin, both of whom wanted to pay homage to Takei's legacy as both a sci-fi icon and beloved LGBT activist.

And so a scene was written into the new film, very matter-of-fact, in which Sulu is pictured with a male spouse raising their infant child.
however takei, being the blatant manbaby homophobe that he is, did not like the change
Quote
Except Takei wasn't overjoyed. He had never asked for Sulu to be gay. In fact, he'd much prefer that he stay straight. "I’m delighted that there’s a gay character," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Unfortunately, it’s a twisting of Gene’s creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it’s really unfortunate."
[...]
Takei first learned of Sulu's recent same-sex leanings last year, when Cho called him to reveal the big news. Takei tried to convince him to make a new character gay instead. "I told him, 'Be imaginative and create a character who has a history of being gay, rather than Sulu, who had been straight all this time, suddenly being revealed as being closeted.'"
and pegg replied
Quote
Simon Pegg, the co-writer and star of ‘Star Trek Beyond’, has responded to George Takei’s comments over the film-makers’ decision to reveal Mr. Sulu as gay in the new film, saying he “respectfully disagrees” with the veteran actor.

“However, with regards to his thoughts on our Sulu, I must respectfully disagree with him.

“He’s right, it is unfortunate, it’s unfortunate that the screen version of the most inclusive, tolerant universe in science fiction hasn’t featured an LGBT character until now. We could have introduced a new gay character, but he or she would have been primarily defined by their sexuality, seen as the ‘gay character’, rather than simply for who they are, and isn’t that tokenism?”
so basically simon pegg made sulu gay and said it was a tribute to george takei, a man who explicitly said he never wanted sulu to be gay, and also gave a really shitty excuse for not being able to write a new gay character. god damn what a dishonest piece of shit

Neither Dax nor mirror universe Kira are close to being the same thing. The writers in the various 90s Trek shows fought hard to get gay characters and storylines in but were always shot down by the higher-ups, and only barely managed to get things like the half-hearted Dax kiss through.

But yeah, Takei's reasoning doesn't really hold water. Sulu was never straight; the character had never once displayed any kind of romantic attraction to anyone else. The only indication the character had ever even had sex was that he had a daughter, with no mention given to a mother or what have you.

The only thing that rings true is the idea that he was playing the character as straight, in his head, and so revealing Sulu to be gay is, in his view, turning his performance to be a portraying Sulu as closeted, which wouldn't work in an utopian setting like Star Trek. Which is all fair enough, but that really only matters to Takei himself. To the general audience, Sulu's sexuality was never settled.

I'm disappointed that he's disappointed about this, but I and many other fans delighted by the decision.

The only reference to how Demora was conceived appears in a secondary canonical source: the 1995 Star Trek novel The Captain’s Daughter. “It was, to put it crudely, a one-night stand with a glamazon,” Takei explains. “A very athletic, powerful and stunningly gorgeous woman. That’s Demora’s mother.”

sulu's sexuality might be open to different interpretations (unless you consider secondary canon, but even then maybe he was just experimenting!!!) but if the guy that fucking played the character for years and worked with star trek's creator insists the character was heterosexual then i believe him. takei made it clear to them that he didn't want the character to be gay, but they went ahead and did it. at the end of the day takei has absolutely no say on the character (they could turn him into a walking talking turd man and he wouldn't be able to do anything) but don't make these changes and say it's a tribute to someone that was against them in the first place. it's scummy and dishonest
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on July 10, 2016, 02:26:07 am
Eeh, as far as I saw it, they made the announcement (saying it was a tribute and all) first, then Takei made a comment, and Pegg responded to that last. I don't know that they even said anything to each other before the announcement, so there would be nothing scummy or dishonest to make that initial claim of a tribute. They just all bummed each other out.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread

But that was already written and about to shoot, and it was thought up as a "nod" to Takei at the time. That's just what Cho revealed the first time. It's unfortunate that he omitted Takei's comments, but it's not wrong (and he was only discussing his own involvement in it anyway). No one has been putting the tribute thing on any sort of pedestal since then, so how is it scummy ? They're simply stating how it came to be.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on July 10, 2016, 02:55:53 am
I thought it had already finished shooting, since the post-production time on these things are so long? I guess they still could've cut out the scene (at least, it sounds like they could, since it's not a major part of the movie).
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on July 10, 2016, 02:58:56 am
(they started shooting last June and Takei learned about it "last year" or something so it could be at any time)
Why would they cut it if they disagreed with Takei's appreciation of it in the first place and considered it didn't clash with the original canon.
They came up with it as a nod to Takei, then Takei responded negatively, then they decided to keep it anyway, and Cho simply said that's how it came up. There's no big feud or agenda or underhanded PR, it's just something that happened.

almost every site that reported on the first story mentioned it was a tribute/homage/nod to takei in either the headline or first paragraph. i'm not saying they should've reverted the character changes, none of the people involved should've said it was a "nod" to takei's personal life. it's scummy to use takei's name to promote something he was against.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread

They are basically using Takei personal life as promotion material for their marketing.  Thats what scummy, they should have just ommited Takei from their "stories" and justifications if they knew he was against it to begin with.

Having him brought up as a homage leads to the whole issue. If someone asked "Is the new sulu gay" they shouldve just said "Yes."

Sulu is gay due to the Kelvin incident.

Quote
With the Kelvin timeline, we are not entirely beholden to existing canon, this is an alternate reality and, as such is full of new and alternate possibilities. “BUT WAIT!” I hear you brilliant and beautiful super Trekkies cry, “Canon tells us, Hikaru Sulu was born before the Kelvin incident, so how could his fundamental humanity be altered? Well, the explanation comes down to something very Star Treky; theoretical, quantum physics and the less than simple fact that time is not linear.

Sure, we experience time as a contiguous series of cascading events but perception and reality aren’t always the same thing. Spock’s incursion from the Prime Universe created a multidimensional reality shift. The rift in space/time created an entirely new reality in all directions, top to bottom, from the Big Bang to the end of everything. As such this reality was, is and always will be subtly different from the Prime Universe. I don’t believe for one second that Gene Roddenberry wouldn’t have loved the idea of an alternate reality (Mirror, Mirror anyone?).

This means, and this is absolutely key, the Kelvin universe can evolve and change in ways that don’t necessarily have to follow the Prime Universe at any point in history, before or after the events of Star Trek ‘09, it can mutate and subvert, it is a playground for the new and the progressive and I know in my heart, that Gene Roddenberry would be proud of us for keeping his ideals alive. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations, this was his dream, that is our dream, it should be everybody’s.


Quote
The main thrust for those who aren’t keen on our LGBT Sulu, seems to come down to two things. Firstly, why Sulu? It’s a good point, I mean it could have been anybody: Kirk is a pansexual fun seeker; who knows why Bones got divorced? Nobody said Spock and Uhura were exclusive; Chekov is just permanently horny and let’s face it, there’s more to Scotty and Keenser than meets the eye.

The fact is, we chose Sulu because of George, there was something sweet and poetic about it. Introducing a new gay character had its own set of problems, as I mentioned before, the sexuality of that character would have to be addressed immediately and pointedly and the new characters in Star Trek Beyond have enough on their plate, without stopping to give us the intimate details of their personal lives. We were concerned it might seem clumsy, tokenistic or worse, too little too late, raising and exasperated, “finally!” from those who’ve been waiting for representation for the last 50 years.

So why persist when George Takei wasn’t keen? The thinking behind embracing an existing character was that it felt as though it retroactively put right something that had long been wrong. By the time, we mentioned it to GT, the idea had taken shape, it felt good, interesting and worthy of thought and conversation.

We were disappointed that George didn’t see it that way but, truth be told, Sulu Prime seemed to be missing a very important point. With galaxies of respect to the great man, this is not his Sulu. John Cho does not play a young George Takei, nor does he play the same character George Takei played in the original series. He is a different Sulu.

Sliding into theaters on a river of slime and an endless supply of good vibes, the new, cheerfully silly “Ghostbusters” is that rarest of big-studio offerings — a movie that is a lot of enjoyable, disposable fun. And enjoy it while you can because this doesn’t happen often, even in summer, which is supposed to be our season of collective moviegoing happiness. The season when everyone jumps onboard (whee!) and agrees that, yes, this great goof is exactly what you were thinking when you wondered why they didn’t make summer movies like they used to.

I like how they're considering a sequel before it's even shown to be profitable. I mean don't get me wrong, $46 million for the first three days sounds impressive, but considering that the new Star Trek comes out this Friday (followed by Jason Bourne the week after, then Suicide Squad after that), they REALLY need this opening week to be good to them. But in order to pull it off at this point, they'll need to rely on international ticket sales, which is really stacked against them (reasons being Ghostbusters is a reboot of a franchise most people outside of the US don't really care about, comedies tend to at best match their domestic gross, and Feig/McCarthy have a track record of doing poorly overseas).

The movies were popular here too, but there was no follow-up, I don't think the cartoon ever came here. There's no exploitation of the franchise, but there's a big name recognition, plus Bill Murray's fanbase.
But I haven't heard a thing about the reboot here. No ad, no nothing. US comedies were popular back in the days of the first movies, now it's just a one-off at best.

When The Daily Beast's Jen Yamato broached the subject with Feig himself, he appeared to confirm it as so with a "grinning, silent nod"; but quickly followed up with, "I hate to be coy about it. But when you’re dealing with the studios and that kind of thing… "

"You know, Kate is who she is and I love the relationship between Kate and Melissa’s characters,” he continued. “I think it’s a very interesting, close relationship. If you know Kate at all she’s this kind of pansexual beast where it’s just like everybody who’s around her falls in love with her and she’s so loving to everybody she’s around. I wanted to let that come out in this character."
*movie is bombing on launch week* Hahah well.. studios are going to be mad at me for this one but there's a gay character in the movie!! wink wink nudge nudge, dont tell anyone i said this, wouldnt want to see 300 headlines about how progressive this is

the final trailer:

Reviews are coming out for this and it's looking really good! Lots of people saying that it feels like an episode of the original series (while still managing to be original and amp up the action); I'm pretty fucking pumped!

and speaking of Star Trek: a fourth movie was just greenlit, and it will feature the return of Chris Hemsworth as Kirk's dad, through time travel or something?!?! (http://deadline.com/2016/07/star-trek-4-movie-set-chris-hemsworth-chris-pine-1201787943/)

The Aliens sequel that Neil Blomkamp was working on—the one that would ignore everything that happened in the third and fourth movies—is apparently still happening (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/06/aliens-30th-anniversary-comic-con-event) (the studio put it on hold, indefinitely, in order to focus on Prometheus 2). Hopefully it turns out well!

And no, her reaction is completely unreasonable for any adult person, and even more so for a public figure and a comedian. Dealing with hecklers is stand up 101.

Even though Obama's account isn't actually run by him everything dumb it did and say would still be on his name, and still would be his fault for delegating it to someone incompetent. Jones doesn't have a excuse either, if you can't do basic PR you either get someone who can or keep a low profile on social media.

Well, that's sorta the point: she didn't need to be perfectly graceful in dealing with this shit, and it's really hard to fault her for not being the perfect and flawless in her responses. I don't think most people would do any better, given the same treatment.

To be perfect in this case would be to reply to a single "hater" with a sick burn, reap a lot of retweets, ignore everything else and walk away victorious. That's admittedly pretty hard.

Reporting shit and keeping a low profile during this mess, like, only tweeting stuff like "haters gonna hate" or thanking people showing support not only would make Jones look like a classy and mentally balanced woman - it's also the path of least resistance.

realistically speaking there's nothing twitter can do without fundamentally crippling how twitter works. the best thing they could do right now would be to hire more human beings to deal with reports, but twitter isn't exactly profitable as it is so that's out of the question.

I guess that's neat?  Probably ties to a similar story the game's going to cover.  I'd have to imagine the Pokémon that'll appear will be CGI, but it'd be really cool if it went the route of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  Pokémon already look a little off when incredibly detailed (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jBV0AUcPdaEic), thinking of the likes of Nidoking and Gyardos with big budget movie productions is crazy.

Last I heard was Craig McCracken, the guy who made The Powerpuff Girls, was in charge of Mickey Mouse now and made a few cartoons about Mickey and Minnie and such a couple years back now, I guess.  Only one I saw was about them in France.  Hear more about King Mickey from Kingdom Hearts more often than the actual mouse now, and that's barely anything at all.

Also now I gotta wonder if he prefers being behind the famous mouse and seeing what's become of his beloved if lesser creation over just keeping in charge of it being over and done with.

Other way around, Danny Devito is too fucking old to know pokemon. All the people in his age range, even actors, are fucking normies.The only way I imagine him knowing about the mascot of a videogame, series (even one as huge as pokemon) is if one of his children was young enough to get hooked on the first generation of pokemon.

In a world where superheroes have been real for decades, an underdog accountant with zero powers comes to realize his city is owned by a global super villain long-thought dead.

The Tick stars Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy), Griffin Newman (Vinyl), Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), Valorie Curry (House of Lies), Yara Martinez (Jane the Virgin) and Brendan Hines (Scorpion). The Tick is executive produced by Ben Edlund (Supernatural), Barry Josephson (Bones) and Barry Sonnenfeld (A Series of Unfortunate Events), directed by Wally Pfister (The Dark Knight), and written by Edlund. The Tick is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television.
Kinda weird that this synopsis only mentions Ben Edlund's Supernatural credits and not, you know, how he's also the creator The Tick? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They could've done both! Like, it could've been "Based on the comics by Ben Edlund (Supernatural), The Tick is executive produced by Edlund, Barry Josephson (Bones) [...]", or something!

It should be a selling point that the original creator is heavily involved!!!

it's upsetting that even in cases like this one twitter still doesn't say shit about why the user was removed. they don't point to which tweets were the bad ones, something that sounds insanely basic to do. even this forum where nobody gets paid does it. how can your userbase learn what's acceptable and not when you just give vague explanations like uhhh he posted some things against are community guidelines

all this twitter speech about how they want to stop hate and abuse rings hollow when other terrible accounts are allowed to exist, most blatantly the westboro baptist church. i bet anything it won't get removed anytime this month

also leslie jones retweeted hamtaro porn (https://twitter.com/lesdoggg/media) for whatever reason (scroll down to find it, obviously nws)

LEGO BATMAN!

(http://i.imgur.com/PfCSFxK.jpg)
Robin's looking ridiculously similar to Carrie Kelly, the Robin from The Dark Knight Returns but this version is still Dick Grayson. Pretty weird!

AMERICAN GODS!
(http://i.imgur.com/sRlsWMi.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/UPGoIJO.jpg)
Featuring the first look at Bilquis, and yes, they're including *that* scene (http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/07/american-gods-bilquis-photo-starz-yetide-badaki).

TOMB RAIDER!
It's gonna be based on the 2013 reboot game, unsurprisingly. (http://www.hitfix.com/the-dartboard/alicia-vikander-reveals-new-tomb-raider-movies-connection-to-rebooted-game)

ASH VS EVIL DEAD!
(http://i.imgur.com/96oufM2.jpg)
Lee Majors is playing Ash's dad and it's pretty spot-on casting!

Also I don't think I've seen Serafinowicz in anything where he's not really smarmy so I don't know about him being the Tick
Well... uhh... he voiced Darth Maul? I dunno, I can't think of anything else non-smarmy but I have high hope for this!

It was implied (but never confirmed) in the DCAU. And the dubiously canonical sequel comics to Batman Beyond comics made it explicit, but also made it way more gross than it already inherently was.

But outside of that, never. Certainly not in The Killing Joke itself!

I hear the scenes that set up the big climax are as awkward (read: forced) as the sex itself. Bad enough it makes Batgirl looks like a desperate teen, but now it bleeds into the actual story and makes Batman look bad too.

Great job DC, couldn't have done it any better.

Just... god.  By adding in a needless sexual relationship they completely change the dynamic of everything that happens in that entire story.  So now when Batman goes in for the big final confrontation at the theme park, it's not to save his friend Gordon or stop a rampaging lunatic, it's now purely to give the Joker a beating for hurting 'his woman.'  So now, in what should be one of the quintessential Batman stories of all time, we're forced to deal with a hero that is acting motivated purely by sex and revenge.

Jesus Cackling Christ, that's not even a train wreck.  It's like a train that crashed into a school bus and then was hit by a crashing plane.

Actually not.. other than the included extended batgirl opening story sequence, the rest is straight up killing joke. its actually a real good  adaptation if you ignore the batgirl bits at the start. I will say, this was the first time I actually felt legit scared of the Joker, reading the comic I was shocked, but seeing it in motion, listening to mark Hamil probobly do his best joker yet.. fucken chills.

Ahhh yes, it's very empowering for Batgirl to fuck her ex's dad/her father's best friend/her mentor who's trained her extensively, and then act clingy and lovelorn, even as she tries to deny it meant anything  ("it was just sex!").

Not surprised to see that logic from Brian Azzarello, the same genius who—in the big nu52 reboot of Wonder Woman—turned the Amazons from an immortal, technologically advanced civilization into a mortal horde of barbarians who reproduce by raping and murdering passing sailors, and sell their male children off into slavery. All in the name of making things more realistic and relatable, of course.

Actually not.. other than the included extended batgirl opening story sequence, the rest is straight up killing joke.
It adds it on an implicit level: the fact that Batman and Batgirl have a sexual relationship now hangs over the entire movie and alters the dynamic of every other scene, thematically.

I just don't understand how they got here, how they settled on having Batgirl fuck Batman as the way to expand the story to movie-length and try and offset the way she was used in the original comic. It's literally the exact worst thing they could've done.


I'm so fucking pumped for this.

So, acclaimed horror director Adam Wingard (You're Next, The Guest) has a new movie coming out this September, called The Woods. It's been kept under wraps while it was being filmed, and once it started preparing for release, the only information released about it to the public was one vague trailer.

But that all changed today. The movie isn't actually called The Woods.

It's a motherfucking BLAIR WITCH SEQUEL (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/07/22/blair-witch-project-sequel-secret-comic-con) :flipout:

Poor men. You hear them at the office, in restaurants, in bars, their brains filled with meaningless facts about sports, cars and electronics as they entertain friends with their endless jokes about genitalia and bathroom activities, not to mention their humorous accusations as to the sexual orientation of their conversation partners. They loudly amuse themselves by hurling insults and epithets -- the words "dick," "balls" and "ass" being the etymological anchors of their attacks -- all for the express purpose of making one another laugh. They seem to be having such a great time that you'd feel like a monster alerting them to this one unfortunate fact: Men just aren't funny.

The humiliation angle is starting to look like a fetish.
The man is in a clown suit degrading himself to women and explaining to them that he loves them. Its like the kind of over compensating someone that skins women and keeps them locked in closets do.

It makes sense. Men are genetically programmed to hunt and gather. It is they who must impregnate the herd and protect the collective. And so it's only logical that their brains would need to possess lower humor standards in order to pass the hours entertainingly with their cohorts while stalking that night's dinner or standing guard against the enemy. Yes folks, the difference in male and female genetics is why men are not funny.

I feel like pretty much everything that they could add and flesh out in the movie universe could be done just as well as in the original one. The basics haven't really changed, after all; anything truly new in the movies would end up being new for the original as well. Plus, hewing to the visuals of older Trek is a lot easier/cheaper than it would be to emulate the new movies.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on July 25, 2016, 08:02:54 am
It's been a while since I read anything of nu52 but what?
There were two big shakeups to Wonder Woman's backstory when the nu52 reboot happened. They were both presented as big shocking reveals to both the reader and to Wonder Woman herself: in other words, for the first few issues, the comic book presented the old, classic elements as they were before the reboot, but then revealed the horrible truth and upended everything. Because these new ones were more "grounded and realistic" for mature adults, not like that stupid kiddie shit from before.

Anyways, the first big reveal is that Wonder Woman finds out her whole life has been a lie: her original, classic backstory of being molded from clay by her mother and given life by the Greek goddesses was all false, she is, in fact, the product of an affair Zeus had with her mother. The "infant made of clay" backstory was a lie, made to protect Wonder Woman from Hera's wrath.

The other big change was the nature of the Amazons themselves. The original, classic set up is that Wonder Woman was the only child of the Amazons in history (for they are both immortal and isolated from men; they don't need to reproduce, nor do they have the means to do so). In the nu52 reboot, this is revised to make them both mortal (maybe? her mother Hippolyta is definitely immortal, but the other Amazons aren't? I guess?) and they reproduce thrice a century. Wonder Woman believed that it was divine will that only daughters were born to the Amazons (it's unclear where she thought the babies came from; she comes off like a fucking idiot in both of these reveals), but she discovers the shocking truth: the Amazons have survived over the millennia by periodically drawing ships near their island via magic, attacking those ships and seducing the sailors on board, fucking them, and then murdering them. Nine months later, when the children of those unions are born, they celebrate the births of their daughters, and drown their sons. Hephaestus is eventually able to convince them to stop killing the male children by offering to trade them for his weapons, and they agree. He takes the newborn babies and raises them as his personal servants, who assist him in manning the forge of Olympus.

So basically, the Amazons go out and rape and murder dudes, and then sell their male offspring into slavery, for weapons. That's the new Paradise Island, the perfect utopia that Wonder Woman selflessly gives up in order to venture out into the world, to bring peace and love, to bring the utopia of Paradise Island to all mankind. It quite literally destroys the entire point of the character, and indeed, the actual comic book had none of the usual plot beats of Wonder Woman trying to improve the world, of being a diplomat and ambassador of Paradise Island. Instead, it delved mostly into plots about conflict between the Greek gods, and Wonder Woman's struggling to protect Zeus's latest bastard child and the baby's mother.

And to be fair, those were fairly interesting and well-told storylines, and the art by Cliff Chiang was absolutely gorgeous. But it was an unmitigated disaster as a Wonder Woman story, one that undermined everything that was interesting and unique and vital to the character. Indeed, the focus in Azzarello's run was rarely even on Wonder Woman at all! So much of Azzarello's run on the book was about his unique take on the Greek gods, and Wonder Woman occasionally popped in here and there. She never was the primary driver of the plot, and it always felt like she could've been dropped from the storyline without causing any major changes. And that was really fucking shitty and misguided!

Thankfully, things have gotten better under the DC Rebirth initiative. There was a big reveal that all of the stupid Azzarello backstory is part of an elaborate lie that has been magically implanted in Wonder Woman (the plot's just started up so everything else is all still a mystery). And the latest issue featured a flashback confirming that the old, classic Amazon backstory is all back, so it's all pretty much fixed now!

Hopefully the movie is taking cues from the classic version of Wonder Woman, and not the stupid daughter of Zeus shit!!!

Nope, that was a deception ! Be shocked as you hear why you were manipulated like that !

Just handwave everything as "it was a hoax".
The trailer for the movie summed it up in one line, " I was given life by Zeus". It sounds more like the classic take without elaborating on the clay doll bit.

Post by: Jmorphman on July 25, 2016, 09:00:07 am
I certainly hope that's the case (I'm kinda bugged by the suggestion that Zeus was involved, because part of the power of that origin is that she was born from only women), but I'm still kinda worried they're gonna pull the rug out from everyone and reveal it's all a like, like what happened in the comics.

Right as the big brouhaha over the Batgirl/Batman was heating up over the weekend, DC announced another animated movie that will contain another extremely uncomfortable May-December sex scene: (http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2016/07/22/teen-titans-the-judas-contract-is-getting-an-animated-movie) an adaptation of the classic New Teen Titans storyline The Judas Contract! This adaptation has been in the works for over a decade, but was constantly cancelled and delayed for various reasons. But now it's finally happening. The world will finally be able to see Deathstroke fuck a 16-year old girl on the big screen!

unless they cut that part out, which they absolutely should

With Apologies to the late Christopher Hitchens, whose 2007 essay 'Why Women Aren't Funny' elicited outrage, The Heat director Paul Feig rebuts 'The Myth of Male Hilarity.'
I guess it might've been prompted by the spate of headlines from when Bridesmaids was released questioning if the movie answered the question "Can women be funny?", but that was in 2011.

You cant claim something is a parody when it has nothing to do with the original except for the title.

hes dressed as a clown with paid models frowning at him ( that he paid to frown at him) as he talks about how their vaginas that make babies are superior to him.
At some point you stop defending people that behave like that and realize they are just doing it out of some kind of fetish.

I might like Tarantino movies but I dont try to defend his closeups of feet as he can be heard salivating.

??? The article is almost entirely made up of rephrasings and lifting from the Hitchens article, which is why it gets acknowledged at the top.

One can argue that it's untimely as hell, that it was a pointless endeavor given the death of Hitchens and the success of Bridesmaids, and countless other things, but it literally describes itself as a parody.

But was it funny in the context of "crude male humor?" Because that's what the piece was getting at, Feig even says there are exceptions.

Sure it was presented in a way that looked like a caricature, but I wouldn't say it's far off from his actual beliefs.

Nah, it was entirely Jason Statham describing ludicrous and obviously fake details from precious spy missions he's done; if his delivery wasn't perfect it would've fallen flat, been a total of 5 or so minutes spread out over the course of the movie of Statham giving monologues that add nothing to the plot. If he wasn't on his A-game and making them so funny, it would've killed the movie dead.

Oooooh cool! The Rocketeer is an underappreciated gem; I wonder if they're gonna set it in the present day, or go for another period setting by setting it in the mid-60s, which would be roughly the same time gap from World War II as it is between now and the release date in 1991. Good way to bring in the old actors and you'd get the same period piece type deal as the first movie. never mind, it's set six years after the first movie. So basically the same general time period. Ah well, WWII is still fun.

Mitch Hurwitz confirmed that there will in fact be a re-edit of season four of Arrested Development (http://screencrush.com/arrested-development-season-4-edit-mitch-hurwitz-update/), reconfiguring that season as a 22-episode season with 22-minute long installments (compared to the original 15 episode release, with 30-40 minute long episodes). They're even recording new narration! Hopefully it'll help make the season feel less flabby and more focused.

Charlie Hunnam said in an interview that he will not be returning for Pacific Rim 2, due to scheduling conflicts (he's super busy) (http://uproxx.com/gammasquad/charlie-hunnam-pacific-rim-2-status/). The original script featured him, but they had to write him out. Probably gonna have a cameo of some kind, though.

... is it poor form to say that this is actually great news? Hunnam's character was by far the worst thing about that movie, and he was the main character! Everyone else was so much more interesting! He had no charisma nor chemistry with anyone else! It's a testament to how good the rest of the movie was that his performance didn't sink it!

As per the Hollywood Reporter, a sequel to Paul Feig’s pricey Ghostbusters reboot is now considered unlikely despite earlier reports to the contrary. The film, which opened to unspectacular box office numbers and middling critical response in early July, is expected to incur a loss of over $70 million—though Sony Pictures disputes the figure.

A bunch of info has come out for Star Trek: Discovery (http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/star-trek-discovery-gay-character-cbs-all-access-1201835052/)

 - as previously disclosed, the show takes place in the original, Prime universe/timeline; now we know it will be specifically set 10 years before the original series. Showrunner Bryan Fuller said that they're open to the idea of younger versions of the TOS cast popping up here and there, but not in the first season.
 - the series will be about "an incident in the history of Starfleet that had been talked about but never fully explored"
 - although the series is set on a ship, like every non-DS9 Trek, the main character won't be the captain: instead, she'll be a Lt. Commander. The idea is that after six series with captains, it would be a nice shake-up to have the lead in a subordinate role, which is pretty cool (and yes I know, Sisko on Deep Space 9 started as a commander with no ship, but he was still the head honcho, and he got a ship fairly quickly!)
 - they're "absolutely" including a gay character :D
 - there will be more aliens than usual, and established aliens might have their designs slightly altered, because it's 2016 and makeup and prosthetics have continued to evolve.
 - the show will be tightly serialized, and because it'll be airing not on CBS itself but on CBS's streaming service, they have a lot more leeway in the topics they can explore and the graphic content they can do. Despite this freedom, they're still aiming for the same audience as previous Treks (i.e., suitable for the whole family), but they will be pushing the envelope wherever they can

All in all, this sounds very rad! I'm really fucking excited!


this looks very good

That Dectective Pikachu movie just got its screenwriters: Nicole Perlman (co-writer on Guardians of the Galaxy and the upcoming Captain Marvel) and Alex Hirsch (creator of Gravity Falls)!?

From what I can tell the backstory for that is that Frank Cho only accepted the job on the provision that Rucka would have no creative control over his covers. Someone at DC told each person they'd have the final say over the covers, and it blew up in their face.

Apparently Rucka's making a few enemies at DC Comics, demanding total control over anything to do with Wondy to the point at even plans for Donna Troy need his tick of approval.

From what I can tell the backstory for that is that Frank Cho only accepted the job on the provision that Rucka would have no creative control over his covers. Someone at DC told each person they'd have the final say over the covers, and it blew up in their face.
Pretty much, with a few specific things: Rucka was given complete creative control over everything (book, covers, et. al.), which is pretty unusual for a freelancer doing work-for-hire at the Big Two. The reason he he got it is because DC's fucked Wonder Woman up so badly (http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.2272365) over the last 5 years that were willing to make big concessions to bring back the single most acclaimed (living) writer of the character to fix everything; Rucka left DC years ago because they kept screwing up his storylines (or taking books away from him in the middle of a storyline, like his original run on Wonder Woman). And it's working out extremely well; the book is fucking awesome, easily the best Wonder Woman comic since... I dunno, when did Gail Simone's run end?

But that's just setup to this: the reason there was a miscommunication to begin with is that all of DC's variant covers are produced by the marketing department, with very little to no communication between marketing + the variant artists and the editorial staff + creative teams of the actual books the variant covers are being made for (this has caused problems before!). Cho made an informal agreement with marketing that he'd have complete creative control over his covers and they said sure, and no one had any idea what was happening because this is an fucking idiotic way to do variants. Cho took notes from editorial/Rucka for a few issues but it eventually boiled over into him leaving.

I haven't heard anything credible about Rucka making enemies (he's very easygoing and well-liked in the industry) but he does indeed have pretty much total oversight over everything Wonder Woman right now, which really speaks to the scale of how poorly the character has been handled and how much of a panic DC is in right now regarding the property.

Pantsu is important, even in US comics.

DC's fucked Wonder Woman up so badly (http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.2272365) over the last 5 years
Quote
Wonder Woman believed that it was divine will that only daughters were born to the Amazons (it's unclear where she thought the babies came from; she comes off like a fucking idiot in both of these reveals), but she discovers the shocking truth: the Amazons have survived over the millennia by periodically drawing ships near their island via magic, attacking those ships and seducing the sailors on board, fucking them, and then murdering them. Nine months later, when the children of those unions are born, they celebrate the births of their daughters, and drown their sons. Hephaestus is eventually able to convince them to stop killing the male children by offering to trade them for his weapons, and they agree. He takes the newborn babies and raises them as his personal servants, who assist him in manning the forge of Olympus.

So basically, the Amazons go out and rape and murder dudes, and then sell their male offspring into slavery, for weapons. That's the new Paradise Island, the perfect utopia that Wonder Woman selflessly gives up in order to venture out into the world, to bring peace and love, to bring the utopia of Paradise Island to all mankind.

The fuck?
Now I know why they were desperate to fix things.

It seriously undermines every aspect of Wonder Woman as a character; it'd be like if they had Superman discover Ma and Pa Kent were actually cannibals who sold human meat disguised as animal meat, or something; or if Batman discovered the Waynes were actually the biggest, most deplorable criminals in all of Gotham. It's absolutely mindboggling that it got published.

It's just very hard to be sympathetic at all with DC right now, even when they correct their past mistakes, they manage to create another giant fuck up. It's so frustrating, it makes me so angry that I just don't know whether I can—

Adam West's voice shows his age, but it was a magical moment hearing the Batman I grew up with and learned to love talking insane non-sense in the most suave way while addressing the viewers.
Burt Ward sounds just like he did in 1966. This is the greatest thing ever. And I can't wait to hear Julie Newmar in action as Catwoman.
The set up of the promo video is just perfect. :')

Today has been 3 years since I have beaten cancer, and then DC puts this trailer up. It is such a great gift. T_T
It is so... perfect. So great. Everything I have wished for and more in a Batman film.

Happy victory day to you Ms. Bea! It is really cool that they are doing an animated movie on the coolest live action Batman. I just wish this came sooner because isn't there actors from the old show that died?

Thank you. :)
And yes, several of them died already, such as Burgess Meredith who was Penguin and then left the life of crime to train Rocky as a boxer. He passed away in 1997, at the age of 89.
Cesar Romero, the best live action Joker of all time has long left us as well. He passed in 1994 at the age of 86.
Frank Gorshin, the Riddler left us in 2005 at the age of 72.
And finally, Eartha Kitt who played Catwoman at the third season of the show, passed away in 2008, aged 81.

Their voices are greatly missed in this cartoon. But we still got Julie Newmar and of course Adam West and Burt Ward to bring us all the joy and glory of the 1966 Batman.

awwwwwwwww yeah baby

Fox is developinga new show called Camelot (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/fox-updating-king-arthur-as-924730) and I'm just gonna quote the description because it has to be seen to be believed:
Quote
The drama, which landed at Fox in a competitive situation with a script plus penalty commitment, reimagines the legendary stories of King Arthur in a police procedural. When an ancient magic reawakens in modern-day Manhattan, a graffiti artist named Art must team with his best friend Lance and his ex, Gwen — an idealistic cop — in order to realize his destiny and fight back against the evil forces that threaten the city.
they're turning King fucking Arthur into a goddamn police procedural. Jesus Christ, network TV executives.

This is an adaptation of an absolutely fantastic short story (Story of Your Life, by Ted Chiang (http://www.negrophonic.com/pdfs/ted_chiang_-_story_of_your_life.pdf)) and I'm really pumped about this; looks really good! And reviews are starting to trickle in (because it just premiered at the Venice Film Festival), and they're all extremely positive!!!! :D

A sexy contemporary take on Oliver Twist with a struggling 20-something female (Twist) who finally finds a true sense of family in a strange group of talented outcasts who use their unique skills to take down wealthy criminals.
OLIVIA TWIST AND HER SEXY ORPHAN THIEVES

And of course, it's gonna be a procedural.

Fox has launched the development of a movie based on the life of Stan Lee (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/fox-buys-stan-lee-life-928087)... sorta. It's supposed to be a "period action-adventure movie", with Lee as the main character, in the mold of (and this is an actual quote) "Roger Moore’s 007."

This is so fucking weird.

"Adam (the director) talked about his own past with anime and said that the genre’s unflinching association with adult-oriented content inspired him"
Which in Hollywood translates to nudity, violence and swearing.

Quote
“It’s definitely for adults,” he stressed. “It is zero chance it will be below an R-rating. [It] will be one of the first manga adaptations that feels very grounded but still has fantastical elements.”

You're drunk Hollywood. please fuck off and leave Death Note be.. go fuck up Akira or Evangelion...

No, but that's just Hollywood being Hollywood. Here, he's specifically talking like the original does have lots of blood, telling us that everything will be fine because he'll keep ALL THAT BLOOD.
This is someone that hasn't even read or watched the original material and he's trying to reassure us that he'll stick to it.

Wow...i haven't seen something that will become a massive trainwreck so hard after so much promise after that line.

Death Note is a SHOUNEN in Japan. The series is mainly meant for kids and teenagers but while yes there is differences between what is there for age groups in different countries, the series is in a magazine meant for kids and teenagers already defeating the purposes of forcing an R rating.

It's like he watched the final episode only and went "The whole series must be having everyone tossing around copious amounts of blood" when there was very little of it overall. Hell, there's a REASON Light goes for the default method of death(Heart Failure) rather than going the Deception route and going balls to the walls(because I think going extravagant past where the situation calls for it will just plain get him caught faster)

And nudity? Where was all this nudity in Death Note? And this honestly keeps manga fans knowing that Hollywood will NEVER make a good movie based on an anime.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on September 16, 2016, 04:55:29 pm
You guys should have more faith in Adam Wingard! You're Next and The Guest are both smart, taut thrillers that avoid the use of blood and nudity for mere shock value.

There's little reason to expect his adaptation of Death Note to differ in any way.

we got some holly (?) nudity in the manga, to show how confortable she is with mello as we learn she is not a near agent but a mello spy... and the anime has got some half naked misa interrupting a light meeting ... to show I guess that misa does not give a fuck about light's friends and just want to fuck light's brains out. then we got some L adn kira takigna  shower together in the latest live action adaptation.. that's as far  as having nudity goes for death note, and violence... iirc only that scene of wrong series mc shooting kira, tho I am sure hollywood can work out with the non suicide casualties in a lot of fun ways.

thankfully we are getting the 10 eyars later sequel, which overwrites the "misa kills herself right away" plot point.

Also there are several instances where characters get into bloody traffic accidents (Shibutaku and the police officer during the Higuchi chase and a thief), someone sets herself on fire and dies to destroy evidence (in the nude), and someone gets machine-gunned to death (not MC). And the anime made at least one heart attack look like a dude jumping off a building.

GRANTED a lot of it is offscreen, but it's plenty bloody, even if that's not the main point.

Heat is a pretty great comparison; very interested to see what they turn up with.


this looks neat

The original version of the script (which made it onto 2007's Black List (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_List_(survey)) of very well regarded but unproduced screenplays) had Chris Pratt's character the only person whose sleep pod malfunctioned, and he would then intentionally wake up Jennifer Lawrence's character by sabotaging her sleep pod, because he got lonely. Which is pretty fucked up, to say the least! And apparently that original script never really addressed how monstrous an action it was, and just had the two characters fall in love. Glad to see they've reworked that aspect.

yeah, I heard positive things about heat once this article got online, is the teenager thing that is weird, about as weird as the sex and violence thing in the previous interview. that sounds more like generic anime propaganda and less like they actually read/watched death note; I mean, L and kira work better as early 20s guys than as teenagers.

Ghost in the Shell mini-trailers were put out. (http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/21/13011380/ghost-in-the-shell-scarlett-johansson-first-teaser)  5 of them, showing off random scenes.

Yeah...so I just watched the original movie on Sunday.  And Solid State Society, but not particularly relevant.  Or maybe somewhat, since I'm guessing they want to mix the original movie with aspects of Stand Alone Complex & 2nd GIG?  This does not look like Ghost in the Shell, beyond the waking from bed pose and mixing and mashing the show with the movie won't help when they tell different stories, unless its for nothing more than visual cameos.  Personally, hopes were never high, but these aren't helping raise them for me.  At all.

For Aramaki's trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xziBGsIaWh8), why does he have Togusa's gun?  I don't recall him owning a similar one or passing it down to Togusa or anything like that.

The series is set 10 years after the arrival of hundreds of gigantic, mysterious alien structures that root themselves into the Earth and tower over their surroundings, but don't move or attempt to communicate. They just sit there, for a decade, as their presence exerts major changes across the world. It's a great premise, and the book is amazing; hopefully this news leads to a similarly great adaptation!

If this leaked character description is anything to rely upon, then yeah, that's absolutely the explanation that will be used:
Quote
A huntress. A striking, yet subtly alien-looking woman. She carries a metallic staff topped with a distinctive crescent shape. Advances with a soldier’s confidence, guided by some sort of compass... Her staff is actually a device of immense power. She points it at the ground. Heads emerge, built layer upon layer like 3-D printing, made from the earth itself... The staff’s technology grants her the ability to create humanoid figures, soulless and robotic.
god forbid Rita Repulsa use magic.

but yeah holy shit that trailer was a load of hot garbage. Absolutely none of it felt like it was Power Rangers related at all. It's a really dumb idea to try and pull a Fantastic Four 2015 on such a cheesy, campy series.

Yesss Archer isn't ending with s7's last episode. It'll go as far as 10 seasons too, even if it'll only be 8 episodes. The time between each season will be even longer, but I'll take it.
Season 8 is gonna be really weird, though: it's set in 1947, with reimagined versions of the main cast. (http://screencrush.com/archer-season-8-dreamland-premise-1947/) This "Dreamland" premise features some pretty dramatic shake-ups, with different personal history and relationships for everyone.

Not really. It says that Fathom Events didn't release any info on ticket sales, which they did for The Killing Joke ($3.7 million btw), so in terms of box office performance, THAT doesn't look promising.

This is more a direct to DVD (or digital) release, so I am not worried about box office numbers.
Edit: And the theatrical release was a “One day only!” special, so yeah, definitely not worried about it performed there.
The quality of the film is good, which is what I was hoping for, so I am so going to watch it as soon as it shows on the digital stores I have access to here.

Assassin's Creed movie trailer
I cringed hard when they said "we traced his bloodline back to the assassin's creed", but god damn, do they have the action (super fast fighting, throwing blades, parkour), the animus effect, and even the present day storyline be relevant with the very clear "bleeding effect", showing that it's not just a plot device for cool medieval fights and things will actually happen in the present. (I guess it could have more actual assassination from the shadows rather than just zerg rushing with a group of 10, but hey, it's close enough to the games) After Fassbender said, immediately after his casting reveal, that he jumped into all the games to understand the characters and how they move, it looks like there are people who actually care about making a good movie out of this.

edit - oh, and the visuals in the past, those colors and buildings are a perfect match to the games, it's really impressive.

https://heatst.com/culture-wars/feminists-attack-united-nations-for-picking-wonder-woman-as-un-honorary-ambassador/

Quote
A week ago, the UN announced that the superhero would become the UN Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls. On Friday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will make it official.

The initial response to the decision was largely positive: Even influential feminist comics site the Mary Sue hailed the choice,  writing: “Wonder Woman is a great, easily recognizable symbol of what women can become once freed from a patriarchal society.”

But other, less-nerdy feminists were less impressed with the decision. Shazia Rafi, a leader of the She4SG campaign, to make the next UN secretary-general a woman, and a former secretary general of Parliamentarians for Global Action, said the choice of Wonder Woman is “ridiculous”.

“The campaign for women’s empowerment is represented by a cartoon when there are so many real-life women who could have been chosen,” she added.

On Twitter, she doubled down and slammed the UN, saying: “UN does locker room talk” by downgrading women to a cartoon, while men continue to occupy the top ranks of the organization.

Rafi has since written to the UN secretary-general asking him to skip the event on Friday and urging others to boycott the ceremony. She is demanding that Wonder Woman be dropped from the campaign.

“It should be scrapped,” Rafi told AFP.

Deadpool director Tim Miller has left the sequel due to creative disagreements with Ryan Reynolds. (http://deadline.com/2016/10/deadpool-director-tim-miller-exits-sequel-ryan-reynolds-creative-disagreements-fox-1201841001/)

That's a real shame (I kinda wish it had been the writers who were leaving, since the script was easily the weakest part of the movie). Apparently the big two sticking points between the two (http://www.thewrap.com/deadpool-director-tim-miller-exit-ryan-reynolds-creative-differences/) were that Miller wanted to cast Kyle Chandler as Cable and Reynolds wanted someone else, and that Miller wanted the sequel to be a bit more stylized, while Reynolds wanted something that didn't stray very far the raunchy comedy of the first one.

Bryan Fuller has stepped back from his position as showrunner on Star Trek Discovery (http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/bryan-fuller-showrunner-star-trek-discovery-cbs-1201901398/), which is a huge bummer. But he have two other shows in development, so it's not exactly surprising. And indeed, that was apparently what prompted CBS to delay the premiere of the series a few months back.

What this basically means is that Fuller is still going to be heavily involved with the show, but the day-to-day operations will be taken over by Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts (who worked with Fuller on Pushing Daisies, and who were already producing this show before they became the new showrunners); Akiva Goldsman (who also consulted on Fringe) is also joining in a supporting role.

When I first heard this news, I was really worried that CBS had fired Fuller over creative disagreements, and had dramatically shaken up the behind-the-scenes staff, but this all looks fine. The three people taking over for Fuller are all very close to him, and sources say that his creative vision is very much still intact, and that CBS is pleased with the direction the show is going in. It's just that he doesn't have time to be there everyday getting the show made.

Apparently the major point of contention (http://comicsalliance.com/deadpool-2-drama-explained/) was that Reynolds wanted to keep the sequel more in line with the first one by keeping it inexpensive, but Miller wanted to ride the film's success to get a huge budget and make it an effects-driven blockbuster to compete against the MCU movies.

There was some early prototype of a Megazord toy that leaked out a week or so ago, and I honestly thought it didn't look too bad! But that was clearly a very early prototype. This final one looks incredibly rough; the mostly-grey coloring looks awful, and makes the few splashes of color that do exist stand out like a sore thumb.

It is now time to reboot the X-Men movies again. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/foxs-x-men-issues-jennifer-lawrence-unsigned-deadpool-defections-gambit-hold-945505)

A few caveats: this is just a rumor (but it's from The Hollywood Reporter, a respected industry trade with trustworthy sources, so it's probably true), and the script for the rebooted movie is being written so that it can be turned into a sequel to X-Men: Apocalypse if they somehow manage to renegotiate contracts with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, and Jennifer Lawrence. But things don't look great on that front.

Fox is also planning out the rest of their X-Men movies beyond just the main series: Deadpool 3 is already being planned, and will reportedly incorporate X-Force; Gambit is still planned to go into pre-production soon, but it's already had so many production troubles and delays that it seems hard to fathom that it will get made; and that New Mutants movie is still in development and they hope to start shooting next summer.

All in all, it feels like a mixed bag. I think the X-Men movies desperately needed a full reboot to finally cast off every remnant of the original 2000 movie, and finally have a completely fresh start instead of the confusing, contradictory mess that currently exists. But they have Simon Kinberg writing this new reboot movie script! Kinberg has been involved in the franchise since X-Men 3, and while he has certainly overseen some highs, he's also been responsible for many, many lows. They desperately needed fresh blood to revitalize the franchise.

Uh, wasn't X-Force rumored to be getting its own movie with Deapdool as a guest popping up here and there ? I think it was something like, there was an unnamed project between Gambit and Deadpool and everybody was pretty sure it was X-Force (specifically not Deadpool). Did they simply retool that to Deapdool 3 because franchise ! ? Eh, why not. Though it might have ruffled a few feathers for pulling the rug under whoever was working on it that wasn't Ryan Reynolds.

Happy to see YJ come back, but I'll at least wait to make sure it keeps the same everything. I rather be wary like that.

I think that was the original plan, but they might be scaling back on that because of the turmoil the main franchise is going through, and so they could be integrating it into Deadpool to make it all a safer bet (they could always spin an X-Force movie out of Deadpool 3, for instance).

What we really need is like 5 or 6 years without an X-Men movie altogether, I think.  There's been an X-Men  in theaters at least every other year, and lately even more frequently than that, since 2000.  Give the franchise time to cool off, get it out of the public eye for a while, and then come back and say "Okay, now we're starting over."

Looks like it has a lot of promise so far.  I just hope they keep the more philosophical aspects of GitS intact and not just dumb it down into your bog-standard cyberpunk action movie.

I don't think it's a cover, I think they just slowed the original down.

Also is her name Major, because she just says "This is Major", not "This is the Major" or "This is Major Kusanagi"

I bet she probably says the latter in the actual movie and they just cut the name out to try and avoid any further whitewashing hoopla

Hey, Gilbert Gottfried's doing Mr. M. And Josh Keaton's doing Hal Jordan again. That sort of counts

The cast overall seems like a grab bag - Obviously Khary Payton is doing Cyborg (sounds like Go has totally affected his performance) then you've got weird choices like James Woods doing Lex and Dana Snyder doing Plastic Man

A TV adaptation of Y: The Last Man (one of my favorite comics ever) has been in the works for a while, but things are really starting to heat up: FX has hired Michael Green (who is currently co-showrunning the American Gods adaptation on Starz) to showrun the series (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/y-last-man-fx-series-taps-showrunner-947225), and he will cowrite the script alongside the co-creator/writer of the original comic, Brian K.

This is real. It's really happening. (http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2016/11/17/boom-studios-dc-and-twentieth-century-fox-consumer-products-announce-‘planet-of-the)

... though sadly the series seems to be a pretty conventional crossover (Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps vs. various [/Planet of the Apes characters with lantern rings), and not what this cover suggests: a more unique take on the crossover, featuring a tweaked version of the original movie's plot except Cornelius is also Green Lantern, which would be crazy and interesting and lead to some neat questions (e.g., what happened to whoever was the Earth GL when humanity fell and the apes took over, and why couldn't they stop it? Or how is Cornelius effected by being a GL and knowing that there's a vast universe teaming with intelligent, non-ape life? Etc. etc.)

There's a Tarzan vs. The Planet of the Apes crossover happening right now as well with a very unique take on how to crossover those two properties, so I dunno, this just feels like missed potential.

Deadpool 2 has found its director. THR reports that David Leitch (John Wick) has been tapped to helm the sequel. The studio is looking for a different director for Deadpool 3 as well.

Leitch replaces Tim Miller, who exited the film over creative differences. Screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are returning to write the movie with Ryan Reynolds back to star and produce alongside Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner.

In the 1989 Batman movie, Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent. He was excited to appear in one of the sequels as Two-Face, but when Joel Schumacher took over the third movie, the one that would've featured Williams's Dent getting turned into Two-Face, Schumacher and the studio decided to recast the role with Tommy Lee Jones. William was still under contract, so he got paid, but it was a pretty disappointing experience for him because he really wanted to play Two-Face.

That mistake has now been rectified. (http://www.avclub.com/article/28-years-later-billy-dee-williams-harvey-dent-tran-246674) BILLY DEE WILLIAMS IS GONNA PLAY TWO-FACE IN LEGO BATMAN. :D :D :D

The upper brass at Sony Pictures couldn't be retarded enough to pull that shit again, could they?

...But they are that retarded.

No, they're even more retarded than we all thought. Brace yourself:

Barbie is for little girls. They can keep the empowerment themes (that would be a first for Barbie) as long as they don't go for the buzz words and terrible "humor" that is definitely not aimed at little girls. In other words all they have to do is keep their main target in mind.

When Bryan Fuller announced he was departing from showrunner on Star Trek: Discovery a few months ago, there was still some hope that he would continue to contribute in some fashion.

Well, it turns out he's "not involved" in the production at all (http://www.ew.com/article/2016/12/02/star-trek-discovery-bryan-fuller), due to the time requirements in finishing up development of the first season of American Gods.

This is a pretty big bummer, but this quote has been passed around pretty irresponsibly by many people. The show, its settings and characters are still the product of his creative vision; he just wasn't able to juggle two shows at once, and the people who are now running the show are people Fuller has worked with in the past and whom Fuller trusts with his creative vision. Now he just isn't going to be able to contribute anything else besides what has already been submitted. It's definitely disappointing, but it's not the end of the world.

The very excellent comic book series The Woods (by James Tynion IV and Michael Dialynas) is being adapted as TV show on SyFy. (http://deadline.com/2016/12/the-woods-sci-fi-drama-based-on-comic-syfy-brad-peyton-1201863264/) The series is about an average American high school--along with every student and teacher inside--that is suddenly and mysteriously transported onto an extremely dangerous alien planet, in the middle of deeply wooded area.

Here's hoping the series is as good as the comics!

Warner Bros is putting together a remake of Little Shop of Horrors, to be helmed by the guy behind all of DC's live action superhero shows, Greg Berlanti (http://variety.com/2016/film/news/greg-berlanti-little-shop-of-horrors-reboot-for-warner-bros-1201936285/).

I'm... not sure how to feel about this. Musicals get re-staged all the time, sure, but that's in the theater. There doesn't seem like there's much of a point in doing another live action version of the musical (I guess it's theoretically possible that this turns out to be a remake of the original Roger Corman-produced Little Shop?).

Well, I guess this has the potential to prompt another release of the Frank Oz movie; hopefully we'll finally get a definitive version of that?

From the upcoming Power Rangers movie: Goldar!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C0DTxgAXUAEEYHV.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/LIS1ovs.jpg)

Grim 'n' gritty realistic Power Rangers is one of the most misguided creative directions for any property ever. I just don't get the thought process behind it all. Surely it'd make more sense to target kids more directly, and do a campy adaptation? Or maybe do something similar to the 21 Jump Street movies, where they poke fun at the concept and are overt comedies, while still retaining the core premise and taking it seriously, so that both kids and adults who were fans of the franchise could enjoy it? (obviously 21 Jump Street isn't for kids but you know what I mean) Anything would be better than this, which doesn't seem like it'd appeal to anyone.

Sucks that they're wasting a fun, talented cast like this.


Well, I'm sold.

Denis Villeneuve is directing and Roger Deakins is the cinematographer, so obviously it's jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

Grimdark and gritty power Rangers could be awesome in the right hands. You just need copious amounts of stylized violence and a decent art direction to make it work. Kamen Rider got its own grimdark and gritty spinoff (Kamen Rider Amazons) earlier this year, and while I haven't seen the show myself, the trailer looks a hundred times better than Power Rangers':



What the fuck happened to Goldar? he looks like a Saint Seiya toy after 10 minutes in a microwave.

I don't know why my mind went straight to them going for Zachary Quinto for Sasuke, but now I got that image of them getting the main trio of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura a bit older than they normally are in their series.  I can't imagine how much they're going to try to compress into one movie.  Up to Orochimaru fighting the Hokage?  Zabuza and Haku?  Skip straight into Shippuden?  This same issue is plaguing me for the GitS movie they want, trying to fit two shows and another separate movie into one.

Eh, really shouldn't judge it until we even see it for the first time but I'd be lying if my hopes weren't already below sea level.  And I'm not even that big a Naruto fan at all.

As much as I'd hate to admit it, a Naruto Evolution deal would actually make some sense.  The guy is in a ninja class, getting trained into a ninja military and such.  Not that I would wish that for it.

Was Warcraft terrible?  I thought it just didn't sell in the U.S. due to being more Lord of the Rings/Hobbit business but not being in their world, so people passed on it.  I remember it being huge in China being a topic in the news, China pushing for a sequel and rumblings going about them adding the panda race from WoW in it.

Assassin's Creed...I kinda figured it wouldn't be great.  Pretty maybe, but pushing away from Altair and Ezio, especially Ezio, was just a poor choice.  And the present time stuff was all building up to the world ending on 2012, and that's already outdated so they had to fill the gap there with some new nonsense.

Video Game Movies are somehow  - almost - always changing characters, whole scenarios and try to include a story and amotions that are simply not needed in a video game movie.

That's why - in my theory and opinon - the classic Mortal Kombat that just retold the story of Mortal Kombat the game and had its focus on the battles and sometimes stupid special moves and fatalities and one liners like Cage's "These were 500 dollar sunglasses" or "Your Soul Is Mine" that made the game successful, and more important..entertaining to many fans of the game.

Did they add a damn love story in AC the movie?

I've always thought the Silent Hill movie was pretty good (the sequel not so much, even then it's that kind of movie I'll watch when I'm bored and there is nothing else to do)... the first Resident Evil movie was alright, the first Mortal Kombat movie is good too.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on December 20, 2016, 07:55:21 pm
Silent Hill falls apart completely in the third act, when everything suddenly grinds to a halt for a 15 minute exposition dump.

I guess it also loses steam and starts running ragged when everyone gets to the church; the rest of the movie from that point on doesn't work very well. But the big exposition dump is still the point where the movie just tanks completely and never recovers. Which is too bad, because it was really effective in the first half.

But yeah, I dunno about all this stuff about how being faithful is the only thing these movies need to be good. The issues go way, way deeper than just textual fidelity, especially when discussing the two big adaptations from this year, which not only had Blizzard and Ubisoft overseeing their respective productions, but were extraordinarily faithful to the source material. The Assassin's Creed movie is a bit complicated in this regard, in that it's technically a sidestory to the main series, and takes place in the same universe that the games do, so it's not technically an adaptation; in any event, the movie is extremely faithful to the story and gameplay elements of the game series.

But it's still terrible. Faithfulness to source material doesn't automatically make any of the other elements in the movie any better, and can sometimes be bad thing: the Warcraft movie carefully tried to faithfully adapt as much as it could, and in doing so, the movie ended up being a confusing mess filled with redundant characters who were only there because they were also in the games.

Things have changed a lot since the 90s. Games are now technologically sophisticated enough to depict narratives that are suitable to be adapted into other mediums, and pretty much everyone has realized that you can't just put out a movie that barely has anything to do with its source material and expect people to embrace it. But the actual quality of the movies haven't really improved, and that's what really needs to be focused on.

sometimes terrible movies make a lot of money and it's usually due to name recognition (batman v superman)

Its almost like they took the plot of The Producers literally... and it worked

There's always going to be something lost in translation when making a movie out of game, because they're such fundamentally different mediums.  When you're writing a story for a video game, you have to keep the mindset that the person experiencing that story is also going to be an active participant in the events of the story and causing it to progress, unlike in a movie where they're simply a passive observer.  Writing for a player is entirely different than writing for a viewer.  So the argument could be made that harder you try to adhere to the source material of the game, the worse off your movie will be since you're only putting a lens on the fact that that story was meant to be played, and not just viewed.

not really. most games don't give the player the freedom of choices or even make the player himself a character in the story.
the ones that do are really the ones that don't work as movies, games like bioshock or fallout 3.

Technically they do. Even something as simple as "which enemy I kill first" is technically an active choice the player makes that affects the narrative. And as such Fallout 3 technically does not give the player any more freedom of choice then an average call of duty single player, since at the end of the day, no matter what choice you make you still end up down a path as designed by the developers.

It's not about player choice, it's about how the audience interacts with the story.  Even the most basic, linear game has to have a story that is driven by player input by design.  Even something like Super Mario Bros, whose entire story is "save the princess from the turtles;" That's still a story that doesn't happen unless the audience is actively making it happen as part of their interaction with it.  And when you try to recreate that experience in a movie by just pumping it full of as many things from the game as you can just because they are from the game, you can't end up the same experience because the fundamental way the audience sees that story is different.  Again, look at Super Mario Bros.  and what happened when they just tried to put all of the stuff from the game on film and call it a movie.

Rebecca is finally back omggggggg!!!!!!

And to think this is like, the first time Chris, Rebecca and Leon interacted with eachother at the same time. Makes me think back in the Survival Horror era of RE when the S.T.A.R.S had kind of like a separate storyline compared to ones like Claire Redfield and Leon in RE: 2. (Speaking of RE:2, when is that remake coming, Capcom Co., Ltd.? You already took out the fan game and promised us a remake! Now where is it?)

It's an apt comparison.

I mean, Code Veronica kind of clued me in to what was up when Chris's intro was freehand climbing up a cliff like he was in Mission Impossible 2. The only game you can argue that he's not an action movie star in is the first and I'm not really sure it would be all that good of an argument

I think it's more on the lines of: what's the point of making them impossibly skilled agents with elite weapons training if you're just gonna give them moments of comic book superpowers on top of it? It's not that super-reflexes is less ridiculous than super-strength, the two are just different in tone.

I will say that given how RE has changed over the years, I guess it's not that bewildering?

Really not big on Rebecca getting kidnapped.
It really does feel like a real bad call. Especially when this is the first (substantial) role she's had in any Resident Evil in over a decade!

RE was usually about a bunch of normal dudes trynna survive through a zombie filled horror(Even if they were trained soldiers/police officers they were still normal dudes)
Not tap into their inner Kenshiro and beat the shit out of an innocent rock that was way too giant to be even moved by Chris,let alone punched away
I'm not really sure if it ever really was? Like, even the very first game stars two elite members of an anti-terrorism task force: Chris is an expert marksman and ex-Air Force Pilot (he somehow managed to have a long, decorated Air Force career by the age of 23, which is when he left the military and joined S.T.A.R.S.), while Jill has the even more ridiculous and implausible backstory of an ex-member of the Delta Force, who left when she was 21 years old?!?! And indeed, the game doesn't really treat them as average, normal people. They get put into crazy, over the top death traps (2 separate Indiana Jones style "outrun the giant boulder" traps!), and the climax of the game is indistinguishable from any other schlocky action B-movie.

True, Resident Evil 2 has Leon and Claire, but Claire is really the only normal person there. Leon is a rookie cop, sure, but he's still a super-well trained who was meant to be part of a special new division to replace S.T.A.R.S.; Claire and Leon still do some pretty crazy stuff in 2, in any event! And then all the the other classic series games starred survivors of previous games, or had some other highly trained military veteran as one of the leads, as in the case of Resident Evil 0.

Kinda takes the whole 'survival horror' conceit of the franchise out behind the shed when you're literally playing as Superman, though.  Not much to be actually scared of when your main character can bench press a dump truck.
Aww c'mon, it's not that bad. Chris just barely manages to push over a big rock. It's not like he picks it up with one hand and starts hitting Wesker with it or something.

The series has always been very prone to over-the-top action; I strongly disagree with the idea that the action-y elements are some foreign thing that was introduced to the series in 4/5, and ended up poisoning the franchise. The games have never been particularly scary, and they've always had elements of over-the-top action. It's just that technology and game development have improved enough so that a lot of the limitations the RE1 developers had no longer exist. You can trace a clear line of progression as the series goes through that advancement of technology and game design techniques, from the awkwardly staged boulder chase in RE1, to the crazy, over-the-top CG cutscene finale of RE2 (wherein Claire hangs on to the bottom of a moving train that's escaping from a giant exploding secret base, as the train itself is in the midst of a self-destruct countdown), to Jill's constant explosive escapes in RE3, to RE:CV's Matrix-inspired Wesker cutscenes (and also Claire's sudden ability to pull off crazy, John Woo-esque gun moves), to the crazy acrobatics Leon pulls off in RE4, all the way to the boulder punch in RE5.

Which is pretty unfair IMO, because the Angry Birds movie is an INSULT towards the original games. Like seriously, birds with legs and arms?! And a very cliched "losers become heroes" plotline on top, that has absolutely NOTHING lost there and was 100% unnecesary? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

To be fair Angry Birds is a family movie, it's way easier to make a movie out of that franchise than the majority of other video games out there that have a much more complex story.

Granted that the Angry Birds movie has a story that doesn't follow the games (never played them but I don't think the therapy plot were in them), but again for this specific type of game it's not too hard to come up with an idea that can appeal to an audience (and to be fair Angry Birds probably did that better than most VG movie adaptions in that regard imo).

Quote
“Development across the board this year is a little slower than usual, so we’re not, unfortunately, ready to make an announcement about it, but we’re very encouraged.”

The X-Men drama is being developed by Burn Notice creator Matt Nix. The series does not yet have an official title, but casting is already said to be underway.

Fox has not announced any specific mutants appearing in the new X-Men series, but it is said to focus on a mutant family that joins an underground mutant resistance when anti-mutant legislation is passed into law. The premise sounds similar to the idea behind the original "Days of Future Past" comic book story that inspired the 2014 X-Men: Days of Future Past feature film.

More on Legion.

However, you shouldn’t expect to see the series do any crossovers from the get-go. No, if you ask showrunner Noah Hawley, Legion has to earn the right to have crossovers.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Hawley was asked if Legion might adopt crossover elements, and this is what the higher-up had to say:


“I’m firm believer the show has to stand on its own two feet. For a crossover to be possible we have to earn that right through the quality of our storytelling and hopefully our popularity. David’s origin story hasn’t changed, so we haven’t changed that connection to the X-Men universe.”

I bet those are pretty much all the jokes the final cut of the movie will have.

The Zords and Goldar look even worse in motion than I imagined. What's the point of using CGI if your main monster looks stiffer, less detailed and less realistic than a guy in a fire damaged rubber suit?

Funnily enough, it's something that exists in Marvel comics too. I'm just pretty surprised that the Fox movies, out of all of the many Marvel properties, would be including this weird little metajoke.

So basically, in the Marvel (comics) universe, there's a company named Marvel Comics that also exists in that universe, and which puts out comics based on the superheroes that inhabit that world. For characters and teams with public identities, like the Fantastic Four, these comics are heightened, exaggerated retelling of the various adventures they've had. (for people with secret identities like Spider-Man, the comics have to make considerably more up because the general public and the people making the comics don't know anything about their personal lives).

This has been a fun little detail that's existed since the very first days of the Marvel universe, and has led to many fun moments such as Doctor Doom accosting the Marvel universe versions of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee (who were behind the Fantastic Four comic in the Marvel universe too!) for depicting him badly in their comics, or the Dan Slott run on She-Hulk, where she worked at a law firm specializing in superhuman cases and which used Marvel comics as legal evidence in court (because they technically count as official records!).

There's a long tradition of comic books about a character existing in that character's universe if they are publicly known

The kayfabe reason is typically self-deprecating in that those slick comic book writers are making money off someone else's stories

The real reason is usually to explain a continuity issue, do a callback or use the all important "This isn't a story" plot beat to let you know something is serious

I haven't seen the trailer yet, so I'm interested to see which one of the three it is

Seems to be the latter, with an extra dose of "this stuff is stupid, cartoonish, and for babies; it didn't happen in our cool adult realistic world", which is always fun to see in a superhero movie.

Finally got a chance to look at the trailer. Still pretty excited, but why does the comicbook version of Wolverine have a costume he never wore?

My biggest wish is that this pays off with Hugh putting on the traditional costume one last, first time for the final battle but it's most likely just so they can get in one last yellow spandex joke, isn't it?


Also watched that Power Rangers trailer, still looks like crap with the same "quality" CG that all these D grade movies have now

this looks pretty cool

Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, is getting turned into a TV miniseries (http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/neil-gaiman-good-omens-amazon-limited-series-1201963763/); the miniseries will be a co-production between Amazon and BBC.

When I first saw the headlines for this I got pretty nervous (because Amazon's original TV content is all pretty meh, with the exception of the fantastic Transparent, and it doesn't really seem like they've got a good handle on the whole making TV thing), but it looks like the BBC is doing the majority of the heavy lifting here, so hopefully things turn out well. The book certainly deserves a great adaptation!

The First Avenger had Captain America comics as an easter egg. That adds an extra layer of meta fiction since in-universe he was a comic book character before actually doing anything heroic.
Ooh right, good call.

I guess the comics in Logan are more akin to the way Marvel Comics works in the Marvel Universe, though, since they're semi-accurate depictions of stuff that has already happened.

Yea but that made kind of sense because they used him just for propaganda at the start.^^

Maybe it's a timeline where they not cut the last scene from Wolverine 2 where he get's the costume. ;)

Yea that would be cool if he would use it at least once.

Post by: TrinitroRoy on January 21, 2017, 03:01:33 pm
I thought people could already tell from the trailers. But I guess I might be wrong there...

Funnily enough, I enjoyed the original Transformers when I was a kid, so watching the movies was...well, let's say the first one was between okay and meh (but only meh because of Shia Labeouf being an uninteresting human character and still a big focus in a movie about robots turning into vehicles), while the later movies definitely got worse even when ignoring Shia.
And as someone who enjoyed the original Superman, Betman Veeeee Supperman Dawn of Fuck This is pure cancer for me, but then again, it's Zack Snyder, the sick fuck who wanted to see Batman being raped in the Nolanverse movies, and I automatically hate everything that just as much bears Zack Snyder's mere name, let alone him being the director.

To be honest, maybe that kind of comparison wont help me decide, especially since I never liked the original Power Rangers to begin with, unlike the original Transformers and Superman. A better comparison would be another "dark" reinterpretation of an older show I didn't enjoy, and I don't know if such thing even exists...
So yeah, I guess only time can tell then...

Eh I think Shane Black said there will be connections to the first 2 Predator movie, so like why not make a link to Predators as well, probably something about the planet preserve for hunting and stuff... they could do some sort of cameo or whatever, probably Alice Braga's character (Izabelle) would be good enough since she had intel about the events of the first movie.

For now, I'm just curious to see if they'll do the Himiko / Yamatai story of the first game or something original in the first place. And if it's an original story, whether it's a new origin that replaces the first game and she's discovering her badass self (well, same origin story but revamped into something new) or if it comes after the Yamatai story and she already is a rookie badass. I loved the huge "real world mythology" aspects of the two games.

I dunno, that'd just kinda completely suck, in my opinion.  If you're going to bother specifying you want to take the reboot's angle, do so with the story that made it so appealing.  I mean, I enjoyed the Assassin's Creed movie, but all through it I was wondering "Gee, this would have been just that much better if it was about Altair or Ezio" instead of just doing something random and new with just some ties to remind you what property it is supposed to be about.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm going to see it regardless, so complaining over nothing I guess.  Sounds bad saying stay away from something new, now that I think of it.  Just I would have liked it if it was doing the Yamatai story.  And it was a brutal story, so softening any blows feels like a disservice.

Over a decade ago, an animated movie adaptation of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse was in the works; with a script by the insanely great comic book writer Warren Ellis and art direction by James Jean (best known for his gorgeously painted covers to the comic Fables), it seemed like something that was too good to be true.
(http://i.imgur.com/P5tuii9.jpg)
And unfortunately, it was. The project never got off the ground, despite having a full script and loads of concept art made for it. It was pretty depressing.

BUT THEN, SUDDENLY: Netflix announced an animated Castlevania series is coming to the service this year, and Warren Ellis is writing the first two seasons?!?!?!
Quote
Inspired by the classic video game series, “Castlevania” is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself. The animated series is from Frederator Studios, a Wow! Unlimited Media company, written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert, and Adi Shankar.
so, definitely sounds like the first season/arc will be covering the third game (and presumably will be drawing greatly from Ellis's movie script). Hopefully James Jean is being brought on board too!

A while back, John Carpenter let it drop that he would be executive producing a new Halloween movie (and maybe also might do the music for it?); yesterday, he announced some more insane news: Danny McBride (Pineapple Express, Eastbound and Down) is co-writing the script with David Gordon Green (director of Pineapple Express and several episodes of Eastbound and Down) who is also directing?! Holy shit?!?!?!?!

 (http://deadline.com/2017/02/new-halloween-movie-david-gordon-green-danny-mcbride-1201907337/)
Quote
“John Carpenter’s Halloween was a monumental horror film experience for me and millions of film fans,” Gordon Green said in a release confirming the project. “It’s an honor to be working with this creative team to carve a new path in the tale of Michael Myers.”

Added McBride: “David and I are thrilled to step outside of our comedic collaborations and dive into a dark and vicious horror. Nobody will be laughing.”
This is insane and batshit and just might be crazy enough to work.

Wow, that is some universally terrible voice acting there.  I don't think there was a single decent line read in that entire trailer. 
The DC animated movies have had some real, real bad voice work (but there's also quite a few gems); I know that Andrea Romano (the casting director and voice director for all the DCAU shows) is still working on some of the DC movies, but it seems like she's not doing much casting these days and has mostly just been doing voice direction. And while her work is superb, even she can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I'm not sure who's casting these things, but they seriously need to step up their game.

"Death Note will star Nat Wolff (Paper Towns, The Intern) as Light Turner (Light Yagami in the original comics), a young man who gains control of a supernatural notebook, the “Death Note,” that kills anyone whose name is written inside with intent. He goes power hungry and begins to kill anyone who he deems “unworthy” of life. Enter: Ryuk (voiced by Willem Dafoe), the demonic original owner of the Death Note, with a sick sense of humor and zero fucks to give. Ryuk is so amused by Light’s “I’m a god” fever dream that he ends up following the young man around. Death ensues."

It's amusing to see those on the right rant and rave about how liberals need 'safe spaces' and call them 'snowflakes' yet a show on Netflix that talks about the dreaded debate on race is making them mad. Hell, I find it amusing that the character there talked about what's OK for white people to dress up on Halloween... and BTW, what they showed is NOT blackface. They were all in brown. True blackface would be a black face and giant ass lips.

... isn't that the exact justification Mac used when he played Murtaugh in Leathal Weapon 5?

I've been worried for a bit about that TV adaptation of the very great comic series Scalped, which was announced around a year ago, and hasn't had further updates since. Thankfully that's changed: the pilot now has nabbed a director, and will start filming relatively soon!

Parody in that it is a conceptual straight faced hyperbole. Every scene is straightfaced and serious and believable. If you watched it and enjoyed every minute of it literally - you're not stupid, you're honest. That's what I wanted. And when it ended and you laugh and go what the fuck did I just watch, you're acknowledging you just legitimately enjoyed a fucking Might Morphin Power Rangers movie where they fucked porn stars, did coke, and blew people's brains out a face value. THAT'S irony, THAT's the comedy, THAT's the parody.

From the director's AMA. (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2xeany/iama_joseph_kahn_director_of_powerrangers_fan/) I remember watching it, thought it was pretty stupid, and moved on. Not really interested in more of it.

Nothing new there, the "I was intentionally aiming to be funny" shtick has been done over and over again in an attempt to save face when their serious projects get scoffed at (ie: Tommy Wiseau claiming that The Room was ALWAYS supposed to be a comedy).

I unironically and unapologetically liked that gritty Power Rangers parody and plan to watch Shakar's animated series if it hits Netflix. But I'm pretty sure it'll be aborted when (yeah when, not if) the new live action movie bombs hard. And that's assuming Saban even greenlights it instead of C&D'ing Shakar's ass.

I'm pretty confused about the rights situation, like, do they have the rights, are they still in talks with Saban, or are they just going ahead and preparing work on the first season without any approval at all?

This all kinda makes me uneasy about that Castlevania series cuz Shakar's doing that as well. At least that has a release date (a release date for this year, even), at least...

Following the success of Riverdale—which is so fucking good—Archie Comics has signed a deal with Warner Bros. TV to produce more adaptations of their properties (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/archie-comics-signs-development-deal-warner-bros-tv-975805).

The CEO of Archie specifically talks about some of their lesser known properties like Katy Keene and the superhero characters from their Dark Circle imprint, but I'm sure there's room for Riverdale spinoffs about Sabrina the Teenage Witch or something.

The absolutely wonderful but low-rated Review is getting a third season. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/andy-dalys-review-end-shortened-867351) But it will also be its last (a conscious decision made by co-creator and star Andy Daly), and will only be a few episodes. Which makes sense I supposed, given everything that happened towards the end of the second season!
Well, it's been almost a year since it was announced, but Comedy Central has finally put season 3 on their schedule: (http://deadline.com/2017/02/comedy-central-review-premiere-third-final-season-andy-daly-1201913229/) it will premiere on March 16th.

Shane Black is writing and directing, so there'll definitely be some comedy, but from the various interviews he's done, it doesn't sound like it will stray that far from the usual Predator movie mold (incidentally,  also announced today was that this new movie would be a "hard R").

Well, about the kid... I have a pretty crazy theory about what the plot of the movie will be, albeit based on pretty much nothing but a tweet, the barebones premise (Predator in the suburbs), and that cast pic. So anyways, that Shane Black tweets said "Every Predator movie should be framed as a hunt, IMHO.  So many possibilities..." (https://www.twitter.com/BonafideBlack/status/833445735509041152); interesting inclusion of "so many possibilities" there, huh. And that got me thinking: why would a Predator be hunting in the suburbs? It just seems like it wouldn't be an ideal location... unless it wasn't the one hunting. What if instead the Predator is wounded or lost contact with its ship, and is being hunted by the military (who want its tech or whatever)? And its befriends a kid that tries to help it escape, like some bizarro version of E.T., but with spine-ripping?

I'm sure that would turn a lot of die-hards off, but it sounds pretty good to me! But again, it's all completely and utterly made up, based on the scant amount of information available.

I've only seen a couple of Justice League Action episodes, but they've all been really good.

... but it's still very weird to Constantine and Swamp Thing pop up in a show made for children.

Another series created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock has gone to pilot (after 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and a few other shows that are in the pilot/development phase): The Sackett Sisters, which will star Casey Wilson (Saturday Night Live, Happy Endings) and Busy Phillips (Freaks and Geeks, Cougar Town) as two estranged sisters who perform a "Sully Sullenberger-esque act of public heroism", and have to deal with their newfound fame and notoriety together. (http://[url=http://deadline.com/2017/03/sackett-sisters-casey-wilson-star-nbc-comedy-pilot-tina-fey-busy-philipps-1202032946/) And Bradley Whitford will play their dad!

Sony has officially announced a Venom movie, set to be released October 2018. (http://screencrush.com/venom-movie-2018-release/) That seems pretty early for a big blockbuster movie, at least one that doesn't seem to have had much prior development time?

The other worrisome bit here is that this will be completely unconnected to the current Spider-Man movie franchise, cuz Marvel Studios is co-producing those. So this Venom movie won't be allowed to reference Tom Holland's Spider-Man at all (presumably they won't involve Spider-Man at all), which seems... unwise?

They've been considering it for a long time, since before Amazing 2, so maybe they know exactly what they want, even without a final script ? Whether what they want is good or bad, maybe they think it'll speed it up a lot. I mean, it's 100% going to be delayed a year, but it'll still speed it up.
Now how much do you want to bet that this movie is rated R or the hardest PG-13 ever seen because Sony learned the wrong lessons from Fox?

Development for story, sure, and they might even have a finalized (or close to final) script, but there doesn't seem to be anything on casting, finding a director, or so on. And most big blockbusters would already be filming right now if they were aiming for a release date that's only a year away...

What about Miles Morales?
Seems unlikely that they'd try to do a live action spinoff from an animated movie.

Also maybe a joint character? Who knows what the deal entails.
There's no details out yet about the plot or whatever, but the original report where this was announced (http://www.thewrap.com/sony-spider-man-venom-date/) says that it will be completely unconnected to the MCU stuff.

http://uproxx.com/movies/power-rangers-review/

Quote
Power Rangers has one of the most zig-zagged tones of any big budget studio film I’ve seen in a long time. It’s jarring at times how often it goes back and forth between “gritty” and “silly.” Here’s an example: There’s a scene in which Kimberly Hart (Naomi Scott), a.k.a. “the Pink Ranger,” admits that she distributed revenge porn to humiliate a classmate, and now she feels she’s an awful person. Kimberly even goes on to describe in detail how she was forced to sit in a room with the victim’s father and watch this man look at this explicit photo of his own daughter. Not long after this, there’s campy dialogue about “stopping Rita Repulsa from getting to the Krispy Kreme.”

Quote
Rounding out the team is Trini (Becky G), who is getting some attention for being a gay Power Ranger. Personally, I found this scene frustrating because it was noncommittal and it reminded me a lot of what we saw in Beauty and the Beast with LeFou. Trini is basically asked point blank if she’s gay, and her answer is she doesn’t like labels.

Quote
There’s the most popular boy in school, former football star Jason Scott (Dacre Montgomery, who seems to be doing his finest Chris Pine-as-Captain Kirk impression the whole movie; honestly, I just want to refer to him Chris Fine) who was suspended from the team after that whole “jerking off a bull” incident. And then there’s the aforementioned revenge pornographer, Kimberly. There’s also super nerd, Billy Cranston (RJ Cyler), and super bro, Zack (Ludi Lin), who responds “only in the shower” when asked if he’s ever morphed before. And, yes, that would make the second masturbation joke of the movie.

We don’t get to see the Power Rangers actually as the Power Rangers wearing their armor until 92 minutes into this movie. (Which probably leads you to your next question, so I will go ahead and answer it: Power Rangers is 124 minutes long

You thought it was dead. You thought it had finally given up. You thought you had finally escaped it.

But you were wrong. We were all wrong. Warner Bros. has again started up development on its long gestating adaptation of Akira, having whittled down the director shortlist for to two up-and-coming directors (http://www.slashfilm.com/akira-director-narrowed-down/).

Speaking of ill-advised moves by a major studio, it has been all but officially revealed that Sony is indeed putting together an R-rated Venom movie, one that will be completely unconnected to its new, shared Spider-Man movie franchise.

Just came back from it.
I only saw the '95 movie once a long time ago and I don't remember a thing of the actual plot because I thought it was either too complex, disjointed, or drowned in noise (also I didn't really watch much anime at the time). This version is pretty much straight forward, reworking the big elements and big scenes into something much simpler. It's standard SF with machines and what makes a person human, but it's really fine as far as SF goes. It's like a popcorn movie, but actually good, really well done. They completely revamped the Puppet Master into something a lot more cliché and simpler, but it's good enough to tie him with "Motoko" ; they give some strong hints to the original version but they seem to cover their ass at the last minute to make it stomachable.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
It's not a shameless Hollywoodian scavenging of a famous Japanese movie, it's obvious that everyone involved was a fan of the original version, they make sure to show a boatload of details, scenes and even shots, taken straight from it. they probably hope to slip a couple of sequels.
Good stuff. Not a straight copy, but you'll probably like it.

?

There's a couple of scenes with busy streets like Batou feeding stray dogs. We just don't see pedestrians most of the time because the action focuses on the upper street levels to show skyscrapers and holo-billboards. I actually kind of like it, it drives the point there's a strong socio-economical rift between the population, an element of the manga mostly forgotten in the 95 version. Now, that I think about it the 95 version wasn't too concerned with the social problems in the GitS world like rampant human exploitation and unchecked capitalism.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on April 02, 2017, 04:25:36 pm
Yeah, the pedestrian streets at night, I meant the roads are completely empty. I'd understand if there's a pedestrian level and a car level, but when they're driving, there's no one else, and it's the middle of the day. Batou and Mira do a 180 in the middle of a crossroad or something without a single other car in sight, the garbage truck scene had only 4 vehicles involved and it was all section 9, the truck, and the target, which apparently was the only regular car driving around in that neighborhood. I think in a scene that has other people, Mira also walks around in the middle of a road and there's like only one car, for some reason. Either it's a street where cars can go and she shouldn't walk in the middle of it, or it's a pedestrian street and there shouldn't be any car. It's weird, not very clear.

Universal has officially put a Fast and Furious spinoff—starring the Rock and Jason Statham—into development (http://deadline.com/2017/04/dwayne-johnson-jason-statham-fate-of-the-furious-spinoff-universal-pictures-1202073677/)

Sounds fun, but they didn't really do a great job at transitioning Statham's character into a heroic character in Fast 8. Statham's natural charisma was nearly enough to do it by itself, but... he still killed Han! Until they inevitably reveal that Han actually faked his death or something, there's just something wrong with seeing Shaw warmly accepted by the Fast Family.

Fox has revealed its upcoming release slate for its X-Men movies (http://deadline.com/2017/04/deadpool-2-new-mutants-dark-phoenix-bohemian-rhapsody-steven-spielberg-pentagon-papers-1202075186/): along with the already announced Deadpool 2 and New Mutants movies, they've officially confirmed that the next mainline X-Men movie will be X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

They still have a few more movies on the contracts of all the new cast members introduced in X-Men: Apocalypse, and I'm fairly certain it's been heavily rumored that James McAvoy is open to returning as Professor X (Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, however, seem like they're done with the franchise). But what really concerns me is that the other big rumor about the Dark Phoenix movie is that Fox's longtime Marvel movie head writer/producer Simon Kinberg will not only write but also make his directorial debut on the project. Kinberg's scripts for the Fox Marvel movies have been pretty hit or miss (more misses than hits, though), which is certainly concerning, but I think the most important thing to consider here is that the X-Men movie franchise desperately needs new blood to take over: Deadpool, Logan, and Legion have all proved that with new, talented creators, given ample creative freedom, are perfectly capable of coming up with really good, refreshing movies/shows within the moribund X-Men movie franchise. Get someone new on the mainline X-Men movies too!!!

Remember that live action Teen Titans series? It's back in development, and will be debuting on a new DC Comics streaming service. Season three of Young Justice will also appear on this platform (http://deadline.com/2017/04/dc-digital-service-titans-young-justice-outsiders-1202076831/) (and not, as previously rumored, on Netflix).

What's really interesting to me about this streaming thing is that in addition to having TV shows, the press release says that the platform will also offer comics. Perhaps this will be DC's equivalent of Marvel's "Netflix, but for comics" platform, Marvel Unlimited? I think this would be a really, really smart idea if it was in fact that same basic idea as Marvel Unlimited, but paired with TV shows. You'd easily be able to connect people who aren't familiar with comics at all, but love the various DC shows, to the actual comics. Obviously there would need to be a considerable amount of attention and curation that would need to be implemented, but jeez, that would really really be a good idea.

Quote
Among the main cast, only Hansen, who is half Thai, is of Asian descent.  One could argue, however, that the other cast members aren’t entirely white as well, so completely branding it as whitewashing may be inaccurate.

As Erin Chew of YOMYOMF points out, at least two other cast members are persons of color. While Emilie Cocquerel is indeed Caucasian, Luciane Buchanan reportedly has a Pacific Islander/Maori background, and Josh Thomson is of Maori background.

It may also be noted, that while the show is based on the Chinese classic, it will be more of a remake of the hugely popular 1970s Japanese series called “Monkey Magic”.

The version, which has been known for taking liberties with the characters and story arches, even precedes the Chinese-produced TV shows based on “Journey to the West”. This may explain why this new show looks unfamiliar since it is following the approach of the Japanese show and may even be a complete departure from the original epic.

Of course, what can be difficult to deny is the missed opportunity the casting of “The Legend of Monkey” to aspiring Asian-Australian artists who would have made the new show at least closer to home. With an abundance of talented Asians out there, this show’s casting could have been done so much better.

I seem to recall that Ridley Scott and/or Denis Villeneuve saying that the new movie would somehow allow both the possibilities, even with an aged Deckard.

There's gonna be a new Hellboy movie!!! (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/hellboy-reboot-works-stranger-things-star-david-harbour-1001462)... but it's a reboot. No del Toro or Perlman: instead, Stranger Things star David Harbour is in talks to play the title role; Neil Marshall (director of Dog Soldiers and The Descent)) is attached to direct.

So, yeah. Lot of people are angry about this. And it is pretty disappointing that del Toro and Perlman were never able to get a third movie off the ground! But I dunno, I think it's important to keep an open mind about this. del Toro's Hellboy movies were great adaptations of the character and world, but they were pretty dang del Toro-y (especially the second one, which was a wholly original storyline). I can definitely see the value in doing another set of movies that are more in tune with the original Mike Mignola sensibility (this certainly appears to be exactly that, since Mignola himself is the one who announced the new movie)

they're being very vague about whether this is gonna be a followup to the 2012 Dredd movie, but since (Dredd producer) Adi Shankar isn't listed anywhere in the announcement, it doesn't really seem like it? I mean, I guess they could probably still get Karl Urban?

There's gonna be an animated Deadpool show on FXX, and the showrunner is Donald Glover?!?!?! (http://deadline.com/2017/05/marvels-deadpool-animated-action-comedy-series-order-fxx-donald-glover-1202088704/) That's pretty damn cool!

Since it's animated, and since Marvel TV is co-producing, I think there's a fairly good chance there can be actual crossover between Deadpool and non-X-Men characters? That would be nice, at least.

https://twitter.com/netflix/status/864856958213410818

Quote
At last, Netflix has completed long-gestating deals for a fifth season of Arrested Development, due in 2018, five years after the beloved (but low-rated) former Fox series was revived.  The entire cast will be back, including Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross and Alia Shawkat. And Ron Howard, whose Imagine Entertainment produces the series, will again serve as narrator.  The series will begin production on 15 new episodes in July.

“In talks with Netflix, we all felt that that stories about a narcissistic, erratically behaving family in the building business -- and their desperate abuses of power -- are really underrepresented on TV these days,” said series creator Mitchell Hurwitz, in a statement.

Tom Hardy is dropping the mask he wore in The Dark Knight Rises for a starring role as the titular villain in Sony Pictures’ Venom, Sony Pictures confirmed today.

Venom is the first of many Marvel-based projects that Sony plans to release over the coming years.

Knowing how Sony's treated Spider-Man in the past, the instant Homecoming turns a fraction of a profit Sony's going to try and yank all the rights back from Marvel, make as many sequels and spinoffs as they can, and assume they can coast into easy money from sheer good will.

also Tom Holland is gonna play Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie, which is being positioned as a prequel/origin story type dealio. (http://deadline.com/2017/05/tom-holland-uncharted-nathan-drake-movie-spider-man-homecoming-shawn-levy-1202099530/) Huh.

So, I went through James Wan's catalog, and I gotta say ... I'm not very impressed. He produced the Insidious and the Conjuring sagas, the most mild and biteless of horror movies. I dunno man, I still say RE should stay dead, nothing good will come out of this.

Also Paul W.S Anderson made Event Horizon which I just love, not that it has to do with the topic but I just wanted to say it :x



On a different topic, reviews for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie have arrived and... welp: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pirates_of_the_caribbean_dead_men_tell_no_tales

No one's ever gonna live up to Arleen Sorkin, but I thought Rauch was pretty decent; it's just weird seeing the voice come out of the exact same version of the character that Sorkin originated and defined.

Speaking of, is this like, an actual DCAU project? It's pretty mindblowing how much better the animation is for this than any of the other DC animated movies; there's a reason those Bruce Timm designs work!

hell fucking yessssssssssssssssssssssssss

So, I went through James Wan's catalog, and I gotta say ... I'm not very impressed. He produced the Insidious and the Conjuring sagas, the most mild and biteless of horror movies. I dunno man, I still say RE should stay dead, nothing good will come out of this.
Eh, I think he's got a pretty good record for horror movies. But I kinda hope this RE reboot movie doesn't try that direction anyway: the games have almost always been a series of the game equivalent of schlocky B-movies in the action-horror genre (and IMO, that's a spectrum broad enough to cover everything from the insane and ludicrous highs of RE5 to the more grounded and tense—but still pretty ridiculous—RE7).

Hopefully, Wan producing the new movie doesn't mean they're trying to chase a purely horror Resident Evil movie, cuz he's been directing a few action movies lately (Furious 7 and the upcoming Aquaman). I just don't think that's been a strength of the franchise!

Universal has long been trying to develop their own cinematic universe (à la Marvel and DC), one using their famous movie monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. They've even had a false start in Dracula Untold, which was supposed to launch the entire franchise, but has since been quietly forgotten.

But now they're going all in.

The "Dark Universe" will be kicked off by next month's The Mummy, followed by Bride of Frankenstein (directed by Bill Condon, and starring Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's monster). Characters who will appear in The Mummy but go on to star in more of these monster movies are Tom Cruise's character, Sofia Boutella (the eponymous Mummy), and Russell Crowe's Dr. Jekyll. The final member of the initial ensemble is Johnny Depp, who will play the Invisible Man (it seems unwise to attach the visibly-on-a-downward-spiral Johnny Depp in anything, but then again, he's just gonna be doing voice over lines cuz his character is invisible; no need for the production to get put on hold until 3PM everyday because that's when he decides he wants to get up, nor will there be any problems involving the earpiece he uses because he refuses to learn lines anymore).

But uh, yeah. This is a thing. Lots of companies have tried very hard to replicate Marvel's enormous success with their own cinematic universes, and they've all panned out, with maybe the one exception of DC (and that seems kinda debatable at this point). I don't think this is an inherently bad idea, but I can't help but see this as putting the cart before the horse: it just seems odd to announce all this before the first movie has even come out.

And speaking of ill-advised attempts at creating a cinematic universe of one's own: Sony has officially announced the second movie in their upcoming Spider-Man movie universe that may or may not actually include Spider-Man (http://deadline.com/2017/05/spiderman-silver-sable-black-cat-gina-prince-bythewood-directing-silver-and-black-sony-pictures-1202102306/): entitled Silver & Black, starring Spider-Man allies (and occasional antagonists) Silver Sable (a mercenary who hunts down war criminals) and Black Cat (who, let's be real here, is very blatantly a ripoff of Catwoman. Sorry not sorry.)

I'm really not sure what to make of these Sony Spider-Man movies.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on May 25, 2017, 11:01:53 pm
It's rather curious that they decided to make a montage of the old movies and basically one big speech like that. It's almost like they want to tell us that the new movies will be more in a classic style (just done with modern techniques), up close and personal, rather than mostly cheesy large scale action everywhere of today. And I don't really want to get my hopes up like that.

Speaking of the Sony Spiderverse, what happened to Life ? People started thinking it might be a secret prequel to Venom for various reasons some time ago (plus Venom is finally on track to being a serious thing with Tom Hardy), and I know a guy who saw it but doesn't know much about these things and from what little he could tell me, it sounds like it could fit, even though they avoided making any obvious connection, like it could be up to interpretation. How did that pan out, I haven't seen the Internet explode about that theory since the release ?
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Jmorphman on May 25, 2017, 11:16:41 pm
I think the deal with the Life/Venom thing was that the movie wasn't made with any intent of it being a prequel, but then somehow a rumor got started alleging it was in fact a prequel, and when the director and stars of the movie were asked about it during their press tour, they all played coy about it to drum up interest.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Speedpreacher on May 25, 2017, 11:21:58 pm
I would be severely annoyed if they did a movie about Venom, a character with all the powers of Spider-Man who has a great big honkin spider logo on his chest and tried to do it without any connection to Spider-man whatsoever

Be like doing a Catwoman movie without a connection to Batman
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on May 25, 2017, 11:35:06 pm
The venom symbiote itself doesn't need Spiderman to arrive on Earth, and from what little I heard of this movie, it could be possible to connect the dots. It's what they decide to do in the actual Venom movie, for the symbiote to latch on to the spider motif, that will be important. The thing with Life is that it came out of nowhere, and it would be a really amusing idea that they might have come up with something like that, so I'd rather wish it to be true. Even if they start Venom with the symbiote on Earth and looking vaguely similar to the Life monster (until it goes spider motif), and never say where it came from, it would be enough to say "yep, I'm sure it was a prequel after all". It'd be a nice headcannon.

That’s not Swamp Thing, it's the Floronic Man/Jason Woodrue! He was an obscure human/plant hybrid villain of the Atom and Flash who was used by Alan Moore in his character-defining run on Swamp Thing, which in turn gave the Floronic Man a fair amount of prominence as a character. This eventually led him to being retroactively incorporated into Poison Ivy's origin (he taught her botany when she was in college), and he's ocasionally teamed up with her every now and again.

Fans are aware that Jackman is getting too old to keep doing Wolvie, we all know it's coming, but the studio is probably hoping to find the next Jennifer Lawrence. Other than that, they could wait a while to do the movie at all. A Dark Phoenix with nothing but Jean and Cyke would be boring, and pretty tough shoes to fill for the young guys who haven't been particularly notable as far as I've heard (haven't seen Apocalypse but I haven't heard any praise). Unless they just go "fuck everything" and stick with Lawrence, Fassbender, and McAvoy because money.

Millar later confirmed that he doesn’t know if Warner Bros. is actually planning a Red Son movie, as he’s never discussed the possibility with any of the people he knows at the studio, but he does believe that people there are going through the whole “back catalog of big books” in an attempt to “lure in good directors.” In other words, Warner Bros. is looking to make movies out of as many famous DC Comics stories as possible, and there’s a chance Red Son is one of them, but it might not be.

Communist Superman is an interesting concept but it's never developed properly. I'm not even sure what Millar understands as "communism" since Lex Luthor fights Superman's utopic communism with his own totalitarian economic system where he controls every single penny.

Post by: Long John Killer on June 29, 2017, 11:49:40 pm
Ah, it just clicked what was bugging me in the back of my head about that Death Note adaptation, besides the obvious previous news.  Seeing it now, it's because ultimately they turned it into a teenager's fantasy of what they'd do in the story's place, rather than, you know, the actual story.

I'm going to have to side with Titiln to a T on Jumanji, though.  Good premise, but it seems too far detached from its source to even bother reminding you it's about Jumanji anymore.  Should have called it something else.  I'm willing to bet whatever they do add that's more in line with the original is now going to feel shoehorned rather than just naturally there.

But ignoring all that, taken just by itself without any previous ties, looks like a fun little summer movie.

Is Superman Red Son story that good?
Personally, I think it's my favorite Superman story, and one that I've shared with the family and most agree that it's among the better stories told about the character.  But I will echo that it is kind of overrated.  It's just kind of hard to write a compelling Superman story, that those that are quality people latch on to pretty hard.

the sad part is that death note is already dark and edgy enough so making it more so threads on comedic grounds, which I guess is one way to enjoy it.  I mean, the latest japanese adaptations tried some fun new things, like having more homoerotic L and kira scenes (sup naked shower together), or thwe whole changes to make it more "natural" , Kira actually kissing misa,  the FBI being more competent, L having to set up near and other things since the start in case he messed up.

I ahve not watched the 10 years after movie yet, tho it does not sound like a bad idea.

It's an old grandfather game that sucks you in its world and forces you to play by its rules and makes the threats real. Close enough IMO, the only difference is that it's not actually happening in your living room and into your streets (although that dumb helicopter shit might prove that wrong). Which is a shame since that's what the whole humor of the original was.

Im not really bothered by the changes. We don't need a rehash of the death note story in its proper (japan has made plenty of live action versions anyway) and I will reserve judgement for when the movie comes out. I like the fact we're getting something different.

We didn't really need a mindless teenage angst righteous murder spree either. The concepts of justice and responsibilities are also a big theme that could be explored in different ways than the battle of wits.

Who says thats not the case here? Your assuming how its gonna work before the movie even comes out.
What about this is mindless? The trailer highlights Light's choice to use the Death Note for preconceived justice which is goaded on by Mia Sutton (who's already decent detachment from Misa Amane's obsessive and idiotic character.)

Like I said, I reserve judgement for the final product. Nobody wants to see another failure and Im tired of anime fans negativity.

A trailer is supposed to give insight into what the movie will look like, and often fool the viewer into thinking the final product will be better than it is (looking at you, Suicide Squad). If the trailer looks like shit it means the movie is so bad they couldn't even salvage a few scenes.

Post by: Malikai on July 04, 2017, 11:44:17 pm
I dont think the trailer looks bad, and when I look up criticism on it I just see a bunch of complaints about how its not their tried and true classic death note with pretty boi light and classic L.

Mother's Basement made some decent points about the trailer, one being the music and how are society in america differs from Japan's so someone like the original light would not work the same in the US.

The trailer isnt really bad or that amazing, but it gives us alot of questions and doesnt spoil much. If it can be similar to how Edge of Tomorrow turned out, I'd be content.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Astro on July 05, 2017, 03:02:13 am
Music and aesthetics aside, what makes Light an interesting character is how he deals with holding the power of the death note along with his overarching God complex. That part is the largely unchanged "tried and true" I took from that trailer.

But yeah, I somehow do get the feeling they're gonna get a lot of mileage off of the death scenes over the actual plot, which itself can be reflective of values in American society...

So, good job?

After seeing someone's negative facebook post regarding a sexy cosplay of Wonder Woman and completely ignoring another character. It seems that some traditional fans really don't like the idea of a more risque version of her costume as they've held such high standards for her. So I decided to see any updates on Mr. Cho.


(http://i.imgur.com/vl0zDVL.png)


Sadly not much info on Frank Cho.

Quote
But Cho has not been content to fight back in the trenches of sketch covers. He recently created a new cover for a publisher of video game comics, which again features a female protagonist in the same butt-up pose. You can see it on his Facebook page. Cho claims that the company’s art director wanted Cho to recreate this pose (yet again) because he, like Cho, is “anti-censorship”.

As far as I know, Cho hasn't done anything of note (besides commissions and stuff) since he walked off doing variant covers for Wonder Woman because he wasn't allowed to draw Wonder Woman's underpants.

I don't really get the really heavy dislike of that Death Note trailer. Like, c'mon guys, keep an open mind, and trust in Adam Wingard! He's good as hell!!!

Well I don't want to see anyone trailers or featurettes for Blade Runner 2049. My hype just went up another level after seeing that trailer. Ford said we were being hunter, but you were Cops!? Could it be Ford and others on the Police Force were Replicants and they didn't know about it till it was too late? I mean wouldn't Replicants be able to find their own easier than non-Replicants?

It could also be that the world turned into a place of Replicants and now Replicants are hunting the last of the humans in the world?

The original story (as in the book, those papery things with inky marks that don't leave a glow on your face when you look at them like screens do. I'm looking at you, Millenials!) was kinda dark itself but I am guessing that Disney will make this 'tame' dark, if you know what I mean.

I don't like how now they are just swapping racial backgrounds because it seems like the PC thing to do at this moment in time. I'm not against that but sometimes it can be done too often. Problem is that if you even bring that up now people think it's racist.
I mean, will there be a Hispanic Batman after Batfleck... "Hello, Bat Manuel"...

Huh.  A relative gave me the book that movie's based on a while back, being the "gamer" of the family tree, figuring it would be up my alley.  I know you really shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but the synopsis made it sound so humdrum and nothing new to me, and the whole deal of entering a virtual world compared to our regular one to make a message about our escapism is such a boring story, so I never read it.  Still on the book shelf since then, actually.

But...seeing the Iron Giant, Duke Nukem, the DeLorean and Kaneda's bike randomly being in there does catch my interest.  I did not figure the book to just be taking free reign of other people's properties for their story.  Is that new for this movie specifically?

Netflix announces a remake of the anime in CG for Saint Seiya. No date, just a poster (Seiya seems to be in his final Cloth) and a staff roll. Oh, it says the first season will be the Galaxian Wars and the Silver Saints arc. I read elsewhere that it'll be 12 episodes of 30 minutes, okay.
Saint Seiya by Netflix, wtf ? Are they finally trying to hook the US and the English-speaking communities with an actual good production for once ? Although apparently the script writer did Avengers Secret Wars for Disney XD, if it's just kid-oriented crap then forget it.
(funny how Famitsu ends it with a "what's Netflix" explanation paragraph, not sure if they usually that but it's amusing)

Oh, if it works out, people are already expecting Next Dimension to follow obviously (in like 6 years when they're done with the original manga)

This new movie is the first of a planned trilogy, and will also see Arnold Schwarzenegger returning. As reported previously, James Cameron is returning in a supervisory role, and Deadpool director Tim Miller will be directing it.

From the people behind Riverdale—the greatest TV show in the history of mankind—comes a Sabrina the Teenage Witch show! (http://deadline.com/2017/09/sabrina-the-teenage-witch-riverdale-companion-series-the-cw-1202173806/) Based specifically on the very awesome Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comic, which goes hard into gothic horror. Like, the witches are all literally Satanists and shit. It's fucking great, trust me. And so this show should be too!

also, the terrifying possibility that there will be a live-action Akira movie rises once more. (http://deadline.com/2017/09/akira-taika-waititi-director-thor-ragnarok-1202173164/)

If it's a full on show and not a limited series then it's too far in the other direction

There's a lot of problems with Snyder's Watchmen, but the biggest one is that the book is too dense to satisfactorily adapt in movie length

The movie had to have a 3 hour director's cut to even be passable

But if you go in the other direction where the story is slave to how many seasons they get, you're gonna start running into parts where outside material like Before Watchmen is introduced

As someone originally completely oblivious to the existence of the graphic novels, the movie completely captivated me.

Later on I consumed the animated comic and realized how great the source material was, and for me it was more of what I enjoyed, but I just don't see how either thing could be considered as "bad" by that medium's standards. The Novels are superb, and the movie was effective as a movie.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Mechy on September 22, 2017, 12:10:48 am
Well see the movie isn't exactly bad, but it's remarkably bad for something that took so much of it's stuff from such a great source. What's straight from the comic isn't really handled well (part of it is the density issue Speedy described above) and what's new/changed doesn't gel well with the rest.

But I guess a lot of that is comparison stuff. If I had just seen the movie without knowledge of the original material then im sure I would have liked it more.

Or maybe not, since I did actually see the movie first and I remember not really liking it. But then again I was also a dumb kid back then, so it's hard to say.

Post by: Jmorphman on September 22, 2017, 12:55:37 am
The thing is, one of the reasons Watchmen (the comic) is so highly regarded is primarily because of its astonishing attention to detail and structure. Every single page, every single panel was exquisitely laid out and designed, for a specific purpose, all adding up into an immaculately crafted comics story (incidentally, all this great attention to detail is sometimes criticized about Watchmen, since in many respects it puts the reader at a remove from the story, and makes everything feel cold and sterile; one example is Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's Multiversity: Pax Americana, which is a great rejoinder to Watchmen). Watchmen was designed to show the full breadth of possibilities that the medium of comics was capable of, and specifically to show things that were only truly capable of being done in that medium.

... which of course means—necessarily—that it's incredibly difficult to fully translate the whole of Watchmen into another format. Even the motion comic, utilizing the exact same pages and panels, is somewhat lacking compared to the source, not through the fault of the makers of the motion comic, but simply because of the natures of the comic medium versus motion comic medium. When Watchmen was originally being considered for a film adaptation, with Terry Gilliam potentially directing (this was back in the late 80s/early 90s, when Alan Moore was still on board with the idea of turning it into a movie), Moore spoke openly that any film adaptation would need to make a great many changes to the story to make it work as a film (and I'm not just talking about cutting the Black Freighter bits and getting rid of the squid); the basic idea would be to make this live action version of Watchmen serve the same purpose as the comic version did: showing off the unique things that only the medium of films can do, and using all the tools available in filmmaking to tell an elaborate, multi-layered story that could only work in said medium.

That is, of course, not the movie we ended up getting. While it's indeed true that Zack Snyder's movie is a remarkably faithful adaptation of the comic—it lifts dialogue, story structure, and it even recreates a fair amount of panels from the comic into live action shots—it's still an inexact adaptation, simply because Watchmen the story was designed specifically for the medium of comics, and faithfully translating the work into live action results in something that is technically accurate to the source material, but is still lacking in many respects. The movie feels a lot like it's missing the forest for the trees, focusing only on trying to be as faithful to the source material as possible, while never really stopping to ask any questions about why the source material did a particular thing, or what that thing means to the overall story and how to best leverage it in the medium of film as opposed to the comic.

This new TV version, however, is apparently making several changes to better adapt it to the small screen. I'm actually kinda optimistic about its chances, if only because Damon Lindelof is behind it, and The Leftovers was just so fucking good, like seriously.

hell yes

That Fast and Furious spinoff starring the Rock and Jason Statham looks like it's moving forward (http://variety.com/2017/film/news/fast-and-furious-spinoff-release-date-dwayne-johnson-jason-statham-1202582127/), which is... ehhhhhhhhhh. The strength of the series has been on the interplay between all the cast, this just seems bone-headed.

And also, more worryingly, it's causing major tensions between the Rock and Tyrese Gibson (and possibly also Vin Diesel) (http://ew.com/movies/2017/10/05/tyrese-blames-clown-dwayne-johnson-breaking-up-fast-furious-family/). I don't want to see my familiy to fight like this. :bigcry:

I mean...I'd rather this nonsense with a chance of it getting canned if someone comes to a realization how ridiculous it is, lacking a real intended audience once Bay starts throwing in his usual expertise, rather than some other rumors I've heard like him bringing back ReBoot or doing a Sailor Moon adaptation.  But geez, that doesn't negate how stupid this'll turn out.

I gotta wonder why on his end he went for this though, defiling 80's cartoons is more his style, not the 2000's.

House of cards last season will air on 2018.

Also, Kevin Spacey is a gay pedophile.

Quote
The upcoming sixth season of "House of Cards" will be its last, a representative for Netflix confirmed to ABC News.

The news of the show's end comes shortly after its star, Kevin Spacey, apologized Monday to actor Anthony Rapp, who told BuzzFeed News that Spacey made a sexual advance toward him when he was just 14 years old, if he "did behave then in the manner [Rapp] describes," although he said he does not remember the encounter.

The Netflix representative confirmed to ABC News that the decision to end the show after its season six was made before the scandal broke.

“Media Rights Capital and Netflix are deeply troubled by last night’s news concerning Kevin Spacey," Netflix and Media Rights Capital, the studio that created "House of Cards" with the streaming service, said in a joint statement. "In response to last night’s revelations, executives from both of our companies arrived in Baltimore this afternoon to meet with our cast and crew to ensure that they continue to feel safe and supported. As previously scheduled, Kevin Spacey is not working on set at this time."

Rapp, 46, told BuzzFeed on Sunday that Spacey, 58, tried to seduce him at a party in 1986. According to the "Star Trek: Discovery” actor, Spacey picked him up "like a groom picks up a bride over the threshold" and laid down on top of him.

"He was trying to seduce me. I don't know if I would have used that language. But I was aware that he was trying to get with me sexually," Rapp told the website, adding that he was able to push Spacey off of him and walked away.

Spacey responded shortly after the article's publication with a statement of his own, in which he explained that he did not remember the encounter. However, he added, "if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate behavior."

"I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years," Spacey added.

It most certainly wasn't. Annoucement about ending HoC went public just day after those allegations became known.And later Kevin dig deep hole for himself with his tweet. It might be end of career for him. And because of what ? That he made pass at guy ten years younger than him at the time ? It's not like he had sex with him or rape him. But people already made their judgement.

All that stuff is obviously tied to Harvey Weinstein thing that shook the whole Hollywood. Now the witch hunt begin, with all these ppl hunting for big paycheck from celebs they will accuse. And it will only hurts the vivtims of real rapes and molestation.

The story itself was really tame and something anyone might do with anyone, getting drunk and then going like "you sure you want to leave ? Okay..."
 Except the other guy was 14, that's the problem.
The other story I've seen was just as empty and common, but people already started going "I can see how some might have been afraid to say no". That sounds really thin, but the thing is, some other people have started saying "everybody knew" and that's where it sounds a lot like the Weinstein secret that everyone is aware of but won't discuss in public.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: lui on November 02, 2017, 02:38:51 am
the main problem is that yeah, while being drunk and doing that shit is tame by itself, the fact that it was with a 14 year old boy (that he most likely was unaware that it was a 14 year old boy in the first place judging by his tweet) is the really iffy part that's very hard to justify or put in a softer spot.

I mean, it's not just the Rapp story (and indeed, Spacey's self-serving response to Rapp/deflection via coming out said that there would be more stories coming out): a lot more people have come out with their own stories since Rapp's; even today just saw this report about harassment on the set of House of Cards drop.

another thing that bothers me about his "coming out" is that he comes as "gay" out even though he says eh's been sleeping with both males and females, which means he would/should be coming out as bisexual; but since bisexuality is still pretty maligned compared to homosexuality it furthers the point of him coming out just to gain some pity points/distract the people from the "sexual assault".

Eh, sexuality is a spectrum; it's pretty common for people to have relationships with men and women, but then eventually figure out that they're exclusively attracted to one or the other!

Sony is developing a film based on Morbius, the Living Vampire, a Marvel Comics antihero who first appeared in an issue of Amazing Spider-Man during the 1970s. The Hollywood Reporter says that movie, currently titled Morbius, will focus on the vampire-like character for one of the spin-off movies based on the Spider-Man franchise.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Morbius has been developed in secret at the studio. Writers Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama, who have worked on Power Rangers, Dracula Untold and ... uh, Gods of Egypt, submitted a script to Sony recently.

That report stated the companies were attempting to keep their discussions quiet as they got closer to striking a deal, indicating the public wouldn’t know how close they were until the deal had already been made.

Nah.  They don't even have to actually put him in the other movies or anything.  Just have a scene in Deadpool 3 where he flips through a photo album of him photoshopped next to Robert Downey Jr. or Tom Hiddleston and insisting he'd been there the whole time.

So, the motorball arc didn't make the cut.

That's probably for the best, considering the movie has to fit Ido's job as a hunter (and successfully frame him as a villian), Makaku stealing bodies, what's his name getting thorn to pieces and possibly Alita's origin story in 90—150 minutes.

And yeah, those eyes are disturbing.

The way they could legitimise the reasoning of the size of Alita's eyes is that she could have been made originally as a 'fad' model from Zarem, where anime eyes were popular among cyborgs and robots there.

I don't like the music used in the clip. It's too 'teen romance'. They just used it because it had the word 'angel' in it. I think it would have been better if they used some of the original anime music.

Forgot to post the trailer.



The problem with Teen Titans Go, besides it generally being of the typical focused on pure randomness bad show that got too big for its own good and congesting the network so much that its killing off creativity, is it can't stop being ironic.  It's wrapped up in so many layers of irony that that's all it can be.  It takes so many pot shots at better shows, about it trying to be a better show, and people wanting better shows, with the show's script and very actors making fun of people wanting something better, without any actual focus on trying to be better or funny about it.

It was annoying enough that this was the follow-up to the objectively better previous show that had a plotline to follow and had questions left unanswered or at the very least felt not properly addressed, but its since then turned into a self-aware smug joke pointed at everyone else for not giving it a chance.  If it was just left to its own devices instead of everyone focused on how bad it is, it would have been over with by now, and people could move onto something new.  Or at the very least its popularity would bring D.C. to do more animated programs of higher quality, with TTG covering any risk costs.  But alas, now we got a movie who's story is about if everyone gets a superhero movie these days, then even the worst superheros should as well, and it's focused on bringing the superhero movie genre to a crash.  I'm sure there's going to be a joke or two how D.C.'s movies aren't matching up to Marvel's, so this is D.C.'s countermeasures.

Yeah agreed. im not saying the show is good, by all means its terrible. but there are some good episodes that appeal to my weird sense of humor like "Meatball Party" where everyone wants Raven to eat a meat ball for the first time or that one where the Justice League interviews new members and Beast Boy turns into a cow and spits milk on all the judges including Wonder Woman (i cant believe they got away with that) its not the worst CN show, that spot belongs to "The Problem Solverz" and to be fair the show has some cool references not just towards the old show but also DC Comics in general like Jason Todd's

^Exactly.  I really don't understand the level of sheer vitriol that TTG inspires in people.  I mean, I love the original Teen Titans just as much as anyone but there's no reason to get mad at TTG just becasue it's not exactly the same thing.  It's a different show with a different demographic.  It's supposed to be a goofy show for little kids.  If you don't like it, just don't watch it.  Let the kids have it.

I didn't say i hate it, its just that i have mixed feelings for it and often times it's a guilty pleasure of mine. if kids like it that's fine im not gonna be the adult who forces kids not to watch a show cus i dont like it. and like i said there are some good aspects about the show, plus i dont think its a bad idea to introduce younger kids to the old show.. if done correctly of course. like, i met a guy who showed his lil bro that one scene where Robin fights his friends under the influence of Deathstroke (Most of you show only fans will know him as Slade) with no context whatsoever and the kid probably confused stopped watching and the older brother went with the excuse of "kids these days" i mean.. is he a fucking idiot? what did he think was gonna happen by showing him a scene from a show he never watched without any context?!

The only thing I hate about Teen Titans Go is that it's filled up the schedule. I learned a pretty good while ago that it's insanely easy not to watch something that is not for you (that show was called The Batman) unless it's on 90% of the time.

I could totally buy them working in cameos from Studio Ghibli and/or Kingdom Hearts in that section of the movie.  They worked in Sonic the Hedgehog last movie, it's not outside the realm of possibility to fit San/Ashitaka or Sora in there somewhere.

So that Harry Potter spinoff franchise, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, is getting a sequel which features Dumbledore hunting down his ex-boyfriend who is like, wizard Hitler, or something. So heck, that probably means that there will be some kind of in-story acknowledgement that Dumbledore is gay, right? I mean, J.K. Rowling sure loves to talk about how he's totally gay (she somehow avoided putting it into any of her books, but I'm sure it was just an honest mistake she made seven times), and this movie seems like the perfect opportunity to explore that: after all, it's baked directly into the premise! So, what does the director have to say about all this? (http://www.indiewire.com/2018/01/fantastic-beasts-sequel-dumbledore-gay-1201923691/)
Quote
“Not explicitly,” Yates replied when asked if the film makes it clear that Dumbledore is gay. “But I think all the fans are aware of that. He had a very intense relationship with Grindelwald when they were young men. They fell in love with each other’s ideas, and ideology and each other.”
Go fuck yourself, you spineless little coward.

(maybe this time he'll really pull a Wolverine and take the spot of poster figure instead of the usual team leader Cyclops/Leo)

It's pretty hard to be sympathetic towards Warner Bros being scared of losing the $80 million dollars they earned from the Chinese box office when they made a total of $560 million worldwide for the first Fantastic Beasts movie. There's plenty of blockbusters that don't managed to get a screening in China and do fine. It'd just be nice to see a movie studio have some moral fucking conviction for once, y'know?

If it was an integral part of the story I would agree, like a biopic or something, but that's not the case.  :/
And 80 million dollars is the budget of two or three smaller films, don't underestimate that kind of money.

I finally got to see a trailer for the Tomb Raider movie the other day. I hadn't heard anything about it in a while.
The story looks pretty bad ("Lara, there's an evil organization planning to commit a global genocide, and you, my daughter, are the only one who can stop them, because reasons !"), and I guess someone remembered to explain why it's called Tomb Raider by having a random bad guy shout "open that tomb !" once near the end of the trailer, but damn, the visuals are like taken straight out of the first reboot game, the action looks like it'll be amazing. The crashed plane breaking down, the parachute sequence, the river... And all that obviously to the tune of the "I'm a survivor" song.

The Endless is confirmed to have a release date on March 23rd (http://modernhorrors.com/mind-bending-indie-thriller-endless-release-date/).

You likely don't know what this movie even is, but it comes from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead who made the movie Spring (2014) which received tons of praise. You may have not heard of Spring either, but it's a great film regardless (that I'd recommend anyone to watch it, it's one of my favorite movies).

The Endless also has a 100% on RT right now, it may only be 19 reviews so far but it's likely an indication that the movie will be great, I personally can't wait (hopefully it gets an international release, I hope!).

Not bad, but it still feels like the Spiderman 3 version, the skinny one. Maybe because they're still trying to keep the human-like head, when it should either have the neck shifted forward with the head hanging lower, or just thicken the back (shoulders, neck, shoulder blades etc.) way to the max.
The tendrils look good though, it looks like a good way to avoid having to make the connection with Peter's web shooter, and that helps in making Venom look alien like he should. It's a midway point to Carnage.

Anyway, Venom looks good. Maybe they could have done more with the eyes like added a slight texture or something. Not a big fan of the Venom voice, though. It doesn't sound as beastly as it comes off as it's written in the comics. I hope they at least give us a glimpse at the other symbiotes in the movie, though.

Really odd question that I have no faith in it being an actuality regardless, but just a thought; does this make the White Ranger an easier license to get for Warner Bros/Netherrealm for the next Mortal Kombat?

I recall along Spawn and Hellboy, the White Ranger was hotly requested, which I'm guessing came solely from the ridiculousness that was this.



And I'm sure people have moved on and forgotten about that by now, but you never know.  They've been getting pretty out there with the people joining Injustice 2.

Hey now, Michael Bay gave that Transformer nuts. Hasbro just made sure the money was still rolling in.

I think Injustice is there specifically for characters like the White Ranger, so I don't see it likely that they would use him in Mortal Kombat. When you think about the guest characters in MK there's a reason it usually skews to horror movie villains like Freddy Krueger and Jason. The one outlier is Kratos and he had so many restrictions on fatalities it was laughable

I know the mandatory reaction to any new kids show is for adults to rant about it being a harbinger of the death of all art, but let's not pretend that fucking Thundercats ever had a ton of artistic integrity in the first place.  It was a toy commercial from the '80s.  If they want to make it goofy, then I say go right ahead.  Who cares.

Post by: Long John Killer on May 19, 2018, 08:36:01 am
Surprisingly tamer reactions than I was expecting after learning about this.  I can't agree with it looking good, like, at all, copying what works for Adventure Time or Steven Universe and pasting it over a previous entity will not work.  I'll give it a look simply because I loved the original and curiosity will bug me if I don't, but it's gonna be hard to expect it not to land somewhere between O.K. K.O. and Teen Titans Go.

It's just funny to me to consider the latest relevancy for Thundercats actually wasn't that long ago, with it finally crossing over with He-Man and going dead serious with Lion-O getting his eye gouged out and He-Man just straight-up gets murdered, and before that was the interesting if fairly different 2011 anime, which even lasted some time after it ended with reruns on Toonami, so it's not like it's a long forgotten franchise.  Heck, isn't there still a supposed theatrical movie in the works?  Likely to come out when the Spawn movie and Half-Life 3 do, but still.

I just want to say this now though, that smooshed body on Lion-O and to an extent the rest makes it really hard to take seriously he's supposed to be an adult, even with the more child-proportioned WilyKit and Kat as comparison.  The Sword of Omens not extending to an actual sword, just staying in dagger form, doesn't help either.

"It’s okay to see a reboot of a thing you loved as a kid, decide that this new version isn’t for you, and leave it to the next generation without comment. Encouraged even."

"I’m not into the design of the new Ninja Turtles cartoons, but I went to a friend’s house and his kid was obsessed with that show. That version of those characters is the only one he’s ever known. It’s cool, they’re his turtles now. Tastes change. Life goes on."

Well, it sure as hell blows Thundercats Go out of the water, but it feels odd de-aging them.  Eh, it could be a lot worse.  But I'll admit, I would have liked something more akin to how D.C. was rebooting the He-Man universe to crossover with the Justice League.

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1a/81/ed/1a81ed23d06e70ec1b807e21dc194108--childhood.jpg)

But that's probably wishing for too much.  Just the show's giving me a Justice League Action vibe.

Speaking of He-Man, since the original She-Ra was basically just a He-Man episode that spun off into its own thing, I wonder if He-Man will be the second fiddle in this reboot's universe.  Would be amusing to fit Prince Adam's bumbling self into scenarios in the show.

Owww that's quite a leap, looks like the CGs are almost done this time and it's just about fine (still a bit too liquid but okay). We get Riot, I assume Scream (or maybe there are 3 people who become Riot), and you can expect Carnage too (at least in the sequel hook). Tom Hardy is doing rather well as a loser bum.

...Not gonna explain why?  I mean, it was the outcast compared to the rest of the DCAU going on, but it also had a great Deathstroke with the use of Slade being a mentor to Robin, great showings from each team member, easily the best Starfire just by virtue of comic Starfire sucks, also easily the most popular Raven, it had a nice blend of comedy episodes followed by serious dramatic ones.

I mean, I haven't seen it since last year myself, when it did show on t.v. again for some time, as well as the Tokyo movie, but it sure as hell held up alongside the likes of the rest of the animated D.C. shows prior.  And I often like to revisit BTAS gold like Heart of Ice.

I mean, any show that involves Deathstroke going to Hell and killing Death for his immortal soul back inherently can't be all bad.

I've heard that if the TTG movie did well enough, then they'd revive the show. Well, that scene alone would probably do the job considering how many fans of the original there are.

I will say this: as much of how TTG is considerably panned, and CN shows it off as much as Nickelodeon shows off Spongebob, some of it is okay. Not all great, at the very least they got  the original voice cast back, and hell, even they can poke fun at themselves. Not all gems, but hey, anything to get the original back, right?

Still love the original, but it's just my opinion.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Long John Killer on August 19, 2018, 04:46:35 pm
Really?  I mean, it's not my thing but after The Clone Wars and Rebels both having very stilted looking animation with blocky faces and body proportions and very slow movement all around, trying to be grounded with their animation, this taking more visual queues from the Netflix Voltron reboot at least looks more visually entertaining.  If not personally very interesting in whatever is going on here in the new trilogy's timeline.  Eh, not going to catch it regardless, but it is nice they're at least trying something different.

I do miss when Tartakovsky was in charge of the animation department for Star Wars, though, this is what I'd like to see return.


Though now that I think of it, if they wanted to copy Voltron and paste it over Star Wars, might as well gone the full way through and go completely anime.  Because if it turned out like this I would be down for it.


But then, I never was a fan of 3D anime to begin with.

IGN Middle East is reporting that Six Underground is actually a ThunderCats movie directed by Bay and starring Reynolds that will release on Netflix. According to a source close to the production - which is reportedly set to film in Abu Dhabi, UAE in November - the movie is an adaptation of the beloved property and the title Six Underground, along with the revealed premise, are meant to avoid leaks about this secretive project. Nothing else about the movie was revealed, including which characters each of the actors is playing or any plot details.

Post by: Long John Killer on September 06, 2018, 05:34:56 pm
Ok then.  Two things.  One, why is this a thing?  Taking a series that's just fine in the middle and splitting it in to complete opposite directions.  Teen Titans got TTG for kiddy entertainment on t.v. and Titans for gritty streaming.  Now ThunderCats has an eerily similar case with ThunderCats Go and this?  Yes, Bay's movie is likely not going to be as bad as that, but you've all seen Transformers, it's not exactly sunshine and rainbows either.

...Though speaking of which, when's the Care Bears splitting reboot?  With the Don't Care Bears and their Care Bear Death Stare?

Two, I can't see Reynolds playing Lion-O.  The face, his physique, his voice, none of it matches or is even close.  CGI only goes so far to fix the issue.  Unless their new version is closer to the teen still in training from 2011.  Which given Bay's history on how radically different the Transformers and the TMNT turned out from their original form, I suppose that's not impossible, if not preferable.  I enjoyed 2011's reboot a lot, but if you're bringing back the series, I would imagine most would be looking for something new based on the original show, not that.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Long John Killer on September 25, 2018, 12:25:01 am
The Cybertron segments just make me lament High Moon's closure.  Even Dark Spark being bland as all hell, it left it open for a sequel bringing the Cybertron, Bayformers and G1 universes to meet, and it never happened nor is going to now.

So I gave up on the Bayformers movies ages ago.  How much of a reboot is this?  Are we literally ignoring all the previous stuff, fresh start?  Because even back in the first movie they had tie-in comics and such explaining their take on Cybertron and it was by and far not resembling G1 or what's being shown here.  Supposedly, all those visions of Cybertron are flashbacks are recordings being shown, so it wouldn't just be hey, Optimus changed his look again and it just-so happens to look like the show now, and here's Shockwave, Soundwave and Starscream back from the dead because robots are fixable.  The Bay series long since killed them off.

I'm...almost sure that's not female Frenzy and Rumble causing havoc on Earth, but I don't know who else dual transforms and is color-coded like them.  Maybe I'm just forgetting someone or they're newer creations, but showcasing Soundwave in the same trailer with a red and blue duo kinda points in that direction.

If nothing else, it looks more investing than previous live-action Transformers movies, but that's not a high bar to set.  It is good to see the Transformers actually resembling the Transformers, though.

As users of the chat may know from my fevered half-livewatch/half-existential musings, the last movie introduces a slew of retcons that might as well make the first and the fifth movie in completely different universes entirely. This seems to be running with that even further to the point where, yeah, just call this a complete reboot save that Bee's voice box is still futzed.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Long John Killer on September 25, 2018, 03:58:02 am
Ah.  I...guess that's better than lacking consistency?  The fifth one was the one where they did their version of the Dinobots, right?  The last movie we got was the sixth?  Would be nice if they had a more traditional Grimlock and co. going forward.  Heck, I'll take the Cybertron games version if needed, Shockwave visiting Earth during the Age of the Dinosaurs and finding them the most highly advanced species to experiment adapting Transformers to turning into was also pretty damn cool.

Speaking of the games though, I wonder why as long as they were changing everything about the main cast why they didn't got for the more humanoid face Bumblebee typically sports in the shows and comics?  War for/Fall of Cybertron I felt got it down perfectly, it would have been great just to lift that up off and onto the movie.  But ah well, I guess he's got a superhero mask/helmet now, copying a bit from the Iron Man movies I suppose.

Also yeah the last movie introduced Hot Rod and Bumblebee killing Nazi's, a Transforming Watch killed Hitler and apparently transformers have been fighting since the time of dragons and drunk merlin. I wouldn't worry about continuity.

Wait, I thought after Battlefield II's blunder they renegotiated a new contract?  I thought there was some other company given the go to work on Star Wars after EA got told off by Disney because they were suddenly being investigated for illegal practices.

If not then that sucks, I thought we actually had something to look forward to.  Though it certainly wouldn't be MvCI, regardless of how that flopped, it's missing a critical point of being neither Marvel nor Capcom.  And could you imagine the backlash if they threw in Rey before the X-Men?

Soul Calibur IV came out in 2008, years before Disney bought LucasArts.

Disney shut down LucasArts (as in the game division) shortly after they bought their parent company, IIRC. I'm pretty sure the exclusivity deal with EA came after that.

Was debating if this is even worth sharing as news at this point, being so little to work with, but...

https://comicbook.com/tv-shows/2018/10/23/courage-the-cowardly-dog-prequel-series-beyond-courage/

So John R. Dilworth, the man behind Courage the Cowardly Dog, is proposing there may be a prequel series named Beyond Courage in the works for Boomerang.  CN's had a bit of a track record now of their reboots either being good and dying in or before their prime because they don't sell or else are quite frankly really bad but sell well and live on, so I'm already a little worried about this going in either direction.  Furthermore...like, what?  Why would Courage the Cowardly Dog need a prequel?  It already has what it needs for a backstory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjS7LTUJARo) and just resets each modern time episode back to status quo because it's a comedy.  Eustace dies probably over half the episodes.  Heck, if I recall correctly Muriel dies a bunch as well.

That said, if they go through with this, here's hoping it's nearly as good as Courage was.

Trailers usually mislead people into thinking the movie is better than it really is, not the other way around. You only need a handful of good scenes and a semi competent team to put up a trailer that makes the movie look promising. Now, if you don't have anything salvageable after shooting there isn't much a trailer can do.

SS used the handful of decent scenes that trainwreck of a movie had (and pretty much all the jokes).

Spoiler: Thanks, I hate it (click to see content)

As an ex-Sonic fan who recently left the fandom from all the horrible corporate decisions SEGA has made when it comes to the character, as well as his design for the movie's posters... I'm actually pretty OK with this design choice. I am NOT saying that it's still any GOOD nor stating that the design is true to the character, but it's fairly acceptable in my eyes.

Spoiler: Just some of my opinions that delve into general looks (click to see content)

Nonetheless I feel that they did the best they could working with the design from the teased poster, and I'd be more than glad to--

This actually looks a bit better than the last nightmare fuel.
Still bad. Though the frontal shot in the "brand personality" pic could almost pass for believable. (actually that's the one where it looks the most like he's still wearing gloves)
2.  I know Sonic is technically always naked but why does taking away his gloves make him look SO MUCH MORE NAKED.
That's what just makes the whole thing funny. It's like it's not as terrible once you cross the line that makes you stop taking it seriously.

I dunno, after Sonic Dreams it's hard not to approach Sonic losing his two articles of clothing without some scars.

Both of these films are doing a spectacular job at keeping me away from wanting to see either, so good job there, guys.  It just now occurs to me that while they bothered to remove the gloves, they also only kept him with four fingers?  All these half-steps are only turning out half-baked ideas.  Though to be fair I wouldn't be any more interested in a somehow more-real Sonic, so whatever.  I'll just say for this movie design though that the eyes are much too small on this Sonic to match the still large head.

It feels like it was designed, written, and directed by a marketing department in order to appease boardroom executives who want to appeal to "the youth."  It's like they had someone watch 5 minutes of a Let's Play of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and then fill out the script with whatever hashtags were trending on Instagram that day.

Plus, Sonic's design is mind-numbingly terrible.  I don't know what coked-up marketing exec demanded that he be both extremely skinny and uncomfortably muscular, or why they found it necessary to also give him highly visible human teeth and fingernails.

Why Gangsta paradise? how is a song about gang life any relevant to freaking Sonic??? I hope they didn't put it because they thought kids love rap.

Finally had to watch the trailer and Robotnik works or is hired by the the government? Then the main character has a white guy as a sidekick whom I'm assuming falls under a typical trope. Why does this feel like the writers decided to take elements from Transformers cause they know they'll be expecting this kind of reaction from fans? Surely the formula has to fail at some point?   :mmg:

Only reason why most people would watch this is because of Jim Carey even if he doesn't look like a fat mad scientist. Yeah, the only thing good I see in this is Jim Carey.

Making and fitting CGI into the final cut takes place in post production, after principal photography (i.e. all the hyuman scenes) is done. They probably weren't even close to finishing all the scenes involving Soynic, so dumping the design and starting over again might not be cheap, but it seems to be viable considering how the reception was universally negative.

And they used an even worse model for the poster before that, then again an even worse model for the teaser before that ?
If they only redo the Sonic model and don't change anything of whatever scene they already CGI'd like the whole bunch of missiles in the teaser, it shouldn't be that big a deal.

Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Long John Killer on November 13, 2019, 12:00:27 am
So wait, I don't recall if this was a thing established in the previous trailer, but if they're doing the whole "He's from Mobius and he's reality hopping to our world, video game comes to life" plotline, then why is Dr. Robotnik in it as a real person, unfamiliar with Sonic?  Eggman's kinda what set off the whole freedom fighter thing with Sonic and friends, so it would be weird that him going to the real world for some R&R from fighting Robotnik is also where he first meets sorta-him?

It's going to be its own thing, I know, and I plan to take it as such, just....confusing.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on November 13, 2019, 12:10:28 am
Yeah, apparently Robotnik is from this Earth. Sonic does mention that there are people on his world trying to take his powers or whatever, but that's probably some other villains that will never be mentioned again. That's just how they're going with it, whatever. The first trailer ended with Jim Carrey getting a case of explosion baldness and apparently finding his way to Sonic's world, so it looks like Sonic brought the menace to his world this time.
By the gods, you look at the two designs side by side and it's night and day.
That shot is where you see the most relevant differences (every single facial feature, the hands...) but the comparison between the two versions' close-ups of his face is the stuff of nightmares. V1 was the reason people always immediately assume that video game movies are garbage - because the people making them aren't actually making a thing that remotely looks like the game, they're trying to appeal to the people who played the game, but then they also say "it's not realistic enough, we need to also appeal to people who never heard of the video game" and they end up appealing to neither target. V2 actually looks like a very watchable video game movie.

That was part of the whole appeal to me.

Regarding the SpongeBob Movie: I was gonna pre-emptively complain about how much I miss the good ol' days of 2D animation, but I actually quite like the style they're using. Kind of a weird premise, though. They done did a missing snail episode in the series, so I am curious as to why they'd settle on that for an entire movie.

Well, Nickelodeon has done repeats of episodes before (quite a bit of them, actually). I think the animation is a bit from the last movie (where they go into our world), but I think they're using it much better here. I'm kind of glad the theory of Camp Coral was debunked as to where it's just Spongebob and Gary meet instead of Spongebob meets everyone at camp for some reason (yes, I believe stupid stuff sometimes).

Was announced it was part of MCU but Disney took it back.

Quote
This left many in speculation as to what the fate of The New Mutants is. After all, the film was left on the shelf for 2 years and had many rumored reshoots that were supposedly going to the change the tone of the film. Since then, it’s been revealed that the film to be released is the same one that director Josh Boone originally envisioned. The film is to be released by Disney, which means that it could easily be tied into the MCU, but that no longer appears to be the case.

The heads of the MCU are trying their best to integrate the Fox Marvel properties with Disney’s MCU, but it turns out that The New Mutants won’t be the one to signal the amalgamation. The New Mutants still won’t be released for another four months, which means that the heads of the MCU and Disney still have time to figure out if they want the newer, spooky heroes to join the ever-expanding MCU.

I feel like this was made by comity by a bunch of suites who saw that Adventure time was successful, but don't understand why adventure time was successful.

The awesome anime-inspired remake only got one season, but this crap will probably go on for six.

Why is it trying to ape O.K. K.O.'s trading card theme?  That's really out of left field.  Doesn't have much to do with ThunderCats and I thought O.K. K.O. under-performed by their standards, it would be odd to attempt another go with it on a show that off the bat no one liked the premise of.  I guess just to be 80's enough?  I dunno.

All the previously said hate, like, a year or two now in this show's radio silence, more-or-less still applies, there doesn't seem to be any changes in course made and I doubt there will be.  If kids enjoy it, more power to them, whatever.  It's just another Teen Titans Go, not the worst thing in the world but such a migraine to even acknowledge is the direction they're taking.  Better to give the attention to their new shows that are actually really good.


Like ones that perform Mortal Kombat fatalities on Blade Runners.

Netflix on Assassin's Creed, making a live-action series, and also later, an animated series, not connected together.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Long John Killer on October 27, 2020, 10:53:39 pm
I'm vaguely curious, but not invested by this point in the series' long run.  First off, what's the focus?  Because Assassin's Creed as a whole lost its focus because it should have ended in 2012 and has continued trudging on like a zombie, occasionally squirting out an idea of merit out of its mass of brains it consumes.  I have zero idea what the hell the games are actually about beyond the historical set pieces anymore since 4, because the whole point of the story of the games was about Desmond and the 2012 apocalypse with the past historical events and assassins being essentially roundabout clues the modern day people need to prevent the Earth from burning up in a solar flare.  This can still work for a show, just change the Doomsday Event from 2012 to whatever they need to make up.  But my vague knowledge of things beyond the trilogy just by playing 4, is the modern day stuff got meta and swept all the Desmond stuff under the rug and the franchise as a whole no longer acknowledges it, it's only History's Assassin's of the Ages: The Game, and in-game bad guys Abstergo are literal stand-ins for UbiSoft selling it the consumers in-game as well?

AC should have ended a looooong time ago, and the stagnation has not only hurt the brand but also diluted the story's meaning.  So I wouldn't even be surprised if this show foregoes the entire main storyline of the series and just sticks to the past events with the Assassins and Templars.  I mean, it sells, I won't lie and say the modern day Assassins stuff was ever my favorite.  Altair's story piece was, so it was odd to watch it get overshadowed completely by Ezio, whch that character worships Altair (And that's not to say anything bad about Ezio, because damn was he a fun character when he was in the limelight.  That whole ending bit in Revelations with the three protags meeting up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw86GANf8mw) is still probably my favorite point in the whole series).  There just wouldn't be much of a throughline connecting various assassins and time periods without the future descendant and the Animus plot line.
Title: Re: entertainment news that don't deserve their own thread
Post by: Byakko on October 27, 2020, 11:20:54 pm
The announcement is all they've said so far. There's already a rumor that it'll go back to the style of the original trilogy to lure the people who loved the original and dropped the series since (not saying it'll be that story), but it's probably not coming out for a while yet.
The modern day sections were the most disliked part of the original story, the revolution games (after 2 and before Origins) had Abstergo as the McGuffin doing nothing relevant, but since Origins, it's moved to a new cell of Assassins - yet they aren't doing anything relevant so far. Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla are pretty clearly all about the historical parts, the modern day part is just a bonus, and the story is simply about how various people in History decided to stand up to the bullshit of power hungry conquerors and murderers, while throwing random bits about the previous civilizations here and there, but not the specific people we saw in the original trilogy. And it's about how the Assassins came to be - the Templars don't exist yet but we see how various organizations did similar shit before, hence the need for the proto-Assassins.

That's just what Assassin's Creed is, shitty people and those who stand up to them across the ages. I strongly disagree with the idea that the franchise should have died just because the original story ended and the current games are not related to Desmond's story. There's no reason to stop making games in that universe just because the 2012 apocalypse story was garbage. Stagnation is literally the one thing it can't do when it has such an easy recipe for recycling the same concept but completely change the world by jumping across time and space, which is a guarantee to keep attracting new people who weren't interested in Egypt but suddenly want to see vikings (and they are updating the system every time so it's not an exact reskinned copy-paste either).
It's just world building instead of following one specific charismatic hero. That's what all games do today, not one recognizable heroic face of the franchise but a highly customizable self insert every time.

Wasn't the whole point why the previous AC team split and made that Gods & Monsters game (I think they changed the name to Immortal or something now?) shown off at some previous E3 was because they wanted to do more similar games to AC but found the need for modern day connections to be moot?  The Main Story was preventing the Templars from being complete morons and incinerating the Earth.  By all means, they can make a new modern day storyline if need be, but it sounds without also introducing a new actual threat to, you know, combat, they realized as well they got nothing more to do there.  Might as well drop the pretense of there being modern day connections at all.  Or, have these other non-Desmond related games be from the perspective of those other Abstergo test subjects that Desmond prods their memories in the Animus over, they of course would have different bloodlines to trace back.  And we know all those end in tragedy so hey, pre-installed drama.

Like I said the modern day stuff wasn't my favorite of the bunch, sure wasn't up to snuff to anything else getting released at the time of 2007, but it certainly held my interest ending the first game on this cliffhanger filled with puzzles.  Wouldn't throw it in the garbage pile.  Series sucked me in from the start.  It just by all means felt the series was complete when it was....well, complete.  Very Halo moving to 343-ish scenario, all this beyond the third of the trilogy is just fluff.

It just looks like it was a team that really wanted to focus specifically on the Greek mythology aspect. And yes, the animus part was irrelevant to that (plus the AC version of Greek mythology is also different), and there are no Templars in Immortals Fenyx Rising, it's purely a Titans vs Olympians story, straight Greek myth. Lots of people are already saying Ubisoft is trying to turn it into a franchise, but I don't know if they want to stick to Greek myth, or if that means they want to do more mythologies of the world but ditch the Animus, like you say.

For the AC continuity, people have complained about Origins and Odyssey (before the DLC) that it was lacking in First Civilization stuff, but then the Odyssey DLC totally changed that with full First Civilization Olympians, so that's still the red thread in the series. Valhalla also seemed to have little of that at first, but then we saw that the Hidden Ones (the proto-Assassins from Origins) show up in England and Norway, and we are told that there will be DLC in actual Valhalla and stuff, which is probably still going to play into the First Civilization stuff. Plus we'll also have DLC about the New World (Vinland) and the Siege of Paris by the vikings, so it's still a lot about people trying to escape a harsh human civilization to find new land of freedom and shit. Immortals will go the other way, no civilization, just myth.
In Origins and Odyssey, they presented the modern day sections as more and more optional, it shows up in the cutscenes but you don't need to do anything there. So yeah, the whole idea of the Animus is less and less needed to carry the story, but that's not the focus of the story anymore, it's just a McGuffin to introduce new worlds. Even without the Animus, the AC franchise can still retain its identity separate from the Immortals (tentative) franchise by being about real world civilizations and oppressors and highly Historical stuff, while Immortals is 100% fantasy.

If Immortals becomes a series about various mythologies, then I'll be definitely worried about Prince of Persia, which will completely lose its niche if there are two franchises that do history and myth. Then again AC could return to being the PoP spin-off it started as, and it'll give us Persia with parkour again...

(edit - hidden ones, not ancient ones)

https://nerdist.com/article/new-batman-superman-animated-series-hbo-max-dc-comics/

There's a pair of new animated series for Batman and Superman coming to HBO Max.  The Batman one in particular is being helmed by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves.  It's a full-on new series, not a continuation of BTAS or the Justice League universe as a whole, which is slightly disappointing, but it seems it wants to dive back into the dark noir detective origins so that's cool.  Looks like Bruce Timm Batman so that's a plus.

(https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Superman-Lois-Jimmy-920x517.jpg)

The Superman one seems to be staring the protag of The Owl House later on in life filling in as Lois Lane for this interpretation.  That or it's Pokemon's Goh after coming to terms with themselves.

I....you can't just DO that, guys.  I'm laughing but confused but pretty sure enjoying it?  Because that is He-Man to a T.

Mark Hamill as Skeletor is ultimately gonna take some getting used to.  No one could possibly argue against Mark's performance value and has the freaking Joker down to perfection.  But it is notably different than the original which was likewise iconic with the character.

He-Man Revelations was great. Well the first episode. It's pretty much Teela for the next 3 episodes. She is a shallow drama queen in my opinion. That or she's as poorly written as Michael Burnham. It still is entertaining. I love that Orko and Evil-Lyn are getting some character development. The Twitter drama shillers over at Youtube just love destroying Kevin Smith with this especially with the results in Rotten Tomatoes.
 
How it will end with part 2 would be disappointing  ............

She-Ra remake was good. It pretty much succeeds where Legend Of Korra failed at. Sadly, He-Man doesn't exist in that universe.

One thing I would really like is they make a sequel of the He-Man 2000 show.

Kinda the wrong guy to say Korra failed, I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly.  Nick failed Korra, not Korra the show failing what it managed.  But I guess you mean the company behind the She-Ra reboot didn't mess with its production intentionally and it did what the creators wanted without interference, then cool.

I'm not expecting the plot twist ending from this season to last.  One, it's a repeat of what the show opened on, the character had no growth since their return since....it's literally moments after.  Two, as many unexpected twists and turns you want to take to get there, the whole main conflict is still between He-Man and Skeletor, they have to have their big climatic battle because that's their roles.  And three, if the least tangentially reasonable relation, the last big He-Man media craze was the He-Man vs ThunderCats crossover and that was also all built around killing off He-Man right at the start (https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Thundercats-Comic-He-Man-Killed.jpg) only for him to get better down the line.

CGI is not my thing. Doesn't help it looks like a mobile game. I'll stick with the Kevin Smith edition.

At least this He-Man show features HE-MAN, but it seems not to be made for my generation, not realy sure what to think about it to be honest. ö.ö

Funny, the first thing that comes to mind from that, beyond the fact that they're clearly making a World of Warcraft kid's cartoon judging from the character designs, is that Thundercats Roar prior also changed their tiny sidekick character suddenly and without reason fully into a robot.  Why is that a reoccurring thing in these era of reboots?  I dread to imagine the 2020's having a Dexter's Laboratory reboot in 5-ish years now with Dee Dee replaced with a robot just to erase the character's inclusion to events in the series while playing enough lip service to say "They're there at all".

He-Man's in a weird funk with these reboots.  I'm not particularly fazed by the Revelations series' changes because I'm not that die hard a He-Man fan that the guy sharing his dominating spotlight hogging isn't going to irreparably scar my soul or whatever Twitter's on about now and the progression makes logical sense enough, and not being that hardcore a fan likewise this new one also doesn't faze me much, just.....kinda bemused at how they want to make this Power Rangers, I guess?  But it does leave me wondering why this is the THIRD He-Man franchise split in only a few years?

The whole cast is unreal. They went for the combination of star power and "dirty comedy" people. Somebody's gonna do some weird shit (and that somebody is gonna be all of them).

Chris Pratt does not strike me as someone who can do a convincing Italian stereotype naturally.  If it's just Pratt just doing his regular voice then that's going to be disappointing.

No real huge opinions on the rest.  Charles is probably going to be cameoing Wario and Waluigi I'd assume.  Outside the fever dream acid trip that was the 3D cartoon, did Donkey Kong really ever talk outside basic exclamations like "Okay!" and "Yeah!"?  Never mind Seth Rogan, I'm just trying to picture Kong forming articulate sentences.  Unless it is just Seth just saying a single word here and there.  Which is probably the funnier choice, actually.

If anything Keegan-Michael Key as Toad is the standout weird one to me.  Because Toad just communicates in "BUP" or gargling ear bleeding.

"Charlie Day is Luigi" is as good a casting pick as "Chris Pratt is Mario" is a bad one.

Everyone else seems pretty good though. But man, oof, what a bad choice for the lead.

Pratt's performance in the Lego Movie was great, he sounded like a professional voice actor and not just a celebrity on a sound booth.
He, and Jack Black, may be the better picks from the bunch.

Thank god, it's a movie based on a actual video game rather than focus on a original character that doesn't appear only for a director's favor.
But it should been a tv show than a movie.

The big ugly CGI Monster has Eyes on it's shoulders so it is probrably Wiliam Birkin in one of his later Mutations.

I find it kind of strange that they apparently mix the plots of Resident 1 & 2 together with characters of the Second game visiting locations of the first game etc.

Saw it. It kind of feels like a low budget fan-made B movie, but it holds up.

Tekken once again attempts yet another animated spinoff this time focusing on the lifestyle of Jin Kazama and mercifully not Shin Kamiya.  Plotwise, it takes place several years after the events of Tekken 2 and before Tekken 3 at least for a few episodes. 

Leroy will make an appearence, Kazuya does not look like Vegeta here, and Ganryu is a bodyguard yet again in this universe too.

So Ganryu did worked for Kazuya and now for Heihachi before he became a coach teacher in Blood Vengeance. Plus Leroy has come earlier, guess they make the timeline different in this universe.

Btw, look forward for this and this is what i was hoping for.

After 25 years, it's time to say good bye to Ash Ketchum. It should have been done in the second or third season.
It's about time.

Don't worry folks, his friends are able to somehow find a portal that bends time and space, and just bring him back into existence once again.

Oh wait, that's another Ash... :rolleyes5:

Well yeah, it's about time he finally broke from the loop, and can now move with his life as a grown man, I guess.
