I'll throw my hat in with those that really liked S2. Maybe not going into it expecting the same level of cherry poppin' goodness of S1 has something to do with that. Follow ups to an inaugural season of a show that borders on magical is tough to do and more often than not the effort falls...

That's the one.

You'd probably have to get an actual IMAX theater poster for those dimensions. Here's an English version in that ratio if anyone would like it for a desktop though:

I'm working through the short stack of Star Wars novels that I've had on the back burner for a while and I've just finished From A Certain Point Of View. It's an anthology of short stories all related to the events of A New Hope. The majority of them are centered around very minor characters...

Reminds me of Akira. I like it.

That would probably bomb there to. Doesn't sound like the sort of thing that would have enough thoughtless spectacle.

He shoulda just ..

Not looking good for the great Asian hope. Box Office: 'Blade Runner 2049' Bombs In China The most damning part of that article: The irony of all this is that the winner in China this weekend will be Warner Bros. and Skydance’s Geostorm. So essentially the Dream Factory opened Geostorm in...

It amazes me that a 2 hour run time stirred up as much controversy as it did when the run time itself isn't indicative of much until you see how the movie is paced. You may get about half way through it and be glad there isn't an additional 20 minutes or so between you and the end of it.

No but comics come out monthly while the movies are once every 2-3 years. Going a movie or two w/o Superman would mean 5 years give or take before he shows back up. They originally planned for 2 JL movies about a year a part and he probably wouldn't have come back until the second one so it...

I'm sure they got a bigger budget for S2. That means you can afford to pay the usage rights for more popular songs

The Death of Superman is one of the iconic storylines from his comics. We frequently criticize DC for not following Marvel's established template for success closely enough because it so plainly works. Taking those sorts of stories and twisting them together for the on-screen adaptions is one...

It's baaacck. Thru 3 episodes. All the same vibes as S1. And Sean Astin gives shitty advice.

For anyone who has watched all of the trailers and clips you'll notice there is one very conspicuous scene that has been digitally redone since that first trailer. Waititi addressed that explaining that the scene just didn't work as well the way it was originally set up, that the noise and...

Sony and Alcon each put up $90 million. That's where some of the higher budget estimates are coming from, saying that they actually did spend that much on production and that the $150 million figure getting kicked around so much is a post tax credits figure. And Alcon doesn't have many...

I just finished Leia, Princess of Alderaan. I've found I don't normally like books that focus on the old big three, I only read it because Claudia Gray wrote it, but this was pretty good. I liked it a lot more than Bloodline which I thought was only okay. This feels more like Lost Stars than...

I should have scrolled down the page. The goodness was lower down. Thor and Darryl get a roommate. Jeff Goldblum Teases a Marvel Appearance After 'Thor: Ragnarok'

DC Villain 'Deathstroke' Movie in the Works from 'The Raid' Director Ok they started off lining up Deathstroke to be the big bad in the Affleck solo Batman movie. Enter Matt Reeves and that was thrown into limbo. So now they want to make a solo Deathstroke movie? If they could make a dime...

They never seemed to put more than a minimal effort into hiding him to begin with. There wasn't much point after Cavill tweeted out the pic of the black suit. They haven't heavily promoted his return but haven't really been keeping it under wraps either.

Your threshold for shilling is pretty damn low.

It's the angle they've decided to really push in the marketing, extending the realization that Bruce had by the end of BvS (I'm in over my fucking head) and give it a little more positive angle. Or you can just call it their version of "Avengers Assemble".

Easily the best posters they've put out for this yet (though Flash's "armor" still looks like shit). For size:

I didn't know how timely this would end up being. Someone who was invited to a critics screening for JL shared their invitation email online and WB has the review embargo lift date currently set at Nov. 15th ... the day before all of those late Thursday early Friday wide release showings start...

Does it help to establish who Strange is and why he would be inclined to help Thor find Odin so that he and Loki can get off of Earth and back to Asgard?

All that money Netflix spent on original content this year ... you're lookin' at the hole they tossed $90 million of it into.

This just doesn't look good ... at all.

Ben Mendelsohn Eyed for Villain Role in ‘Captain Marvel’ (EXCLUSIVE) I wonder how he'll look with a chin furrow.

Will this be the best of the Thor movies? I think most definitely. Will it make more money than the previous Thor movies? I'd guess easily. But my point was that it's probably not going to beat JL at the box office and if it does it's not going to be by some vast sum. This is getting a lot...

Because either he or his agent keeps signing him up for shit movies? His breakout moment was 300. That was over a decade ago and he never parlayed it into anything meaningful. A VO part in How To Train Your Dragon is the most successful thing he's done since then. You can be a part of only...

True enough. I still doubt the addition of Hulk will combine with any regression that a DC ensemble movie might have from BvS to make up a $200 million+ differential though. JL is introducing some new players to the DC cinematic world itself.

A recurring mention in some of the general reviews I've seen is that there are some pretty big moments, in terms of their broader implications for the MCU, that happen in this movie. So a heads up if you're thinking about taking a peak at some of the more detailed reviews that will start...

It's gonna have a good haul, no doubt about it. I think we dump on DC so routinely around here though it's easy to forget that those movies make a shit pile of money to. As bad as BvS was it still made over $870 million and JL will have people looking forward to more Wonder Woman to help it...

It's even more mystifying when you consider that there is a person on set whose job it is to make sure that everything in the script gets shot so it's not something that is supposed to even be able to fall through the cracks because the director's attentions are so divided.

You lucky SOB's.

One of the Alcon execs has said the movie has to make around $400 million for them to be good (meaning to make a profit on the $90 million that Alcon put up itself for the budget). Add in marketing costs and the assorted wild cards that come with international box office figures and it's still...

Was probably trying to leverage the blowback that movie was getting well before release into eyes on the page by shitting on a beloved original that virtually no one wanted a remake of.
