    Suicide Squad (2016)

    He's a damn good director but at this point it just smacks of WB throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks.

    Coffee Thread

    I tried a sampler of Laughing Man Colombia Huila K-cups a few days ago and it gets a thumbs up as a no hassle cuppa for it's faint dark chocolate and dried cherries taste on the finish.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    It speaks to how well Lucasfilm has done at keeping any sort of substantive details about TLJ (and R1 as well) in house until they want it out there. Thinking back to TFA there was a lot more leaked info floating around at 10 months away from release. They tweet out something like a...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Coming eventually. In whichever phase comes along after Ike Perlmutter finally decides to retire or gets handed his hat over at Marvel Entertainment. Feige isn't gonna put himself in a position of having to work closely with him again anytime soon.

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    Doctor Aphra is probably the leading candidate for a Star Wars character that originated in the comic books showing up in their own movie. I know I'd rather see a movie centered on her than a Boba Fett flick.

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    It really depends on how Thanos ends up being defeated. He wasn't overpowered by another in the comics. He got caught up in the rush of his own power, fucked up, and the least likely yet most deserving (of some payback) person there brought it to an end.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    He hasn't earned the leeway that Feige has which is the problem with bringing in a comic book guy to run their movie business. Feige had a chance to prove himself while Marvel Studios was on it's own before the Disney acquisition and MS is a fully functioning studio that can turn out a film...

    Has DC fucking up not been on full display for the past several months now?

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    Yeah it will definitely be an adaption. It has to be because of the movie rights issue alone. And it wouldn't make sense to take all of these characters that Marvel has invested so much time into developing on screen to then reduce almost all of them to bit player status for the crescendo. Of...

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    I thought she made for a pretty good she villain in The Man From UNCLE. She didn't have to carry the movie in that sort of role but I'm not so sure that an Adam Warlock type of character will be carrying the Infinity War movies either (in spite of his role in the comic version).

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    In a recent interview Chris Pratt said that in GotG2 we find out who Peter hopes his father is and who is dad actually ends up being (which we already know is Ego). Maybe, just maybe, he ends up meeting Adam Warlock at the same time that he encounters Ayesha and that is the source of his false...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Schnepp gives an interesting thumbnail sketch of the earlier Batman movie properties and their development in this. It's a two parter but the second half is all about the Nolan movies, which most are more familiar with.

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    I've mentioned it in another thread but Freemaker Adventures is the most kiddish of all of the Star Wars offerings I've seen so far but even that is entertaining as a decidedly humorous take on the franchise. Even adults can appreciate the levity of it in the midst of some heavier stories (to...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Well there is something new but the reports are conflicting. The one based more heavily on rumor/conjecture (from Forbes) is saying even the Terrio rewrite might get pitched if the new director, whoever that is, wants to go in a different direction.

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    I can't speak to the Aftermath trilogy because that's one that I haven't read yet. Overall I wouldn't necessarily tie myself to a strict chronological order because some of the books do feed into others in different ways. I would read Tarkin before Catalyst for example even though, strictly...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    And that's a reflection of it's setting. The Empire poised on the height of it's power and the Rebellion seeing the instrument of it's likely end approaching. It reminded me a lot of the Twilight Company novel in that respect. That was another story that while it ended as well as it could...

    Star Wars Rebels

    I doubt that it does. I think the finale will focus on Thrawn being the Thrawn so many were hoping for going into the season since you could argue that he's been relatively underutilized so far.

    Josh Gad has been engaged in a running gag on twitter to finagle answers about Ep 8 out of Daisy Ridley for a few weeks now. For his most recent attempt he decided to enlist some assistance.

    If it happens it will be a while before it's announced. Probably not at least until after JL is out. They might end up using the Batman solo movie to introduce a new actor.

    The LEGO Ninjago Movie (2017)

    I don't think the Batman movie got them excited since this was in the pipe well before now, they're just timing the promotion of it to piggyback on the success they anticipate Lego Batman will have. If you like these movies and Star Wars, Freemaker Adventures is a series you should check out...

    It does bear an uncanny resemblance doesn't it. What are the chances that they might blend the Amygdala imagery with Lolth, since a creature from D&D was the big bad in S1?

    You're not. I mostly enjoyed it as well although I do get some of the criticisms some people had in the character development while finding most of the main characters interesting myself.

    Yeah they pretty much tipped their hand and showed that card the moment they announced that Glover had been cast to play Lando. You know they're going to show that fateful game of sabacc in a movie with younger versions of those characters in it.
