Quite a few of them are probably too old. Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Michael Fassbender are all mid-40s. Probably late 40s by the time they'd be shooting their first movie as Bond if they are just now thinking about casting. They could do a Bond, but if they'd want to cast somebody for several...

Not saying it was a stellar movie. But at least it seemed like somebody tried (and in large parts, admittedly, failed) to do something interesting. The nostalgia-bait-milking trilogy of No-Way-Home/Resurrections/Book-of-Boba-Fett maybe just left me crushed a bit too much.

Watched it and also thought it was better then it's bad rep. Definitely lots of wasted potential, but a decent watch. Definitely better than the soulless Spidy-memberberries iMO.

I mean, it's Star Wars. It's an IP primarily for 6-year olds and has been since 1977. Not sure what Netflix would want with it over Disney?

That said, for theatrical releases (at least historically and outside of super-hits, large IP properties, etc.. ), long run-times are something that are seriously looked at. Shorter / regular-length movies get more rotation, etc.. For streaming, it's largely irrelevant. So there's less...

I mean, even the original John Wick wasn't really hot box-office stuff at the time. It got good word of mouth, longevity in the secondary market, etc.. and thus provided the basis for the sequels actually earning money, not least by punching way above it's genre convention. But the original...

Tom-Hardy-Venom still doesn't make sense. Assuming he shares the "Sony-Villain"-verse with Morbius (given Morbius's "I am Venom" joke) and Morbius is in the same universe as "Homecoming-Vulture", Venom wouldn't have to jump universes to get there in the first place? Or being pulled "somewhere"...

Don't get it. Holland and Zendaya (and Cumberbatch) still have great screen presence, but the rest was just clumsy nostalgia-peddling full of giant plot holes and inconsistencies wrapped up with pathetic deus ex story-conveniences.

It’s slow, but I liked it. Did not see the ending coming, which was cool.

It's always been a source of US movies being weird that punching/shooting people is seemingly a much more accepted type of content for kids than a few tits or dicks, lol.

Sure. Then don‘t take ‚em to movies then where „heroes“ solve problems by punching people and constantly resort to violence.

He could just had multiple sons called Armand who in turn had multiple sons called Armand. You could get to triple digits easily within 3-4 generations that way :)

Well, the actual "truth" is unknown. Which is why novel and movie go by the multiple-PoV variant to begin with. In theory, any one of the three could be 100% on point by accident. Or more likely, all three are pretty far from actual events.

dunno. I enjoyed the first half-ish or so. Bus fight. Skyscraper fight. Arena thing. Etc.. Disney-fied Kung Fu and all that, but was fine for what it was. Lost me at magic village and Kaiju fight. Literally zero stakes or tension for being in it's own pocket dimension and dropping the...

/shrug The Chloe Zhao train-wreck is still better than anything ever made by Zack Snyder, so it's not that black and white, lol. Though perhaps Zack Snyder simply cannot make anything that will appeal to any creature with any kind of central nervous system or brain, which would explain it ;)

To be fair. They played some Doors for the trailer, which is kinda cheating. Also thought that Venom sucked, so no high hopes in general for this.

I am Venom line was cute. But the correct answer clearly would've been "I am the goddamn Batman!"

/shrug Plenty of movies do that. Battles for Helm's Deep and Pelennor Fields in LoTR are barely a handful of pages. Maybe 1-2% of the page count of their respective books at best. In the movies, they take up huge chunks of the run-time, being elaborated out.

Dunno. It's gonna be a Bond movie. Cool stunts, nonsensical one-liners and product placements, would be my guess.

Smith interrogating Morpheus, taking off his glasses and earpiece, "humanity is a virus" and "I wanna get out of here, cause you disgust me" definitely wasn't regular Agent-stuff. None of the other Agents even remotely behaved that way. Hell, the other agents were pretty perplexed at seeing...

What fucking difference does it make which actor plays a character? The story is good, or it isn't.

/shrug Spiderman 3 (or anything with Spiderman in the title) performing better than random origin-story-movie for a virtually unknown character isn't really a high bar. I mean, Thor 4 or Guardians 3 will probably outperform the Morbius introduction-movie too. Shocking, really, how that works...

Hard to compete with RDJ, Evans, Rudd, Hemsworth, etc.. falling over themselves to suck Feige-cock day in and day out ;)

Saw this today. All pretty try-hard edgelord-stuff with no soul.

Looks like pretty desperate nostalgia-bait. Sad how these types of movies immediately fall off a cliff outside the Marvel Studio.

Not the reviews I read, which highlighted + Very solid Martial Arts action (not quite the highest Hong Kong level, but apparently very good for Hollywood with surprisingly few jump cuts/edits to hide sub-par stuntwork). + Very solid supporting cast managing the marvel-mix of humour/drama...

The muslim and christian cults hadn't yet split from the jews at the time of pyramid-building. All still the same at the time.

Current China-movie embargo is all movies, not just Shang Chi or even just Disney. They pulled out all US production to preserve their delta-variant depressed box office for Chinese productions. The last US movie to open in China was Peter Rabbit 2. China is blocking Shang Chi the same as they...

Lol. Well. It's Marvel. It might be the "final trailer", but there's a million more "featurettes" coming. gotta love the magic of adding slightly different letters to the clips they churn out.

Star Wars going Anime

Title: Star Wars: Visions Genre: Animation, Sci-Fi & Fantasy First aired: 2021-09-22 Overview: An anthology series of animated short films celebrating Star Wars through the lens of the world's best anime creators.

As long as they get that naming petition through, I'm fine ;)

Ridley Scott working overtime, it seems

Young sailors learn to sail on old ships, as they say in France or some such ⛵

So shift in tone, unnecessary additional actors cast against type, nonsensical plot with bad, clichee dialogue and villain? So basically it fits right into the tradition of Aliens, T2, Empire Strikes Back, etc..

Original Blade Runner also tanked at the box office (as did all previous attempts to do Dune). This stuff just isn't 4-quadrant block buster material, generally speaking, even in non-Covid times. In definitely makes sense on that end to give Dune trailers (the movie?) a spin towards...

There is no specific skin colour mentioned in the book regarding Fremen, except leathery and tanned from the sun. For all we know, they could be bright pink. But going with something vaguely middle eastern, jesus-coloured would seem to fit some other themes Herbert uses with them.

/shrug Ridley Scott is what (quick google) 83 years old now? Not expecting another Gladiator out of him, but if his octogenarian encore is giving us a few more Ridley-Scott-style medieval sword fight and battle scenes in a fun-enough movie or two, instead of another self-indulgent not-Alien...
