Well there were definitely multiple directions they could have chosen-- The two most prominent were 1) hot chick supergirl who is competent and capable (think Linda Carter in Wonder Woman, 1970's) or 2) the female superhero growth trajectory (with a side of female-female support...

Okay-- SPOILERS -- ahead.... I have been thinking and talking with the woman I saw Supergirl with most of the day. A real SHITTY movie can't really do that. But I am FURIOUS and convinced that they subverted and ruined the entire film in the last few minutes to make a worthless, marketing...

I saw it. I'm not a hater-- we were the only TWO people in the entire theater (BIG inner city IMAX theater). What an UNEVEN film. So uneven, that, and this is not a spoiler-- but if the last scene (4 minutes?) were cut from the film entirely, it would have been 25% better! It had its...

Vulcan!

This girl is insanely hot. Part Mexican, part Vulcan, part Filipino!

Summer movie trailers... More Spiderman. I grew up with Spiderman. Many here can identify with the original Stan Lee character. Teenage, brilliant, loss, lonely, powerful, free yet confined. What's coming up seems to be a hot mess of ensemble cast and more "expansion" of the Marvel Universe...

No one beats Anna Cramling for streams. Even when they beat Anna Cramling:

That's racist!

Oh man- you are so NOT WRONG... I wonder if Prime will refund me a part of my monthly fee for putting up with Spider Noir?

I just renewed my PS5 subscription and purchased Bond First Light. Maybe this is in the wrong section. If so, mea culpa. 6 hours in and I am HATING IT. First- it's not Bond (but I could deal with that), second it wastes my time with piddly stupid side quests (find a lighter), and tells WAY...

Saw the whole thing. I LOVED the concept. I liked the black and white (yup-- I was that guy. It is NOIR). Here's what I did not like-- TOO LONG for the story (if it really had one-- it was a pastiche of ideas thrown together). I LOVED Li Jun Li (and that there was probably more time spent on...

not true?

When they are moving to take off, a shit ton (I think this one was going 104mph by ATF data). But that's a shit ton less than when they are full throttle mid-air in flight. Investigations concluded that the planes that hit the twin towers were traveling between 494mph and 586mph.

Have your reservations and conspiracy theories, but don't justify them with concepts that defy physics: A mass the size of a marble moving at significant velocity could level the entire island.

I know, this is fairly pedestrian and sexist and completely minimizes the actual world-altering jimmies-rustling things going on all around... BUT Look how HD murders this poor girl (who, in another lifetime, would have been a completely amazing find to meet, enchant, bring home, etc...)...

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1151949-the-shadow-strays OMG... A little too long, but it's a hyper-violent, amazing martial arts film. Think "John Chick!" Only maybe with even better fight scenes, weapons, and gun-brawls. It's on Netflix. And, don't feel compelled to watch the entire...

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9028-il-grande-silenzio I am trying to catch up on the great spaghetti westerns that are harder to find/see 50+ years after they were made. This one defies explanation on many levels. Was it good? It was intense and unpredictable. 6/10 for it's beauty and...

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/223386-man-on-fire Looks wholly unnecessary, but more expansive then Denzel's version (and that one was a remake!) I'll give it a try. Maybe they will use some kind of formula for the amount of people Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's charcter will kill or mutilate...

I've seen the original True Grit many years ago (won an Oscar for John Wayne). A Very different film in tone and purpose. The remake of Oldboy looks like an exercise in futility, is it even worth watching?

2010's True Grit: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/44264-true-grit I honestly loved it. Seemed far more straight-forward than any other Coen movie I have ever seen. Played straight, it was a great western with no real heroes. Bridges, as usual, is brilliant. He becomes characters more than he...

Truth be told, the core concepts of the show could still work. Plus, Chris Carter was a great idea man, but pretty poor with coherent world-building. So much of the "long arc" concepts in the original were either a complete hot mess or just made up as he went along. He was not a disciplined...

The Supergirl trailer... James Gunn sure knows how to make a trailer. NYU film school used to (maybe they still do) have a class on making an effective film trailer. But WTF; 1) How does Clark even know of his sister (cousin, whatever)?... 2) Do we really need to put an animal in jeopardy...

I thought so... Tough, Tom-boy almost goth/Trinity-esque.

What an a-hole. He is lucky Alan was kind to him. If he weren't a celebrity there would be no question that the neighbor was harassing a dad and his two children.

I thought it was great fun. it didn't even try to be anything other than a Die Hard rip-off with an insanely hot Daisy Ridley. It could have stood a little tighter pacing (like 30 minutes shorter or 30 minutes more of Daisy killing dudes). And yes, the script could have been written by AI or...

I read the book and it was "light reading" disguised as Carl Sagan. I enjoyed it. But I would say it's audience is closer to Harry Potter or "Doc Savage" level readers (Remember "Doc Savage?") I really don't know how they will make it into a compelling film, but I'll watch it when it gets to...

I am 100% certain I HAVE been there. But from the ground it was way less cool.

Me too!!!
