Is this why movies like Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down can exist together without fear of litigation when, obviously, they're the exact same movie? I've never really understood how the hair is split on copyright laws, but it seems like anything that's considered "Die Hard in a...." is OK, as long as you…

I assumed Doomsday was one of the reasons why his cache dropped. I thought it was a pretty terrible movie.

You mean a la Liam Neeson/Ra's Al Ghul?

Kanye also loved it.

I don't know, either, but I doubt that it's his preference. I recall his wife and producing partner once saying around the time of Doomsday that they were aiming for a big Hollywood directing job.

Or Burt Lancaster in "The Train". That was an incredibly physical role and he looked like he did all his own stunts.

Yeah, say what you want about Cruise, but that was a freaking great scene, and it took gonads to go out there, safety harness or not. I sure know I wouldn't have been able to do it.

I remember the original The Thing scared me to death as a kid, and I saw it on a summer afternoon. But the movie that takes the cake must be that Vincent Price movie with the woman's head in a lab. I still can't bring myself to watch that movie. And notice I won't even speak it's name.

Also, Gore is just a terrible director at shifting tones and moods. When he plays it straight up for entertainment, like the first Pirates movie, it can work. When he tries to get serious, then slapstick, then back again, as he did with the last two Pirates movie he did, the handling is so blunt and absent of nuance,…

you win.

Sad, all of them. WE here in Los Angeles thankfully have a conservancy that's kept a lot of our old palaces in downtown in good - even great - shape.

Plus you don't need to get your light saber from some hussy in a lake.

I guess that's star power, when you don't have to be tied up to a sequel. If it bombs, you were never committed; if it succeeds, everyone will say you were the draw and your price goes through the stratosphere. If I were Depp, though, i wouldn't hold my breath for the latter on this one.

I've always had an unusual affection for Black Panther, and am glad that Wesley Snipes is now too old to play the role.

The funniest is listening to Depp try to convince everyone HIS Tonto is an attempt at a revisionist version where's he not at all the minority sidekick.

If Pacific Rim bombs, the only way Del Toro gets any big budget for awhile may be if someone like Tom Cruise is attached to the movie.

I'll definitely be watching now. That was fun.

Just a guess, but as someone who works in the film industry and has to hear about "the four quadrants" all the time when it comes to marketing a movie, I'm pretty sure if there is a love angle there, it would be in the trailer. The only reason they would hide it is if it involves the Asian actress, and they don't feel…

I'm also guessing this movie has zero appeal to the general female demographic.

Still rooting for Lone Ranger to be the big train wreck.
