I've only seen the director's cut version of BvS and it was fucking terrible. I'm sure the theatrical cut was even more incoherent but at least it would have been shorter.

His indulgent cameos are painful, like he thinks he's the next Hitchcock or something. You know what, M. Night? Hitchock's cameos are fun because they're pretty much "blink and you'll miss them" and plus, you know, he was actually talented.

I really hope the suits stay out of his way for his solo film. Dude hasn't made a bad movie yet, and I hope the streak doesn't end there.

They already sort of remade the The Great Escape as a Christopher Reeve-starring TV-movie in the very late 80s/early 90s. I don't think it was well received but I kind of liked it. Only the first half sort of remade the film, the second half was all about the aftermath, and tracking down the Gestapo agents who killed…

You're being a dick, but I kind of agree with you. Stop calling things songs when there's no voices!

I love Cotillard and I agree with this. Ms. Green exists on another plane.

Now that would be a weird pairing of personalities.

I don't think Welles "literally" kicked the world’s collective ass. I mean, what does that even mean?

Accepted wisdom is that Zimmer wrote the main tunes and Badelt spun it into a score. I think there was some contractual reason why Zimmer couldn't score it outright.

That's because Williams couldn't travel at the time, I think for health reasons (had a pacemaker installed).

Captain America, Antman and Thor are B/B+ scores, and they are the absolute best of the Marvel scores. I really feel the biggest missed opportunity with these Marvel films was creating a massive leitmotif universe at the same time. Imagine the possibilities! But they squandered it and didn't bother.

I'm gonna tear them apart!

I thought the idea that Twain had a significant hand in Grant's memoirs was mostly discredited. Is it because we can't believe an alcoholic academically average solider couldn't write a brilliant book? Grant's papers already exist and show he could write and the style is similar.

Agreed. That tormented me as a kid. I hadn't seen that image in probably 20 years and now I feel like a freaked out 12-year old again… :/

I think that's more of a reflection of blockbuster cinema today vs. 15 years ago, which is somehow even more homogenised. I mean they even made the music sound like every other trailer with those Zimmer-clone drums..

Not that I know of. In particular, I love his gobbling-scenery performance in The Core. Is so hammy it's hilarious, which is kind of that film in a nutshell.

Much as I think the series is annoyingly dull and trite, David Warner's Heydrich in the Holocaust mini-series was pretty good.

As a WW2 nerd, I am greatly looking forward to this even if it's middling, but I'm almost more excited for the Jason Clarke - Rosamund Pike version of this, "HHhH". With Heydrich being a central character there might be more leyway to do something a bit more interesting than a straight assassination-heist movie.

The Shadow was 1994, no?

Though the Germans won The Battle of Dunkirk. Though you could argue they lost it, since if the BEF was largely annihilated there, the Brits may have come to terms.
