I misread the email that said I'd be having a Skype interview soon: it actually says 'late october/in november' which is a much broader scope of time than I thought. What is a polite way of asking them of a more definite date? They're still well within the timeframe given to me but, after a few quick back-and-forth

No, not really.

He should sick to grown up movies like Guardians of the Galaxy.

Don't get ahead of yourself. It'll be the exact same movie they've made since Iron Man 2 and the only difference is the protagonist will be a black guy.

How much is Scott Adkins in this? Is this finally his big break?

Are you actually paying attention to any of those names or are you just waiting ten minutes for the next bit of set up?

Christopher Nolan is making a World War 2 movie.

I know America isn't the main audience anymore but that cast feels like a random selection of people famous in several BRICS countries. I never thought I'd see Neymar Jr. in a movie, never mind in a Vin Diesel movie where it seems like he'll be fighting against Michael Bisping and Donnie Yen.

No way: the message of Train to Busan was very clear and very nasty. It takes the 'poor people ruin everything' ethos of Snowpiercer and combines it with the 'poor people don't belong in first class' narrative of the plane scene from World War Z and stretches it out to a whole movie.

This film is terrible. The protagonist needing his daughter to tell him that letting a whole train carriage of people get liquidated by the military is bad, and then using that as a turning point in his characterisation, is beyond stupid.

The plain text of zombie movies - the world is going to be destroyed by an underclass of brainless, singleminded slobs - is almost entirely absent from Paul W.S. Anderson's movies thus making them far better than the rest of the canon.

Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil movies are the only zombie movies that aren't complete garbage because they're the only ones where the message is something other than the middle class filmmaker is both terrified and clueless about poor people.

The big thing to realise is none of these people actually go to the movies. They've had screeners for years and most of those don't even get watched, which is why their default mode of thinking tends to be "X worked thirty years ago, let's do it again."

They ruined it with The Expendables. The comeback shouldn't be based around admitting to the audience that you're too old to do a proper movie.

I didn't know Matt Stone and/or Trey Parker posted here.

America is already great.

Autism limits social skills meaning they have no idea about personal space.

A podiatrist named Dr. Foot? That's like an ice cream man named Cone.

Her performance in Blow Out might be the most annoying I can think of. I get it: it's De Palma so it's ironic and based on an Antonioni movie so, actually, it's really good and clever, but she's like the real life inspiration behind Malibu Stacy's "Don't ask me, I'm just a girl" persona. Being next to an almost career

It's shit.
