Let me just say that Hollywood is lousy with British and Australian actors playing American roles. It’s about freaking time that an American other than Gwyneth, Meryl or Johnny Depp took one of theirs.

I found Swamp Thing disappointing, and wasn’t surprised to see it get canned, but aside from that, DCUniverse suffers from a severe overall lack of original programming. It seems like it should be time for a new season of Doom Patrol to roll out, and there is presumably more Young Justice in the pipeline, but have we…

Duncan was played by Richard Jordan in the Lynch movie. He dies early on. Gurney was Patrick Stewart’s character. I don’t recall him dying in the movie. I always confuse their names.

I have heard about potential ‘Rocketeer’ reboots in the works, but nothing solid. It must be noted that The Rocketeer is a well liked movie with a great cast that wasn’t fully appreciated when it was released in the 1980s. Can’t say the same about the recent Green Hornet, or The Phantom or The Stranger. The Rocketeer…

I think that if Warner Brothers could have gotten Guillermo del Toro to commit to a DC movie, they would have let him make whatever he wanted to.

I feel like since the same actor has played John Constantine on both an eponymous NBC series and Legends of Tomorrow for completely different producers, he should be considered a magical character actor who transcends dimensions and TV network distinctions. Clearly, Matt Ryan should be playing Constantine wherever…

. . . none of the franchise characters are proven box-office draws

Well, as the Ancient One explained, every time you go back and change something, another branch of alternate reality is created, so now there are multiple timelines. One is the one that leads directly to the events of Endgame, that we have seen throughout the films, and the others are the multiple ones that have been…

Well, there’s a picture of Enver Gjokaj right there, if that isn’t enough of a hint. The other possibility could be Briget Regan’s Dottie Underwood/Proto-Black Widow character. Is there anyone else particularly memorable from that show outside of Peggy herself? Chad Michael Murray? Maybe Ediwn Jarvis?

I think there is a definitely fanbase. We can argue over which X-Movies hold up well or don’t, but I don’t think anyone expects a 20-year old superhero movie to compare to a state of the art modern one in terms of production values. That is ultimately only one element of a successful film. They will inevitably become…

Well, Virginia Madsen’s Princess Irulan is barely in Lynch’s Dune, and except for Sean Young and Francesca Annis, everyone else pictured gets a few scenes at most. Of course, I am concerned that whoever plays the Shadout Mapes will be able to announce herself as the “HOUSEkeeper” with as much gravitas as Linda Hunt…

You don’t have to imagine. Kevin Feige has repeatedly made it clear that there will be no connection whatsoever to the Fox X-Men in the MCU, and that they will be introduced in completely different ways to how we have seen them before. I would be really surprised if he brought the characters in just to focus on that…

I can’t remember if PG-13 existed yet when Splash was released in 1984, but it was originally a PG movie, butt and all. It was also released under the Touchstone banner, a brand created by the studio for films that were not appropriate to be released under the Walt Disney label.

I thought that the public made it very clear in 2018 that it had absolutely zero interest in any more Robin Hood remakes no matter who they starred. Perhaps this one will finally be the disaster that ends Disney’s bewildering series of “Remakes Nobody Asked for”.

Oh, I get what you are talking about. I mean I just saw Finian’s Rainbow on TCM, a movie which is only watchable to see just how many ways a classic musical can be, aside from some truly lovely songs, thoroughly offensive in almost every other way. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, clearly failing to add youth…

Well, good point. I have never seen Cleopatra, but if I remember correctly, the problem was that it wasn’t so much a bad movie, but it just wound up being so incredibly expensive that profitability seemed impossible no matter how many people went to see it. Heaven’s Gate had a similar effect, I believe, in the early…

Sure, because the rehabilitation rate of Batman’s foes is like, what . . . . zero? Clearly Arkham Asylum is really just a spa they go to to rest up before they are broken out to make another story.

Well, that character has been changed so many times from her original version that it’s only par for the course that she be re-conceived again. Originally she was an American archaeologist named Andrea Thomas who discovers the totem that turns her into an Egyptian deity created for a TV show. Then around the DC Infinit…

If I’m not mistaken, there has been some discussion about Sony only having the rights to Bloodshot while other characters’ film fates are held by a different studio or studios? Paramount maybe? That would be repeating a mistake that Marvel could have been forgiven for at the time, but any other comic book company…

Well, it wasn’t brilliant, but it wasn’t that bad.
