One of Adult Swim’s charms generally has been their willingness to present almost anything, the weirder the better, but it must have been frustrating for someone over there to have had a show on the roster like The Venture Brothers that delivered episodes in a manner that can only be described as “every now and then”.…

Sorry, hate to be the guy, but it’s Pedro*.

A note about Ruby.
She didn’t just wander into her local Marshall Field’s. She clearly, deliberately went to the original Marshall Field’s State Street flagship, a lavish, Midwestern landmark, to apply for the job that she quickly saw had been already taken. It’s clear that, given the period, Marshall Field’s had…

Honestly, I’m not sure if DC even knows which Green Lantern they want to put forward. They have sooo many now. I don’t really follow the comics right now, and the GL movie was obviously a disaster that they don’t want to reference on film. They still seem to be holding off on putting them on the big screen aside from…

DC seems to have been trying to establish Cyborg as one of the core Justice League members since the New 52, from what I can tell. Frankly, cynically, I think it’s for diversity’s sake. I don’t know how it has stuck with readers. Historically, it doesn’t seem like he should be in there before Green Lantern or the…

One can be brave and stupid at the same time.

Most likely, since his role in the theatrical Justice League was so reduced, they will simply recast him. Not that hard of a choice, and despite however much more exposure he will likely have in the ‘Snyder Cut’, he will have pissed off enough people ad DC Films and WB that they wouldn’t be interested in continuing…

Seriously? You are looking at one in-character promo photo. It’s hardly a window into Oscar Isaac’s soul.
He seems to be a reasonable person. If these movies were so distasteful to him, he wouldn’t do them.

There’s a reason why Marvel has not said anything about how to proceed with the Black Panther storyline at this point. It is genuinely, too soon. I also don’t think that they actually know what they are doing, although I have to imagine that at least in the past couple of years, key people such as Kevin Feige, and…

There’s a lot of anachronistic music in the show. Obviously it is intentional. It’s hard to imagine that they are dancing (and lip-synching?) not to the song we hear, but instead to some other unidentified music. I’m not complaining. I just pointed out how well the scene worked despite (and perhaps because of) the…

There is a film adaptation of the acclaimed August Wilson play Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom starring Boseman and Viola Davis that completed filming last year. Netflix is distributing it, and, given the cast, it was likely to have been planned as an Oscar play for this year. Whether it will be seen in theaters given…

It’s just the truth. Once upon a time, New Mutants was planned to be the first of a trilogy, but we all know that now it’s a one-and-done burn off of inherited property. Marvel Studios is still trying to figure out how to integrate Deadpool into its offerings. They are not going to go out of their way to absorb some…

Viacom is attempting to relaunch CBS All Access as a much bigger streaming hub that includes Paramount and MTV Networks, etc. It may not be a category iller now (or ever) but look for a big relaunch push in the coming months.

Now where’s my New Mutants?!?!?!?!?!

The expectations for each movie are very different.

You are confusing production with the results.
Some of the most legendary movies have had nightmarish production stories. Sometimes it is to be expected from the outset.
Judge what you see on the screen.
Most of the time, movies are likely to be improved by reshoots and recasting (Fantastic 4, Justice League theatrical…

I haven’t read the book, but I don’t think he’s a Ned Stark.

Dear Jay Baruchel,

Outlaws had tails? That is trippy.

I am getting the idea that they will give it as wide a release as possible starting this weekend for, what, a few weeks maybe? Then it will swiftly shuffle off to VOD or perhaps they will add a PVOD option once it is clear that even where people can go to the movies, a substantial segment of the public is still far…
