Yeah, Black Adam has never been a hero. I think they told him that to get him to sign on and he didn’t do any research on it. OR since they did get Dwayne Johnson they are now going to change the character completely so that he is a hero.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to compare the marvel movies with the original star wars or the dark knight trilogy. Yes at the end of the day these things are about money, but in the case of star wars and and the nolan batman movies, those were very much driven by a single person’s creative vision, unlike the Marvel…

This really puts into perspective how insufferable the internet really is.

If the rumors about Goldblum are true, then he might want to stay quiet about this sort of thing.

I can’t wait for this big dumb movie to come out. I hope it has a longer run time then the second Bad Boys. I hope they didn’t hire an editor, or if they did they just let Will, and Martin edit. I also hope they give Joey Pant’s a spin-off where he just tries to find the money in the budget to cover all the damage.

Wait, wait. This implies the sketches that do get accepted made the table-read laugh. I find this hard to believe. 

Anyway Hollywood will use the technology to de-age 26 year old actresses.

Yeah, Tom Cruise is still buzzing around with female leads twenty years younger than him..but to be fair, he looks twenty five years younger than he is also.

From what I read, how they did the CGI was needlessly complicated.

Will Smith apparently wasn’t acting against anything or anyone. Young Will, as the article said, was completely CGI, so the only time Will was interacting with another person physically was with the other actual actors, or a stuntman on the scenes.…

Guys, 51 isn’t that old. I’ve gotta say, 23 and 51 were my two best years. Age him and additional 4 years to 55 and yeh, that’s when things start falling apart.

I thought Gemini Man was fine. Didn’t blow me away, didn’t disappoint me. Just a basic action flick. I did think that Will Smith did a pretty impressive job with both roles though. It wasn’t just the smooth faced youthfulness that embodied the clone but a distinctive difference in expression and manner.

One thing that didn’t help was the fact all the buzz I kept hearing wasn’t “Will Smith vs younger Will Smith,” rather “theaters can’t handle the 120hz this was meant to be seen in.”

That was my thought as well. Even though it’s been years since I’ve watched Goodfellas, I instantly remembered this scene and some of the lines of dialogue from it. (“Ma, I get a nice girl every night!”)

One of the problems with movie villains is that you usually don’t have any sense of what they *do* when they’re not…

Haven’t seen Joker yet but plan to this week.

“The Brady case also doesn’t make sense. He sounds like a classic DACA “kid””

I read it that she’s asking at least half in jest.

The odd thing to me is that everyone already has a Green Card. That’s the toughest point to get to in the immigration maze. After you get the GC, then it’s a matter of waiting (5 years for most; 3 years if married to a US citizen), keeping your nose clean and then filling out a bunch of paperwork/doing the in-person…

We rarely know everything behind a stranger’s situation. Maybe she had a death in the family and booked last-minute tickets to attend the funeral. Maybe another family member just called to say they’re suicidal or in desperate medical condition, and she dropped everything and booked the only seats she could grab.

I’ll swap my aisle seat for another aisle seat in the same class (like, if I paid for an “Economy Plus” seat, which is what we used to call “coach” 20 years ago). Or I’ll swap a window for a window. If it’s a short flight, I’ll swap my aisle for a window. But I will never, under any circumstances, swap my seat for the…

I’d take a middle seat over a seat next to someone else’s kids.
