No offense, but Charles Manson is not that interesting. Wait why am I worried about offending Charles Manson 

Since not much else has worked for DC, maybe they should just drop BRIAN BLESSED into each of their films.

I was just thinking today that Alien and Raiders of the Lost Ark are the only movies in their respective franchises that I love, and in both cases that’s because they have a strong element of the unknown. In 1979, most viewers couldn’t imagine that the creature was going to explode out of John Hurt’s chest. Same thing…

I want to start off by saying im not against remakes. Some have been great and worth the effort like Oceans Eleven, The Departed, Casino Royal, all remakes of great movies. Hell even if Dune wasn’t a great move the remake killed it.

Well too late because I already do associate them! 

I heard Carpenter expressly did NOT want Russell in They Live! precisely because he thought the audiences would start associating the pair in everything going forward.

I always thought Roddy Piper’s role in They Live would have fit Kurt Russell well too & it was odd he wasn’t in it, though Piper was a lot of fun in the role so I’m not that sad about it 

To me the Kurt Russell-John Carpenter movies are the best pairing of an actor and director. Seems kind of blasphemous for KR to play Snake Plissken for a different director

According to a new report from Giant Freakin Robot, Kurt Russell will return for a third Snake Plissken movie from Scream directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella.

The problem is that there’s no mystery left to the Alien. Prometheus and Covenant tried to add new elements to the canon and fans hated them for it. You see a facehugger, you know what it’s for and what its going to do. There’s no suspense, just nostalgia. It turns into another legacy slasher franchise, with the Alien…

I would slightly disagree on that last scene: Pfeiffer is terrific in every scene she is in, but some of that “angry woman” dialogue they give her is so bad. And clearly written by a dude.

I do like the final act because John’s interactions with Satan is sooo good. But it does have some structural problems. The fact they cut an entire character/subplot probably explain some of it.

Oh, slapping Constantine’s name especially backfired. Especially since John Constantine is pretty niche, and was even more so back then. So the only people who recognized the name are people who had read Hellblazer, i.e. the people who most want a faithful Hellblazer film. It’s not like a Batman or Spiderman, who have …

It’s worth noting that there is an entire cottage industry built around tearing down “woke” Hollywood, putting out unverified and even demonstrably false gossip as facts to support their agenda (Bounding Into Comics is another one). The writing of the article has all the earmarks - “rumors are swirling” with no…

I read two articles by that guy and I just want to kick him in the teeth. I’ll wait and see some actual news about IJ5 before I make any judgements.

Yeah, that’s fair. There are things that could be done to bring an adaptation more in line with the book, but the finale in particular is so internal it would be difficult to portray on film with the same impact.

I’ve never heard of that site before, but I must say, it’s really hard to take it seriously when the first few articles are all about how Wakanda Forever is garbage and not Oscar-worthy (who said it was? And who cares if it isn’t) and how the reviews are totally taking a nosedive (they are not - aggregate scores…

To be fair, when I watched “I, Robot” I was almost insulted that it was not Asimov.

The original ending was better... but it still completely ignores Neville’s epiphany, and why the title is “I Am Legend” in the first place. Plus, as far as I remember, the film makes the vampires more like mindless zombies than sentient creatures, making the ending of the book basically impossible.
