Alita was the closest thing I saw to a manga in live action - for good and for ill. It looked great and was fun, but that episodic structure hurt it a lot.

I remember Singer going on Charlie Rose (yeah, real pair of upstanding citizens there) and insisting that X-Men was not a comic book or superhero movie, but a science fiction story. That was how much Hollywood hated the source material back then.*

Like all modern superhero movies, there will be a mask, that the character wears approximately 7% of their time on screen. You don’t pay for an A-list actor to hide his face. Even Reynolds went without a mask for most of Deadpool 2 and he’s hideously scarred.

Just took 23 years to get him in that suit!

I do enjoy how the Deadpool movies are little love letters to how gloriously stupid these franchises are and the exact amount of seriousness with which they should be taken 

“Meta’s hot new platform”??

“Now I am become destroyer of women for other men.”

(Oppenheimer pulls his pants down)

In case you missed it (and most people did miss it), check out Confess, Fletch. Hamm is as good in the role as Chase was and the movie fits in really well with the resurgence of whodunnits.

Also, I’ll be going out of my way to check this movie out.

“Creator cries that they hate gay and trans people and causes an online outcry.”

During a recent interview with the Flemish newspaper De Morgen (via Deadline), Quentin Tarantino stated he “doesn’t see” himself making a third Kill Bill movie, after all.

I think the biggest enemy of the film is probably Zack Snyder.

I feel like this has always been the MO of the MCU. For all the interconnectedness, the stories are self-contained to the point of stepping on each other’s toes fairly regularly (much like regular comics).

I think your subtitle is misleading, he’s writing Fury to where he needs to be in The Marvels according to quote you used. I think that counts towards caring about continuity.

I’m 34, and that pitch for a Barney movie sounds absolutely awful. First off, if I want a dark satirical takedown to Barney, I’ll rewatch Death to Smoochie. But more than that, Barney was a show for little kids, and as such, any nostalgia I have for it is tied into nostalgia for being a little kid. A cynical version…

The studios all make plenty of profit. They could release 10 250 million dollar movies *each* and still make billions of profits through their streaming services. Theatrical revenue is icing on the cake. The secret is that claiming no movie makes a profit is just another in a long line of “Hollywood accounting”…

Those MCU is dying pieces have to be written whether they are relevant or not

The real solution is to make movie attendance mandatory. You want your precious “social services”? Well, you better have your ticket stub to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Next Generation’ on you, or you don’t get squat!

Clearly the solution here is to create even bigger, more expensive movies and release them fifteen-to-twenty at a time. Audiences will be so bewildered by the sheer number of releases that they’ll have no choice but to watch them all, multiple times over.

Somehow the reaction is different when Alec Baldwin says that.
