“Put on a diaper and stand in the closet? You’re the best, Aunt May, the best!”

I was hoping after Lovecraft Country that DC would see that Mischa Green is a perfect writer/director to work on their properties. She has a great sensibility for fantasy, pulp and adventure, as well as an obvious creative chemistry with Smollett. I hope she doesn’t stick too close to the Harley Quinn continuity, but…

Why so adamant? I’m no Mephisto-stan, as noted my favorite appearance of the character was where he was used as a joke. But, while the MCU doesn’t have a perfect record, they are good at making seemingly lame characters interesting. Their misfires, in fact, are often characters that should be cool like Taskmaster.

I’d argue the only moment that Strange is reckless, both in comics and movies, is when he has that car accident. His surgical breakthroughs work. If Strange had heeded Wong’s admonition against studying the time gem, he never could have defeated Dormammu. His actions are largely in service of preserving reality, order…

If the MCU can make M’Baku (Man-Ape) cool, I think they can do the same to Mephisto. My favorite Mephisto comic book appearance was in the Marvel Knights Black Panther run, where the villain cursed Everett Ross with endless pants and T’Challa knocked him out with one punch. I think some fun can be had with Mephisto…

I read “ffh” as “ffs” and now I really want to see Spider-Man: For Fuck’s Sake as the next sequel.

I prefer to look at this as the Marvel Team Up version of Spider-Man

What’s especially ironic is that Otto Octavius was sort of a father figure to Peter Parker in some versions of Spider-Man.

There are a lot of suggestions (or misdirects) that Mephisto plays a role in this movie — Peter making a wish, the sign with the devil horns. The Sanctum literally freezing over (as in hell freezing over) could be about that.

As IrvingLee replied to you upthread, there’s just too many moving parts in an international movie franchise to plug all the holes, especially when you add a pandemic ravaged rollout schedule to the existing challenges: foreign release dates, toys, advertising tie-ins etc. (You sound familiar with the process, so I am…

I’m sure neither is happy with a breach in security, but both are delighted with the publicity and buzz. Its not really hurting anything, countering some of the negative press around Black Widow and helping gin up enthusiasm as two highly touted but largely unknown properties roll out. 

Kevin Feige desperately trying to stop millions of MCU fans from feverishly sharing tweeting about Spider-Man: No Way Home:

POC should not have to be the one’s to save this bitch. 

The question posed in the article is what is YOUR favorite ending line in a movie. Its more a personal choice than an attempt to find the objectively best, most popular line, though these lists do a little bit of both.

The melancholy, poignant last line from Terence Malice’s Days of Heaven has always stuck with me. Earlier in the film we’ve seen our narrator’s only friends, two lovers, dealt a horrible fate by poverty and the cruelty of rich men. In the coda that takes place some time later, we see the narrator with a new friend, a f…

I would like to see a League of Extraordinary Gentleman for ‘80s and ‘90s tv superheroes. I’d also like a shared Saxophone Universe that includes Nightman, Lisa Simpson, Bill Clinton, Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band and the saxophone guy from Lost Boys. No one ever accused me of being practical.

My main criticism isn’t about Boseman’s performance, its about writing that renders the character too perfect, too devoid of flaws and inherently imo less interesting than he could be. If anything, Boseman’s performance (both here and the BP movie) mitigate that issue by finding nuances that aren’t in the script.

I agree that Batman Returns is Keaton’s best outing as the character — he’s more comfortable in the role and has great chemistry with Pfieffer — but there will always be a part of me that wishes we got to see an Alec Baldwin Batman opposite a Michael Keaton Joker.

I think what Jeopardy really needs is a gritty reboot with Ben Kingsley, reprising his role from Sexy Beast, as the new host.

A black paraplegic hero fights crime with an advanced tech suit and a whiz kid assistant — this is the stealth reboot of M.A.N.T.I.S. that I’ve always wanted.
