Honestly, I feel Danny and the earliest segments of his story are some of the dreariest, dullest, most insufferable bits of the show… right up to the point where he actually starts meeting the other characters, and then all of a sudden, he's great!

Lmao! Okay, I'm two episodes in, and the fight between Danny and Luke Cage where they first meet (which isn't a spoiler— it's in the trailers) is worth the price of admission ALONE. Danny just keeps throwing these punches, kicks, sweeps… and every one of his moves just stops DEAD when they hit Cage. And then Cage just…

Heck, the culture-shock elements would even still work with an Asian Danny. Just have rich, sheltered Danny reconnect with a culture that his wealth essentially isolated him from, rather than falling into a culture that was never his own and pulling the old "Mighty Whitey" troupe.

Between this and Hemsworth's Twitter flirtations with Gal Gadot, does Thor just have some subconscious urge to bang every popular superhero he runs into?

Yep. I have no idea why they didn't go through with it, but the script ended up being adapted into a comic one-shot called "Batman '66: The Lost Episode" a few years back.

I wouldn't necessarily give the producers THAT much credit. These ARE still the same people that produced Die Another Day, after all. And these guys have been milking the James Bond franchise for DECADES, so the idea of a definitive ending— even if its immediately followed up with an episodic reboot— might be an…

Someone mentioned this crazy idea on birth.movies.death, and I kind of INSTANTLY fell in love with it: wouldn't it be great if Craig's next movie was written as "the LAST Bond movie" a la The Dark Knight Rises or Logan, and they turned Craig's five-film run on the character into a self-contained, complete story like…

This popped up in a lot of the other reviews I've read, too. Honestly, I don't get the criticism.

Honestly, the casting of William Shatner as Two-Face is so brain-meltingly perfect that I'm actually angry at the '60s TV show for NOT doing Two-Face, just so they could have cast him back in '66.

Honestly, I'm trying not to think too much about it one way or another, because film history is replete with movies made worse through meddling and reshoots— Superman II, Fant4stic, etc. And DC has an ABYSMAL example of this already with Suicide Squad.

I just bought the first season of Daredevil on Blu-Ray yesterday— because streaming availability or not, I still like to OWN the things I love— so I've been going through it again for the first time in a while… And God DAMN, I forgot how great that show was in the beginning.

I'm definitely not gonna try that— ya' got me there. But I AM willing to argue that a low-budget action movie with little-to-no audience recognition is going to make much more money if it has a crystal-clear narrative hook that can be put in the trailer.

I think Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery kind of ended up in the same rut as The Matrix, where the eventual sequels were so terrible that they kind of retroactively tainted memories of the first film. But I agree: the original Austin Powers was a wonderfully sharp satire of '60s James Bond and his many…

I'm really pulling for this movie. David F. Sandberg is clearly a very inventive and engaged storyteller; the only reason Lights Out turned out to be so problematic is because the studio forced a change in the ending due to poor test screenings (even though the original ending not only resolved the issues with the…

My favorite part was how he has an evil lair filled with minions who, apparently, ALSO want to destroy the world. Actually, it seems to be a pretty huge organization of people— all of whom are apparently TOTALLY COOL with ending all of existence.

No subthreads?!

"Weekend Box Office: The man in black fled across the desert…"

I actually did go to see The Dark Tower this weekend. I'm always as curious to see a terrible adaptation of a story I love as I am to see a good one, but this film was just… lifeless. Mediocre. I couldn't even muster the energy to be MAD at it.

Little baby Miko Hughes is all kinds of adorable when he's killing Herman Munster.

Agreed! Like, of all the stupid, unbelievable crap in that movie, THAT'S the thing you point to as being ridiculous?
