It was indeed 1989, there was a special Film Festival screening of Akira in New Zealand that year.

Agreed, but don’t think the economics would have worked with Will Smith. He’s getting at least $20M (probably closer to $30M) for this movie. Even if a TV show had a much lower days on set:hours of content ratio, it would still be hard to see how the economics would work.

Shame they didn’t get Martin Lawrence to play the orc. Woulda been funny for this to be a secret Bad Boys 3.

I really wish Netflix had chosen the serial format for this rather than a movie. There is a lot of potential here.

I know. This last election should have been a shoe-in and they put the most unpalatable candidate they could come up with up against someone that virtually anyone else would have stomped into the ground.

SO twisted. SO cool!

Let’s be fair, The Wolverine was very good up until the third act, and Mangold wasn’t responsible for that part. Mechasamurai was the result of interference from Fox.

While I loved her character and really liked Logan, I feel it was the exception to the rule for Mangold.

Mixed feelings. While I loved her character and really liked Logan, I feel it was the exception to the rule for Mangold. Not to mention I think the fact that Logan was “the end” of the story gave him parameters that worked to his advantage. Laura would be a continuing, opening story with more room to go wrong than…

One is that you have to endure the withering abuse of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher

“The story involved the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise visiting the home planet of the Titans of ancient myth, and then traveling back in time to teach prehistoric man the secret of fire”

No, not Secret Invasion. It was fine the first time in ROM The Spaceknight. It didn’t need Bendis retelling it, much less being brought to life now.

The Raid is almost non-stop, bone-crunching, throat-stabbing action. This movie elicits more pained expressions of “Oooh!” from the viewer than any other action movie. Mad Dog is amazing. I like the sequel even more, where Evans responded to criticism about the first movie’s threadbare plot by stuffing in a twisty…

Unfortunately it’s powered by diesel and has 3 open recalls on it.

Agreed. At first I thought they just found some old footage and cut her out, which is why she had a strangeness.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but my favorite part of that effect was that it felt like she stepped out of the old film. She was “off” but not in the Rogue One type of way. She felt like she had the living human equivalent of film grain. Her color grading was just the right amount of different from the rest of…

Damn. Definitely can’t wait to check out more of Deborah Ann Woll and Bernthal playing off each other again. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I almost get an Unforgiven vibe off the feel of what we’ve seen, so far.

I just skimmed this, but I’m intrigued by the idea of putting Philadelphia inside a hole on the moon.
