Elysium made it seem like his political allegory ideas needed his cowriter from District 9 to stick without completely bashing the audience over the head (and D9 wasn't subtle), we'll see if reteaming with her for Chappie comes closer to the quality of that versus what he put out as sole writer on Elysium. A movie

Would it kill them to just make a swashbuckling story without the diminishing supernatural returns? It would be a lot less expense to produce even.

Jordan and Bell are excellent actors, Mara and Teller can deliver as well, though for some reason Teller's face always reads giant punchable douche to my mind. The director showed promise with Chronicle, but all that said, these people are not right for this source material, and this source material is not right for

Because Marvel Entertainment (different from Marvel Studios) is directly involved, if not in control, of all the movies based on its properties.

Are we acting like Nolan himself isn't an obvious arranger of his favorite influences now?

Gives the tiniest bit of hope that at least the period scenes in Ant-Man will work though.

You know they went all out in their efforts to make this different than before because they arbitrarily changed the 4 logo from a circle to a rectangle.

Yeah, I didn't click the video but I did open Spotify to listen to Stay With Me for the first time and it was obvious.

I'm the same way, in my car and at home I control the music, the only time I've ever heard a Sam Smith song is when someone did I'm Not the Only One on The Voice last fall. I live in Boston but this isn't the kind of song that gets blasted over PAs in stores or restaurants apparently.

Melodies can be, and there is a definite similarity here, Smith knows it too since apparently his lawyers told him to kowtow without a fight.

This the first time I've ever listened to Sam Smith, and he sounds eerily like a mainstream-friendly repackage of James Blake. Has anyone ever seen them together??

The vocal melody is similar as well.

I think he was a tragic figure in season 2, but instead of just moving on from everyone expecting him to be the bad guy, he just became the bad guy for real. For the first few seasons he was probably the most interesting character on TV, ever since he's mostly been a very entertaining villain. Once in awhile that lost

The season will be 13 episodes long, so Dillahunt will be coming and going. It looks like Sam Elliott is the real big bad this year.

His comments undermine our ability to use the 2nd Amendment and "civil liberties" to profit by selling guns. Neeson is a naturalized US citizen so he is not "factually ignorant" of our culture, and he's allowed to express his own opinion. This is a publicity stunt to get the company's name out there and in the face of

I still think it should be 28 Seconds Later, given the way the last one ended.

I'm still disappointed Emma Stone isn't going to be the star though. But Mia I'm Not Going to Look Up How To Spell Her Last Name is pretty great too I guess, at least in the acting department.

This is based on someone else's writing. Wasn't this on the Black List for a few years a long time ago?

Great film though it may be, Pan's Labyrinth does share a lot with Devil's Backbone in terms of premise. And both further the trend that while he's an entertaining schlocky filmmaker in English, he can actually bring some thematic depth behind the nightmares when working in Spanish. I still wish we could see his

Worst is a stretch when we live in a world with songs like "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", "Christmas Shoes" and that horrifying donkey song.
