    You seem to be assuming that Kathryn Bigelow even wants to direct a superhero movie, which I’m guessing she doesn’t. You’ll notice that no Oscar winning director has ever directed an MCU or DCEU movie; they don’t really want people who are going to exert artistic independence and have the clout to fight them on

    The MCU has delivered literally dozens of non-“grimdark” superhero movies.  If that’s what you like you are well served and D.C. has also made several lighthearted superhero movies like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Lantern. Neither The Dark Knight nor any of the other darker superhero movies are taking anything

    Kingdom of the Crystal Skull might be the worst thing Lucasfilm put out post-1998. Say what you will about the Star Wars prequels, but at least people remember and care about them... Crystal Skull is just the most forgettable thing imaginable. The one and only thing it accomplishes is to fuck up the phrase “Indiana

    Correct, the issue is a contract Fox had with HBO.  The movies are required to have theatrical releases (so that round of publicity gives them legitimacy), then they get played on HBO for a certain period, and then the rights return to Disney to do as they please with them.

    Or by the time this comes out in a year three other celebrities will have gotten into worse trouble and the people who aren’t constantly keeping up with stuff will be going “Armie who?”

    How about they just release it and assume people are able to understand that movies don’t get made overnight and that it’s possible to watch someone in a movie without, like, personally endorsing everything about him?

    Don Cheadle seems like one of those actors who isn’t quite an A-list movie star but also feels too big for network television.

    Worst thing a white guy has done to Hot Girl Summer since Hot Girl Bummer

    Colin got the Big gene, Chet got the Forrest Gump gene.

    Didn't this already happen months ago?

    Wakandaland should lead to some fun discourse on the internet when everyone realizes that (through a combination of population demographics and financial inequality) a majority of its visitors end up being white.  At least every other month we’ll get a story about some white kid cutting in front of a black kid to get

    I bet they made the George Clooney movie Tomorrowland so that they’d have something to base a remodel on, but then that movie flopped so that didn’t work out.

    Dick Wolf must have sooooooooo much money.

    Isn’t Jamie Foxx well into his fifties and not terribly buff?  Unless he’s actually playing someone else I’m not really getting that casting.

    I’m in kind of a “guilty pleasure” place with Suicide Squad.  It’s undeniable crap, but it’s crap in a very specific way that I find amusing.  It’s a movie that my inner fourteen year old thinks is very cool.

    I’d say he’s a horrible filmmaker and an even worse writer.  In fact Suicide Squad is probably his best movie if only because it’s take on “the streets” can at least claim to be intentionally cartoonish while his nonsense like End of Watch and Sabotage just scream “dumb white guy trying to be edgy while not knowing

    That is the thing, if the comic book industry hadn’t had the foresight to create this exploitative system I would imagine that figuring out who gets the royalties for any given film adaptation would be quite the headache given that almost all of these characters have essentially been shaped and re-shaped over the

    Direct to DVD Sniper sequels, lots of them.

    Sonic was less of a movement so much as it was a bunch of people saying “this sucks” and the studio thinking “yeah, they have a point.”  As for this?  Yeah, it’s a joke.

    It was Martin Lawrence: You So Crazy, which dropped the rating and was released Unrated.  I highly doubt the MPAA would have rated it NC-17 today.
