Apparently in the future according to Fede Alvarez and Alien: Romulus acid-bleeding aliens aren’t the only things that don’t quite make sense (I can see no reason for the Alien to have acid for blood and it has been a part of their mythology that’s always bothered me. It’s clearly an apex predator and such […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gina Cerano is suing Disney because she was fired from The Mandalorian in 2021. And it’s a lawsuit she’s likely to lose because as I understand it actors are At Will Employees, which is to say they can be fired for virtually any reason at all (and while an employer […]
I’ve never been a Star Trek fan, not really. Sure, I grew up watching Star Trek but that was more due to the fact that there was nothing else available. It’s the same reason I watched Lost In Space. I didn’t love it, particularly the later episodes, which were often silly, but it was also […]
This is not the sort of thing that typically interests me, but I watched Doctor Sleep a few days ago so I’m shining all over the place. And sure, the commercial makes no narrative sense at all, though to see Bryan Cranston doing his best Jack Torrance is a joy to behold. And Tracee Ellis […]
‘Hindsight is always 20-20’ which means it’s easy to say how something would have been successful after the fact. I mention it because prognosticators at The Hollywood Reporter have decided that Marvel Studios had dodged a bullet by abandoning plans for a feature film based on the Inhumans. And that’s entirely possible, though the reasons […]
Words matter, so if you read ‘China Box Office: ‘Solo’ Bombs With Third-Place $10.1M Opening’ from The Hollywood Reporter you’re likely to assume that the movie failed there. And in a sense it did, though Star Wars movies since being purchased by Disney have underperformed in the Middle Kingdom before–Rogue One: A Star Wars Story […]
If you’ve been thinking that the only thing wrong with Star Trek was that they were missing gay sex, then I have the video for you! Though to be fair, what cause my eye was the poster, which is surprisingly faithful to that of one of the better Trek movies, Star Trek: The Motion Picture […]
It seems that finally Zach Snyder has fallen out of favor at Warner Bros, though my question is why it took so long to happen. Keep in mind while he’s overseen produced no flops while the creative force behind the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) though what he has done was produce three movies–Man of Steel, […]
Remember 2014’s Dracula Untold? That Luke Evans starrer was originally supposed to be the first movie in Universal’s Dark Universe imprint till they did a ‘Green Lantern‘ and changed their minds. Though based on reviews coming in for Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy reboot they might have been better served by going with their original plan. Indiewire’s […]
I didn’t see last week’s Academy Award presentation mainly because I think as Americans we spend way too much time celebrating ourselves. An award for this, an award for that; it seems like there’s one for just about every activity that you can think of. And since they’re become so relatively common–maybe they’ve always been and I […]
