I remember growing up wishing that Marvel Studios had control of the properties they ‘leased’ to other studios during their bankruptcy, like Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. Well, 2.5 out of three ain’t bad because with Disney’s purchase of the theatrical assets in 2019 they officially regained possession of the X-Men and Fantastic […]
Jared Leto posted an image from the upcoming Tron 3 or TR3N (a weird jumble of letters and a ‘3’ though unlike M3GAN it at least makes sense in that it’s the third Tron movie) on Instagram and apparently the movie carries over the design esthetic from Tron: Legacy (2010) That’s good and bad because […]
David Robert Mitchell, the writer and director of It Follows, is planning a sequel. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it’s going to be called They Follow and continue the story of the characters introduced in the first movie. I enjoyed the movie though it confused me why the entity was so inescapable because – while […]
James Gunn has called Andy Muschietti’s upcoming The Flash ‘one of the greatest superhero movies ever…‘ and that’s only true if you’ve seen very few superhero movies, because if you have, it isn’t. It has many problems, the most significant being Ezra Miller – never mind his various, and well-documented – problems in real life. […]
Apparently the sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022) is called The Batman – Part II, which is an interesting title considering not only that there was no The Batman – Part I but the first movie didn’t end with an indication that it was the first part of anything. That a sequel was expected […]
Which genuinely surprises me because I thought it was pretty safe to assume that the movie would go directly to streaming though The Hollywood Reporter has another tale to tell. Apparently a theatrical release is happening via Fantom Events, which makes me wonder who they’re expecting to see it because I’ve don’t see it as […]
I really enjoyed Tron (1982) – particularly the Wendy Carlos soundtrack – and didn’t mind the sequel, Tron: Legacy (2010), though I eventually came to appreciate it. Which exactly mirrored my feelings toward Daft Punk’s soundtrack and to this day I wondered if there was some reason she didn’t return for the sequel (beyond the […]
Remember Birds of Prey – or as it later came to be (ridiculously and somewhat pretentiously) called, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn? That movie underwhelmed at the box office, earning just over $200 million worldwide – which would be a triumph if it were more moderately-budgeted. Though one that […]
Bruce Willis isn’t a bad actor – he starred in Die Hard for Heaven’s sake! – but the thing is lately he doesn’t appear to particularly…care. And don’t interpret that to mean that he’s just “phoning it in” because that at least takes an actor to be in the moment and just choose not give […]
As you can probably guess, I really like words though as a focus of a television show it’s probably not something most people would find engaging. Then again there’s Netflix’s History of Swear Words. What makes it interesting is not only that it takes commonly used curses – which if you’ve existed on this planet […]
