SPOILERS ABOUND! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST GO AWAY TILL YOU HAVE BECAUSE SPOILERS ARE LIKE LANDMINES. THEY’RE HIDDEN TILL YOU STUMBLE UPON THEM, THOUGH BY THAT TIME IT’S TOO LATE, AND SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS LOST.
Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past (review coming soon) just crossed the $500 million dollar barrier, making it the highest grossing of the X-Men films (the link contains spoilers. If you have not seen the movie, ignore it). And my response is: So what. What people seem to be missing is that 20th Century Fox is mismanaging […]
Last week, I saw Godzilla. It was OK, but a bit dour, though what I really wanted to see was X-Men: Days Of Future Past. I didn’t though. The reason, I told myself, was because Bryan Singer and some other Hollywood power-players were accused of molesting Michael Egan III numerous times when he was younger. And honestly, […]
Here’s a picture from “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” of Captain America (Chris Evans) in his new costume. It looks like a combination of the suit he wore in “Captain America: The First Avenger,” combined with the one he wore in his most recent adventure, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” I think it looks great, […]
In Whedon We Trust. Somewhat sacrilegious, I must admit, but I had no choice. I was looking for a half-decent rendition of what a costume for someone that could run at super speeds would look like, and found the designs for the upcoming television series “The Flash” somewhat lackluster. Though even worse were the designs […]
So far I am remarkably unimpressed by the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” trailer so far released. The thing is, they haven’t really shown us anything, and what they have shown us is–to me at any rate–underwhelming. Director Bryan Singer seems to be treating the movie as if it were some sort of Wagnerian epic, […]
And as you can see from this picture, “Meh” was being generous. This image is from Screen Crush, and as you can tell, it’s a picture of the new Flash costume, and it. Looks. Pretty. Bad. It also looks confining, when it should allow movement (I assume that the show’s producers will say that it’s […]
Unlike in the case of Bryan Singer‘s “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” as of this writing I haven’t seen anything from Joss Whedon‘s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron,” though it was made known that Paul Bettany (who voiced the Tony Stark’s AI, known as J.A.R.V.I.S) would be playing the synthizoid known as the Vision. For those […]
When Bryan Singer premiered “X-Men,” his movie based upon Marvel’s team of mutant superheroes, in 2000, there was a lot of controversy over the costumes. Instead of following the comics verbatim, they were made of leather (which was more than a little bit inspired by “The Matrix,” which came out a year earlier). It was […]
Happy Holidays! I hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday, hopefully with those that care for, and vice versa. It goes without saying that the course that Bryan Singer charted with the 2006 film, “Superman Returns” was an unsustainable one. It cost $270 million to produce and earned $391 million in worldwide box office receipts. Box […]
