Don't Sony have the rights to all of the Spider-Man characters? Aren't there any characters they can pull that are basically Spider-Man but not technically Spider-Man that they can stick in there just so there's an analog with big spider-eyes that looks close enough for audiences to buy? Surely they have access to, say, Silk or Spider Woman or something.

They literally have another Spider-Man.

Or is that the joke?

The sweatiness of “WARNING: R-RATED COMEDY” is my favorite part.

Buckle up, buttercups — this movie uses the F word!

lol the Beatles Cinematic Universe.

Into the Beatle Verse, where they team up with the Yellow Submarine versions, the 60s tv cartoon versions, The Bee Gees dressed as Sgt Pepper, the Walk Hard versions, etc.

John Wick is basically urban fantasy with the werewolves, vampires and fairies swapped out for gangsters, assassins and aristocrats.

Knowing Chad's background it might be be because (theorising here) he has a reputation for treating his stunt teams well.

It’s probably about time for John Wick to start hunting werewolves, isn’t it?

Or space, he’s overdue to go to outer space.

Probably should mention that there was a deleted scene: while Jack is interviewing at the Overlook, Wendy is talking with a friend about Jack breaking or dislocating Danny's arm while "roughhousing" and got fired from teaching for yelling at a student and how getting away to the Overlook will be the best thing for the family.

Jack admits to hurting Danny while he’s drinking at the Overlook bar, but tries to chalk it up to a quirk of physics rather than being angry enough to break his own kid’s arm.

If I don’t get to be one of those skeletal ghosts in a shroud that hangs around old houses and cackles non stop I’m going to be so pissed off.

Based on the word of mouth so far, Late Night With the Devil is allegedly a good movie. But if the filmmakers are okay with using algorithm-generated sludge anywhere in their final product it makes me inclined to believe they made a good movie by accident.

I’ve turned off a movie set during WWII when I saw clearly that one of the soldiers was wearing black New Balance sneakers. It was a very cheap movie, but if you’re a filmmaker and you don’t even try to hide something like that, it calls your entire work ethic and vision into question. Why should I care about your movie if you don’t?

It is happening because 1 side wants to kill homeless and the other want to imprison.

It would absolutely be something like this, lol.

Per a quote from last month:

"Why can't we all just get along?"

Does Garland think the government is just the post office and the DMV?

I was about to ask if he's the last surviving main actor from that film series and I guess I don't need to now.

Weird Al Yankovic.

I think Disney made the right call going with Baby Yoda instead of Dark Yoda.

So the Russos saw what Zack Snyder was doing and thought "Hey, we want a piece of this cake too".

Well if it didn't work last time building your own expanded universe, might as well try again in another genre.

How about you guys make A MOVIE first, then see if anyone wants more of it?

It's not just "buff LOTR".

There's also cyborgs and some characters are robots.

Maybe it's Frank Vallejo's Star Wars.

Masters of the Universe should be Flash Gordon with a soundtrack by Dio instead of Queen.

Huh? No it didn't.

Wonder Woman was a supporting character, while Aquaman and Flash got little cameos.

Edit: oh wait, they said four other superheroes, didn’t they? There might have been a Cyborg cameo at the end as well.

By that standard this is literally exactly what IRON MAN 2 does, on top of just flat out ignoring those other movies.

You’re right, it’s the same strategy. More and more I feel like the biggest difference between the MCU and the DCEU/Snyderverse is simply the perception that WB was trying to copy off Marvel’s homework.

The MCU was propped up by novelty and some really fortunate casting, and that’s about it.

Miller took loving 30 years off from Mad Max movies and then made the best movie of the entire series at an age where most filmmakers ossify into self-parody. It’s a goddamn miracle and if Furiosa is only half as good it’ll be the best movie I see all year.
