Then let's just say that Thomas Jane in Dirty Laundry is Dredd. Violently murdering perps then half-assedly ruffling the hair of some kid who's most likely growing up to be another perp is a very Dredd thing to do. The only way it could be any more like Dredd was if he shot the kid too, for loitering or some such.

Dredd felt like it was to Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal as Dirty Laundry was to Frank Miller's Holy Terror .

The development of the game had some issues in that they had to add stuff like black and white, cut aways and making you lose "points" for actually killing guys with the torture events to keep from getting an A/O rating. The other funny thing is that the developers didn't actually expect to get Thomas Jane for the voice so they never asked him. Then one day he called them up and asked when they wanted him to come in.

twistedmentat posted:While i'd love to see Ms Marvel, Kamala Khan would freak out enough Americans to make her toxic for the movies. See how Fox News and its ilk freaked out about the Muslim kid in One Direction wished everyone a happy Ramadan. 9/11 was 13 years ago, I think we might be able to handle a Miss Marvel without mass riots and lynching- I think people deserve a little more credit than you give them (barring a few extremely vocal minorities). The kind of people who freak out about this poo poo and generally act like assholes probably wouldn't have gone to see the movie in the first place even if it was about a dorky white teenage girl with superpowers having low key adventures anyway, so its not like they'd be losing out on a key demographic or anything.

Well if you watch the interview where he said that I think it's clear he didn't understand the interviewer was talking about a superhero TV show on a low tier broadcast network and instead thought he meant playing the character in another movie.

Liam Neeson is not showing up on Arrow, he says in the interview he hasn't been approached and they've already started filming. Giving a polite answer to a silly question doesn't mean Neeson's agent or filming commitments would ever allow such a thing to happen.

I don't know where on the dignity or prestige spectrum it would land if you want to say he'd never do TV but he played himself on Extras. That was probably only a day's work.

So, Marvel may be working on a Black Panther movie depending on whether you think that Stan Lee is the type of doddering old man that might accidentally leak news or the type of doddering old man that is left completely out of the loop.quote:“We haven’t made a Black Widow movie but she’s been in some of our movies, and she will be featured more prominently as we move forward,” Lee said. “And the chances are she will have her own movie because eventually all the superheroes are going to have their own movies. They are already working on Ant-Man, Dr. Strange and the Black Panther and there are others I am not allowed to talk about.”

I'm sure they are technically always working on a Black Panther film. That doesn't mean it's going to happen. Also I'm really sick of hearing about this whole "will they/won't they" bullshit.

On the one hand, if there's been so much scuttlebutt over a Black Panther film at Marvel Studios that Stan is sure the film is on its way then there may actually be a genuine push behind it. On the other hand, only a tiny tiny percent of the films being "worked on" ever make it to a screen (if we're including all the scripts being pushed by agents onto producers then the success rate would be under 1%) and there's a million ways that a project can get killed along the way. I have absolutely no doubt that there's a whiteboard somewhere at Marvel Studios with a list of potential MCU films written on it and that T'Challa is on that list and they may have even commissioned a script treatment or two and talked to some potential directors and actors but we'll have to wait and see whether it goes any further.

Well that Joaquin Phoenix as Strange deal may not work out:quote:Evidently, the delay in signing Phoenix goes a bit beyond the inability to hammer out a contract. The main problems "go beyond the basic fact that Phoenix is balking at the heavy multi-picture contract: Joaquin Phoenix literally doesn't know if he can work on this kind of movie. He's a great actor, and he can play the role. But the Marvel Studios blockbuster machine is full of pre-viz and fight-viz and green screen and massive reshoots. It's not a world that's as comfortable for him, and he's just not certain he can do it. ... If Marvel can get past any issues Phoenix has with the larger contract they still have to get over the doubt this terrific actor has about working in this larger environment." Which is what I thought when I heard that he was in the mix for casting. MCU isn't exactly arthouse.

I mean he was in Gladiator, which as I recall was one of the first films to do a ton of green screening and CG the way we think of it today, mostly for the Colosseum. Either way I doubt that'd be his problem.

That was back in the day. If you look at his most recent stuff it's all prestige stuff. I don't think his problem would be with the actual mechanics of the shoot, more of the rep of comic book movies.

Liam Neeson has stated in interviews before that the reason he is working more now than previously is because he likes to stay busy after the death of his wife which I think people forget. Basically, he's just throwing himself into his craft. So no I would not be surprised if he'd be willing to do a Television series.

It's also been a few years, and I imagine his mental state is a good bit better than it was immediately after his wife died. I don't think you can draw any meaningful conclusions about whether he'd be interested in TV work from that policy. It is the reason he went from Academy Award winning roles to "imma just karate chop everyone in the world" movies.

An enterprising fan went and edited together all of Loki's scenes from the Thor and Avengers movies to tell Loki's story. https://vimeo.com/104165262 Turns out Loki's not all that bad a guy! As comic readers already kinda know.

I like how isolating him from the rest of Avengers shows how he's clearly in panic mode throughout the film. After the events of Thor he has nowhere to go and thus in a rash move throws in with Thanos, who is bloody terrifying, and gets in a bit too deep with no way out except through.

But Loki is a bad guy, like Doom he's charismatic but he's always a bad guy. Though I guess cutting out the parts of Avengers where he leads an army to murder a bunch of people and try to take over the world would ruin the slash fiction.

I think the most impressive thing about that video is that they somehow found enough footage to fill a more than two hour video of Loki edit: oh I guess large parts of it are just scenes from Thor 1 and 2 that don't actually include Loki
