It's some barely-not-sub-Shyamalamadingdong crap, please don't.

Nicknames are super common and nothing to get in a huff over. I mean SMg said "ScarJo" on the last page which is a nickname and you didn't call him out. "Shyamalamadingdong" is totally different because it is (borderline?) racist implying that his weird foreign name is hard to say.

Other nicknames you can take for a spin:

J-Law (a twist on J-Lo but for Jennifer Lawrence)

JoGo (Joseph Gordon Levitt of course)

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I thought that JoGo and ScarJo movie had its charms, but that is mostly because of ToneD and that scene where he is singing along to that MaMaWah & The FyBun song in the car.

The edges of the frame are a part of the composition. So, in your attempt to 'see more of the movie', you are actually removing parts of the image. Those two horizontal lines.

In the Scarjo image, those horizontal lines accentuate the length of the rifle, the confining barrier in the background, and the ironic humanitarian taxicab ad.

Without the proper aspect ratio, these compositional elements are scattered semi-randomly inside an expansive square.

In other words, the bars are there to disguise the ugly edges of the set, and minimize the amount of obviously-greenscreened backdrop.

I accept this explanation. Thank you for the education, SMG.

For a while there it looked like we were going to get a big budget Conan film at Warner Bros developed by the Wachowskis or even John Milius again but the people who own the rights to most of Robert E. Howard’s characters (Paradox Entertainment/Fredrik Malmberg) got sick of WB dragging their feet so they struck a new deal with Millennium Films with the proviso that they start filming within a year or pay an extra million for every year they hadn't started production. Warner kept the rights to all the scripts they'd developed up to that point so Millennium had to start from scratch and they rushed through a bunch of scripts and a bunch of rewrites but they also couldn't nail down a director for ages and the end result was a rushed mess that no one was happy with.

The film actually made less than either of the first two Conan films even though they were released in the 80s. Nice work Paradox/Malmberg, that "Push through production no matter what" plan worked out great!

Good, I felt that Conan - The New managed to be worse than Conan - The Destroyer. That is no small feat. Still made me feel bad for Momoa, I hope he gets to shine in Aquaman.

I've said it before, but the new Conan film felt like it was made by people whose only knowledge of Conan was from the low budget European rip offs of Conan from the mid eighties.

I'm sure that Old Man Logan is as bad as you guys are talking about, but I'm not worried because movie adaptations have historically been very different from the comics they're based on.

I mean it will still probably be bad, but not because of the original source materials badness. It will be new badness.

Well it won't have Wolverine killing Hulk's incestuous retard kids for a start but I guess we also won't be getting the scene where Wolverine escapes a Venom symbiote-infused T rex in the Spidermobile and that's a darn shame.

The use of Mysterio was clever, Millar does really good splash pages and neat ideas but his writing is often just thoughtless and nonsensical.

It was basically "Unforgiven: Wolverine".

"I'm not like that no more. I done changed my ways" until he is like that and has to adapt his old ways. Like murdering people for starters.

Though I love "Unforgiven", "Old Man Logan" was pretty bad and overall I did not like it even though it had it's moments and was occasionally clever. The art was good. Some of the more enticing parts of the story relied heavily on a lot properties that Marvel doesn't own the rights to so that's a big stumbling block right there as far as getting a film made. I guess they could switch some out for others but that certainly wouldn't improve what was already a pretty bad story with only a few interesting elements.

There were a lot of Avengers, FF and Spiderman references that really drove the story, so I'm not sure how they'd go about replacing those things.
