Ok so forget the looks, completely and utterly, there's only one thing that matters for The Shadow, and that's the voice. Who can do that voice justice?

catlord posted:I think you can have dark and gritty pulps. I would actually be super behind a new Shadow movie, I love the character but I've actually not read a whole lot with him, nor seen the movie. I have heard some of the radio plays though. The movie isn't terrible but it isn't brilliant either. At best it's good, not great. Not as good as Dick Tracy with Warren Beatty, as far as Batman '89 followers go.

"I look at them and scratch my head. I'm really baffled by it. I think there's a lot of waste but maybe if I did one of those things with the green screens I'd find out different. I don't know. Maybe they do cost that much. I don't know. It seems to me that you could do it for less. If you're spending outrageous amounts of money, $180 million or more, I don't know how you make it back after the tax man gets you, and after you give half to the exhibitors. What did they spend on Batman v Superman that they're admitting to? And it's a piece of poo poo. I'm not interested in the stuff. Do you know what the difference between real superheroes and comic book superheroes is? Real superheroes didn't wear spandex. So I don't know. Spandex must cost a lot."

Don't do it Mel. Don't take that sweet loving paycheck from WB. Make that Viking movie you always wanted to make that was going to be in all Old Norse language with subtitles instead.

You're right. He's seen the napkin with a couple bad ideas from old comics, the words "ZOOM IN ON MARGOT ROBBIE'S rear end" underlined and then circled, and a ketchup stain.

I dunno, man, I kinda liked that scene where Joker looked at a painting of Jesus Christ being crucified and whispering "Not even I can joke about your sacrifice." before praying and gearing up to the final confrontation against the evil BatWoman.

I mean, Gibson is a really good director, personal issues aside. Hacksaw Ridge was a great film so I wouldn't be averse to him trying his hand at some kind of superhero fare but I think maybe a non Marvel or DC film would be more his speed.

It's too bad Marvel has a more serious Tish Walker in JJ, because Ellie Kemper would be a perfect live action version of the Kate Leth books take on her.

notthegoatseguy posted:I love JMS' run on Spider-Man up until Sins Past. But man, that 9/11 issue has aged badly. Everything from 9/11 has aged badly. Most of the country was in a national psychotic break. Pop Culture and the Media during this time: - Fired multiple news anchors for saying that the President might be lying about his reasons for invading Iraq because the evidence didn't add up. - NBC had an entire month of special episodes of all of its prime-time shows that had the characters sit down and talk about coming together as one people and defeating our enemies (the West Wing actually got flak because their episode included a sentence about how terrorism is something that can be caused by instability and was therefore blaming America) - Fired Bill Maher for saying that he would be too scared to hijack a plane and kill himself, so the 9/11 hijackers were insane, but not cowards. - The FCC banned rap songs that mentioned the CIA in a negative light. - Top 40 Stations, Classic Rock Stations, and Alternative Stations all had Lee Greenwood in their top 20 played songs for over a year. - Every single comic character from New York had an entire issue about "the real super villains."

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Everything from 9/11 has aged badly. Most of the country was in a national psychotic break. Also anything to do with WTC or falling was banned from media. So you wanted to hear Tom Petty's freefalling while watching Homer vs New York, well, SOL. Wasn't there a teaser for the first Spider-Man movie that had crooks being caught in a web between WTC towers?

Doctor Strange Blu-Ray / Digital Release has a bunch of tidbits in the director's commentary and featurettes: - Scott Derrickson confirmed that one of the universes that Strange flies through is the Microverse / Quantum Realm as a nod to Ant-Man - One of the co-writers for Infinity War explains part of the structure of Infinity War and how it is different from the comics: quote:His goal is to re-balance the universe as he sees it. When he figures out that the Infinity Stones could do this for him at the snap of a finger, that becomes his main goal. A good portion of [Infinity War] is essentially a Thanos solo-film. He knows the power of the stones, but hasn't initially figured out their role when combined. His relationship with Death is not going to be a direct translation from the comics. - Feige and Gunn confirmed that Guardians Vol. 2 has 0 scenes on Earth and that the Guardian's don't end up on earth at the end. In the Infinity War featurette on the Blu-Ray they have RDJ, Tom Holland, and Chris Hemsworth on an alien looking set. Strongly implying that The Avengers eventual meetup with the Guardians is not on Earth. - They already have ideas for Doctor Strange 2 and the three big elements they want to include are: - More focus on Mordo - "Dimension hopping" - Doctor Strange villains that involve fighting in non-traditional scenarios (Nightmare)
