Speaking of US military and Asia stuff, the director of Kubo & The Two String, Travis Knight, is making his live action debut with the Transformers spinoff Bumblebee. I also just found out his father was a co-founder Nike, and apparently Knight's studio Laika is owned by it.

Logan was pretty drat good so I'd like to bless whomever looked at the flaming wreck that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine and thought it sucked enough that they could go ahead with The Wolverine to wash the taste out.

Of course you'll have to set your movie in the 70s so you can use old jeeps and such because the military won't exactly let you shoot on an aircraft carrier

Nobody hates Zack Snyder. Even the people who say they do are probably just incorrectly blaming him for things more accurately left at the feet of David Goyer. And David Goyer doesn't look like he lifts, like, at all, bro.

Yeah the CCP censoring movies for political content is pretty garbage but so is the way the US military deals with Hollywood, and also to a certain extent the way that other financial interests in Hollywood influence the political content of movies. Like, both China and the US have issues with those in power influencing what media is produced and distributed to the public and it's incredibly troubling. The CCP being undisputably worse about it doesn't exempt the US.

The CCP being undisputably worse about it doesn't exempt the US. I really don't understand this argument people have against the army in films. If they're being asked to be in a film, then they of course would only want to represent themselves positively. Not a lot of people would appear in the film if it made them look like a fascist or racist. So if you want those million dollar tanks or planes to show up in a film, then you're going to want to be represented well in the final product. Otherwise, good luck to your props and vfx department.

Ghost in the Shell suddenly swapped out The Major's name from Motoko Kusanagi to Mira https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4we5kJsFZ4 Not sure if it is just part of some bigger thing or if they actually changed her name for the movie.

Was there every any reason to suspect that the character's name was Motoko? I can remember no official press materials/advertisements ever referring to Johansson's character as anything other than "Major." People just seemed to understand intuitively that "Major" was functionally the same character as the one from the anime, and then based on that conflated their names. Like, why should we expect that this is a 'late game' swap? How is this different from Sadako becoming Samara?

K. Waste posted:. They never denied she was Motoko Kusanagi until now. Like she Major but any references in interviews gave her the name, even in articles defending the cast for ScarJo. You would think that they'd bring that up the name change when defending that. I was reading an article that Oshii was interviewed under the impression she was Motoko, not "Mira".

Would Jared Leto be Tron or Flynn? Because Jared Leto is no Jeff Bridges. Or maybe he'd be Sark?
