More Mary Poppins images:  These are the grown up kids from the first movie with their own kids. I thought that meant they had kids together like some sort of weird pervert thing but they have spouses and just raise their brood communal or something:  More here - https://imgur.com/a/mQU2B No blue guy, though. Also Okja had drawn the ire of the top 3 cinema chains in Korea, all of which refuse to screen it. http://variety.com/2017/film/asia/korea-cinemas-deny-screens-to-netflix-okja-bong-joon-ho-1202456655/

Mary Poppins is a nigh-omniscient being with undefined supernatural powers (including creating and traveling to new universe/dimensions) who is also probably immortal or at least ageless. She's scary enough as she is.

I saw Battlefield Earth under the influence of prescription painkillers due to a knee injury at the time, and it's still, to this very day, one of the greatest comedies i've ever seen in a movie theater.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Supposed Mummy spoilers I saw it tonight and that's mostly correct. Jake Johnson is bitten by a camel spider in the tomb and dies on the plane when they're getting the sarcophagus out of Egypt. He turns into a zombie and starts stabbing people and is shot down by Cruise. The plane crashes but Cruise doesn't survive, he wakes up in a body bag in the morgue. He convinces Annabelle Wallis' character to accompany him to the crash site to see the mummy's corpse to see for himself that she's been destroyed but it turns out she's regained her vitality by sucking the life out of the police at the scene, turning them into zombies under her control and subtly influencing Cruise to make him come to her. It turns out that the dagger is hidden in a statue in a church near the crash scene, the mummy sensed it and deliberately made the plane crash nearby. The jewel from the dagger's handle is missing so the ritual can't be completed, Cruise and Wallis manage to escape but the mummy easily catches up to them and starts kicking Cruise's rear end until Jekyll's men arrive and capture her. During all this Johnson keeps popping up as a deteriorating ghost to explain stuff to Cruise exactly like that guy in An American Werewolf in London except lovely and pointless. Jekyll's men are working to re-embalm the mummy to render her powerless but they're also trying to find the mystical jewel. It turns out that Jekyll can't remove the curse from Cruise but he's planning on using the dagger to kill him and bring out Set anyway because he thinks he can kill Set and remove that evil forever. When his men discover the jewel in a Crusader tomb underneath London the mummy senses this and escapes, taking the dagger with her and raising an army of zombies in the tunnels underneath London. The rest is all pretty much right except Russell Crowe does the voiceover at the end explaining that Cruise will be roaming the world trying to find a cure for his curse but will be attracted to evil, implying that he'll be tracking down and defeating monsters as he goes. well why not posted:So is Tom Cruise playing Van Helsing or not? Pretty much. He's not called Van Helsing but he more or less takes up the role at the end of the film..

BexGu posted:So is The Mummy fun and worth seeing opening weekend? gently caress noooooo Go rent the '99 Brendan Fraser film instead, even if you've seen it before. Especially if you've seen it before.  The airplane crash is pretty much the best action sequence in the film and you've seen almost all of that in the trailers anyway. The supernatural stuff is nothing special, the plot is straightforward and dumb, Jekyll's quasi-BPRD organisation isn't nearly as good as the Hellboy sequences it rips off (and they don't bother fleshing out any secondary characters at all), Cruise's character tries to do the whole amoral Han Solo/Cptn Jack Sparrow charming rogue turn but just isn't charismatic enough to measure up, the romance arc isn't believable since the leads have no chemistry .... It's a boring plot with miscast actors playing characters that aren't fleshed out trying to prevent something we're not interested in and making grand sacrifices that we don't care about.

Dragon Rider is an animated movie based on books entering production, totally different books from the Dragonriders of Pern series so don't get them confused even though I did (they have a space between Dragon and Rider, thus completely unique!), the Pern books have been in development hell forever, most recently with WB.quote:Johnny Smith, one of the screenwriters on Disney's 2011 hit Gnomeo & Juliet, adapted Funke's novel for the screen, with award-winner German shorts animator Tomer Eshed directing in what will be his feature debut. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/constantin-begins-production-dragon-rider-1011418

He's from Chicago, so it's not like he grew up around LA. I went through this a few months ago with Michael Pena, I'm not gonna be bummed about another actor I really like.

Yeah, the dragon riders are mentally linked "impressed" with their dragons. When the dragons go on a mating flight, their riders head to the bedroom and do to.

For some reason I assumed this Dark Universe stuff would lead to The Mummy, Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc. all teaming up to eradicate mankind, not Indiana Cruise and the BPRD fighting them one at a time. I like my version better.
