At this point it honestly seems like a minor miracle that any of these big studios are able to release any films at all.

Martin Lawrence is saying that Bad Boys 3 is probably not happening. I have no opinion on this as I have never watched either of the Bad Boys movies.

There was a period between The Dark Knight (the second Nolan Batman film) being announced and any useful information about it being released where it was forbidden to make a thread because the then mod didn't want to have to deal with the drama that a Batman thread that was only speculation, unsourced rumours and contradicting nostalgias would bring up, so someone made a thread titled "The Dark Night" and the OP was a surprisingly well done effort post about the Martin Lawrence film.

There are a ton of Western films made in the Eastern Bloc in the 1960s/70s that are pretty much this. "The Sons of Great Bear" is probably the best example.

They should pull a reverse MGS2 with Batman, market it as starring someone else, have pictures of him in the batsuit, use him in commercials, then ten minutes into the film Affleck beats up Jean Paul Valley and takes his suit back.

Why not? DC already burned through Zod, Doomsday/The Death of Superman, and next Darkseid story lines.

The next Darkseid? Not familiar with that.

But I do know the last DC reboot featured as it's opening arc forming the Justice League them taking on Darkseid, so it seems like a completely logical movie to make. That's not a story requiring years of investment, it was one crafted specifically as one for introductory readers.

I agree. Comic book fans though, seem to think everything is rushed if it doesn't have at least five prequels.

I heard Alamo is doing this because an MRA asked if they were going to do a clown-only screening of It after they did a woman-only screening of WW.

I want to believe that Lucasfilm is making Han Solo and Boba Fett movies because they showed the OT to a modern audience and many complained about the sudden unexplained appearance of Han Solo and Boba Fett.

Honestly what they should do is have a screening of It where the audience is all clowns, except for one person.

For that one person it will be the ultimate experience in terror.
