My favorite thing about Leto's Joker is comic book nerds having problem grasping that keeping Leto around as Joker is WB listening to the fans.

My completely unfounded, pulled-out-my-rear end guess is that Affleck won't commit until he sees the reception to JL.

Was it someone here who said it? "My favorite genre of entertainment news is interviewers trying very hard to get anyone involved in the DCU to say that Zack Snyder is bad."

That's what will make DC comic book movies a success at last, opaque continuity based around the desire of writers to tell self-contained stories while desperately maintaining 'canon' because ???

The MCU formula, as regularly gets pointed out in this thread, barely has any continuity at all in terms of plot or character. It has continuity... of costumes and actors.

This has nothing to do with the allegations, he was just a really eccentric dude In retrospect, I feel MJ was probably innocent because Hollywood has shown that you can diddle kids and absolutely get away with it if you have the money and connections, MJ just had brain problems and a poor concept of boundaries. If he was guilty he'd have done a better job covering it up.

bring back old gbs posted:Leo does prestige movies, and maybe they're banking on Oscar nominations, but literally anybody else in the world is as likely to win an oscar as DiCaprio. The guy has a terrible track record with that award. BiggerBoat posted:I doubt that's a huge concern for a stand alone film about the Joker. On the other hand, maybe there's a huge amount of internal pressure at WB to avoid making the first live action Joker film in decades that doesn't win an Oscar. (Batman 1989 won Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, The Dark Knight won Best Sound Editing and Best Supporting Actor for Ledger, Suicide Squad won Best Makeup/Hairstyling)

He was super psyched about BvS and thought it was great, and then devastated that people hated it. It's ok Ben, I liked it. And you know what Ben, I liked Paycheck. There's a bonus just from me

Best Affleck performance for my money: "No, no. You know what? I have no idea what I'm doing. I have no idea. This button-- I don't know what that does, okay? All I know is that we just crashed back there, I lost two of my friends, we're 25 miles from Harry's shuttle. We don't know if he's alive. We don't know if he can fly. All I know is, there's a beep on this thing and I'm trying to get us there."

He should also do that in films unrelated to the DCU that he stars in. Like just some scene is happening where he's offscreen where other characters are talking, you see Batfleck swing by just outside a window.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Michael Jackson would have been the best real life Willy Wonka. This has nothing to do with the allegations, he was just a really eccentric dude Unlike Prince? Prince basically WAS Willy Wonka only with music instead of chocolate. He even wore purple. Fans who toured Paisley Park (which looked like a factory from the outside) said he sometimes played "Pure Imagination" in the foyer. He once sold "3121" CD's with golden tickets in them to give away free trips to his concerts. gently caress...dude probably had an oompa loompa or two running around somewhere, his own crazy hallucinogenic boat on Lake Minnetonka. He made people sign non-disclosure forms constantly. He died in an elevator (admittedly not made of glass). Prince could semi act as well... Actually, no he couldn't, but if he just played himself and did some music I think the Wonka role would have really worked. No joke. Semi on topic because both Prince and Wonka had comic books and did movies. Also, gently caress Micheal Jackson. That would have sucked, especially surrounding him with kids in the wake of his trial. Thee creep factor would have been unbearable. Depp's portrayal actually reminded me and others of MJ and we saw how that turned out.

Al Borland Corp. posted:He was super psyched about BvS and thought it was great, and then devastated that people hated it. Part of his job as an actor in BvS was to help sell the movie. We really don't know how he feels about the movie or working with Snyder and WB or if he was devastated that people hated it. If he's not going to be in the Batman movie WB probably wouldn't want to release that info before JL comes out. My guess after JL comes out he's out officially.

Yeah, Live by Night. It was a huge flop that nobody saw and while he was desperately trying to promote it people just wanted to talk about The Batman. And then any time he seemed annoyed there would immediately be "Ben Affleck seems upset about The Batman movie" headlines and rumors that he had one foot out the door. It had to be an endless cycle of hell.
