He put a Instagram that cost Dr. Dre a billion dollars by almost blowing up the Beats/Apple merger.

I think Vin Diesel has kidnapped Tyrese family, and stopping the Rock spin-off is the only way to get them back.

Honestly without Paul Walker to balance out Vin Diesel anymore it's kind of time for old crew to move on and bring in the Hobbs/Shaw Fast and Furious.

I really liked that Vin Diesel arranged to have this big dramatic arc in Fate of the Furious and the only thing people talked about afterwards was the Rock/Statham prison brawl.

Vin's arc in F8 was supposed to be serious? It was like daytime soap opera but with bigger budget and some good stunts and scene chewing. I liked it because of that thoughIron Crowned posted:Star Wars was more than just a blockbuster though, it was a cultural touchstone because of what it did for cinema as a whole, and looking at the box office numbers alone misses why it had such impact. Star wars had lines around the block to get into theaters. Nothing has been that popular since. Of course, distribution is different now too. got any sevens fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Sep 13, 2017 |

I was musing on how digital has changed the way movies are made, and came to the conclusion that there just isn't a hype machine for movies anymore because you can go from Pre-Production to Blu-Ray in under a year now.

I remember when if you didn't go see a movie when it was in theaters, you had to wait at least 9 months to rent it at the local video store. It tripped me out to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in stores a couple weeks ago.

Directed by Joe Wright, the Peter Pan prequel of sorts came out in 2015. Edit: Is there a list of Black List scripts that ended up getting made? I wonder what good:bad ratio on those would be.

There's a doc n HBO that goes more into it, but with Apple leary of publicity it knocked down the asking price of the Iovine/Dre team considerably. e: Tyrese comes off as a huge idiot in the vid btw

It's a bit more than that, at least on the PC end. HP used to sell the brand in their laptops and the sound was pretty good for a laptop, but apparently they can no longer update them because of the Apple deal and HP is a bunch of cheap dicks. On the last Windows 10 update, it broke the Beats sound processor (or more likely the drivers disabled the connections to the subwoofers) and now everything sound tinny like a regular laptop speaker. I'm now stick with doing a restore to Windows 7 or keep trucking, hoping there's a slim hope that Microsoft will restore functionality to those drivers.

Here's a proof-of-concept for Apocalypse Now Now, an hopeful film project based on the South African fantasy novel of the same name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xIHVrTc0ps Short of the Week posted:“Snarky, monster-porn-dealing teen, Baxter Zevcenko, might be a serial killer. His girlfriend, Esme, is missing, and he’s the prime suspect. To clear his name, he’ll turn to Cape Town’s grizzliest, drunkest bounty hunter, Jackson ‘Jackie’ Ronin. Little does he know that Ronin is a supernatural bounty-hunter, and that he’s about to be dragged headlong into a deep, dark Cape Town underbelly full of monsters and myth, shadowy government forces, bloodthirsty crow-men and a conspiracy across time and space.” More info, here.

The guy who directed IT was supposed to be doing it next but there's no way that the studio isn't fast tracking "Chapter 2" especially with his announced plans to continue using the kid actors for flashback scenes.

Wait, what? A horror director seems like a really odd choice for a giant robot war movie, I would have guessed they'd be trying to court Blomkamp or del Toro or Nolan.

I doubt Nolan would do it and neither Blomkamp nor del Toro have amazing box office records. It had the largest opening weekend for a rated R horror movie ever, and the second largest opening for any R rated film.

Robotech just seems incredibly outside Muschietti's lane, is all. I guess it'll be a test of how much range he has as a director.

When people say "Robotech" do they mean just Macross, or the weird incomprehensible mashup of three completely different but similar looking shows that comprised the Robotech series in the US?
