It might almost be worth it to watch Tom cruise start praising dianetics only to get him played off to which he calls everyone jerks with more sincerity than a Meryl Streep performance.

I don't think Mega Man is particularly adaptable. Astro Boy, the closest analogue, was a complete flop. Their latest attempt at adaptation on Cartoon Network is really bad (judged as a kids show compared to other current kids shows). There was a cartoon future robot movie a few years back with like Elijah Wood... The Nine? That also flopped. I guess humanoid robots just kinda suck cinematically maybe?

Honestly, the way you make Mega Man is you eschew the actual games themselves and adapt the original box art. Cast John C. Reilly, put him in a football helmet and yellow and blue jumpsuit, and make him go fistfight a lumberjack robot. I’d watch that movie.

Latest Sony Spider-less-verse news: Silver & Black is completely scrapped, Silver Sable and Black Cat will now each get their own movies. A Silk movie is confirmed to be in early development A Jackpot movie is also confirmed to be in early development. I had to actually look up who that was, it is a character that debuted in 2007 and I guess her hook is she is a bit older than the usual super powered early 20s movies. Also don't forget Jared Leto as Morbius and the Kraven the Hunter movie, both of which also exist in some form Expect all of this to change many more times and also hinge spectacularly, amazingly, on the box office numbers of Venom https://variety.com/2018/film/news/whats-next-for-the-spider-man-universe-after-venom-exclusive-1202900203/

Except maybe Morbius? But even that seems like a stretch.

How much do you think Disney has offered Sony, in cash, for control of the Spidey rights? I am guessing at least 10 times the net profits they will wind up with after sinking millions of dollars and manhours into this "stand-alone" series built on secondary and tertiary characters most notable for being associated with Spider-Man. There is probably a post-it note somewhere in Amy Pascal's office that says "Can Doc Ock use arms to swing around NYC? Hero?"

Wheat Loaf posted:How about an Oscar for "Best Ensemble Cast" or something? I read an article about awards that should have been added instead of "Best Popular Film", and it noted that the only person named in the lead credits not able to win an Oscar for their work is the casting director, and they just had their own section of the Academy created, so my guess is that would be the next one (unless they're dumb and decide that adding more technical awards is a bad idea" Best Casting would be great.

Dr. Octopus replaced Peter Parker as Spider-Man for a time and in a few months seems like he's returning as a heroic Dr. Octopus.

Actually if they had Spider-Man do a Periscope where halfway through he had to bust a criminal and used deceptive camera work to make it look real that would be cool

Not great and especially not spectacularly successful, just OK. Moderately positive reception, it doesn't make a billion dollars but the people that do see it come away satisfied. People at Sony will sweat bullets, not knowing what to do.

Spidey being a social media star just seems very a-pro-pro for a modern teen version of the character.Sudbina posted:I hope all those Spider-less movies turn out good, but I don't trust Sony without any help from Marvel. They did just fine with Jumanji 2. Right now it seems the buzz for Venom is incredibly positive from the comments I’ve seen, namely that Sony created a ‘proper’ live action Venom. I think Sony would make Kraven or Morbius an antagonist in a Venom sequel if the first is successful.

LBJ would dictate letters to his secretary in his personal bathroom whilst taking shits. He also used to gross people out during golf by lifting up his shirt and showing them his appendectomy scar.
