https://t.co/mSGvJuYE15?amp=1 Here's a link to the request for arbitration for a public hearing the MJ estate sent out last week in response to this. Read all of it. Like the dude's story in the doc doesn't even match the one he told the courts. Then google master of deception Wade if to want to go down a YouTube hole.

It definitely looks way more promising than Aquamn, and as far as attempting to strike a middle-ground between Snyder's apocalypticism and generic feel good power fantasy, so far this is scanning as pretty effective. I like the last joke where he's so excited to have saved people that he completely forgets that he almost killed them.

But Velvet Buzzsaw was an actual Netflix original production and financing and all of their stuff has to be 4K/8K ready, so yeah it probably is that Elswit just isn't comfortable enough with the format and camera.

I think Shazam has the chance of being the best modern post-Nolan DC film. It's not taking itself seriously at all, which has been the biggest issue with DC's films so far.

Perry was by all accounts a nice guy to work with as well, and he was also a better actor than he was given credit for. Plus, he has the distinction of getting killed twice in OZ.

At the very least I give DC a bunch of credit for choosing the perfect character to attempt their full on light-hearted wish-fulfillment comedy. That said, with how hard they are clearly chasing the MCU style, it'll be pretty surprising if it is anything other than a super safe, by the numbers origin story without anything really interesting going on.

I mean, I don't think they're chasing the MCU style that hard, unless anything that's lighthearted and quippy and not lit like Saw is automatically Marvel. I think the director has been given enough freedom with this one that if it turns out a certain way that's probably what he actually wanted and not an edict to ape something else.

I think it's fairly obvious they're chasing the MCU because of the behind the scenes stuff that happened on their past several movies (like, bringing the director of the two previous Avengers movies in to "fix" Justice League is pretty self-explanatory) and then the color palette/tone trending toward more vibrant and light-hearted seems to align with that ongoing goal. Obviously mimicking certain things that have worked for Marvel doesn't mean they'll do everything Marvel does. And not that the Marvel stuff is bad, just that trying to ape something successful tends to create something that's like that thing but more watered down and redundant. My fear is that with their past failures they will play it too safe and we'll come up with something bland and just like other poo poo that's out there. But yeah, I hope you're right and they gave the director some freedom to do some interesting stuff.

Patton Oswalt, on today's Comedy Bang Bang, suggested that DC take Ben Schwartz's interest in playing Plastic Man seriously, as he's exactly the character for DC to use to capture the Deadpool audience while also being fun and unique in his own right. DC honestly needs to just hire Patton Oswalt as story consultant for the Universe, like how MCU used James Gunn to plan out their cosmic slate of films and how to approach the larger crossovers. Oswalt predicted the Suicide Squad film years before they attempted to make the movie, and had a really good pitch. The dude obviously wants good DC movies, and he seems enthusiastic about it as long as he doesn't have acting roles lined up that he's obligated to fulfill.

bushisms.txt posted:https://t.co/mSGvJuYE15?amp=1 I've pretty much resigned myself to accept the fact that I will never have any loving idea what happened with MJ and any kids. I firmly believe that the LA district attorney's office had a personal vendetta to go after him and that much of their cases and evidence over the years was loving shady as hell. But a request for arbitration is far, far far from anything remotely reliable as proof that the documentary is full of poo poo. Hell, the first allegation is a bunch of horseshit in both the heading and the first few paragraphs: quote:[A. Michael Jackson Was Proven Innocent There is no court in the history of this country that has ever "proven someone's innocence" and just because an attorney says he is willing to accept a different burden of proof doesn't actually change the burden of proof in a case, let alone having a not guilty verdict being anything remotely similar to a jury having "found" that an attorney's opening remarks were right. Again, there is serious shade to throw at all sides in this story, but a loving pleading is worthless in proving anything.

Joss Whedon was almost certainly brought in because of the success of his Avengers films, but the reason they brought in a second director at all wasn't to "fix" Justice League, but because Zack Snyder took a leave of absence after his daughter committed suicide. I very seriously doubt Whedon (or any other director) would have been involved at all if not for that.

Because the Wisdom of Solomon told him it was better if Green Lantern thought he was a pederast or something. Really hoping the movie doesn't go down that particular little comedic cul-de-sac.
