Just a reminder that Cassandra Cain (the Asian girl in the poster) is supposed to be a highly trained martial arts assassin who can go toe to toe with Batman. I am sure everyone figured that out from the posters.

The Wikipedia has this plot synopsis

quote:

Since the events of Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn has left the Joker. When Roman Sionis aka Black Mask, a narcissistic crime lord, places a hit on a young girl named Cassandra Cain, Gotham City turns upside down looking for her. Harley joins forces with Black Canary, Huntress, and Renee Montoya to protect the girl and to take Sionis down.

So I assumed that was going to be the twist. Those four team up to save the helpless little girl(each with their own secret motivations of course), and then twist, she's Cassandra loving Cain, and then they aren't trying to save her so much as trying to manage a mute super murderer.

But then I watched the trailer and clearly that's not what happens. So I'm back to having no idea what the movie is about and now also wondering why they called that character Cassandra Cain

The trailer looks pretty serious.

It would also fit in with the politics of both movies.

"Finn wolf hard" sounds like something you shouldn't search for on Reddit without the NSFW filter on, lest you get some really disturbing Adventure Time fan art

I can't speak for anyone else, but It and Stranger Things are both aggressively marketed in my area. The way the release/ad campaigns have synced up, it means I've gotten a lot of Finn Wolfhard over the last three years.

Honestly, if he did comedy, he could probably fill the Michael Cera niche really well. Kid's got loving amazing comic timing in the first IT movie.

Then the movie would be pasted up as another Ghostbusters 2016 and it would land like a bag of cold sick.

Mustached5thGrader, did you ever see the trailer for the original Ghostbusters? There were drat few jokes in it.

Sony is playing it safe by removing female ghosbusters, comedy, and of course ghosts to ensure a Fresh score on RT and box office success.

I'd assume that trailer is very limited in what it shows. I get a 'nothing past the first half hour of pre-plot setup' vibe from it.

Like, I can picture them squeezing some kind of humor out of the premise but I'm certainly not expecting Harold Ramis and Bill Murray in their prime levels of comedy. But then who could top or even match that?

I'm not sure you can squeeze anything out of Harold Ramis at this point.

There is no way them racing the Ecto-1 around shooting stuff is in the first half hour of a movie that's going to take multiple scenes to get through finding and explaining what a ghost trap is.

You can easily have them at that point (screwing around, not being successful) near the end of act 1.

30-45 minutes sounds pretty reasonable.

You can do anything; it's a movie. But they pretty obviously won't because they want to savor every tiny reveal and thirty minutes isn't enough time if you're going to do that.

Yeah, the way it was showing them blowing up more of the town then a ghost made it look like the inevitable first-try screwup when the kids take it out on their own before the big returning stars arrive in town.

While that's kind of goofy its not like they try to hide the height difference in the movie. Unlike say, anything with Tom Cruise.

Not a vanity move though, since it's a role based on an actual person.

Its weird that they did that because he doesn't really come across as this huge tall guy in the movie, Ray Romano is still taller than him in their scenes together.

He's just wearing a long coat, he'd probably look normal if it was shorter.

I'm confused why they bothered putting De Niro in lifts in the first place. Yeah, I know the real guy was taller but who cares? It's not like Sheeran was such a well-known public figure to the point where people would be taken out of the movie if he wasn't the right height. But I guess they did it for the same reason they gave him blue eyes.
