Daniela Melchior was really good in Suicide Squad so I'm happy to see her getting to star in another big film. Two big films. Aside from GotG3, she'll be in Fast and Furious 10. Meanwhile, I still hold out hope to see Lake Bell as live action Poison Ivy in maybe a Suicide Squad 3 or Peacemaker season 2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unSkdmpD_r0 Robert Patrick and John Cena already knew each other and his son is a huge Cena fan, which is why they had such chemistry in Peacemaker.

it's crazy watching Robert Patrick turn into an old man so thoroughly. look to compare to this littel baby terminator here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89vlecJUK-g my primary exposure to him from childhood is from the LucasArts game The Dig which I probably played at least 20 times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRNCCkdkMlQ&t=226s

Edward Mass posted:How could one forget "THEY'VE GOT A HOSTAGE - IT'S MY WIFE"? Some strong Troll 2 energy there. My "favorite" aspect of The Marine was the way that physics and probability worked differently in that world. Pretty much every location in the movie ended up on fire and exploding except for the barn meth lab - the one place which in our real world would be most likely to catch on fire and/or explode.

A funny thing about The Marine movie series is that they were originally going to have Randy Orton star in the third one because he actually was in the Marines. Until someone pointed out that maybe it wasn't a good look for it to star a guy who was dishonorably discharged.

Until someone pointed out that maybe it wasn't a good look for it to star a guy who was dishonorably discharged. There's a UK broadcaster named Pete Donaldson that relayed an anecdote about interviewing Randy on the radio. He made a crack about how Randy should hide in his grandmother's basement for some reason, which is supposedly something he did when he was AWOL. He said Randy sat in his chair staring him down with a blank look on his face during the entire commercial break.

I'm getting very concerned about the future of this show. The new owners of HBO are allegedly going to fold that content into Discovery Plus instead of the other way around. They are also stopping development on a lot of HBO Max's planned content. There was also the news today that they are shelving the mostly finished Batgirl movie and not releasing it at all instead of on HBO Max as planned.

Rewatching Patriot and it occurs to me how funny Chris Conrad would have been as Vigilante. Not to take anything away from Freddie Stroma, but that same unhinged energy from a dude in his fifties would have hit different.

Peacemaker is one of those shows I’ve convinced 10+ people I know to watch and almost to a person they loved it. I can’t imagine throwing away something that is so easily recommended and enjoyed even by people who are fed up with superhero media (or never engaged with it in the first place). The other recent one is Severance. They’re like top ten shows all time for me, one of them biting the dust this early would really bum me out.

It’s a baffling way of running a media company. I mean, it makes sense financially. Any property that can't make the write-off earnings in the mid-term is just a straight profit/loss plus to kill off since the investment cost is already sunk. If they put it on streaming it remains an asset and can't be written as a loss. It's some proper post-merger bullshit that wouldn't have been possible without it though.
