Can’t just like or not like something. I'm the one who posted the video and 1) They actually gave the film a very positive review 2) The RLM guys are on for like 5 seconds, the meat is a clip from the movie.

Even if that was a passive aggressive speech from the director in plain sight, it made sense. Infinity War and Endgame went really badly for Quill and he was already sort of a passive aggressive little poo poo before, all petulant that Gamora is doing guns now, etc.

I can't see Gunn being *that* mad, given that Volume 3 demonstrated that Endgame and Infinity war produced lots of interesting hooks that let him do fun stuff with these characters.

Would this mean every animated and video game version of Ironman would be doing a bad Clive Owen impression instead of a bad RDJ one?

I like Clive Owen a lot, but RDJ was just perfect casting and owns the role completely. Owen's still on my shortlist for Doom though

I can’t express how much I *like* Clive Owen, while simultaneously respecting the truth that he’s a mostly… “okay” actor, who would have been a loving awful Tony Stark.

I see Owen's Stark like his John Thackery, an eccentrically brilliant rear end in a top hat.

Clive Owen is great and has done some cracking stuff but I can't picture him as Tony Stark at all. That said, I'm certainly wondering now what might have been, I can't help but think it might have been a better thing for the character of Tony Stark overall.

Gotta love the alternate dimension where we get that, Ed Norton stays on as Hulk, Terrence Howard Rhodey, Glenn Howerton Star-Lord... actually that last one is the only one I'd prefer, but still.

I feel like Howerton would have been way too much of a dick. Pratt was obviously chosen because he had already proven he could do the dim witted heart of gold doofus over a full on jerk.

Arist posted:Howard brought nothing to the character for me, Cheadle was at least fun I think there's a warmth to Howard's Rhodey. He played the character's relief when he found Tony very well. I imagine that he would've played the fight in 2 with more heartbreak. Cheadle played it like an exasperated babysitter.

I mean, the attitude you're describing is real, but I appreciated it because Cheadle felt more like an actual peer to Tony

"Exasperated babysitter" works very well with RDJ's Tony.

Catching up on MCU stuff: did they just Green Screen Quill into scenes for the xmas spexoal? Feels like Pratt was checked out (and really bronzed for some reason).

live with fruit posted:I actually prefer Howard's Rhodey. Cheadle plays him like he hates Tony. Cheadle plays him as a good friend who is exasperated that his friend is making his job and life way harder than it needs to be. Which is pretty much on point. I don't know if this was a script thing or a Cheadle thing, but Cheadle also kind of rolls his eyes and plays it much more sarcastically when other people are kissing Stark's rear end, like he knows who he really is and has seen him gently caress up so many times that the rear end-kissing is ridiculous. Iron Man 1 basically had no script and Howard was doing his own thing, so it's not really clear if that is intentional or not. But, it is a nice bit of characterization that Cheadle does.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Iron Man 1 basically had no script and Howard was doing his own thing The "Iron Man had no script and was basically improv" story is from one throwaway line from one interview that Jeff Bridges gave. It absolutely had a script, and I'd say about 95 percent of it made it onto the screen, based on my memory of the last time I read it. The actors were given range to riff on their lines, but there was a script. A $140 million effects-heavy movie (a movie that was literally Marvel's moon shot; it's likely they would have had to declare bankruptcy if it didn't perform) does not get made without a script.

The actors were given range to riff on their lines, but there was a script. Yeah, I wasn't being literal. But, Jeff Bridges and Jon Favreau both said that they were working on the script as they were shooting. They apparently scrapped the original script right after they started filming and were re-writing and ad-libbing large portions of the movie because they were working on the script as they were filming and had a tight budget and timeline. Marvel had basically put the entire company up as leverage for a $300 million loan from Goldman Sachs to go all in on the movie studio to try and avoid bankruptcy.

According to Mike Mignola the new Hellboy movie has finished principal photography. This one is an adaptation of The Crooked Man story with Mignola actually working on the script.

Actually gently caress it, for once I won't roll my eyes at a fully CGI main character if that means Ron voices him

SlimGoodbody posted:Has Hellboy been cast? Who's playing him? Some guy named Jack Kesy. It’s being directed by the guy who co-directed the Crank movies and solo directed the surprisingly decent Nic Cage movie Mom & Dad, but everything about it seems like it’s being made as cheaply as possible and I’m sure it’ll be forgettable at best. Mignola’s been talking it up a bit, but Mignola also has a real grudge against the previous live-action adaptations, so

Maybe it'll be like Punisher: War Zone where it's made so cheaply, but with a ton of fun, so it evens out into a decent film.
