Also people are arguing that it is actually Alicia Vikander's neck in that poster and I am now a bully who body shames her because a poster looks photoshopped.
There's some cringeworthy stuffnin there but for the most part it captures the action and aesthetic of the new games.

The "Academy Award Winner" title gave me a Catwoman vibe. Granted it doesn't look *that* bad but it's still far from good.

She doesn't have the number of flops under her belt that Halle has so I'm trying to stay positive.

Neither did Halle at that point did she? All I can really think of is the horror movie she did and the last Brosnan James Bond which was a flop critically but did find at the box office.

The Flintstones, B*A*P*S, Swordfish, Die Another Day, Gothika. The space between her Academy Award and the point that her career really started going down hill, Catwoman, isn't very long.

They are two very different movies, Alien is a horror movie and Aliens is an action movie. It's not that SMG to think someone would prefer one genre to another.

I also think Alien is better.

Alien has Harry Dean Stanton while Aliens has Bill Paxton, so in fact they are both perfect in every way.

No, she wasn't in the one with Stephen Baldwin. I was thinking more along the lines of critical flops rather than financial too. I always confuse Gothika with that Angelina Jolie movie where she's an FBI profiler who gets her ideas from lying in the bottoms of graves. Vikander will be a much better Lara Croft than Jolie. That I'm certain of.

Cameron was on record saying he didn't think Wonder Woman was a properly feminist or inspiring film for women, or something to the effect that it doesnt accomplish a vision of female empowerment equivalent to the praise it was getting

Jenkins very politely told him to stuff it since he wasnt a woman.

So since Cameron is an incredibly petty dick, he's probably thinking he'll relaunch Terminator (which at its heart aside from being a Terror of Japanese Industry 80s flick is also a movie about a woman surviving an embodiment of male rage as a stalker as all good slasher films wind up being), only he'll include Old Sarah as an empowered Woman and then do a multigenerational exploration of Female Agency. One his revenue surpasses WW's, he can crow about how his film did it right and didnt have to cast a statuesque model to it.

I heard Tom loving Arnold telling the story about him being cast for True Lies, and how Roseanne tried to block it by threatening the studio but Cameron told the execs he'd walk if they blocked him. He said it like "he felt that strongly about me being in his movie" but it's almost definitely like "James Cameron doesn't like being told what to do and decided to get into a pissing match about it because he's petty and vindictive."

Swordfish was kind of a flop, wasn't it? It came out just after 9/11 which was not a great time to have a movie in theaters, especially with explosions in it.

I don't have a high opinion of Cameron but apparently no o e could stand working with Roseanne by the end of the show. I'm surprised it's getting a revival.

I read that Darlene was basically her stand-in for a lot of issues she experienced growing up, so probably a lot of unresolved issues stemming from that.

It probably didnt help that her quaint sitcom about an authentic struggling almost-middle class family made her mega rich.

John Goodman had the best trajectory. He's Been Working since the show and has had a good few years recently (from being on SNL regularly to 10 Cloverfield Lane and whatnot).

Johnny Galecki, Darlene's boyfriend, popped up again thanks to the Big Bang Theory and he's pretty much set for life thanks to that. BBT also had guest spots for Laurie Metcalf and Sarah Gilbert.

Chalke snagged a spot on Scrubs and did OK for herself popping up in How I Met Your Mother and now on Rick and Morty.

Martin Mull is a character actor so he's in a bunch of random stuff (Danny Phantom?!).
