Yes, I imagine Jeffrey Jones would be much more terrifying if you were a child.

When I was 12 the Naked Gun and Police Squad episodes were the funniest poo poo I'd seen in my life.

I like that the filmmakers literally sat down and decided exactly how many people it was justifiable to kill over a puppy.

Tom Cruise has stated that Top Gun 2 is absolutely happening.

"It's true, yeah it's true," he said while beaming from ear-to-ear. "You know what? I'm going to start filming it probably in the next year. I know, it's happening, it is definitely happening."

Speaking of, US Marshals was on TV this weekend. It's still such an odd choice for a sequel. I mean, I'll watch anything with Wesley Snipes in it and seeing Tommy Lee Jones in a chicken suit is great, but it's hard to watch it without thinking "why does this even exist?"

How can anyone possibly think Marvel promotes young and upcoming talent?
Like, goddamn, guess Robert Downey Jr., Paul Rudd, all the Chrises just popped into being a few years ago.

I genuinely like that Hugh Jackman movie. It's basically live-action Castlevania but even dumber.

Like, so is John Wick 1's, but there's an emotional core. Dude loses his girlfriend, she left him a dog to cope with his loss, some crooks kill the dog, he goes on a murder spree. There's an emotional core to the film of a deranged ex-hitman getting revenge. Chapter 2 is... they blew up his house because he doesn't wanna be a murder-man anymore. Like, the joke is gone now, and they never came up with a new one to justify the next film, and expected to play it straight through this one... which really doesn't work.

Movie - production budget, worldwide gross

MoS - 225m, 670m
BvS - 250m, 875m
ASM - 230m, 760m
ASM2 - estimated ~250m, 710m

Marketing is not included in the budgets and can easily go into additional hundreds of millions on these huge projects.

I think it came out in the Sony leaks that executives were shooting for 1 billion on ASM2 but lord knows what kind of calculations these people do to model the whims of capricious nerds. Really any of the accounting that goes into a half billion dollar entertainment project boggles the mind and I imagine on a certain level the people financing these things know that they're ultimately gambling.

Honestly, Justice League basically made me leave the theater thinking it was "average".

The actual real fun of the movie is finding where the re-shoots were, because hoooo boy does this give Fantastic Four a run for it's money in the really obvious re-shoots department. The "Contractually Obligated Mustache of Henry Cavil" (I still believe this should be a horror book title or something) allows you to easily see which Superman scenes were re-shoots (all but one of them, Christ), and there are some really jarring shifts in scenes where suddenly the camera changes places and all of a sudden characters are throwing snarky comedy-lines before it shifts back to the original camera location and you realize you just saw a Whedon add-on in the middle of a Synder scene. If you look at the trailers from before Whedon came on you can then compare that to the movie and see that he shifted a lot of night scenes to the day, either by color shifting or flat out reshooting the scenes. The color shifts also lead to weird poo poo were the costumes look really off because Synder meant them to be shot and blocked a certain dark, gloomy way and they look fake in full daylight Whedon-vision.
EDIT: In fact, after you watch this movie, go watch all the trailers again and be amazed at how few of those scenes are in this movie.

From the DCEU reddit. This is a cherry picked comparison obviously, but someone pointed out that they didn't include Bruce's widow's peak in the reshoots and now I can't unsee it.

Doubtful, considering Paramount has like three other Transformers movies beyond Bumblebee in various stages of development and there will always be some executive somewhere thinking they've got the secret to the Marvel machine formula.
