Why exactly did they recast all the Dragon Tattoo characters? Because it worked so well for the Terminator series?

i would enjoy greatly if more superhero movies went away from handsome men basically playing themselves as superheroes (see: RDJ, Chris Pratt, The Chris Collective) and more into good actors acting their loving asses off (see: Tom Hardy, James McAvoy)

RDJ might just be playing himself but he's also acting his rear end off (at least in the movies in which he's the front and center star).

You know Disney used to be really good about making everyone care about their old and new movies both. When I was a child I certainly didn't care that Alice in Wonderland was from the loving 50s. I don't know that a remake of it would have excited me back then but impossible to tell I guess.

It's funny that when Disney first started digging up the corpses of their old properties, they at least tried to do something different with them. Burton's Alice was a sequel of sorts and Maleficent was a retelling. Then they realized that they didn't need to put in so much work.

Remember when Jon Favreau made a movie about not wanting to be a soulless sellout, and then followed it up with Jungle Book and Lion King remakes and a Star Wars show?

Fallout is probably the best entry but Ghost Protocol should be the series' representative in the Hall of Fame for being the movie that "fixed" the franchise.

Yeah I saw it pop up and was going to post it here but it really does give a poo poo load away. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole movie and very end scenes was spoiled in it.

Definitely seems like they show things from the last two minutes or so of the movie. And that cameo probably would've been a nice surprise in the theater. Which makes me think the movie sucks? Why else would they have to ruin their own movie like that?

Talk about Predator vs Dredd just makes me sad that the Dredd vs Judge Death sequel that Alex Garland wanted to make will never happen.

Which is weird? Garland's become a name-above-the-title director and Urban's stock is up with The Boys. Surely Garland could find the money for it if he tried.

Haven’t seen the movie but in the 127 hours book he definitely spills some ink calling himself an idiot for not having left word of where he would be. For him I think it’s just that he was out doing backcountry poo poo like every weekend so he just slowly got in the habit of treating it casually.

The very last line of 127 Hours is something like "He always tells people where he is going now."

Do the Addams kill regular people? The bad guys in the 90s movies died but violence against others was played off like a joke. We even see the rich girl in Values again after Wednesday apparently sets her on fire.

Michael Bay using a drone camera should've been a lot better. Hopefully this was like a test run for his next movie because as is Fleishman Is In Trouble has made better use of drone cameras.

I can admit I'm wrong because apparently whatever he's doing is still attracting talent (and on a repeated basis), but as other people have stated before and after this post, he seems to just flatten all of his characters in a way that I feel like would be boring for actors.

Seems like being in an Anderson movie is like taking an acting workshop where you have to do a specific exercise.
