Snowglobe of Doom posted:Remakes/sequels/adaptations that could go either way: Last I read, Bad Boys for Life is tracking for a $45-ish million opening, and it's relatively low-budget (I think $85-90 million), so it will probably do relatively well.

Chairman Capone posted:Apparently the plot of Dr. Dolittle is that he has to get a magic potion from the dragon in order to cure Queen Victoria from some mystery illness. Also Victoria is played by an Irish actress, haha. And this is what happens when you have the guy who wrote and directed Syriana write a Dr. Dolittle movie.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:Well, the second season was terrible, for one thing. It was actually really very good, but it definitely hit a few bad lows in terms of quality here and there. The reason it got canceled by BBC America was that absolutely no one in the world was watching it, which was somehow a step down from the first season, which merely no one was watching.

Remulak posted:Lasseter was a GREAT story editor with the clout to make things happen or not happen. He could demand the creatives make changes or make The Board eat it and kill/suspend/redo a project after burning tons of dough. Yeah, I think this is a big part of Pixar's slide into mediocrity. Lasseter absolutely had his blind spots (see his absurd love of the Cars franchise, for example), but he has a brilliant creative mind and a sixth sense for knowing what works and what doesn't. Don't get me wrong, he is a creepy-rear end son of a bitch and he has no place working in Hollywood and gently caress Skydance for hiring him, but we're now seeing post-Lasseter Disney Animation and Pixar output and the studios are very clearly still looking for a firm hand at the rudder.

She's got her Oscar, she's done the big blockbuster movies, she lives on the Upper West Side in New York and she's married to an ultra-rich businessman. So I imagine she works on projects she finds interesting.

Grendels Dad posted:Yeah that's my bad, I used IC because I thought Virgin Birth was the one about Mary specifically. Jesus Christ was the virgin birth. Mary (whose lineage is never explicitly discussed in the Bible) has traditionally been considered, at least in Catholicism, to have been conceived and born without original sin (the concept of which was heavily driven by St. Augustine, who believed that original sin is inherent due to your parents having sex), and that's the Immaculate Conception. Oddly, the concept of the Immaculate Conception was never part of strict Catholic dogma until Pope Pius IX issued Ineffabilis Deus in the 1850s or so, which codified it and caused considerable strife between the Vatican and various Catholic sects, in large part because there is nothing in any translation of the Bible which explicitly supports it. I believe the Greek Orthodox Church still rejects it, in fact. Okay, lessons from a childhood of Catholic education over. Timby fucked around with this message at 18:54 on May 12, 2020 |

FoneBone posted:it was probably a stipulation by the show's producers to mitigate the impact on live performances. That's precisely what it is. Hamilton is still sold-out every drat night both on Broadway and in its touring performances (well ... it was, anyway), and for that and other shows, theaters have strict policies against recording performances. It has to do with an agreement with the Coalition of Broadway Unions and Guilds.

As Cave told the story to me, Russell Crowe called him up and asked him to write it just for kicks, knowing the movie would never be made, and therefore told him not to hold back and make it as absurd as he wanted. Nick called it one of the great accomplishments of his career.

Vince MechMahon posted:The second movie is the most obvious one with this but yes. Every time Milla is not on screen on those movies you're supposed to ask where Milla is, then she shows up every time another character fails at something and succeeds. This is why the entire running joke about those movies is it's just Anderson getting the studio to make big budget jerk off material for himself, about his wife. She's hyper-competent, never fails, always gets to do the big cool thing that saves the day, and dresses sexy while doing it. Anderson directed the entire series with one hand under the table. Funny you bring up the second one, because that's one of the two that Anderson didn't direct.

He also played Robert Harley and Nikola Tesla. I believe he was also considered for the Turing role in The Imitation Game before it went to Cumberbatch. Dude really loves doing biopics for some reason.
