This is on the same level as Christopher Reeves accident as far as an actor leaving an impossible role to fill goes. He was instantly iconic. If he was doing the work he was with stage 3 cancer, I can't imagine how good he would have been healthy, either. loving tragic.

Aphrodite posted:She was talking about playing a trans man in that one, not GitS. I think she eventually dropped out of that movie. She didn't specify which movie she was talking about, so I think she was referring to both. Her full comment about it being political correctness gone wild is the part that basically makes me hope she's in a horrible wheat thresher incident and has to retire and I never have to see her in anything again.

Karloff posted:I've seen many films prior to release, and it is extremely rare to have complete vfx six months before - as in, I've never seen it ever. I understand JL had a different kind of production, but I am very suprised to hear that it was mostly complete. The VFX are what wasn't done. That means he was most likely already at picture lock though. Which I'm surprised about because it contradicts all the talk of it being an assembly cut before.

Arist posted:"Picture lock" is an extremely nebulous term even within the industry. JL was apparently at picture lock, but all that means is that there was some informal non-binding agreement somewhere that "okay, we'll stop loving with the edits now" that probably got violated anyway. Yeah I'm using it as a way of saying "they knew mostly what takes they were using at least, so the VFX guys could have maybe started but who knows if they did."

If they do Phoenix in the MCU you do at least one X-Men movie before it actually shows up, but you build the force itself with post credit stuff in other movies. Then you need to have Jean as the regular rear end Phoenix for at least one movie. I would say two core X-Men movies then have her show up in at least one or two other crossover things too. Then you can turn her dark and have her be the main villain of the first big X-Men/Avengers crossover.

In the comic he has flaws and makes mistakes, but he's aware of that and tries to be nettet. He's not the randian superman who's always in the right. I think a lot of people conflate the Question with the Mr. A stuff Ditko did later.

That was 70 years ago. This is what was wrong with the Raimi movies. They're insistent on following a tone that doesn't work if it's not 1965. What an outsider today is differs from what an outsider was then.

The way she's written makes so much more sense when you realize the purpose of literally every female character is to be an obstacle to Spider-man. If he had the balls to set it in the sixties the movies would have been much better.

I'm fine with never going to a theater again honestly, so we've got a disconnect on how much we value the giant rip off auditorium full of the worst of humanity, I guess. E: I may have feelings on theaters lingering from working at one but honestly they're just sticky, dirty boxes full of people who can't shut up, are jerking off, or both.

STAC Goat posted:But that seems like the fundamental reason why I don't think the industry is gonna die. The replacement isn't sufficient. So even if the pandemic keeps going, the companies die out, and the theaters go cold they're still standing there and there's still a way to use them to make a ton of money and a reason for the studios to want to keep making that money. The idea of the theater business being dead just doesn't seem realistic to me unless we just think the pandemic is never ending. In which case it seems kind of secondary because we shouldn't be going to the movies anyway.. The pandemic is never ending. At least in the United States. There are enough brain poisoned people that even if a vaccine hits, they won't take it, and it'll gently caress it up for everyone else.
