Ban them if they ever posts here.

Nah, do a mod challenge where they are banned unless they do a massive effort post about an upcoming release or a topic generally related to upcoming releases.

as long as we keep getting a steady supply of fantasy movies, i'll take some "hey what's up guys" as long as i get "greetings traveler, long hath i awaited thee" sometimes too

How about you get it in the same scene, and the first guy then says "Oh right, we're in the North now!"

Big surprise but the new Children of the Corn reboot is getting bad reviews. Apparently they added a weird revenge angle where the kids hate the adults because the adults killed a bunch of kids in a botched hostage situation. Also a muddled message about GMOs and government subsidies.

I am shocked to my very core...n.

I was nodding my head for the whole cast but this one is what's going to put my butt in the seat. Cena's been rocking the comedic brute role lately.

I hope he's not CGI, just plain Cena with a piece of paper rolled up and stuck on his nose.

Disney in general is falling into this trap where they feel obligated to announce poo poo well in advance to keep the hype going. Their follow-throughs become poorer and poorer but hey, at least you announced 15 new Star Wars properties and named three new superhero teams for Phase 7.

Renfield looks like fun, and I think the group therapy angle could be really interesting.

I think the trailer already spoilered that Dracula is going to come in and kills the group, so I dunno how big a role they play. Looks more like a one-scene gag to me.

Yeah, just because WB/DC is doing it doesn't mean it's actually a good idea. Which should be fairly screamingly obvious by now.

At this point it should not be a surprise if WB greenlighted another Fantastic Beasts movie with Depp and Miller, stunt coordinator: Alec Baldwin.

IIRC there was news about the actual stunt coordinator or weapons master leaving the set because production was so lovely, and the scene in question shouldn't have been shot without them there to check everything, but they did it anyway.

No. Instead, he will shoot someone and then we cut and zoom to a calendar with the day's date circled and GARBAGE DAY written on it.

He taps on the calendar while looking slightly to the left of the camera and waggling his eyebrows.

It's kinda wild how Tarantino can make someone cool again and then they waste that opportunity. Samuel L. Jackson grabbed onto that opportunity with both hands while Travolta and Myers choose...differently.

I'd have to look up if the timeline's right, but I think we got Face/off out of Travolta's PF revival.

Dwayne Johnson is pretty disappointing since I was legit happy and eager to see him in movies not made for children, like The Rundown and Fast Five. And then at some point he decided to just be Dwayne Johnson™, like he's preparing to be easily turned into an AI actor or something.

Basically the same career trajectory as Ryan Reynolds, really.

Nah, with Ryan Reynolds you at least get some sense of passion from him. It's apparently passion for being a gigantic child that has to have tea-bagging in every movie of his, but it's not nothing.

With The Rock, a cynical person could suspect that he chose to do Live Moana because he gets to talk aboutcultural heritage a lot. Cheap and critically unassailable publicity.
