like, they realized from the asm2 numbers that spidey's suffering some audience burn-out, but they still think movies about his supporting cast are going to get people MORE into regular spidey movies?

maybe they think sinister six sounds like fast five which sounds like a franchise re-energizer?

But the Fast series never needed a re-energizer, even the third one that didn't have the original stars made a crapton of money

Nhex, Monday, 18 August 2014 18:39 (eleven years ago)

I'm gonna start presuming that all comic book movies will be titled Venom Carnage from now on unless i'm explicitly told otherwise

go ahead. make vid where u rap about this new TMNT movie. (forksclovetofu), Monday, 18 August 2014 18:39 (eleven years ago)

In related news, did you hear about the John Carter spin-off Disney is working on called Martians?

fast five did twice as well as fast 4, you can play semantics but fast five did take things up a big notch

da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 18:41 (eleven years ago)

and asm2 still made a ton of money, it just didn't expand upon the market of the reboot like they hoped

da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 18:42 (eleven years ago)

some marvel origin stories are good! and i like that the screenwriters have an opportunity to take the bizarre/corny ones and present/form them better. with liberties.

but i can definitely see how the strange origin would be done with as little origin as possible.

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 18 August 2014 19:05 (eleven years ago)

er *strange movie

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Monday, 18 August 2014 19:05 (eleven years ago)

my.. hands.. my.. HANDS *falls to his knees, gazes up into the starlit sky*

Nhex, Monday, 18 August 2014 19:09 (eleven years ago)

Yeah, Strange's is definitely one of the least necessary origin stories. In a way, our encroaching era of private space flights is a perfect time to zip right through an updated version of the FF's origin with a minimum of logistical finagling.

The Ape In The Outhouse (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 August 2014 19:44 (eleven years ago)

word is they're doing something different with the FF's origin anyway

Number None, Monday, 18 August 2014 19:45 (eleven years ago)

So they're going to be alien ninja turtles, then.

The Ape In The Outhouse (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 August 2014 19:50 (eleven years ago)

Did they actually go ahead with that?

Nhex, Monday, 18 August 2014 20:08 (eleven years ago)

Nah, they eventually realized that Bay's involvement was enough of a slap in the face for anyone who cared.

The Ape In The Outhouse (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 August 2014 20:12 (eleven years ago)

I would watch a Strange Hamm:

Pedro Pascal ftw

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 26 August 2014 07:27 (eleven years ago)

Nah, he's a bit too straighforwardly suave (though I've only seen him in GoT, so what do I know).

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Tuesday, 26 August 2014 13:11 (eleven years ago)

joaquin i guess

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Friday, 29 August 2014 01:18 (eleven years ago)

go ahead. make vid where u rap about this new TMNT movie. (forksclovetofu), Friday, 29 August 2014 04:24 (eleven years ago)

Think I would've preferred Huston, but sure he'll do a fine job.

I was being serious

BRAAAAAAMETHEUS (El Tomboto), Thursday, 23 October 2014 02:15 (eleven years ago)

Sorry, Tombot, I believe you -- I just thought it was funny that forks judo-threw himself and that was the first thing that came to mind.

Pict in a blanket (WilliamC), Thursday, 23 October 2014 15:27 (eleven years ago)

Cumerbatch as Strange?

― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 25 July 2014 13:47 (3 months ago)

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 03:11 (eleven years ago)

Hey, at least it wasn't Jared Leto

Nhex, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 04:44 (eleven years ago)

indeed, could have been worse

Dokken played here for a Ribfest and people were total assholes (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 28 October 2014 04:55 (eleven years ago)

indeed there is literally one human being alive who would be worse for the part i guess i should be thankful

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 28 October 2014 06:38 (eleven years ago)

god i'm gonna have to look at his alien face all throughout avengers 5 aren't i

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Tuesday, 28 October 2014 06:39 (eleven years ago)

What's wrong with Cumberbatch?

Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 14:50 (eleven years ago)

a bunch of ppl here just hate him for some reason

Nhex, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 14:55 (eleven years ago)

he's a UK celebrity that americans know about

Mordy, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 14:56 (eleven years ago)

He makes blockbuster films easier to watch for me. Loved the faces he made in Star Trek.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 15:22 (eleven years ago)

I don't have a beef with him, but there is a bit of overexposure. I think if anything he's a bit too on-the-nose as it were. Of all the marvel flicks this is the one I'm most interested in because it has the potential to be a bit different, so the writer/director stands to be more of a dealbreaker than the star.

Dokken played here for a Ribfest and people were total assholes (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:18 (eleven years ago)

you know they've already chosen the writer and director, right?

Number None, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:28 (eleven years ago)

can't wait to see what the director of beloved keanu reeves vehicle the day 'the earth stood still' and the writer of widely-acclaimed jason momoa showcase 'conan the barbarian' will conjure up

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:33 (eleven years ago)

Writer: Lena Dunham
Director: Brett Ratner

kissaroo and Tyler, too (DJP), Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:33 (eleven years ago)

would watch

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:35 (eleven years ago)

It's just gonna be called Strange and the only "minority" on it will be a white guy playing Wong.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:36 (eleven years ago)

sigh

Nhex, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:37 (eleven years ago)

yeah i'm unenthusiastic about cumberbatch, but its the creative team that seems like the bigger hurdle to awesome

da croupier, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 16:37 (eleven years ago)

Jon Spaits, of pre-Lindelof Prometheus "fame", is actually doing the script now
