Captain Marvel (2019), dir. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck

they did a quick week in January so they were within the time restrictions of a tax break, then filmed in one location during march

annette bening IS beta ray bill

I might've gone a little more in the direction of a Diane Keaton as Bill, but I can accept it.

beta ray barbra imo

EW finally has some exclusive first look images: https://ew.com/movies/captain-marvel-first-look-images/

lol yung SLJ

The film also introduces Lashana Lynch as Maria Rambeau, one of Carol’s oldest friends. She’s a top-notch Air Force pilot with the call sign “Photon,” and she’s also a single mother to a young daughter.

xp they should've made him look like Mister Senor Love Daddy

And there are FUCKING SKRULLS MOTHERFUCKERS

I couldn't find a pic that showed the haemovore makeup clearly AND had them coming out of the water, but the tunics and skin colour are pretty close

Higher. Further. Faster. Watch the trailer for Marvel Studios’ @CaptainMarvel in theaters March 8, 2019. #CaptainMarvel pic.twitter.com/a7KsE8f7Y3

I'm in just for Young Coulson and Carol Danvers punching an old lady in the face.

tonally kind of weird for a Marvel trailer. No jokes!

(unless you count punching the old lady)

looks cool!

man, marvel's de-aging tech is getting really good huh

Rather.

I’m impressed how they transformed an actor in skrull makeup into that old lady

Chewie more or less confirmed

Pssh, have fun with your children's movie which is for infants and toddlers (ie, you, who are a baby).

(I'm just mad because I forgot to watch this before my work-instituted YouTube blackout began.)

i am a screeching hog and i demand my slop

This little piggy needs his Marvel.

FYI for those interested, we will almost certainly get a leak tomorrow morning of the new Avengers title (I'm banking on Avengers: What The..?. myself) prior to the trailer release, as the tie-in prequel comic is also dropping tomorrow.

It must be so hard to act in these sorts of movies, with rubber suits on and dots on a soundstage in front of a screen, etc.. As an actor, you just have no idea until you see it all put together. You're saying the dumbest stuff and then going pew pew with your fingers and you just have to trust that when the CG magic and music and other stuff kicks in it'll look cool. You'd think that's a lot of pressure on both actor *and* director, but after decades of this they seem to have the rhythm down. Still, it's a miracle it works as often as it does.

this one is a documentary iirc, no cg required

xp I mean . . . Fay Wray didn't have a giant gorilla on set, you know?

all other films do have orchestras off-camera playing the score live though

I never cottoned to improv because a scene partner would pretend he was handing me something and I would just be all like, what are you even doing with your clearly-empty hands right now, you look so stupid.

more of a 'yes... and?' kinda guy huh

Obviously acting is playing pretend, but it's a relatively recent phenomenon to have characters defined by CG embellishments. I would love to see a Brechtian superhero movie, with superheroes literally going through the motions but with no effects, just pointing their fingers intensely at invisible enemies.

so basically Dogville with superpowers

xpost An entirely improvised movie with invisible sets and costumes and props could be funny too. (If it were funny.) Or exhausting.

Yeah, Dogville with superpowers.

Just long stretches of people reacting in awe to nothing, then defending themselves by wiggling their fingers with a serious look on their face.

captain marville

I would love to see a Brechtian superhero movie, with superheroes literally going through the motions but with no effects, just pointing their fingers intensely at invisible enemies.

Why not just film a bunch of kids playing superheroes in a schoolyard? Same effect.

they generally are not oscar-winning actors. I guess the obvious follow-up question is, would oscar-winning actors play pretend superhero in their backyards any better than kids?

Playing a superhero should automatically disqualify you from future Oscar nomination.

And if you won the Oscar first, they should take it away.

Oh my god, right? You're so right. Oh my god.

Just imagine, the prestige of the Academy Awards being tarnished so.

When I saw that (totally average) Ant-man sequel with Michelle Pfeiffer, then Annette Bening in this trailer, not to mention Jude Law, or youthified Sam Jackson, or Michael Douglas, it occurred to me that within a few years virtually every actor of note or otherwise will have been in a superhero movie. God knows, they might all end up in the same superhero movie at once. Someone should devise a predictive mathematical formula that will lead us to the superhero singularity.

They should do an epic green screen Oscars ceremony with space fights and lasers and stuff.

they already do that at the golden globes iirc

Every penny of that Hollywood Foreign Press money is on the screen.

i would legit be into watching some bonus disc of one of these movies that is the same full-length cut but with no cgi. backgrounds trailing off into green scene, some props real some props fake, half the cast in tennis balls, etc. it's sorta boring to watch that stuff as behind the scenes footage from some camera off to the side but that'd be cool. otherwise this discussion seems a little silly - like there's something sacrosanct abt the oscars and like there's something tawdry abt being in genre films. actors like acting, sometimes they like to get big paychecks for letting their hair down with some kids' stuff or some juicy silly villain part, same as when british shakespearean types show up in a muppet reimagining of a classic children's tale, or a christ-mas pantomime or w/e they do over there.

With only the grumpy aging gen-Xers as the holdouts (i.e. Ethan Hawke).

i hope she gets to continue being a person out of time, like a captain america who got frozen in the early 90s and is struggling with the idea of pearl jam being played on classic rock stations.

back in the late 90s in my high school comics i had this running idea of a lost predecessor high school that got sealed away in the depths back in 1991. even back then that era seemed super removed (tho of course this has a lot to do with being 18) so there could be a lot of comedy there. as a superhero she has this dope costume, by day she's wearing hypercolor looney tunes jerseys or w/e. but that would require more commitment to the idea of period style than we saw in this movie, which doesn't even bother to give the extras 90s haircuts. the "grunge outfit" gag barely even registered.

this was good, plot predictably ludicrous but all the main turns were slick, larsen in particular is a superstar, hashtagging didnt over intrude, 8/10

saw this at a drive-in on a double feature with the Avengers flick

Mendo was pretty good

mendo is never not good

Cosi was a bit of a wank tbh

He dresses like that and carries a hammer because of he's the commander of a special strike force called the Accusers. And he was working with Thanos because Thanos gave him an Infinity Stone which helped him push his own political agenda. All of this was explained in the GotG movie and this one, you don't need any knowledge of the comic book Ronan

also, Josh, I saw the first Guardians twice and the second one once and the entirety of my thought process when he turned up was "oh it's that guy that Danny Hellman made jokes about some poster on the old TCJ messageboard who worked at FBI having the same name as, and... he... works for the big space-god-monster in these or something. Or maybe not yet? w/e, bad guy."

lol double feature were you in your car for like five hours

miss the days when my friend's dad had an old van and we were allowed to sit on sleeping bags on the roof of it at the drive-in as kids

Reminds me of the first time we flew to Australia, when iirc I watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy on the plane with plenty of more time to kill.

i'm choosing to read that as mh's story reminds you of the time you flew to australia in sleeping bags in the roof of the plane

watching the cinema of the sky, soundtracked by the roar of the jet engines

Which Mendo characters are the most Mendo? https://t.co/TTvUj3rCNE

Mendo in the Year My Voice Broke is still my favorite Mendo

I wonder if "eating a pie while driving and punching a dart" would have made it past Twitter's offensive content filters

lol double feature were you in your car for like five hours

sat in lawn chairs for Carol, got into the car for Endgame

due to the 47th parallel, though, apart from going for a piss during the credits, this meant being in the car from 23:45 til 04:15
