Re: AVENGERS ENDGAME Runs 181 Minutes

People are idiots. I am not an especially religious person, but it appears that many are taking this stuff to heart as if it were a religion. A religion which has only about 50-60 years of tradition, created by nicotine stained hacks who would have laughed until they puked at the notion of anyone ta...

Re: BOND 25 - Adds 5th Screenwriter To Make It "Funnier"

They should have replaced Craig after Spectre underperformed. He sounds like a giant pain in the ass.

Re: Russo Brothers to "Godfather" Remakes of MGM Classics

Remember when Tom Cruise and his producing partner had a similar arrangement with MGM? I think it lasted about 2-3 years and produced about 2-3 movies.

Re: Weekend Box Officer 4/6 - Shazam Tops The Field

As a Disney stockholder, I hope you are right about Lion King. But, Disney has made so many bone headed decisions as of late...I think an ass whooping is in store. Tim Burton is a talented guy, and probably has more name recognition among the general population of anyone currently working with the e...

Re: Weekend Box Officer 4/6 - Shazam Tops The Field

Dumbo drops 67%! My guess is Tim Burton is going to take the fall for this one, not the dope who thought hiring him for this material was a good idea. The silver lining, perhaps fewer live action remakes of the animated classics. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Aladdin and Lion King also under per...

Re: rate the last movie you saw

Do you think Chris Evans will appear in anything people will actually pay to see after hanging up his Captain America costume? After looking at his non Marvel CV, I’ve come to the conclusion Evans is the definition of someone who should keep his day job.

Re: rate the last movie you saw

I saw Pet Sematary today and I found it more tedious than the original, which is saying something. They showed half a dozen previews for equally crummy looking horror films due this summer. But, the most cringe-worthy trailer was for the new Avengers movie. Yikes! I understand the movie itself runs ...

I saw Shazam! yesterday. I suspect you are going to love it. The Variety review is on the nose.

It alway struck me that if Tarantino hadn’t gotten in to show biz, he would be hanging around a bus station.

Re: CAPTAIN MARVEL "Drowns in Victimhood"

Interestingly (or hypocritically) enough, after all of my pissing and moaning, the one movie I’m really looking forward to seeing is Shazam! The trailer starts in a generic comic book manner, but pulls a fast one and suddenly looks like it could be a charming comedy. We shall see, but at least it lo...

Re: CAPTAIN MARVEL "Drowns in Victimhood"

I was looking at the list of MCU films and in my opinion there is one really good movie, one crummy movie and the rest are time wasters on a sliding scale of banality. I’m not a big fan of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, but none of the MCU is in the same league as those three films. Artistically...

Re: CAPTAIN MARVEL "Drowns in Victimhood"

I took my daughter to see Captain Marvel and tend to agree with Monterey’s analysis, except I would only go 5 on the rating, maybe 6 compared to other Marvel product. My big take-a-way is I haven’t seen Samual L. Jackson so lose and fun in a movie in a long, long time. Now I remember why I liked him...

Re: Read a Book, then Watch Its Movie!

Wow, what a great analysis! I have the book and for whatever reason, never got around to reading it; now I’m glad I didn’t waste my time. The original film is one of the best of the 70’s and the final scene is perfection. The remake, with John Travolta and Denzel Washington is terrible (despite a go...

Re: CAPTAIN MARVEL "Drowns in Victimhood"

Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t pay that much attention to this kind of stuff, but I don’t recall this much negativity when either Black Panther or Wonder Woman were released. Did the stars of either of those movies gode potential ticket buyers? What I find amusing, is that adult females take this superher...
