Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY To Rival "John Carter" As Disney's Biggest Bomb

I'm happy as hell that Quan's making a legit return to acting. :) Having him and Indy on a new adventure would have been so much better than seeing a gaunt, frail-looking John Rhys-Davies being reduced to Indy's Uber driver. :(

Re: INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY To Rival "John Carter" As Disney's Biggest Bomb

People giving me crap about being "factually wrong" about the Dial Of Destiny reshoots on Twitter. :roll: It's been almost a year, the movie bombed, they can 'fess up already!

Re: The Marvels...done your MCU homework yet?

Even if it succeeds, it's not really evidence that "audiences are BACK for comic book movies!" though... Reynolds' quips cast a wider, R-rated net with adult audiences as opposed to "MCU" movies. To some extent they are not the same audience. This was always the difference betwe...

Re: Did you all skip the Oscars telecast too?

I actually found it the breeziest and most entertaining Oscar telecast in many years. And starting it an hour early was GREATLY appreciated (and I hope that becomes a standard...who wants to stay up until almost midnight on a Sunday? :?). Some wins I really appreciated (like Mr. G 8)), and there wer...

- Love Lies Bleeding (2024): 10/10 https://cdn.moviefone.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/love-lies-bleeding-109.jpg This is the most twisted and galvanizing pretzel-logic lesbian noir since Bound , and the first authentically great movie of the year.

Re: The Marvels...done your MCU homework yet?

For the MCU, it's all over but the grousing at this point. I seriously doubt even teaming up Deadpool & Wolverine this summer is going to re-galvanize anyone's interest in a truly moribund genre.

Re: "These Aren't the New STAR WARS Movie Announcements You've Been Waiting For"

For a studio that's kept three MCU movies per year spinning since roughly 2015, WHY is it so hard to get a theatrical Star Wars project off the ground, one that's NOT connected to one of the D+ or animated shows? :?

Re: "These Aren't the New STAR WARS Movie Announcements You've Been Waiting For"

I didn't even bother with watching the third season.

Star Wars is dead to me. Even the "acclaimed" Andor bored me to tears. Disney's gonna lose their shirts on a Mandalorian movie...without the Mandalorian!

Re: STAR TREK Complete Original Series STEELBOOK Blu-Ray - $44

Stacked discs increase the likelihood of scratches exponentially.

Re: STAR TREK For Sale to Warner Bros.?!?!

And certainly better than the alternative, which is Paramount itself being sold to WB and effectively shut down. We don't need another studio going the way of Fox...not unless you like 3 or 4 megacorporations solely producing 99% of the world's entertainment. :( It's infuriating that Disney essenti...
