Just now reading this and what a unique visual style this person created. Sorry to realize they had passed away.
I was thinking the same thing. From the quick glimpse they gave in the trailer, it looks like Hush.
Agreed! When you get to those last few minutes and discover that the doctor knew all the time, it makes you fight back tears. Such a moving moment and a perfect ending to a superb movie!
If it's anything like the last two seasons of Black Mirror, then I'll pass.
Whoa... I thought this movie would suck but come one, Shazam was a good superhero movie! At least I enjoyed it. The only reason Shazam didn't make more at the box office is because WB released it between Infinity War and Endgame. Everyone was watching what the MCU was doing then. If WB had released it later - like the early Fall of 2019 - Shazam would have done much better. Aquaman made over a billion dollars and Shazam is a better movie than Aquaman. Just saying.
As for Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn (or whatever the heck they ended up entitling it), it was a movie that should have never been made.
I like that synopsis. Information is power.
Yeah, Brin is a pretty weird guy. I think he thinks of himself as some futuristic hippie. I've also never read anything else he wrote after reading The Postman. It just reminds us of what separates really good science fiction from really bad science fiction. For every Orson Scott Card or Ray Bradbury, there are literally hundreds of David Brins!
It is 2020 and the SJW army is at it, so your description wouldn't surprise me one bit. Let's hope that NEVER happens!
I really enjoyed TBH as a kid and it's still an entertaining movie to watch. It's no "hard Sci-Fi" on the level of Interstellar or Moon but it's still better than much of what passed for the genre in the late 70's.
People forget that the 70's gave us classics like Planet of the Apes, Soylent Green, Logan's Run and of course Star Wars: A New Hope.
The 70's also gave us the original Battlestar Galactica, which I still treasure.
I think people are confusing nepotism with racism. There's certainly a distinction. I viewed (not exactly incorrectly) Vetiver's original comment as a personal attack. If the point you are making is that people favor people they know via a professional network, then you can make that argument for every profession. I see your point though and appreciate the politeness of it. In the end, I still don't believe Mackie is being fair but that's his issue.
And you know all this due to your extensive experience in the movie making business? I doubt it.
Okay, explain your charge or are you just a name caller?
Your reflexive response to simply call me ignorant doesn't answer any of my points. At the end of the day, studios are going to hire the best people for the job, whether their skin color is white, black or brown. That's a fact, not an opinion.
And I'd still tell you where to get off anyway, since your response is nothing more than a veiled attack.
Just saying.
Interesting you mention Falcon and Winter Soldier. Since they ran commercials back during the Super Bowl, there's been nothing else online about it and I've heard no discussions on the show. Is it not trending well with viewers?
I haven't seen any of the Disney Plus shows that Marvel has but then I found the Phase IV announcements to be underwhelming. The only items that got my attention were the next Doctor Strange movie and the animated "What If" series.
I agree. BVS was absolutely abysmal. Why someone would want more of that in a revised Justice League is beyond my cognitive ability to understand.
Because "suggesting" those characters can't be female as easily as male is clearly ignoring the fact that the characters are specifically described as HE not SHE in Asimov's books. Your argument is pure SJW dribble.
I often wondered why Marvel's editors make some of the choices they make. Your explanation reveals a lot of what's wrong with comics since the early 2000's. Give me the 80's and 90's comics all over again. I'd spend hours laying around during a rainy Saturday, comic books spread across the floor. The stories then were good, the artwork was fun to look at and the characters had believable motivations. I can't even pick up a modern comic book without being hit with social messaging and treated to nonsensical plot twists. It's sad what the industry has become.
I know some people who liked BVS and I know more who didn't like BVS. Count me in the latter category. BVS was a giant mashup, trying to be too many things and failing to be one single thing. It's possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. The blame can be shared between Zach Snyder for poor storytelling and WB for not having a definitive plan when they started their cinematic universe. Given this, I'm surprised that so many have been hollering from the metaphorical peaks, demanding that they get another BVS type movie in a revised Justice League. It's perplexing.
He'd be good as the Spiderman villain Slide. He was a minor villain but a cool one. A laid-off chemist who designed a nonstick frictionless solution that he applied to a suit. It gave him the ability to zip around corners and dodge and dunk his way out of trouble. He used the suit to rob mob banks in order to finance further research and get revenge on the crime boss who raided his company and laid him off.
Indeed. I hear the new Disney CEO, Bob Chapek wants to get the movies away from wokeness and SJW influences. He's smart. He understands math when looking at the receipts! :)
