Which should surprise no one.


Has anyone heard what they're going to do about Black Panther? I feel like culturally that one warrants a sequel, but it feels wrong to recast.
Kevin Feige said that you definitely won't see a different actor playing T'Challa. This pretty much guarantees that some other character, perhaps Shuri, becomes The Black Panther

I wonder who the next dead actor is who will be recreated digitally, like Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher.

It was supposed to be James Dean. And I didn't think they actually recreated Carrie Fisher, I thought they used leftover footage for her final scenes?

Also, this is a practice that I'm really not a fan of. I'm kind of okay using it to cameo a character if it's appropriate, but creating new characters wholesale is just creepy.

She was CGI at the end of Rogue One, for her one line. I dislike it a lot, and found CGI Cushing super distracting.

The CGI version of the guy who wore the rubber Godzilla suit was pretty good

Not the guys in The Irishman, that’s for sure. I liked the effects in Looper that helped make Joseph Gordon-Levitt into Young Bruce Willis, but that was comparatively subtle.

Well, I liked whatever they did. On The Irishman, everyone looks good until they move, and then they’re all walking like the elderly people they are.

The CGI they used for Nick Fury in the Captain Marvel was mostly really well done.

De-aging seems to be a lot easier than recreating wholesale.

I'm rewatching Ladyhawke, the Richard Donner fantasy film from 1985.

This film is noteworthy for several reasons

- Against a villain played (incredibly) by Shakespeare actor John Wood, and with perfectly wonderful main characters played by Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer, Richard Donner decided that the character who carries the narrative on his shoulders should be played by Matthew Broderick. And Matthew Broderick talks aloud to himself (to God, asking for help getting through events and such), and it only reminds you of Ferris Bueller. Which by the way came out after this film, so it wasn't that Richard Donner was deliberately trying to make you think of Ferris Bueller. It just happens by accident
- The music for this movie is amazingly terrible. I mean, see the movie, and you will not believe your ears. Donner decided to let Alan Parsons produce the score of the film. And he has filled the movie with ear-wrenching pop-like song stylings that, I swear you will laugh when you hear it. It's mind-blowing how bad it is. It reminds me of what Queen did for Flash, except Queen reveled in the camp of it and came up with something that was actually fun
- The story is great, Rutger Hauer is great, Michelle Pfeiffer is super great. John Wood, an actor I don't think any of us are otherwise familiar with, is beyond perfect. I think you'll wish that someone redid the sound because if not for that, you can get over Matthew Broderick reminding you of Ferris Bueller, and then what's left is actually really good, at least in terms of 80s fantasy movies

You should probably see it at some point

John Wood was Dr. Falken in Wargames, so I technically remember him in scenes with Matthew Broderick.

Oh wow

Also, the horse that Rutger Hauer's character rides in this movie is one of the more talented horses I can recall seeing in a film

Lion King Live Action 2 is in being made. Avatar 2 just completely finished being made, and Avatar 3 is 95% done. A Dr Seuss Cinematic Universe is in the works, with two movies so far

edit - oh and I guess the borat 2 trailer dropped

Watch the '67 Bonnie & Clyde. Good times, until they weren't.

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.

That's clearly wrong though, because Mila is leading the military team. Although it could be that they got Tony Jaa to sign on after and swapped roles around.

i was just thinking about the whole thing being a huge joke, like, "truly we are the final fantasy thirteen monster hunters." and it is just the treatment yeah, but maybe the guy is covering his ass with made up shit

but then sony leaks is pretty darn believable

You're right, we need to make it sound different. "Human Hunter".
