Mark Kermode called "Avatar 2" an artistically devoid "wet Smurfahontas bore-a-thon". We're supposed to be taking the kids on Sunday afternoon. I might have to "catch covid". At least the review was entertaining.
Here’s a thought following yesterdays Henry Cavill at Marvel chat. I’ve heard a rumour that Marvel could be looking at him to play Hyperion (Marvel’s evil Superman). Imagine if they included the whole Squadron Supreme (Marvel’s evil Justice League) and cast all of the DCEU’s recently canned stars in the respective roles… would be so funny 🤣
Now here's a movie that has me interested in going to the cinema next year Adam Driver + dinosaurs.
Cocaine Bear looks like a fun time too.
It's a shame for Henry, but he'll not be short of work I'm sure. Very excited about DC under Gunn though, Could leave Marvel in the dust if they don't get their act together soon!
@MightyDemon82@colonelkilgore In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Gunn has been getting threats to his bodily safety from the Snyderverse hardcore over the handling of the Cavill situation. Bunch of losers.
@colonelkilgore@LN78@MightyDemon82 Cavill has announced he's trying to get a Warhammer Cinematic Universe up and running which if done right could be awesome. Doing what he loves which is mint for him and I've got every faith in the guy.
@colonelkilgore What I don't understand is what those guys actually see in the Snyder DC movies that was so great to begin with. I think they're all various shades of godawful.
@LN78 yeah they were a mess for sure. I just think some people are so wrapped up in the characters pre-DCEU that they take the news as a sleight on DC as a whole, when in reality the DCEU was the sleight. People are strange as the song goes.
Watched King of Thieves tonight. Seen it before. Really funny movie. Bit scary at times. Not surprising with the calibre of actors in it, turning the tone on a dime. Brill film.
Don’t know if it technically counts as a movie as such but I watched Flip’s Sorry vid for the millionth time. Very much of its time, the Johnny Rotten stuff hasn’t aged brilliantly but the actual skating holds up and the soundtrack’s excellent. I’d kill to get my hands on an actual tape of it!
So it turns out the reason that James Cameron waited 12 years (or however long it was) to release "Avatar 2" was because he was hoping that people would forget the first one - that way he could release the second installment and nobody would notice that for all intents and purposes it's the same movie but with slightly nicer graphics. Sorry Jim, but that's a tactic videogame companies have been using (sometimes on an annual basis) since time immemorial - it never works.
@nessisonett It's an absolute slog, mate. We were there with two pre-teens (who were visibly bored by hour two) so you can imagine how much fun that was!
