Yeah. Not to mention he ..

What'ya talking about Ben Kingsley/Trevor Slattery still is the best thing yet in the MCU and probably the entirety of Superheroe movies of the past 20 years.

Well, couldn't have been a surprise for the Game of Thrones guy. A, it's Game of Thrones. B, the Red Wedding was written in the book and available for people to read before the first episode of Season 1 of the TV series was ever filmed (or the guy was even cast; presumably you'd at least get...

Movie was ok. As said, standard Marvel. I doubt they'll ever be able to top Iron Man 3, so I don't have super-high expectations. Works fine if you like the Marvel humour and stuff.

True. Though Star Wars movies (or other big "Christmas blockbusters") opening before Christmas in the US and Europe don't open until January in China and most of Asia. Still impressive though. Vin Diesel is probably the world's biggest movie star now in China (if he wasn't already after Furious...

To be clear, there is no single TFA teaser/trailer cut that way. They edited stuff from various TFA trailers and even the movie itself (Luke famously wasn't in any trailers) to highlight similar imagery as much as possible.

Again, a group cannot suffer from cognitive dissonance. Only individuals. Islam is the religion of over 1.6 Billion individuals on the planets, encompassing people of all sexualities, political dispositions, etc.. Again, judging all people of a religion or a nation is illogical. Not all...

? Two persons holding different opinions isn't cognitive dissonance. it's just two individuals holding different opinions. Cognitive dissonance is when a single person holds inherently contradictory and irreconcilable positions. For example: A US conservative who claims to value...

I agree. But I also think some people went a bit too far with "Ren/Snoke aren't Sith, they are something different/more secret/Darth Plagueis playing 5th Dimensional Chess with the Sith", simply because they aren't referred to as Sith in TFA. I think with TFA Disney (or JJ) were simply...

Yes. I know Vader was called Lord of the Sith. But other EU "evil jedi" were still dark jedi. There was no Sith as a historical organisation or institutions. It was just a title. It had no more in common with the later flesh-out concept of "the Sith" than the original script-mention of...

Well, not really. Dark Jedi are just Jedi that are evil. Sith implies a continuous history of evil Jedi following (as well as occasionally breaking) certain traditions, mainly the "Always two there are; no more, no less" quote from Phantom Menace (which was clearly modelled on the Vader/Emperor...

Not ... yet. The very concept of "Sith" is a prequel-concept, like Midichlorians, from the Phantom Menace. Prequels (and EU) retconned Darth Vader and the Emperor being Sith, despite the idea not existing at the time of the original trilogy. TFA kept prequel/EU stuff at arms length, but if...

Where the hell is Fury's eyepatch? Marvel's getting lazy.

Rogue One is a Prequel. And it wasnt that bad. I'd probably put it in the Top 3 Star Wars Prequels.

Definitely should be casting quality actors to make the Terminator franchise great again. I am thinking A-List stuff. Like Christian Bale maybe.

Box Office: 'Beauty And The Beast' Tops $550M Overseas For $984M Worldwide Cume So this one is about to clear 1 Billion international? Upcoming Disney stuff (among other things): GoTG2 in May Jack Sparrow for Memorial Weekend to steamroll Wonderwoman Cars 3 to fill Happy Meals with toys till...

Not gonna save this one. Pacific Rim had about more than twice the opening weekend, more staying power and was cheaper to make in the first place. This one's in deep red accounting territory.

Really? Thor 1 basically was a fish-out-of-water comedy with a short superhero fight tacked on to the end. "I need a horse" The constant slap-stick "I ran him over with the van" on repeat mode. Etc..

Shouldn't that be Goldfinger?

I like it!

Maybe in a half a decade or so they'll reboot with Tranny-in-skirt-with-stars-Wonder Woman, red underpants high-jump/can-lift-a-car/run-as-fast-a-train Superman, blond-with-orange-costume Aquaman & orange-shirt Green Lantern.

2 hours isn't even going to get you to the third act of these movies. 'Justice League' Initial Runtime Rumored Over 3 Hours Long | Comic Book Global

Heresy! Iron Man 3 > all other Marvel movies, mainly thanks to Trevor Slattery (though technically not the villain, I admit). That said, the fact that all the nerds got so butt-hurt over the Ben Kingsely switch is the reason trailers these days just give away shit like Spiderman or...

Yeah. Snyder-visuals are getting really old. If they insist on keeping him on board, couldn't we at least have a hard-R Leonidas, Deathstroke, Rorschach, BvS-Murder-Batman crossover? WW can stay for slow-mo spartan-style tag-teaming with Leonidas.

Man. The White Stripes are making soooo much money of all those trailers.

The part where you made an effort to post it? Why would you post things you don't care about? The oldest known goldfish lived to be 41 years old /dun care.

Awesome. A thread with people both mad Disney is turning a campy 4-colour Norse-god-spandex-spinoff into a slightly off-white version and mad Disney is NOT turning a campy 4-colour Norse-god-spandex-spinoff into a Trump-coloured alien lizard. Gotta love the internet.

Bullshit. Iron Man 3 will reign supreme for all eternity. Superhero movies and possibly cinema itself peaked with that movie.

Better quality

Agreed. John Wick isn't aiming for Citizen Kane, but if the success of JW makes action directors more likely to hold a steady camera at cool action, instead of using a gazillion cuts for every little non-issue, it's a win for everyone..

Because he makes studios a shit ton of money? Wikipedia has him at an all-time No. 8 with nearly 4 billion domestic revenue made by his movies. From the seven guys ahead of him (Spielberg, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Michael Bay, David Yates, Christopher Nolan and Robert Zemeckis), arguably...

Look at that army of Jedi over there, led by Rey, Finn, Luke and Jar Jar, each commanding a cohort of a million younglings. They are ... the last jedi!

No way. The got the Suicide Squad re-shoot guy to do all the reshooting and patching. Impeccable resume boosting character plots and such. Loved his work on Slipknot and Katana. Really guarantees integrity and putting-fans-first-no-matter-what-the-money-execs-say right there, does it not?

Rogue One didn't "bomb" in China. It just made significantly less than TFA, which is true for the US as well. TFA made 247 Million opening weekend domestic, R1 made 155 Million. R1 is probably going to peeter out at around half a billion US domestic when all is done. TFA made twice that. The...

And Star Wars wants to continue to sell crap to the very same people who were children in 1977.

Well, that's the Star Wars franchise and they paid for that franchise to get those fans so they could sell them what they want. Star Wars is still, all things considered, more flexible than many other (Disney) franchises (how much can you branch and experiment with, dunno, Pirates of the...
