Have to give Marvel props for going for solid actors for their heroes rather than who looks great in the costume.

The what's her name thing is nowhere near as complicated as folks are making out. Her employer and her co-workers were pretty clear they wanted her to stop tweeting about conspiracy theories and other stuff. She didn't, so she got fired. It's Disney, if you want to be a controversial figure, The Mou...

Given what we've all learned about Whedon recently I'm glad to see his contribution, such as it was to this movie, is being bulldozed and concreted over.

Dogfish

This reminds me how companies make video games where its unfinished when they ship it then you get a patch later that may fix it. So true. Given that this is mostly a graphics update and some bugs in the storyline being worked out am going to refer to it as Justice League 1.1. It also helps that th...

I thought it was great. I love this version of Kong, have since Skull Island. They've created this expressive, smart, dynamic monster and he's amazing to watch. The bit in GvK where Kong sits bolt upright Tyson Fury style, then pops his shoulder back in before going to fight MechaGodzilla is just br...

Donezel Washington.

Was pretty clear Disney fucked it up when they started complaining about Scarlett being 'callous'. It's like, first off, these motherfuckers ran a themepark in the middle of a pandemic, the idea they can criticise anybody else for not taking the plague seriously is a joke. Secondly, contracts are ve...

You complained about me bringing up politics. Does anyone get to refute you on this or is this just you having a say. You brought up politics. Hey, if you think it's reportable then do your thing, bro. The politics I'm mentioning do happen to be directly relevant to the subject matter and not a ran...

This is a great thing, and here's why. When the religious whackjobs used Mastercard to go after PornHub, what did we hear about when it went down? We heard stories about child porn, revenge porn, women being abused and raped on the site. And a lot of people took this at face value, and a lot of peop...

I wasn't crazy about how they handled Harley Quinn. I think they made her way too uber-competent. Harley should succeed wildly a lot of the time, but she should also fail wildly a lot of the time, and it would be every bit as entertaining. She's a wild card, not an ace. She's like some kind of supe...

Bridget Regan is hot as fuck. Great choice for Poison Ivy.

Dogfish

Slight tangent but Shawshank Redemption didn't even get universally great reviews when it came out either. Lot of people uncomfortable about how it humanised criminals.

Dogfish

The stuff about how dangerous the set was seems to backed up by the number of injuries reported there, and the amount of pressure on Ruby despite the injuries she was carrying must have made it a properly hellish job. I'm more inclined to trust the word of an actor than production executives, becaus...

Hang on? It's contemporary?

That's bad.

Nobody has a sword now. You can't heroically fight people with a sword if nobody else has one. You're just stabbing people.

Figured to update this thread. So the game got delayed. Here's a video of it in action. Little bit janky but this is from August 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJjRRErYdO4&ab_channel=DC And a trailer for the Court of Owls stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArDx9pwK5ys&ab_channel=D...

I mean. Seriously. This looks fucking cool.

I was wary at first, but it's Rocksteady. I should have been more trusting. And I don't say that often/ever.

I know and it is the worst.

So it stuck the ending. It's getting a new season. I'm looking forward to seeing the new dance.

It's Star Trek lads. Space communists doing social justice. It's not even subtext, it's literally what the show has always been about. Bunch of pronoun-respecting anti-racist luxury communists travelling the galaxy fixing conservative/fashy/religious aliens and the problems they cause, sometimes by ...

Dogfish

Puts me to mind of that point a few years ago when the price of oil dropped below zero. It's an interesting time for superhero stuff, the MCU has peaked, it will never surpass Infinity War. DC are willing to do weird shit with their IPs now because the idea of a coherent DCEU was apparently cursed b...

Shades of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman from a decade ago. https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/adrianne-palicki-wonder-woman/ I managed to track that one down. It was Catwoman bad. But then it was a pilot, so it was always a gamble. With a movie even if it's bad you're not throwing anything...

Dogfish

Holy shit you guys somebody made another good Predator movie! It's been so long since that happened I didn't really know what to think, but they did it. I don't think it has the impact, or the moments, of the original movie. There whole obliteration of the jungle scene isn't going to be bettered on ...

Dogfish

Yeah, it's classic Predator stuff. The Predators are big and bulky, they're not light on their feet or particularly agile. Dutch can't fight the alien man to man in the first movie, he gets slapped around, and he's too big himself to duck and weave. But these lads aren't. Dancing around it and taki...

It's 40 years old and was of its time That is no excuse. Benny Hill is still highly regarded in Britain. Off camera he was supposedly an absolute gentleman and was very protective of the women on the show. If you read about a lot of what was going on in show biz in that same era, it was pretty toxi...

Dogfish

Yeah but there's a real problem with racist fantasy fans who can believe a dragon but who become enraged at the sight of a black person with a sword. Best to ignore them.

Mob review scores are literally worthless and should never have been encouraged.

I watched the first episode. Thought it was brilliant. I could almost feel how impatient people would be seething as it plodded along. That's how you know the writers understood the source material. Tolkien's work moves slow. This moves slow. Also I love this version of Galadriel and Elrond. I don't...

Dogfish

cheer up guys. :) https://i.redd.it/iaruqbkr01m91.png See I must be insane but I really like the return to Tolkien's vision of Galadriel as a warrior queen. He envisioned her as the mightiest of all the elves, describing her as like an Amazon. Key part there is not, "She's pretty handy with a ...

Dogfish

The problem is that she's never been given space to earn the status she has in Endgame. In Endgame she's one of the most awesome characters in the whole thing and she's barely in it. She almost steals the movie. The whole bit where the starship starts firing and nobody knows what they are firing at ...

Dogfish

P.S. - Also 4 episodes in and I can say Rings of Power is actually GOOD...... so the crybaby bitching about it is more moot than ever. Wait until you get six episodes in. I wondered what the better part of a billion dollars spent on a TV show would look like, now I know. And it's fucking amazing. A...

Dogfish

I really like the look and feel of the show. The worlds look rich and full of detail and populated by interesting characters. The acting all round has been solid and the effects unobtrusively good. The plotline though - I feel like the true direction of Cass hasn't emerged yet and I wonder how its ...

Dogfish

I just can't be bothered to care about Andor? :/ even with the mostly positive reception I find myself with no drive whatsoever to watch it. For starters. I really don't like Rogue One, thought it was pretty basic, not really a good star wars movie, not really a good war movie with lackluster chara...

Dogfish

Apologies, but I just could not resist, after seeing this topic brought up in a Dave Cullen video. A billion dollar TV show creates a crowd shot by copy-pasting a small group of actors three or four times each. Immediately discernible - just use your Where's Waldo skills. It doesn't take One Ring t...

Dogfish

The problem I have with the whole incel baddies thing is I just can't take the idea that people who live in the MCU version of Earth have time for that shit. Life there is weird, and a constant rolling series of near world-ending catastrophes. I get for the shows to be relevant they sort of have rel...

Dogfish

The latest Rings of Power episode was interesting and moved the needle forward in fascinating ways, especially on The Stranger's story with the Harfoots. (And who are those eldritch Sauron-followers chasing him? They're cool as hell and really frightening.) It might have felt like "filler"...

Dogfish

Welp, that was was twelve episodes of brilliance. Best sustained chunk of Star Wars since the original trilogy. Awesome.

Dogfish

I stand corrected. I remember that show being hornier than usual but not that extent. But then I didn't have it on video so I only saw it the once, with a smattering of repeats, and I don't think I even saw it all. Also it bears repeating, it will never not be a tragedy how badly wrong they got Rogu...

Dogfish

I liked it, but it's definitely a middle movie in a series deal and not a main event like the first one.

One of those have a pee before you start movies too, even if you don't think you need one, you're going to with three hours of ocean malarkey ahead of you.

Dogfish

There's no reason for them to have different languages as they're still functionally part of the same system. They all plug into the Big Planet God Hub at whatever point on the planet they are and then go from there. They're not developing language like humans do. I think this was highlighted by th...

See that's why I don't buy it. That saviour complex is extremely common. Now it's a problem? Meh. Some people just live to find reasons to be mad about popular things.

This was the problem with the sequel trilogy. If you just say, "LOL Emperor is back, and so is the Empire, also bigger and with infinite resources" it's just shit.

Dogfish

Seems like its going to turn out as bad as Avengers. Also notice you see no clips of Batman, Wonder Woman, small amount of Flash and Superman. Seeing some game play it seems like the characters are all flavors of ice cream, nothing distinctive. They all have guns for example. Why does Capt Boomerra...

Dogfish

Had to be Zaslav. The guy has shit for brains. Anybody with any sense would know that even a mediocre, or straight up bad, Bat Girl movie is going to be a draw because of Keaton as Batman. Enough people would want to see that to justify releasing the movie. They need to hurry up and get Fishboy 2 an...

Dogfish

I wouldn't say that The Boys is all talk, but it definitely has a tendency towards a couple of epic fights per season and the rest is pretty low key. Bottom line is it's cheaper to draw an explosion than explode something.

Dogfish

Looks like the cottage industry built out of outraged noises on Youtube about Captain Marvel is back. Hooray.
