Our first look at the #Godzilla and Titans live action series, 'Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.'

The Apple TV+ series based on Legendary’s #Monsterverse stars Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell.

Just started watching SEE, and three episodes in, its gorgeous cinematography, brilliant acting, and catchy score can't make up for its awful pacing, dull plot, and dialog. Not to mention, the director of this series seems to lack actual direction. Whatever the case, I'll keep downloading in the hopes that the best episodes are still to come.

Nobody can claim that there is a good series anywhere that requires you to sit through a terrible season first before things get interesting. Avoid this series if you don't like a slow beginning. Also lacking at the moment are the action scenes.

Marvel??

Wasn't expecting that.

Wonderful.

Season 5

armadeo:
.

I think season 5. I pushed through to the end though but it lost a lot of steam

Thanks.

armadeo:
Kevin spacey singularly carried this show. The 3rd wall break was phenomenal.

The second he "left", the show crashed into the ground and didn't recover.

Very good show.

Please which season did he leave, let me know when to stop watching.

armadeo:
I think I saw one starring josh brolin.

That one was released in 2013. The new one is not a direct remake like the one from 2013, which was based on the 2003 film. This one is a standalone movie that has been digitally remastered and is centered in the same world as the original Manga. In contrast to the stylized action in the 2013 version, this one aims to adopt a more grim and violent tone. How its plot will compare to or relate to earlier versions is currently unknown.

ErenXSatoru:
Are they recreating?

A remastered version of the 2003 South Korean film.

Season 3 out now.

In order not turn this into a warped argument.

If i could get you correctly, the bone you had to pick was. "Looks" should not be a criteria for casting, which we have agreed that "Beauty sells" bit, hence.

Then you went on about many tv series talented actors that have wowed and not get the special call, and i also gave you reasons why it might seem so.

So at the bolded part of your statement, please give me famous roles given to perceived "privileged" actors, and name a tv star that could have done it better. So that the point you're trying to make will stick.



I think you damn well know what i am trying to say, because it was you mentioned television actors that are seemingly doing fantastic work on those shows and I have never gotten the special call.

Your example is piss poor on what you are arguing on, as it rather validates my point. So i will pick 4 of them to buttress.

Niecy Nash is literally known as "the television goddess", because that is what suites her acting profile. Not that she hasn't even started in mainstream movies, she has been in quite a few, so she gets the special call, she just prefers Tv shows.

Tracee Ellis Ross, this one even has a fantastic nepo head start cuz she's the daughter of a famous person, so she do get the call, but as you can already predict, her acting range is best suited for television.


Jane Adams? Maybe not the one i know, cuz the one i know has even been in more movies than tv shows, critically acclaimed movies as well, so she definitely gets the call.

Uzo Aduba's main niche has been stage play, and she's very famous around that circles, as way back as 2003. Her roles in mainstream media prior to the Suzanne casting has been minor voice roles and cameos, so the suzanne casting isn't enough to send "the special call" rolling in, tho she has been in a few other projects here and there, but her main calling is stage play!.

On a final note, yes numerous factors influences casting, but my point still is if you are talented in tv show, you are talented enough for big roles in movies, the acting are quite the same in retrospect, only stage acting is different, and any "talented tv show actors" not getting the call, is one probably not answering that call or there's some other more talented actors filling those roles, simple and end of.

Stop making up things in your head; I didn't pick any bones. I merely said we are currently witnessing someone land major roles because of their appearance, which is true and demonstrates that looks is a factor that is taken into account when making casting decisions in Hollywood because beauty sells, and everyone knows that. I also asked, "How many actors have wowed you with their acting prowess in a TV series but have never gotten that special call?". Then, despite the fact that you made some good points, you continued to write a lengthy post in which you informed me of things I already knew.

You might disagree with my preferred selection for those roles, or you may not even know about the actors I choose so giving more examples now is rather pointless. You are only partially correct when you say that talent for a TV show equates to talent for a movie. The categories of scripts that include character development and uncommon storytelling techniques can differ greatly.

The last thing you said, "Any "talented tv show actors" not getting the call, is one probably not answering that call or there's some other more talented actors filling those roles, simple and end of," is also untrue.

• To support the astronomical budget of most Hollywood films, casting directors, directors, producers, or even studio executives frequently choose actors with more established careers.

• Box office appeal is a real thing.

• They also choose actors from TV shows that received a lot of media attention, and this doesn't necessarily imply that they were excellent in their roles; in this case, popularity rules.

• Looks.

• The connections and relationships that TV series actors develop in the television industry might not transfer as well into the film industry.

• The taste in art of the casting directors.

None of these have anything to do with being the best or most talented.

oyaskii:
So it you could mention these talented tv actors that are been marginalized from transitioning to big time Hollywood, pls mention and maybe we can continue the discussion from there.

Congratulations, you just used a lot of words to say what I've already said, which is that Hollywood casting decisions are based on a variety of factors. I am aware that beauty sells, and it may help you advance where talent may not. My main argument is that success is born when opportunity and effort are combined. The fact that you haven't seen them demonstrate their impressive acting ability in a variety of TV series or shows doesn't imply that they don't take their acting career seriously or that it is just one of many interests they have.

I can name actors who have landed prominent Hollywood roles due to their appearance; these were roles that many TV stars could have easily taken and given performances that were superior to what they so called actors delivered. I'm saying no more than that. Ezra Miller is a good actor in my opinion, but he was given a subpar script to work with. I am well aware of how a poor script or poor directing can make an excellent actor seem to be having a bad day.

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by asking me to name a television actors who are being marginalized from making it big in Hollywood, but I'll certainly do so. I could continue by mentioning actors who were chosen for prominent roles for factors other than talent, and perhaps that list would be longer. The actors you requested include; Niecy Nash, Rietta, Uzo Aduba, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rhea Seahorn, Jane Adams, Megan Mullally, and Brandon Scott Jones.

Numerous factors influence casting opportunities, as I've previously stated. Everyone proceeds at their own pace, simple.

The antagonist in Across the spiderverse

Exactly.

mirinder:
i've been wanting to ask. Whats up with the figures attached to each earth? Kindly elucidate. We have students amongst us.

The figures attached to each Earth are called Earth designations. They are used to differentiate between different universes in the Marvel multiverse. In the Marvel multiverse, there are infinite universes, each with its own unique history and timeline. The Earth designation is a way of identifying which universe a particular character or event is from.

Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man are from different universes, so they have different Earth designations. This means that their stories and experiences are different, even though they are both Spider-Man. The earth designations were introduced to keep track of the different universes in the multiverse. Over the years, it has become an important part of the Marvel lore.

Beauty tax... she no sabi act normal.

As if I knew that I would have another chance to address this situation in the future. It hasn't been more than a few weeks since Abduleez was bashing talented actors who never got their big break on the big screen. The guy was blabbing as if he had no idea what goes on behind closed doors.

How many actors have wowed you with their acting prowess in a TV series but have never gotten that special call? But we are currently witnessing someone land major roles because of looks. I didn't even want to write a lengthy post about connections, favoritism, and Hollywood politics in general. People have a tendency to speak without thinking sometimes.

Nickshrapnel:
Didn’t Miguel said Holland is from Earth-199999?

Who is Miguel, is he one of the writers at Marvel studios?

ValeeLove:
Marvel fans: If Holland is on Earth 616, then where do Tobey and Garfield belong?

Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man are from Earth-96283 and Earth-120703, respectively. These are alternate realities from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which is set on Earth-616.

I'm not even going to lie that I expected this movie to be good.

Born2Freak:
Bro, Barbie is not just a comedy movie. Barbie has always been a huge intellectual property since 1959. It has been popular since the 60s- before you were born.


Before Barbie, the Mario movie, which is in the same category of being a comedic movie based on an established IP, made over a billion dollars.

If you know, why are you still making noise? They are two very big brands that have been around for many years and this is the first time they have made live action movies that are shown on the big screen. So what is so difficult for you to understand? Super Mario Bros. had a production budget of around $100 million and a marketing budget of around $80–100 million, but still grossed over $1.3 billion. Didn't you see how popular it was? Why didn't you make noise about it?

Also, stop pretending that a $150 million marketing budget is the norm, when you compare the marketing budgets of other blockbusters we've seen over the last decade, you'll see that this one is tens of millions above average. What we have on our hands here is a very remarkable brand with a huge marketing budget that, and as it should, is growing in popularity, not surprising.

Looks good. Will definitely see this one too.

Sorry wrong thread

I see something like warrior here but it might not have its depth.

ErenXSatoru:
abz1 sozn and bad should predict BlueBeetle box office, I want to know

I'm sticking with the professionals in this case, all it's projections are poor. Its total worldwide and domestic box office take should be less than or equal to $250 million. Although, that ought to be sufficient to break even and turn a profit.

Ben Affleck managed to make a movie about contract negotiations that is fascinating, motivational, entertaining, engaging and funny. When I read the plot and realized it wasn't a deeply emotional biopic about Michael Jordan's career, I thought I made a mistake. Ben accomplished a rare feat here; I'm glad I kept it.
