The god that wrestled with black holes...

Gorr ain't playing around...
Jane looks great...

Indeed she does.

Can't wait to see Gorr in action.

Actually pumped up for this, and with Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, Chris Pratt, Natalie Portman and Russell Crowe starring, this is surprisingly a stellar line up.

Yeah, the cast is stellar. I'm hoping it'll be a good mix of action and comedy like Ragnorok.

I know. Could've used the banter, though. There's been a dearth of decent banter on this platform.

Matt Reeves has blood on his hands. He can't even get a Batman film to gross a billion dollars. Overrated director, overrated film.

Na we tell others make them no compete? Everyone fears The Bat of Gotham. That's why no one wanted to drop anything major at the same time

I was playing the devil's advocate.

The Russia embargo and the worsening Covid situation in China took a heavy toll.

just saw it...
I gave the trailer a like...
Then I saw the female Thor and remove the like

From the trailer, doesn't look like my fears will happen sha...
I feared that Thor will be sidelined and replaced by one female Thor or so

Nah, the teaser didn't show much. The majority of the footage here is from the first act of the film. First act is Thor "giving up" his superhero days to do some light-hearted world exploring.

Who is the most intelligent human across the Marvel cinematic multiverse?

In comics it's Reed Richards, but in the MCU I'd say Tony Stark.

The Batman made bank though. So much for all your spelling of doom and gloom.

Given the lack of competition, I'd say not nearly enough.

Disappointing, considering it had zero competition for most of its run.

**Pachinko**
A lovely show. Wonderful acting, interesting characters you care about and empathise with, and a fantastic story. I can't say enough nice things about it. The best show on TV right now.

**Slow Horses**
A fun show with good acting. Gary Oldman is a treasure. The plot is interesting and it has picked up in the last few episodes. Funny as well.

**The Outer Range**
Intriguing. The cowboy aesthetic is nice. Ep 2 made me WTF at the end.

**MoonKnight**
Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke are great to watch, but the show itself has been disappointing for me. Isn't doing enough to distinguish itself from the other Marvel properties, and some big moments feel a bit hollow and rigid.

**Atlanta**
I just finished watching the fifth episode of the new season, and it's been a wild ride so far. I've enjoyed the one-off episodes, and whenever we follow the crew, it's always entertaining. It's been fascinating to see where all of the characters have gone.

**Tokyo Vice**
After a slow start, things are picking up and I'm becoming more immersed in the story.

**Yaksha: Ruthless Operations**
They tried to pull the "these guys are actually the good guys" plot twist, but they did too many unsavory things in the beginning for it to work for me. The action is good though, and the ending is satisfying.

**Moonfall**
This movie is terrible, the majority of the dialogue is terrible, nothing makes sense, and shit just gets more and more ridiculous, to the point where it's "so bad it's good."

**The Adam Project**
Ryan Reynolds quick wit is hilarious when meeting his 12 year old self. Their repartee is great as the kid acts exactly like him, dialogue and all. It's not an award-winning film, but it's a good way to pass the time.

it's old news bro. It's just a 25-30% stake. undecided

It doesn't matter. WB, while not a majority shareholder, is still a major player and thus has a lot of influence over how RT operates.

I learned recently that Warner Bros owns Rotten Tomatoes. Make what you will of it.

Apple TV+ is killing it right now.

• Severance
• Pachinko
• The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey
• Slow Horses
• Dickinson
• Ted Lasso
• The Mosquito Coast

Finally, HBO has a legit rival.

Colin Farrell says that the 'Penguin' spin off series could be Rated-R.

TV/Movies / Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by VerifiedStalin: 3:39pm On Mar 07, 2022
The fact that LeFranc describes herself as "currently showrunner" confirms that the yet-untitled HBO Max spinoff, is moving forward, and could be titled 'The Penguin'.

Great news.

I gave it 0.5 out of 5 stars. I was expecting a wall street story adaptation of the 3 Little Pigs or Red Riding Hood. I was disappointed

I gave it one out of five stars because the film only has one star, Margot Robbie. She's hot.

You have to wonder what goes through their minds while they're writing these things. Are they trying to be funny or are they dead serious? grin

I couldn't care less about his medical condition. None of my business.


My grouse is the fact that you wrote "gets paid $1 million for these movies" for a B rated movie. Where will the funds come from? How much is the total budget for the project?



He gets paid, that's all there's to it. It was backed up by the article I cited. I'm not sure why you're still arguing.

Now I feel bad for him.

Still better than Nicolas Cage


It all depends on how you see things.

• Nic Cage's career trajectory has been shaped by both circumstance and choice.

• Bruce Willis' career trajectory has been shaped by circumstance.

Nic was deeply in debt, so he took whatever he could get, and once he's out of debt decides to pursue arthouse direct-to-video projects. He seems to relish the creative freedom that starring in these low-budget films provides. He isn't averse to taking risk.

Exactly. They want every movie to be funny.

Like one critic gave The Devil All the Time rotten score because she wanted Tom Holland to be like spiderman.

Sometimes you wonder if these critics are sane before they send their write up

Netflix bankrolled flicks count as a standard for B and C rated flicks the likes which Bruce had been sharing beds with?


You didn't even bother to read the article, did you?


1. A subliminal allusion to his dementia issues(?)

2. A relevant talking point

You're correct on him being the most CB accurate, but most iconic is definitely Adam West...
Never seen a single episode but everybody loves and knows him.... He's also the Batman that has the tools for everything grin grin

Lol, you sound just like my boomer Dad.

Fortunately I'm a Gen - Y, Keaton is our most iconic Batman. cheesy

mehn I am not sure that guy has any dementia, I checked his networth man's worth over 250m money no be him problem. Some of this his movies are Z rated to me if theirs anything like that

The rumor definitely has substance. There have been far too many articles and speculations about his dementia for it to be nought.

$1 million you say?


How much is the total budget of the entire production of a B-rated movie?



Even some A-list movies that don't pay a million for lead roles....


Let's calm down with the throwing of figures around.

You might get a sense of where I'm coming from if you read this article.

By the way, you have absolutely no idea how the film industry operates.
