  • “Part 2” is kinda self explanatory it seems.
  • Hope you’re okay with the next M:I film’s 163 minute running time!

  • Guys, it’s a Deadpool movie. Not a self serious project.
  • Exaggerating the budget is just a way for studios to explain why they can’t pay writers more. “We didn’t make profit!” Classic Hollywood accounting.
  • Is it really that surprising about THE FLASH?
  • I liked Finn’s arc in TLJ because TFA never really addressed his allegiance, so him declaring himself “rebel scum” was nice character progression, especially since TFA seemed to show him only valuing Rey above all else. But yeah, he’s essentially…

  • Her motives change because Indy grows on her throughout the film to the point that by the end she cares more about him than an artifact. At least, that was my impression. I dunno why others would miss that? It’s sort of like how we see Henry Sr. bei…
  • I always liked Willie. She’s supposed to be a Hollywood brat that gets thrown into an adventure, which brings out a lot of the screwball comedy.
  • I’m not convinced Colin Trevorrow would have delivered, but at least his drafts seemed promising in terms actually building on what TFA and TLJ had laid and pushing forward. The only problem with that version was Kylo Ren’s arc wasn’t strong enough.…

  • Just don’t bring JJ Abrams back.
  • I think you overestimate how influential those moaners are.

  • I’m sorry if it hurts anyone’s feelings that I called Critical Drinker a worthless grifter. Actually I’m not sorry. Go ahead and keep defending that piece of trash. I don’t care.

  • I think it’ll be another reboot, but I don’t think it’ll be another origin story. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if we learn that he already had a history, perhaps similar adventures to his predecessors. Maybe he already had his OHMSS and SKYFALL,…
  • We’ll have to see how its legs are, which will be indicated by the second weekend gross. For comparison sake, FALLOUT opened at $61m, so it’s not like Indiana Jones can’t pull that off. However, that’s still a huge drop from CRYSTAL SKULL. In spi…

  • I like Short Round. I don’t dislike Teddy. He’s a serviceable side kick to Helena, but he never annoys me.

  • It would be like getting Pierce Brosnan back for one more film as an older James Bond. It would certainly draw in Bond fans, particularly the older crowd, but I can’t imagine that generating as much excitement for broader audiences as casting a new …

  • Shia was cast because Spielberg liked him and saw raw talent that he thought he could temper, not because he was popular with younger audiences. For awhile he putting him into his Dreamworks productions, KOTCS was the only instance where Spielberg d…
  • Eon always had a script on hand that they would work on throughout their entire 60 year existence. For now, especially with the strike going, they’ll continue to play coy.
  • I never disliked Shia. In fact, I thought he had strong chemistry with Ford. If there’s any weakness, it’s that the movie doesn’t quite know what to do with Mutt by the time we reach South America because of the influx of other characters tagging al…
  • I’m pretty curious of how big M:I-7 will be. FALLOUT is their biggest hit, but it’s just hovering above NTTD, and no where close to SKYFALL. There’s hope from the studio that the goodwill from TOP GUN: MAVERICK will bleed over onto DEAD RECKONING, b…

  • I look forward to the new actress, I think she has that same vibe and energy Kidder had that made her a lovable Lois.
