    if anything iron man proved that the way to sell superhero movies that aren't, you know, batman, is to remember that they're fucking superhero movies and shouldn't take themselves so god damned seriously

    Shit, didn't Thor make $450 million? And it was great! Just make a fucking Superman movie with the same tone as Thor!

    look, the idea that a character is too goofy to star in a blockbuster is patently false in a world where transformers is a blockbuster franchise

    Yeah.

    Just to be clear. I was being sarcastic there. I don't think IM should have been Dark. That would be terrible.

    WB aren't exactly good at learning from Marvel's films. Their "Iron Man" attempt with Green Lantern was a disaster. They've been lucky they have Nolan around otherwise their entire DC film roster would still be a trainwreck.

    shit, warner bros. aren't even learning from fox

    they already rebooted x-men, essentially, and did a damned good job of making that work, in spite of everything

    amazing spider-man looks promising

    hell, they're even making an effort with the new wolverine movie

    I know the reasoning behind those movies is "well we need to put these out so we can keep the license," but they at least don't seem to be half-assing them

    They are making a sequel to twins with Eddie Murphy.
    One of these things is not like the other. Actually, none of these things are like any of the other…and that’s what made the premise of Ivan Reitman’s 1988 film Twins work. But how do you further capitalize on the hilarious assumption that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are twin brothers? Add in Eddie Murphy as a long-lost sibling and call it Triplets. Currently, there is no director attached, but Reitman will produce the project via his Montecito Picture Co. The sequel is in the process of recruiting writers as no substantial creative talks have occurred yet
    WHAT THE FUCK

    You know what? I'll allow it.

    It's at least an unsual idea for a sequel, and the mix of Devito, Arnold and Murphy could be funny.

    I mean, if Hollywood is going to be uncreative, I'd rather they make a shitty sequel to Twins than reboot fucking Short Circuit.

    Amy Adams being Lois is fantastic casting. She's always a highlight in the films she's in.

    The casting was excellent throughout.

    It's pretty amazing how quickly the internet narrative turned when we started getting pictures.

    kate bosworth or whoever was like, 20, with a pulitzer, and like, a seven year old

    Eddie Murphy just needs a good R-rated script to make up for all the shit movies he's done.

    OK not all of them but it's a start.

    Look, we already got a bright and happy Batman in the form of Adam West.

    Let's give dark and edgy Superman a shot!
    BREAK YOU

    Let me share my ideas on Transformers...

    transformers are allowed to be dark and edgy

    they're also allowed to be extremely light harded
    they belong in a spectrum

    No, my reboot is about humans that can morph into cars.

    we are not bringing back turbo teen

    Pitching to a studio exec. Gonna make it a movie.

    I have a better idea, have them revive Vanpires. Cast several beautiful boys and one plain girl.

    You don't have to make Superman's costume all super textured and stylized and whatever they're trying to do there. For Batman, yeah, taking a lot more liberties from what he looks like in the comic makes sense if you're trying to make it live action. A mortal human would need something that actually looks like it's probably quite armored and protective. But Supes? What the hell. Dude is in-fucking-vulnerable. Yeah, they should maybe make it a bit nicer than Reeve's or Cain's outfit, but they don't have to put that much effort into it. This new suit is just overkill.

    My favorite superman costume is the one from the cover of the new Action Comics #1. Well, that or just something iconic and simple.

    Also where is his underpants on that suit?

    He's supposed to wear those on the outside!

    One of my favourite scenes in Lois and Clark is when Clark is on he phone to his mother doing his laundry and she asks.

    Well what type of stain is it?

    I don't know, a bomb stain?

    Wearing underpants on the outside would make a funny opening midnight option for regular clothes.

    While he is capable in staging and such he has issues regarding giving actions scenes stakes.

    There are times when underpants on the outside are inappropriate.

    Mostly funerals and weddings.

    Probably job interviews.
