    Just a heads up since it was mentioned earlier. Black Mirror is currently on sale over at Comixology. Everyone who doesn't already have it, should pick it up.

    Well I think a bunch of us were pretty wary of it for a while

    The casting was good but the second Trank started talking about his influences I was basically out

    I have some nights off coming up, we should watch the 1994 Corman version of Fantastic Four on a stream or something. At least Corman had the courtesy to make it SO bad it's kinda good.

    The Doom in that movie at least looks and acts like Doom

    Maybe the Doom who would toot the sea horn, but Doom all the same!

    I know I've posted this before, but DOOM demands it.

    No matter how that movie turns out, I gotta hand it to Ryan Reynolds for really committing to Deadpool to the max.

    There's something kind of amazing about the juxtapostion of this vs. "geeze Victor what are you some kind of Doctor Doom"

    Ok, I didn't think the Thor movie was going to be good, but I saw it and said "You know, this was probably as good as they could do given the source material." Then I heard later about the influences of the director and such, and how the people involved in the movie knew that it was really about Loki (this was my little fan theory for a while, but it was nice to hear).

    I am convinced that for hollywood to make a good fantastic four movie, they need to build it around Doom.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again

    Just adapt the Books of Doom into a movie

    Make it an origin story, but of the villain rather than the heroes, because that's all anyone wants anyways

    Cast Mads Mikkelsen, have it end with him becoming properly Dr. Doom and the Fantastic Four coming to stop him, and then you can make some FF movies if you want, but you've got the important stuff out of the way first, and it puts a spin on the first-in-a-franchise superhero movie model that makes it more intriguing for people

    Shit, you could just call it Doom

    Apparently Doom is only in the last fifteen minutes of the movie as well.

    Sounds like a train wreck that everyone saw coming. Now to wait another seven years for Fox to make a rights-grab movie again.

    I will say this for WB/Fox

    Even if the movies they make are shit they have by and large done a great job of casting them

    The only big bad decision I can think of is Leto as Joker

    eh, other than Jordan, i don't think anything about the cast seemed very exciting

    even all the racist nonsense aside, i don't remember anyone really saying they got a great cast together

    I think Miles Teller could have been a great Ultimate Reed Richards

    Mara I have no real opinion on but she's definitely a step up from Jessica Alba

    And Jamie Bell is a good actor but not really a great fit for Ben Grimm

    i think it would've been more exciting to see Jordan as Reed rather than Johnny. he's a great actor but his Johnny just looks to be a retread of his character from Chronicle

    i think Reed woulda given him more of a challenge and coulda been something really special

    I just realized his character was struck by lightning and briefly wondered if that also counted as part of the trope.

    Given the reports that all the military stuff in the trailers is missing from the movie, they must have cut an entire second act action sequence.

    I finally saw Ant-Man and I think I may put it third in the MCU pantheon, behind Cap 2 and Avengers. That movie just clicked for me on just about every level, especially the Michaels, Peña and Douglas. I really thought going in that this was being sent out to die, but the movie completely bought into every facet of the concept and while it was silly as hell it was really fun.

    Like the end of that said, there's also a red band trailer.

    NSFW, obviously:
    Mostly the same jokes, but a little more swearing and some digital blood, and some nudity too. *shrug*
