    Good job Hollywood. Bravo!

    I guess this could be a spoiler, but
    I'm pretty sure it's actually a sequel.

    I remember my mother was so excited for the original and so disappointed when she saw it. She was a big fan of Kiefer back in the day.

    Subject change: Movies with Mikey is officially on the ballot for Emmy nominations! It doesn't mean he's actually up for an Emmy, but MwM is on the ballot for Information Series or Special. Good stuff! He actually recently announced he had to leave Gearbox due to his health issues, so MwM is now his full-time gig via Patreon.

    This changes things for me. Now I'm slightly interested in it. Wish the trailer made me feel better about it though.

    I watched Kickboxer: Vengeance. I thought that it would have to be an ok genre movie, because it has Bautista and JCVD in it. This was a faulty hypothesis. The fighting isn't bad (and JCVD can still really pull that stuff off) but the writing is bad even by the standards of the genre, and some of the acting is atrocious.

    the final fight scene
    is a full half hour long, and there's no back and forth. It's Bautista kicking seven shades of shit out of the hero for the entire time. Which makes sense, because the hero is never set up as being particularly good at fighting and loses the only other real fight he gets in (against some bar schlub). This fight goes way beyond Rocky IV levels of "this guy should have died by now". It's thirty solid minutes of him getting pounded into the dirt. He may as well have gotten run over by a pickup truck.

    Then Adkins starts winning, for some reason, and then he wins. Because fuck it. It's unconvincing and unbelievable even by martial arts film standards.

    Huh, if that poster reflects the finished design, I'm kinda surprised they are swinging so close (or using) the Legendary Godzilla design.

    It's about a Expeditionary force returning to Earth after abandoning it centuries before due to climate change and also Godzilla only to find it is now overrun with Kaiju and an even older and more pissed off Godzilla

    I'm not sure what the production time on anime films is like these days, but it seems likely that the anime began production a lot closer to Godzilla 2014 than Shin Goji, that would explain it.

    Small point of distinction/clarification - he's on the Emmy ballots, meaning he's eligible to be nominated.

    It's still very, very cool! But he isn't nominated quite yet.

    This is really weird! Both Disney and Pixar do shorts before their movies these days, but up till now Disney goes in front of Disney and Pixar sticks with Pixar

    Also I'm pretty sure 21 minutes is their longest short by a significant margin

    nah, he had an infinity stone palmed all along. Benicio Del Toro just couldn't be bothered to show up before the credits.

    I saw It Comes at Night this afternoon. I found it to be pretty good and very tense, I don't want to say more because people should see it with as little info as possible.

    Our theater had maybe two dozen people in it (3:10 on a Tuesday probably isn't high time anyway), and their reaction to the ending was worth the price of admission alone.

    During the credits they have Jai Courtney in a split screen dance-off with footage of young JCVD in the original.

    I love how the setting of that film was basically hand-crafted to give the leader of the rebellion (Played by Dennis Leary) an excuse to have Dennis Leary rants.

    I think it's Scott Adkins?

    The film also has the line "Tong Po! I challenge you to a fight!" and it's precisely as bad as whatever the worst line reading for that you can imagine is.

    What we've waited 20 years for has finally come: Joel Schumacher apologizes for Batman & Robin
    Vice wrote:
    The rubberized butt shot was the first scene to catch me off guard; I remember being a teen when I saw Batman's rubber molded ass on film in '97 and two things happened to me that day. One, I learned the value of money because I had spent six dollars on a Batman & Robin ticket, and two, I realised I needed to talk to the person responsible for this mess—director Joel Schumacher.

    Twenty years later, mission accomplished.

    "Look, I apologize," Schumacher told me in a phone interview last week. "I want to apologize to every fan that was dissapointed, because I think I owe them that."

    The apology seemed like a good way to start because Batman & Robin was terrible, not by my DC fanboy standards, but by historical standards. It was so bad in fact that the main star and co-star went on the record stating as much, "It was a difficult film to be good in," said George Clooney in an interview with Total Film. And later, Chris O'Donnell said, "On Batman Forever, I felt like I was making a movie. The second time, I felt like I was making a kid's toy."

    When I look back at the 20th anniversary of Batman & Robin, I'm still reminded of the cringe-fest that the 1997 film was, compared to previous iterations of Batman—and I'm including the campy 1960s live-action show. Batman & Robin ignored the popular direction that Tim Burton took with his brooding Batman and went with a colourful, Vegas-styled vision rife with bat-ice-skates, sky surfing, and bat nipples.

    I wondered what the man that made great films like The Lost Boys, 8mm, A Time to Kill, Phone Booth, and Batman Forever (not great but not terrible) was thinking and thankfully, Joel Schumacher was willing to talk to VICE and shed some light on the making of the film.

    Why not just play music on the set? It doesn't have to be loud, just audible. They're gonna redo the audio completely anyway, right?
