In 1968 the Banana Splits (kid-friendly animal characters named Bingo, Fleegle, Drooper and Snorky) were introduced as part of the Hanna-Barbera variety program The Banana Splits Adventure Hour
It's being revived as a horror thriller film, with digital media release from Warner Home Entertainment and airing on Syfy soon after
A boy named Harley and his family (brother Austin, mother Beth, and father Mitch) attend a taping of The Banana Splits TV show, which is supposed to be a fun-filled birthday for young Harley and business as usual for Rebecca, the producer of the series. But things take an unexpected turn — and the body count quickly rises. Can Harley, his mom and their new pals safely escape?
Stars Dani Kind (Wynonna Earp), Finlay Wojtak-Hissong (Kindness of Strangers), Romeo Carere, Steve Lund (Schitt’s Creek) and Sara Canning (Vampire Diaries)
Directed by Danishka Esterhazy (Level 16)
Would they do it as a retro style so it takes place in the late 60's early 70's as I feel visually would fit but I feel they are going to do the knock off five nights a poor copy

Are they still making the Five Nights at Freddy's movie?
I mean that’s been the secret trajectory of Bond’s over the years.
They purposely choose actors they don’t think is bigger than the character.
Well either that, or any actor worth that money is secure enough that they don’t need Bond money and the baggage it comes with, so they have to go the B+/A- route
They had to offer Daniel Craig an obscene amount of money for him to come back again. Something like 50 million pounds, iirc? I think he said he intends to use it to fund a charitable foundation or something.
I liked how the story was in the last couple of Bond movies just not how it played out as that seemed forced and poorly thought of as if they worked backwards from the reveal to the loose ends of Spectre he was chasing down or finding.
It would be neat to do again but having Bond with a personal stake in it seems disjointed
I would like to see James Bond that isn’t so deeply rooted in Cold War toxic masculinity, but then my knee jerk to that idea is “then just make it it’s own thing”, but then I hear the wailing chorus of marketing execs howling “BRAAAAAANDIIIIIIIIING!!!”
My interior monologue is less Shakespeare and more like a subway station in New York at rush hour.
No, I did not flee. I kept watching. And now I know why people talked about
the car scene
the way that they did. Because see my first line above. That they actually went for it and showed the aftermath a little later was ... yeah, first line above.
I thought people said this was more unsettling than anything else, but they were liars, or I’m confusing it with The VVitch. I clearly was confusing it with The VVitch.
Edit: I’m only 40 minutes in. How much is one person supposed to ta—oh, two hours, that seems reasonable. :rotate:
I’m actually gonna put content warnngs for Hereditary in a spoiler because I think it’s worth warning some of the more sensitive folks around here, but it’s a plot sensitive thing.

I spoiled myself on Hereditary and I'm glad I did because I have always been completely unable to engage with plots that involve
demonic possession.
No idea why! I happily accept all manner of equally unlikely things in films on the regular, but for whatever reason that one just totally kills my ability to enjoy a film. Ruined
I just saw the suggestion of Robert Pattinson as the new Batman and hoo boy I like it
His career the past few years has shown he's fuckin good and also possesses the specific flavor of weird, borderline unhinged energy you want in a Batman
Also, that's Bruce Wayne:

I couldn’t see Pattinson chomping at the bit to play a character in another big franchise, tbh. He seems content to seek out the weirder / less mainstream directors and do their stuff. Not saying he wouldn’t be good, though!

Hard to say whether thats his choice or just the only ones that will take him between his TV sitcom star level of recognizability, the legion of people who might be squeamish about going to a movie staring the twilight guy, and the open contempt he showed towards twilight the entire time he was meant to be advertising it.
I’m going to need . . . a lot of time to process Hereditary. But my immediate thought is that it’s one of the best horror films I’ve ever seen, on many levels, and it absolutely got fucking snubbed by not being nominated for Best Picture.

The exception is Adam West, but he had eyebrows painted on his cowl so it counts

The music is so damn good! I’ll be on the lookout for the eventual Mondo vinyl release (or whoever they work with that does those).
Do you know Colin Stetson’s work outside of Hereditary? He’s amazing. He’s a saxophone player who uses circular breathing to play these beautiful sustained arpeggio pieces. But also sing through the instrument. And sometimes use it percussively. He’s been around for years, so when his signature sound comes in right at the climax of Hereditary, my mind was pretty blown.

Isn't that movie not out for like another month?

two weeks from this Friday, actually
I feel like the phenomenon is swiftly waning.
More like harnessing that Five Nights at Freddy's energy
They had to offer Daniel Craig an obscene amount of money for him to come back again. Something like 50 million pounds, iirc? I think he said he intends to use it to fund a charitable foundation or something.
To be a true five nights movie it should just come out all of a sudden and in half the theaters stop working for no real reason.

Oh just wait
That’s like, early, right?
The movie only gets more and more fucked up so you probably picked a good spot to flee if you wanted to sleep for the next week or so.
No, I did not flee. I kept watching. And now I know why people talked about

And when you do, listen to this:
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
I don't know if I'd call that the craziest thing in Die Another Day.
The villain controlling a solar-laser cannon from space with an M.Bison electricity breastplate might be though.

Most charismatic Bruce Wayne yet

I kind of like him better as The Joker.
Edit: Yeah, the more I look at him the more it seems like he’s got a lot of the sharp features of TAS Joker.
Yes, I'm comparing him to the dude in Gotham.
