Margot Robbie is starring in a Pirates of the Caribbean soft reboot (same world, different characters), written by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey, Bumblebee).
Amy had never seen Hackers, so I cued it up on the satellite tv and we watched it just now.
She (rightly) was disappointed. Even when it got to the best part (the spinning phone booths), I couldn't convince her that it was actually a cinematic masterpiece instead of bad 90s cheese.
It's so good.
The inexplicably long skateboard ride to grab the disc makes me laugh every time.
I also use the line, "I hid it in that place I put that thing one time" as often as possible.
Margot Robbie is starring in a Pirates of the Caribbean soft reboot (same world, different characters), written by Christina Hodson (Birds of Prey, Bumblebee).
While plot details are being kept in Davey Jones’ locker, the project, in early development, is not intended to be a spinoff of the long-running franchise that had pirate Jack Sparrow at its center but rather a wholly original story with new characters under the Pirates moniker, itself inspired by the long-running attraction at Disneyland.
The new project is said to be separate from the already announced reboot of the popular franchise that has Pirates scribe Ted Elliott and Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin developing the story.

I would rather not see Johnny Depp in movies again, but you're probably not wrong

Didn't it kinda come out that Depp was mostly a victim rather than a perpetrator of domestic violence? I mean, he's still mostly just an entitled pile of hats and scarves surrounded by yes men feeding him drugs, but I think the whole Amber Heard situation was kinda absolved.

speaking of skeletons, I recently re-watched all the Sam Raimi spider-mans, and I don't think we talk enough about how green goblin literally kills like five guys with a skeleton bomb
I find Toby Maguire to be a very difficult screen presence so I struggle with the Raimi spidermens but I do like that nasty flavour he gets in there such as skeleton bomb

I generally liked Tobey Maguire like twenty years ago, when these movies came out, but upon re-watch I found him to be more like some kind of animated putty-covered bird-being than a human actor

That’s the response I see every time this gets brought up but I never see a citation. I do t know what to do here. I believe firmly in supporting victims of spousal assault and I’m open to the idea that they were both very toxic to each other but from my perspective what seems to happen is someone will point to new information that came out and everybody will dismiss it and insist that Depp is still the(or an) asshole here without pointing to any reason.
I am extremely leery of the chance of taking either side when right now it feels reasonably likely that either was actually the victim of abuse at the others hands.

That was the weirdest decision in a movie of weird decisions. It felt like such a scriptwriting hand-wave.
"Okay, so the first thing he does is murder those board members that kicked him out. He throws those little bombs, right? So he kills them with bombs."
"But if he just bombs the place, how do we show they're dead? In movies bombs just kinda throw you a few feet in the air. We can't show them all blown to pieces, it's PG-13. And they're on the balcony, if he blows up the balcony how do we kill those five guys but let Spider-man save MJ?"
"I dunno, it's a magic science-bomb, okay? Just make sure we know they're dead."
"Okay, what if it... turns them into skeletons?"
"Great. But just those five guys."
Yeah then he gets on a motorcycle so he can get to the hospital as fast as he can before he dies and turns into a ghost

fun fact that most people don't know. tobey maguire and nick cage are the same person. face off was originally gonna be about the process nick goes through in removing the tobey prosthetic face bits
I would love to get a chance to peek in on the alternate reality where Depp wasn't possibly an abusive fuck and was working alongside Robbie in a PotC movie. Those two would play off each other so, so well.

I'm not gonna lie and say a lot of his early work wasn't formative for me, but the persona he has cultivated at this point(even ignoring the abusiveness) is fucking exhausting
he desperately wants you to know he is johnny depp

I'd maybe believe that if it was another director.
But not Sam Raimi.

yeah no he absolutely decided at some point that the green goblin should have a skeleton bomb, 100%

Reboots and endless franchises are...draining but
Fuck, I wanna watch that

I don't even think there's like, popular demand anymore, is there
She's starring in it, so I would sure hope that she's not the Jack Sparrow analogue
The problem with PotC aside from the weird racist stuff was mistaking Jack Sparrow for the main character.
I'm so fucking happy right now

Both Goblins preferred the "detonate most of Spider-Man's mask so we can have dramatic close ups" pumpkin bomb variant.
Good point, he'd better set spider-man's head on fire afterwards to be sure

Sam Raimi out of the gate wants skeletons.
It features a fight scene in which the villain inhabits a skeleton to fight Xena.
Xena then reveals that the fight is actually in a dreamscape and then tears off her skin to reveal her own skeleton.
And then two skeletons have a kung-fu fight.
Sam Raimi: dedicated skeleton fan.
I don't think it was. Or at least not with those flaps rolled up like that.
