Olivia Munn is quite the annoying NTP66 isn't she?
She had to stand near a convicted sex offender for a while and say some lines! You can't imagine what that's like!
All news about the new predator movie is about this. I don't think this is what they had in mind when promoting the movie the last 2 weeks. Wonder how much of an effect it's going to have
So far the reviews aren't good. Probably time to just let the series die.[/quote]

I liked the Brody vehicle quite a bit. Some movies aren’t made to be huge franchises and I’d say Predator is one of those.

Sounds like the new Halloween movie is awesome
I was lucky to get into a screening.

It's amazing. Best since the original hands down. You will not be disappointed.
This is good news. Halloween is a top 3 horror movie for me.
I saw The Predator. There's a great movie in there somewhere, but the final product is very sloppy. It feels like someone went in and randomly removed chunks of scenes throughout the whole thing. It's so choppy. You can feel what's Black & Dekker and what are studio notes.

Oh, I didn't realize that was that guy. Haha..... it says it right there in the guy's info. Derp.

Who was Harry over there? I though Harry and Quint were the same. My goodness, what a bad take on my part.

Follow-up to that twitter post above:
I'll give The Predator this: It's probably the most unapologetically gory franchise film to come out in years. The pieces that feel like Shane Black really shine through, especially the character work. Just wish the movie felt more... complete. Sterling K. Brown was the MVP.

So reading more into this Munn deal, is the issue not with her actually working with the guy, but that she brought up having to work with a sexual predator and then getting shunned from the rest of the cast and crew about it being no big deal?

I read an article the other day that said basically most of the cast left the event/place they were all at when she brought this stuff up, and that the rest of the cast weren’t actually shunning her. A number of them actually reached out to her to support her.

Members of the cast also bailed on at least two joint press events with her. (Toronto Film Festival, and a Hollywood Reporter interview)

Also while looking him up, I read that the bad guy from Howard the Duck (Ferris bueller principal) was arrested for underage pictures
Yeah. Oddly enough I mostly remember him as Satan in the excellent early 90s movie Stay Tuned.

Bohemian Rhapsody update that I didn't know until this afternoon: The music executive complaining about the length of the song is played by Mike Myers.

Which moves me to say that, Amadeus, my favorite film of all time, has the dude from Animal House, Ferris Bueller, and some unknown actress plus F. Murray Pretentious as the leads.

Epic.

He didn't really have much to work with. He was fine, but the movies were ****. Man of Steel is mostly garbage and it's still one of the better DCU movies behind Wonder Woman.

Yeah, I don't think the negatives surrounding those movies were his fault. I think he fits that mold quite well, so I'm not sure would be a suitable replacement for him.

I really like Cavill as Superman, he just never really had anything to work with. The rumors of him trying to recruit Christopher McQuarrie to handle the next Superman movie gave me hope he'd get a real shot before his time was up. The THR article says the studio wants to focus on introducing Supergirl. Yawn. Get out of here with your pandering of an inferior character.

It's truly amazing how much of a mess the DCEU has become. The only thing keeping it alive is that Gal Gadot is basically perfect and everyone loves her as Wonder Woman. Other than that, their big team up bombed, they've lost their Batman and Superman, can't get a Flash movie off the ground, Aquaman looks questionable, they've somehow thought that doing alternate universe movies at the same time is a good idea, and yesterday there were rumors that the studio wants to cast no acting range manlet Jon Snow as Batman. Disastrous.

Shazam looks good, but they can make that a standalone if necessary. Just retcon everything while keeping Gal around.

Maybe this opens Cavill up to be the next Bond?
