    I really liked the first one. Weird - but great - casting (esp. with Adam Brody, Henry Czerny & Andie MacDowell) - and it was simply better than it had any right to be.

    Oh wow - I remember that storyline (having bought it off the shelf) - and had no idea they did a 2nd printing. I thought about it lately because sometime in the last month I saw an auction house had an original art page for sale from # 445-447 - and it really irked me that they misidentified the antagonist as the KGBeast. Rather, it was his protege - the NYKDemon. Haven't read the books in 30+ years but they stuck with me - that whole run from 400-500 was truly amazing.

    That Reggie's still around is one of the best recurring jokes of the series.

    Absolutely wild that we might get this before Youngblood... or Prophet...which Liefeld has said has been in the works so long they might as well call it The Flash..

    This. And I saw the first half of 4. Plus, I like Goddard. He's a better writer than director, but he also gets a huge pass from me for his stellar work on Daredevil Season 1. Still not enough for me to get excited for another Matrix sequel.

    And Aquaman 2!

    Yes - this is my issue with Deadpool as well. Yes - Liefeld and Nicieza created his look, mannerisms and dialogue for at least his first two appearances (obvious Deathstroke plagiarism aside). But most of the defining characteristics of Deadpool as we know him today (the saracasm, breaking the 4th wall, etc.) came later - with Joe Kelly's run in the late '90s. So...does Joe Kelly deserves co-creator credit -- because it was his writing that made the character truly popular - and he (not Liefeld) wrote some of the most enduring characteristics of the character? Should Jim Lee be given co-creator status for Psylocke - since British Betsy Braddock with the purple hood is so radically different from the Japanese assassin we first meet in X-Men # 256-258 - and who later appeared in the X-Men movies?

    This. Seems mad shady to wait that long, *particularly* after not only the deaths of the primary folks who could refute his claims but also after Wolverine had already appeared in more than half a dozen films. As many self help gurus have stated, "Ideas are cheap - execution is what matters." Here, the execution was the character and costume designs - as well as dialogue - created in Hulk 180-182.

    Having read the article, I don't think Thomas's suggestion to 1) call him Wolverine and 2) have him be Canadian are enough to warrant co-creator credit. Totally different situation from say...Gambit, where it's understood that Jim Lee created the visuals for the character, despite not having drawn either of his first two appearances (X-Men Annual 14 or X-Men 266).

    If true, I’m good with it. His performance in Bullet Train changed my opinion of him as an actor - if Layer Cake was Craig’s audition for Bond, I think Bullet Train was Johnson’s. Either way, I might actually pay to see Kraven in the theater.

    Renault: "What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?" Rick: "My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters." Renault: "The waters? What waters? We're in a desert." Rick: "I was misinformed."

    I can't wait! Hope they do it justice.

    I remember the print ads back in the day where he had a seemingly endless supply of Comico Primer # 2.

    Maybe they can just skip The Horse and His Boy and The Magician's Nephew? I'd be more than okay with books 1-4, then The Last Battle.

    Yeah - The Onion did a hard look at the math as well, but the real gold is in the comments section. https://www.avclub.com/rebel-moon-barbie-more-people-zack-snyder-1851317028

    Ahem! 3 good movies. Margin Call All Is Lost A Most Violent Year

    Did she not read the project's "script?" Also, you'd think she'd be happy with this one -- with a Rotten Tomatoes critics' score of 21% positive, it was a *lot* better received than "The Mummy" (just 15% positive).

    Congrats to Timothee Chalomet for having the # 1 (Dune 2) and # 8 (Wonka) films at the box office this weekend. Dude really is this generation's DiCaprio.

    I don't think I ever finished New Mutants... Was extraordinarily stoked for that one based on the trailer, but by the time I finally tried to watch it via streaming years later, it just wasn't worth the time to complete. At least Jonah Hex and Ghost Rider (1 and 2) were all in the "so bad they're good" categories.

    ?

    That's truly weird - given that it's Warner Bros' # 5 highest-grossing film post-Covid.
  24. Gatsby77
    It's insane that Aquaman 2 will already be streaming on Max while Wonka - which was a released a week earlier - is still rocking the top 10 in theaters and playing on more than 2,300 screens.

    Again - not trying for spoilers, but if what's revealed in that Pitch Meeting episode is true... What were they thinking??
