    General turned gladiator, where have we seen that before?  Sounds like this will suffer the standard sequel trap of being too much like the original, should ascend straight to the pantheon of sequels no one asked for or wanted to see.

    However...my opinion will quickly change if Denzel isn't actually in the movie and is instead just doing the voice for the dog with the shifty eyes.

    Amazon Prime's FALLOUT series starring Walton Goggins (4/12/24)

    I'm into the third ep and so far..

    Spoiler

    I don't like the whole Maximus storyline.  No explanation on why they were beating the carp out of him in the beginning.  His acting during the interrogation was terrible, made it seem like he was guilty.  Why did they make him a squire?  Then he takes an oath and is super into being part of the brotherhood, and he lets the knight die, making him instantly unlikable as a character.  And making the reason why he lets him die as the knight's bluffing about him being strung up is stupid.  Then he contemplated killing the new squire when he arrived and nearly did, again not a likable character.

    And then there is Lucy, who's smiley everything is going to be okay and totally calm attitude belies her upbringing in the vault.  She has yet to show any true emotion, fear or even disgust like when she chops the dudes head off.  She passed a two headed cow in the street and didn't even look twice!! :makepoint:

    I'll keep watching because they did the landscape pretty well and I like The Ghoul.

    WB's JOKER: THE SEQUEL directed by Todd Phillips (TBD)

    Is Joker 2 really going to be a musical … ?

    Joker (Jacques Demy’s Version) Folie à Deux will, in fact, be a musical. And it might have even more music than you expected. On March 22, Variety reported that the movie leans toward being “mostly a jukebox musical” — to the tune of at least 15 covers of “very well-known songs,” including “That’s Entertainment.” Insiders said one or two original songs might also make the final soundtrack. Ominous reports of a musical sequel first emerged in August 2022, when an insider told Variety that the sequel has “complicated musical sequences” that are more in line with A Star Is Born than In the Heights.

    Leaked on-set footage appeared to confirm the threat of show tunes. The videos were taken in New York on March 31, 2023 and show Lady Gaga performing a rendition of “A Couple of Swells,” the Fred Astair and Judy Garland duet from the 1948 musical Easter Parade. Phoenix was not filmed singing, but it’s only a matter of time before we see him doing jazz squares down the Joker steps.
