Film and TV discussion

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

A fat suit and an actor's triumphant return? Hollywood eats that shit up.

Bring him back for another Mummy movie, along with the rest of the original cast, and *then* you're talking pure gold. But hard pass on the fat suit.

I completely missed The Banshees of Inisherin when it was released. I'll have to watch it on HBO Max.

So far this is what I'm rooting for, but only because I think Women Talking has no chance.

Well. That's a lot of stuff.

That made me go check to see if the Blue Beetle movie is still being released in August. (It is.)

a Batman and Robin (Damien) movie

I'm intrigued.

I'm still in burn-it-all-down mode. None of that is tempting enough to get me to pay to see it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The GoT in Themyscara show feels really unnecessary.

I'm also skeptical of "We're going to finally make Superman a bright paragon of hope and justice like he's meant to be, so we'll make Supergirl dark and broody instead."

ETA: I hope that them skipping straight to Damien as Robin means they'll still have the rest of the former Robins still be active in their current hero personas.

Tom King really, really, REALLY likes traumatizing his characters.

EDIT: He especially wants to traumatize characters that were previously known for being optimistic, like Wally and Dick and Kara.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

a Themyscira Game of Thrones-style series

GOT-style as in complex political intrigue with high production values or GOT-style as in "we're only showing you this much graphic rape because of how much we care about historical accuracy"

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

How much political intrigue is there supposed to be in a utopian isolated society of immortal women ruled by the same leader for over 3000 years?
