Her death was announced by her family this morning. The legendary singer and musician has been plagued by mental health problems her entire life and she suffered from the suicide of her 17 year old son in 2022. No cause of death has been disclosed. She was 56 years old.
MCU's golden age has long past. As for the future, people will go see movies if the movie is actually good and worth seeing. Barbie and Oppenheimer proved that.
DC's plans are a new universe headed by Gunn and Elsewords so directors like Matt Reeves and Todd Phillips can make their own movies. Reeves has a whole Bat-Verse he is mapping out. One television series is being filmed on The Penguin and another one or two more planned. Plus Parts II and III of The Batman.
I actually think Joker was lightning in the bottle and it is a 50/50 chance Joker 2 will bomb. Again it depends if the movie is actually good. Streaming has become such a major factor that people will skip going to the movies because they can wait until it hits streaming or digital.
Quality over quantity. In the last five or six years how many good movies have WB made with DC? Wonder Woman, Aquama, The Suicide Squad, The Batman. Best comic book film this year is Across the Spider-Verse hands down.
First film in the DCU reboot.
Director: James Gunn
Superman/Clark Kent: David Corenswet
Lois Lane: Rachel Broshanthan
Nathan Fillion: Guy Gardner/Green Lantern
Isabela Merced: Hawkgirl
Edith Gathegi: Mister Terrific
Anthony Carrigan: Metamorpho
This will NOT be an origin story. It will focus on Superman's early career and judging from the cast this may be a team up movie. Gunn once again brings in comic book characters relatively obscure to the general audiences but well known to fans.
Comic book inspiration is All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison. One of the best Superman stories ever written and some of the best artwork.
People's faith in DC is pretty much at an all time low. The Flash is the worse box office disaster in comic book history with Aquaman 2 looking to top it. Hopefully this will get people back into theaters and after what Gunn did with Guardians and Peacemaker, he can revive the DCU.
I felt this band has never been the same since Izzy left.
I am glad Slash and Axl can finally grow old together. And suck together. But hey at least we got some new music....like two years ago.
Talk about T.V. Shows, latest episodes, what to watch, what to binge on. Like the film thread but with T.V. Currently watching Sherlock, starting season two tomorrow. Then will start watching Breaking Bad.
Poll is divided in Old Series and New Series. I have only watched the New Series and as much as I loved Tennent (Tenth) Matt Smith has been awesome, especially the second half of Series 7 which I find rather weak. He makes it worth watching.
