  1. Just scrolling through old threads, and if there are any movie producers out there reading this... Christopher probably wasn't Two-Face. But he was near as dammit a real-life James Bond - and as one of Fleming's friends, may have been a bit of an inspiration. So I would quite like to see a movie or TV series about Christopher Lee, Nazi Hunter. He was attached to SOE for a time during WW2 as well as RAF Intelligence, and then spent a couple of years tracking down escaped SS scum. Are there any current actors out there who could do tall, dark and evilly attractive (as well as that baritone?)
  2. ...that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.
  3. I don't go out and buy actual comics/graphic novels often, let alone preorder months ahead. But the subject is a true superbeing, seemingly invincible to the last, who could outfight Lobo, outdrink the Thing, out-wisecrack Deadpool, and had conquered more demons than fellow Brit John Constantine. It can only be... Ian Fraser Kilminster. https://z2comics.com/products/no-remorse-the-illustrated-true-stories-of-lemmy-kilmister-and-motorhead-hardcover/ As told by a large number of his friends and associates, including Lita Ford, Lars Ulrich, Neil Gaiman, "Philthy" Phil Campbell, Dee Snider, Triple H and Corey Graves of WWE, and some young upstart named Dave Grohl. Each story will also have a different illustration team on it. If you've got serious cash to splash (I don't), this also comes with a limited-edition vinyl copy of 1984's No Remörse best-of album, which you should be playing loud enough to kill your neighbours' lawn.
  4. Even if the Bat isn't in it per se, I suspect he'll be some kind of lurking threat/presence.
  5. Probably a cigar made from the dried and rolled leaves of stolen human lives, like most billionaire investors.* EDIT: reminds me of one of my favourite gags from The Mentalist: PAT: ...surely you don't think she's a witch? KIM: If dark forces did exist, stands to reason there could be people who control them for their own ends. PAT: They're called investment bankers, and they don't live around here, I assure you. Being in startups, I know two billionaires realtime. And yes, one's a bit of a pillock with a taste - or lack thereof - for sparkly things he likes to own but not use: and the other is a genuinely terrifying character I don't like being in the company of for multiple reasons. Neither shows an interest in the appropriate things I feel they should be doing, such as donating to hospitals, helping out the arts, building new technology, or patrolling the streets of London in high-tech armour while nursing multiple psychoses. Though given how scary the latter one is, I think he might make a fine Joker or Kingpin. And m'learned coll' Ghost is correct, I was just trying not to use the "W" word. *bonus points if you know that reference
  6. Yes. There are varied dates on the rumour mill for a movie, but Thanksgiving 2025 was one of them - which would be one hell of a rush if true. This isn't entirely Kevin or anyone's fault. I sometimes talk boringly about the biz side of things, but one of the pressures the Mouse is under right now is a chap called Nelson Peltz. He is a high-profile "activist investor" - someone who deliberately stirs around companies to extract "shareholder value", ie dividends or increased stock price - and is less than shy about trashing the management publicly and privately to get their way. If he succeeds in persuading shareholders to vote two of his minions onto the Disney board, expect some major changes, quite a lot of sell-offs, and Disney a much leaner but lesser company afterwards. Amongst many, many other things, he has started to Have Opinions about what kind of movies Marvel should be making. I'll admit he's not wrong that Marvel have had a pretty awful run of form at the box office the last few times out, but I'd focus on... well... poor story choices and rushed development, rather than... erm... casting choices. Making better movies, with plot, and characters, and heart and soul, would get better results. It's possible that they'll begin the crossover in the Secret Wars arc, assuming that the DPvWolvie movie doesn't rewrite canon of its own accord, or in another Marvels movie: and given the Kang Dynasty has come to an abrupt end, anything could happen. I do like the idea of Jubilee and/or Gambit as your "introducing the audience" focus characters. I'm assuming there are some expectations (audience and otherwise) that Wolvie will be in it somewhere, though probably not Hugh. Kamala has also been flagged as a mutant, first half-jokingly, then as canon. I'd quite like to see them pull in some really leftfield ones as well, like X-Stacy, Sunspot or Honey Badger.
  7. Just for once, I've gone the other way round. This is the Star card from the AI tarot deck I made... ...and this is (after much trial and error with available names)... Lady Starheart. Could use being able to move the star badge to the chest (and maybe need to choose a different, slightly more armoured top...) but yep, that works.
  8. So here’s me getting in really early on a movie… Since Q4 last year, Marvel have been taking open script pitches for a new X-Men flick. So far, nobody has been appointed; and Marvel needs an out and out hit. If I’m already disappointed in this, it’s simply because the release date is supposed to be already scheduled and marketing budgeted, without even a concept in place. That seems… unwise. So if you fancied giving it a go… …what would you do? Would you adapt a classic arc or do something completely new? Who would be in your squad, your leads, and your antagonist(s)?
  9. One of the many fine things about Matt Reeves’ The Batman was Colin Farrell’s transformation into one Oswald Cobblepot - and it’s rare these days when you want to see more of a villain. So, you got it. The series picks up a week after the movie ends… SPOILERS FOR BOTH THE MOVIE AND SERIES BELOW… There’s not much to go on beyond the teaser (plus the in-production original teaser from 2023 below) and cast notes at this point. Matt Reeves is only EP on this, but the directors and writers have some decent creds to their names. What do we think?
  10. I can see that. Just rewatched a clip of the original, and it looks like she's wearing hard contacts in that too. Maybe we just never noticed without the hi-def closeup? Also, her eyes seem to change colour a lot depending on the role. Maybe it's one of her transformational schticks? https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/features/1156880-the-10-best-catherine-ohara-faces Happily, not this time - and since Tim loves him some stop-motion (which worked well for the weird/creepy in the original), why change? Per Keaton's People interview, it's all practical FX as far as they can get away with it: The one thing that he and I decided on early, early, early on from the beginning, if we ever did it again, I was totally not interested in doing something where there was too much technology. It had to feel handmade. What made it fun was watching somebody in the corner actually holding something up for you, to watch everybody in the shrunken head room and say, "Those are people under there, operating these things, trying to get it right." It's the most exciting thing. When you get to do that again after years of standing in front of a giant screen, pretending somebody's across the way from you, this is just enormous fun. Dafoe's also mentioned that - and says he only signed on for No Way Home because they let him do proper stunts. There seems to be some green-screen fatigue with actors these days, or frustration with not having enough to do (David Harbour just did the AOTD game remake - he's had full mo-cap done for What If S3, but wound up just doing face cap for AOTD, and prefers being able to do the whole thing.) There is also the point that a guy with a rubber glove pretending to be a rogue plate of prawns is gonna cost significantly less than one CGI tech and fifty hours of renderfarm these days. And if your actors don't mind masks, gag blood, wirework, body squibs and props - Keaton clearly loves 'em - go for it.
  11. Thanks, Moogs. …aaaanywaaaay… yes, the thing looks pretty, and I would like it to have substantial gameplay and characters, and preferably not explode my gfx card on minimum setting.
  12. *googles* …huh. And yet he’s still working, including on the Deadwood series and movie. BTW, is it me or is there something VERY odd about Delia’s eyes in that trailer?
