Austin Powers (2): The Spy Who Shagged Me. They immediately reveal that Vanessa was a fembot controlled by Doctor Evil, which completely retcons her character and role in the first movie.
Can you really ruin a parody with a very parody way of following the Bond material where there’s a new love interest in every movie?
Like it was so illogical because she had plenty of opportunities to kill him in the first movie or even before she revealed herself in the second movie that it had to be taken as a joke. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the first movie, but doesn’t she even save him and play an important role in stopping Dr Evil?
Why would they have to keep up with their appraisal? There is no downside to not doing it, other than not being worth as much if they want to sell or IPO, but that would be true even without the equity firm’s investment and appraisal. No law says they have to meet the expectations set by a single investor. There is no legal duty requiring a company to maximize profits or shareholder value.
However, even if such a law requiring them to maximize profits existed, it’s very reasonable that they would legally continue making the same types of movies that earned them that value in the first place. There couldn’t possibly be a requirement for them to change business strategies, else every company would eventually all end up in the same, most profitable industry. They’d all be selling movie theatre popcorn or something.
Laws? What the fuck are you talking about? You’re right in that their hand isn’t forced when making a business transaction such as this, but looking at it through the childish lens of “laws” is odd to say the least.
I don’t understand A24. Hereditary was a borderline comedy, Uncut Gems and EEAAO would work better as 20 minute shorts, and nothing happened in The Witch. They’re like the Marvel of hipster movies.
Said Gunn at the time of that annoucement, “In our series we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl. She’s much more hardcore; she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”
I thought they were veering away from the whole “dark and gritty” approach to DC. Really hope this isn’t a bad sign.
It’s just to call out that Supergirl is going to have lots of room to grow.
Basically the Superman film is going to have an established Superman, no origin story (although I’m sure sprinkled in). Supergirl is going to be more of an origin story (as I read it).
It will be the job of Superman to teach Supergirl who is coming from a very different background.
Remember the scene from Suicide Squad where the Ratcatcher father is telling Ratcatcher daughter about rats? Swap in Superman and Supergirl and change rats to humanity, boom. That’s the kind of wisdom Superman is going to be dishing out.
Sorry, I haven’t quite figured out how to set alt text on images when posting from my phone quite yet — the website is easy because the entry box allows markdown, but my mobile client doesn’t seem to have a box for it? I’m working on figuring it out. But my understanding is that, with good alt text, pictures of text are fine for blind folks?
Sounds like a sad attempt on Disney’s part because they couldn’t come up with a fresh new movie and instead are cannibalizing characters that should be focused on the tv side of the company.
I started to use it recently so I am not speaking for myself, but I have a friend who is a hardcore user that says that the key is that you must follow users who actually review content, and that it is specially interesting if these people have similar tastes to you. You can, for example, follow Martin Scorsese’s user and you’ll see his reviews.
Aww heck, I think Jaden and Willow are both pretty cool (their parents, not so much). Everybody has an akward teenage phase, his just couldn't be hidden because he's will smith's son.
It terms of movies I never asked for, at least this film has plenty to work with. The original series/films establish that we’re at Hunger Games 74+ and there was a huge war.
I’m not sure if Snow is the best main character, but having watched the film I think he was a good enough choice.
A prequel is always going to be a difficult movie, but I thought this did a fine job. If they want to make a few more I’ll probably watch them, but if they don’t I’ll be ok.
