But on the big bright side...Script for Apostle is all kinds of hnnngh. Weird, violent, bloody. Sweet lord. Gareth Evans did it again, goddamn. Yeah, I also see lots of folks hating this lol. In a weird way this feels like what Only God Forgives should have been as an action flick. Sooooo good tho.

Gareth Evans and Dan Stevens.

If ya'll want to have a good laugh, please look up the article on that Lohan and Paul Shrader movie:

Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie

Great read. Can't link cause of language.

 

[Consona]

Farrell's facial expressions always make for excellent GIF responses.

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Personal favorite.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Make it happen, fam.

 

[harlequinade]

That's it Rian.

 

[Arachnerd]

Gotta make everything have a political undertone nowadays lolz

 

[harlequinade]

My issue is with this guy suggesting Poe would have somehow trouble dealing with a woman with different opinion, because it is a woman?? What would be different if Holdo was a dude? Nothing. Also "a woman not in general outfit but having feminine energy"? What???

Not only is what he saying stupid but it's x2 stupid seeing Poe look up to Leia so much and taking her lessons to heart near the end.

Oh make this guy stop saying things.

 

[KalvinEllis]

That's it Rian.

Don't you love when male feminists try to make some kind of "progressive" statement and end up doing the exact opposite.

 

[harlequinade]

Save us J.J.

Lohan sits down, smiles and skips the small talk.

“Hi, how are you? I won’t play Cynthia. I want to play Tara, the lead.” Braxton Pope and Paul Schrader nod happily. They’d been tipped off by her agent that this was how it was going to go. They tell her that sounds like a great idea.

Schrader thinks she’s perfect for the role. Not everyone agrees. Schrader wrote “Raging Bull” and “Taxi Driver” and has directed 17 films. Still, some fear Lohan will end him. There have been house arrests, car crashes and ingested white powders. His own daughter begs him not to use her. A casting-director friend stops their conversation whenever he mentions her name. And then there’s the film’s explicit subject matter. Full nudity and lots of sex. Definitely NC-17. His wife, the actress Mary Beth Hurt, didn’t even finish the script, dismissing it as pornography after 50 pages. She couldn’t understand why he wanted it so badly.

But Schrader was running out of chances. His last major opportunity was about a decade ago, when he was picked to direct a reboot of “The Exorcist.” He told an interviewer, “If I don’t completely screw that up, it might be possible for me to end my career standing on my own feet rather than groveling for coins.” A few months later, he was replaced by the blockbuster director Renny Harlin, who reshot the film. Renny Harlin! Schrader is now 65 and still begging for coins.

What even is this.

 

[StarLord]

Please let Besson's next film ANNA be good.

[kguillou]

Please let Besson's next film ANNA be good.

I hope so, too. A French crime thriller sounds right up my alley and sounds like Besson going back to his roots. The last movie I watched of his, Lucy, was the only movie in recent memory that actually made me irate once I finished watching it and made me turn against Besson.

For some reason I saw two Josh Radnor movies. The only two movies he directed, you guys may know him as the lead from How I met your mother. I thought that sitcom was meh, but I always found him to be charismatic and likable, and weird he is not getting too many roles. And someone recommended me his 2nd movie "Liberal Arts", and I thought "what the heck" and just watched it.

Its a good movie, and I really liked it. Then I watched his first movie, and I really like that one too. They are kinda feel good movies. Warm, moving and character based. I've heard the label being "sitcom"-y, but I dont find that to be true. The movies were sincere, and well made. A very commendable effort for a first time director. They stuck the very hard line between pretentious/snobby and saccharine. I dont get why these movies are not liked by the critics. They are well made movies, that are not offensive or innapropriate. They are well intentioned, well made pieces. Whatever.

His first movie called "HappyThankYouMorePlease" had quite the cast. Malin Akerman is in it, and I really liked her here. Kate Mara and Tony Hale are also here. But the person who stole my heard is Zoey Kazan.I dont know what it was about her, whether her eyes, or her voice(omg), or that "girl next door" feel, she was just...amazing. Radnor also really impressed me with his acting and writing.

Diana: "I lost a loved one". I think you should count Antiope, you knew her decades longer than you did Steve Trevor.

They are very callous with secret identities in this one.

I think they have the quick change of clothes switch from Batman 66, like how Barry changed to military outfit to take Superman's corpse out.

"LOIS IS THE KEY". Ok cool, what about Martha?

OH NO! STEPPENWOLF IS TURNING THE DCEU INTO ANOTHER X-MEN: APOCALYPSE*. KICK HIM OUT OF THE MOVIE.

Superman lost his suit, and I don't know why he had a picture of Jonathan Kent with him in his hand in his coffin.

I never questioned how the Kryptonian vessel went under Metropolis like that, or the coincidence of Superman's statue being directly above that ship's lazarus pit.

Parademons are like the Enchantress soldiers in this one, zombies morphed by magic.

Shirtless Superman. Shirtless Kylo Ren. 2017 was the year of shirtless action scenes.

Elfman score with action scenes gives me the impression I'm playing a LEGO Batman game.

Aquaman's attack yell sounds like a scared cartoon chicken. I laughed.

It took them this long to make Superman in a story as he always should be; like the Onepunch Man. And then he falls on his back again.

Alien plants suddenly grow out of the separation of Unity.

*I actually like that movie

Martha put the photo of Pa Kent in Clark's hand during the Smallville funeral in BVS. It was a really touching moment for me.

Matt Bomer...

He's been fancast and/or rumored for different CBM parts in the past (mostly fancast, I believe) mostly as Superman and Batman; back in the pre-BvS days I was on the fence about him, simply based on his size, even though he's in great shape and all, I just felt like he's look "tiny" next to Cavill, but in "The Nice Guys" (great movie, by the way) he looks quite intimidating and imposing and "big" (I don't know if he actually gained mass for that one, or it was the hair or whatever), I think I'd actually be up for him to take over as Batman (if Ben doesn't return, which I still hope he does).

At 40, he could play still the older Bruce (as established in the franchise this far) but could continue dealing with the physicality of it for a long time, they would just have to use movie magic to make him look taller, I guess, because then he'd be the shortest member of the team

 

[Micromind]

Yeah, had Matt Bomer been a few inches taller, he would be one of actors who I would like to play Batman.

 

[BH/HHH]

Bomer has always been more of a Superman actor to me. Although I remember a lot of fancasts had Tyler Hoechlin as an option for Batman but he ended up playing Superman so I guess some actors could be right for both. Josh Hartnett to me always seemed like a good choice for Superman but from what he’s said he had also been offered Batman in the past.
