I don't believe anything until I see Pattinson's aged face filming.

I finally read my first Superman comics!

I recently picked up DC Comics Presents Superman. It's a limited-edition magazine featuring the comic book stories that inspired the new Superman movie! It includes reprints of All-Star Superman # 1, Superman: For All Seasons # 1, and Lex Luthor: Man Of Steel # 1.

I really enjoyed all three issues but my hands-down favourite was Superman: For All Seasons # 1 by Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale. What a beautiful story! I've read both Daredevil: Yellow and Spider-Man: Blue by this dynamic duo and really love the melancholy, autumnal aesthetic they bring to defining stories featuring these classic characters

I also enjoyed All-Star Superman and Lex Luthor but it's hard to judge a classic story arc based just on the first issue. However, the deep dive into Lex's psyche was interesting and the final panel of All-Star looked like it was setting up quite a bombshell revelation...

Overall I'm very intrigued and am looking forward to reading the remaining issues in these classic runs! I think a subscription to DC Universe Infinite is in my near future

Update on War of the Worlds. Couldn’t finish it. Bezos can eat **** but Ice Cube’s facial expressions kept me in as long as he could

This was him for at least 75% of his screentime:

Like I wrote in my review, it's like watching your 65 year old uncle play Five Nights at Freddy's.... as H. G. Wells intended.

Double Toasted had the quickest turnaround of reviewing the movie and then immediately doing a bad movie roast.

Yall annoying.

I’m about to watch this damn thing, see you on the other side.

I guess the idea was to make the entire movie happen over Microsoft Teams/Zoom/Facetime/etc. as a contemporary version of the original War of the Worlds radio broadcast that was about as interactive as it could get in the 1930s.

"What is.... PRIME AIR?"

It's the perfect distillation of having a good idea and executing on that good idea and failing so hard.

Today marks the ten year anniversary of Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four film

A while ago I saw someone say the Thing looks like Churches Chicken, and I can’t unsee it.

If I get drunk enough, I could finish it up. Maybe it’ll be a part of a marathon with Samurai Cop and The Room. Gonna need lots of alcohol.

If you want the perfect triple feature, you gotta match Samurai Cop with Miami Connection and New York Ninja.

I’ve seen all 3 individually! The back to back marathon sounds wonderful. My mind will melt by the end of the day but **** it, YOLO.

I’m glad you liked them! And my wife and I have had the conversation: I am willing to part with just about any streaming service. But DC Universe Infinite is untouchable. There’s barely a day that goes by that I don’t read something off of there. It is a treasure trove.

You by the time you get to the end of the 3rd film:

Fingers crossed that Miles Teller will play 'The Maker' AKA 'Ultimate Reed Richards' in Secret Wars

IIRC this was the Blu-ray cover which they definitely tweaked to make it look more like an MCU movie.

All movies should aspire to be WoTW honestly. That is the apex of no-budget cinema. If you're going to make trash with real actors, do it in that kind of fashion.

0/10 will be watching again.

Seriously. Kind of shocked by those claiming it's "too bad". It's not like you're sitting there watching a completely humorless, soulless endeavor like the How to Train Your Dragon remake. You're watching home cinema.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Fun little thing. Superman Returns and Man of Steel we're 9th WW at the box office the years they came out. With F1 most likely passing it, Superman should end up 6th after the summer. With Avatar, Zootopia, and Wicked to come...

The way I see it, as long as it's not boring (which WotW CLEARLY isn't) a bad movie is totally worth watching.

In this particular case, I felt compelled to watch it as soon as possible because it very much feels like one of those trending streaming movies that'll be forgotten after a couple of weeks, like Bird Box.

Bird Box, I still haven't seen. What I get from it, is it's mediocre. Nothing worse then bland mediocre. Movies like WotW? Ra's explained it best:
