All the Spacey footage has been wiped from any records as per Ridley Scott's quotes.

And just like that...

He's gone.

 

[Black Narcissus]

nah i'd just take away his image posting abilities and make him speak to us with words

Great Anna Nicole Smith avie!

Even as she got a bit chunky...I'd still lick that chicken gravy from her fingers. May she RIP. She earned that goddamn money.

 

[flickchick85]

I heard that All the Money In the World was completed (with Plummer scenes dropped in) only a few days before the Golden Globe nomination ballots were due, lol. So that was basically a placeholder spot for Spacey?

Pretty much. Ridley re shot over 50% of the movie 3 weeks before it's release date. The man maybe old but he's a legit boss.

If I ever met Ridley Scott, I feel like he'd be the ultimate case of "I hate you but goddamn it do I respect you."

So I'm working on figuring out how much trouble the cops would have to deal with when dealing with drunk Super people.

I have one thing where one villain and the main characters bodyguard/friend go drinking and wind up throwing trash cans at a police station from on top of a building across the street. When the cops come out in force, the bodyguard runs while the other guy grabs a cop car and flies off with it while a cop is still inside.

That and shark wrestling being a professional sport. I would honestly buy a cable subscription if I could watch shark wrestling like other people watch WWE.

I thought you were making a joke....but you actually thought they were supposed to be the same couple years later. Wow.

What's the reason behind the hate? His personality or something? A controversial view he espoused? Legit curious, cuz I've never read an interview myself that put him in a bad light. Again, for myself. He can be full of himself but he's got a career most anyone, flops, misfires included that most would be envious of and even at his age he's still plugging away.

really like reese witherspoon's earrings tonight

That's... A good question actually. You occasionally see villains and heroes out drinking with their super pals but the stories don't usually veer off in that direction.


I had an idea myself for a Justice League story about a ladies night out. The line ups would be:

Super heroines-

Donna Troy
Vixen
Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl
Gypsy
Firehawk
Dr. Light
Fire
Ice


Super Villainesses-

Rampage
Live Wire
Killer Frost
Giganta
Madame Rouge
Cheshire
Cheetah

The female Leaguers have a night on the town and then at one club run into the villain group also out having a good time. Both are put into a position of having to figure out what to do? Some of the Leaguers are down for a fight but the cooler heads prevail. I mean... What's the right call? Have a fight in a crowded club and put the bystanders in danger? Okay don't confront the bad girls. Then what? Call in the authorities, the Feds or some agency? Kinda brings up the same issues and by the time they show up the villains could be long gone. The villains are in the same boat. The more impulsive ones are down for a clash but the point of going out was to get away from the constant brawling, and the cycle of violence and incarceration for an evening. There's some character stuff spotlighting the personalities of the cast of characters, like Donna Troy being looked to as a "leader" just because she's Diana's sister, the mind set of female villains working in a male dominated "industry" as it were, get into the motivations of the type of people that keep plugging away at life style of a career super villain. How do they cope with the misogyny of the average male villain types, the constant beat downs by the heroes etc. The two key characters would be Giganta and Rampage. I kinda see Rampage as a sort of dark She-Hulk type. Her and Giganta become buddies and we learn Giganta has a drinking problem, which is how she copes with her life.

The two groups agree to a parley and shake hands that they won't fight and agree to go their separate ways. Of course one of the villains decides to take a poke at the heroes and it goes pear shaped. End of story has the Rampage, who was against the fight in the first place sacrificing her freedom to let her compatriots escape. Giganta, along with Frost, Live Wire and Rouge free Rampage from custody when the heroes are gone and this is the genesis of them forming their own group with a mission statement of not following the same patterns that get them busted again and again, often in the service of some mastermind type of villain, usually male. I call them Women Of Scorn. Eventually that falls apart because of the pathologies of the characters involved. It also sets up Rampage as an antagonist for Donna, and show how these vendettas are a huge reason why villains get caught up in a cycle of revenge that keep them from reaching their potential as villains.

Ridley Scott's adaptation of Hannibal was better than Bryan Fuller's. That is all.

I just mean in interviews he seems like an a-hole to me (probably the same qualities that you say make him seem "full of himself"), so I probably wouldn't like him personally. But as Fallen said, professionally, he's a total boss responsible for some truly great films and those same qualities that make him seem like an a-hole are also what make him the guy studios don't **** with, and I just have to respect the hell outta him.

I think it's a by-product of being a perfectionist. But I also think he has gotten better over the years.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Tonight's episode of Discovery was the best. The best I say.

Spoiler

Long live the empire.

Haven't seen the latest episode yet, but I'm really enjoying Discovery.
