  1. I think that the actress recently posted that she was already back at GH and filming.
  2. I'm glad that they are possibly going weird and gross with Esme/Ryan. It's a bit more unexpected and if it makes things that much more interesting, then creep away I say.
  3. Yeah, and I think I prefer the Schumacher films over the Burton ones. They were more faithful to the source material.
  4. I think I first heard of Munchausen's from listening to Eminem records back in the early 2000s. Finn casually sipping on soda, and straight out the can? Nah, didn't need to see that.
  5. I would never even consider clicking on one of those videos. The thumbnails and titles alone are always a huge nope for me.
  6. Briana Nicole Henry is now 30 and Vinessa Antoine is now 38. So this is the oldest Jordan they have casted yet.
  7. MCU Spider-Man and the MCU in general have been more popular than everything in the last decade, so that's really not a good comparison. Batman is popular, but not nearly as popular as it was in years past. Especially after the Nolan films went all-out and were so massively successful. Combine that with the ill-conceived and poorly-received Batman-related efforts released since then, it makes sense that the general public would be broadly uninterested in yet another Batman reboot. Word-of-mouth will likely be the determining factor in this film's success.
  8. Maybe one day someone will take another swing at the novel. I think a trilogy of films based on the original book alone could do the story justice. That, or a television adaptation for streaming or whatever. You could probably get a few seasons out of it. I'm actually surprised that there weren't more adaptations after the success of the first two films. No network television series, no Broadway shows. Maybe it's an issue with the rights or something.
  9. The Johnny sections take up a significant amount of the story. It's not something that can just be excised away like it's nothing. But that's really only the tip of the iceberg. The characterization of everyone is notably different from novel to film, while the story itself goes into different directions between versions. The film is a loose adaptation of the novel in my view, and Puzo's contributions don't really change that. If someone were to attempt a more faithful version of the book, I think that the end product would look vastly different than what we got in Coppola's film.
  10. The novel and the film are very far removed from one another, and in my mind it is best to view them as separate beasts. I wouldn't mind seeing them try to adapt the novel again someday, either in film or in television.
  11. I don't believe that Madame Web was a mutant in the earlier stories, that may have been retroactive. Having psychic abilities isn't too difficult to explain on its own.
  12. In the context of race, Trina's situation would be more important. It's not that a white woman in Trina's position being violated and discarded wouldn't be a bad thing. It's that for Trina and Black identity, it's far worse. Race is only one aspect of Trina's story. It doesn't necessarily supersede everything else. But it does deserve the appropriate attention and consideration, given its importance.
  13. Correct, it would not be as bad if it were a white woman. Race is always relevant. We live in a society in which Blackness and Black womanhood are normally devalued in favor of Whiteness. Television and media are components and reflections of society. So naturally, the portrayal of race in fiction will be an important subject.
  14. It's always going to be worse when the friend is Black. The only Black woman in the group being drugged by a White woman to be used as a tool to further her schemes, while the Black woman is then left alone and forgotten by her supposed White friends. It's a White-dominated and White-centered story that only dehumanizes and devalues Black women and people of color.
  15. For me, anything three hours and under works as long as the story itself is served by the runtime. If it were over three hours, then such a film would need to be a special case in my view. I know that Matt Reeves was fighting the studio for a longer cut, so hopefully this means that the end result is more in line with his vision for the film.
  16. I don't think that his being a child is any kind of exemption. A lot of people hate children. Especially children on television, who can be especially hateful.
  17. The Raimi version also had the father issues and the difficulty getting close to people. I blame Raimi and the writers for MJ being what she was in those films. Dunst could have played a better MJ but the script just wasn't there. Overall, the Raimi films had a weak understanding of all of the Spider-Man characters. Raimi pretty much just went his own way with them.
  18. But Alexis's conviction was just last year. Presumably the WU members' alleged crimes must have occurred years before they were hired. Also, perhaps an Ivy League school might be a bit more broad-minded and understanding in its hiring practices than at PCU.
  19. It could still totally be a hit. Morbius has never needed Spider-Man to work.
  20. Trailer is too plot-specific. Looks like they are embracing the silly in this film. I really hope Alfred dies in the end. The Riddler as a main villain is ridiculous. If you forget the comic books and just go with it, it looks like an interesting film. I like the feel of it all, and at least they are trying something different. Also I dug seeing Bella Reál on screen so hopefully they do something worthwhile with her.
  21. It's not just you. Those weren't tears of joy in Sasha's eyes.
  22. You don't replace big characters like Batman unless it's temporary. Temporary replacements can be enjoyable, but at some point the original character should return. All of them age slowly. I don't think that the aging thing will become a problem anytime soon, if ever.
  23. I never really liked this show. I was a fan of the Batman and Superman Animated Series, but thought that a team show was a bit much. I think that Timm/Dini and them work much better in series focused on solo characters. If they had done a Wonder Woman show or a Green Lantern show instead, then I think that would have been better. Then they could have just done special team-up episodes and movies if they wanted the Justice League. I also didn't like all of the continuity between this show and the previous shows. It felt like they were overdoing it at times. And I *really* don't like how they used Darkseid as the arch villain of the series, but for me that's more a problem with Superman the Animated Series than anything else.
