I'm surprised that the owners of The Munsters' intellectual property rights went with Rob Zombie to helm the project. Because family friendly comedy is the last thing that comes to mind when I think of his movies.

I was looking forward to the D&D movie, but that trailer I'm really not sure about. Too much comedy for my liking. Some people have said that it more resembles the way D&D ends up being played, rather than an actual fantasy novel or something. I've always been a little too disorganised to actually play RPGs, can anyone else confirm?

Also, Sophia Lillis looks distractingly like Black Widow here. She's playing a thief, right? It might be deliberate.

Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix will be co-starring in the Joker sequel, called Joker: Folie a deux.  Lady Gaga plays Harley Quinn.  It's a musical.

I still think that this is a good idea.  It makes total sense for the characters, and is also a unique and interesting approach to a comic book movie.

Full-length trailer for "WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY".

I'm still not sure how to feel about this. It looks funny, and *I guess* it makes sense for this to be a parody, but I might rather have a non-parody biopic of Weird Al.

I loved the original Fletch, but I'm not impressed with the trailer for the new one.  I'm not sure if it's the writing or if John Hamm simply doesn't have the comedic chops that Chevy Chase has. I may change my mind, though, with a 2nd trailer or if it's getting good audience reviews.

Everybody's all happy about the announcement of a new Henry Cavill Superman movie, but I'm actually excited about "Argylle", by Matthew Vaughn, starring Cavill.  It's about a spy with amnesia who gets convinced that he's actually a famous author of spy novels.  The thing that excites me the most is the cast:  Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard, John Cena, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, Rob Delaney, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Jing Lusi and Samuel L. Jackson.

I saw an ad for this movie on YouTube:

Champions staring Woody Harrelson-

Quote

A former minor-league basketball coach receives a court order to guide a team of players with intellectual disabilities. Despite his doubts, he soon realizes that together they can go further than ever imagined.

From the preview, first I thought it was great that so many actors with mental disabilities were able to get work, and the story was actually going to be about THEM and their lives (they didnt just exist as inspiration porn or a way for Woody's character to be a better person), I also liked that a character's sister played a big role (even if she ends up sleeping with Woody, but I rarely see the Sib relationship in media!), but the "almost use" of the R word for laughs, isn't funny. Calling anyone a slur is never funny, but the "almost" but "not" seems to be a way of picking on a community where a lot of the members CANNOT fight back (punching down). And that not okay, and you dont get inclusion points. 

I might have to wait and see what other people in similar situations think before I watch cause I am sensitive about these things.

I don't have much hope for a sensitive portrayal of people with intellectual disabilities when the movie is directed by the man who brought us There's Something About Mary and Shallow Hal--Bobby Farrelly.

Oh, damn there I go getting all excited. Thanks for letting me know, I hadnt looked up the production yet. 

I actually didnt mind Shallow Hal, but I agree with you. There is a way to write a comedy and not have a vulnerable community be the butt of the joke.

I saw the name in the trailer and went to verify that it is indeed the same Farrelly. Maybe the full cast of appropriate actors will stop the movie from going full punching down, but I can already see some of the supposed comedy that will be milked with adding a female player to the team of guys.

If it helps at all, this looks like an almost exact American remake of a 2018 Spanish film of the same name (that was nominated for multiple film festival awards and even won a few).  Judging from the original version's trailer, the American version cleaned it up a bit (you do hear the slu 2 or 3 times in this trailer):

Thank you for sharing!

I saw this one during an ad on YouTube. 

From what I gather, Florence Pugh's character suffers from alcoholism, and there was a drunk driving (or another accident) where her soon to be sister-in-law was killed and she was partly responsible? (I assume her fiancé broke up with her or is incapacitated in some way from this accident) She has to learn to forgive herself and gets through her addiction while bonding with her wouldve been father-in-law. I love Florence, and Morgan Freeman is a gem so this looks good.

That's a great cast, and I really like Sarah Polley's sensibilities as a director, so I bet it's a terrific film.  I've read nothing but glowing reviews of Women Talking, with many saying it's Polley's greatest accomplishment yet.  I'm so glad she's directing again!
