statsgirl November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 (edited) Cartermatt writes A hope that Supergirl, The Flash rating stay solid Quote Tonight, the fear of lost viewership should be very real. We understand those who feel like there is an awkward relationship between the story on the show and the presece of Kreisberg off-scree, especially since he was involved in some of the episodes comig up including the enormous four=part Crisis on Earth-X crossover. There may be some who feel like watching the show is an endorsement of him as an artist. Personally, we hope that very few people ultimately feel this way to the point where they decide not to watch the show anymore. As a matter of fact, we hope Supergirl and The Flash deliver great ratings both tonight and tomorrow as proof that what these shows represent is far more important than the horrible actions of one man. Supergirl represents bravery, empowerment, ad doing the right thing --that message shouldn't be lost now, and neither should The Flash who is trying to fight crime while looking on the bright side of life. There are so many other people who have poured their hearts into these stories and want viewers to be entertained or even inspired by them. Supergirl and The Flash should move forward, and there could be a way to even use these shows moving forward in order to speak out about some of these issues. They've always used these platforms for good, and we have to think that they will continue to do so. Without Kreisberg involved won't they be able to really touch on these important issues?

tennisgurl November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 I liked Supergirl this week, even if it was a bit by the numbers as far as flashback episodes go. The young actresses who played the younger Alex and Kara were very well cast, and I liked seeing the earlier parts of their relationship. I think the thing I am most looking forward to in the cross over is seeing some of the actors get to play evil for awhile, as actors usually get a kick out of that. 2 Link to comment

But we know the variety article was based on staffers, not actors. So I doubt they are connected. Kinda sad to see both Franz Drameh and Mehcad Brooks active on twitter but not commenting on the issue. (at least Grant is not active).

Starfish35 November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 Wonder Woman 2 was moved to November 1, 2019, presumably due to the conflict with Star Wars IX. ‘Wonder Woman 2’ With Gal Gadot Moves To November 2019 Quote Warner Bros/DC’s Wonder Woman 2 is going to be released a month and half earlier than originally announced, with a new date set for November 1, 2019. Warner Bros already had that date RSVP’ed on the calendar with an untitled DC movie. Patty Jenkins is on board to direct and Gal Gadot is locked in to reprise her role as the Daughter of Hippolyta. Previously, Warner Bros announced after San Diego Comic-Con that Wonder Woman 2 was to bow on December 13, 2019. Currently on her new date, Wonder Woman 2 faces zero competition. And to just clarify: There was some noise online over the weekend that Gadot wouldn’t sign for the sequel unless Brett Ratner’s name was removed from the franchise. We hear this is false. First, Gadot is locked in to star in Wonder Woman 2 and there haven’t been sour talks between the actress and Warner Bros’ upper brass in regard to Ratner. The studio is pushing both Gadot and Jenkins this awards season, and both were in cheery attendance Saturday night at the Movie Academy’s Governors Awards. Second, RatPac Dune isn’t committed to finance Wonder Woman 2; its commitments with WB end with the April 20 release of Rampage. In addition, Ratner isn’t listed as producer on the first Wonder Woman, as RatPac was merely a passive financier. 1 Link to comment

Popular Post Miss Dee November 14, 2017 Popular Post Share November 14, 2017 (edited) I'm not judging anyone in the Arrowverse for not speaking out. They may not be able to do so for legal reasons if they're one of the whistleblowers; they make feel ineloquent and unable to do justice in written form (even if they're being awesomely supportive in person behind the scenes), and are waiting to get their statements vetted or are eschewing them altogether; they may be dealing with emotions of their own based on past experiences and aren't ready to speak publically. Yes, even some of those big, strong men. If Terry Crews can be sexually assaulted despite his size and strength, anyone can. Basically my feelings are this: --It is awesome when the actors and other influential people speak out. I hope they live up to their commitment of being vigilant and ensuring they don't contribute to or support these toxic work environments. --Those people don't owe me a damn thing. They are not required to make a public show of their fealty to a professional environment so I can mentally check them off some list in my head as to whether they're a sexual abuse victim/perpetrator or not. Whatever their reasons for speaking out or not speaking out, it's their own, and I'm not going to castigate them for exercising their right to stay silent.

tv echo November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 (edited) Candice Patton Previews The WestAllen Wedding | The Flash Published on Nov 13, 2017, by KSiteTV -- On whether it's time for Barry and Iris to get married, CP: "I think it's time, yeah. I think fans, uh, have been waiting for three years. It's been a long time coming. They've had other partners, relationships, trials, tribulations, and so, um, I think it's time. Season 4's a good time for them to kind of make it all happen - and the wedding of the century, essentially." -- On the WestAllen wedding being part of the crossover, CP: "I think it's really cool. I mean, this is a really important moment in DC history and, um, it's cool that our nuptials are a part of the crossover and a big part of the crossover... It's a spectacle for sure." -- On how the WestAllen wedding goes, CP: "Well, I think you can expect on any DCTV show, um, weddings don't usually go as planned. Um, we've got some villains come in and try to spoil that. We've got aliens from Earth-X. Um, so things don't go as planned. Um, and everyone will have to wait and see if they can actually get married at some point. Do the deed." -- On Iris' wedding dress, CP: "They actually flew me to L.A. to go to, um, Monique Lhuillier, um, to find a dress for Iris, because there's a line in the script about how Monique Lhuillier dresses are really, like, are indestructible. She really goes through it in this episode, in this wedding dress. It's still pristine. So, yeah, we flew to L.A., I tried on dresses at Monique Lhuillier, and the first dress I tried on, it was like, 'okay, this is it, feels great, it's comfortable.' The most important thing was, 'Am I comfortable? Am I going to be able to, like, run away from aliens or whatever?'... So yeah, it was pretty neat." -- On who she got to interact with during the crossover that she never got to interact with before, CP: "Everyone on Legends... Dominic Purcell. I don't know if you've seen us interact before. There's some of that. Um, Caity Lotz's character, Sara Lance. Um, more stuff with Melissa over on Supergirl. Chyler Leigh, who I've never gotten to work with. Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. And Stephen Amell. And a lot, a lot, a lot with Emily Bett, um, Felicity. We kind of team up in the crossovers and, um, work together to kind of fight aliens on our own court [tv echo: not sure of this last word]." -- On whether there's any drooling over Oliver Queen, CP: "Um, no, surprisingly. You would think, like, I would've been, like, 'yeah, bring your boyfriend, you know, wanna sit next to him, hang out with him at the rehearsal dinner, whatever.' Yeah, no, not a lot of that, no."

tv echo November 14, 2017 Share November 14, 2017 (edited) Rotten Tomatoes Are Delaying The Reveal of Justice League’s Score By Alex Leadbeater November 13, 2017https://screenrant.com/justice-league-rotten-tomatoes-score-delayed/ Quote Rotten Tomatoes won’t be revealing Justice League‘s Tomatometer score until Thursday, over a day after the review embargo actually lifts. The DCEU team-up isn’t just one of the most anticipated films of the year, but specifically, one that audiences are eager to read reviews of considering the franchise’s varied reception previously and the Zack Snyder/Joss Whedon production’s turbulent journey to the big screen. The social media embargo lifted last Friday, giving fans the very first reactions to the film (which were mixed with a positive skew) but the full review embargo doesn’t lift until Tuesday, 11/14 at 11:50 pm PST/ 2:50 am EST on Wednesday, 11/15. That’s quite late for such a major tentpole – less than two days before the first public screenings – which along with the overnight reveal (meaning there’ll be less online traffic) has suggested to some that there’s a fear about a negative appraisal. And while we’ll be able to get a taste of the consensus then, the traditional barometer won’t be read until almost 36 hours after that. * * * Rather than publishing the Tomatometer score (a number calculated by averaging out the positive and negative assessments of a film) immediately as reviews come in post-embargo, Rotten Tomatoes will instead be saving the reveal of the score until 12:01am EST on Thursday 11/16 as part of the site’s new Facebook show See It/Skip It. That means the score won’t be known until just seven hours before the first screenings. * * * Rotten Tomatoes aren’t delaying the reveal to try and reduce any misleading conclusions – they’re actually playing into the false sense of importance around the Tomatometer to draw more eyes to their newly-launched online show; their previous two episodes have treated the numbers involved as more sacrosanct than even the most overzealous outlets and the drumroll is most-certainly a hype-building trick. After all, if this was about protecting art from their negative influence, they wouldn’t do it for a select few films. This is particularly worrying as the move takes Rotten Tomatoes from being an aggregator and more directly into the critical sphere; its hosts provide their own opinions and the Tomatometer is treated like a definitive stamp, as opposed to the suggestive percentage it really is. That’s a power shift around an already controversial metric, making the entire enterprise more about the website itself than the reviews it’s cataloging. And, considering that they’re owned by Fandango (a company that relies on ticket sales, further co-owned by film companies Warner Bros. and Universal), has the ability to be abused by keeping potentially damaging ratings held back.

So evil versions show up during her wedding, she runs around in her wedding dress for at least an episode and she teams up with Felicity in their own court. Does it sound to anyone else like Iris and Felicity get kidnapped and taken? Could that be why everyone heads over to EarthX? (Also, I propose for ease and the sake of clarity, any doppelgangers should be referred to as OliverX, TommyX, KaraX or FelicityX ect, ect) Edited: I just remembered the Pipeline Picture after the wedding gets broken up.
