  1. Big fan of the franchise - I have a great time even with the rubbish ones - but something seems so off about this.
  2. I've been obsessed with Desplat's Godzilla score since it came out. I think it's really special. McCreary's is really good, too. The rest are all generic. Kong: Skull Island's is especially disappointing because the movie is so much fun in pretty much every other aspect.
  3. It was meant to release today but they didn't want it to compete with that new Star Wars show. It's coming tomorrow. There's cam footage of the opening of the trailer about too. We're getting an 'epic' version of Belafonte I fear.
  4. Website is ready to go and Keaton and O'Hara are making an announcement at the Oscars tonight.
  5. Left my screening of All of Us Strangers in tears tonight. Partly because of the movie, but also because I never have to endure this trailer ever again.
  6. Maverick was the first movie my dad saw in cinema since 2010. He just told me he wants to go see this.
  7. This all sounds plausible enough. I think audiences saw GvK, had fun, and then forgot about it. I don't think it left much of an impression. Certainly not enough of an impression to entice them to want to see a sequel that -seemingly- doesn't have anything new to offer. Again, I hope I'm wrong.
  8. I'm always rooting for him, but I have no faith in him. Dumbo broke me. He also did the unimaginable and directed a bad performance from Keaton.
  9. What exactly is the hook for GxK? Here's Godzilla and Kong on screen together...again? I like all the Monsterverse movies to varying degrees, but I don't see why this would do particularly well. GvK's gross was deflated for sure, but that was the event. Freddy Vs Jason was huge and they never even bothered with another one because they knew the drop off would be huge (and neither of those franchises were ever sequel shy). When they were toying with another one, they were trying to find other another franchise to mix with it. AvP Requiem...well.... I will go see it and I hope I'm wrong, but I think the novelty is gone.
  10. Burton's been trying to make Beetlejuice 2 since the early 90s. It pops up every now and again, and then it dies because they 'couldn't get it right'. I don't trust Burton's tastes anymore, but I think his heart's in this one. If anything, I'd assume he used Wednesday's success to make it happen. They tried getting it up and running again in 2019 and then it died. Fast-forward three years, Wednesday is a phenomenon and then it gets the greenlight. I know the plot and it's surprisingly decent. It's a nice mix of old and new with lots of fun material for Dafoe/Keaton. Ortega/Ryder/O Hara are the heart of it. It's quite a sweet story of three generations of women learning to understand each other. It reminded me of Halloween 2018.
  11. Yeah, Ortega is key here. Wednesday Season 2 still won't have premiered, so this will scratch that itch for a while. Kind of a ScarJo in Lucy situation.
  12. Even if they include Tobey, my man Sam potentially directing Avengers movies bums me out a bit. If he has to do a 'One for them, one for me,' I'd rather it were for something kookier like Doctor Strange 3 or even Fantastic 4. These Avengers movies are far removed from the earnest 60s/70s fanboy that he is.
  13. You’ve got several other movies coming out, one being Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice 2.” Can you talk to me about working with Burton and reveal what character you play? I haven’t seen any footage yet, but it was fun to do. I play a police officer in the afterlife, so I’m a dead person. And in life I was a B-movie action star, but I had an accident and that’s what sent me to the other side. But because of my skills, I became a detective character in the afterlife. So that’s my job. But it’s colored by the fact of who I was [when I was alive]: a B movie action star. Willem Dafoe Talks 'Poor Things,' Reveals Role in 'Beetlejuice 2'<strong> </strong> (variety.com)
  14. I can't speak for anywhere else, but our curriculum is objectively more ambitious and challenging than it has ever been. I hear parents and other teachers daily complain about how 'easy' children have got in nowadays, but it's just not true at all. 11-year-olds need to be able to use and understand passive voice, subjunctive form, semi colons, colons, dashes, commas for clarity.... If they can't, they are not working at 'the expected standard'. You know when I learned those things? When I became a teacher. I got by studying English Literature at a fairly prestigious university not knowing what an 11-year-old needs to know now.
