    Wow

    thats really messed up that hwood not giving asian actors/actresss their due, even though

    Jubilee is one of the most loved  on the Xmen team. I hope they feature her prominently in

    sequels

     

    Well they already have Tanning Chatum lined up as Gambit for the next movie...probably will spend a decent amount of the movie on him...not sure how many new ones you can introduce and still do them justice...

    I just want to make sure I pass the training (there are 5 tests in 5 weeks and you have to get at least 80% on them to pass, no exceptions) before committing to moving back to Toronto.  I'm living with my brother right now and money is tight.  So once everything is good to go, then I'll move back for sure.  I will pass, there is no doubt, but I just have to be sure.

     

    As for the commute, it's about 100 minutes in the morning, but when I leave from northern Toronto (Brampton....where Russel Peters is from), I catch all the rush hour traffic so it takes about 2.5-3 hours to get back to London.

     

    Theres a London in Canada?

     

    MIND BLOWN...

    If it comes to that, they'll just reboot again. No single series is enough of an albatross to sink a studio, which is basically the situation you're trying to set up. Even assuming the franchise continues to tank, Sony knows full well that Spider-Man is a popular character overall (witness the performance of the earlier movies) and that reboots can wildly rejuvenate franchises, if done correctly (Batman, Star Trek). The latent potential in Spider-Man is worth keeping around even if the next one completely tanks.And let's be clear, we're still talking about a movie that's going to hit 700m WW.

     

    Agreed but I think situations are arising which can force the sale. If we assume from an ROI perspective that it continues on a negative trajectory for TASM3 (2016), a reboot post that movie will be 4-5 years away. Sony is not flush with cash these days and a lot of their divisions are not doing well. (Excluding gaming, movies, insurance/finance, etc) If they do decide to reboot, they won't have positive cash flow from Spidey for those years and have to depend on other sources to finance their movies. The other sources of money may not be readily available since they are utlizing a lot of debt to turn around their main businesses.

     

    Plus Wall Street is already harking Sony to spin off the movie division which would only increase the pressure the new spun off company to sell it back so that they can finance other movies. (Maybe go after Bond which has been doing quite well). Again alot of hypotheticals but not impossible.

     

    Either that or I am just coming up with crazy rationales so that Spidey ends up in Marvel's hands.

    Wknd Estimates: Godzilla - 93.2M

    Well regardless of who is doing it, Whedon needs to step his game in that regard. TA1 had a boring visual style even though the story and characters were fun.

     

    What I always wanted to know is why Avengers had a 1.85:1 aspect ratio when everything else in MCU is pretty much 2.35:1...I think Age of Ultron is 1.85:1 too...I wonder if Whedon just prefers it for some reason...

    Noah kicks ass. Plus, the fact that it angered fundamentalist Christians and Muslims makes it even better. 

     

    So I live in Memphis or the buckle of the bible belt as I like to call it...I saw Noah on opening weekend Sunday and the theater was filled with quite a few sunday church crowds...the reactions and/or comments were interesting to say the least...
