They’d never do it, but it would be pretty neat if they made the home media release a choose your own adventure thing where you could pick either the ending we got in theaters or the two endings that were scrapped.

I never understood why they chose Hawkgirl of all people to replace Aquaman in the Justice League lineup. I get that they didn’t want Wonder Woman to be the only woman on the team, but they had several more viable options to choose from.

Maybe it’s not true, but I don’t think we can completely rule it out yet. As I said, there were rumors that they’re casting a Middle Eastern actor to play a dictator.

The amount of people I’ve seen defend David Zaslav and insisting we give him a chance is especially baffling. Defending Bob Iger is stupid too, but Zaslav doesn’t even have anything to show for himself yet. Sure, the Barbie movie is pretty much guaranteed to be a hit, but it’s not even like he green-lit that. It was already filming when the merger took place.

Neither of those movies flopped… If a superhero film as bleak and brutal as Logan managed to get an A-, I don’t think the idea that TSS got a B+ because it was too violent holds much water. Besides, the movie had a Red Band trailer. People knew it was going to be this edgy R-rated film going in. They just didn’t find it very exciting, hence why it dropped to fifth place in its second weekend.

I saw that circulating yesterday, but I decided not to post it here, because I figured Grace Randolph was too controversial a subject around here. Anyway, for what it’s worth, there have apparently been rumors about a casting call for a Middle Eastern dictator, and Gunn has yet to debunk this to my knowledge, so maybe it has some merit to it. It’d be pretty funny too, because this basically makes it sound like Black Adam, except with the ideology of the heroes reversed.

Ironically, streaming is what turned Breaking Bad from a niche low budget drama about a chemistry teacher selling meth to the cultural phenomenon it became in its final year on the air. You’re right though. If a show isn’t immediately successful nowadays, it’ll just get canceled, and potentially even pulled from whatever service it was on, with no legal way to watch it after that.

I used to roll my eyes when people complained about how unoriginal Hollywood is, and how they’ve become overly reliant on sequels and reboots, but at this point, I can’t deny that this obsession with IP’s is not good. Hollywood needs to take more chances. They can’t keep clinging to the past.

Yeah, I was going to say, boomers and Gen X people are the ones who can’t be bothered to go to a theater anymore. TGM was a rare exception.

God, Warner Bros. getting bought by AT&T was a disastrous domino effect.

Even Logan received an A- on Cinemascore, so the idea that R-rated superhero movies have a more difficult time on there doesn’t have much evidence behind it right now. In any case, TSS also had pretty lousy legs, so I don’t think it’s a reach to say that the general public didn’t care much for it, which sums up Walter Hamada’s time in general. On another note, it would be funny if this strike goes on long enough that WB will be forced to put out the Ayer Cut of SS, or even the Schumacher Cut of Batman Forever, just to have something to release. Didn’t the Schumacher Cut have a screening a few weeks ago?

The vast majority of actors do not get paid nearly as much as the big names.

You gotta love that these executives have acknowledged that the strike is hurting their bottomline, but they refuse to do the simple solution in terms of ending it, and would rather let their talent lose their homes instead.

Some real dystopian shit.

They both suck. Zaslav is just more obnoxious about it.

The AMPTP brought this on themselves.

Had a feeling he was the actor who played Victor Zsasz on Gotham, but I wasn’t certain.

It seems difficult to believe that Deadline would be willing to blacklist themselves by making up a story about how ridiculously cruel the AMPTP is. Someone from the inside had to have told them this.

Does this mean Gunn can stop posting online so much?

What does that have to do with the tweet?

If the AMPTP had nothing to do with it, then they’re gonna need to come out and say it, because that’s beyond a terrible look for them.

I guess they thought they could intimidate the writers by publishing it, but it’s baffling that they apparently didn’t realize how bad it made them look. Did they really think it would endear the public to their side?

Good.

Are we sure that wasn’t just one of those PR relationships?

TSS and Peacemaker are tied to the DCEU. Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller even show up as their DCEU characters at one point. If the goal is to do a hard reboot to distance themselves from what came before, that stuff has to go too. Besides, TSS flopped, and the audience response to it wasn’t really that great. The DCEU in general had failed to leave an impression during Walter Hamada’s run.
