  1. I think IronJimbo just couldn't compute the idea that an actor turned down Cameron. Still, would have been a hell of a payday for Damon.
  2. I know it's a cheap shot at this point but I'm continually amazed at how bad the wigs on Johansson are given the budget of these movies.
  3. Matt Damon turned down a role in the first Avatar even though Cameron offered him a 10% profit cut. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/matt-damon-christian-bale-ford-v-ferrari-interview
  4. I think the double standard comes about primarily because they still insist on using a waaaaay past his prime Arnold. It's that Star Wars conundrum of not having enough faith in the conceit without the familiar actors.
  5. When did filming start? Feels like even for Bond that's taken a while.
  6. Well I guess that was inevitable. I hope they're paying Neill a lot of money. (PS: him and Goldblum have aged exceptionally well. JP was over a quarter of a century ago!)
  7. Mildly shocked at that Downton number. I knew it had a cult in America but I didn't think that translated to 31m on an OW.
  8. tfw you're so desperate for anything Avatar related you get excited over a fucking mobile game.
  9. Those posters are an eyesore. Lucky the early reviews are so great, because marketing for this has kind of sucked.
  10. Haha, I knew they couldn't resist the RDJ baiting. Even after he dies we're going to have Rogue One style CGI 'reimaginings' of his Iron Man, aren't we?
  11. Vox Lux was good, though I can see why many didn't care for it. I didn't even know this film existed so have no opinion about it bombing critically, except to say it's a travesty that Jon Hamm isn't a huge movie star already.
  12. "Don't call me angel" sounds like it's telling off the movie's own title. Anyway, I look forward to another Sony action comedy flop.
  13. This film is getting the reviews the book should have received.
  14. Someone summed it up best talking about the 'Crimes' - the film has no second act. It's two hours of a first act that jumps straight to the third before the credits suddenly roll out of nowhere. There'll be another but for god sake get a decent script first. If that means not allowing Rowling to do it then so be it.
  15. Quite surprised by the reactions, thought this would be a slightly middlebrow awards bait but seems to be much better than that. Happy for Mangold.
  16. "Theodore Decker" Ha, I forgot the protagonist was called that. Pretty much encapsulates the middlebrow sensibilities of the book.
  17. A good way to rectify that is by watching the Shining. Not for this movie's sake, but because it's worth seeing anyway.
  18. The first 50 pages are good. The remaining 700 are not.
  19. Ah, glad reactions are good. Wasn't impressed by the trailer but I have a weakness for whodunnits and god knows and mid-budget movie aimed at adults is up against it these days.
