  1. What happened to the Stormlands after the fall of Stannis? Was it ever mentioned who took over in any of the S5 and S6 bonus content? Definitely Dragonstone as that seat seems to be etched in a wall of what looks like dragon glass.
  2. Desperate but yet unrepentant and super resilient Cersei grew on me fast!
  3. Josh Boone scouting locations in Boston. Maybe we will finally get official casting news and a release date at Fox's CinemaCon presentation.
  4. The actress is half-Indian. Is the character supposed to be white? As in, do they show both of her parents to be Caucasian?
  5. Annoying Sing continuing to rain on Moana's parade. How much is Moana's WW at now?
  6. It was handed to him on a silver platter and almost all of it was just voice over anyway.
  7. This is the best any reasonable human being could hope for from this, so YAY!
  8. We tend to underestimate audiences. The massive majority of them aren't as bigoted as all that. SW7 and BatB opening huge despite the nontroversies surrounding them is proof of that. As for Zendaya in particular, I'm interested in seeing how she fares in Homecoming and The Greatest Showman. If she proves she has the appeal and chops and breaks out (she is already popular but I meant on an even bigger scale thanks to these two movies), then sure, go for it. Casting her as Ariel would also be hilariously cool because then she'd be playing the live action versions of redheaded girlfriends of both famous animated characters voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes in the late 80's/early 90's: Prince Eric and Peter Parker/Spider-Man
  9. I think Aladdin will be the next Disney live action fairytale to be big in India. Not JB level obviously, but impressive enough. The original animation seems to have been far more popular in the country than the other Renaissance films (correct me if I am wrong), going by the number of Indian imitations to be found online, and I've seen petitions requesting for Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone to be cast as Jasmine.
  10. He returned to the X-Men after leaving X3 over creative differences. And he wanted to continue after First Class, only he wanted to do Kingsman first and he had a different idea for the X-prequel trilogy where he wanted a complete period film set in the 70's with a recast Wolverine post-FC, and then an 80's set DoFP after the 70's X-flick with Hugh Jackman meeting NuWolverine. It was Fox and Singer/Kinberg who decided to go with DoFP set in the future and immediately after FC, sans Vaughn and a younger actor playing 70's Wolverine. To Vaughn's credit, he was very graceful about the whole thing saying it was "Bryan's franchise". Source
  11. Ethel (who is actually Barb) did it because she needed a replacement to take her place in the Upside Down.
  12. The homophobia is right out of Frank Miller's source material (Miller is a raging bigot in general but apparently he draws the line at Trump, so uh, good for him?). Good ole Zack tends to sprinkle in homoerotic elements in most of his movies thanks to his obsession with peak bods and hence the weird clash in 300.
  13. Never in my life did I ever imagine there would exist a Guy Ritchie musical starring Middle Eastern debutantes...
  14. So somebody Googled 2012's biggest markets, saw that India was one of them, and promptly ensured that this too has a sequence where India gets wrecked by Nature. From end frame to end frame, this trailer is a huge win when it comes to audience analysis.
  15. Anything over 250M or Winter Soldier would be insane. You have to remember that there was almost zero buzz for this before that first trailer dropped and exploded just 5 months back or so.
  16. What went wrong with Apocalypse is the need to introduce and kill paper thin female relatives of Magneto for the third time coz manpain is greater than focusing more on the teen superheroine who ends up eviscerating the titular character like its no big deal.
  17. DC cannot do it for their marquee characters and franchises. BvS was the third highest selling toy merchandise of 2016 behind Trolls and Dory so they hanging on to those family accessible PG-13's. Fox cannot make money off X-Men merch so they can do whatever they want with the movie ratings.
  18. That strong number for a royally screwed up take on ATLA makes me weep for the shocking waste of immense potential. It was supposed to be the next Harry Potter dammit.
