LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2msJTFvhkU4
1917---photos released from the World War I movie directed by Sam Mendes (SKYFALL). The cast includes Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth and Richard Madden.
THE BATMAN---reportedly the movie's four villains are (in order of ranking):
The Riddler--a criminal mastermind in Gotham City who takes delight in incorporating riddles and puzzles into his schemes, leaving them as clues for the authorities to solve."
The Penguin--"Gotham City mobster...short, obese man with a long nose, and he uses high-tech umbrellas as weapons."
Catwoman--"Gotham City burglar...wears a tight one piece outfit and uses a bullwhip for a weapon."
Firefly--"a professional arsonist...attempts to burn all the places that he lacked the privilege to go as an orphan child."
THE BALLAD OF RICHARD JEWELL---Paul Walter Hauser (COBRA KAI) will play security guard Richard Jewell in the Clint Eastwood movie about Jewell, who was falsely accused of being the bomber in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Sam Rockwell will play Jewell's attorney.
GLADIATOR---producers Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald said the sequel to the 2000 Russell Crowe movie is still in development. MacDonald said, “We’re working with Ridley Scott, that’s one we wouldn’t touch unless we felt in a way to do it was legitimate. We’re working with an amazing writer as well, Peter Craig (THE TOWN, MOCKINGJAY)." Parkes added, “It picks up the story 30 years later… 25 years later.”
RAMBO: LAST BLOOD---Sylvester Stallone said he might return for another sequel if LAST BLOOD is successful, “Let me just say something about the ‘last’ of anything. I thought Rocky 3 was the last, you know. So I don’t know anything. If it works I’ll just keep going, you know, because I enjoy it so much.”
BAD DOG---Lionsgate comedy movie underway about the Devil's dog, Bub, who is banished from Hell by a rival. Bub is adopted by a loving family and protects them when the Devil arrives to bring Bub back to Hell.

Looked up the composer; surely they'd hire somebody who has demonstrated the talent of Goldsmith to the point where even the score was parodied in "The Simpsons", to score fi ... the Newton Brothers.
Never mind.

I have a big fresh hot cup of WHY? here.

I thought Rocky 3 was the last, you know. So I don’t know anything. If it works I’ll just keep going, you know, because I enjoy it so much.”
Why tell us it's the last only to go back and tell us it might not be?

This has "Cancelled after one season" written all over it. Have you guys seen the photos?

I think the appropriate response was already done at another message board I post at sometimes:

RAMBO: Well, it's nice to know I won't spend the running time of the film waiting for Rambo to die at the end....

Justin: "i have a big fresh hot cup of WHY? here."
I like this phrase and i want to start using it more in conversation.

RE: THE BATMAN- They never learn. One villain isn't enough, we need two, no three, how about four?!
The story is guaranteed to be a rushed frivolous mess.
It can certainly be done with multiple villains. I thought Dark Knight successfully juggled Joker, Two Face, Scarecrow, and numerous mafia bosses. The trick is to not give them all equal time and focus. Firefly could be a great cold open villain, and Penguin could give Batman something to do while Riddler is slowly revealing his schemes. Also, I doubt Catwoman will be a villain. She plays by her own rules, and looks out for herself, but for the most part she ends up teaming up with Batman when things become serious.
That said, I am concerned for the project. For a long time they have been selling the solo Batman film as a smaller film where Batman actually uses his detective skills. Based on the above description I am not filled with confidence this will happen.

The Screenwriter -- "a semi-homeless Starbucks hipster who complains about Hollywood running out of ideas while churning out the same. Starts every script with a Nietzsche quote. Hobbies: patchouli gardening, inhaling one's own farts. Dislikes: Citizen Kane, Watertower security guards, low wi-fi signals, gluten."
GLADIATOR---producers Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald said the sequel to the 2000 Russell Crowe movie is still in development.

"Legitimate?" I was barely entertained the first time. Legitimizing its mehness does it no favors.
Parkes added, “It picks up the story 30 years later… 25 years later.”
20 years later... 10 years later... 1 year later... 2 seconds later... 30 minutes before... IT'S A PREQUEL SEQUEL MIDQUEL QUELQUEL!
