THE MOVIE CRITIC---Quentin Tarantino commented on the movie critic that inspired his upcoming movie after denying it was Pauline Kael, “He wrote about mainstream movies and he was the second-string critic. I think he was a very good critic. He was as cynical as hell.
His reviews were a cross between early Howard Stern and what Travis Bickle [Robert DeNiro’s character in TAXI DRIVER] might be if he were a film critic. Think about Travis’s diary entries. But the porno rag critic was very, very funny. He was very rude, you know. He cursed. He used racial slurs. But his s— was really funny. He was as rude as hell.
He wrote like he was 55, but he was only in his early to mid-30s. He died in his late thirties. It wasn’t clear for a while, but now I’ve done some more research, and I think it was it was complications due to alcoholism.”
TERMINATOR 7---James Cameron said he is working on a possible reboot of the movie franchise, “In discussion, but nothing has been decided...If I were to do another TERMINATOR film and maybe try and to launch that franchise again … I would make it much more about the AI side of it than bad robots gone crazy.”
THE WITCHER---Dolph Lundgren confirmed he will join the cast of the spinoff series currently filming in South Africa, but he did not provide any details on his role. Speculation is that the series will be a prequel featuring the thievery group called the Rats and Lundgren might play bounty hunter Leo Bonhart.
AMERICAN PIE---Seann William Scott there are talks about a new sequel to the 1999 comedy movie, "I don't know, I just love the character so much. We have to have a great idea, and especially these days, it has to be awesome. You know, comedy is tough, and they have always been tough, but you know, comedies have really changed. But I think, honestly, we have been talking about an idea. I had one and I still have one that we've literally just recently started talking about."
TRIVIA---In Joe Dante's tribute to 1950s B-monster movies, MATINEE, character actor Dick Miller played two roles. Miller played Herb Denning, a "protester" hired by B-monster movie creator Lawrence Woolsey, to generate publicity for his new movie, MANT. Herb Denning is named after actor Richard Denning, who starred in the 1950s sci fi movies CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, TARGET EARTH, CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN, DAY THE WORLD ENDED and THE BLACK SCORPION.
Miller's second role in MATINEE was the soldier with a sack of sugar used to attract the giant mutated ant in MANT, the movie-within-a-movie in MATINEE.

MANT was a tribute to 1950s monster movies including THEM!

Yeah he needs to write and direct a Terminator movie for it to make money. Otherwise, someone else makes it with his blessing, he goes on record that it's amazing and a true Terminator continuation, then it tanks after which he says he would have done it differently....
Honestly, I wish he'd walk away from Terminator movies and just put The Abyss and True Lies on 4K and Blu Ray already.

That's true, but I thought ALITA was an absolutely amazing movie nonetheless (barring a few scenes, like the roller derby things, which seemed liked leftovers from Rodriguez' SPY KIDS), and I felt Cameron's stamp here and there throughout, even if he wasn't the director. Especially everything surrounding the world building, and the amazing humanism in Rosa Salazar as the robot. One of my top 10 favourite films that year.
I'm a big fan of the Battle Angel Alita movie, as well. I got obsessed with the manga books like 20 years ago when Cameron first started pursuing the movie as a project of his. Wanted to be prepared, at the time. It took yeeeeears, but the movie delivered. The only thing I didn't like was the forced love story. Rodriguez absolutely sucks at romance in his films. I loved the roller derby stuff. Rodriguez's visual acumen created dynamic sequences with those.

I liked the movie for the reasons Thor mentioned. I never read the manga but I thought the OVA was weak and vapid.
The love story was the center of the story though.
