Good Luck with the Fantastic Four. No one has figured out how to write and direct that one, yet.

Speaking of John Wick, Jessica Chastain has a copycat on Netflix right now called Ava.
A few big names in it, but pretty mediocre stuff.

Saw it. Wish I could unsee it.
With all the competing streaming services looking for content, we're going to see A LOT of the same movies with a slight variation and different faces. It's great for people working in the industry, terrible for viewers.

And both kind of stolen from "A History of Violence" with Viggo Mortensen. Really good movie.
That was a good movie.

I watched the trailer and it depressed me so much I doubt I'll watch the movie. I need something uplifting these days....you know, violence or sex.(I kid, I kid...but I do need uplifting)

I watched it tonight. Watchable, but not really a lot there. Hard to really care about the characters. May have been better as a limited series instead of a movie where perhaps some characters could have been built to the point that maybe we would care about them

I just noticed the Fantastic 4 post. How many times are they going to remake it?! I think they try to remake it every 5-10 years.
Also, there's an interesting back story to the Fantastic 4 franchise, and it's really a bigger story about how the machinations of Hollywood works:
The fantastic story of the worst superhero movie ever made
Roger Corman’s unreleased 1994 film The Fantastic Four was doomed from the start.

I’d love to see HBO or Netflix take on Astro City—like “The Boys”, but I thought the writing was betterI just noticed the Fantastic 4 post. How many times are they going to remake it?! I think they try to remake it every 5-10 years.

I've only read a couple of Astro City stories, but they're excellent.
Looks like it's being attempted, but March 2018 is quite a while ago at this point.

I think the difference this time is that it's with a studio that has comic book geekdom embedded in-house and the full range of Marvel characters to apply to it.I just noticed the Fantastic 4 post. How many times are they going to remake it?! I think they try to remake it every 5-10 years.

Feige has a magic touch at this point.
