  • Another year of A Christmas Story (1983). As everyone such @Fire_and_Ice_Returns were praising 2001 as the yardstick for science fiction movies, this is that for Christmas movies (IMHO). Where do I begin to praise what's arguably my favorite movie? …

  • https://deadline.com/2024/12/christopher-nolan-the-odyssey-confirmed-directors-new-film-universal-1236241340/ Points to Nolan for trying the unexpected. I know Disney Animation wanted to do a version of The Odyssey back in the mid 1990's. It didn…

  • Mixed opinions. Every time a former comic book movie director has directed a Superman movie, it has been a mixed bag. I'm just not happy if Lex Luthor is the only villain, again.

  • Yes and no. On both sides, fans and behind the scenes, in all media. EON: it's been shown in many ways, in particular with the general audience. Think about the jarring tone in particular with going from Moore to Dalton. It's in someways better t…

  • https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/chris-evans-returning-to-marvel-1236082100/ I feel that the MCU is taking it too safe with these movies. They could ruin what were actually strong endings for a number of these characters. Alter…
