Why did you signed Brando's lines as Jabba?

 

 

Since Hurl suggested a Jabba the Hutt version of The Godfather he really needs to be one of the Corleones.  Given that I wanted to do a Huttese version of "make an offer he can't refuse" line in Huttese, Don Vitto it was.

[Hurlshort]

Hopefully the check from Disney is in the mail for my idea and Amentep's screenplay.

[Blarghagh]

I've seen only the first Jurassic Park.

Unless you are obsessed with dinosaurs, you haven't missed much. And I'm a fanboy saying that.

[injurai]

JP3 is bad from what I remember.

 

JP2 is stupid fun, especially if you like Goldblum.

[Blarghagh]

I'd reverse it. JP3 is a stupid fun monster flick. JP2 is pretentious and its lead characters make the villains look good. Everything bad in that movie happens because Goldblum and his team are self-righteous pricks.

Looks good.

Disturbing lack of actual Venom in Venom movie trailer. I would be displeased if the movie was about internal struggle of Brock and Venom actually showed up at the climax.

 

 

I imagine its more of a "it is too early for visual effects to be ready for a trailer" than anything else.  But that's pure speculation on my part.

[injurai]

Or just saving the reveal for a proper trailer. It's called teaser after all.

[ShadySands]

I'd go so far as to hope they don't reveal Venom at all before release

[Raithe]

Eh, I'll throw this on the nerdgasms thread for the sake of argument..ahem, discussion.

 

Could Thrawn have saved Star Wars?

Clearly not, Heir to the Empire didn't subvert anyone's expectations. It couldn't have been awesome. Right Rian?

[algroth]

Not bad, but I'm getting a bit of a Fant4stic vibe from it. Mind, I also thought the teasers/trailers for that looked pretty good (all thoughts on the film aside, which I haven't seen but trust to be as bad as they say).

That article is factually wrong in places- the Thrawn Trilogy/ HTTE was the first book in ages, but the Dark Empire comics predated it and was directly contradicted by it in places despite both being canon, and Zahn did not have carte blanche on the project either. His blueprint would also have failed because Harrison Ford would have refused to do 3 more movies, especially at the height of his fame and bankability in the early 90s. Pretty sure that Fisher was also... not at her most reliable then either.

 

Peripherally I'd also very strongly argue that you don't have to have hard set binary morality in Star Wars and that was not why TLJ got a lot of dislike. People didn't hate Luke being 'morally grey' (for want of a better term) in TLJ just because it wasn't jedi like, they hated it because it was a direct contradiction of Luke's established characterisation. 'Grey' morality in SW is certainly polarising though, both 'Traitor' and KOTOR2 have a lot of people who love them and some who hate them for not conforming to the usual good/ evil dichotomy.

I just want to see a pic of the him AS Venom. Eddie Brock (of that's the character he's playing) is boring, Flash Thompson was a more interesting Venom tbh, if he somehow got recruited into Shield near the end and became Agent Venom then that would be quite amazing, or imagine if the main villain was Carnage Queen or Anti-Venom.

 

The trailer itself seems to have a Suicide Squad vibe as far as the cinematography, point to point, colorize crystalization, etc. I really hope it's good, I hope it surprises me as my intellect is vast among reasoning but at the same time, I'm not going to set myself up for disappointment.

 

I guess what I'm saying is that I hope this movie goes toward new-skool Venom and not classic Venom. Classic Venom is boring as hell while new Venom is actually interesting and more to the character.

 

We shall see...

[algroth]

I'm not seeing the Suicide Squad connection, which is for the best since that's one of the worst films in recent years.

[SonicMage117]

I mean the the color filter and dark vibe it's going for which seems moreorless very similar to Suicide Squad, maybe a bit of Punisher as well. I haven't really heard anything of the story or the characters but I imagine that it will be screwed up somehow. Here's to hoping I'm wrong though.

 

I agree that Suicide Squad is terrible, but DC movies are a bit disappointing in general... from Christopher Nolan's realism take on Batman films to the newer Justice films. The shows, on the other hand, are another story. The Flash, Arrow, Legends and Supergirl (Arrowverse) have only impressed me with just how many easter eggs and backgrounding they've consistently delivered.

 

As for Marvel, my experience has been (mostly) just the opposite. The movies have impressed me - except for the terrible X-Men films, while only a few shows have really drawn me in. Couldn't get into Agents Of Shield, Punisher, Iron Fist or Luke Cage but I loved Inhumans and The Gifted. I'm looking forward to Black Panther and I can already tell Infinity War is going to be a fun, unstructured mess of an action masterpiece.

 

Venom, the trailer feels half-arsed to me for a number of reasons but I suspect the next trailer will actually either show us the actual Venom character or at least give us an idea of who the villain is. Carnage Queen, Anti-Venom or maybe the first Ben Parker synth and the spider-slayers... any of thesw would make for great villains. A straight up Carnage ot Sinister 6 would be disappointing as villain.

 

As a Venom fan, I'm not impressed so far but it's just a poor trailer compared to other Marvel trailers & teasers. Venom isn't/wasn't ever as dark as some people think, scary and creepy yes but I have a feeling that they're gonna totally excuse the comedy and goofiness that has always been a part of Venom characters since he was created.
