He’s a marvel villain a lot of people don’t like lol. Sort of Marvel’s equivalent of Mr. Mytzylpyk from the DC universe.

Wynonna Earp (2016)
To be honest, the production company was in huge financial trouble and we almost didn’t get this final season to begin with because of all that.
Plus, SYFY seems to be moving away from shows like this since both Earp
and Van Helsing are ending.
They seem to have all their money on Resident Alien, their TZGZ animated shows and their hotly anticipated Chucky show.

Syfy wants original programming because that’s where the money’s at. It’s why Dark Matter ultimately got the boot. Anything they don’t own 100% that fails in ratings even a little gets the axe pretty easily. And it’s a shame. This was, admittedly, nowhere near as good as Dark Matter but it delivered consistently. Also, this show poaching Tim Rozon (one hell of an actor) to play Holliday led to a really funny joke in Schitt’s Creek.

This Rutger Hauer’s finest leading role until Hobo with a Shotgun (2011). And I am willing to fight anyone who disagrees in a steel cage. Not quite as good as, say, Conan the Barbarian (1982) or Labyrinth (1986), it easily ranks up there with Willow (1988) and Legend (1985). This is classic 80s Sword and Sorcery.
As one commenter pointed out, the soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired. It does frequently rank in the Top 50 Worst but at least there’s no man dressed in spandex pants and towing chains making love to a saxophone in the middle of it or anything like that.

Exactly..so unfortunate. It was a powerhouse up until this season, IMO. I really tried to hang in there but I gave up about 4 eps in. I even tried to come back, but even most reviews agreed with me. Perhaps they should’ve pulled out the last season to end on a much better note.

I knew it was destined to be cancelled after the 1st season when 1/2 the cast and production crew left. Then they canned Orlando Bloom whose character was a huge selling point. The thing is this book wasn’t very long. This should’ve been a 2 season show. All the filler crap they added to it… They should’ve learned a lesson from watching the mess Game of Thrones turned into after there was no more source material. And hiring Marilyn Manson is NEVER a good idea. lol It was too far off the rails at the beginning of season 3.
Debris (2021) S1 E9
This is an appellation to the entire entertainment industry: Quit spoofing on Groundhog Day (1993). Source Code (2011) Edge of Tomorrow (2014) were kinda lit but after Boss Level (2021) and in anticipation of Free Guy (2021 and, honestly, Boss Level was a 1990s-style “straight to DVD” ripoff of this same idea) give it a rest for a few years. I know it wasn’t the first (or even the 3rd) but Groundhog Day is prolly the most famous example. This plot device has been so run into the ground that there’s a Wikipedia page dedicated to listing movies where people are stuck in time loops. There’s also lists of TV shows that do the same floating around on Ranker, et al. We’re fed this trope upwards of 5 times a year. It’s like… I dunno, like we’re stuck in a time loop and each time it’s slightly different! If Debris does an episode where they all go to an onsen, I swear to God I’m a fistfight my computer.

As of 3 days ago production was in full swing. No date has been announced yet but the earliest you can expect it is maybe mid-2022.
And it’ll be nice to see Jensen Ackles playing a role where he doesn’t have a brother/sister named Sammy who makes him crazy. Considering he’s been using the catchphrase, “Dammit, Sammy!” since 1997, he’s due for a palate cleanser.

‘LADYHAWKE’ is one of a number of movies that would have been an absolute classic except for one thing.. in this case the music soundtrack provided by ALAN PARSONS PROJECT. For those who weren’t around at the time, APP was a prog rock band from the 80s who made a few excellent albums. Sadly the soundtrack for Ladyhawke was not among their successes and the synth-led tones seriously detract from what would’ve otherwise been a brilliant movie, it IS a brilliant movie but the bloody music is so loud and invasive it really ruins the effect of the whole. So in Booger’s comment above, “What’s not to like?” Sadly that’d be the AWFUL music which UTTERLY RUINS an otherwisde great film.. Damn! Watch and weep! :((x

I just saw Julienne Moores face on the thumbnail and clicked on the link without even knowng anything about it. Then I saw Stpehen Kings name in the page and got really intrigud to watch it.
But then, next to King, I saw the name JarJar Abrams… :/
You mustn’t have gotten the e-mail. Jar-Jar Binks is dead like Bucky. It’s canon. And Abrams hated that minstrel show as much as the rest of us—so much that he wanted to include Jar-Jar’s bleached bones out in the desert as an easter egg in Episode VII. “Three people will notice,” he said, “but they’ll love it.” Ultimately the decision was made that it’s best to forget Jar-Jar and the dodgey prequel movies as best we can. So even mentioning his name is tantamount to heresy. Anyway, Bad Robot is a solid production company. Not everything he makes is great (cough-Cloverfield-cough) but it’s impossible to hit a Homerun every time, right?
Having said that last bit, and watched the first episode, I’m not sure if I like this yet. I need to watch a few more episodes to decide. Sometimes setups can be slow so some shows deserve a healthy benefit of the doubt. A bunch of otaku and incels harassing and speaking crassly to a grieving widow is hardly an enthralling premise. But maybe this was King imagining his own death a la John Lennon/George Harrison? Did you know Stephen King’s wife hates being referred to as “Stephen King’s wife” because she feels she’s her own person with her own list of accomplishments to be proud of? I couldn’t help but think of this as I watched this premiere. If King was gunned down by someone off his lithium who read The Catcher in the Rye one too many times, would Überfans and nutcases be pestering Tabitha for scraps of unfinished work?
If anything is a portent of evil it’s the “An Apple Original” part. They’re the M Night Shyamalan of big tech companies. I’ve given the streaming service’s original content a few looks a few times and the rolling of my eyes was audible.

A good film with a bit of historical truth in it—good IF you like vampire movies, that is. I like that it highlighted all the speculation and controversy surrounding Stoker’s famous novel in the midst of all this Irish legend. A bit bummed the Pogues song that this film derives its name from isn’t part of the soundtrack, though.

What a complete waste of time!!!! They suck ya in with the first season and then this season, well I won’t be watching season 3 Lol This episode and all of the other 9 could of been a 1-2 episode special. Not like that would make it any better but still, there wouldn’t be fans pissed because they struggled along all season for this…..Yes this episode was better than the last 6 but still sucked!!! Uneventful and boring to say the least, then the best part is they don’t answer a single question all season haha Well other than “Item 1” being a rock Lol WOW what a disappointment!!!
It’s the first lithic flake that was used to make fire. So that’s something, I guess. I have a feeling “Mr. World” is really Loki at this point. None of this was in the book; they about ran out of source material midway through Season 2. I wouldn’t be surprised is Starz finally cancels this out-of-control show especially after all the staffing issues they seem to have.

I think Chris Rock has potential to be a serious actor if he’s allowed to spread his wings a bit more. This was an alright movie, a little predictable, but well acted. Kinda weird seeing a heavy hitter like Samuel L Jackson taking second fiddle to Chris Rock, even though he’s a great actor in his own right.

Comedians often do really well in dramatic roles. You got to be able to keep a straight face, act convincingly pissed or sad to sell a joke sometimes. Look at Jim Carrey or Robin Williams (R.I.P.). Even Dane Cook did okay in Dan in Real Life (2007). Besides all that, you see Season 4 of Fargo released last year? Chris did pretty damn good in that.

He would come back twice more, in 1987 and again in 1989, to do voices for the show. Avery did quite a bit of voicework in his 33 year career.

Because the writers in hollywood don’t know how to appeal to the actual fandom of the original characters. The screwed up so badly on several of the MCU movies like daredevil and ghost rider, not to mention the punisher movie, hell the netflix series were better when it was the DD and the punisher series. And those stories didn’t have to screw up anything, I mean really? Tasky took a corrupted version of the super soldier serum and thats what enhanced his abilities even more it wasn’t anything like the movie. But you’re absolutely correct, it would have been a great movie if they would have added that in instead of the garbage they threw together for that character. And changing the character into a woman? no Taskmaster always tested himself against the avengers, he intentionally fought steve and tony one on one to see how he progressed but still they had to go screw that up.

Well, yeah, naming aside they’re all Kang and there’s like 30 of them. If that was Immortus’ castle at the end there I just hope to God it’s not leading to more Fantastic Four in some roundabout way. lol Fantastic Four movies have always been terrible and I wasn’t a huge fan of the `90s cartoon on Fox, either. And hopefully they don’t pull a cheap fast one where a Loki variant from another timeline IS the Immortus variant and ruler of Limbo. lol

I liked it but I didn’t love it I found the story predictable
the effects were pretty cool but besides that almost no comedy
it was kinda just seriouse the whole time.
the king queen thing with a blue electric type skeleton was really a B movie type idea Snyder didint have 4 hours this time and it shows
he tried to fit so much but it just feels messy
still a solid 3/5

And that’s the long and short of it. They’re never gonna do better than the 1995 film. It’s a classic, it’s well done, it’s enshrined. They might come close, they might make something palatable for a quick cash grab but nothing will ever stand up to the original. I think the same can be said about Tim Burton’s Batman movies (even though I know there’s a rather large minority who think Chris Nolan is the tits).

Still using a mix of Martial artists that aren’t good actors and actors that aren’t martial artists. You’d think 26 years on from the original they’d have at least sorted that out. Where was the iconic soundtrack? Just didn’t do it for me. Liked Scorpion, Raiden & Sub Zero but everyone else was average. So many other good martial artists out there that could have done a better a job than this bunch.

It definitely would have/could have been better if they had more actors who could both act and fight. BUT they prolly didn’t have the money to, say, cast Jason Statham as Kano (and would he have agreed?) and some possible choices, like Jason Scott Lee as Liu Kang, are too old now. And it was nice to see Hiroyuki Sanada—a competent swordsman—but he’s not exactly the gymnastically inclined sort of martial artist to play a ninja. But that’s the tradeoff. Most competent martial artists (with a few exceptions) aren’t very good actors and the majority of high-paid actors make the big bucks just to look pretty. This movie could have been far, far worse, though. It was okay, just not up to hype.

Shame, I started watching and got annoyed by Keen then confused (idky I’ve watched every ep-sometimes 2xs), that I had to stop. I will have to attempt it again. I actually think I stopped completely or fast forwarded for last episode and never came back (SMH). I just hate that it’s forcing to watch Keen, but what can I do-I love this darn show! LOL
For a while this season I thought she was going nuts or had some kind of head injury because of the hallucinations and such. Then she went on vacation from the show for a while there. Abandoned plot line or did I miss something? I wonder if she’s quitting because the writers are having her pull a Daenerys Targaryen this season and she’s not feeling it.
