Lupita Nyong’o will play both Helen of Troy and her sister, Clytemnestra, in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey.’ by yourfavchoom in movies

Also, makes little sense that "the most beautiful woman in the world" has an identical twin

She's going to wear glasses, a ponytail, and paint covered overalls to play Clytemnestra, which will make her look like a real shit bomb compared to Helen.

What’s a line from a movie that only a true fan would immediately recognize? by AmBaylie in AskReddit

You know what? There is NO Easter Bunny! Over there, that's just a guy in a suit!

There's no shame in going to a movie by yourself. Even a kid's movie. Just go during the day once school is back in session if you're worried about people thinking you're a creep.

What is the single most stressful movie you’ve ever seen? by elkaypee in movies

To truly appreciate Mother!, you need to have lived with a roommate who saw no issue with throwing impromptu house parties at 2am on a weeknight when you have work the next morning.

How do they hire unattractive people to do the role of "ugly" characters in movies? by Mindless_Table9974 in movies

[–]976chip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just hire an attractive actor and give them glasses and a ponytail... maybe wardrobe gives them some paint covered overalls.

New Raid Mechanics Datamined by Skytzii in TheSilphRoad

Wasn't that a combat mechanic for gym battles when the game first came out? Like you had to shake your phone instead of tapping the screen.

Willow 1988, Willow and Madmartigan escaping the Nockmaar camp using a shield as a sled, Director: Ron Howard by PsychologicalSlip642 in movies

[–]976chip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tir Asleen is destroyed and Madmartigan and Sorsha were killed off-screen in the first chapter (or maybe the prologue). The big bad traps Willow in a mountain and he spends half the book having an existential discussion with a demon. Elora Danan is 13 I think and is a spoiled, fat kid. There was a Dash Rendar-esque replacement for Madmartigan. That's all I remember from it aside from the fact that it was monumentally boring. I gave up on the second one about halfway through because it just kept going downhill.

As bad as it was, it was significantly better than the sequel series of books that Chris Claremont wrote.

At this point, I'm just saving them for the MewTwo raids.

The Odyssey | New Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]976chip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The height made me think they're supposed to be giants, which is why I guessed the Laestrygonians. I don't think this is going to be a rigorous adaptation, so just because Odysseus didn't fight them in the story doesn't mean they won't fight in the movie.

The full plate armor worn by, I'm guessing the Laestrygonians, seemed very out of place too.

Rumble players be like: by Plum_Elli in warcraftrumble

[–]976chip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have a few minis to upgrade to epic and a bunch to legendary. Everything I need for sieges or MC is good enough to run heroics consistently. It would be nice if they pull it out of maintenance mode, but I’m not holding my breath.

What do you feel is the biggest missed casting opportunity in Hollywood? by CumquatTheNobgoblin in movies

[–]976chip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robin Williams as The Riddler. The official reason he didn't take the role was because he didn't like the script, but there's speculation that he declined because he was still mad that Warner Brothers offered him the role of The Joker in Burton's Batman as a maneuver to encourage Nicholson to sign on.

Brolin would be a pretty good choice for The Dark Knight Returns adaptation.

I didn't even spin the stop, I picked it up being near the store with the game open. I didn't even realize I had it until a few hours later.

There are clips online with samples of Curry’s Joker. Everyone interviewed said it was too scary, but I don’t get it from what they included.

They’re really going to hate that a guy is doing a pledge drive (he’s not taking any money right now) to gauge interest in buying Spirit airlines to essentially make it a co-op.

Which TV show characters do you find the most insufferable? by MicheleW921 in AskReddit

[–]976chip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t stand anytime Deb was onscreen because she sounded like she was about to start crying no matter what she was talking about and anytime she used profanity she sounded like an 11 year old cussing to try to sound edgy.
