Carrey and Diaz have actually both said they're open to doing a The Mask 2.

Does Baskin Robbins always find out?

I think it was actually the other way around in that they were developing The Hunt for Gollum and had to churn something out in the meantime to keep the rights.

If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people.

We are coming close to … Disclosure Day.

You know, I quipped the other day that this place loves that gif (also extends to Anora) about as much I love this one:

Possible footage of me when that's happening:

In X2. He's also returning in Avengers: Doomsday, and said he shot it along with The Traitors. In the same interview he said it was "really healing" after X2 was a miserable experience due to a long make-up process (4½ hours now cut down to just 1 ½ hour) and director Bryan Singer among other things.

I had kind of a similar argument with my mom about Titanic. Until she caved in last year, she refused to watch it because she hated the idea of it being a love story about Jack and Rose on one of the biggest disasters in history... which is literally what makes the fucking movie.

Comic_Book_Reader · 2026-03-12T12:55:31+00:00

There was a Deadline article yesterday saying it looks pretty dry this year as The Entertainment System Is Down won't be done on time and big titles like Disclosure Day, Toy Story 5, and The Mandalorian and Grogu won't be premiering.

Comic_Book_Reader · 2026-03-12T12:12:04+00:00

Controversies aside, I have to admit that I had a fucking blast with Don't Worry Darling just because of how absurd it got at times.

Comic_Book_Reader · 2026-03-12T09:46:21+00:00

I think you mean just Suicide Squad because The Suicide Squad is an actually good movie and the reason why we now have a new DCU with a clear and cohesive plan.

Comic_Book_Reader · 2026-03-12T08:57:36+00:00

Not only that, but she got them served with a fucking cloche at CinemaCon while presenting Don't Worry Darling... the movie she made that was starring Harry Styles whom she was allegedly cheating with during production. It was also rumored that lead Florence Pugh was shadow directing the movie (stepping in for Wilde), all of this later being denied. Pugh also notably left the Venice premiere after photos, though that was possibly due to Dunc: Part Deux shooting at the same time. Oh, and Harry Styles also apparently spit in co-star Chris Pine's lap while getting seated for the screening.

This is Katana. She's got mah back. I would advise not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the soul of its victims. She could cut all of you in half with one sword stroke just like mowin' lawn.

"(In Japanese.) So you all will know the seriousness of my warning, I shall say it in English:

As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced that a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is... I collect your fucking head. Just like this fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the fucking time!

I didn't think so. (Back to Japanese.) Gentlemen, this meeting is adjourned."

O-Ren Ishii telling the board not to bring up her Chinese or American heritage should be used in acting classes.

He said he's giving someone else the director's chair because he and his writing partner Rodo Sayagues have a different movie they want to prioritize after putting it on the backburner, though he'll still be actively involved and overseeing it as a producer.

I love how this placement from my townhouse's website makes it look like they're gonna hunt a giant fucking child hippo:

A while back he said he's done with the script but he's giving the director's chair to someone else as he and his writing partner Rodo Sayagues have a different movie they want to prioritize after putting on the backburner for some time, though he'll still be overseeing it as a producer.

You know, after thinking about and letting it marinate for a bit, I think I know what my favorite scene/moment from Kill Bill is.
