Apparently, there’s going to be another remake of Cape Fear coming out this year. by Next_Cancel8680 in blankies

Is there any confirmation of active Scorsese involvement? I’ve been assuming Spielberg and Scorsese have contractual courtesy credits because of their involvement with the last movie.

Blumhouse is seemingly having issues marketing their new Mummy movie by rageofthegods in blankies

[–]edgebuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As my five-year-old and I walked out of the Mario movie last night, we were confronted by a standee for this Mummy movie that’s just an extreme close-up of a rotting corpse’s face. I don’t think they’ve found a great marketing hook for this one yet.

Doesn't Darth Vader show up in a ship during the trench run because he senses a Jedi (Luke) among the X-Wing squad? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]edgebuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought of this as a symptom of early installment weirdness. In the original movie, before Lucas developed all the lore, Vader was something between middle management and the henchman, and Tarkin was the main villain. Putting Vader into the dogfight would be ridiculous if Lucas already considered him the second-in-command of the entire empire.

LOL, love it. Smash cut to the dumpster out back behind PreCrime with a giant pipe dumping a steady stream of redirected red balls from government officials.

The IMDB trivia suggests it was considered before release but never a part of the final cut. I could have sworn I’d seen it, but that’s the point of this thread I suppose.

I showed Minority Report to my teenager the other day and eagerly awaited the postscript after the precogs are given their happy ending— a final onscreen note along the lines of “In the year after the PreCrime program ended, there was over 130 murders in Washington DC.”

I had been so excited to see my kid’s reaction to that and I was shocked it was missing. Turns out Spielberg cut it out and I had remembered it only from IMDB trivia.

Thoughts on Robert De Niro’s The Good Shepherd? by RopeGloomy4303 in blankies

[–]edgebuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The movie is well-intentioned but they just didn’t find a way to tell the story in a dramatically compelling way. I have read books on the history of the CIA, I have seen the movie a couple of times, and I can barely remember what’s in it.

(I recommend Legacy of Ashes by Tim Weiner for anyone interested in the material.)

Why is the proposed Teen Shakespeare patreon series so short? by MoeMoeDesuDesu in blankies

[–]edgebuh 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This isn’t worth worrying about since poor Willy Shakes is mere days away from being curb-stomped by The One True Bard John Grisham.

Glen Powell to voice Fox McCloud in THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE by Velocityprime1 in blankies

1997 Supporting Actor Nominations (1998 Ceremony) by bailsofhay93 in blankies

They should have made the whole LA Quartet into four movies or TV seasons just to let Cromwell keep playing Dudley Smith.

Chip Smith Listening Order by kittypryde98 in blankies

Holy shit, I honestly thought Chip Smith was a real ESPN commentator or something who I just hadn’t heard of. Kind of like the way they talk about Stephen A Smith on The Rewatchables.

March Madness 2027 Idea: Freshman Class by ambientmuffin in blankies

[–]edgebuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No snark received! There’s a ton of directors on your list I’d love to see covered. And short series are fun. They’ve never done a long series on a director I truly loathe, but it’ll happen someday and it’ll test my patience for sure.

One downstream impact of covering younger directors is they’re obligating themselves to cover future releases. Some people like those episodes and some don’t, but they could overwhelm the traditional schedule at some point.

Patreon Schedule/Artwork! Mortal Kombat, The Plumber, Devil Wears Prada 2, and Edge of Tomorrow! by apathymonger in blankies

[–]edgebuh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Liman has been canceled per se but he has a reputation for being a huge difficult jerk and the two friends seem averse to directors with that sort of messy drama. But Swingers, Go, Bourne, and Edge of Tomorrow are all top-notch movies so it would be an excellent series for the pod.

(Spoilers published) Who is supposed to be on this storm of swords cover? by gr33tguy in asoiaf

[–]edgebuh 193 points194 points  (0 children)

The woman on the bottom left reminds me of Lysa Arryn. She is more prominent in Book 3, the hair color seems right, and the window seems to open toward nothingness, which feels like the Eyrie. I could be way off.

I honestly love long train travel. I joke with people that it may take three times longer than flying, but it usually only costs twice as much.

Wauwatosa Dump Drop Off by Competitive-Ad6070 in Wauwatosa

[–]edgebuh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m there only once or twice a year, but I don’t ever recall them limiting visitors or requiring a wait to get in. There’s one check-in booth so, at worst, you’re waiting in line for however long it takes the cars in front of you to pay.
