I'm still of the mind that they shouldn't make more X-movies. I really think the smartest thing to do with the property is to give it The Defenders treatment in short, online seasons.

The smartest thing I think Marvel ever did with X-Men was the 90's cartoon. Not because it was the pinnacle of storytelling or animation, but X-Men is such a team-heavy story that you need to space it out. There's too much to squeeze into 2 hours, and then it tends to become "The Wolverine Show, starring Wolverine and some other guys" (sorry, Hugh). Plus, small-screen quality has improved dramatically. Do 8-10 episode seasons, give people time to know the characters individually as well as together, and then it also gives you time to add or remove characters without people going, "who?" or just not being emotionally involved.

I'm actually kind of excited... they have a bunch of comedians in it, including Hugh Laurie.

Interestingly enough, it wasn't supposed to be John C. Reily as Watson, but the other actor (Sascha Baron Cohen) had to drop out. He basically did this movie as a personal favor to Will Ferrell.

....they cast Will Ferrell in a buddy film about Sherlocke Holmes...and they DIDN'T think to get John C. Reiley at first? What a wild world.

It'll be like when Ultimate Spider-man did it...only this looks like it'll be infinitely better, and I say that even if its bad because Ultimate Spider-man stunk to high heaven.

Looks good but I don't know why the truck driving past was made into a jump scare. That just seemed so strange. I mean, if it was Christine I could see it.

If I remember the book correctly, big trucks play a pretty key role in a couple of deaths.... so..... foreshadowing?

*shivers* Ever since I had Li'l Z, that truck part is why I can't reread the book or rewatch the old movie anymore. I love King's stuff, but that is too close to home. And knowing it's based on a semi-identical situation with his own son makes it so much worse.

I don't mind the supernatural stuff, but things that can happen easily everyday? :hide:

With apologies for the picture that features prominently on that page.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

...ah, but seriously, this is something that always bothered me, even as a kid. If I were in bed and my family was watching something with babies in distress on TV? It would freak me out. I could watch gory horror movies as a teen, but movies with domestic violence or recreation of wars? Nope, I'd lose sleep. And yeah, like the trope, I think being an adult has only made some of those things worse.

Been a really, REALLY long time since I've read it. Like when it first came out in the early 1980's. So you are probably correct.

Big truck is probably the most horrifying scene in the original movie.

That movie hasn't aged well, so I'm looking forward to the new one. I wonder if there will still be a ghost or if they'll streamline him out. Having more kids also changes things.

That's still Frank Welker doing the voice of the cave, presumably he will still do the voice of Abu as well.
Looks like they've tapped Will Smith to do Genie. But it just won't be the same without Robin Williams. We never had a friend like him. :(

I'm morbidly curious how Tim Burton will do the "Pink Elephants" scene in the live action Dumbo. Other than that, blegh.

I'll definitely watch the Youtube clip of that scene alone.

But Will Smith is a good choice if they want likeable while a different take.

Aladdin was the first movie I can remember seeing in theatres, I still have so many of the songs from it on my daily playlist. The Cave of Wonders here is spot on.

Will it be vastly different, sure, but I'm still really excited.

Aladdin is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies, but like all the live action remakes, I have zero interest in this.

Hopefully it means a new BluRay release of the animated movie, though. It's currently unavailable to buy new. And used copies are stupidly expensive.
