Star Wars 8 And Other News

New Radio show coming on Thursday: Civil War, Box office predictions, etc.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/42525/a-wings-return-isaac-teases-star-wars-ep-8
One of my favorite models to build in the good old days. Can't wait to see what other ones they are bringing back. Also includes video for charity with BB8 and Oscar Isaac.

http://screenrant.com/wonder-woman-movie-set-video-themyscira/
Molte Benne! Cool behind the scene with green screen, on the set in Italy. Reminds me of all those old Hercules movies  with Steve Reeves and Gladiator movies back in the day.

And it keeps getting better and better no matter how over the top the storyline gets. But the show does have imagination no matter how silly the plot. My only problem is why is this at the same times slot as Supergirl? I usually see Gotham then catch up with Supergirl. Great double header.

http://variety.com/2016/tv/columns/supergirl-season-finale-review-spoilers-melissa-benoist-1201755782/
For starters, they got this mostly right. My favorite character is Cat Grant who's always on her case. Flockhart gets some great lines. Last one being on mentioning Harrison Ford: "I don't date older guys" of course in real life both are an item. But about those SFX budget, cut back on the cast and those guest stars and put it to the effects. Some of them are just plain awful.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/willem-dafoe-joins-the-justice-league-films-as-an-unspecified-good-guy-333
It took this long to switch to the DC Universe after doing Spiderman all those years ago. You can dowrong with Dafoe as a villain. Whatever character it is, it will be good.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/677677-avatar-sequel#/slide/1
Updated news now stating Cameron is filming all for at the same time! That most be confusing for everyone involved that's for sure. But what happens if after the first sequel the rest tank at the boxoffice and people are just tired of seeing tall blue aliens? Glad it's not my money producing these.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/678013-simon-pegg-star-trek-fans#/slide/1
Whichever way you look at it, this does not look good for a 50th anniversary film. Just having new alien villains for the film when they have so much in the catalog to pick from just reminds of ST. Cardissians anyone?

Bonus:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/titanic-sinks-real-time-video_us_571495e8e4b06f35cb6fee00
One date that slip through the crack was the anniversary last week of the tragedy. This new video shows the sinking but scroll to the last 10 minutes where the first funnel falls down. This shows the other 2 funnels falling down and the second half of the ship turning to it's side before sinking. Some thing Cameron's movie does not show.

CA:Civil War Box Office Predictions Already?

New Radio show coming this week: BvS VS Civil War Box Office. (No it's not a joke, lol)

http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/captain-america-civil-war-box-office-opening-tracking-1201755645/
$200 Million opening? DUH! Holy Civil War! Fans were disappointed in that other superhero showdown and this has Spiderman back in MCU. How can this fail? And if the track record holds this will break the $1B World Wide mark for sure. Of course this does not help the Justice League franchise what so ever.

http://www.cnet.com/special-reports/marvel-cinematic-universe-dc-extended-universe-showdown/
While this sounds like a plant from DC Inc. and basically a waste of an article as far as MCU having the final win, I included this mainly because of the animation and pictures included in the article.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/jungle-book-box-office-1201755202/
REview: 3 out of 5. I grew up with the animated musical and sang Bare Necessities all over the house when I was a kid. So of course I prefer that instead of this version which was too dark for me. While the CG and cast was good, except for miscast Walken , I'll stick to with the 1967 version which was a lot more fun. But this is killing at the boxoffice world wide for now, right Captain America?

http://www.thewrap.com/mel-gibson-kurt-russell-kate-hudson-to-star-in-barbary-coast-tv-series/
All three of them going to TV? Wow, at one time these were the big box office stars of their day. But seeing all 3 of them together will be fun as heck as both Gibson and Russell have done westerns with Kurt doing Tombstone. One of his Best Roles with Val "I'm your Huckleberry" Kilmer (and of course Batman) And Gibson doing Maverick who is Directing, writing and starring in the show. The original show got cancelled due to low ratings. Guess Captain Kirk and 007 Jaws couldn't save it. Yep both William Shatner and Richard Kiel starred in the show back in the 1970's..

Bonus:
http://screenrant.com/batman-v-superman-lex-luthor-original-cut/
Another article from last weeks topic on the editing of the film and the 4 hour cut. This explains on what happened to Lex storyline which hopefully will wind up on the Blu-ray release.

Bonus 2:
From the film Hollywoodland. The story of George Reeves who played Superman on tv. Laugh all you want but this underdog has the final laugh of the year by getting the Batman Franchise.

Captain America: Civil War Reviews All Good

New Radio Show Now Playing: BvS Final Boxoffice. This blog will be updated through out the weekend. Podcast with David Brenner on Editing BvS included as bonus link below.

Friday Update:
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4176&p=.htm
We all know Jungle will be No. 1 and all that. But look where the predictions for BvS is, at the 9th paragraph. Talk about no love for the capes, lol. Well here goes the final nail in the coffin.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/features/676789-the-star-wars-news-roundup-for-april-15-2016
A lot of Rogue One preview here and some other cool stuff. Great collection of things to check out and already they have a Collectible preview for the Holidays. Can't wait can we, lol?

Previously:
http://variety.com/2016/film/reviews/captain-america-civil-war-review-1201752643/
Minor spoilers if you haven't seen the trailers but nothing really new here. But the reviews across the board is that this is the better of both films were to superhero icons get a chance to beat the crap out of each other. Gotta love it. Two in one year. Not bad for us fans. And all predictions are pointing to the $1Billion mark for this one.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/deadpool-2-ryan-reynolds-1201753693/
Yes! Hope he gets a raise this time, lol. The best part is the whole creative team is back for this one. If it's not broken not fix it. Now the creative team behind BvsS is back for JL. That is NOT what we want to hear. Fix it!

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/james-cameron-avatar-1201753774/
Now it's up to 4 sequels? What happens if the first one is not all that. Yes it would be rare since Cameron can't do no wrong but Avatar has some serious haters out there and couldn't care less about the sequels to begin with. He should finish the trilogy and take it from there. And maybe think about going back to Terminator and rescue that franchise.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/676589-jason-statham-set-to-star-in-giant-shark-movie-meg
They finally making this and it's about time. Guess that other giant dinosaur movie (Hint:JW) kind of  push it to getting it made. I read this back in the 1990's so it's long overdue. Spoiler alert: The movie ends with Statham biting the Gaint Shark to death. Only kidding but if anyone can, he could, lol.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/warren-beatty-dick-tracy-howard-hughes-movie-1201752997/
Does anyone remember this? Not bad for an old flick. Highlight was Al Pacino as the main villian with makeup and all. And he got an Oscar nomination for this too! Kind of late for a sequel and Beatty is way to damn old. He should do the part of The Mummy instead but who am I to judge?

By request, this is a follow up to the yesterday's article which included deleted scenes from the movie. This is a lot easier to listen to than to read that long ass interview but he does cover a lot more ground on the editing process. Sack Zack should have edited the damn script to begin and he wouldn't have had such a mess. Check out at 20M into the video there's a picture of Batman meeting Superman the first time. Notice the Winnebago in the background. Talk about a small set, lol.

Batman As Directed By Affleck

New Radio coming soon: DC, Marvel, More  BvsS making of.....

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/ben-affleck-batman-standalone-directing-1201752021/

This spread like wild fire last night as the news was posted late and already old news. But good news.

So lets see Actor, Director, Screenwriter, Producer and winner of 2 Oscars doing the new Batman solo movies. Gee what happened to Sack Zack? Oh yeah he's busy doing that other trainwreck. Remember when the internet screamed NOooooooooooo! When his name was announced the fans said he was going to ruin BvS, wow how soon they forget. Him and Reynolds have the final laugh. Underdogs win again, so cool. 

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/676087-over-200-photos-from-the-captain-america-civil-war-premiere#/slide/1

The film that is going to bury BvS at the box office. And already get great reviews. Holy Ouch, Batman. Anyways also at coming soon is the 2 hour video premiere which had a big lag on my PC. So I didn't know how it would play out as a link but you can catch it over there if you like.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/star-wars-trilogy-showings-theaters-1201752139/

While this was to be expected what they don't mention is the 3D format that Lucas wanted and a new transfer for Imax. Us old fans were there for the re-released in plain old 2D. It would be nice to see this revamped since we are not getting the original 1977 release and the 2 that follow. And those tidbits between the films. Why not save it for the Blu-ray release since they are going to milk that too.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/spider-man-homecoming-set-as-881903

Here we go again. Tony Stark visits Aunt May played by a hundredth time by a different actress.

Well at least they dropped the Amazing part of the title. I wonder how much Downey Jr is getting paid for his little part. Whatever it is, it's not enough. Hope he takes them to the bank for screwing up these movies in the first place.

http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/men-in-blackjump-street-crossover-gets-official-title-logo/

If they pull this off watch every friggin crossover happen in the book. Except for Disney. They just want to hog everything for themselves like Spiderman going over to Civil War. Not thats a bad thing lol.

Save the Best for Last Link:

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/first-trailer-for-godzilla-resurgence-carves-out-a-new-path-of-destruction-264

Right off the bat the show the new Godzilla at the beginning of the trailer then a lot of filler before showing him at the end. Is this the film itself. Like the Godzilla 2014 where he totals about 10 minutes of show time? Hopefully not. But the CG looks great for him.

Bonus Link:

http://www.provideocoalition.com/art-cut-batman-v-superman-editor-david-brenner/

Long ass interview but it explains a lot on what went wrong with the film. Almost a 4 hour cut for a fight that only last 10 minutes? And these are the guys that are doing Justice League, Yikes!

Includes deleted scenes that were trimmed from the movie.

Civil War Promos and More

New Radio Show coming this week. SW:TFA BR Review still playing. See bonus link added below which was not covered in last weeks blog.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/get-your-avengers-fix-with-clips-trailers-and-b-roll-footage-from-civil-war-206
Warning: While not major spoilers, it does reveal some major scenes so what do we get?
2 B roll videos with behind the scenes, and 5 videos with over 12 minutes worth of footage and over 30 pics in the gallery! Now that's what I call a promo. This is going to do some box office damage for sure when this is release. And let's not forget our friendly neighborhood Spiderman added to the mix.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/kevin-feige-talks-marvel-studios-role-in-standalone-spider-man-movie
"This is a Sony Pictures production of a Marvel Film". Thanks for heads up. Now we know this is going to suck like the others. Control freaks who can't admit to themselves they don't have a clue on what they're doing with this property. And the same people to did AS2 are doing this. Jeez, they don't learn do they.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/675423-jon-favreau-neel-sethi#/slide/1
Cool 4 minute video on the making of the film that is going to bury BvS. Disney is so proud of this fact that they gave the greenlight for a sequel. A sequel? This hasn't even come out yet for crying out loud! Hey is that a 800 lb. gorilla in the film?. Sorry that's just Disney in the room.

http://www.thewrap.com/sylvester-stallone-and-stx-partner-for-untitled-film-project/
Ok so Sly has another coming down the pike but what happened to Expendables Franchise?

Bonus Video:

The Actor who played as The General  in TFA along with Poe Damon character were both in Ex-Machina out of all things which won for Best VFX Oscar over SW:TFA. I like to ask these actors what they think of that! And never mind its a acting gig!

Move over DC, Here Comes MCU

Star Wars TFA BR Review on Blog Talk Radio Show now playing. New Show coming this week.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/675367-captain-america-civil-war-imax-poster-goes-big#/slide/1
So, where is Spiderman in the poster? Anyways after that big trailer on the MTV awards it's all MCU from here on up. First with Melissa taking away the No. 1 spot and with Jungle Book around the corner this will pave the way for Civil War with Spidey's big introduction in the MCU where he belongs. Batman Vs. Who? They better hurry with that Justice League thing and quick.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/42361/spider-man-in-civil-war-more-than-expected
Even better news for Civil War. With great reviews coming in already for the film, this will be icing on the cake for Marvel fans. Well, this should make up for that DC disappointment.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/russo-reveals-when-guardians-of-the-galaxy-and-avengers-will-cross-over
While we all knew this was going to happen, details should be taken with a grain of salt. Either way, this is what DC is facing. Marvel has plan A, B and C (just in case) DC is just throwing shit to the wind and crossing their fingers.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/mtv-movie-awards-highlights-leo-882377/item/mtv-movie-awards-best-worst-882408
Poor Leo and that damn bear, lol. All in all some good fun even tho this was rigged to the hilt with the awards. Notice those who won were there and no losers in sight. Especially when NWA came down the staircase when they won. How did they know? And where did the audience get those lightsabers. Who cares, all hype and all fun.

http://www.joblo.com/horror-movies/news/skull-island-is-beautiful-and-fiery-in-this-kong-sneak-peek-224
The big question here is still how the size will match with Godzilla. But since this takes place during the Vietnam War during the early 1970's he could go to sleep at the end of the movie to wake up present bigger than usual thanks to scientists playing God of course. Anything is possible.

http://deadline.com/2016/04/fast-8-new-character-scott-eastwood-starring-1201735483/
After adding Charlize Theron now we have Eastwood joining the cast who is the spitting of his Dad. "Do you feel lucky Punk?" This will be a be a real breakthru that he needs to make his own name.

Bonus:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-preview-taking-on-hollywood/
China taking over Hollywood? This was on the show last night and I included this trailer. For the full segment you can go to the 60 Minutes website for a better download. This will be mentioned on the new Radio show this week. A real eye opener. And remember "The Mermaid" made over $500M and BvS tanked! Even Pacific Rim made over $200M over there. What gives?

The Force Is Strong with Blu-ray Review

New Radio Show Now Playing: SW: The Force Awakens BR Review.
Next show: Box Office wrapup including China and MTV Awards.

Friday:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2016/01/15/star_wars_the_force_awakens_vfx_reel_shows_how_new_worlds_are_made_and_destroyed.html
10 minute video on the making of TFA. While on the technical side its fun to follow the process. And this lost to Ex-Machina which won the Oscar for Best VFX? Don't get me started.

Thursday Update:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/rogue-one-star-wars-trailer-881662
AT first I thought why are we going backwards on the story? We have Clone Wars and Rebels. But nothing like seeing those AT-ATs on the big screen. And with Edwards directing whom I've been a fan since "Monsters" (if you read this blog for a few years now, you know what I mean) this movie can't go wrong. A great blast from the past. Ps check out the next trailer and see a Grumpy looking Skywalker, funny.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/674333-rogue-one-teaser-trailer
Trailer broken down to 44 screen shots to catch the all details that you missed with the fast editing.
Not enough shots of the AT-ATs. So that was the disc closing on the Death Star, that's a first.

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/70615/star-wars-the-force-awakens/
Got my copy today. While it has 45 minutes of bonus plus the 1 hour plus documentary, you can't help feeling that there is more content coming in future special editions down the road. The one thing really missing here is a Commentary from JJ who has down these before aka Mission Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise himself. Either way a great package to add to the collection. My review on the BR will be on the next radio show.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/warner-bros-mulls-releasing-films-881265
And they said they were not worried about the boxoffice results from BvsS. They sure changed their tune on the subject. Besides being nervous (again) and changing things around, they only left is sacking Zack himself. Don't kid yourself.  At this rate anything can happened

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/673957-captain-america-civil-war-set-video-takes-you-behind-the-explosive-conflict#/slide/1
3 minute clip from GMA. Interviews with most of the cast but of course while showing Spiderman, there's no mention of him.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/42300/photo-guess-the-star-trek-beyond-aliens
Okay it's 2 actors from F7 but is it me or I couldn't help but look for Ewoks in the background?

The Force Is Back on Blu-ray

Previous Blog Talk Radio Show still playing. BvsS wrap up coming this week.

http://www.comingsoon.net/dvd/features/673023-force-awakens-blu-ray-review#/slide/1
The big reveal is that there are some things missing in this release which has come out already on the internet. And it does mention a possible double dip as in other Star War releases. So what is new with this. And it does mention of the 3D coming out later and that probably has features not included here. Of course they know the die hards will pick this up. Kaching! That greedy mouse. The article has some videos included in this article that are on the disc. Full review on my take on all this will be on the next Radio show.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/673419-maz-kanata-set-photo#/slide/1
Actually a one pic tease followed by previous released pictures but at least we know she's back to answer that question about her having that light saber in her possession.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/zootopia-800-million-worldwide-box-office-1201746114/
While it brags it the second biggest Disney film, it's actually third biggest animation behind Minions! Thank you, lol. But the big surprise it's the second biggest ever in Russia. What's up with that?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-inside-batman-v-880143
Getting tired of this are we? Well I know I am, lol. Big overall breakdown and predictions as well as the aftermath of opening weekend. In one big wrap up, it looks like it will barely hit the $1 Billion mark. Which is not too shabby but compare to other movies like the one above it sure doesn't help matters. And then they expect another Man of Steel 2 to happen. Are they kidding, don't they learn about now?

http://www.latino-review.com/news/tom-hiddleston-talks-kong-skull-island
The real question here is how are they going to match up the size of King Kong with Godzilla when they finally have their movie showdown. And hopefully it won't be so depressing as BvsS.

Bonus:
https://www.yahoo.com/movies/11-actresses-almost-played-wonder-200555287/photo-sandra-bullock-1459459605368.html
Yikes! Non of these were ideal for the role. And what's up with Megan Fox, jeez so overrated with Transformers to begin with. That Gadot actress worked out just fine after all, didn't she.

Not So Super Box Office

Blog Talk Radio now playing. Batman VS. Superman Boxoffice Review Part 2, coming soon.
Note: Due to falling for a prank I updated this blog to refleck that. Who knows, maybe some of us wanted to see Sack Zack happen. Either way we know Justice League will be dark like the others.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/673311-speedy-gonzales-movie-on-the-fast-track-at-warner-bros
Warner's put Speedy on the fast track? Really? Wonder why? Guess the studio has to answer to the stockholders and have to answer for the disappointing boxoffice of twobigicons. Wow, this is so sad. Speedy? Well then I want my frigging Road Runner with Cayote getting his due! Beep Beep!

http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/box-office-batman-v-superman-1201744334/
And Warner's said they are not worried. There'll will be when the home release will be less than stellar in sales.  But who gets last laugh out of all this? Affleck. This biggest outcry on the internet when his name was announced, looks like his dream of starring solo and directing Batman will finally come true.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/china-box-office-batman-v-880347
Drop off by 78%. Ouch. Well so much for the $1 Billion mark. China basically killed it as it did with Star Wars being No. 1 of all time internationally.  After Sack Zack was official this weekend it's all full speed ahead with J League. What's funny they even couldn't even wait till Monday morning to give him his walking papers. That is Fk up for sure. Yep fell for this prank. STudio can't be that cold can they? LOL. Either way it comes down such a big franchise for Warners and coming up short at the boxoffice unlike Star Wars (here I go again) where it crossed the $2 Billion mark.  All articles on this on previous blog.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/x-men-apoclaypse-featurette-highlights-the-four-horsemen
Hopefully the movie is just as exciting as this featurette. But I do love the way Singer is just recasting everyone (most) from the original cast aka Storm. etc. But will it be a burnout Boxoffice after Civil War and BvsS? That is the question.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/672881-20-more-photos-from-the-doctor-strange-set
Does this one deserve a solo movie? And again the question of hero burnout. Sure Deadpool did great but that left Antman  in the dust. Is this what is coming down the road?

http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/the-walking-dead-season-6-finale-negan-kills-spoilers-episode-16-1201744464/
The only thing this show killed was my patience. Over an hour to introduce Negan just to watch him bash someones head in who is not signed on to come back, Either that or one of the main actors who is going to act for a raise, lol.

Bonus:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/superman-inside-story-director-richard-879894
Great interview with Director Donner on Superman 1 & 2 with Christopher Reeve and Marlon Brando.

BvsS Leads The Weekend Again

New Radio Show Now Playing!. The Big Batman VS Superman Review Part 1.

New Update:
http://www.latino-review.com/news/breaking-zack-snyder-has-exited-justice-league
Holy Fired: Sack Zack actually happened! He's out and George "Mad Max" Miller is the new Director! $15M intake on Friday was the final nail in the coffee. Which mean less than $50M for a second week. And yes China helped that nail too. But with Miller in, shit just got real. Somebody WAS thinking by having him as producer on board  just in case. But man that was so fast.
Well I did say somebody was going to lose their job, who would think it be him?

Saturday Update:
http://variety.com/2016/film/asia/batman-v-superman-china-box-office-1201744114/
Holy Crap, Batman. Down to No. 4 already in it's second week in China? And you thought I was over the top with the article below in Friday's update. This basically kills it's over the $1Billion mark at the international boxoffice. Now it depends on the repeats but as far as legs even that doesn't look good at this point. See next article below. Ouch.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/batman-v-superman-box-office-drops-gods-not-dead-2-1201743942/
Sure it will lead this weekend because of no competition but...Dropping 65% on the second weekend is alsonot good news. Hey don't mad at me. Blame the professionals in this business who think they know everything and somehow like Star Trek Wrath of Khan: "..But you keep missing your mark!" Last update till Monday when the smoke clears and the body count starts piling up (somebody will get fired, lol)

Friday Update:
http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/box-office-batman-v-superman-530-million-1201743321/
The key word here is Juggernaut in the second paragraph. It even hasn't cleared a $100M in China yet which F7 did in the same amount of time. Like China remembering how bad Phantom Menace trilogy was which might have effected TFA, they probably remembered Man of Steel. They are not too forgiving it seems and easily hold a grudge, lol. How else do you explain "Mermaid" being the biggest money maker in China. While the environmental message was great and the villain found redemption, two cool plot points, the film wasn't all that. Not with 3 superheros fighting a bigger than life creature to the death.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4172
Now this is scary, even the expects are throwing caution to the wind. Well I did mention the repeats will keep this going the movie should have legs but when B.O. Mojo says lets see what happens, I'm glad my future career is not at Warners.

Previously:
http://www.latino-review.com/news/batman-v-superman-hits-200-million-in-domestic-box-office-haul
While crossing over that mark, it looks like it's not going to break any new records. This weekend will tell all once the numbers come in on Monday. And the big letdown is that it already opened in China and doesn't have that to look forward to and those sales are meh as it is. Just like Star Wars.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/new-adventures-superman-star-dean-879395
Dozing off are we? Well the way I felt with the first hour after seeing it a second time. Still get a kick out of the second half tho. Got invited a second time so why not? And I'm still getting the Blu-ray wich ever rated edition is. Here's hoping for a commentary.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/want-to-give-zack-snyder-the-boot-from-justice-league-and-the-dceu
This has been going on for a week now. But to late considering that Zack is ready to do JL back to back. But one thing I like to see are the solo Batman being directed by Affleck himself. He did pull it off with Argo, and Oscar winner and he himself is a two time Oscar winner. So why not? Can it be any worse. And maybe we can get a great chase scene in the daytime. Those nighttime scenes are a killer on the eyes.

What, it doesn't pay off that good anymore. Never kill your bread and butter. Of course he wants to be taken serious and do some heavy drama and the like. Well it work for Danny Elfman so why not?

http://variety.com/2016/tv/columns/star-wars-rebels-season-finale-review-darth-vader-darth-maul-spoilers-1201741978/
Massive spoilers involved. But already there's talk of the series coming to an end. With all the movies coming out that might be a problem with some other franchises. Btu ti works for both MCU and DC and with all those Iconic characters like Darth Vadar showing up on the show this can go on for much longer than they have planned.

BvsS: More Let Downs at the Box Office

Radio show coming tomorrow: Final review on BvS and all DC talk.
Today's blog is an update from yesterday which was posted very late.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/42184/-batman-v-superman-aims-for-925m-haul
What? Not clearing the $1B mark? That over 50% drop coming this weekend is not helping matters.
And if you read the links below, not opening at No.1 in China and Japan is putting a nail in the coffin.
So all that bragging for breaking records for Easter is not adding up to much. Don't forget, these are two giant icons and it should be clearing way over those predictions.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/671615-batman-v-superman-worldwide-box-office-passes-500-million#/slide/1
Bragging rights already? Not with the news above. Read the second paragraph:
 "We are so proud......." translation: I still might get to keep my parking space, said the suit.
They have to explain to the stock holders why this has not made even more money especially on what it cost to make. Again: Deadpool. Sorry for bringing it up, lol.

A big disappointment. And this is the way Star Wars started and it was all downhill from there. While the U.S. box office looks great, this needs the foreign box office to make help reach that $1B and this is not helping matters. And Japan is not helping either, see below.

http://variety.com/2016/film/asia/japan-bo-batman-v-superman-beaten-by-assassination-classroom-sequel-1201740716/
Opening at No. 3 is an embarrassment. It took 3 weeks before Star Wars could take over the No.1 spot. Could DC make it to No. 1. Even then, when Japan China and India failed at the box office with The Force Awakens, it couldn't top Titanic for the No. 2 spot.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/42155/new-deadpool-batman-box-office-talk
While Deadpool broke The Matrix record for biggest Rated R grosser of all time, BvsS broke another record. Biggest drop in one  weekend. Not good at all as this could be a reflection on next weekends boxoffice take. Somebody is sweating at Warner's.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/supergirl-flash-crossover-twist-ending-878585
Finally happened and have to admit this was a cool episode even tho was screaming more budget!
All these shows need more crossovers to keep up the pace. Villain of the week can get pretty boring after a while.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/20th-century-fox-is-turning-april-26-into-alien-day-275
How sad to make up a day so they can make it an obvious cash grab on a franchise. I mean look at this list. Really, look at this list. New action figures, Ripley sneakers, Pinball game. I mean c'mon. I can't afford all this. Star Wars left me bankrupt! Looks like I'm going to need a second summer job for this collection. How did they know? lol.

Batman Vs Superman Box Office Weekend

That Radio show is coming this week as Promised! Everything related to the movie and DC.  Still gets a 3 out of 5, not a perfect film but love that third act.

http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/batman-v-superman-box-office-3-1201740145/
Only $166M instead of $170M and now No. 7 down from 4. While this is still damn impressive in my book, lets be realistic here. These are 2 icons should have done better in the USA. A first time event and it does fall short. And throw Wonder Woman in there, who was no cameo and kick some major ass, and this should have been at least in the top 5 of all time. But at least it did huge World Wide at over $400M. Justice League here we go.

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/watch-lex-luthor-in-deleted-scene-from-batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-20160328
Short 45 second scene. Would this scene have mattered? They could have deleted a lot more scenes than this. But the question remains. How many more scenes were cut? Especially that first half hour. Way to many jump cuts. (editing term which would not come up if I didn't notice them). Well the next article goes into details about all this.

http://www.comingsoon.net/dvd/news/670699-batman-v-superman-ultimate-cut-release-date-and-details#/slide/1
July 16 release date. Just before Suicide Squad. Makes sense. This explains a lot on what happened in the editing room as a lot of these scenes did not make sense. Especially that beginning. See the film a second time and all this sticks out big time.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/zack-snyder-discusses-the-ending-of-batman-v-superman-spoilers
While this was from the original DC comics it really wasn't necessary. The crowd I saw this with were very quiet when walking out. They were not happy. Same crowd that cheered at Star Wars at the end. Not much of a spoiler here but Zacks answer is kind of lame.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/670813-batman-v-superman-character-aquaman#/slide/1
100 Pics included. Best thing about this article. Spoiler! While I notice Pa Kent, Kevin Costner cameo and Chris Pine photo cameo, twice by the way, I did not notice this guy.

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/how-superhero-movies-became-too-big-to-fail-20160328
Quick video included. More of a Review of the movie with an angle with mention of Deadpool.

Batman Vs Superman Reviews Are In

New Radio show this coming week: B vs S review, Pee Wee and more. New Radio promo now playing on Youtube, also posted below links. Note: Today's blog will expand thru the weekend.

Sunday:
http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/batman-v-superman-box-office-2-1201739996/
Great opening weekend for DC at $425M internationally. But while it brags as being the biggest superhero debut it still ranks behind Potter, Jurassic World and Star Wars for the No. 4. Dinosaurs, really? Behind by a $100M? Now there's something wrong with that picture. See below link:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/worldwideopenings.htm
No. 4 Biggest opening. But behind dinosaurs. Now that is funny, even tho it's not suppose to be. But regardless it killed the critics for saying this was going to be a bust. So wrong they are again.

Saturday Update:
So who are going to believe? While the first article states at $160-170M the second has it at $180M.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-batman-v-superman-877979
This also has the international box office and so far so good.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/batman-v-superman-box-office-180-million-1201739586/
These guys are really crossing their fingers with this figure. While these figures should be bigger compare to Star Wars, DUH! this is far from a wipe out opening the franchise for Justice League.

Friday Morning Update:
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4170
Their prediction for this weekend. While they give a number they're still not sure what the outcome is going to be. We'll find out sure enough, lol.
g
http://www.businessinsider.com/dc-superhero-movie-schedule-2016-1
Well looks more like they are trying to catch up with MCU. Even if the box office is not kind to Batman and Superman they have to go thru with this just to save face.

Previously:
http://www.businessinsider.com/batman-v-superman-bad-reviews-box-office-2016-3
As I said on the show, the movie should have a big weekend but after that will it have legs and all that depends if the audience lets the bad reviews get to them and will the hard core give it repeats. This article expands on that notion. Really it's a no brainer. You want to see it or you don't.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/42065/first-batman-v-superman-reviews-are-in
If you go to Rotten Tomatoes the split is almost in the middle but more reviews are still coming in.
Fans are loving it and the critics are doing the usual and being misery. What else is new?

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/669043-25-photos-from-the-batman-v-superman-london-premiere
Great job if you can get it. Traveling to all these places, paid for of course, to premiere your movie knowing damn well the critics are tearing it apart. Got to admit, Wonder Woman does look hot in Red.

http://variety.com/2016/digital/news/star-wars-force-awakens-pirated-blu-ray-quality-1201737273/
Lwets face it, those who want the film are going to buy it. And those who pirated couldn't care less, it's cool to download to show off to friends and buy it anyways for the bonus features or they wouldn't buy it in the first place. But the comments on different sites say the same thing. Screw Disney. Now thats funny.

http://www.comingsoon.net/dvd/news/669187-force-awakens-deleted-scenes#/slide/1
Breakdown of the scenes that most of us know already. This and the making of is the reason fans will buy this and never mind the pirate sites. I have a bootleg DVD copy myself (sue me disney bitch!) and seen the movie twice. And yes there was the out of focus pirate copy on the internet. Bottom line, fans will buy the Master BR copy and there are those who wish Disney would burn in hell. What can I tell you.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/42071/chris-pratt-offers-guardians-sequel-set-tour
Cool 3 minute video included. All for charity which is a nice touch. And while all this noise with DC and Star Wars here come Guardians with a change of pace. Nicely welcomed.

Below our new Promo on Youtube:

Mark and I go a preview on Batman vs Superman. Beware of loud 2 second intro, lol, as this is also a test run. Thanks for listening. Short 10 minute promo.

Batman Vs Superman Box Office Preview

New Radio Show coming soon. B vs S prediction wrap up and the return of Pee Wee Herman on Gotham. Also review of China's The Mermaid, the biggest money maker in that country so far and even Batman is mentioned at the beginning at the movie. A good sign for the Duo perhaps? Article link below. Note: New Radio promo playing on our channel at Youtube.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-preview-can-batman-876957
Just $150M opening?  And of course it's gets compared to The Avengers along with Jurassic World as far as opening weekends. And yes Deadpool is also mentioned again. This could be an embarrasement if it doesn't clean up big time as the previous films but a backlash could happen like with Star Wars in China where it failed to get big numbers. And the studio can't predict was is going to happen World Wide which makes it even more interesting. Can't wait for the numbers next Monday.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/668875-batman-v-superman-behind-the-scenes-photos-imax-featurette-debut
Video on the Imax angle and over 100 photos in the gallery. Nice collection and a fun build up to the film.

http://variety.com/2016/film/asia/celestial-tiger-the-mermaid-1201735970/
The little film that could and then some. Before it was Monster Hunt about a cute little cabbage baby and now a Mermaid. Disney is scratching their head on that one. And F7 is the biggest american release in which the studios can't figure out. And this is what the studios are looking at and trying to figure out on howto cash in on China's box office. Not all of them can be winners that's for sure.
But yes, mention of Batman and a wax figure of him is shown at the beginning of the movie. That and chicken wings for ears. Chinese humor that is. Full review on the radio show. 3 out of 5.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/668819-harrison-ford-talks-indiana-jones-5-offers-young-han-solo-candidates-advice
Still having the last laugh on all this it seems. 2 clips from the show on Star Wars and Indy Jones.
AT his age he still has a great sense of humor especially about those deleted scenes.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/say-what-another-terminator-movie-on-the-way
The one film no one asking about. Especially with Justice League, Star Wars, MCU and other major franchises, this is so dead in the water. Us die hards are just waiting for Cameron to take over and see what happens from there. Arnold should just concentrate on Conan and see how that tanks does.

Batman VS. Superman Reviews Already?

New Radio show this week: Wrap up on B VS S predictions and other news.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/batman-v-superman-premiere-ushers-in-overwhelmingly-positive-early-reactions
Either this can be taken with a grain of salt with fans in denial, studio plants to go against the upcoming negative reviews of the critics or movie goers actually liked this. I'm a fan of Zack regardless of his missteps aka Man of Steel ( I do owned the BR believe or not), older Batman played by Affeck (he won me a $20 Oscar bet for Argo) and who hasn't been waiting for this to happen.
either way this will be huge opening weekend and hopefully it will have legs at the box office.

http://variety.com/gallery/batman-v-superman-u-s-premiere-photos/
Nice collection of photos but how come we weren't invited? Here hoping for a winner.

http://variety.com/2016/tv/reviews/china-box-office-zootopia-revenant-1201734975/
You know who's ready this? Yep Warners and hoping B VS S can make some of chump change. Even Disney is amazed on Zootopia making this kind of money considering there wasn't that much of a marketing push like Star Wars. And I still never heard of the Mermaid which has made over $500M in China alone! And that's why Warners is nervous. Very nervous.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/miles-teller-auditions-for-han-solo/talks-about-problematic-fantastic-four-film
Total fail. Never saw Star Wars and your auditioning? I backed this guy up since Whiplash, forgave him for F4 and he pulls this shit? Then he wonders why he won't get it. It wouldn't be funny ifhe does get it anyways. OK not funny. Strike that.

More Batman VS Superman Predictions

New Radio show now playing. S vs B predictions and RIP nods, working on "The Family."

Friday Update:

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/667897-60-photos-from-the-batman-v-superman-junket#/slide/1

Great pics from the promo junket. Love the Batmobile pics, nicely detailed.They are not fooling around with the marketing and advertising with this franchise, that's for sure. 

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/features/667865-the-star-wars-news-roundup-for-march-18-2016

Nice wrap up all from twitter. Some of which I didn't hear of. Boyer visiting the hospital for the kids is a nice touch so see. Good for him and the little ones.

Update:

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/667379-russo-brothers-talk-spider-man-reveal-infinity-war-and-civil-war-post-credit-scenes#/slide/1

3 post credits scenes? With hype like this how can DC compete? Too soon to say but who is going to win the superhero status at the box office this spring?

Previously:

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/wb-batman-v-superman-faces-high-expectations-1201729887/

So $400M spent and $800M needed to break even. Guess I wasn't to far off on my radio show. They are very nervous about this. But further down the article it states it needs to go over $1B to make to please the studio. Yikes. Of course Deadpool didn't help much did it? LOL.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/indiana-jones-5-how-new-876222

A bit harsh on the franchise but I have to agree that Ford is too old for this and like James Bond franchise which this is based on, just hire another actor. That and forget about those damn aliens.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/cool-videos-the-movie-magic-of-deadpools-visual-effects-221

Great behind the scenes video. Hopefully more like these will be on the BR release. But my wish is a commentary by Reynolds how he stuck to his guns on getting this made.            

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/666965-even-more-star-wars-episode-viii-set-photos-at-sea

Now we are getting these pics on a daily basis but don't really reveal much. But good promotion for the BR release coming out in a few weeks.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/wb-batman-v-superman-faces-high-expectations-1201729887/

Burt Reynolds had the second biggest picture of the year after Star Wars in 1977. After that he started doing knockoffs. This was one of the better ones. Why it took so long after films like F7 is strange, but look at the comments as no one is asking for this. While the original was funny at the time, now its quite dated.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/check-out-the-glory-of-an-empire-in-this-ben-hur-domestic-international-trailer

Another remake no one is asking for. Again with the massive CGI overload and "300" cash in which has been played out years ago. The original with Charlton Heston was the real deal no CG and real stuntmen doing all the action. So why remake this? Well they are dumping near the end of August so that tells that story. a daily basis

Below: 

That's me on the left hand side right under "12 minutes left" working as a background actor.

This was filmed  on 9/11 of last year. Holding a candle felt very strange that night as I knew someone who died at that tragedy.

Countdown For Batman Vs Superman

New Radio Show now playing: B VS S predictions, RIP Martin, Emerson, Ken Adams.

Tuesday Update:
http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/steven-spielberg-harrison-ford-are-bringing-indy-5-to-audiences-in-2019-140
No surpirse there, with Star Wars out of the way now h can concentrate on this franchise. Now the question is will it be better than the "Crystal Skull". well that film was so bad anything can be better than that, lol.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/fight-night-begins-in-the-final-international-trailer-for-batman-v-superman-119
A much better trailer as it hints at everything in the movie without giving big parts away, even tho they kind of ruin that already with the big fight to begin with. At least they left Doomsday out of it this time. Well this is the week we've been waiting for. Lets cross our fingers and have fun. We hope.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-zootopia-roars-record-874827
Nobody saw this coming. Wow, this is huge for an overrated movie. Yep I said it. While it's a cute who dunnit, it's really not all that. 3 out of 5. It reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood in "Hoodwink" very original in concept which I thought was more clever. While the sequel did match the first one, the original is still worth a watch. And yes I got the message and all that but after a while even that get tired quick. But I did love the Godfather sequence, now that was funny.

http://www.hitfix.com/the-dartboard/robert-downey-jr-doubts-there-will-be-an-iron-man-4
Remember, money talks. One big fast paycheck and he'll do another one before the Big Infinity Wars pics. Squeeze one more  in there, call it a day then get a new actor for a rebooted Iron Man and here we go again. They did it we Spiderman so why not. And if there's a Nol 4 it has to be better than No. 2 and 3. Man they sucked. Manderin was an actor? WTF insult.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/ilm-shares-artwork-from-their-star-wars-the-force-awakens-portfolio-305
Nice art work all around. But I'm glad they decided not to have Han Solo with the beard. He's got grumpy look as it is. And let's not forget the promo clip for the Blu-ray release. So how many millions of copies is that going to sale. But there will be a problem with that. Everyone else coming out on BR is going to fall short in sales in comparison. Hell, Amazon is still backlogged with AMS3 in sales. They can't give that away.

http://www.thewrap.com/steven-spielberg-peter-jackson-sean-parker-screening-room-controversy/
The reason for Speilberg wanting this is his last couple of movies were threaten to be released on cable. The major one being "Lincoln". That was Sooooo close to being on Netflix. So what is wrong with this? Look at the Oscar nods, most of the those pictures did not clear the $100M mark. People could just wait for it on Redbox then cable. Only the big tentpole aka Star Wars might be cool to see at home but those are made for the big screen and that's the way fans want to see them. If a big tentpole movie sucks in that first weeekend nothing is going to save it and again, people will wait for home release. Good try but good luck.

Spiderman's Back

New Radio show coming this weekend; Captain America, George Martin (Live and Let Die), Ken Adams (Bond, bonus link below), Zootopia. Nighthawks with Stallone, sdtk by Keith Emerson RIP bonus link below.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/661619-the-new-captain-america-civil-war-trailer-is-here#/slide/1
Trailer and slides included. There might be a slight spoiler in the trailer as the rumors of someone dying could be revealed here hence what starts the civil war to begin with other reasons. But the big thrill is the appearance of Spiderman. Talk about chills. Something the fans have been looking forward to for a long time. As I predicted on my show any years ago. Money talks no matter the business. It's going to be interesting which one will be the big Superhero winner of the year at the box office is going to be. DC or the MCU. Bets on Marvel of course.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/41832/-star-wars-ten-film-rumor-rogue-droid-talk
Looks like they took the MCU lesson to heart and not screw up like DC with their franchise. Being very careful to make sure the whole Star Wars universe works together

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/star-wars-the-force-awakens-star-daisy-ridley-eyed-for-tomb-raider-reboot-20160310
Sure a big name that she is now is good for the reboot but lets not forget the flack that Wonder Woman (whats her name?) got for being to skinny. Just look at the comments all across the internet about how wrong she is in filling out the costume. They must rely on her true acting talents. Did anyone see the trailer? Yikes! Bring the doubles DD's. Wrong? Even the ladies are complaining, lol.

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Smith-Next-Movie-Might-Going-Netflix-Get-Details-117637.html
You can translate this two ways. Its a coup aka Beasts of No Nation that a second life on Netlflix with a bunch awards along the way or that Adam Sandler western disaster and Warners had no fate in the movie to begin with. I'll let you decide. Me? Hee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaw!

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/studios-exhibitors-consider-revolutionary-plan-for-day-and-date-movies-at-home-exclusive-1201725168/
Are they crazy at those prices? Look at the movies coming out this summer, besides a chosen few, very few, most don't warrant this at all. They don't get it. Not everything is Star Wars gold.

The genius who designed the famous Volcano in "You Only Live Twice" one of my favorite set designs of all time. Old school when they built the sets for real before Green CGI like nowadays.

"Nighthawks" in 10 Minutes. Excellent Cop thriller with Stallone, Rutger Haur, Blade Runner, Billy Dee Williams, ESB highlighting the soundtrack by Keith Emerson from ELP Prog Rock Band from the 1970's. RIP Keith, my personal favorite from the band was Fanfare for a Common Man. YT it.

Chewbacca and Solo Again

New radio show coming soon: More Oscar posts, Spectre song, Box office S VS B.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/664121-chewbacca-han-solo-movie#/slide/1
Can't be a a Han Solo movie without a Chewbacca would it? It wouldn't be that much fun without him. As who is going to play Solo, I'll but my chip on Teller. He proves he can hold his own in Whiplash and is good in a sci-fi movie aka F4. Sure that script sucked along with everything else, but they have Kasdan, writer of Empire, writing this one. And he did a good job with TFA besides that 2 minute ripoff with Luke at the end.

http://www.latino-review.com/news/new-behind-the-scenes-batman-v-superman-photos-revealed
Fun photos for behind the scenes. But man this studio is nervous as hell about the film. You can thank Deadpool for that, lol. A conversation to long for this blog. Radio show will cover more on that.

Read the comments and that pretty much sums up what people think of this. We live in a 4D world to begin with. Being a New Yorker, I go into the theatre to smell the popcorn and enjoy the A/C in the summer to Get Away from the funk, stink, humidity, rain, smoke, smog and everything else my city that never sleeps offers me. Now I gotta pay for the shit? And I don't give a crap who the superhero is.

It's movies like these is why Disney wanted Star Wars TFA to make over that $2 Billion. Luckily Zootopia it's getting doing greatto everyone's surprise. Review coming on the next radio show.

Bonus:
http://variety.com/2016/music/news/george-martin-dies-dead-beatles-producer-1201726004/
He was the Fifth Beatle to us hardcore fans of the Beatles. Of course besides he's legendary status as producer for the band, his one major accomplishment is being the producer of the Best James Bond, "Live and Let Die" Written by Sir Paul and wife Linda McCartney. While the new generation might argue with that saying Skyfall is the best one (No Way) the combo of Martin and McCartney doing a Bond song is what Legends are made off. Don't like it,? Well bug off you bloody wankers as the british would say, lol.
PS compare Writing on the Wall to Live and Let Die, so what do you think? A no brainer of course.

Zootopia's Crazy Box Office

New radio show coming this week and today's blog updated for tomorrow.

Update:
http://www.thewrap.com/spider-man-spinoff-venom-gets-new-life-at-sony-with-edge-of-tomorrow-writer/
It Figures. All thanks to Deadpool even tho it's mentioned, but obvious, this gets it's own sequel. It took this long to get it on board cause, lets face it, they didn't know what to do with the property to begin with. Maybe now that they may be more focus on it they can turn this into another franchise.
Besides the hardcore fans, is anyone asking for this. Only Deadpool fans have that answer, lol.

http://www.thewrap.com/star-wars-r2-d2-creator-tony-tyson-dies-at-68/
What a shame. This would have been a nice tribute to him on the TFA home release. Maybe on the next release he will get his due. But at least he gets his mention as many do not now how many creative people behind the scenes were involved in getting Lucas film to become reality.

http://deadline.com/2016/03/zootopia-biggest-debut-ever-china-russia-disney-animation-llondon-has-fallen-international-box-office-1201715311/
For a non holiday weekend this was a surprise and even a bigger surprise overseas as this was getting that much of a push from the marketing and advertising department. Unlike Frozen when that film was pushed down our throats. And China is another story all together. Never even heard of Mermaid and Disney is going "Didn't we have a movie with Mermaid in the title?" But it didn't earn that kind of money, that''s for sure.

Why not? He's no stranger to the superhero universe after his stint on Spiderman in the MCU. Now he's batting for DC. And let's not forget he's stop over on Skull Island in the King Kong universe. After so many years in this business he's earn it big time. And always a great character to see. But Hiddleston?......

Hiddleston as Bond is a stretch. Tom Hardy is mentioned and he would be a better Bond. Another actor that earn his stripes with an Oscar nod to boot and being in a 6 Oscar win picture with Mad Max. And Alba? Still sticking with 009 the spinoff. As far as Craig he should do one more with Waltz as Blofeld just to make up for Spectre. Or just say screw it and reboot everything all over again like they did with Spidey.

Another why not? Since Terminator is kaput until Cameron reboots the damn thing and we're still waiting for the Conan Barbarian movie, this would be a good move. Hopefully it won't be a cameo but maybe a consultant traveling with a new team on a expedition to find the Predator. I can see him say the link when the team asks him about it: "Yes it's true, it's all true from long ago" um, that sounds familiar.

While all the right people are coming on board for the series, adding the family name won't make a different is there's no support from the fans. They are just too pissed off by the obvious that the scam that CBS is doing. Sure there's bit torrent like Game of Thrones, but one miss step like Enterprise and they can kiss this goodbye.

Star Wars:TFA Home Release Date

Post Oscar show now playing on Blog Talk Radio, new show coming next week.

http://www.comingsoon.net/dvd/news/662819-star-wars-the-force-awakens-blu-ray-and-digital-release-dates-announced#/slide/1
Now that it's official TFA is the third biggest movie of all time with No. 2 highly unlikely, we have the release date with no less than 5 different packages to collect. Talk about milking a cash cow. While it has great features like the Full documentary and deleted scenes, having extra content only on the Target release is a real blow to the fans. Maybe an ultimate release down the line will have all the content in one package. I mean I really can't see the hard core fans going out of their way *cough cough* to collecting all of them.  As for me the first packaging is fine for me *cough cough cough*
Either way this will be a great  to add to the collection.

AS this article states, it will open as the fifth biggest superhero of all time at the boxoffice. Are you kidding me? This should be the biggest opening and it should be at least in the all time top 5 boxoffice crossing that $1Billion mark. Lets face it. These are the 2 biggest icons of all time including the Justice League setup with Wonder Woman. Anything less would be considered a disappointment. It might be too much to ask for but look at the others films especially Spiderman 3 and Iron Man 3. Even the die hards say those are overrated compare to what they made at the boxoffice.

Wow this does look bador what. I like the idea of an all female team and these ladies are funny but man, this looks just plain awful. What looks better is the trailer that follow with Edris Alba in Bastille Day. While it looks like a Liam Neelson role, this could be a preview for James Bond  film. It's got that European look to it.

The big mistake was doing romantic comedies and serious small films. He should have one action after action movie. Same thing happened with  Liam Neelson  with comedies and dramas and turned down James Bond until he got talked into Taken. And now that's all he does. But even Gods turned out to be a bomb overseas. Now that takes some doing.
