Bait and Switch: The Crow Remake

I think we are in for another pushing the main character aside for the strong, independent and diverse girl boss.

James Gunn Has Killed Superman Legacy

It didn’t take long, but James Gunn has successfully killed Superman Legacy and his version of the DC Universe. I’d like to read something I came across online, and I imagine we will get more clarity on this as we get closer.

PROMISE INCLUSION: James Gunn confirms that the Velma he wrote for Scooby Doo was LGBT and vows that his DCU will be full of non-heterosexual or non-conforming gender protagonists and not in supporting roles as it has been done so far. He says the world should be ready for a Superman G or a Batman T and promises that in #SupermanLegacy there will be not one but TWO community characters.

James, I hope you enjoy the unemployment line and DC I look forward to who’s going to buy the company from you. Black Adam flopped. Blue Beetle flopped, Shazam 2 flopped, The Flash flopped, Aquaman 2 is going to flop. Joker 2 looks dumb. Gotham Knights is canceled. Superman and Lois is in its final season. DC comics are in the toilet. The Batman is the only thing to look forward to from this company.  

At first, I thought that James Gunn simply doesn’t get it, but obviously, DC is signing off on his choices, so they don’t get it either. There isn’t any product thriving from its diversity and sexual inclusion. Hollywood is flopping simply because of woke, which I define as including diversity to push a product and then using that diversity as a shield to ward off criticism.

I remember Rachel Zegler spilling the beans on the Snow White movie. If she hadn’t said anything, the movie would’ve flopped, and that’s it. Now that she’s constantly talking about it, the movie is delayed another year, hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent in reshoots, and it’ll lose even more money when it comes out.

If James Gunn had been silent about this movie and his future plans, Superman Legacy would’ve come out, flopped, of course, and faded off into nonexistence. But now, more stories about this will come out and keep coming out until the 2025 release date, which will hurt the movie’s profits even more. And at the end of the day, you have nobody to blame but yourselves.

What do you guys think about thinking about this? Do you think James Gunn just killed his movie? Do you think the movie will even make it to theaters?

Djimon Hounsou’s Hollywood Discontent

I read a recent article about Djimon Hounsou and how he’s unhappy with his current status in Hollywood explaining that its hard for him to earn any money now. I have been a big fan of Hounsou’s work for a long time and was a little curious of why he wasn’t getting bigger roles, so I decided to do a quick dive into his movies and see what’s the problem. After a 30 second search I instantly found the issue with his career. Hounsou has an agent that seems to only cast him in side roles.

He started acting in 1998 and the first role I remember him in was Gladiator in 2000 where he played Juba, a side character.

Biker Boyz, a movie that I’ve seen dozens of times, yet I can’t remember him in it.

Tomb Raider which I don’t remember him in.

Constantine, which I again don’t remember him in.

The Island was great and I actually remember his character, but it wasn’t one of the main characters.

Blood Diamond is where it gets interesting. One of my favorite movies and I’m surprised Hounsou didn’t walk away with an Oscar that year, but that is the kind of movie that starts the rise in stardom for most actors. BUT he followed the role with Eragon which he wasn’t the star and the movie wasn’t good.

Never Back Down he wasn’t the main star.

Push he wasn’t the main star.

He was T’Challa in Black Panther…the cartoon show. How to Train Your Dragon 2 he was the villain who didn’t get a lot of screentime. Gurdian of the Galaxy he was random robot man.

 Seventh Son was bad and he wasn’t the star.

Furious 7 he wasn’t in the main group.

Legend of Tarzan he wasn’t the star.

King Arthur he wasn’t the star.

He reprised his role in Dragons: Race to Edge for one episode.

Aquaman he was a voice over.

Reprised his role of Robot Man in Captain Marvel

Shazam his character was Wizard.

Charlies Angles he was Bosley.

Quiet Place 2 he was Man on Island…..not even a name.

NBA 2K21 he was Coach Bishop

Invincible he was Martain Emperor, not even a name

Reprised his role again in What If as Robot Man

 The King’s Man he wasn’t the lead

Paw of Fury: The Legend of Hank I didn’t see, but since his role was Sumo, I imagine he wasn’t the lead

And lastly Black Adam and Shazam 2 he came back as Wizard for both.

One hand, he has been in a lot of big budget and highly successful movies. On the other he is always the bridesmaid and never the bride. So what is causing this? Is it a bad agent? Is it a lack of roles? Is this just a cry for attention?

If I was in his position and I felt like I’m not getting the roles that I earned, I would make my own movies or try to be casted in some emotional movie kind of like The Whale. Maybe step into the writing, directing and producing chair and make the movie you always felt you earned. He does have an interesting story. Grew up in Africa, moved the France, became a model and then went into acting. That would be a pretty interesting movie.

So instead of complaining about your place in Hollywood, maybe take a look at how far you’ve come over the years and use that motivation to propel your career to new heights.

Snow Blanco and the 6 Excuses

Marvel Strike Force: Spider-Man (Miles)

I need some help from the great Mike Singeltary for this one

“Can not play with him. Can not win with him. Can not coach him. Can’t do it”

I have exhausted all my options with Miles Morales. I have upgraded him; I have surrounded him with a great group and every time he disappoints me. Clearly, I am doing something wrong with him and I don’t know what.

Miles checks off most of my boxes. He gains Stealth, has an unlockable attack all enemies move, great team ups, there is nothing wrong with his game, its just he doesn’t fit in the teams that I assemble. For that reason, I wouldn’t recommend him, but maybe you might have some ideas of what I’m doing wrong.

Violent Night: On The Verge Of Something Great

I remember a time when movies were fun without being overly stupid. Where even movies with serious plots found time for comedy and silly movies had serious moments. Violent Night is action packed, but not overbearing, funny without being cringy, but most importantly fun

The plot is very simple. A group of highly trained mercenaries attempt to rob a rich family during their Christmas party. Santa, who is depressed about how the true meaning of Christmas is dying, is in the middle of delivering presents when the robbery happens. From the trailer, this looked like John Wick in a Santa Clause outfit and for most of the movie it’s the opposite, but when Santa finds the Christmas spirit again and taps into his Viking Heritage, he goes on a killing spree, brutally killing all the mercenaries with a sledgehammer and with Christmas Magic.

Was this an Oscar winning movie? No. Was it one of the most entertaining movies of the year, that didn’t try to shove a political message down my throat? Absolutely yes. David Harbour, who played Santa Clause, wants to see this made into a series where Santa goes against other mythical creatures like the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.

So if you’re looking for a movie that makes you laugh, fills your blood lust and makes you feel something, then check out Violent Night.

Johnny Depp DC Bound?

With Johnny Depp cutting ties with Disney forever, I highly doubt we’ll see him in a Marvel movie. DC should take advantage of this by immediately firing Amber Heard (yes, I made the case to keep her in a previous video, but that was before the trial) and cast Depp in a role. My first choice for Depp would be Green Arrow, mainly because of his facial hair, but I think the perfect role would be Jason Blood.

Blood, and his counterpart Etrigan, aren’t the first character’s fans name when ranking their favorite superheroes, but Blood and Etrigan are a very interesting duo. I think DC, and Marvel alike, shouldn’t be focused on the bread-and-butter characters, but trying to make others in their universe work on the big screen.

Maybe a great time to introduce Blood into the DCEU would be during the rumored Zatanna movie. DC is starting to explore the supernatural with Doctor Fate and Constantine, so having Blood have some kind of a cameo in the movie makes sense. I would be ok with total tease of Etrigan, where we see the aftermath of a fight, a bunch of guards are torn to pieces and we see a slight glimmer of Etrigan as he is engulfed into flames and Blood emerges.

What do you think about Johnny Depp joining DC and who would you like to see him play?

Better Call Saul: Not Enough Time Left

Better Call Saul might be one of the best shows of the decade. Sadly, the show is in its advertised final season, and I think they are rushing things. With 7 episodes left, there is a lot to get through. At this point, Jimmy hasn’t even gotten his “Cathedral of Justice,” and Jimmy didn’t meet Walter or Jesse yet.

I imagine the series will end with Kim dying tragically and Saul being put in some kind of witness protection or on the run somehow. At the start of some of the seasons, we see Jimmy working in a mall, trying to lay low. I remember a line from Breaking Bad where Mike alludes to something bad that happened to Jimmy, but we never got an answer.

So now we are in the middle of a war between Gus and Salamanca, which I imagine that’s how Kim would be killed. We never really got a time frame on how long Jimmy had his practice in Breaking Bad, but it must’ve been long enough to go through a few seasons of Breaking Bad.

With only a few episodes left we have to finish the war, Kim’s death, Jimmy’s law firm, the arrest of Jimmy, AND the time jump into the future with some kind of ending there. That’s a lot to show in such a small amount of time.

Better Call Saul is one of the best-written shows in a while, but the writers have a massive undertaking to finish this show as strong as how it started. What do you guys think of Better Call Saul, and how do you predict it’ll end?
