RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Anderson]

  Spoiler: MCU related spoilers 

Well, they finally cast She-Hulk. Now, when are they going to announce the Firestar casting and that Tim Blake Nelson is back?


Also, they've got to release BW before Falcon and Winter Soldier. The additional shoots made the Plus show more dependent on BW for a reason.


Florence Pugh (Yelena) is now in the Thunderbolts and has been shooting scenes for the last few days to be included in F and WS.

Borat 2 is screening four cuts across the country right now. If you get an e-vite from something like Gofobo for a surprise screening of The Usual Suspects or Backdraft, then you might be in the mix.


Jamie and I were comparing notes of what we're hearing so far. If I'm not mistaken, you said your guy got into a screening?

My boss lost his dad to it a couple of months ago.

My best friend's dad had a bunch of lingering medical problems, and likely caught the 'Rona as well before passing a couple months ago as well.

My sister-in-law is a managing nurse at one of the local hospitals and she has war stories and a morgue full of folks who died from COVID.

Everyone on base rocks a mask of some kind. Because ORDERS.

Tell me again, deniers, that this shit is made up so's I can punch you with my latex gloved mitts.

Bunch of officers went into some dude's house the other night for who the fuck knows what. All were exposed to Covid. No idea how many did/didn't get it. SMDH

Our sales rep at a fabricator we use is hospitalized with it right now.

[Abraham Smashington]

So both Black Adam and Batman have COVID.

Can we all just stop pretending like shit is getting better and is anywhere back to normal? This shit is getting old.

STAY THE FUCK HOME.

No idea if it's from the book. But the pug feels like a Lynch choice.

Dune is a goddamn mess. Any goodwill built up in the first half (and its not much) is ruined by the last half. So sloppy, so many fucking voice-overs,shoddy story telling. It has some decent production design but that about it. The only good thing it has going for it is that it made me read the book which is wayyyy better and this new one is gonna suck if we don't get the second one because it will just be half a fucking story.

All of this but I'll still watch it whenever it's on.

Plus it has a pug.

I’m so tired of the brutalist aesthetic approach to everything. I’ll take a Lynch Dune’s art direction over the contemporary visual homogeneity any day.

I have no skin in the game aside from wanting to read the book again.

Well that's just like your opinion, man.

[BillyG]

I should maybe read the book at some point.

First book is great, and a fast read for a scifi epic.

Wait, people don't at least LIKE Lynch's Dune? FUCKING WEIRD bros.

[gravedigger]

and that Toto score...effing love it.

It's the best part of the movie. I think the movie is not good but you can definitely see what Lynch wanted to do if he hadn't been fucked with. I'm excited for the new movie. I should maybe read the book at some point.

Patrick Stewart loved that role so much he spent the last 36 years repeating it.

He's been doing that role since playing Sejanus in I, Claudius, and he played that role like a boss. He's Shakespearean trained, so he lives for those kind of parts.

And leave us not forget his work in Lifeforce...
