RUMOR CONTROL...THESE ARE THE FACTS

[Anderson]

Here's another bit of wacky Marvel rumor news for the day:

  Spoiler: Weird spoiler 

Adam McKay is in the running to direct Inhumans with Vin Diesel as the only attached star so far.

[Abraham Smashington]

On their video-podcast, Schmoes Know (who I like) played coy with a "Terminator: Genisys sounds terrible and has a stupid twist that we won't spoil" spoiler. So I will.

  Spoiler: Spoilers, word! 

John Connor is the villain.

I watched that video you linked. That is the spoiler? Eh, doesnt' really bother me.

[Martin]

The Christoph Waltz as Blodeld rumor is VERY exciting news.

[Abraham Smashington]

Bond is so mehhhhhhhh. I WANT GADGETS AGAIN DAMMIT.

[Matt]

Blofeld? He's Blofeld? OK, that's some amazing casting.

[Anderson]

Blofeld? He's Blofeld? OK, that's some amazing casting.

Yeah, it's looking like it's a done deal. What'll be the kicker is if they get him for both films left on Craig's contract.

[Matt]

Do you think Craig is gonna bail after finishing these two films that are left? He's stiffing in anything that isn't Bond, so it might be to his financial benefit to stick with the money train for as long as he can.

[Anderson]

I think it's up to how old Craig feels and where they want to go around 2019/2020.

[Abraham Smashington]

Pre-Harold Ramis death GB3 script leaked?

It almost reads a bit like the game that came out. Wouldn't mind seeing this flick in some capacity.

  Spoiler: Hey! Hey! It's the F4 plot. 

Reed is a genius convenience store clerk with Ben. Reed's parents don't care about him, and Ben's dad is abusive. They're good friends and have each other's backs. Reed writes a paper for community college on teleportation that attracts the attention of Dr. Franklin Storm, CEO of the Baxter Building research center.

Storm has a son, Johnny, and an adoptive daughter, Sue, whose father, Storm's old partner, died in an experiment gone wrong. Johnny and Sue are party kids, and Sue is particularly disdainful of science. Reed and Sue don't get along at first.

Victor Doomashev is a anti-social Eastern European computer programmer and hacktivist who calls himself "Doom". He hates the 1%, particularly Storm, whom he claims corrupts science for profit.

Storm uses Reed's paper to complete some equations on a machine to access another dimension, the N-Zone. Reed invites Ben to watch the machine being turned on. Sue and Johnny are also there. Doom manages to hack into the Baxter Building's servers and use a computer virus to damage the machine, which explodes. Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben are exposed to otherwordly energy and become mutants with powers that they can't control.

Storm takes them to the Baxter Building and creates containment suits for their powers. They begin to train. Reed and Storm also begin developing a way to revert the accident. Sue blames Reed for everything, but they eventually become friends and then a couple. Ben can switch off his powers when he's not in danger. Johnny changes colors based on heat intensity, and Sue has some borderline telekinetic thing. Reed is pretty much Reed.

Doom finds out that the four have acquired powers and becomes angry it's not him, so he comes up with a plan to break into the Baxter Building to access the N-Zone through the rebuild machine. As a distraction, he reprograms a bunch of stolen military drones, the "Doombots", to attack the building. The four come together as a team for the first time and save people.

Doom activates the machine and gets technopathy powers or something, basically energy blasts and making machines obey to him, and a fight ensues. The machine goes critical, and, in order to prevent it from exploding and destroying the city, the four push into it and Storm shuts it off.

There's a countdown before it reaches critical mass. Inside the N-Zone, the four battle Doom again, and manage to leave him trapped there after he disfigures himself soaking up too much power. The Four manage to escape, but Ben gets the blunt of it to protect Reed and can't switch back.

The machine is destroyed, Doom is gone, the four have learned to work as a team, and Reed vows to find a cure for Ben. And it ends there.

It doesn't sound terrible, but it doesn't sound very good. More than anything, it doesn't sound like F4.

[Captain Russ]

It's lamer than I could have imagined.

[Abraham Smashington]

I hope there is a joke about the Anon mask...
