    EPISODE 114 — Runaway

    It's still under DC, there was even a brief Batman/100 Bullets crossover during one of Brian Azzarello's Batman stories (Broken City) where Crispus Allen runs into Agent Graves. Last I heard they were in the process of getting the show made on Showtime, which would be perfect with shows like Ray Donovan there as well. Unfortunately I don't think Clint Eastwood is acting anymore as he would be a perfect Graves, Jared Leto would actually play a great Benito Medici, and Charlize Theron is the only actress who could play Megan Dietrich, especially after Mad Max.

    EPISODE 114 — Runaway

    Problem is that Joker is the only villain that DC has hit it out of the park with every time they put him on screen in whatever medium and he's as iconic or more than Batman. Freeze left a bad taste in people's mouths, same for Ivy though I could see them bringing her back if this is successful to bring up that relationship with Harley. Deadshot's story is kinda Pursuit of Happyness in that he's trying to do right by his daughter, but he kills people rather than try and climb the corporate ladder. Sidenote from seeing Milo Garrett as your avatar: If DC is looking to make dark adaptations, they need to get off their asses and do 100 Bullets on either HBO or Showtime, that series was amazing.

    EPISODE 114 — Runaway

    Looking forward to both as I liked Man of Steel and am intrigued by what was in the trailer, though I'm not fond of the idea of DC cramming a bunch of heroes into this movie to shotgun towards the Justice League movie. Suicide Squad I can't wait to see as I loved the most recent series and it looks like they got the tone of it correct. My one issue with it is Smith and how he tends to overpower movies, and from what I've seen so far, it looks like he rarely wears the Deadshot helmet, seemingly wanting his face to be on screen as much as possible. What's worse is I feel that he took this role solely to be the intended focal point of the movie since most of the cast are either character actors or newer actors without as big a name value as himself.

  5. Just listened to the episode again and concerning Jason asking if Terry Funk was there and shouted "You're Terry Funk!" at the crowd, I just have to respond by saying this is Terry Funk.

    EPISODE 114 — Runaway

    There are some version of Harley, mainly in her solo series, where she has the tattoos featuring card suits but it's fairly recent. And depending on the artist there have been times where she has the various kitchy clothing taglines, usually in variant covers. As for the Joker, I have read online the main rumor about the teeth is he got them knocked out by Batman after the death of Robin, which would make sense. As for him being in the movie it works as he played a pretty big role, especially concerning Harley, in the New 52 Suicide Squad, especially the Death of the Family story arc where he basically reveals that she hasn't been the only Harley he's ever had. Also from the trailer it makes it seem like the Joker is mostly in flashbacks establishing Harley's origin, and then maybe as the big bad at the end of the movie, if that's the case it will work very well. I also got the feeling that Amanda Waller had originally had the Joker in the team but he was too uncontrollable for her, hence the "I put him in a hole and then threw away the hole" line.

    EPISODE 114 — Runaway

    But that is from the comic/video game portrayals of Harley now, while the Leto Joker is a mix of various Alan Moore/Frank Miller/Grant Morrison Jokers.

    EPISODE 114 — Runaway

    Just watched this after hearing the episode, holy shit is it nuts. I agree with June that a department that basically amounts to flipping the on/off switch is completely unnecessary. I also think this movie is a prequel to The Closer/Major Crimes but that robots went out of style by the time those two shows came about with G.W. Bailey and Michael Paul Chan. Since I watched it a bit late tonight I thought I was losing my mind near the end of the movie when Selleck gets on the slowest moving elevator lift of all time and doesn't say much of anything for what felt like 10 minutes. And am I the only one who thinks the husband killed his wife and her sister in the beginning and blamed it on the robot because that machine wasn't even knee high but apparently sliced up two people enough to where they both bled out?

    Episode 16 — The Smurfs

    I mentioned in the next sentence about Rose McGowan where She made mention of how her agent let her go for going after Sandler on Twitter. While Sandler has had a string of eh movies over the last few years, he still makes enough money and has enough clout that higher ups in the industry seem to not want to rock the boat with him. While they did poke some fun at the Blended trailer, they really didn't give it the HDTGM treatment. My post was in regard to that if they seemingly pulled the Smurfs episode due to eventually starting a working relationship with Jayma, that they may want to play it safe and not try and close any possible doors to future projects, as Sandler is basically the James Patterson of movies and will do anything and put it on a movie screen. http://www.eonline.com/news/670446/rose-mcgowan-says-agent-dropped-her-for-criticizing-adam-sandler-via-twitter

    Terminator: Genisys (2015)

    Cloverfield may be the most recent along with the last Godzilla where they tried to go back to a bit of mystery in what was being released. I remember seeing the Cloverfield trailer before the first Transformers and checking that site every once in a while trying to understand what the pictures were all about. Though I do remember the theories being everything from a Lost movie to a Voltron movie, especially after that weird site for Slusho where you made a robot out of the drink was attached to the promotion for the movie. Then Godzilla (2014) did a similar thing where you didn't see the monster except pieces of its tail, yet then you had people complaining that it looked too big, so no one can be happy with anything.

    Terminator: Genisys (2015)

    And that's the issue I have with today's marketing, they are too afraid to keep anything secret in the hopes of losing any kind of movie goer. By the week before the premier we know who will be doing a cameo in the next Marvel movie, or what the big fight scene will be. Hell even movies like Quarantine and Fast 6 showed the actual endings of their movies in their fucking trailers. Look at movies like the first Jurassic Park and the Broderick Godzilla, you never really saw the whole dinosaur, which created such interest in those movies. I'm surprised that Jurassic World didn't show the Indominus Rex in the trailers until after it was released, though they did like Godzilla did and released an early art shot about a week before the movie came out. I honestly believe that the John Connor twist would have been as amazing as seeing Arnold be the good guy in T2, if only they didn't put it in every piece of fucking promotional material.

    The Good Son (1993)

    To be fair he was just a stalker in that, but that was also paired with Insomnia where he was a killer, Death to Smoochy which I thought was his best role of all these dark roles, and even the Final Cut which was kind of a dark sci-fi movie. He even did an episode of Law and Order: SVU which played on the news story that Compliance was also based on. And I don't think it took much to convince him to do it, as at that point in his career was sort of on a downturn after winning his Oscar with What Dreams May Come, Patch Adams, Jakob the Liar, and Bicentennial Man, so he was probably looking for something new to reinvent himself, which was a great choice on his part.

    The Good Son (1993)

    Yeah talk about a complete 180 in roles. This might have worked if Culkin waited a few years to make it more surprising of a turn towards darker material, like Robin Williams did in the early 2000s or what Culkin himself did in Party Monster. Yet to do it right after being in two huge holiday hits is just mind boggling and really shows why he sort of had to separate himself from his parents, as I'm sure they were a focal point in him taking this role. And very rarely do killer kid movies do well enough to not come off as bonkers or hokey. The Omen and Bad Seed are two examples of it working well for a variety of reasons while this and countless others are just insane because eventually the audience realizes that the kid is either going to have to be killed or is going to get away with it, both which are pretty downer types of endings.

    Terminator: Genisys (2015)

    Actually liked this one in comparison to the last one, as even they admitted that their canon for time travel was meaningless at this point. There were nice subtle callbacks to the first two movies and I felt they did a fairly good job of recreating the scenes from the first movie, though I would have liked it if they went with the original idea to put in the original scene featuring Bill Paxton and then lead to the fight between the two Arnolds, but the scene they shot was still pretty well done. And with how Terminator 3 played up the angle of "Judgment Day is inevitable" I am interested to see where the sequels go now that gigantic portions of the Terminator storyline have been changed. I didn't like that they gave away the biggest twist concerning John Connor in all of the trailers and posters, as I felt if they kept that quiet it would have been a great reveal in the movie. Also, I get why they didn't bring back Paxton, but I don't get why they didn't bring back Joe Morton to play Miles Dyson, replacing him with Courtney B. Vance. Morton would have worked with the timeline they were creating but for some reason they switched him out. My biggest gripe is probably that Jai Courtney is so vanilla as an action star, especially a character like Kyle Reese. I would have liked for Anton Yelchin to come back since he did a good job in the last movie, but Courtney is the new Scott Speedman, a guy that Hollywood has tried to make the next big action star but he is just so bland that they can't do anything with him.

    Episode 16 — The Smurfs

    After this happened with what most think was due to Jayma being on The League, there is no way now that they will ever do an Adam Sandler movie. This is more evident after the recent story of Rose McGowan saying her agent dropped her after she spoke out against him for the issues with casting calls in his movies.

    Rocky IV (1985)

    Is it me or does it look like the robot is giving the Fonzie thumbs up?
  17. Damn, forgot I did. I do remember the Random Task one was for rape, because that was also former UFC fighter Joe Son who came to the cage carrying a giant cross and wearing eye liner during some fights.
  18. That same thing happened a couple years back when the Walking Dead was starting out on TV. There was an extra who had sent Ricin to various political and TV figures if I remember right and she was credited as being an actress on the Walking Dead. Even Greg Nicotero went on to say that with the hundreds of extras that they have she wasn't even featured on screen for more than a second at most.

    Rocky IV (1985)

    Poor autistic kids.
  20. I had the unfortunate luck of having not one but TWO copies of the TMNT concert VHS because the aunt who gave it to me as a gift forgot she gave it to me the first time. That movie was horrible and I wish they were able to play Splinter's song because it was truly horrible and the Asian voice was even more over the top. There was also a "there going to regret that in hindsight" song where the Turtles sing about talking and walking straight, while backup dancers are dressed as army soldiers, which I think was in response to the don't ask don't tell policy being in the news.

    Rocky IV (1985)

    Very true about the exhibition match, but that goes for other exhibitions in the Rockyverse. The fight in 3 with Thunderlips became a gigantic brawl which included managers and people from the crowd and in Rocky Balboa Rocky and the then champion were breaking bones in a match that had coverage and an audience that would rival most huge superfights.

    Why did they change the theme song?

    PERFECT! Although if we can't get Colt 45, even though it works every time, maybe Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles since the show is based out of L.A.

    The Duff

    To be fair some schools do set up their own sites that are for social interaction as well as doing school work, hell even Facebook started out as a site for Harvard students. It seems like people wanted this to be the next big teen movie, like Mean Girls, as all the promotion was about how this was an anticipated movie that everyone was creaming over. Yet you know its not that great when the quotes in trailers or on posters are big font, but the person who said it is in size .5 font, i.e. trailers for The Room and Gooby had a lot of these quotes.
