Bringing back this Twitter post from the lead-up to the Snyder Cut's release that I'm sure Zack Snyder would get a good laugh from.

Happy 19th Birthday, 300!

Addendum - given the warehouse settings, human trafficking plot, and Milla's aforementioned ex-soldier backstory, I don't think it's too far off to describe #Protector as "Imagine a Steven Seagal movie if the star wasn't sleepwalking through the whole thing."

Scott has been building toward this interview since he started the show. Plus JYB is just a fantastic guest and cool person. Make sure to give this one a listen

#Protector is the best Milla Jovovich action flick in years, with Milla's ex-soldier going full mama grizzly to rescue her kidnapped daughter. Excellent gunplay and fight scenes orchestrated by OG Liu Kang Ho-Sung Pak, and a clever (albeit heartbreaking) twist.

captain america says " i can do this all day " in front of a building ALT: captain america says " i can do this all day " in front of a building

About an hour ago, I got knocked down with a pretty solid roundhouse kick to the head in sparring class tonight, stood right back up, finished the fight, and fought three more.

Not to brag, but sometimes, I feel like I really underestimate my own ability to take a hit.

Johnny Yong Bosch joins us today to talk about his upcoming movie, Spades. Formerly associated films such as The Order and Legend of the White Dragon and more than a few references to Power Rangers. There's also a very serious conversation about Jason David Frank.

Few openings go as hard as WOLF WARRIOR 2! Action maestro Sam Hargrave making Wu Jing look better than ever and creating without a doubt one of the best underwater fight scenes all capped off with a glorious sniper shot into a RPG blast title card….🀌🏻🀌🏻

The fact that it was ever taken remotely seriously to start with will baffle me until the day I die.

Especially with the character of GL, and as a parallel to the criticism of Snyder's movies as being too drab and colorless.

Which, if I live to be 500 years old, I will never understand how THAT narrative got started or was ever taken the slightest bit seriously.

BTW, that post isn't meant to be a flippant dismissal of Lanterns, which is actually the DCU project I'm most interested in. Mostly, it's just me jumping in on the observation of the Lanterns trailer and overall marketing being decidedly less green/colorful than one would expect...

I love that "WB had other plans for John Stewart" line, as if the "planning"/general alternative to Snyder's road map put forth by WB's management didn't amount to

Batman v Superman Has Outlived Captain America: Civil War Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Captain America: Civil War both debuted in theatres around the world in 2016,

I wrote this about two years ago. I feel the last 72 hours have given a lot of credence to the thesis I was going on.

So, since I seldom get out to the movie theater on Thursday nights these days like I used to pre-COVID, I'm probably gonna be behind on the #Scream7 talk by about 24 hours, but I'm seeing very split reactions, to put it mildly. Anyone got their two cents to share with me?

Sam Raimi tells us how to make the perfect mixture for fake blood.

β€œA good thick mix of karo syrup, red food coloring, a little blue to give it that unaerated look, and a bit of coffee to make it dark... I don’t mean to brag but hello, I’m here, I know how to throw blood.”

I'm gradually resigning myself to the reality that the marketing of every DCU HBO Max series is gonna consist of a single image for a period of 8 to 10 months, followed by a meh logo reveal, followed by a month or two of actual trailers, key art, and whatnot.
