The Natural Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I liked Ghostbusters growing up from the films, that theme song and the cartoon. The first Ghostbusters was so well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 23 hours ago, J.T. said: I also didn't really care for the subsequent novels. I got the whole "power can corrupt even the incorruptible" moral to the story, but then the misery and misfortune that Herbert heaped on the Atredes family just got ridiculous. I tried to re-read 2nd book a few years ago and nearly fell asleep. I remember the 3rd pissed me off so bad. The old Sci-Fi mashup of the two if actually pretty watchable because it fixes several of the problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 I am gonna assume they are just gonna skip the whole part where Richard walked out on his first wife and 5 kids before having Venus and Serena with his second wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 So you have Serena Williams, the greatest tennis player of any gender, and Venus Williams, who's what probably top 10 in her gender, and you center the movie on their father? Anyone else feel that's strange? I can't see any future feature film about Tiger Woods being all about Earl. Of course, they did make a TV movie about Walter Gretzky, so what do I know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard was pretty damn prominent early on in their careers and very vocal. Tiger's father wasn't in the limelight like that IIRC. And to me, a film specifically centered around Venus and Serena right now would be strange even though Serena appears to be very, very close to the end of her career. A big part of the film would have to be devoted to their dad either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say she's the most successful but greatest? She would lose at least 98 sets out of 100 against Joker, Nadal, Federer, Sampras, Agassi and tons of other guys. * - she did actually play Karsten Braasch (ranked 203) and lost.

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 HOUSE OF GUCCI Starring Adam Driver, Lady Gaga, Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, and Jared Leto Directed by Ridley Scott -- Soon to be your gay friend's favorite movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 People hanging onto Ghostbusters nostalgia continues to confuse me. Let it die. House of Gucci looks like Scott making a companion piece to All the Money in the World. Hope the movie plays better, but at the very least thank you for show me some stars (and unfortunately, Jared Leto). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 So is The Green Knight actually coming out next weekend? I thought that was a next year movie, not a right around the corner one. Like, I didn't go to see THE suicide squad over this weekend because I thought I'd leave it till there was some positive word of mouth, but if Green Knight is on next Friday, I'll watch that instead. Or maybe have a 2 movie day, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidas Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 It's been pulled from distribution in the UK due to Covid even though cases are decreasing. Apparently Shymaladingdong's Old is out here, but I've seen zero advertising. Didn't even know Jungle Cruise was out until today. What a strange time to be a consumer.

AxB Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 So they're going ahead with releasing the Blockbuster type movies, your Fast & Furious and THE Suicide Squad, but the smaller budget releases are being put back?
