Apparently, they just started a shooting a film starring Jeremy Renner called Kill the Messenger (adapted from a book of the same name). Michael K. Williams will play Freeway Rick Ross. Yeah, I'm up for this.

Can we amend the thread title to Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Friendly Neighborhood But Still Douchey Unlikeable Spider-man?

As for Alvarez's corner, I don't know if Chepo Reynoso is the trainer you would want in your corner for this type of fight. For an Austin Trout fight, it probably doesn't make a difference. Maybe it's the language barrier, but some of the weaknesses in Canelo's game are still readily apparent. In the Trout fight, you basically saw the best and worst of Canelo Alvarez. I feel it's like when Felix Trinidad and Fres Oquendo were praising Papa Trinidad. Then, they were asked to fight a totally different way than they had been fighting their whole career against people who had answers for them.
BTW, Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse will be on the Mayweather vs. Canelo PPV undercard officially.

Was Giant Silva on the list? I remember Gary Giaetti(spelling?) had a rat face back in the day.. . .
How do we feel about acromegaly? Because that would mean combat sports and basketball would have that on lock.

R.I.P.D. looks actually pretty funny from the commercials that started running while the board was down, which means I'm going to get even more messed up. Looks like it has that sleeper cult classic kind of appeal to it.
Well, it sounds like the advance screenings are being held off until Thursday night. That is not a good sign. I already read that it's tracking towards less than $15 million for a three day total.

Anyone that recognizes TDKR as the festering pile of shit it is, is aces in my book.

I think what you'd see is more historical pieces. Aren't there still some backlogged HOF bios/obits that Dave never got around to? Also, without MMA Dave would likely have more time to watch lucha and puro and indies and so naturally it would get more time devoted to it
There are plenty of historical pieces about MMA that Dave could have written as well. There is always going to be something that cuts into the coverage of something else. If a big WWE story breaks or New Japan puts on a top notch iPPV, I doubt a story about UFC fight night bonuses would be the first or most detailed thing you see. However, the UFC is coming off the upset of the year and heading into another transition in their television programming. In addition, the biggest fight of the year was made. That's not even mentioning the UFC finalizing the rest of their PPVs for the year. I'd expect there to be coverage.

Worse than Olympus Has Fallen with its seemingly gleeful depictions of innocent civilians getting slaughtered?
Olympus Has Fallen was just outright violent. White House Down is downright hokey and corny with the awful dialogue and terrible stuntmen. Eckhart didn't come off as presidential, but Jamie Foxx came off as your average third place finisher mayoral candidate with how terrible the script was. It didn't feel like a movie that cost $150 million. Everytime they had news coverage or a presidential press conference thing on television, it came off as really cheap. They couldn't spring for some realistic looking television graphics? No one speaks how people were speaking in this film.
Also, James Wan (Saw franchise, Insidious) is the new Fast & Furious director.

White House Down was the worst movie I saw this summer. From the sound of the bullets to the dialogue, there was nothing redeeming about it. Just absolutely godawful in every way.

She had to get that from her parents or older relatives because I don't think anyone used "boy of color" since Eisenhower was in office.

It's missing about 50 or 60 names, but they tried at least.

He is only been covering it for like 20 years and his coverage has varied based on the success of the sport. If the sport was at the pre-Zuffa purchase levels, I doubt he would consider working for MMAFighting and devote only a few paragraphs to it in the WO. But it's not and part of his living comes from covering it. Get the fuck over it. Goddamn.

Stop hating on Tony Stark! I don't ever remember him doing anywhere close to the damage that Gipsy Danger was doing. Tony is more responsible than rolling in a suit that is 260 feet tall.

I liked the Pentecost character WAYYYYYY more than Idris playing Janek in Prometheus. Janek came off as unauthentic whereas I could see Stacker Pentecost actually existing silly name aside. Both characters were written the exact same way with pretty similar outcomes. Pacific Rim actually gave you a reason to at least care slightly about him instead of being generic leader/captain #4345. Out of all the characters, the only problem I had is with Becket. The movie assumes that you can believe that what happened with his character and his brother was an aberration. You really don't see him prepare himself MENTALLY to get back into a Jaeger. I can see him better understanding all the risk involved (as emphasized in the movie), but you don't really get a good sense that he is fully prepared to take the task of risking himself and others. I would at least expect him to consider the lives of others more, but instead, he is pushing Kaijus into buildings that may or may not be occupied.

You can still make those type of movies, but it gets very gritty at the box office during this time of year. Take a look at the schedule for 2014. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes went to mid July while the X-Men movie gets the prime May spot with very little competition. There is no way that Dawn is going to take #1 if Fast Seven comes out a week before. If it had stayed in May, it would have at least had a realistic shot at taking number 1 the week after Godzilla.

I haven't seen it, but I haven't gotten the impression that Pacific Rim is a deep, complex movie. I don't think that angle holds weight. I always thought it was going to be a visually impressive film with big robots and heavy special effects. The plot? Save the world. Done.
The only thing deep about Pacific Rim is the underlying subplot revolving around competition (father/son, the scientists, brothers, the Jaeger pilots). That's about it.

Apparently, this cost $130 million to make.
