Christopher Nolan is adapting The Odyssey into a movie. 

Crafty Odysseus will be played by Tom Holland. 

Well, nevermind that...

That's Matt Damon as Wise Odysseus. 

Just due to his age, people are guessing Holland will play Telemachus (son of Odysseus)

 

In other words, Martin wants to spend the next 6 months in Hawai'i.

Spoiler

 

I seriously hope they told Marty to put on some sunscreen. That skin is the color of the post backgrounds on here. 

You should've seen De Niro on Colbert last night. It was a disaster, to the point Steven just laughed and ripped up his cards. Bob played (is?) the doddering old man, only combined with the obstinate 'getting interviewed' Robert De Niro, and said next to nothing. There were awkward silences, long pauses, forgotten memories resulting in aborted questions, it was horr-i-ble.

Good thing Dwayne has family to help him prepare for the that role.

”bang bang”

Scorsese going from shitting on Marvel movies, to working with The Rock, is not something I saw coming.  Any word on Kevin Hart’s role in this one?

There was a time when I would've been intrigued to see what Scorsese could do with The Rock. Now, I think we've got a big enough sample size to see that he's really not that great an actor, and I'm not optimistic about this movie.

Replace Pesci with Hart and he'd have been justified killing Billy Batts.

I’m willing to wait and see how that MMA movie from one of the Safdie’s turns out. I think he was on his way to being an interesting character actor before he pivoted to kids movies and then action blockbusters.

I really wish he wouldn't insist on being a more or less good guy in every role. We know from decades in wrestling that he's at his best (and, ironically, most likable) when he's playing a narcissistic asshole, and I'd love to seem him bring the energy to, if not a villain, at least an antihero role.

Scorsese is going to remake Goodfellas with The Rock as Henry Hill and Kevin Hart as Tommy DeVito. He'll get Jack Black to play James Conway. Karen Gillian will play Karen Hill.

That sounds absolutely terrible. It'll probably happen.

 

No, it'll be Amy Schumer playing Karen. 

I hate this.

But also, Chris Hemsworth plays Billy Batts. They beat him to death with a big hammer and then bury him under a theme park. 

 

Go getcher fuckin' shinebox.

 

THE RULE OF JENNY PEN

John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush

I should probably put this under horror but everyone needs to see John Lithgow dancing and talking in a Cockney accent

I saw a headline for a story that had this trailer and it was something like "John Lithgow terrorizes a retirement home" and I couldn't stop laughing

I'll probably go see The Rule of Jenny Pen. (what I haven't seen I don't know)

That sounds like its subtitle would be "Loki's Revenge", if you know your Norse mythology.
