Pizza has every block of the food pyramid.

Of course Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are believable.

Your ass a ninja would wear glasses.

You would have to always adjust them. Do you wear glasses? They aren't fun and you can't do consistent physical crap even with them when you have the elastic band you're talking about.

Bud, it's a movie about mutated, human-sized animals in masks fighting other mutated, human-sized animals while crossing between dimensions. They drive a van with a big turtle shell on it. Their best friend is a reporter who for some reason doesn't run away from them every time she sees them. They time travel. They TALK.

I wear glasses while doing manual labor all of the time. Maybe I'm not ninja fighting, but Donatello wearing glasses is LITERALLY among the most believable, least fantastical things this franchise has ever done. How could anybody be so hung up on this detail?

Simply gotta assume you're just doing it for the giggles at this point, and to that I commend you.

I do, which is why I say bullcrap. I wore a strap with them in school for gym class and the like. If they are strapped on properly, they won't fall down. Just feels like you are trolling at this point, or have never had your glasses properly fitted.

NOW what the heck is going on.

The lack of mentions for The Little Mermaid here makes me wonder what's the general opinion. I didn't know Bardem was going to be in it, lol

I can't imagine they are letting him do another DCEU movie. Though Gunn has said that there is room for Elseworlds to explain stuff like The Batman and Joker (and their sequels) which won't fit into the new DCU movies. Maybe Man of Steel 2 fits under that banner? I just can't see them letting Snyder have another go round, or Cavill after they shafted him on coming back as Superman.

Maybe a podcast continuation of the Snyderverse or something?

There's no way there's going to be another live action DCEU movie. Cavill got shafted, Affleck already said he would never do another superhero movie again (too much pressure, was bad for his mental health), Flash is like two steps away from going to jail all the time, and that's just for starters.

Though it's certainly possible to keep the universe and its characters - if not the voice actors - around for those animated specials DC puts out.

That said some people really need to please, PLEASE move on from the Snyder garbage. Fudge.

Just saw a post on one of the comic book sites theorizing that it could be a limited theatrical release for the Snyder Cut. That actually makes sense. One of Snyder's posts apparently has the word "IMAX" under the dates, so that's the evidence.

Gunn has already said that he wants his new voice actors to also do the same characters in animation, in order to push the idea of it all being one shared universe. Of course, he might not realize how paying A-list actors to do direct to video movies is unfeasible, but that is his plan, anyway. So that seems to leave little room for the former DCEU actors to do animated projects.

Well it's a good thing none of the remaining DCEU actors are A-Listers. :D

Ha! True, but you know what I mean. It's far cheaper to hire someone else who is not a recognizable "movie star" even if they are B-C-D list, especially if they do a decent enough imitation of the movie star's voice.

Didn't realize this already started airing, can't seem to find it anywhere

@theJaw Essex County TV miniseries

Quasi (Broken Lizard)

https://youtu.be/PLUjuJpaTOU

@Kommie I forgot that was even happening. Weird that it's only airing in Canada, apparently you can watch it for free on the network's website up there (or via VPN). I'm gonna have to track that down on the ol' high seas.

@MrBean That looks terrible and I love it. Always down for a Broken Lizard movie.

@Kommie just watched the trailer, it looks fudgein spot on. Can't wait to check it out.

Not on the high seas that I've found. And you need VPN to watch on their site https://gem.cbc.ca/essex-county

Yah I mentioned the VPN, I'll just do it that way. I couldn't find it on the high seas either. Very weird.

Let me know if you watch it, I might wait till it's all out to do the VPN trick. Or see if it comes elsewhere.....

Will do. It’s pretty wild that there’s like… literally no information about the show ANYwhere. Not even a Rotten Tomatoes page.

Yup. I saw that as well. It's a damn shame, only thing I've really seem is the IMDB user score and that's it.

The Snyder thing is a ComicCon style thing he is hosting himself. Screenings of his 3 DCEU movies, with Q&A and special guests afterwards.

In California, but article mentions there are plans to livestream the panels.

I know people love his "artistic style" or whatever, but I really do NOT like how every shot in a Wes Anderson movie looks washed out and shot on a camera from 1952. Again, I know that is kinda "his thing" or whatever. But I just do not enjoy it. The still frame above or just Googling the movie and looking at ANY frame from ANY shot in it and they all look exactly the same. I just don't get the love for that. *shrug*

A E S T H E T I C

Lol. At least in this case, the style seems to fit with the setting and period of the movie.

I just noticed, after doing a quick search, that I've never seen a WA movie from start to finish. Just little pieces here and there.

To be fair, this movie is the only Anderson movie I can think of that has that "washed out" look. Most of the time it's just the symmetrical shot gimmick, but the colors are always very vivid (save for The French Dispatch & maybe Rushmore, but that one was before his style really took shape). It looks like he was intentionally trying to give this the old-timey retro look with the color palette due to the story/setting.

I personally love the storybook aesthetic that comes with a Wes Anderson movie. It's like you're looking in on a moving diorama, a snapshot in the lives of the characters you're watching. I don't know if that's his intention or if he just likes symmetrical shots but that's how I look at it. Just his visual style, lots of directors have one. We get plenty of movies shot in the standard way, so I think it's refreshing whenever Anderson releases a movie that's visually a little different. It's not for everyone of course, but I think it's pretty neat.

Blue Beetle looking good ....

Yeah, looks pretty good.. Costume looks awesome, and he's a perfect person to play Reyes..

This also looks real good. Return to the "Winter Soldier" form, it seems. That aspect of MCU has been missing for a while, looking forward to this.

Wow, that Blue Beetle trailer was cool.

Nice to see Fury back too!

Secret Invasion looks so good! Pretty excited for Blue Beetle too, despite DC being hit or miss (mostly miss).

Blue Beetle looks great, but I really question the changes they made to the character. Why isn't he in El Paso? Why is George Lopez there? Where's Paco? Why did they age his sister up? And does he still want to be a Dentist?

Ansswer: it's a DC Movie

This trailer maaaaybe gave a little too much away, especially regarding Spider-man 2099/Miguel O'Hara's character, but I have faith they saved the best for the movie itself. Still looks like it's gonna friggin rule.

This, more than any other of his movies, looks like paintings.

I can't remember the specific painters name, but this shot

is an homage to a painter and I can't for the life of me remember who it is and it's killing me.

Every frame in this movie looks like a painting.

I think Anderson's art direction in his films are exquisite. But visually, this film looks more like a painting than his others.

I re-watched French Dispatch the other night and it shot up towards the top of his films. He is one of the most unique visual storytellers of the last ... gosh, I don't know - three or four decades.
