The Aquaman film looks like another waste of time................plus this nonsense on the set:The last feud which captivated the attention of all US tabloids was the one involving Nicole Kidman and Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard. Apparently, these two cannot stand each other’s presence and the one who had the guts to admit it was the Aussie. The two blondes are currently filming for Aquaman and the awkward vibe from the set reached an alarming level. A source inside revealed for the National Enquirer that Kidman is determined to give Amber a hard time because she is one of Johnny’s closest friends and she is obviously on his side. ‘Nicole was very clear about Amber. She doesn’t have a good opinion about her because of what she has done to Johnny’, added the source. Shortly after Johnny’s messy divorce, Nicole Kidman rushed to be by the actor’s side. ‘She thinks Amber is a profiteer and a phony’. Image They cannot seriously think this lunkhead can deliver at the box office looking like this? :hair:
Depp's ex is a crazy gold digger. Her best acting was the extortion she did to depp. Kidman I don't care for but she had that Chinese billionaire who thinks of her as a muse maybe amber ought to play nice .

Aqua man maybe, traditionally nobody like him or wants a movie. Looking like khal drogo from game of thrones might bring in the 2011 crowd .

I saw Adam West over 10 years ago at a Chiller Theatre convention in New Jersey. He quickly rushed by the people in the lobby and bolted for the elevators to get to his room.

Warner Bros./DC’s Wonder Woman continues to be the popular ticket with her second Saturday of $23.8M +51% over Friday. This now puts the Patty Jenkins-directed movie on course for a second weekend of $57.2M, which by the way is more than what Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: and Suicide Squad both made in their second weekends (respectively $51.3M and $43.5M). That’s remarkable when you consider that both titles posted bigger opening weekends ($166M, $133.6M) than Wonder Woman ($103.2M). Should these figures maintain their pace into tomorrow, Wonder Woman‘s second weekend will be down 45%, which is an amazing hold for a superhero movie beating the 50%-60% average decline we typically see for Marvel fare in its sophomore session. The Gal Gadot movie should stand at $205M by EOD Sunday. Among all WB/DC superhero features’ second weekends at the B.O., Wonder Woman will file behind Dark Knight ($75.1M) and Dark Knight Rises ($62.1M)....................Universal’s The Mummy is -4% today with $11.5M from its opening day of $12M. This puts the Tom Cruise movie slightly higher in its opening at $32.2M, but it’s still a failure at the domestic box office with a lackluster audience response of B-, and an even worse Rotten Tomatoes score of 17% (it keeps going lower).

Wonder Woman is a good movie. Gadot is a good Wonder Woman, not great or the best, but good. And d**n gorgeous.
I don't know if it's the theater but it seemed like the film was dark, i mean contrast or brightness, like most of these D.C. films have been. Took away from the impressive locations and sets.
She maybe perfect for the Dc crap verse. Honestly the two best D.C. Movies are centered around their female leads. Suicide squad was basic Harley Quinn's movie. The joker they made such a big deal over was only on screen for minutes. Will smith was crap playing whatever the hell he wanted instead of the D.C. Character.

The trailer for justice league, meh, I don't have anything against the actors, I don't like Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, or Batman. He isn't very good, he's not play Bruce Wayne or batsmen he is Bat-fleck. I think just about any other actor could do a better job as Bruce Wayne, Batman, he's not playing any Bruce Wayne he's too aware that it's Ben Affleck in a role that is not very good and he's not very good at playing.
Bale was good at playing both characters.

Weekend estimates from BOM have Wonder Woman making almost twice as much in its second week as The Mummy made in its first. Ouch.

Meanwhile, I have 3 of Hammer's 4 Mummy films on my Tivo (only the first one is missing). Now might be a good time to finally get around to watching them.

Puerto Rico vote is interesting.

The side boycotting the election claims victory, tells me they didn't have a chance of winning and they know it. If they thought they could win they would have driven up the vote not pretend people doing nothing were supporting them.

Only point there is about the mass exodus because of the bankruptcy, those people didn't vote but then again maybe they did by leaving

WWE wrestler Dusty Rhodes has died. That means nothing to me, but might mean something to FBF. I just read it on Facebook, so apologies if this is one of those 2-year-old news stories that someone posts as if it's only just happened.

I wonder if there will a movie or TV series that foretells James Bond being portrayed by an alien from outer space or a robot.

The results of Carrie Fisher's inquest have been released. Looks like a combination of drugs and sleep apnoea. https://www.yahoo.com/movies/coroner-re ... 42354.html

The Cos jury couldn't agree on a verdict, supposedly they'll retry him.

I've wondered about the legality of admitting statements from a civil case that were supposed to be sealed.

It's not clear whether she had a relaps or whether it was her earlier drug use that killed her. I think the latter is the sadder possibility, One could imagine a recovering drug addict, struggling to get clean, looking at stories like this and thinking "why even bother?"
