Warner Bros. To Rethink Action And Romance

Source: https://www.newsarama.com/50051-arrow-verse-riverdale-more-rethinking-love-scenes-fight-scenes-in-post-covid-19-reality-of-filming.html

So the above article from Newsarama states that a Warner Bros. meeting was discussing means of producing shows in a post “prevailing circumstances” world; most notably in regards to its fight and romance sequences.

Specifically, folks want to limit as much physical contact as possible while filming their shows, which probably means hand-to-hand combat, loving embraces, and even pecks on the cheek could be a thing of the past.

Yeah, honestly, this is not for me.

Look, I get these are trying times and we need to do our part to be safe and protect others. I also get the need to produce fresh new entertainment to take our minds off the world around us. Unfortunately, a lot of the new entertainment taking place right now is doing nothing but remind me of the world outside. Whether it’d be webcam concerts that were good enough for Youtube or empty arenas playing host to combat sports or wrestling, there is never a point where I’m consuming current material that isn’t reminding me of the prevailing circumstances.

You want to know what I watch these days? Old wrestling shows via WWE Network, Youtube, and Impact Plus. Old movies and television shows on Netflix or the various DVD and Blu-Rays in my collection. I watch Youtube videos; primarily stuff relating to video games and wrestling. These are some of the things tha pre-occupy my day that isn’t based on life needs and web material.

I rarely consume current content before the pandemic hit due to its largely heavy political slant. I want a diversion, not an agenda. And now given the future that mass media entertainment could be headed towards for the foreseeable future, I’m not sure I’m going to want to watch anything on the boom tube anytime soon.

Yeah, so that’s my piece.

Every time there’s a new Terminator movie, the first question I ask is… “Why?”

Cinemassacre's Top 50 Shitty Shark Movies

James Rolfe made a Top 40-ish Shitty Shark Movie video ages ago and he uploaded this one a couple years ago, which has been expanded to 50. Surprisingly, Sharknado does not dominate this fucking list. Besides that, I am amazed that he only  bumped the old list up to 50 because there are plenty more bad shark movies. Maybe in another five years, eh?
Honestly, I’m more disappointed that Rolfe didn’t upload his Top 10 Shark Movies video, which is worth watching if you can find. I don’t know if you can. It might still be on his website. I assume it still works. Right?

Legend Of The Cash Grab Dragon – NO BUYS

It’s been a while since I’ve touched on anything related to our old buddy JDF, but I felt somewhat compelled to chime in on this one occasion.

Full disclosure: I am not the biggest fan of Jason David Frank. I’m sure in real life, he is a genuinely nice guy and I have nothing but the utmost respect for his accomplishments in his martial arts endeavors and at one point, his place as a positive role model for kids. And however you feel about the character he portrayed on that one show he’s often associated with, I honestly felt the guy did a good job with the role he was given in his prime years. However, when it comes to his public persona and his overbearing ego, he just rubs me the wrong way and I try to avoid anything involving him whatsoever.

Saw That Endgame Movie…

So, for those who care, I ended up watching that Endgame movie over the weekend and I’ll just say that as a film that concludes eleven years worth of cinematic continuity, it was satisfying enough. Without dipping too much into spoilers, everything is tied up with a nice little bow and there’s some of the usual big spectacles with everyone all over the place, the usual assortment of funny jokes along with some not-so-funny jokes, and they found a way to write off the folks who no longer have contracts to do more movies.

I suppose the question now would be what’s next… and at the moment, I don’t know for sure if that question has been answered or if there’s any indication of that in the upcoming Spider-Man film due later this year or so… but for now, I guess we can all follow the Avengers box office after its billion dollar global debut box office obliteration.
Or… maybe you can follow it. I’ve got better things to do.

My Reaction To A New Doom Movie Coming Out

You know… I had this Ramble video planned out and the audio recorded… but because it’s a video game movie starring a female protagonist… and apparently, played by one of those tiny actresses and not one with a more imposing physique so as to not completely obliterate my suspension of disbelief… but I guess getting an actual badass MMA woman was out of the movie budget… sorry, I’m going off on a tangent, am I?

Listen, if anything, I’ll include the audio onto the next DTM-Cast, but as far as the movie goes… anyone remember the last video game movie that had “annihilation” in its title?

About Will Smith’s Genie… Meh

Mena Massoud as the street rat with a heart of gold, Aladdin, and Will Smith as the larger-than-life Genie in Disney’s ALADDIN, directed by Guy Ritchie.

Apparently, this isn’t the final form of Will Smith’s take on the Genie made popular by the late Robin Williams in the ’92 animated film; that version is being worked on in post-production. Honestly, I don’t think we need to paint Will Smith blue. It’s fine if you want to remake your old animated works that don’t need a live-action remake; just try to make it its own little thing instead of being a word-for-word Xerox.

Hell, they’ve already taken that first step by giving Aladdin a shirt. Points for that, right?

Right?
