I'm going to have to check it out, once I can do so for free.

Not sure if you have already seen the 2017 two hour long (crap) version but Snyder's director cut is 242 minutes. The latter is double in length but waaay better than Whedon's original.

 

[DallasEast]

It should be on HBO Max again.

^ This.

@Runwildboys , it should display in your HBO Max guide as the gray version on the left. For all that's holy, do not select the more colorful on the right.

Yes, I am being silly and overly dramatic but seriously do not select the other one.

Don't have it.

I have seen the original. It was meh.

Don't have it.

You can probably get a free trial and just binge watch a bunch of stuff that they offer.

Look at @Juggernaut image. For whatever reason, the structure reminded me of a guard tower from the classic movie.

I don't remember there being a desert in that movie and since he also mentioned that frequent visitors to thread should get it, figured it had to be a comic based movie...... but I got it on the first try.

I do love Bridge Over the River Kwai, but it's frustrating to watch, I end up whistling and humming that song for days.....lol

Sony’s Madame Web Film Moves From Summer To Fall 2023
Fall has generally been a good time for Sony to release its MCU-adjacent Spider-Man spinoffs. Both the original Venom and its sequel, Let There Be Carnage, proved to be solid October performers when they premiered in 2018 and 2021, respectively. Now, the studio is hoping that Madame Web can bring in a similar turnout. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Peter Parker’s clairvoyant ally won’t be making her big-screen debut on July 7, 2023 as previously expected. Instead, the film will hit theaters three months later on October 6, 2023. Madame Web film moves

Madame Web recently began production with Dakota Johnson starring as the titular blind psychic. We still don’t know if Johnson is playing Cassandra Webb, Julia Carpenter, or a brand new incarnation of the character. Regardless, she leads a cast that currently includes Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Emma Roberts, and Mike Epps. Earlier this week, Adam Scott was confirmed to have a role in the film as well.

X-MEN And BLADE Marvel Studios Reboot Titles Possibly Revealed
Deadline shared some details on what fans should expect from this weekend's SDCC earlier today, and may have revealed/confirmed the titles of Marvel Studios' Blade and X-Men reboots in the process.

Earlier today, Deadline published an extensive report on what fans should expect from this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con, and a couple of very interesting details seem to have flown under the radar.

When breaking down the potential projects Marvel Studios will likely showcase during their Hall H panel, the trade refers to the upcoming MCU Blade reboot as "The Blade," and the planned X-Men project as "The Mutants."

This isn't the first time we've heard The Mutants mentioned as a possible title for the studio's elusive X-Men reboot (the rumor did the rounds last year, and appears to have been confirmed), and while calling the Daywalker's next movie The Blade may seem like an odd choice, it would be one way to differentiate the project from the original trilogy starring Wesley Snipes.

This doesn't make either title official, of course, but Deadline has been known to drop these kind of reveals in Comic-Con previews over the years, so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on as we head into the weekend.

Even if we don't get any significant updates on these particular projects, we're hearing that the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is all-but guaranteed. We will also likely see some new footage from She-Hulk, and hopefully first looks at other Disney+ shows, but the studio is expected to save quite a few major announcements for D23 - so probably best not to get your hopes up for that big Secret Wars confirmation!

Just as it would have been an awful choice of Channing Tatum as Gambit ( Uuugh) ..and thank goodness the movie was cancelled in it's tracks by Disney.

I don't think i'd be fond of Aaron Paul as Gambit either.
Sounds like they are trying to place a popular facial icon to the film/character, instead of the correct actor.

Canning Tatum as Gambit ?

Taylor Kitsch as Gambit in Xmen: Origins

Aaron Paul as Gambit ?

Top Gun: Maverick Soars Past The Avengers to Become Ninth-Highest Grossing Domestic Film of All Time
By Alex Loroff | MovieWeb
July 21, 2022

Top Gun: Maverick has been the movie sensation of the summer, pulling in more than $1 billion from audiences around the world. In the United States, the Top Gun sequel continues to make history as one of the highest-grossing domestic films ever released. After making its way into the top 10 a few days ago, Maverick has now edged past The Avengers to take sole position of the #9 spot on the all-time domestic box office list. Maverick has now made $623.8 million domestically, just enough to beat out the $623.3 million earned by The Avengers a decade ago.

The next major hurdle for Maverick to clear is the $650 million domestic mark, which would put the film in the same company as Jurassic World ($652 million) and Titanic ($659.3 million). At that point, the climb up the top 10 list gets a little steeper, with Avengers: Infinity War ($678.8 million) sitting at #6 and each of the top five films grossing more than $700 million. For those keeping track at home, the five highest-grossing domestic films of all time are Black Panther ($700 million), Avatar ($760 million), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($804 million), Avengers: Endgame ($858 million), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million). It will be a tall task for Maverick to make its way into the top-tier group, but the sky is seemingly the limit for the film, given the way it's performed this summer.

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy is coming back to Netflix next month
By Ray Ampoloquio | xfire
July 21, 2022

We know that Netflix is in the midst of a crisis right now, what with all the firing going on. But, if Netflix does have to cut its losses and start firing people, we're hoping the streaming giant doesn't remove the people behind its social media platforms.

To announce the arrival of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy on Netflix starting August 1, the Netflix social media team decided to go with the perfect meme.

If you're curious to see what it is, check out the tweet below:

yeh i didn't get even the slightest hint or notion of a Cajun accent from Taylor Kitsch's Gambit in Xmen: Origins.

He's from New Orleans, IIRC.

It's doubtful accents will be a major condition for actors in the current MCU. Elisabeth Olsen's Sokovian accent was fading before WandaVision. Her accent was never as distinct as it was in Age of Ultron by the time she played in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

That's true, but IMO, Gambit's culture is a big part of who he is. I think it's important to keep his accent...maybe not as thick, but it should always be discernable.
