And crappy old practical effects is more of a problem for the Italian Puma Man https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081693 or even more so for the Spanish Super Sonic Man (for celedhring!) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079971:P

Turkish Superman!

Not supposed to be released in the West since Turkey did not recognise intellectual property.  :P  :contract:

This one is even better, as in crazier.

3 Dev Adam a.k.a Captain America & Santo vs Spider-Man

Habbaku

Midsommar. What a lovely, wholesome film about the coming-together of two different groups of people to feast, sing, dance, and celebrate the defeat of ancient enemies.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm rewatching The Imitation Game on Netflix and there's a PG-13 warning about "historical smoking."  :lol:

So, we get a black female Bond, apparently. Lashana Lynch. The cultural fallout is going to be pretty interesting to watch (not actually). But I'm really looking forward to see what happens if they try to remain "faithful" to the character and she gets in bed with every hunk that shows up in the film, and how that is received.

They should have ended the series with Brosnan's third movie.

Maybe she's a lesbian?

Craig's batted .500 with his Bond films so far. I particularly love Casino Royale.

No Desmond Llewellyn in any of them. :thumbsdown:

Who cares about Bond, how are they going to top having Ana de Armas and Léa Seydoux in 25?

I don't know how having a female lead in a chick flick is going to work out.

By having Zac Efron and Liam Hemsworth in 26!

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Lol poor idris Elba.

By the time they got to decide on this, he became insufficiently progressive on account of being a male. :P

Probably. Personally I'm waiting on the remake of roots staring carrot top. Get some of that ginger representation back.

The Larch

All I'm seeing are rumours and hearsay, nothing officially confirmed. Lynch is meant to play a different character in the film, named as "Nomi", who apparently "inherits" the 007 codename within MI6, but is not actually playing the James Bond character, as Craig is still in the film although supposedly retired from MI6 and pressed back into action. For all we know it can be a single scene to stoke up the film's promotion.
