Dude from the show ‘GIRLS’ could PLAY NIGHTWING in ‘BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN.’
So…like. Are Snyder and Goyer just unrolling the entire universe in Batman vs. Superman? Is there even going to be something baller to be unveiled in Justice League of Affleck?
Olga Kurylenko testing for WONDER WOMAN role in ‘BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN’. Mayhaps.
Olga Kurylenko is testing for the role of Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Supereveryone. And she ain’t the only one. Maybe. With each new actress that is rumored to be up for the part, the potential for that character appearing crystallizes further into fact.
Rumor: DICK GRAYSON to make appearance in ‘BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN.’
Eh, it ain’t as titillating to me as Marvel rocking four new live-action series on Netflix, but this is pretty cool. Right? Dick Grayson may be showing up in Batman vs. Superman, according to sources. Humans. Specifically the Latino Review.
Zack Snyder sort of doesn’t get SYMBOLISM; Thinks ‘Man of Steel’ destruction “enhances the myth.”
Zack Snyder continues to amaze me. It really blows my mind how he continues to blow my fucking mind. Frat Boy Rock has come out to discuss the endless destruction in Man of Steel and spends most of the time puking all over himself with terms he wields clumsily. (I’m an idiot too, don’t think I’m feeling superior.)
BEN AFFLECK signed on for MULTIPLE FILMS as BATMAN; will help ‘CREATE’ his rendition.
In the completely unsurprising department: Benny Affleck has signed his life away for multiple flicks, agreeing to play The Cowl’d One until roughly 2032. That’s just part and parcel when it comes to joining a superhero franchise these days. Last time I checked, Chris Evans’ had leased away his sperm’s rights to play Steve Rogers should he suffer a sudden end.
There is more, though. Affleck has agreed to help create his rendition of the Batman.
Rumor: BRYAN CRANSTON up for LEX LUTHOR in ‘BATMAN/SUPERMAN.’ I vote yes.
This rumor seems a little like paint by numbers. Lex Luthor is a maniacal bald-ass motherfucker. Walter White is a maniacal bald-ass motherfucker. Why not get the same talented actor to play both roles! (Seriously though, I’d be so down with this.)
RUMOR: GOSLING, BROLIN up for BATMAN in ‘BATMAN VS SUPERMAN’ or whatever
Looks like 50% of the fucking Gangster Squad is becoming considered to don the cowl for Batman vs Superman vs Batman: The Dark Guy Strikes Things or whatever. And if they can’t get them, Warner Bros is only considering like 3,000 other people.
FRANK MILLER and ZACK SNYDER meeting over ‘SUPERMAN VS. BATMAN.’ Ugh?
So an overrated, under-talented hack of a director and a washed-up, ideologically shifted writer walk into a bar. That’s uh, that’s all I got. Oh, I guess I could say this: I could not give less of a fuck about Frank Miller and Zack Snyder meeting to discuss how the former is going to shit all over the buttocks of the latter’s seminal work. You know, in an attempt to pay homage. Or be inspired by it. Or whatever.
OMEGA-CAST #3 – Squatchin, SDCC, and Pancakes.
Now that Patrick Bateman and Rendar Frankenstein have returned from squatchin’ in the Great White North, the Three Omega Idiots decide to tackle the San Diego Comic Convention Thing. Plus! Taking gnarly dumps, maybe two functioning microphones, how much better Thor is than The Flash, and cheap plugs of shitty t-shirts.
Opinions Vary: Summer Movies Should Be More Than Fleeting Entertainment
[Caff note: Pacific Rim spoilers in here.]
I. Preamble
One of the neat things about such a small, tight-knit community is that narratives can begin to grasp hold. Throughout this very summer, the lot of us have discussed the latest crop of Whiz-Bang Hollywood Fecaltainment. As the movies have arrived, we have all received them in a variety of manners.
More than anything, I think I could be typified as generally disappointed by this latest crop. As movie after movie has been released I have been somewhat entertained. But for the most part, I have found them to be ephemeral, forgettable piles of crap.
Butting heads with even my own brother who (whom?) I typically see eye-to-eye with, I began to ask myself why I’ve been so disappointed. I figured I’d use this Opinions Vary to articulate my feelings. Namely, that this summer’s blockbusters have been bereft of Goosebump Moments, and that I don’t (and shouldn’t) accept middling efforts when this very genre is capable of capstone experiences and inspirational wankery.
