I just have to see this legendary turd.
Probably going Friday out of pure morbid curiosity.
I've never met a single person who has seen The Spirit. I'm not convinced it actually exists.
$115m-$125m is what I'm thinking.If Venom really is opening around $50m, $150m is never ever happening.
Expect more like $110-120m.

He's a fantastic actor
Doesn't have the best judgement when it comes to picking projects though
Hardy's probably really happy he's one of Nolan's regulars
200M worldwide. Rumor was that Venom was not all that costly by superhero film standards.
If it's a stinker and they know it's a stinker and they are doubling down on marketing they are nutsI've been seeing Venom promotions everywhere. Surely marketing must have been pretty hefty, no?
I mean I think that was well established anyway.If it's a stinker and they know it's a stinker and they are doubling down on marketing they are nuts
I still remember stuff from Alec Baldwin's The Shadow, and Billy Zane's PhantomSky Captain is one of those films where you find the DVD, realise you can't remember anything about it, watch it and quickly forget everything again.
Frank Miller was convinced that he was a secret cinematic genius on the back of Sin City, when the truth of the matter was that Robert Rodriguez was too much of a devotee to the source material that he quit the DGA just to show his appreciation. It did not end well.I've seen bad movies but this is the first in a long time that I'm baffled by every aspect of. Why?
i loved it when i was a kid.I never met anyone that seen Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
I love the that movie due to the design. Reminded me of the 1940's Superman cartoons.I never met anyone that seen Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
I don't see that happening. Maybe they will let Marvel have full control on any possible spin offs. They still regret the massively dumb decision to sell off the merchandising rights to Spider-Man so I imagine they will hold on to the film rights for dear life.So what are the chances that Sony goes:
"Fuck it, we can't do anything with the SM license, lets sell it back to Marvel".
Or is this movie is going to be the first turd of many (offshoots).
I watched that movie multiple times as a youngster.I never met anyone that seen Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

You also watch wrestling
God no.
It'd be likelier Sony Pictures itself gets sold to Disney.So what are the chances that Sony goes:

Was Tom Hardy ever a great actor? I'm asking honestly here, I've never seen him be anything more than decent in anything. It's always seemed like he's adjacent to good actors and leeches off them.
nah, I haven't watched wrestling in years
He's experimental. It's the one aspect of him that is unique. He seems like he wants a franchise though. I was surprised to find out he was in Star Trek: Nemesis.Was Tom Hardy ever a great actor?

What kind of stories about Tom Hardy were there in Taboo?Hardy was excellent in Warrior and The Drop. Problem is Hardy is an actor who needs a strong director to really bring him in and shape his performances otherwise he has a tendency to go 'off reservation'.
Rubqqen Fleischer is an absolute flake of a director (he completely lost control of Gangster Squad with chatter than Sean Penn grew so sick of his fecklessness he ended up directed scenes himself) who was never up to the task to reigning in Hardy (stories of his behaviour on Taboo are near legend) who just ran amok.
Apparently Sony even went as far to send a production executive to the Atlanta set of Venom for the shoot to try and keep Hardy in check. No such luck. I have a feeling that the "turd in the wind" line is pure Hardy and wasn't anywhere near the shooting draft.
Hardy may have dropped out of Suicide Squad but, like the plot of Final Destination, you can run but you cannot hide from an awful CBM and now he has one all of his own.
I love the that movie due to the design. Reminded me of the 1940's Superman cartoons.
People are comparing it to Ghost Rider.
I think Suicide Squad's score is the benchmark to beat for Venom.
Those movies would be 90% CGI.Imagine if DC reimagined their cinematic universe set in an art deco style like that. Kinda like how B:TAS was designed.
Congratulations. Now you have.I never met anyone that seen Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
So 10% less than their current output.
You got me. But the DCEU is trying to feel like a real world. Adding an art deco filter would confuse people.

Real world to me is just a modern setting. I don't mean be super serious. Going all the way back to Justice Society era DC would be tough. Those are not versions of DC characters people are commonly exposed to.People riding sharks def feels like the real world to me, but I get what you mean.
Imagine a stylized 40s-50s era setting with crazy architecture and whatnot. They could even go back to golden age power sets, like a Superman who can only jump very high and has a tough time stopping a speeding train.
No. I'm with you. A train wreck of a movie can be more entertaining that mediocre slog.Is it bad if these Venom reports make me more excited to watch it?
A mediocre 5/10 will be way less entertaining than a flaming dumpster fire 3/10.
48 hours til my screening starts!
There's a limit though. I would say that BvS is a trainwreck, but that movie was an unentertaining slog.No. I'm with you. A train wreck of a movie can be more entertaining that mediocre slog.
