Who would win in a fight? MMA rules.

It's official! Lady Gaga confirmed she's going to star alongside Joaquin Phoenix in the Joker sequel.

There will come a time when CGI can no longer hold movies together.
When sound was introduced in film, it was a powerful enough stimulant that it could be the lynchpin of a climax. Now sound is a total afterthought to the point that it's relegated to secondary stimulus, no longer relevant to the plot. All sound is just background noise.

If you watch the first episode of Game of Thrones season 1, there's interesting things they do with sound. Every character hears something which causes them to travel between two scenes. This feat is rarely achieved and sound is simply used for emotional effect rather than plot progression. This may have been due to the episode needing to introduce everyone, but it was still a pleasant change from the norm.

Many movies still have scenes dedicated to actors marveling at the cgi that appears in the subsequent shots or prior shots. This method of selling a cgi shot was heavily abused early on with the likes of Star Trek The Motion Picture, and it's still relied upon to this day. The shots are just much briefer in length, and it doubles for screen time in movies with absurd numbers of characters.

I don't know when cgi will become total background, but we seem to be in the phase of bombastic color saturation. Hopefully it's a last ditch effort at cgi marvel reliance and not just tranny pandering, referring to some space travel lights scenes in mcu movies, thor rainbow bridge, also fortnight and farcry map designs. There's even purple tranny bushes in WarThunder. If this day ever comes, we might actually see a return to story telling, the origin of distraction. They'll run out of flashy bullshit eventually, but this might be accelerated by audience progression. Mundane streaming shows are not a good sign of audience progression, but then again, these people are being saturated and might be forced to progress in their perceptive abilities.

What do you guys think? I'm totally open to being wrong and that we'll be stuck in capeshit tier cinema forever.

Genuinely a demonic movie.

Litty bros… will this make or break Dwayne Johnson's career?

Sylvester Stallone is speaking out against the new Rocky spin-off Drago, calling producers who have "exploited" the franchise he created "parasites."

The actor expressed his outrage in an Instagram post on Saturday, sharing a news article about the upcoming film and condemning those behind the production. While he did not address anyone by name, his reference to a "94-year-old producer" implies he is directing his comments at the producer of the series, Irwin Winkler. Though 91, he has come under fire from the Oscar-winning actor on several occasions. He also appears to reference his children, producers Charles and David Winkler.

"Another Heartbreaker… Just found this out… ONCE AGAIN , this PATHETIC 94 year old PRODUCER and HIS MORONIC USELESS VULTURE CHILDREN, Charles And David, are once again picking clean THE BONES of another wonderful character I created without even telling me," Stallone wrote.

He concluded with an apology to fans, noting it was not his intention for the characters to be "exploited."

"I APOLOGIZE to the FANS, I never wanted ROCKY characters to be exploited by these parasites."

Despite his opposition to the project, Stallone made it clear that he has no ill will towards actor Dolph Lundgren, who portrays Ivan Drago in Rocky IV and Creed II and is on board for the latest installment. But the 76-year-old shared he wishes Lundgren had informed him of the latest development.

"By the way, I have nothing but respect for Dolph but I wish HE had told me what was going on behind my back," he added. "Keep your REAL friends close."

Stallone has been vocal about his wish to overtake control over the franchise in the past. Earlier this month, he shared a post in which he called on Winkler to give him what was left of the rights.

>Armageddon 2: Moon Quacke
Bruce Willis returns for Armageddon 2 as Harry Stamper. Retired from Asteroid and Oil drilling, he hunts ducks. When strange disappearances begin taking place, he teams up with Duck Dynasty to seek the fabled Gorduck suspected of murders throughout the USA. Upon almost capturing it alive, it flees to the moon and begins planting explosives throughout a pre-planned underground tunnel system. Bruce Willis has to train the men of Duck Dynasty to become astronauts and moon rock drillers before any broken off chunks of moon can crash into Earth, by drilling holes and planting nukes into each one.
Will they find the gorduck on what's left of the moon? Will they have to search further? Will they devise a duck dynasty gorduck caller to lure him into the open? Will Bruce Willis form the Gorduck Dynasty?

Why could there be only one immortal?
If there could only be one and they were destined to kill each other, why were some of them friends who never tried to kill each other over the course of hundreds of years of knowing each other?
How come beheading them is the only way they can be killed?
If they can be killed by being beheaded can they really be considered immortal?
Why did they cast a Belgian as a Scotsman?
Why did they cast a Scotsman as a Spanish Egyptian?
Why did they cast Mr. Krabs as the bad guy?
If Sean Connery had killed Christopher Lambert at the beginning and absorbed his power, instead of training and mentoring him, would he have become strong enough to kill Mr. Krabs?

I shed a tear watching this. Good life lesson.
