Going back to the theater?

[Insidious Von]

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes opened with $57 million domestically with an additional $129 globally. Watched it Sunday night, it ranks with Rise and Dawn and it's superior to War. Freya Allan had the thankless role as the human Mae, Owen Teage (Noah), Kevin Durand (Proximus Caesar) and Peter Macon (Raka the Orangutan) were all excellent.

Francis Ford Coppola must have one more irrefutable beauty left before he shuttles off and joins the choir invisible. He's got a great cast of character actors to work with. Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Frings - Breaking Bad) as the Mayor of NYC.

ATJ has lost her baby fat.

 

[Insidious Von]

Has George Miller snatched gold from dross, some have predicted that Furiosa would bomb. I don't see that, not with Anya Taylor Joy and Tom Burke in the film.

No disrespect to Chris Hemsworth intended, Tom Burke can match ATJ talent wise. Mank sucked ass but Burke was awesome as Orson Welles.

I knew it, I bought into the hype reversing my previous call that the film would bomb. Two items worked against George Miller, he left it too late. Whatever momentum that Fury Road generated was evaporated by having to wait almost a decade for a follow up. As much as I love AJoy, the film should not have been called A Mad Max Saga, that's way too Twilight for fans of the genre. You can't make a Mad Max film without Mad Max.

Supposedly George Miller is shooting Mad Max: The Wasteland which will premiere next summer. The fate of that film will depend on The Bike Riders making more money than Furiosa.

Saw it last night.
It's disappointing.

I like a lot of what he did, but it doesn't come together properly so it falls flat.

The film isn't as cohesive as I expected. I love Anya Taylor Joy but she's not physical enough for the role. Charlize Theron is taller than Tom Hardy.

Speaking of which, Mrs Chen looks fantastic! Hardy wanted an R rating for his contractual obligation. If he doesn't get it, the film will bomb. Tom Hardy co-wrote the screenplay.

 

[Insidious Von]

NotADoctor is a Mrs Chen fan, he'll like the new Venom trailer.

On the flipide, Netflix knows how to squeeze out turds. Is there anyone more annoying than JLow, she must resent not being cast as Ripley, so she plagiarized the character. In her next film she plays Niki Lauden...her massive ego doesn't match her threadbare talent. Why would Simu Liu take part in this garbage.

 

[Insidious Von]

What's the world coming to, is nothing sacred.

The reality is The Rock took a horrible beating from Ken Shamrock. The end of which The Rock was taken out on a stretcher. Ironically Shamrock was fired for working stiff, the beating The Rock took effectively launched his WWE career.

NotADoctor is a Mrs Chen fan, he'll like the new Venom trailer.

She looked better in the dressed down store clerk way than the dolled up way, but then that's my preference in general.

And holy crap, how did you remember that.

 

[Insidious Von]

And holy crap, how did you remember that.

You have to know these things when you're a king.

Put a chick in it and make her gay!...Kathleen Kennedy.

They didn't go far enough, at the very least they didn't make the mistake of Star Trek. ST: Discovery introduced a gay character and picked the shallowest most self-obsessed actor to play him, time for Kevin Spacey's purgatory to end. Let the box-office decide his fate.

 

[NotADcotor]

You have to know these things when you're a king.

One does not need to be wise in the ways of science or a professor of logic to know that it is good to be king.

 

[Insidious Von]

Yes, it's good to be a King...especially if you get to eat Samara Weaving.

Ms Weaving goes to Hell. The movie is called Azrael, he was the Christian vigilante who kills Batman.

 

[Insidious Von]

Emma Roberts wants a career beyond American Horror Story.

 

[Insidious Von]

Portuguese women are super-hot, tasty and prefer not to shower alone.

Portugesh reviewer, she calls herself Snarky Jay - Buxom Jay is more appropriate. If I spent the night with her, I'd need to wear a Tom Hardy mask.

 

[Insidious Von]

The world has gone crazy, JK Simmons goes from Vern Shillinger to Santa Claus on the USA Thanksgiving long weekend. Red One, Chris Evans and Rocco are along for the sleigh ride.

 

[Insidious Von]

JK Simmons is pushing 70.

 

[Insidious Von]

Is Canadian Mia Goth going far beyond Jamie Lee Curtis? She was in Lars von Triers's Nymphomaniac and now the completion of the xXx horror trilogy.

Katheryn Hahn is awful.

 

[Insidious Von]

The Mightiest of all Actors is in the money. His latest is an independent project called Longlegs, the film grossed $23 million.

The film cost $10 million to make. Here he is with his co-star Maika Monroe.

 

[Insidious Von]

Maika Monroe plays an autistic FBI Agent?! Why haven't I heard of her before? The Mighty One took on this project for the work and the potential profit sharing. He's not Lamont, he no dummy.
