PN's reactions from Marvel/Disney's latest Reveals and Trailer Drops.

-

There was an amount  of Phase Five news from D23's presentation one in particular,  was official plans for an upcoming Thunderbolts movie based on the comics where villains, antiheroes and heroes work together for US government oversight.  Kinda like DC's Suicide Squad.  Take it for what you will.

The roster includes Julia Louis-Dreyfuss as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine  Wyatt Russell  John Walker slash US Agent, (Wyatt Russel of Falcon and the Winter Soldier)  The Ghost, ( Hannah John-Kamen)  ,Taskmaster played Olga Kurylenko  from 2020's Black Widow along with David Harbour's Red Guardian.Also, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes and Florence Pugh as Yelena, who is the field leader like Captain America was to the Avengers.

 
Opinion: Sounds ok, but I'm on the fence about this. Bucky or even Baron Zemo should have led the team or at least it should be a joint leadership between Yelena and Bucky, that would start an interesting dynamic. Natasha Romanoff would have been great as the leader, since she's capable of having leadership qualities, but unfortunately she's fucking dead!
Yelena is a great character but leader? No. That decision is as questionable as Logan leading the X-Men. Not feeling it.

And don't get me started on Taskmaster! The MCU version was utilized as a cheap plot device, that failed to deliver. We need the brash arrogant Tony Masters with cape, that's right I said it! Perez's OG look, is still a look! From what I gather,shooting begins next year, so we'll see what transpires.


Werewolf by Night

Not too much is known from this upcoming Disney Plus series aside from being based on the 70s Marvel Comic, however after watching the B&W trailer that pays homage to the classic Universal Monsters films of old, I'm feeling a bit optimistic when I saw a few familiar faces from the footage.  One could be Blade, there's  also Bloodstone, but the biggest reveal that put a smile to my face, was a split second shot of the Man-Thing, one of my favorite Monster heroes from Marvel. Hopefully,  this will lead to him having his own feature film as he so deserves it after the highly disappointing 2005 film.

Werewolf by Night, arrives this October 8th only on Disney Plus.

Secret Invasion Trailer

Samuel L. Jackson is back as Nicholas J.Fury along with a few familiars like Talos played by Ben Mendelssohn, Cobie Summers as Diana Hill, and Don Chedale as James Rhodes aka War Machine.  The plot involves the shape-shifting Skrulls, who  have infiltrated all aspects of life on Earth, which could range from civilians, politicians and who knows, maybe even Superheroes! Secret Invasion is slated for 2023 on Disney Plus.

This may be what's need to balance out most of the Shows and films from Marvel's disappointing Phase four, and with the fifth making their way into the mainstream, we can only wait to see if the Marvel cinematic universe, can be saved.

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

-

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice: Freefall (Review and retrospective of the series finale.)

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
