Can we have more live action reinterpretations rather than remakes? I liked Maleficent, and even if you don't, at least it wasn't the exact same thing again.
They won't unfortunately, because Disney is too lazy most of the time. They're all about being "safe, and family friendly", or being "24/7" with the majority of their Marvel properties. I still like Marvel properties, but I am taking a break from them right now. There's nothing interesting I want to see.

Who the fuck even has any nostalgia for Pinocchio...
Pinocchio is iconic and Tom Hanks will sell it. I'm no fan of the rabid remakes of late, but this one is a no-brainer. Were I you, I'd save the vitriol for any of the countless other remakes of old films because this one will likely be one of the less offensive ones.

Depp vs Heard verdict is in!

TL;DR
The jury found Amber is guilty of defamation, and she must pay $15M. She was also awarded $2M in her coutner claim


Calm and collected class act like there was never even a trial hanging over him. Apparently Heard’s team will try to appeal, even in the face of overwhelming support for Depp. Most people can see right through her act, and she needs her two-faced bs thrown back in her face.

"Class act" is not a term I'd use to describe a guy who called one of his exes a "withering c*nt".

Did this parenting advice also include giving kids weed, letting them date 18-year-olds and not telling your fans to back off when they harass your daughter?

He’s got his own issues I’m sure, but I was referring to this specific public interaction.


According to Lauren Whittington, the restaurant's general manager, Johnny's visit to the pub on June 1 was a complete surprise.

"He didn't seem nervous at all," Lauren exclusively shared with E! News. "He just seemed to want to interact with people and not talk about the case, which was completely understandable."

The actor took pictures with fans, shook hands with workers and even shared some parenting advice with Lauren, who is expecting a child later this year.

"When I got a photo with Johnny, he asked me how far along I was," Lauren recalled. "He said it'll be the most magical thing I ever do and that I won't know love until I look at her for the first time. He spoke about his children and was telling me how proud he is to be a father."

Lauren continued, "It was really nice to think that this will be a story I'll always be able to tell my daughter! I told him he was going to make me cry with his words, and he gave me a big hug."

Johnny is a dad to Lily-Rose Depp, 23, and Jack Depp, 20, who he shares with ex Vanessa Paradis. And while his kids may be all grown up, Johnny warned Lauren that the first few weeks will be the "craziest" of her life.

"He said that the no sleep becomes sort of a high, that diaper changes won't make me half as sick as I think they will and to enjoy every moment," Lauren added.

According to her, Johnny didn't mention his trial until he was leaving and shared that he needed to take a zoom call.



I wonder what A. Heard would’ve done in a similar situation at that time.

I'm sure Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein had their nice moments too.

The #meToo moment lasted a bit longer than I was expecting, TBH, was expecting it to get buried earlier.

Its weird to think the civil rights movement probably would have failed if social media existed.

I just don't understand why we can't have a proper RE live-action adaptation without being an einstein project.

Hell, I think those old FMV cutscenes from old RE games are better than this

Zack Snyder sure knows how to pick em, doesn't he. Okay, that's a little unfair. Most of his casting choices for the DCEU turned out decent. But still funny that two of his castings would go on to force WB to drastically rethink two of their biggest upcoming movies.

That said, while I do expect a lot less of Heard in the movie when it comes out, that article sounds pretty BS. Having Mera die in childbirth instead of just recasting her sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Aren’t DC movies generally known for being disasters more or less as it is though?
