Also not familiar with the plot and felt like the trailer had too big a giveaway there, but agreed, good to hear there’s more to it. Movie looks like a lot of fun.

There are at least three MAJOR twists not hinted here.

NicePool from “Deadpool and Wolverine” is coded after Blake Lively’s co-star from “It Ends with Us”, Justin Baldoni. At least, that is the connection made by Baldoni’s lawyers in court pleadings to support Baldoni’s defamation suit against Lively that have, to date, mostly been recycled into toilet paper by the judge.
For those unfamiliar, Lively complained about Baldoni’s behavior on the set of their movie, which she claimed rose to the level of sexual harassment. She alleges that he showed her naked photos of his wife, pushed her to do scenes naked and would “improvise” make out moments between the characters during takes.
Now Lively alleges that Team Baldoni engaged in an effort to torch Lively’s reputation in order to undermine her credibility in this matter; putting it all in writing in emails with the PR firm tasked with the hit job which Team Lively now has. So now Team Lively is suing Baldoni while Baldoni’s own lawsuit sits on a roll in the public restroom.
So, is Baldoni right to make the connection to Nice Pool beyond the very obvious physical resemblance created by Ryan Reynolds? If you recall, Nice Pool is used by DeadPool as a human shield and, as a result, is obliterated by the twin Uzis wielded by LadyPool - played by Blake Lively - and is the only iteration of Deadpool without regenerative powers.
So he put himself between Reynolds and Lively, and got blasted to such an extreme extent that there’s no recovery for him. So, yeah, I think it’s real. And hilarious.

That’s a hell of a Streisand effect. I would never have made that connection.
Me neither. But now it’s a matter of record before the court. Crazy.
Not sure which is harder to look at: DogPool or PeterPool in his too snug red suit.

Hollywood is intellectually bankrupt. All they do these days is suck the marrow out of any existing IP and then turn to unnecessary remakes. I’m not interested in any of that sh…
Holy fuck!

Is this a documentary?
Mr. Anderson has been collecting (archiving) the objects from his films for his entire post-bottle rocket career. I think there has been at least 1 gallery show of his work.
I was delighted that they used the actual works in the film. Didn’t see that coming.
How much do you think “boy with apple” is going to sell for?
Not yet, but soon.
Every time I see more stupidity from MTG, I think of Frances McDormand’ character in the Coen Bros’ 2008 film - Burn After Reading. Great flick, though it feels like we are living in an alternate universe where itnis now a documetary.
My wife and I happened upon it and streamed it during the pandemic. Couldn’t believe it was made in 2008 - initially thought it was a parody of MTG.
Update on my Sony sound system: it is excellent.
I have always paid up for Sony TVs because, for all the wow numbers that other manufacturers throw at you, it doesn’t mean shit if the image processing is crap. Sony’s image processing has always been top notch.
Same now for sound processing with the Bravia Theater Quad. I have no benchmark for Atmos and other fancy new algorithms, all I can say is that stuff sounds amazing. What is really blowing my mind is 2.0 stuff.
For example: the soccer today was fed to me in 2.0 (I checked), but the Sony 360 sound mapping technology split out the crowd noise and fed it to the rear and overhead speakers. I was truly enveloped in a sound bubble, made by processing a basic stereo signal.
Highly recommended.

The official name for Dune part 3 has been announced and it’s … erm … Dune: Part 3.
As a result, social media has had a good time coming up with better titles. My favorite so far is “My Own Private Duncan Idaho”.
I offered “The Atreides Who Went Up a Freman and Came Down a Kwisatz Haderach”.
Feel free to join in.
