Hold on, who said I even *wanted* a Last Starfighter sequel no wait, I do.

Never mind me: “Last year Star Wars: Rogue One screenwriter Gary Whitta revealed that that he was developing a reboot of the classic 1984 sci-fi film The Last Starfighter. Well, the writer has confirmed that he’s still developing the project and that it would be a sequel.” A reboot would have been annoying; but a sequel? I can be down with that.

My only issue is that it’ll probably be dark and gritty. Of course, I thought that the original was dark and gritty, but that’s because we had different standards in 1984. I mean, this is pre-Dark Age territory. Weird to consider that The Dark Knight Returns didn’t actually come out until I was sixteen.

Warner Bros. Making a Space Invaders video game. …Come closer, Warner Bros.

From GeekTyrant: “Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema have started developing a Space Invaders sci-fi action film project that will be based on the classic 1978 arcade game from Taito. “

No, closer.

…NO. Bad movie company! BAD! No biscuit!

The third being: no Guy Ritchie. I’m sorry, but I like Guy Ritchie films. Apparently I’m currently fairly alone in this, judging from the box office from the Man From UNCLE and King Arthur flicks; but those were fun, dammit. And so were the Sherlock Holmes flicks. I am not entirely sure that the next one will be as fun.

Quote of the Day, Somebody Let The Suits Get At The Joker Script edition.

Hey, does this bit about the new Joker movie sound familiar, kids?

“We didn’t follow anything from the comic-books, which people are gonna be mad about. We just wrote our own version of where a guy like Joker might come from. That’s what was interesting to me. We’re not even doing Joker, but the story of becoming Joker. It’s about this man.”

The suspiciously extra Dora and the Lost City of Gold trailer.

There’s a part of me that suspects that Dora and the Lost City of Gold is really an elaborate prank. I can’t shake the thought that it can’t be real, right? I mean, Danny Trejo is voicing the monkey!
