The trailer is amazing, already seen it with the trailers from comic-con. Lets hope that is not one of those cases that the trailer is better then the movie, but since it is a marvel studios film, I think not.
The movie appears to have a 80s vibe, but it may be do to the synt music in the trailer.

I'm watching a German drama from 2016.

Terror aka The Verdict.(that is the title on Danish TV)

Story Line

A German fighter pilot is accused of having killed 164 civilians when he fired an air to air missile against an airliner, Airbus 320. The Airbus 320 had been hijacked by terrorist and this terrorist had planned to crash the plane on a filled football stadium.

It's a you-decide-the-verdict-type of drama.

Saw it last year on German TV. Not too bad an effort it was. Left many idealists and ideologists as well fuming.

Yet again, another rant. The reviews for the Dark Tower are even worse than I expected. Not only did they make a horrible adaption of Stephen King's magnum opus, but they made a crappy movie as well. ARRG.

If anybody sees this, and is a fan of the books, please post a review.

In todays world of extended universes and multi movie projects, how could they produce this 90 minute travesty? 2 of the main characters aren't even listed as being cast!

If they had stuck to his works, this would have been at least 3 movies. And perhaps a mini series in between to cover the whole book that was a flashback. Or I could understand skipping that one altogether.

Ugggghhhh.... so disappointed.

I think I have read some where that they are going for a tv series adaptation also. It could bring a good adaptation to the book.

That was back when either JJ or Ron Howard was running it. It was supposed to be 3 movies with a mini series in bewteen. Just looking at the trailers I know they skipped over so much material , that there is little possibility of expanding it beyond a second movie. And nothing against Idris or Matthew, but Hugh Laurie (House) would have been the perfect Roland. Matthew would have made a great Eddie, and Idris could have been the man in Black, he suits that role so well, especially from watching him in the Wire and Luther. Of course though, it'd be racially cliche to cast him in that role, or at least some would say.

about "Bright".
So it is about racism, but so that no one can protest, so that no one is racist or that racism is alive and kicking, instead of portraying the real thing they use orcs and elves. Great.

One of the advantages of living in Hollywood is the movie studios making grand publicity stunts in order to hype their latest films. In the forty plus years I've lived here, I have seen a wide range of stunts, some actually inspired, some cringe worthy, and some begging for a WTH. Last year, there was a full size X-Wing fighter on exhibit in the middle of Hollywood Blvd. as a tie in to the latest Star Wars episode. Earlier this month, a crew from New Line Cinema began erecting a structure on a parking lot at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, with no indication of the nature of the project. At first it appeared to be a film set, a not too uncommon sight in Los Angeles, but it evolved into something more elaborate:

Inside the terrifying 'It' house that's popped up in Hollywood --

https://www.timeout.com/los-angeles/...llywood-081417

The 'It' house just sort of opened. with no noticeable fanfare, so most people are just stumbling across it unawares, adding to the creepiness of the house; at night, the house is even creepier looking. The studio has hired actors to assume the role of the little boy in the yellow raincoat and they roam around the house, red balloons in hand, staying in the character of "George". While waiting to go into the house, the "George"s interact with the visitors, in character, explaining what the house is and posing with the seven person visitor groups for pictures. It is very interesting to watch the reactions of the visitors as they wait to go in and see the build up of tension as they try to anticipate what may be behind and inside the front door...

I have been by the site several times and have yet to see "IT" outside the building...
