Star Wars has become wonderful for finding out who the A-holes are. It does not matter at all if you like TLJ or not, but how you interact online with people who have a different opinion on a movie says a lot.

3P0 with a gun and the Jarjar/Fish hybrid thing both signal a fake to me. (I hope)

Age of Voltron staring the Avengers would be a crossover for the ages.

The years between the Hobbit and LoTR consisted of him searching for Bilbo and the shire / then getting captured by Orcs and being tortured until he gave up what he knew about the ring. I don't believe at any point in his long history was he ever considered any sort of a fighter. He was always a poor fisherman and a thief. I think it even says in The Hobbit that the goblins he would kill in the tunnels were weak and lost... and even then he had the advantage of sneaking up from behind while he was invisible.

Isn't Gollum's history that he hid in the depths of a mountain for hundreds of years eating fish and catching an occasional stray goblin and eating them. Unless they drastically change his history I'm not sure what kind of game that will be.

At this point if you think MS cares if you buy their hardware then you aren't paying attention.

This won't be the last. People see this as a new market and several will attempt to jump in. You know facebook will try something.

Oh yea. I see what you mean. They are already putting out 2-4 super hero movies a year. With DC putting out the same amount I doubt that they can possibly up that output much. There will eventually be an over-saturation point. No one wants a new superhero movie coming out every week (it already feels that way at times).

With so much focus on game streaming it will be interesting to see the support VR gets in the next couple of years.

You don't think they are putting out xmen and F4 movies?

Video can also be buffered much more easily than a video game. A movie never changes so it can be continuously buffered. Games are constantly changing... are you going to look up next or down, are you going to shoot him or will he shoot you etc. I'll bet there are some very smart people that have figured out ways to buffer that to some point but it is definitely more tricky than a static video. Streaming is the future but we are at the very beginning. No doubt the next couple of years will have a few bumps.

Next phases may be some spin on Secret Wars...? Have to introduce the X-men and F4 and Dr Doom.

The first SS squad movie wasn't self contained. It had Batman in it. I also don't see how the new one will be self contained since Margot is going to be playing Harley in another movie (with poison ivy). The Joaquin Phoenix movie can be it's own thing, but having the same actors playing the same roles in different movies but saying they are unrelated is going to confuse the heck out of people.

Right. When watching Suicide Squad staring Margot Robbie, you should put Suicide Squad staring Margot Robbie completely out of your mind.

Exactly. This is more along the lines of bringing Christian Bale back as Batman... but in a new universe where those other batman movies didn't happen. I'm not dogging the movie I think it could be good. Just may be confusing. If this is going to be a comedy they should probably go the Deadpool route and just address the absurdity of it in the script.

Total reboot with some of the same actors, some of the same characters but with different actors. No doubt this will be a better movie but it will certainly be confusing.

I don't normally put much personal info on here but I have found 'most' people on this board are good and caring. My dad just who is about Trebeks age got sent home yesterday and will be receiving at home hospice care. He also has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. My dad isn't going to beat it. I hope that Trebek will.

My kids are white boys and they loved the spiderverse movie... And will probably love captain marvel. Also if some freak is turned around the whole movie staring at my kids we are probably going to have words.

Maybe. But I think soon there won't be platforms. If the next gen starts in 2020 and lasts 5 years it might be the last gen of traditional hardware upgrades.

She likes comedy and I like crime/thrillers

How about a romcom. Kidding. Something not horror. I'll probably watch with the wife and she isn't in for scary movies.

If it makes you feel better I have never seen the three movies you listed. Most of the movies I see are of the popcorn variety. I usually read for intellectual stimulation. But I am not against deep movies. Give me an assignment... I'll watch something you suggest this weekend. I'm going to be snowed in anyway.

I think is mostly theory at this point but my guess is that what you are saying will happen initially... but people can't pay for 25 streaming services. In the end I think only 2 or 3 will survive and publishers will have their games available to the survivors. I think we will see this play out eventually with TV/Movies. Right now everyone is setting up their own streaming service - but no way they all still exist in 5 years. The cost to attract and then to keep customers is super high. If you want to have people keep paying monthly fee's then you have to have constant fresh high quality content. In my opinion.

I have seen and like Mud. Might need to look at some of the rest of those. I would probably like to see more independent movies... but there is so much out there these days and everyone has limited time.

toughen up snowflake. (this was a joke... don't want to actually offend you.)
