Wonder Woman, Opening Weekend
How the ‘Wonder Woman’ box office gross compares to other superhero movies
“Wonder Woman” is getting a lot of praise after its opening weekend, and it deserves it. It’s given a much-needed boost to the DC Extended Universe, with reviews that are much better than those for 2016’s disappointing “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad.”
But it also performed well compared to other superhero films outside of the DC Universe. While the opening weekend domestic box office numbers (according to Box Office Mojo) didn’t surpass massive hits like “The Avengers” (2012), “The Dark Knight” (2008), or “Deadpool” (2016), the movie’s gross did beat “Captain America: The First Avenger” (2011), “Iron Man” (2008), both “Thor” movies, and even “Guardians of the Galaxy” (2014).
really happy to hear all the good reviews on Wonder Woman, and it looks like it had a helluva good opening weekend in the theaters… hell, was kinda surprised to see that it did better than Guardians of the Galaxy… not surprised to see it did better than both of the Thor movies, though.

Lebanon Bans Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman Has Been Banned in Lebanon Over Gal Gadot’s Casting
All screenings of Wonder Woman that were slated to take place in Lebanon have been canceled, following a decision made by the Lebanese government. The issue at hand, The Hollywood Reporter explains, is Israeli actress Gal Gadot’s casting in the film because of her previous service in the Israeli Defense Force.
well that’s a damn shame, though not really much of a surprise to anybody… hell, wouldn’t be surprised to see some headline stating that the entire middle east bans the movie and to be caught watching it is punishable by stoning or some shit.
speaking of Wonder Woman, a friend of mine told me yesterday that he read that early reviews on the movie are great and that some are saying that it’s the best DC movie since the Dark Knight.
The Wonder Woman Movie Is Even Better Than You Hoped It Would Be
PS. still think i’ll just wait for it to hit redbox.
Hacksaw Ridge
being that it was Memorial Day, i finally got around to watching “Hacksaw Ridge” last night… been meaning to, since i’ve heard nothing but great things about it, but never really got around to it for some reason.
everybody was right.
that movie was awesome! holy shit man.
almost hard to believe that’s a true story… and after watching it, i’d have to say that’s one of the bravest damn guys i’ve ever seen a movie about — even more so when you consider he never fires a single bullet in the middle of some of serious warzone shit.
unbelievable.
Honestly Logan
Honest Trailers – Logan (Feat. Deadpool)
i love these honest trailers… so good…
that reminds me, really need to pickup / order me a copy of ‘Logan’ on bluray… i’m a lot more picky about the movies i buy these days, but Logan is definitely worth buying IMO.
PS. wonder if they’ll release a B+W version though? hmmm…
Alien Covenant, You Going?
speaking of movies, anybody planning on going to go see Alien Covenant this weekend? i’m still on the fence… none of my friends, or my son, really seem to have any interest in seeing it in the theater, so i’ll probably just wait for it to come out on bluray.
i might go see Guardians Vol.2 again tomorrow though… buddy asked if i wanted to go re-see it again in 3D with some peeps, and that sounds good to me since i wouldn’t mind seeing Guardians again :)
anwho, if you do go see the new Alien movie, lemme know what ya thought of it k?

Wonder Woman’s First Reactions
The First Reactions for Wonder Woman Are Spectacular
The release of Wonder Woman is just a few short weeks away and DC’s latest film is currently screening for the media. Full reviews are still under embargo—but tonight, Warner Bros. allowed non-spoiler reactions on social media, and they were almost overwhelmingly positive.
“#WonderWoman is hands down the best DCEU Film to date! Film is SO GOOD. I absolutely loved it! Bravo
@elmayimbe
i’m pretty stoked to hear that the first reactions to the movie are so positive… lots of people and lots of tweets about how good the movie is, which is fucking great! been really hoping they finally did a good job on at least one of these DC movies… was flipping through the channels a few nights back and ended up watching most of “The Black Knight” again since it’s been quite awhile, and holy shit — really puts it into stark perspective, y’know?
PS. i love the opening theme song…

One Sequel Alien
Alien Only Ever Needed One Sequel
No one argues that Alien and Aliens are the best films in the Alien franchise. It’s an objective, undisputed fact. After that, though, nothing is certain—is Alien 3 a good movie? How bad is Resurrection? Do the Alien vs. Predator movies count? Did you like Prometheus? The debates go on and on.
They’ll continue this week, too, with the release of Alien: Covenant. Reviews (except ours) have been mostly positive but almost universal in their claims that the film goes a bit too far in explaining the wonderful mystery of the vicious alien who first scared the crap out of us in 1979.
I believe that’s true, but I also believe we’d all be better off if things had never gotten this far. The Alien franchise should have stopped at Aliens. One original film, one sequel. Yes, Sigourney Weaver appeared in the next two; yes, Ridley Scott directed the last two. But those first two films represent the near-perfect marriage of original and sequel into a cohesive, amazing story. There was never a need to see what happened next. The only desire was to make more money.
yup, the debates on this one seem to go on and on forever… but it’s always a fun one… personally, i totally agree — really didn’t need any more after “Aliens”, which is my personal favorite out of them all to be honest.
Superman’s Mom Thinks Justice League Sucks
Superman’s Mom Hates to Be Honest, But Justice League Is Worse Than Avengers
Looks like Superman’s mom doesn’t think he’s the most special boy in all the world, or at least shes’s not that impressed with his superpowered friends. When asked whether the Justice League movie will blow Marvel’s The Avengers out of the water, Diana Lane simply said: “No.”
In an appearance on Watch What Happens with Andy Cohen Live, Lane was asked by a viewer whether she could spoil any secrets about the upcoming superhero crossover, as well as whether Justice League will be better than The Avengers, which continues in 2018 with Infinity War.
“No and no,” Lane replied. “Short but honest. I hate to disappoint.”
Lane, who plays Superman’s mom Martha Kent, joins a growing list of Man of Steel actors who’ve poured salt on the wound that is the DCEU— barring Wonder Woman, which we hope is the shining light in a sea of meh. Laurence Fishburne (who played Perry White in Man of Steel) previously admitted that Marvel is kicking DC’s ass, and Amy Adams (Lois Lane) seemingly brushed off the fact that she was in the upcoming film last year.
damn man, not much of a ringing endorsement… feel like everybody and their dog pretty much thinks it all kinda sucks, which makes you wonder what the hell the movie studios and directors are doing / thinking? i mean, they have to know the response has been near universally bad.
like, really bad.
Blade Runner 2049
Blade Runner 2049’s official trailer is just as mysterious as it needs to be
i’ll be damned, but it actually looks like it just might be pretty good..! definitely has the same look and feel of Blade Runner, so at the very least it looks like they nailed it… and i absolutely love the music in the trailer — so badass.
PS. i guess Deckard wasn’t a replicant then?!
The Covenant Really Sucks
‘Alien: Covenant’ May Be the Biggest Disappointment of the Summer
Here’s a sentence I’m just incredibly sad to type: Alien: Covenant is bad.
It’s not terrible. Director Ridley Scott didn’t make some kind of hugely annoying, incoherent movie or anything like that. There are a few pockets of enjoyment in what unfolds on screen and watching it is semi-pleasant. But after the credits roll, mulling over everything you just saw, the film continues to sour like milk left out in the sun. It was good for a little bit, but not for long, and that’s just not good enough for a franchise with this history. Continue…
didn’t include anymore since it borders on “spoiler” territory, in a general kinda way… but damn, looks more and more like the internets are really disappointed in this new Alien movie… maybe even more so than with Prometheus, which i didn’t think was possible.

‘Star Wars’: TBS To Air First Six Movies On May 4

one of my friends sent me a pic of her at work, sitting at her desk dressed in all white and her hair up in those famous princess leia hair buns on the side of her head.
gotta luv it :)
The Dark Tower Trailer
All the Secrets Unlocked by the Dark Tower Trailer
i know this might sound like blasphemy to a select few, but i never read the Dark Tower series… and on top of that, was never really into Stephen King’s books either, to be perfectly frank… that being said, the trailer for the movie looks cool and i’m sure it’ll end up being worth watching up on the big screen — anything with Idris Elba is usually pretty good in my book.
PS. some peeps seem suuuuuper excited by this trailer.
Doritos Awesome Mix
New Doritos Promo Bag Plays the ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ Soundtrack
Ahead of its anticipated 5 May premiere, Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is teaming up with Doritos for a special promotion: a limited edition chips bag featuring a built-in cassette deck that will play the movie’s complete soundtrack.
Fans will be able to plug into the retro-looking cassette deck’s headphone jack while enjoying their snacks and recharge it for repeat listening. The 14-track album features a wide range of ‘60s and ‘70s pop, R&B, country and rock tunes.
Some of the songs are ‘Flash Light’ by the Parliament, ‘The Chain’ by Fleetwood Mac, ‘Fox on the Run’ by Sweet and ‘Surrender’ by Cheap Trick.
oh man, how fucking awesome is that?!
went ahead and looked it up on amazon, and not really surprised to find that it’s unavilable… guess they already sold out.
damnit
PS. can’t wait to see it this friday!
Ridley Scott: Aliens Are Real!
Ridley Scott Thinks Aliens Are Real and They’ll Probably Kill Us
“An expert I was talking to at NASA said to me, ‘Have you ever looked in the sky at night? You mean to tell me we are it?’ That’s ridiculous,” Scott said, adding that he thinks there are at least 100 to 200 similar species out there right now.
However, Scott doesn’t think they’d be waving the white flag of peace right away. While many of us would like to believe there are Vulcans circling the galaxy waiting for Zephran Cochrane to invent warp drive, Scott thinks any aliens we encounter would probably try to blow our brains out— at least if we provoked them. So, it’d definitely be more of an Independence Day-type situation. Let’s hope Will Smith’s character can come back from the dead.
“When you see a big thing in the sky, run for it. Because they are a lot smarter than we are, and if you are stupid enough to challenge them you will be taken out in three seconds,” Scott said.
an age old question, to be sure… but i fully expect that if some aliens actually came to our little backwater planet, they probably wouldn’t have the best of intentions and we’d get our collective asses kicked… on the flipside, if they’re truly advanced and benevolent then i figure they’d have some kind of Star Trek style “prime directive” and would lay low, observe but not interfere.
…but that’s just me.
More Deadpool Sex?
The Deadpool Movie Could’ve Had a Lot More Sex in It
One of the most memorable moments in Deadpool is unquestionably the “Sex Every Holiday” montage between Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) and Vanessa Carlisle (Monica Baccarin). While it had plenty of special themed boning, spanning the length of an entire year, turns out it there was a lot more sex we didn’t get to see.
In an interview with Conan O’Brien, Baccarin revealed that there were a lot of holiday sex scenes they shot over the course of two days (although she and Reynolds previously said it was one day of filming), but a lot of them didn’t end up in the film.“We ended up leaving just a lot on the cutting room floor, because there are a lot of holidays,” Baccarin said. “And I feel good about that—the part that was left out. I literally mean that [was] enough sex. Like nobody needs to see more than what was in the movie.”
The film version features Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween, Lent, Chinese New Year, and, of course, International Women’s Day. But there are so many other holidays that could use their own horizontal hustle tributes: Flag Day. Star Wars Day/May the Fourth. Maybe get a little National Dress Up Like Your Pet Day action— that could’ve turned out some appropriately kinky shi for Deadpool.
the holiday sex scenes in deadpool were pretty awesome… but i guess this just means they have some leftovers for Deadpool 2 for us to look forward to.
Summer Movie Preview: 37 Movies to Watch Out For

Prologue: Prometheus
Watch Elizabeth Shaw Return in a Short Film Linking Prometheus and Alien: Covenant
What happened after Prometheus? How does that lead into Alien: Covenant? We won’t know for sure until the new film opens on May 19 but a new short film gives us a pretty good idea.
For Alien Day, Fox just dropped this official Alien: Covenant prologue short called The Crossing, which stars both Prometheus survivors David (Michael Fassbender) and Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace).
So this explains why David is back together in Alien Covenant and confirms that he and Shaw reach the Engineers’ planet. However, where the short cuts off if very intriguing. David is standing above the population of the Engineer planet with a bunch of those evil canisters from Prometheus. What is he going to do?
holy… shit…
i’ve had very little interest in the new alien movie after watching the trailer for it awhile back, since it just looked like another version of the same movie we’ve already had and seen… group of dipshits humans land on planet, find an alien shit, stick head in a fucking alien pod thing that opens up… aliens start running around and killing everybody… rinse and repeat a few years later… know what i mean?
i could go on and on about Prometheus, but the one lasting thing from that movie that had me curious and interested, was the little cliffhanger at the end with david & elizabeth going to the homeplanet of the engineers — now THAT is the story i’ve been waiting for!
this little teaser should be a trailer for the new movie, instead of whatever this short clip is… though seriously, talk about a “tease”. fuckers.
