    Speak for yourself. I'm really curious about this, because Batman has a "Batmobile" that seems to be based on a real production vehicle*, not some one-off custom production.

    I will neither confirm nor deny that I've spent many hours planning a real life Batmobile.

    *Adam West's '60s POS doesn't count, although it is probably the most realistic Batmobile we've ever seen.
    Argue with me if you disagree.

    Between this movie and the Flash movie with Michael Keaton reprising his version of Batman, I have no idea what DC is doing at this point.

    Maybe they're doing another stand-alone movie like they did with "Joker"?

    I could get behind that.
    Marvel is doing this whole "What if?" series; what if Batman had a lower net worth, and had to base the Batmobile off of a B-body Chevy Caprice?

    Some people are going to be very disappointed when they find out they've been saying "unchartered" all these years and it's wrong.

    Verhoeven hasn’t given a single fuck for fifty years. If his name is on it, it’s going to be no holds barred.

    Well, colour me excited. On one hand, I kind of don't like the use of the Toy Story character as a crib. I reckon it'll be something that could have stood on its own as an IP without humping the nostalgia, but whatever. I loved that trailer.

    Yeah, I'm excited too... it looks like a much more serious movie than I would have thought they'd do based on the Toy Story character.

    Straight to HBOmax, which seems right, and that is fine. I'll watch it.

    No fucking way that's a real trailer. BUT if it is, I've got two words: Rocky Balboa.

    What they should do is reboot Best of the Best, but I dunno what shape Eric Roberts is in.

    EDIT: let me take this opportunity, as I always do, to plug JCVD as an absolute must for anyone who's ever watched his movies unironically.

    Absolutely. I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched it, but it was awesome.

    It completely catches you off guard: not for everyone, but a really GOOD movie. I was expecting this fun action spoof, instead it was this very dark arthouse thriller where Van Damme basically self-flays himself for being an egotistical nightmare during the prime of his career.

    And like Arnie, imagine how many GOOD performances these guys could have gave in their native language instead of having to force laughable English all the time.. Arnie spoke German for two minutes in “Escape Plan” and some of the best acting he’s ever done.

    I am 100% confident this will be one of the worst movies ever made. So I will probably only watch it ten times because I love that kind of movie.
