- Carrie-Anne and Keanu look like a formidable challenge to the Barden Bellas in Pitch Perfect 4. -- nm - Max Aug 20, 13:30 1
  - where is THAT movie? -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 13:31
- Sure, why not. Most people hate the sequels, so why not just keep going if you want. (I love them, myself.) -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 13:21 12
  - So you're the other one. I loved them too. -- nm - Uncle Six Aug 20, 14:02
  - I loved 2, 3 was huh? -- nm - mud Aug 20, 13:23 10
    - Two was so disappointing, on the scale of "Phantom Menace" disappointing -- nm - amoxy Aug 20, 13:56 2
      - i never even saw three, i was so 'whatever' about #2. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 13:56 1
        
        Yup -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 14:12
    - agreed -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 13:55
    - Agreed. And 4 could redeem it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:27 5
      - I'm there. but will it happen? -- nm - mud Aug 20, 13:28 4
        
        Keanu stock is rather high, so possibly. Would feel better if it had already been written, but I will remain hopeful. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:29 3
        
        My script would be about a group of evil folks from Zion who conspire to rewrite the code to create their own Matrix. -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 13:52 2

        Maybe their goal is to trap The One and his zealots inside it. -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 13:56
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige won’t produce any further Spider-Man films because of an inability by Disney and Sony Pictures to reach co-deal. -- (link) - budice Aug 20, 13:14 36
- The '900 characters' thing made my head hurt a little. -- nm - Diva Aug 20, 13:33
- it comes back to fucking Tom Rothman who hated the X-men franchise at Fox when Singer was first doing them -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 13:33 5
  - Iger will eat him for breakfast. This ends in one of two ways. Either they come to terms or Sony is dismantled. - Mop Aug 20, 13:42 4
    - Kim and I were just wondering if Sony's trying to get Disney to buy them. - David Aug 20, 13:42 3
      - I can't see Sony Corps selling that off the movie division -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 13:52
      - They could always pull a stock swap. But because of regulatory concerns, I really see this as a buy-and-dump move. - Mop Aug 20, 13:47 1
        
        That's certainly a plausible resolution. Sony may want to focus on core businesses and just get out of movies. -- nm - David Aug 20, 13:48
- *dusts off my manual on how to take over Sony and break it up between Disney, Samsung, Apple, and/or Microsoft* -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 13:30
- This seems to include Spidey exiting the MCU -- nm - budice Aug 20, 13:26 23
  - Good luck with that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:27 22
    - yup he's gone -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 13:30 21
      - SMFFH wrote them into quite a corner, then. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 20, 13:40 20
        
        Yeah, they probably should have locked him down before making him the new leader of The Avengers. - David Aug 20, 13:41 19
        
        Spidey died on the way back to his home planet. -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 13:48
        
        Next MCU film: "Huh. It looks like Tony's snap may have created multiple universes. Too bad Parker didn't survive in this one." -- nm - TWuG Aug 20, 13:46 5
        
        "Dr Richards has a team working on exploring this theory and will be launching a mission soon...." - TWuG Aug 20, 14:03
        
        Even easier. SMFFH spoils - Spawn Aug 20, 13:48 2
        
        Spoilers - David Aug 20, 13:49 1
        
        He is getting the worst of both worlds. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:54
        
        To Marvel's credit, it's above that sort of nonsense. And that's why it has earned the full trust of consumers. -- nm - David Aug 20, 13:47
        
        Hmm..let's see, a 3rd Spidey flick in the MCU clears what - $1.25-1.5 Billion? nm - Uncle Six Aug 20, 13:45 8
        
        Well, Venom's box office shows that they could still make that money without Disney. - David Aug 20, 13:46
        
        And it is more than that. Disney can roll right on ahead without him. Wouldn't miss a beat. WTF does Sony think they can do? -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:46 6
        
        That's true...it's a well established fact that Spidey needs the MCU more than the MCU needs him. nm - Uncle Six Aug 20, 13:51 5
        
        Yeah, for Marvel he was a part of the phase that just ended. For Spidey, it is 95% of his world. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:56 4
        
        nah. For Spidey he has a whole wide world they can use. it CLEARLY would be better with Feige working on it... - Remlik Aug 20, 13:57 3
        
        Him going back to nothing more than your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man would be a huge letdown to fans. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 14:02 2
        
        Not for me. I prefer him on his own than with a group -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 14:14 1
        
        I could have bet money on this post. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 14:20
        
        No, that movie clears the way for him to sort of disappear from the real MCU (a bump, sure, but easy). SM on the other hand losing his world? No way - Spawn Aug 20, 13:45 1
        
        (And I just got what you meant. Indeed) -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:45
        
        IM: aye -- nm - mud Aug 20, 13:43
- Well, there's an epic mistake that reeks of ingratitude. -- nm - David Aug 20, 13:25 1
  - What? SMFFH is only their highest grossing movie of all time. It's not like they have a lot of skin in the game. -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 13:30
- Of course. Sony gets it's biggest movie ever, then this. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:19 1
  - Marvel fans want Disney to buy Sony Pics -- nm - budice Aug 20, 13:21

- I’ve seen this at Target/Best Buy. I am questioning if it’s good for an the XBOX One X. -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 12:56 2
  - We use these TVs for our conference rooms at work. They're very solid. I don't see why you'd have any trouble with an XONE -- nm - oblique Aug 20, 12:56 1
    - Seems great then. I might do it. Even though I totally 100% don’t need it. -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 13:01
- Thanks! -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 12:41
