Next up - Avengers opening weekend is going down.

It only took 24 days but whatever.
Can you imagine how much someone would have been mocked and dogpiled if they suggested that it would take JL almost a month to match the Avengers opening weekend? That'd be the most ridiculous prediction of all time

For some reason since the start I had it in my mind that this was a 2D animated film. That style looks great, however so I won't complain.

I've been waiting years for this movie, and we finally get to see the first glimpse of it.

And holy mother of all good things does this look much better than I could have ever anticipated. Damn, it just jumped to be one of my most anticipated movies.

I'm not so sure what to feel about the "multiple Spider-Men in one universe" as I've always preferred Spider-Man on his own, but I'm willing to give the idea a chance.

Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 starts filming in June 2018
New information given to us has revealed that cameras are expected to begin rolling this Junein Atlanta. Our assumption is that it could complete filming around October-December.

And here's the first poster for Ready Player One before Sunday's trailer:

Oh shit, new trailer hype. Heard mixed things about the book but Spielgawd returning to action blockbusters is exciting

The car chase we saw in the comic con trailer reminded me of those great setpieces he had in tin tin.

I'm curious - does it mute your excitement at all for a scene like that if it's not "real", like the characters are doing it in a game and can't be hurt? Because I think that's one of the biggest hurdles the movie is going to have to get over. That and the pop culture references and robot fucking.

If it holds on, we may have a week in the hundred thousand range where Thor beats Justice League.

Ready Player One looks like it's gonna be the most groan-worthy movie of 2018.

Tom Cruise is hiring that guy for the MI6 promo material as we speak.

lmaoooo. no more need for lifts when you can get that cgi leg extension tech instead.

just noticed Alan Silvestri's name on that poster. him reuniting with the DeLorean on film, I think there's a good chance we hear a small tease of the BTTF theme in this movie. should be sick.

Saw Orient Express earlier. Pretty good. Sound in my theater seemed on the wonky side so I missed some dialogue though.

Remember the 70s and 80s? Aka Ready Player One

I wonder how many of the rights did they clear for the movie
