I don’t see that I replied to this thread and want to make sure Dredd is represented here

Nailed it three times.

Nailed it that Netflix gave HBO a run for its money.

Nailed it that The Witcher was damn good (the season one plot line isolated to Cavil's character and the bard).

Nailed it that The Witcher was horrible (season one of the other two plot lines, and all of subsequent seasons).

It is like getting the correct answer on a math test that was multiple choice but you didn't show your work.

So disappointed! I really wanted to see David Dunn using his powers and embracing being a super hero. We got none of that. And he dies in a puddle? Seriously?!

James McAvoy was fantastic though
 
Some more info on The Goonies sequel. Apparently Daisey Ridley and Elijah Wood are involved with the project…

I'm surprised Spielberg is directing

After the Ready Player One debacle I'm not as optimistic as I would be but we'll see

There is no actual sourcing on any of this.

Yesterday's report about a potential sequel came from The Sun, which is literally just a tabloid that makes sheet up, and the additional info comes from a random X account. That poster is obviously fake.

We have to have better media literacy about this stuff.

As a general rule of thumb, no information is "real" about movies until it has been reported by one of the major industry trades (Variety, Hollywood Reporter, or Deadline), When they report something, it is accurate and vetted because they are getting the info directly from the studios. If this project were far enough in development that posters were being made, it would have been reported on numerous times by these publications.

There used to be a lot of accurate insiders and leakers who would get good info about stuff early in development and it would pan out. The studios have compromised most of these people and flooded them with bad info. Even people like Jeff Sneider who used to be pretty reliable seem to miss more than they hit these days. He just had a major failure this past week when he ran with an "insider" report that almost everything they had done for Beyond the Spider-Verse had been dumped and they had restarted from scratch, then Chris Miller (executive producer) came out and said that wasn't true at all.

But even at that, I promise you if Spielberg was circling a Goonies sequel, there would be better sourcing on it than an anonymous report from The Sun and some random 80's toy social media account.

If the sources are tabloids and random social media accounts, do not trust them. If the sources are weird arse websites with articles that feel like they were written by AI and lots of columns promising that Kathleen Kennedy totally got beat up by Dave Filoni and Bob Iger fired her and had her arrested, do not trust them. If the sources are any of the Fandom Menace (Doomcock/Overlord DVD for one) types of YouTube, do not trust them.

Excellent post
 
One of my favorite movies of all time is Predator. To me it's an absolute masterpiece in the genre. John McTiernan is underrated. In his prime he was one of the best storytellers out there. Obviously Predator is a franchise with a few good sequels. I love Predator 2 and Predators was solid. Prey was fantastic.

But I feel like there was a missed opportunity to explore the events after Predator and what happened to Dutch (Arnold). I think this was Arnie's best role and it would've been cool to see him tracking Preds and facing off with them again. In the comics his brother is a cop in NYC and the Preds search him out. That would've been interesting. Pretty much Predator 2 but with Dutch and his brother.

This is more of a do over though. Not a missing sequel.

In Predators, the Lawrence Fishburne character was originally written to be Dutch, but it didn't work out so they rewrote it.

Speaking of aaahnold, I'm mad we never got a Conan 3 or King Conan movie
