Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) – A Film Maker On Trial

fenrisfil — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 17:54:18 +0000

I didn’t intend to review or write about this movie (Largely because it came out in October, my horror month). However, I’ve heard so much nonsense about this film that I felt an article is needed. To do that means spoilers. So only read beyond this opening is you’ve watched the movie or don’t intend …

Healing The Doctor: How To Fix Doctor Who

fenrisfil — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 16:59:18 +0000

Doctor Who is like a nice car, originally advanced and ahead of its time, then it became a cool and desirable classic, more fun than useful, but now its a rusting pile of unserviceable junk just waiting to be scrapped because its owners didn’t look after it. This is a sad situation for perhaps the …

The 2023 Box Office Breakdown

fenrisfil — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 12:48:18 +0000

When looking at the box office, in past years I’ve used a more accurate spreadsheet that takes into account the slight variation in percentage of ticket sales that goes to the studio for the opening week and global territories.

Terminator – The Skynet Trilogy (Pitch) – Part 3.

fenrisfil — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 11:36:10 +0000

The final part of my Skynet Trilogy, Terminator movie pitch. This is effectively the movie everyone wanted to see after the original film. Even after T2, the only thing that truly drove up interest was the idea of seeing the dark future and John Connor in action. So finally, we are here. But this is the "Revenge of the Sith" of the trilogy, it has to create the link between my trilogy and the original movie. Fortunately that'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

And yes, I totally used Norman Reedus as the older John Connor in the concept art.

James Gunn DCU – Analysis

fenrisfil — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 15:49:42 +0000

So James Gunn has finally dropped the plans for the DC movies going forwards and it was a bit of a mixed bag and frankly overall somewhat disappointing. Not that I’m going to join the Snyder fans or Henry Cavill fanclub in calling it DOA before a single trailer or even casting decision. But my …
