“What we’re doing on Gray Man that’s different [is]… we’re not gonna answer every question in the first movie,” explained Joe Russo. “This is being conceived as a series of films, and again, potentially branching out, we could follow other characters, but we’re not gonna answer every question in the movie. So you’re gonna finish the movie, [and] have a complete story, but you’re still gonna have questions about the wider universe. And I think that’s one way to break the model a little bit, is to not give the audience everything in one film. Don’t have a close-ended narrative. Have an open-ended narrative that’s [like] a chapter in a book.”
Congratulations to the Russos on discovering sequels, something they apparently think has never existed before?

What I’ve always loved about the MCU movies is that the first few films (IRON MAN, INCREDIBLE HULK, THOR) were created to stand alone as self-contained stories, the only links being those mid- and post-credit scenes that hinted at a larger shared universe and story. If you never saw IRON MAN or INCREDIBLE HULK, you were still able to enjoy THOR. It wasn’t until the first CAPTAIN AMERICA film and THE AVENGERS that you started seeing threads and characters and themes (the Tesseract, for one) that began tying all the films together; by then Marvel knew they had a built-in audience that would come out to see each film, so they had more confidence in world-building without having to explain things over and over again.
Too many other film franchises assume that the movie audience is willing to accept part of a story that, by itself, makes very little sense, but that’s an arrogant assumption, even for the Russo Brothers.

So, if someone was to watch that movie would there be some toplessness, or more?
Nope, for that, you need to wait for the Extra Crispy version.

The Black List 2020 Scorecard: Scripts By Agency & Management Company

WARNING: It’s a link to the Sun website, so don’t click if you don’t want to give Big Rupe your clicks, but the audio is clearly Tom Cruise. As a producer on the movie, it’ll cost him big if production has to be shut down again, but he’s not wrong that it will also cost a lot of people their livelihood if that happens.

I agree with his point 100%, not sure it really needs all the sweary histrionics.
I get the point fairly quickly that he’s going to fire anyone who breaks the rules again.

I’m certain it wasn’t (his words infer it isn’t the first time) but in any workplace I’m not a fan of people screaming and swearing at staff. The threat of termination for failing to follow instructions is enough.

That’s very true. It did seem like the tone was calming down toward the end.
Actually, this is a reason I’m actually more in favor of the more corporate business style that is taking over entertainment production. Though it will affect the quality for a time in some instances – we’ve really seen a rise in creativity in television shows which have always been much more corporate and straightforward when compared to movie production. However, I think the introduction of more corporate business practices has been useful in preventing abuse and harassment on sets and studio offices. I believe it is part of the reason Harvey Weinstein and others could no longer flagrantly get away with the same behavior they had all through the 90’s.
A lot of people are going to resist it – particularly directors, but often, except in a few cases, the director is usually the most replaceable position on any production. Just looking at that video, obviously Tom Cruise, not the director, is in charge of that movie.

Exactly. I’ve looked at workplaces where that kind of aggressive culture was the norm, tabloid newspapers being one and they generally have a toxic culture and a lot of very poor standards. We see it in Hollywood and lets’s be honest that’s been pretty badly exposed in the last few years for being a shitshow of harrassment and coercion.
I briefly had a boss who liked an approach of shouting and swearing, I left an unpleasant environment and he was sacked a year later for promoting a girl he was having a secret affair with. The shouting to me tended to make staff freeze up and make more mistakes.
Sometimes people are shit at their jobs and need to go, and that’s true if these guys keep flouting the Covid regulations on set, but I think you can do it all without the aggression and drama.

Well, he is an actor, so a little bit of drama isn’t exactly unexpected.
I don’t disagree, but I am glad that he’s putting such an emphasis on keeping to the covid rules. The argument he’s making is actually also pretty clear, and he keeps talking about the consequences and why this is important (in contrast to the Bale thing, who is getting extremely personal and humiliating the guy actively).
But yeah. Could’ve done with less of the aggresion.

Honestly, if it’s a choice between blowing up on set and termination, I would just fire the offenders. I think that would get the message across much more effectively. I actually think it is likely those guys did not make it through the day anyway.

Script for Stan Lee biopic, Excelsior! makes this year’s Black List.
I still maintain you could make a great Mad Men-style TV series about Marvel based on Sean Howe’s “Marvel Comics: The Untold Story.” In an ideal world it would last 4 seasons, with each season concentrating on a single decade, 60s to 90s. (I have little interest in a season 5.)

You could always replace him with Christopher Plummer, but he kinda looks like Max von Sydow anyway.

“This is an issue that we’re currently planning to explore more through research next year, speaking to the public to check that they’re happy with the way we’re classifying such films and the way we classify issues of discrimination more generally.” Well, okay, I guess.
It’s one thing I like about the modern BBFC, they are very transparent and a lot of what they do is surveying the public on what they think should fit into what category. If tastes change and say a swear word is deemed more or less offensive over time they’ll shift it up or down the age categories.
The version when I was growing up was very much ‘this is what we think the public should consume’.

If anything, isn’t it better to have him played by a non-Asian, to make it obvious that the character is not actually Asian? Otherwise you’re just doubling-down on the negative Asian stereotype.
Assuming that Earth is the only planet that has an Asia is SO racist…

I first thought it was Clerks with hallucinogens used instead of weed.
p.s. The Little Things does look good but I find it cynically amusing that it comes out 1 month and a few days after WW84. “hey guys i know you all bought Hbomax for a month to see WW84 but why don’t you stick around for another month and watch The Little Things”

This is where Warners are lacking a global strategy really. Netflix and Amazon have pretty much completed theirs, Disney Plus is rolling one out gradually. HBO Max doesn’t really seem to have a plan.
I was listening to the Pilot TV podcast and they thought Warners was actually a better brand than HBO as they’ve never had a channel there but I’m not so sure. I think plenty of people know the HBO brand from the ident at the start of their shows even if they are carried on other stations and it has a reputation for quality.

My Top 10 Movies of 2020:
- Wolfwalkers
- Nomadland
- The Nest
- First Cow
- Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
- Minari
- Education (any of the Small Axe movies really)
- Soul
- Tenet
- Bad Education
Not a great year, obviously, but still some great movies in there.

My top 10 is a pretty safe list. I no particular order:
Tenet – Top shelf time shenanigans with John David Washington the sex-god.
Hamilton – I might not love America, but I love musicals, dancing and history.
Wolfwalkers – I could’ve watched this with sound off and it still would’ve made the list.
Da 5 Bloods – Flawed? Yes. Still really worthwile? Fuck yes.
Borat 2 – Some of these gags are beyond what was done in the first one. Overall not as great though.
Soul – The animation, the character design, the music. All 11/10.
Extra Ordinary – I think this is the most irish thing I’ve seen since Father Ted. Do not miss!
Emma – I only saw this to try out my local cinema and it’s probably the biggest surprise of the year for me.
Trial of the Chicago 7 – Unfamiliar with the historical background but still entertained (and horrified). I want more of the serious Sacha Baron Cohen.
Bill and Ted Face The Music – I can’t believe I forgot this one. It was nowhere near the previous two movies but it was still, firmly, Bill and Ted.
edit: Removed King of Staten Island, inserted Bill and ted.

2020 must be the only year in my life that I haven’t watched a new movie.
I think 2021 could be the same unless I crack and get one of the streaming services.
Or become radicalised and decide on the pirate’s life. Yarr!

Amazon and Netflix are notorious for this – I have no idea why. I started watching the trailer for “I’m Your Woman,” another Amazon film, and stopped half way through because it was clear they were giving away major plot points.
I’m not surprised Amazon does this. If anything, a detailed description on any item they have for sale will increase sales on it as compared with an item that leaves it to mystery and suspense.

💥 👊 💥 👊 💥 👊
Gadot will star in HEART OF STONE, an international espionage thriller written by THE OLD GUARD's Greg Rucka and directed by Tom Harper.

Rucka spy thriller is promising, and I liked HArper’s Wild Rose a lot (though that’s probably not going to be anything like this movie).

Yeah, sounds good. With Rucka becoming a hot Hollywood commodity, hopefully the Lazarus adaptation will get a push at some point, I want to see that book adapted!
