The Comic Books and Comic Book movies thread

Having had pretty much zero exposure to the character before... what's the deal with the teddy bear?

Dude understood that the helmet HAS TO STAY ON. A weekly show could really work. If you ever read 2000AD, it was mostly one off stories anyway. I mean, if they want to go with a big bad season wise, that's fine and well too. Just keep it smart and subtext filled like Dredd always was. When I was bingeing on SyFy's BLOOD DRIVE this weekend I realized that the show 'works' because they embrace the cheap. And wallow in it. Sad thing is, they kept showing commercials for their other programs...and it all looked just as bad/cheap, just not intentionally. So yeah, I have zero hope for Krypton, and will call this D.O.A. if SyFy picks it up.

SyFy is the Orphy of TV stations. It's cheap and tacky, but sometimes amusing for a while, haha. :cheers:

I only saw the first EP of Blood Drive, and maybe I was in a pissy mood. Oh, and I was sober for once, but I thought it was beyond bad that I didn't even bother with the rest of season. *shrugs*

As for Dredd. Really, at this point, I wish we just had one more movie if only to see this guy...

Give Blood Drive another chance...I was mollered up pretty heavy yesterday afternoon and breezed through a few episodes laughing out loud. If you try to watch it sober, it just doesn't work.

Is that an Orphan Black reference?

Sorry, just a Canadian slang term I heard a long time ago, ie: Liquored up, pissed, ****ed up

That is why I found it so out of character for you.
I have always understood the term "Moellered Up" to be a reference to THIS which was often referenced on the sports radio 'Jim Rome Show' in the late 90s. The slang employed about his fans were that they were 'clones' because they just repeated his thoughts to try and get airtime on his show.
To your credit, I thought it was odd that you referenced that. Though I bet a bunch of us LGK dorks used to listen to that sweet jungle nonsense 'back in the day'
 
Deadpool 2's Cable has a teddy bear for a cool reason
http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/deadpool/news/a835056/deadpool-2-cable-teddy-bear-reason/

However, the teddy bear could be a nod to the character's past in the comic books where he is the son of X-Men's Cyclops, taken into the future as a baby after being infected with a virus that leads to his cyborg arm. So, in this instance, Cable's teddy could just be something he's held onto as a reminder of his past.

Another possible Easter egg is that the teddy hints at a new character entering the X-Men cinematic universe in the form of Hope Summers, whose surrogate father in the comics is none other than Cable, who doubles as her bodyguard.

And if that's the case, we could even be seeing Hope in X-Men: Dark Phoenix as – in the comics – she's connected to the Phoenix Force, which will be explored in the Jean Grey solo movie.

I don't drink (much or often), and I love Blood Drive. I am stupid, though, so maybe that's why.

I like that it doesn't take itself seriously at all, except in its embrace of decades of often cheap, and even more often terrible, movies and shows.

I will also confess that I am a few episodes behind; and that means something for this show, because it could go right off a cliff without warning.
 
Stuntwoman Killed in Deadpool 2 Motorcycle Crash Identified as Joi 'SJ' Harris, First African-American Female Road Racer

James Gunn's FB post nails it

Yesterday a stunt person, S.J. Harris, lost her life on the set of the Deadpool sequel. My heart goes out to her friends and family and the crew whose lives she influenced. Making films - especially doing stunt work - can be dangerous, and every day I'm on set I live with the fear of losing someone through an accident. I do everything I can to make my sets as safe as possible, but I've still had crew members who have almost died on set.
This loss reminds me how I believe the work of stunt people in our industry should be more routinely honored. Few things irk me more than when I hear an actor claim he does all of his own stunts, as it's almost always a lie. I don't know a single American actor/action star about whom this is true - and there are a few, including one very prominent star, who, although they may do much more stunt work than the average actor, they're lying through their teeth when they say they do all of it. Screw them and everyone else who tries to take the credit from our stunt people who work their asses off and put their lives on the line every day to help create magic onscreen.
