All Things Star Wars

Hey yall! It certainly has been a long time. Just wanted to talk about some upcoming Star Wars related topics. So without further ado, let's get into it.

1st, and what I'm super pumped about is EU Grand Admiral Thrawn coming to Star Wars Rebels!! So, so pumped about this. For those of you who know me and my blog, you know I'm a huge EU fan. And Thrawn is one of the coolest villains out there. The fact they're actually adding him to Star Wars Rebels is just so awesome. And what's even better, yes there is more! Timothy Zahn (the original creator of Thrawn and not to mention the best Star Wars author) is writing a new book in the new universe about Thrawn!!!

2nd, How amazing does Rogue One look?! Honestly, I'm more excited for Rogue One than I was for Force Awakens. Maybe it's just because it's like a solo film in best part of the timeline for the Star Wars universe, but I don't know. Seeing those AT-ATs again is just amazing. Not to mention all the cool new stuff like the Death Troopers (who are technically Shadow Troopers from EU). And some other new stuff that doesn't really fit. Like the new U-Wing? Umm... it wasn't in A New Hope which in the timeline is only shortly after Rogue One. So hopefully they'll explain what happened to those ships as well as the TIE Striker? I can't remember the name if that's not it. As well as that awesome looking tank the Empire has. Although I do really love the creativity in Rogue One! Something The Force Awakened really lacked in...

Let's just take a moment and look at Episode 7 and it's lack of creativity, shall we? Okay. X-Wings that look a little different. TIE Fighters that have the colors swapped... The First Order's transports look like submarines. Kylo Ren's shuttle looks pretty awesome still, and it's definitely different. So that was cool. Don't even get me started on the Resistance "Transport" ship that Leia arrives in... Then we have Starkiller base which is just a bigger Death Star. The Finalizer (Star Destroyer)... eh... okay so that made it look slightly different, but I can't complain too much. I've always been a huge fan of Star Destroyers. Not to mention the recycled plot from a New Hope. All in all, The Force Awakens was kind of disappointing. Really hoping to see some improvements in Episode 8, although I see they're bringing in the A-Wing. So I already have low hopes. But Rogue One looks amazing.

Also if Episode 8 or 9 doesn't have a big awesome space battle with capital ships, I'm going to be very upset.

Anyway, back to the third thing... 3rd, Oh seems like that was it!

Well there is something else. George Lucas really destroyed Return of the Jedi... Let's go back shall we? Aside from the pretty awesome story and the awesome space battle and still one of the coolest lightsaber duels. We've got little stupid furballs defeating the best trained soldiers in the galaxy. Come on George.... We know they can't aim...for some reason, but to have teddy bears with rocks beat them?? Then THEN he goes and kills off one of the coolest and biggest fan favorite villains - Boba Fett. THIS is what I love the EU so much. Boba kills the Sarlacc and escapes it and then once again becomes a threat to Han, Luke, Chewy, Leia, etc..

While we're talking about the EU. Other than Thrawn, another big person they need to add to some movie is Mara Jade! Like she's got to be one of the coolest Sith/Jedi ever. So for those of you who don't know Mara. Let me tell you how awesome she is. When we first meet her in the books, she's the Emperor's Hand - a Sith. Later she meets Luke Skywalker. She turns to the light side and becomes a Jedi, marries Luke, and has a son named BEN Skywalker. (Another thing The Force Awakens stole).

Sorry about the rant.

#HanShotFirst  

J.J. Abrams Is A Genius If....

So after seeing how many spoilers there are in other trailers, it made me really appreciate the Star Wars trailers. Although, if the movie sucks.... it's kind of pointless...

That is all. Short post. Yes I know.

Do or do not, there is no try ~ Yoda

Star Wars Episode 7: Trailer

Hey everyone, okay so I've always been a huge Star Wars fan and always will be, but why aren't they using the Expanded Universe?? Ugh, that just annoys me. All those awesome books they wrote in case anyone decided to make more movies and they just ignore them.

Anyway, so I know this is titled "Trailer", but we'll get to that.

So the "New Star Wars Universe" book, Aftermath came out a few months ago and it was... awful. At first I compared it to the good Star Wars books, you know the EU? Yeah, okay, so I thought that might be bad taste. So I decided to look at it as a new reader to Star Wars and I was still disappointed.

Aftermath was worse than awful, it was boring. A boring Star Wars book is not good.

What could have made it better?

Well, lets see. How about characters we actually care about?? People were excited to read this book for one purpose - to figure out what's happening between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. And nothing was told. Yes, sure some little things were mentioned, but nothing substantial.

I don't suggest reading the book. Instead read Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. It's epic.

Anyway onto the current trailer for The Force Awakens.

So... okay. I'm going to be honest, I was disappointed with the trailer. It was just a glorified teaser. If we are honest with ourselves, everyone will agree with me on this. The trailer told us nothing new. We already knew Rey was a scavenger, Finn a troubled stormtrooper, Poe an x-wing pilot who gets captured, Ren a bad guy who's obsessed with Vader, Starkiller Base is on a snow planet like Hoth, Jakku is basically a cooler version of Tatooine, That other planet that looks like a mix between Endor and Yavin, and that other one that resembles Sullust.

Seriously with the planets? Can't they think of something different than snow, forest, and sand?

So still no one knows even a little about the plot and no one knows who all the characters are (granted I understand their reasoning behind not revealing a few last names - that's fine, but who is Max Von Sydow playing?)

Every other Star Wars Trailer was epic and it didn't change the way I wanted to see them. I wanted to see them all no matter how much they revealed.

Things I wish the trailer had: (Other than the things I named above)

Space Battles. All the battles with the fighters were over the land. Yeah, it looked cool, but please J.J. have a Space Battle. It's called STAR WARS for a reason.

So I'm just speculating here, but I think Finn isn't the Jedi in this movie. The part at the end of the trailer where he just looks scared to death by Ren doesn't appear very Jedi like. Fear leads to the dark side. My guess is and has always been, Rey is the Jedi and the daughter of either Leia or Luke.

Since J.J. has already said this trilogy will continue the Skywalker family, one of those kids (Rey, Finn, Poe, or Kylo) is a Skywalker.

Alright, so I know all you "die hard" Star Wars fans of the NEW movie are going to hate me, but whatever. It had to be said.

Anyway. Leave your hateful comments below or your nice ones. Take your pick. Enjoy.

CGI Getting Out Of Hand?

Hey everyone, so I've been hearing disturbing rumors that film companies are thinking about bringing people back to life via CGI. Yes, you read that right. So if you miss Elvis, prepare to not miss him much longer.

So at first, I was like, alright that's kind of cool. But now, I feel like it's wrong, just wrong.

Here's why:

1st. Wouldn't this hurt the current stars of Hollywood? Parts they would usually get are going to dead stars. I have a feeling they won't be too happy about this.

2nd. What if the movie was awful? It would hurt the great long passed star's reputation. Imagine if they cast CGI version of Patrick Swayze as Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern? Or John Wayne cast as The Lone Ranger in The Lone Ranger movie. That would kill their reputation.

3rd. It's just wrong. I can't explain the reasons why, but it's just wrong. Something about bringing a dead person to life using CGI isn't morally right. It's one thing to bring Paul Walker and Philip Seymour Hoffman back as CGI to finish their current movie, but to bring someone completely back. I don't know about you, but I don't like that idea.

Leave your thoughts below, tell me your reaction to hearing this.

Everything Wrong With The Harry Potter Movies: Part 1

Hey there, if you read the Harry Potter books before watching the movies as I did, you know exactly where I'm going with this article. If you're on of those people who will kill anyone who trashes the Harry Potter movies, listen up - this article is for you.

The Harry Potter movies weren't horrible, actually they were quiet good. Though, there were some things they could have done a bit more accurately, but chose not too and that was a big mistake on their parts. For those of you who didn't read the books, let me explain what you're missing out on by only watching the movies.

First off, the first book.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

What they left out: 

PEEVES!!! Why did they not have Peeves the Poltergeist in ANY of the movies??? Dumbest decision ever! Who is Peeves, you ask? Well, he's probably one of the best trouble makers in all the books! He dropped water balloons, ink bottles, dungbombs, and other things at passing by students. Filch hated him too, because he always had to clean up after him - he was always making a mess, you see. What else, well, he drove Professor Umbridge up a wall and he fought in the Battle of Hogwarts - he defended the school valiantly. He would often sing - mainly mock, he would call Harry Potter - Potty.

The Potion Challenge - a.k.a. Snape's Challenge. Remember when the three heroes had to go though all those challenges to reach the Sorcerer's Stone? Well, they skipped a challenge - actually two. Hagrid's Fluffy, Sprout's Devil's Snare, Flitwick's flying keys, Dumbledore's Mirror, McGonagall's chess set, but they left out two. Snape's potion challenge and Quirrell's troll. The troll was previously knocked out, but Snape's challenge was probably one of the most interesting. It was a riddle - several potion bottles - one would grant them safe passage across a fire and the others would poison them. Luckily Harry had Heromine with him, because she figured it all out in her head.

What they changed:

The snake at the zoo is supposed to be a Boa Constrictor not a Python.

Dudley and Petunia are supposed to be blonde.

Harry first meets Draco in Diagon Alley.

Harry returns home after picking up his school supplies with Hagrid. Also the Dursleys pick up and drop off Harry every year.

Harry sees his parents and extended family in the Mirror of Erised.

Neville has detention with Harry, Draco, and Heromine - Ron wasn't there.

Harry and Heromine give Norbert (the dragon) to Charlie Weasley (actually the smuggle him out). Which lands them in detention.

Harry receives his broomstick in secret, because he's the Gryffindor secret weapon.

A few other things that wouldn't matter, to be honest the first movie was pretty close to the book.

As goes for the second.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

What they left out:

Peeves - again...

The Deathday Party - the anniversary of Nearly Headless Nick's death. Harry, Ron, and Heromine attend the party to show their support for their house ghost. But soon regretted it. The food is spoiled, the music is scratchy, and everyone there was a ghost.

Professor Binns - The ghost professor. He died at his desk, but didn't realize it so he kept on teaching as a ghost. He teaches History of Magic. Also he is the teacher that explains The Chamber of Secrets.

What they changed:

Harry was locked in his room with bars on his window for weeks - not just one day.
Harry, Ron, and Fang are carried by spiders and are taken to Aragog - they didn't follow a trail.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Now this is where they started to mess up really bad.

What they left out:

Explaining the Marauders!!! - You know the map, Fred and George give Harry? Yeah, well the map was created by the Marauders - which are Remus Lupin (Moony - a werewolf), James Potter (Prongs - an animagi which turned into a buck/stag/deer), Sirius Black (Padfoot - an animagi which turned into the grim or big black dog), and Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail - an animagi which turned into the rat). Animagi are people who can turn into an animal and the three did this in order to keep Lupin safe when he would transform into a werewolf.

Ron and Heromine's Arguments. - Remember in the movie when Hagrid gives Scabbers to Ron and Heromine is all like, "I think you owe someone an apology!" Well, if you never read the book you were probably like, "Why is she so angry? Scabbers was only missing for like part of the movie." - Well this is the real story... Scabbers went missing, Ron blamed Crookshanks. Heromine defended her cat. And thus Ron and Heromine didn't speak to each other for about half of the book. So when they find Scabbers, it's a big deal - because well, you'd have to read the book.

Harry's Crush on Cho. - If you watched the fourth movie and were like, who's this random Cho girl. You were probably not alone. Cho is the seeker for the Ravenclaw team. Harry and Cho faced each other in a game (also not shown), and he developed his crush on her.

Sirius and Crookshanks - Crookshanks helped Sirius into the castle when he was in his dog form.

What they changed: 

Harry does NOT use his wand and use the spell Lumos while reading a magic book while at the Dursley's house - that would be called Underage Wizardry, which he could once again be kicked out of Hogwarts for. Instead Harry used a flashlight.

Harry gets his Firebolt right after his Nimbus 2000 breaks from Sirius, but they don't know that, but McGonagall has her suspicions and confiscates it.

Buckbeak isn't the only hippogriff. There are dozens of them.

Well, that's all I've got for you right now. Part 2 will have books 4 and 5. And Part 3 will have 6 and 7. There are many more wrongs in those books and so those will be longer blog articles. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed! Comment below! 

What I Didn't Like About Star Wars Battlefront Beta

Hey, everyone. Hope you're enjoying your Sunday. I know this article is coming a little late, but I decided to write it after I noticed no one else complaining about what I'm going to complain about.

So let's begin: (Some of these complaints may only be because it's a beta and truth be told, a beta is not a demo as many believe.)

#1. The unlimited additional weapons. Now, I'm hoping this was only made for the beta. But the unlimited grenades and additional perks seemed stupid to me. I don't want the game to be super easy, I want it to be a challenge. They should limit the grenades to two and each of the additional perks to one each or allow a custom player creation like Call of Duty. (This is actually what I think they're going to do with the real game, and they're just letting everyone get a taste of the game. Which brings us to number 2.)

#2. The random power ups around the map. As I said before, this is hopefully just a thing for the beta so everyone can try out all the game has to offer. I'd much rather have the hero be a like a kill streak reward, I'd rather be allowed to enter into vehicles at will, and the other additional weapons and perks be kill streak awards as well.

#3. I want spawn points. I don't want randomly appear behind some random dude, I want command points. If I wanted to play Call of Duty, I'd play Call of Duty. (Unless it's customization!)

This has nothing to do with the Battlefront Beta, but has everything to do with EA.

EA is charging $50 for their expansion pack. $50!!! That's like an entire game. Which it better be. I'm not spending $50 for a few weapons, skins, and one map. There better be like multiple maps, weapons, skins, and game modes in there. 

Well, that's all I had to say. Comment below, let me know if you had any complaints about the beta or if you liked the things I complained about. 

Too Much CGI?

So movie companies have been CGIing everything recently. It started out as okay, because I mean the world has gotten better with their computer graphics and stuff, but now it's getting ridiculous.

So for Fast and the Furious 7, they are going to CGI the late Paul Walker's face and voice onto his brother, Cody Walker's body. I don't know about you, but that's just weird. So if they can CGI people onto other people. So are they going to bring back Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne too? Are we going to start seeing dead actors in movies again? Who'll get the credit for the parts...they're descendants? It may look natural when they do it, but it's just strange to me.

What do you think of all the CGI? Tell me what you think in the comments below.

Indiana Jones Going James Bond?

So in a recent article I read it sounds like they are going to do what James Bond does with Indiana Jones. Meaning they are going to continue the franchise with different actors. Personally, I do not have a problem with this. Harrison Ford is way too old to do anymore and lets face it, he isn't exactly a big name star anymore either.

So who do they want to play Indiana? Well, a number of actors, but at the top of their list is...Bradley Cooper. Yep, he is a great choice. He can play a comedic actor like in the Hangover movies and the A-Team and he can play a more serious role like in Limitless and American Hustle. He would be a great pick and I hope he does get the role.

I'm not sure who the other actors they're considering, but I will update you when I learn something.

Most Overrated Actors And Actreses

First off, The Action Heroes. You know who I'm talking about, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Milla Jovovich, etc..

Movies that would have been so much better if they cast a different person...

Everything that Keanu Reeves is in. The Matrix would have been so much cooler if Will Smith had taken the part.

Everything that Ron Perlman is in. He is the worst actor ever. He's so horrible. He literally ruins movies. Hellboy and the unwanted sequel. Season of the Witch. Blade 2. Drive. In the Name of the King.

Angelina Jolie is a horrible actress. She plays the same part in every single movie. People make fun of Kristen Stewart for her one facial expression...just watch a Angelina Jolie movie, she never changes her expression. She doesn't even look like a woman anymore, her face is like bubbly or squashed or something.

And talk about an actor who is EXACTLY the same in every single movie....George Clooney. No matter what he is in...He is George Clooney. Horrible actor. When he played batman, he was George Clooney. You may ask what is George Clooney...He is a corny one liner actor. ONLY thing I like him in was Oceans Eleven. Not twelve and not thirteen.

Then there are some actors who got better as they got older like Dwayne Johnson, Paul Walker, Kevin Costner, etc..

More Indiana Jones Coming Soon??

Well, it is just a rumor... Harrison Ford is in talks for two more Indiana Jones movies, hopefully they're better than the last one...

They'd better hurry up and make these movies, Ford is like 70. I just can't wait to see him hobbling around on a cane while using his whip.

Why is is this happening? Mainly because Ford told Disney that he will only do Star Wars Episode VII if they continue Indiana Jones. That's why. I guess this kind of confirms him being in Star Wars? I guess...

So previously they mentioned plots like searching for the cross of Christ, searching for Excalibur, Noah's Ark, and some other stuff. Just as long as it's not about aliens with a plot that makes absolutely no sense, I'll watch it.

As soon as I find out more, I'll update, until then....Re-watch The Indiana Jones trilogy, skip the second one and don't even bother with the new one.

Star Wars to Begin Filming in May

That's right, folks, the waiting is almost over! Well, at least until the movie comes out. But this will make everyone happy until at least the trailer or screenshot gets released.

So it will be filming soon, so what does that mean. It means they have FINALLY finished the casting. Yes, that means the cast will FINALLY be revealed. No more rumors about who's gonna be in it and who won't be in it, we will now have the actual cast.

Just for fun, let me list all the rumored actors and actresses for this movie.

First off, the original stars:
Harrison Ford (Han)
Carrie Fisher (Leia)
Mark Hamil (Luke)
Billy Dee Williams (Lando)
Anthony Daniels (C-3PO)

The rumored newcomers:
Benedict Cumberbatch
Micheal Fassbender
Hugo Weaving
Zac Efron
Gary Oldman
Saoirse Ronan
Jesse Plemons
Chiwetel Ejiofer
Adam Driver
Matt Smith
Jason Flemyng
Judi Dench
Chloe Moretz

There's probably a bunch more, but I can't remember them.

Honestly, I don't care who is in or how bad this movie might be, it's Star Wars. Even though Episode I sucked so horribly, I still watched it like 100 times.

So who else is ready to hear some news for the upcoming STAR WARS EPISODE VII?

Lex Luthor Is Who?????

So...The other day the announcement of Jessie Eisenburg playing Lex Luthor pretty much shocked the nation. Jessie Eisenburg is a decent actor to say at least, but he is no Lex Luthor. I can't even imagine him playing a villain. He's too comedic or something, he's not serious enough. He's too young! I understand why they went with a younger Lex, because Henry Cavil is also young, but they couldn't have picked someone else??

I've only seen Eisenburg in a few movies. Zombieland, that Facebook movie, and honestly I think that's it. He was good in Zombieland, but that movie was supposed to be lighthearted...The Facebook movie, eh, that movie is overrated. He played the part well, I guess. I mean does anyone actually know what Mark Zuckerberg acts like? Probably not...

I'm going to go back to when I said, I have to wait and see. But seriously what are they doing??? Ben Affleck as Batman?? Jessie Eisenburg as Lex Luthor?? Jeremy Irons as Alfred??

I hope they know what they're doing...

Plus Jeremy (The always villain in every movie) Irons as Alfred??? I'm sure you all remember him as the classic Simon Gruber in Die Hard 2 or Scar in The Lion King, right?? He's a natural villain, even in Eragon he played Brom, he wasn't exactly the nicest of "good" characters...

Well...I guess we're gonna have to wait and see how this movie is in two years...yes, because they pushed it back another year to 2016.

Update On Batman Vs. Superman

So everyone knows about Superman and Batman team up, they also added Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. So that's three main superheroes in one movie...SLOW DOWN DC! IT'S NOT JUSTICE LEAGUE!

Anyway, ever since The Avengers came out, everything has been over compensating. Think about it: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has three villians, X-Men: Days of Future Past has every single X-Men in it, Batman Vs. Superman has already three superheroes in it. Everyone just needs to stop before all these movies flop. 

Now there's talk of Lex Luthor and Doomsday both to be in Batman Vs. Superman. They should of had Lex Luthor and a Batman villain, that would have made a lot more sense to me. But again, this is only a rumor. 

So what else is going on, Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock he's rumored to be in an upcoming DC movie. Here's my top 5 list of characters for him to play:

1. Jon Stewart/Green Lantern

2. Martian Manhunter

3. Cyborg

4. Doomsday

5. Lobo 

Nothing has been confirmed yet, of course. What else, Flash is supposed to make an apperance since The Flash movie comes out the year after Batman Vs. Superman. Btw Batman Vs. Superman is a working title. 

There was also a rumor that Nightwing might appear and Cyborg too...I know, it's crazy. 

Well, that's all I've got so far. Check back if you want to find out more.

UPDATE

So apparently Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League are filming back to back. This is why there is so much talk about all these different superheroes right now. Plus Josh Halloway is the newest rumor...I'm thinking Aquaman? 

Worst Movie Lines Part 2

Here's another list of really dumb movie lines. Movie lines that really make you think if the people read the script before they made the movie. Lines that don't make any sense or are just really stupid. 

If you didn't get to see Part 1, I had the following lines:

X-Men: Storm: "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning...the same thing that happens to everything else. - Wow, just wow...

Titanic: Rose: "I'll never let go Jack, I'll never let go" - Now I know she's talking about holding him in her heart, but literally seconds later she drops him into the cold ocean...bye Jack..

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones: Anakin Skywalker: "I don't like sand. It's coarse and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth"  - One of the many very creepy and disturbing lines Anakin says in this movie...

The Fast and the Furious: Brian: "He knows I can box" - Brian, just shut up. No one likes you in this movie, everybody watching it is rooting for Dom. 

Transformers: John Keller: "Well we have one now" - Duh..why do you think they're telling you now...stupid...

Now Part 2:

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith: Padme: "Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo." - Yes...we all remember that creepy moment. And I'm pretty sure she didn't like it either at the time...

Catwoman: Catwoman "Guess what, it's overtime" - Halle Berry is really a bad actor when you think about it, either that or she just picks really dumb parts and doesn't read the script before hand...

Now Here's a whole bunch from the worst movie ever: Batman and Robin

Mr. Freeze: "Cool party", "Allow me to break the ice", "Lets kick some ice", "Everybody chill", "Tonight hell freezes over", "The iceman cometh", "Freeze well", "Stay cool, bird boy", "Tonight's forecast, a freeze is coming", "You're not sending me to the cooler", "What killed the dinosaurs, the ice age!"

Poison Ivy: "It's a jungle in here", No more monkey business", "Poly wanna kiss", "Sorry, my vines have a crush on you", "Then Gotham will be mine for the greening"

Batman: "We have less than 10 minutes to thaw the city", "Seven million, never leave the cave without it", "No he's just hibernating"

Robin: "It's a utility belt, not a money belt", "It's Batman and Robin, not Robin and Batman", "I want a car, chicks dig the car", "I'm going solo", "So this is where you hang out", "Just the beast", "Rubber lips are immune to your charms"

Wow that movie is just so horribly bad...and here's a video from one of my favorite YouTube Channels: Screen Junkies/Honest Trailers:

Batman Vs. Superman

It's been a while since I've been on here, to all of you who read my blog, I apologize.

Man of Steel just got released on Blu-Ray/DVD on Tuesday, I think now is a good time to get a closer look at the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman movie which will hit theaters in the summer of 2015.

I am really looking forward to seeing this movie. I know all the hate going towards it because of Ben Affleck playing Batman, but I've made my peace with that and moved past it. I don't care who is playing Batman. He's going to be in an upcoming movie along side Superman. What is more awesome than that?

To all the people who still see Affleck as a bad idea, remember Heath Ledger. He played the Joker in The Dark Knight. That casting call got twice as much negativity than Affleck as Batman and Ledger was probably the best Joker I have ever seen. Christopher Nolan is still involved with Batman Vs. Superman too, not directing it, but producing it. So there is always hope.

The rumor mill has been buzzing recently involving cameos in Batman Vs. Superman. Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Lex Luthor, The Flash, etc.. Only one has been confirmed: Lex Luthor. The actor playing him, however, has not been confirmed. At first Mark Strong was to play Superman's nemesis, but those rumors were shot down. Then it was Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston. Those rumors were also shot down. Now, the current rumor is Lost's Terry O'Quinn will play Lex Luthor. Making Lex a much older man since O'Quinn is almost 70.

Personally, I would much rather see a younger Lex Luthor. Not twenties, but in the thirties range. I would like to see Smallville's Lex Luthor, Michael Rosenbaum take the part. He's younger and he played a great Lex Luthor.

Things I can't wait to see in this movie:
The new Batmobile. In recent rumors, it has been said that The Batmobile will resemble an old Cadillac. Sounds good to me.
The new Batsuit. There has been a ton of concept art and fan art released around so far. But I read recently that they have made it and they said it looks awesome. Unfortunately, I have not seen it yet, still excited to.
Batman's gadgets. The batarang, grappling hook, etc.. The batarang, especially. Since it was not in the Dark Knight Trilogy and that still upsets me a little.
How will Batman match Superman. Kryptonite didn't exist in Man of Steel, so I'm curious of how this will work out.

Batman Vs. Superman is just a working title, I'm hoping they will change it. Obviously, they will fight each other at first then combine forces against a greater enemy, but I hope they change it to something else that sounds cooler.

Following the release of Batman Vs. Superman will come The Flash in 2016 and the long awaited Justice League in 2017.

Perfect Batman

I wrote an article a few days ago about who I wanted to play Batman, but I overlooked the perfect person for the part.

Fassbender, Evans, and all those guys are great actors and would all play Batman well, but the best actor to play Batman is:

Jim Caviezel.

He's older than most of the Bruce Wayne/Batman(s), but that's actually a good thing. Since the movie is going to be Batman Vs. Superman. Obviously they are going to fight at first and then team up. Batman and Superman are best friends in the comics, Bruce Wayne is going to have to help guide Superman into the hero he is supposed to be. So it would make a lot more sense to have an older Bruce Wayne to help guide Clark Kent to that point. It would be pretty unrealistic to have some young Bruce Wayne giving Clark Kent all these guidelines and advice if he is only a young person himself with no experience.

He is currently starring in the TV series Person of Interest, written by Jonathan Nolan. The brother of Christopher Nolan, the producer of Man of Steel. If you've ever seen the show, you'd notice that there are a lot of similarities to the Batman story comic book line. Caviezel plays a cop named Reese. He takes on different identities to solve crimes, just like Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman. He's not afraid to use guns, but he prefers to shoot down his enemies in the knee. But the biggest thing is how Caviezel fights in the show. He fights a lot like Batman. He uses everything he has at his disposal. He is an ex CIA so he has gadgets and weaponry like The Dark Knight.  

Jim Caviezel is the perfect fit for Batman.

Goosebumps Scenes: Courtyard Apocalypse

The scene is epic, but the music really makes the scene.

Great Movie Moments: Sword vs. Gun

Worst Rumors Ever!

So yesterday and today I keep seeing these disturbing rumors for Star Wars Episode VII. It's so disturbing that if they go with these rumors and they become true, Star Wars will suck.

First. Casting rumors. Two not the greatest actors. 1 horrible one in my opinion and one eh one who doesn't belong in Star Wars. Technically, neither of them do. So the latest rumors are that Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron are going to play Han and Luke's kids in Star Wars. Horrible idea. They are on the right track with the age thing, but please oh please not these actors! Ryan Gosling is a bad actor. He hasn't been in anything good ever. And for Efron, he's a Disney actor. This is the only reason I've had doubts about his movie in the first place, Disney. Disney always has to do something stupid. Like casting, especially.

I have a feeling this is going to be a let down movie. Kinda like Episodes 1-3. Horrible casting. Yeah, the special effects were awesome, but the acting sucked. That's why I will always prefer the original three. Awesome acting. The special effects didn't matter, the actors were awesome.

What happened to Jonathan Rhyes Myers? I thought he was going to be in this movie. What happened to the whole, J.J. Abrams knows him because of MI3, so where is he?

Second bad thing. Rumors of Director J.J. Abrams leaving Star Wars. It was hard enough to try to find a director in the first place, please don't leave. If he leaves, they'll probably get some sucky director and it will be a total flop.

Disney, please don't cast bad actors. Cast good ones like the original three movies. Combine that with great special effects. Best movies ever. But if you cast bad actors, that's not going to happen. Listen to Slim Tim.

Goosebumps Scenes: "My Sons Were Better Men"

This is my all time favorite movie. This whole scene is awesome, but at around 6:10 it gets really awesome.
