New Hasbro 6" Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2-Pack Revealed - Movie Spoilers
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Yes, but HE doesn't get a say in who uses his face. I don't care what kind of situational ethics or plastic fan-boy moral code you subscribe to, that's wrong. -
New Hasbro 6" Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2-Pack Revealed - Movie Spoilers
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
So YOU say. I say, once I'm done on this mortal coil, the Mako Bar is closed. That's the problem right there. WE are here to make that call. How do we know Ramis WANTED to be in another Ghostbusters? Even if he did, how do we know he'd want to be in THIS one. Hell, they've been throwing money at Murray for 30 years, and by all reports, HE still only barely drug his butt back. And make no mistake, this isn't being done out of love OR respect. They're using a dead man's face to put butts in seats that might not otherwise show up. That makes a man into a commodity, and there is no connotation, whether selling movie tickets, action figures, or picking cotton under which that's EVER been a good thing. -

I never said the movie wasn't going to be good (I DO have my doubts), I just think using a dead actor's likeness in a movie is, frankly, kinda disgusting. -

An action figure of a character based on an actor who died years before the movie the character appears in was even an idea. Jesus, Hollywood gets a little more creepy every day. -
Dan Trachtenberg To Helm 'Predator' Reboot At 20th Century Studios
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
I didn't even know Trachtenberg was attached to this . . . but it kinda makes sense. Everything I've heard about this movie gives me a vibe like they just scooped up a generic Sy-Fy Channel movie of the week script and retrofitted it for the Predator franchise, ala 10 Cloverfield Lane. Either that, or they want some of that sweet, sweet Asylum money so they're making their OWN mockbusters now. -

Actually they did, as did the Apache, the Cheyenne and the Arapaho. -
Apex Legends 6" Series 2 Figures From Jakks Pacific
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Nice looking figures, but I'm still a little gun-shy as far as video-game based figures go. Loved Hasbro's Overwatch, but they up and cancelled it on me without ever giving us a Winston OR a D.Va mech. Fortnite was a little "out there" but still cool, but distribution in my area was so spotty in the beginning, half the line had passed before I could find them with anything approaching consistency. So yeah, I'm played out on game figures. -
Same here. I've been a fan going all the way back to her guest-shot on Captain Power. Unfortunately, her choice of projects usually meant I didn't follow her career as close as I'd have liked. Got burnt out on the X-Files before she signed on, hate Walking Dead, The Boys and everything they stand for.

The Flash: 'Armageddon' 5-Part Season 8 Launch Event
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
That was a creative decision for Superman's show. Remember, it's been well established that A Superman does still exist in the Arrowverse, so the question is still valid. Frankly, having seen most of these shows, I'm pretty happy keeping Superman and Lois, and Stargirl, well away from them. -
Say what you will about the man, he knows how to spend his money. Not a criticism, mind you. If I had a couple mil to burn, you bet I'd be stroking MY ego. Go Todd, go.

Batwoman - 3.03 'Freeze' Preview Images, Synopsis & Promo

Bad choice of words on my part. I only meant I think they're both cute. Never meant to imply you were trying to start anything. My bad. Well said btw. -
Batwoman - 3.03 'Freeze' Preview Images, Synopsis & Promo
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
I won't be lured into a who's prettier argument. Take away the tramp-stamps and Ruby is pretty easy on the eyes, and while the suit doesn't do Javicia any favors (especially the mask), she's no slouch either. I DO agree that Javicia would do better to just follow Ruby's lead and cut and run. I myself occasionally fall into the trap of equating Javicia the actress with the generally horrible quality of season 2, just as many still place their blame on Rose for the dumpster fire that was season 1 (at least after the Crisis crossover), and that's really unfair to both. Through no fault of the cast, the show is just a hot mess. Poorly conceived, horribly executed, it NEEDS to go. -

Oh Rachel, you're WAY to good for this show. You don't need this bargain basement Harley Quinn crap. -
I can see how you would get that impression. I mean Holland HAS been playing Iron Man's sidekick since Civil War. Why should ersatz Indiana Jones be any different?

This is true. Guilty or not, Ruby should move on while she can. For better or worse, there's a thin line between being a Hollywood whistle-blower and being the next Sean Young. And hey, the last time I checked, Ruby was still getting paid to make movies, while team Batwoman was struggling to keep a show everybody hates and nobody's watching afloat. Point, Ruby Rose.
