Do the other DC movies get scrapped? Do they try another new DC [movie continuity], or do they have to wait a while so people don’t get confused? Watch Forever Strong Online (2017) on this page. How long would it take for the taste of JL to wash out of people’s mouths? Let’s take a step back and remember that “bomb” is a relative term here.

For all its faults, Batman v Superman made a ton of money—$8. The problem is that WB knows it could have made a lot more if it had been better, and fans had actually liked it. Then the studio miraculously got Wonder Woman right, so it knows that it has the power to make a true, Marvel Studios- level superhero blockbuster, even if it has no real idea how it managed it. Since these movies still make money either way (for now), there’s no impetus for Warner Bros. To wonder if WB will reset the DC Extended Universe is to wonder if it actually has a cinematic universe in the first place.

Aquaman is much too close to being finished for the WB to back out of now, and Wonder Woman 2 is as a safe a bet as there could be. But what does it actually have in the works that’s even close to definitely getting made? Watch Grumpy Old Men Online Mic on this page. The next film on the schedule is Shazam in 2.

Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam for his own film later. Neither Cyborg nor Green Lantern Corps. Cyborg has a star—and they’re both ostensibly coming out in 2. Not likely. Now, here’s all the DC films that Warner Bros. The Batman, which was originally announced in 2.

Matt Reeves said he was completely starting the movie over from scratch this past summer. The Flash, which has had Ezra Miller attached to star since October 2. Flashpoint at this year’s San Diego Comic- Con. Batgirl, by the suddenly less beloved Joss Whedon. Justice League Dark, which was announced in 2. Lobo, announced in 2.

A Joker and Harley Quinn movie. A Nightwing movie. That insane “gritty” Elseworlds Joker origin movie from Martin Scorsese.

Theoretically Black Adam, a Deadshot solo movie, and Suicide Squad 2. And there’s always Man of Steel 2 and Justice League 2. All these movies were either announced so long ago that we have no reason to believe they’ll actually get made in the next five years, or are so new that there’s little chance they’ll survive until gestation. Since 2. 01. 3, WB has made four DCEU films: Man of Steel, Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, and Wonder Woman.

Do you really think all 1. I’m guessing five, max, and it’ll take at least 1. Oh, and if somehow Justice League is a smash hit and everything gets greenlit? Well, then Ben Affleck is still obviously, adorably desperate to abandon this nonsense, and Flashpoint almost certainly will, by its very name, reset the DC movie- verse anyway.

And then there’s WB’s astoundingly insane decision to maybe make DC superhero movies that aren’t in continuity with the rest of the films, for maximum audience confusion and absence of synergy. The bottom line is that WB is basically so terrified it’s going to screw these movies up again, that it’s waiting for Justice League and Aquaman to come out, and let the studio know if it’s on the right track or not. Until then (and, if we’re being honest, probably long after then) it’s going to keep throwing anything it can think of against the DC movie wall. The occasional movie will somehow come out, and no one can be sure if it’ll be part of the cobbled- together Extended Universe or not. Not even Warner Bros. GRRM Warfare. About 8. People, Give or Take: 1) Are Benioff and Weiss actually bad showrunners who have coasted on George R.

R. Martin’s work? Why was the decision made to shorten seasons seven and eight when the show could have clearly benefitted from more time? Will season eight have the same problems? No. I know Weiss and Benioff have barely done anything else in Hollywood beyond Game of Thrones, which seems pretty incriminating.

I also know that it feels like the two of them fully abandoned the books this season, and then calamity and problems immediately ensued. But let’s remember that Weiss and Benioff have made six good to great seasons of Game of Thrones, and there’s a hell of a lot more to showrunning than just putting the books onscreen. More importantly, the two have been going off script from the books from the very beginning, from that wonderful, iconic conversation between Cersei and Robert Baratheon in season one right through that magnificent season six finale where Cersei finally achieved everything on her vision board. They had run out of book material for various storylines starting back in season four, and yet we were good straight through six.

Have poor choices been made this season? Absolutely, but that brings us to…2) .. I think is responsible for most of the season’s problems. More time would have allowed more characters more moments, more explanations for some of the bizarre things that happened (see below), and just more breathing room to give the various storylines more weight.

It still wouldn’t have solved the godawful mess that was the Sansa- Arya storyline, but it likely did mean Weiss and Benioff needed to figure out a way to kill Littlefinger sooner rather than later, and the only way they could think of to kill him with some drama was by turning Arya into a crazy person. As for who decided to shortened the seasons, I sincerely doubt Weiss and Benioff wanted to. Game of Thrones is their baby, and they knew they were in for a long haul, assuming the show didn’t get canceled. I doubt they were bored right at the beginning of the series’ epic conclusion. Certainly HBO didn’t want shortened seasons; they’d be happy to run Game of Thrones until the heat death of the universe. That leaves the actors, and remember, seven years is a long time for an actor to play a single character, especially actors of the caliber of Lena Headey and Peter Dinklage.

I bet anything Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke at minimum are dying to be done with it in order to move on to new projects.

Everything That Happened in North Korea While You Were Sleeping. Did you have a good sleep?

No? I don’t blame you. With President Trump and Kim Jong- un both escalating tensions between the two nuclear powers this week it’s tough to sleep soundly, despite what Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says. While Americans are dozing, the other side of the world is awake.

And the other side of the world happens to include North Korea. Here’s everything that happened with US- North Korea relations while you were doing your best to slumber. North Korea threatens to launch missiles near Guam as early as mid- August. North Korea made new threats overnight that it was drawing up plans to launch a missile that would land in waters near Guam. The plans are currently being developed, according to a statement by North Korea’s Army, and are supposed to be delivered to Kim Jong- un by mid- August. If you check the calendar, you’ll note that it’s August 1.

Sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him,” the statement said about President Trump. The statement acknowledged that such a launch would be an “unprecedented step” and North Korea even gave details about where they might shoot.“The Hwasong- 1.

KPA will cross the sky above Shimane, Hiroshima and Kochi Prefectures of Japan. They will fly 3,3. Guam,” the statement continued. The Hwasong- 1. 2 is the intercontinental ballistic missile that has been tested successfully twice by the North Korean regime. The statement made reference to President Trump’s recent “fire and fury” threats against North Korea and even poked fun at the amount of golf he’s playing on his 1. The U. S. president at a golf links again let out a load of nonsense about ‘fire and fury,’ failing to grasp the on- going grave situation,” the report said. This is extremely getting on the nerves of the infuriated Hwasong artillerymen of the KPA.”So, yeah, not great.[KCNA]Trump aides continue their own threats in response to North Korea.

White House aide Sebastian Gorka was on Fox News last night and appeared on BBC during the morning hours in Britain, local time. Gorka, per usual, insisted that the Trump regime was responding appropriately to North Korea, and didn’t seem at all bothered that the over- the- top rhetoric was inflaming tensions.“Donald Trump has been unequivocal. He will use any appropriate measures to protect the United States and her citizens,” Gorka told the BBC’s Today program overnight, according to CNBC. Strangely, the Trump regime continues to blame the previous administration and President Obama for not doing enough to curtail North Korea’s nuclear program. Gorka even made a dig at Obama that seemed completely out of nowhere.“We do not telegraph our future scenarios and how we are going to react.

That’s how the Obama administration thought strategy works. That’s not how it works,” said Gorka to the BBC, a network that he has previously called fake news. Curiously, new reports out of Europe indicate that the Trump regime is even more obsessed with Obama than previously thought.

Trump is on a mission to undo everything Obama did, no matter what that might be.“It’s his only real position,” one European diplomat told Buzzfeed. He will ask: ‘Did Obama approve this?’ And if the answer is affirmative, he will say: ‘We don’t.’ He won’t even want to listen to the arguments or have a debate. He is obsessed with Obama.”Weird, to say the least. Though it certainly lends credence to the previously unbelievable motive for the alleged pee tape.[CNBC and Buzzfeed]Two aides to UN Ambassador Nikki Haley resign. In a bizarre move, two aides to America’s ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, have resigned. Chief of Staff Steven Groves and the head of communications Jonathan Wachtel both left their jobs yesterday, but it’s unclear why.

Haley insisted that both of the men have “recently encountered family concerns,” without going into any more detail. Ambassador Haley was applauded for securing tough economic sanctions against North Korea on Saturday in a UN vote of 1. Trump regime is undermining diplomatic progress through unhinged statements. The rumors on social media indicate that Watchel, Haley’s now former head of communications, called Haley a “fruitloop,” though those reports haven’t been confirmed. Nor is it clear what that means.[Bloomberg]South Korea calls an emergency meeting of its National Security Council.

South Koreans have been relatively chill about North Korea’s latest provocations, given that they’re used to the rhetoric of Kim Jong- un at their doorstep. But today South Korea called an emergency meeting of its National Security Council. From Yonhap News: The NSC meeting will be held at 3 p. President Moon Jae- in’s top security adviser and National Security Office chief Chung Eui- yong, according to Cheong Wa Dae. Seoul is 1. 4 hours ahead of New York time, meaning that the meeting has already happened, but there aren’t yet reports of anything that may or may not have been decided.[Yonhap News]Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is traveling to Japan, South Korea, and China. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, is reportedly going to be touring the region next week, making his first stop in Japan on Sunday.

The Pentagon hasn’t officially announced Dunford’s schedule, but South Korean media reports that his trip will include stops in South Korea on Monday before heading to China. Dunford is considered to be one of the adults on Trump’s team, but so far he and Defense Secretary James Mattis have been unable to curtail the worst of the president’s strange behavior. With any luck, Dunford’s trip can seek to assure allies in the region that our idiot president isn’t going to start World War III with his tweets. But I’m not holding my breath.[Yonhap News]US Navy destroyer sails through South China Sea in show of force. And if all of that wasn’t enough, the US Navy just sailed near one of China’s artificial islands in the South China Sea. Calling it a “freedom of navigation operation,” the move comes amid increasing tensions between the US and China over what the two can do to curtail North Korea’s nuclear program.

From Reuters: The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the USS John S. Mc. Cain traveled close to Mischief Reef in the Spratly Islands, among a string of islets, reefs and shoals. China has territorial disputes with its neighbors over the area.
