  1. If you'd like to drop me a PM when you're ready, I'd be happy to fix you up with a new password.
  2. Congratulations @GuessGirl, and hope you keep 'em coming. May I say, your avatar is pretty awesome.

    A slot on the next series of 'I'm A Celebrity' surely now beckons for Big Sam. I suppose it's no real surprise to find him conforming to the dodgepot standards of the game, but I thought he would have had enough sense to realise that keeping one's nose clean and one's gob shut is a prerequisite for the England job. Presumably, the FA now do what they should have done after the Euros and go for a manager with actual experience of tournament football, because I doubt even Gareth Southgate wants Gareth Southgate.
  4. Obviously, the release date for this is still a long, long way away, but production is scheduled to start before the end of this year. Here's what we know so far: Principal photography to take place in Atlanta from November 2016 and June 2017. First feature film to be shot entirely in IMAX. The story will focus heavily on supporting characters. At least 67 distinct characters confirmed to appear. Every character across both movies will have appeared at least once in a previous entry in the MCU. Integrating characters from Marvel TV shows will be "complicated" (the Russos), but the "opportunity exists" (Feige). Teasers/trailers/One Shots planned that are "shot specifically for online that will never appear in the movie but that may appear as a kind of short film." Events will "span the entire Marvel universe."
  5. Hello, good evening and welcome!

    Awesome. The first season really was like a breath of fresh air for me. I suppose how clever it all is will only be fully known in retrospect, for now I think it's great to see something a little bit different.

    I managed to make it through the first season of Legends of Tomorrow, although I was on the brink of giving up for most of it. Suddenly though, I'm starting to feel like giving the show another chance.

    @Stormbringer @PinkCouture It felt like there was a slight lull about a third of the way through S1, although it comes back storming over the final six episodes. Won't give anything away, but it was brilliant. Overall I think it's the sort of thing where, if you get out of sync with it, you probably have to push yourself a bit to keep watching. Once you've done that, the intrigue factor keeps you going.

    It's become a real 'just one more, just one more, oh crap it's four in the morning' show for me. Probably more so than any other from the last couple of years, bar Daredevil.

    @PinkCouture @bebop2015 @Syria @elfstone @toodarnhot, would I be right in thinking that you guys are also into the show? I've been watching the first season over the last week or so, and it's one of the most addictive TV programmes I've seen in a long time. Any other fans out there?

    Here are the launch trailers for seasons one and two. For those folks who are yet to watch the first season all the way through, the second vid may contain spoileriffic information.

  14. I swear, if I look at your new avi for long enough, I can actually hear Terry Jones' voice.
  15. Yeah, I mean the Nolan trilogy wasn't exactly canon, but it was a singular vision from start to finish and he understood the characters. Unlike Snyder, storytelling is his strong suit, he was given license to tell them the way he wanted and had the freedom to make sure that the narrative worked within the world he'd created. I'd like to see DC take their time now and get themselves an in-house studio, where a producer can oversee each movie so that they don't totally contradict each other. It'd be a more effective way of opening the fans up to a wider universe.
  16. I vaguely remember Snyder stating (possibly before the release, certainly before the poor reviews started rolling in) that Justice League would probably be lighter in tone than BvS. The recent statement from studio head Geoff Johns more or less just reiterated that, only this time making it sound like Snyder was about to be thrown under the bus. Presumably what this points to is Justice League (much like Suicide Squad before it) either being edited to within an inch of its life by the studio, or being super heavy on Johns’ New 52 influence. Perhaps both. There's going to be so much pressure on Wonder Woman now to get in good with the critics. If it doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those other DC projects mysteriously disappeared from the calendar.
  17. The recently released Justice League teaser would seem to back that up too. I really am still pulling for DC to get it right, but the clip just felt jarring to me because it was such a huge about-face from all its previous references. It's a pity that we've had to arrive at a point where seeing the characters written as they are is a shock to the system for them to reconsider their direction.
  18. Now this is a movie I wouldn't mind seeing.

    Netflix continues to roll out teasers for the series.

    Whatever Marvel do, as long as it's handled well, I'll be the first in line to gawk at. I really hope Luke Cage is its own thing, though. All the Marvel/Netflix stuff has been set in Hell's Kitchen so far, and this takes place in Harlem. Hopefully that'll mix things up a bit and give it a different feel. Looking forward to seeing more.

    I don't mind watching a kid's programme if it's entertaining. A good story is a good story, regardless of the presentation.

    Thread cleaned. It's time to draw a line under the current discussion. Since we're mindful of how quickly disagreements can get ugly online, we ask members to try and tread carefully and to be aware of the thin line between expressing opinions/constructive criticism (which we're okay with) and baiting/bashing (which we’re not okay with). This is not limited to the models or celebrities featured here, it also includes our fellow BZ users. As always, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me via PM. Thanks for your cooperation.

    Some of the songs you see on 'worst ever' lists are actually quite hard to dislike, albeit in a past-their-prime, slightly ironic kind of way. But 'We Built this City' is genuinely awful. If I could, I'd nominate it for worst ever music video too.

    Iron Man regular Jon Favreau just signed up to reprise his role as Tony Stark's driver, Happy Hogan. Old Bobby D himself is already confirmed to appear which presumably points to the pair sharing screen time again. With Zendaya of course rumoured to be playing Mary-Jane, it looks like the cast is really starting to take shape.
