Re: Predator Reboot...

I haven't seen a new R-rated Predator flick on the big screen since 1990 (I skipped AvP:R and Predators.) I'm sure this will suck but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless, lol.

I never thought I would live to see the day where a Predator has something in common with Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

I’m going to have to read subtitles lol

Just think about that for a second.

Crouching Predator Hidden Busey :lol

I’m praying for the Predator to yell and this pop up underneath him: “Hey you, yeah you, get over here!”

She said she didn't accept Shane's apology and her silence isn't for sale . . . So just how much will this controversey affect the box office? Is it dead on arrival?


I’m having trouble getting past the churn, so I’m still not clear (yet) on exactly what happened . . .
. . . this article is a good one though - especially if read all the way through - https://www.latimes.com/entertainme...ck-steven-wilder-striegel-20180906-story.html

So far, it APPEARS:
  • Shane Black hired a friend (Steven Wilder Striegel) for a bit-part in the movie. The scene he was in was with Olivia Munn.
  • Black knew that Striegel had been convicted of 2 sexual felonies (risk of injury to a child + enticing a minor by computer), served 6-months jail time, and is a registered *** offender.
  • It’s not clear how much of the offence detail Black was aware of (conflicting reports), but he did say -
    "I personally chose to help a friend. I can understand others might disapprove, as his conviction was on a sensitive charge and not to be taken lightly."
  • Black apparently didn’t warn the cast or Fox studios. Not clear if this was oversight, bad judgement, or deliberate.
  • Munn found out after-the-fact and told Fox Aug 15.
  • Fox pulled the scene as soon as they were told and have stated –
    "We were not aware of his background during the casting process due to legal limitations that impede studios from running background checks on actors."
  • Shane Black apologised to the cast, crew & Fox for not telling them -
    "I apologize to all of those, past and present, I've let down by having Steve around them without giving them a voice in the decision."


Again, it's not clear from the press hyperbole, but some of it gives the impression that Munn is causing the stink NOW because she doesn’t like the way she was apologised to, feels there was an attempt to "make this go away", and feels the cast have ostracised her to some degree.


My conclusion so far is that Striegel is scum, Black made a bad/inconsiderate call, the studio background check laws need to be changed, and Munn & Black need to have a chat.

YMMV – but unless something more serious comes up, I’ll simply avoid watching “Iron Man 3” and “The Nice Guys” ever again (OK - full disclosure - I was never going to watch them again anyways).

Ugh!
Just came back from a Preview Screening... I won't get into spoiler territory... but this movie is CRAP!!! I didn't think after AVP:R the franchise could sink any lower... but man... arghhh... I'm pissed... and sad...
Oh well
 
Poor a-dev going to get seizures from that video, you know he's allergic to Jahns. Bad jye. :nono

I have a feeling Grace will tear this a new one.
 
Grace loved Nun only one who did and she was showered with gifts by WB.

She thinks that by talking about the WB gifts out in the open makes it ok to be bought off lol

My wife doesn’t like JJ she says he talks too fast very unnaturally so :lol

Yet she went off on Campea for being a paid Marvel shill and defended BvS against the critics. :lol
