    It's because the first version you mention was metrosexual Aquaman who just got back from a spa day that included a mani-pedi. He talked about relationships with dolphins.

    The new version is a guy who'd hang out in biker bars, out-drinking the regulars, and ride away on a Harley that he won playing 8-ball (having started the night with $20 in his pocket).

      WB is holding the embargo til Wednesday (actually Tuesday Night) because the local premieres are all on Tuesday. I know I am going to the one here They arent going to have reviews come out before the sneak previews. They opened up the Social Media embargo this afternoon but it is usually their policy to hold reviews until right before release. Even WW only moved up a day and movies like IT and Mad Max didnt at all.

      They have screenings tonight and I believe tomorrow as well. They have been screening the movie for bloggers and nerd journalists for the last week or so.

      I dont expect it to change my life but I think I will enjoy it which is all I ever care about when I see films

        The original one did not have women hoping he'd tear their clothes off and ravish you (with permission, of course).
        Or so I've heard.

          The release date for WW2 has been moved up to November 1, 2019 to avoid direct competition with Star Wars Episode IX. As has been discussed on the other thread, Gal Gadot is not yet under contract for the sequel and may have some very expensive demands for WB to meet.

          In other DCEU news, Ben Affleck has decided three days before Justice League is a good time to announce he's looking for a way to leave the role of Batman. That's sure to boost ticket sales and keep the media spotlight on the new movie.

            The Affleck news isnt new...there have been rumors for months about it (even when he denied it) and now he is just ending the rampant clickbait speculation. (some of the worst being done by your faves at Collider) He will do Reeves' The Batman and then probably walk away. WB wont offer him $50 million like they Disney did to keep RDJ making their films (nor should they)

            It will have zero effect on how Justice League does no matter what the clickbaiters tell you. You really need to stop reading that stuff

            On anther note: Not sure what Disney's endgame is with barring the LA Times from all premiere's now but they might want to rethink that.

              Affleck's quote was today in a media availability for Justice League. Maybe he could have kept playing the happy guy for another couple of weeks.

              The Disney/LAT thing was cleared up last week wasn't it? The Mouse House capitulated but tried to make it look like the LAT did.

                  Agreed.


                  The Dinner:

                  Two wealthy couples (husbands are brothers) meet for dinner to catch up with each other. But there is something else on the agenda that could break them.

                  Flashbacks mixed in with current time, a slow build until the hectic final scenes. Very much dialogue driven, and the characters are really fleshed out nicely. A bit awkward to watch at first, given one of the main characters, but stick with it. I would recommend it, for sure.
                  Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                    No thanks.

                    Disney capitulated...huh I honestly didnt know that. They obviously felt the pressure since a bunch of other media said they would boycott all screenings until the Times was let back in. All because they were butthurt over an article about Disneyland and Anaheim.

                        I am waiting. Hope it's even half as good as the first one. Don't give me something like Kick Ass 2.

                          I still havent seen the first one. I was supposed to go a couple of times but the people I was seeing it with went without me. Never felt motivated enough to watch it on my own. If my buddies want to check out #2 I will watch it beforehand like I did with X-Men: First Class before seeing Days of Futures Past.

                          Sadly I dont see as many movies as I used to. I think the last movie I saw was Spiderman: Homecoming cause my best friend is a Spidey freak (he was underwhelmed) and War For the Planet of the Apes cause my dad has loved the Apes films since he was a kid and we love the new series. The amount of movies I am motivated to see drops every year...

                            That sounds like me and theaters. Unless it's something that I know will be spoiled beforehand, I'll just skip it, in general. For Deadpool, well Goddam, that was such a repeat-viewing movie. And for your comic book/graphic novel/whatever tastes, I think you'd love it.

                              Hope it is not as bad as Kick *** 2. In my opinion, most of the movies that make up the second or third part have a lot of bad content. There are not too many things to exploit about the character and it does not make it attractive. ( sorry for my bad english)

                                I'm in favor of giving Batman a rest once Affleck is done mailing it in.

                                I think Bond also needs a solid 10-year break before its next reboot, once Craig is done with the role.
