any great spiderman movie has to realise that peter parker is the central character, not his costumed alter ego, and peter parker should always be the saddest sack this side of charlie brown

though that's an interesting take, bizarro
― a cake of three ingredients (stevie), Tuesday, 10 February 2015 12:11 (nine years ago) link
i dunno if peter parker needs to be a sad sack so much as he needs to be teetering on the edge of meltdown at all times - flat broke, being yelled at by jjj, worrying about aunt may, dealing with girl problems, his backup costume got ripped to shreds and ffs now the rhino's rampaging through downtown manhattan as well argh

miles morales is supposed to be pretty young, right? so probably not a donald glover role? trying to think who would make a good miles and i keep scaring myself w/ the idea of jaden smith taking over the franchise.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 16:15 (nine years ago) link
iirc Amy pascal blamed After Earth on her inability to say no to will smith but between its failure and will joining suicide squad I'd hope we're jaden free
Pretty doubtful it won't be Peter Parker though. Can't see them wanting any hubbub or confusion getting in the way of the cheers when Spidey swings into cap 3

It won't NOT be Peter Parker I mean
― da croupier, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 16:19 (nine years ago) link
i think it might be since in the comix they're bringing miles into the main canon (and shutting down ultimate) and they've talked about aligning the comix canon w/ the nu-media canon
― Mordy, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 16:21 (nine years ago) link
post-world smashy, they're going to probably have:
- Peter and Mary Jane married - Miles Morales is a young Spider-Man - Maybe other spider types running around post-Spiderverse. Spider-Gwen?

It's pretty amazing that ambulatory meme Donald Glover has managed to keep himself in the conversation for this. Granted I'm sure it's just a small yet vocal geek contingent and I'm confident that Marvel are smarter than that, but still, good hustle I guess
― Number None, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 16:28 (nine years ago) link
i would say the chances of a cinematic miles morales spidey for next gen movies is pretty damn high

― Mordy, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 16:29 (nine years ago) link
Obv there's an angle for morales but guys they made five movies about Peter Parker if Spidey is going to swoop into a marvel it would be so much easier to say "hi I'm Peter Parker we've met before" than "hi we've never met please to enjoy yet another origin story"

i liked the suggestion of maestro harrell (randy from the wire) which has been going around for a while. he'll probably be getting too old by the time the movies are cast but the thought of jaden smith is horrifying
― bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 16:38 (nine years ago) link
Jaden post karate kid way more plausible than jaden post-after earth
― da croupier, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 16:43 (nine years ago) link
Also if they recast marvel is gonna want charismatic and cheap, jaden is neither

In the future Hollywood will eventually just pool all its money into one big $1 trillion movie. They will actually destroy a whole city making it.

On April 29th, the two chains will screen all 11 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in sequential order, beginning with Iron Man and finishing with Avengers: Age of Ultron. That’s 27 hours straight of live action comic book madness, though based on runtimes and the marathon’s schedule, audiences can at least expect a bathroom break between movies.Cinemark will also join AMC and Regal in holding an Avengers double feature for the less dedicated, with The Avengers running right into Avengers: Age of Ultron. Tickets for all the viewing events at select theaters can be found at the AMC, Regal, and Cinemark websites. Here’s the schedule for AMC’s Ultimate Marvel Marathon:6:00 p.m. - Iron Man8:25 p.m. – The Incredible Hulk10:35 p.m. – Iron Man 21:00 a.m. – Thor3:10 a.m. – Captain America: The First Avenger5:30 a.m. – The Avengers8:48 a.m. – Iron Man 311:15 a.m. – Thor: The Dark World1:45 p.m. – Captain America: The Winter Soldier4:20 p.m. – Guardians of the Galaxy7:00 p.m. – Avengers: Age of Ultron (RealD® 3D)

I was kinda hoping that some theater chain or another would be doing this, but I was also kinda hoping they'd approach it in a reasonable way for people who have jobs and enjoy sleep.

If that's the way people are going to see the new film, I wonder how many people will be in a good enough mood to properly enjoy the last film. Sounds like the perfect way to spoil your appetite.

I hear that the optimal way to watch the movie is through tears of delirium.

Also reminds me of South Park in the World Of Warcraft episode. Bring your parents so you can shit into a big plate they hold out for you.

Fun fact: it took the James Bond series 44 years to churn out as many films as the MCU will have done in 11 (i.e. through 2019).

I saw Star Trek 5 at the end of a marathon screening of all five movies when I was a teenager but I don't think it was exhaustion that made that movie such a bummer

I once watched 7 movies in a row at the local movie festival, and I can tell you that shit is hella grueling, both physically and mentally. And the last movie just happened to be a Japanese flick that the festival catalogue promised to be a thrilling actioner, but it was more like tedious psychological torture porn, I almost wanted to cry at that point.
― Tuomas, Friday, 6 March 2015 22:05 (nine years ago) link
only time I've done this was for a 24-hr filmfest thing in college where the local rep house was doing it as a special event. I sat through Raiders of the Lost Ark, Singing in the Rain, and Casablanca and I think after that I fell asleep

Why do people watch movie marathons? Can't think of any way that makes any of them any better, unless they are maybe all literally parts of the same movie (like the three Lord of the Rings movies, maybe). And even then. Take a fucking break. That's why there are three movies and not one 12 hour movie. Would anyone just sit right down and read an 800 page novel without stopping?

In high school a friend and I planned to watch every Friday the 13th movie over a weekend and review them for the teen page of the local paper. We gave up on day 2 halfway into Jason takes manhattan, but we still talk about it as a fun memory.
So my guess is, the people doing this are younger than us.

part of me loves the idea of that Marvel marathon...but the other part of me enjoys sleeping & there's no way I'd make it through all of them
but i did a mini marathon of the Cap movies & Avengers ...and I have watched all three lotr movies in one sitting
i just like to binge sometimes :D

Goddammit
in high school once some friends were doing uninterrupted-lotr, and i had a lot to do that day so could not consistently attend, but in between driving around doing whatever cool important-feeling stuff it was i had to do with another friend we stopped two or three separate times at the lotr house to check in for 20-30 minutes and say things like "holy shit how are they only at lothlorien". this isn't a story i realize but it's a halcyon memory cuz it was the perfect combination of feeling cool and watching lotr. on the other hand: later in college i would do this marathon myself, with a different set of friends, and, i think, somewhere in rohan, i think, a couple girls came over and did a bunch of coke by themselves.
