Point of No Return was a badass movie. Kind of sucks Bridget Fonda doesn't act anymore.
Agreed. Not only could she act, she was super sexy. Was there any specific reason she stopped?

Got married to Danny Elfman I believe, had a son with him and essentially retired from the business to be a stay-at-home mom. Kind of surprised she didn't just scale back her schedule and continue to do things on a more limited basis as he got older. With her family name, talent, and beauty she was going to be able to get roles as she wanted them.

But good for her. She clearly never has to work in film again. I'm sure she had made a lot over the years and Elfman is probably worth a shit ton. As well he should be. Some of those Burton movie scores are epic- Batman, Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow, etc

Mask is a bit closer to this one.

That sounds like a happy life, but holy sh!+ Elfman is a creepy looking dude.
 
Cool, I guess. Black Widow is so uninteresting to me. A typical Russian assassin/stereotypical ballet dancer from childhood. How interesting.

Similar to Red Sparrow - I haven't seen this either, but Jennifer Lawrence makes me want to steer clear of this boring film
 
I don't know man, the more I think about it, the less reasons I see for this movie. The BW appeal lies in the mystery surrounding her.

And it's gonna be tough to swallow seeing her younger in Iron Man 2 (2010) then in her own movie. 10 years is a long time...
Takes place between civil war and infinity war apparently....

Edit nvm I get what your saying...

Red Sparrow is a very different type of spy film. Lawrence isn't throwing around guys half her size; fights in the movie are short, messy and ugly. Extreme violence takes a toll. When Lawrence kills a Russian assassin she wins only because she sucker-punched him and her CIA agent lover helps her. Even then, both of them require hospital treatment. When Lawrence is tortured, she manages to keep the information the KGB is after secret, but vomits out of sheer terror.

Espionage in Red Sparrow is portrayed very much like the world of organised crime: a sordid, paranoid existence where your friends and family are as much, or even more of, a danger to you than your enemies. It's a far more accurate version of intelligence work than Black Widow or James Bond.
 
Lucy was terrible. I've seen better actin' in tuff actin tinactin.

Might as well write off all hope for Black Widow being good.

Black Widow Writer Not Interested In “Canon That Is Discriminatory” To Her Values System



“Schaeffer has a bold vision for superhero movies of the coming decade: more sympathetic villains, less glamorization of weaponry, and stronger representation of marginalized voices. To comic book movie fans who prefer ultra-violent shoot-outs, 100 percent-evil villains, and casts that look like they did a decade or two ago”

Schaeffer told the outlet that canon will be damned in her vision of a media property if it’s discriminatory to her own values system. She out and out tells the Left-wing hotspot…

“I’m not interested in adhering to comic canon that is discriminatory in any way or that violates my values system.” […]

[…] “When people react with hate, it saddens me. I think it’s a shame. But that’s not where I want to put my energy. I’m not interested in the loud, sour-grapes voices.”

Further into the interview with Inverse Schaeffer outright states that her goal is to remove guns and gun violence from films and to use the platform for the purpose of pushing “diversity” propaganda and anti-gun violence propaganda. In her own words, she says…

“I would like to see alternatives to violence in superhero movies. Maybe I would qualify that by saying, alternatives to glamorizing guns and weaponry. That’s one of the reasons that I love Captain Marvel — it’s all about inner power. And the destruction is not at the expense of human life. […]

“I choose to be a part of projects that are about positive representation. We need to see women, we need to see people of color, we need to see nuanced experiences, and we need to see different perspectives on screen. I choose to work with people who are interested in changing perspectives for the better, and putting a world on screen that is something we can aspire to and have conversations about, and moving in a direction that will create a world I hope will be better for my children.”

In short: Black Widow is going to be a feminist, anti-gun, “diversity” piece of propaganda.




First, the progressives within Disney came for Star Wars, and now they've infected Marvel.
 
BLACK WIDOW GETS TASKMASTER

Fuck off. I'm out. Will not watch unless someone pays me.

What a waste of a villain.
 
I wasn’t really wanting to see it anyways so I look forward to admiring the train wreck

I'd be more interested in Black Widow being a drama based movie. Seeing Johansson doing a solo action sequence with any of the previous MCU main villains would be laughable.

They really need to base the Black Widow character around Therons performance as Furiosa to work action wise.

MCU movies aren't dramas, they're action/scifi with drama and comedy added in where appropriate.

And Black Widow has been in comics, for 60+ years, during the cold war. She had her own human antagonists to fight in her own comics as recent as the 2000s.

They could have aimed for a spy plot, like in Captain America Winter Soldier. But nope, gotta fit in their agenda that makes everything suck.

Another example of wasted potential by Disney.

The director sounds obnoxious and out of touch with reality.

Hopefully this bites them in the ass and they learn their lesson in time for a proper xmen reboot.

Kevin Feige wtf happened?! You were the only Gen Xer or non BOOMER head of a blockbuster movie studio while the rest were led by boomers with no connection or understanding of what they were selling. Hence why the MCU succeeded where Sony and Fox failed.

Isn't "feminist/anti-gun/diversity" sounds like Captain Marvel or Black Panther movies? Haven't watched them to be honest, so maybe I'm wrong (well, seems like I'm wrong about diversity in the cast of Black Panther).

My guess is there going for a quite down to earth look for this film so his getup will be pseudo military body armour rather than more over the top.

As far as "anti gun" goes I'd guess that will be the badguys being more military industrial complex types, not exactly new for the MCU.

The big problem a lot of "woke" blockbusters tend to have is that there heroes become rather bland and lacking in flaws ala Captain Marvel and that shouldn't be an issue here.
