My understanding from talks with the comic shop owners I talk to was that the reboot last year was done to draw interest and build up their Civil War II run and then another reboot was done for the post CWII run. No idea why they just couldn't continue as planned after CWII but what do I know? I'll check out some of the new reboots and see if they're any good. The X-Men thing has me a bit ticked as most of my subs were X-Men and Guardians.

The Death of X shit is just stupid. Only thing I've really read from Marvel lately is Jason Aaron's Dr. Strange book, it's pretty good so far.

While I loved the Logan trailer, I felt it missed a trick. They could have made the fact that this is a Wolverine/X-Men film a big reveal at the climax of the trailer.
Take out the mention of mutants at the beginning and cut down the mentions of Logan and Charles and there is some mystery over what exactly this movie is about. Even have the fight scenes not show Wolverine's claws.
Then at the end have Logan reveal his claws to save himself, allowing things to fall into place - Logan, Charles, claws... holy shit, this is a Wolverine/X-Men movie!
I'd ask this in my own thread but Jake would hit me on the nose with a newspaper:
Guardians 2, Logan, Thor Ragnarok... Lego Batman; this year could be a worldly for superhero films. Wonder Woman and Justice League, assuming anybody still gives a fuck about the DC Universe, are also out this year, aren't they?
Don't worry, I'll watch Toni Erdmann tomorrow to cleanse myself.

I'm really hoping Wonder Woman works. If it doesn't, I think DC's failure is evident. There's only so much Marvel can outclass them before it becomes a default stance.

I still looki9ng forward to Wonder Woman, I'm sure JL will be fine, though I wish they ditch Snyder.
If superhero geeks didn't give up on the concept after Batman and Robin, they won't give up after Batman vs. Superman.
However, the other movies you have named do excite me, although I'd wager that Logan will be a disappointment, and Thor Ragnarok could be another, "good enough," for the Marvel crew. But the other two movies I think will be very enjoyable.
Say what you will about those Germans, but they know how to make a film... apparently.
I don't see how Justice League could be fine unless they fire Snyder. I recently came to the conclusion that he's a slightly more artistic Michael Bay.

I am far more forgiving of these movies than you are. I didn't hate BvS, I thought there was actually a pretty decent Batman movie buried in there, & I enjoyed all the Wonder Woman stuff as well, it's the Superman shit that sucked, & unfortunately there was a lot of it in that film.
I actually haven't seen it. I was referring to all the other movies I've seen of his, mainly 300 and Watchmen, but also Man of Steel.
He makes movies that appeal to the adolescent boy in us. He's like hair metal: it's flashy, feels like a party, gets your heart racing, and every now and then has some substance. But mostly it's just the same thing over and over again and probably has VD.

Watchmen was amazing

I hear Watchmen talk, I hear Let it Go. This is who I am now.
I'm excited for it because Dr. Strange will be in it. Say what you will about him, but I am fully aboard the Cumberbatch train.
That's because you're a huge nerd.
Oh wait, so am I.
Maybe it's worth a rewatch now that I've actually read the graphic novel, but I'm not sure I want to commit two plus hours to a movie I remember being aggressively dull.
I was going to make a joke about how none of the actors that had major roles in Watchmen have gone on to have good careers, but that's actually not true. Some of them have even had pretty big hits in the past few years. The guy who played The Comedian had one of the biggest moments on TV last year as Walking Dead's Neagan, and Patrick Wilson was in The Conjuring which was easily one of the best horror films of the decade thus far.

Going into Watchmen, who would have been considered the biggest "star" of the cast? Billy Crudup? I guess arguably the biggest draw was the idea of Watchmen actually finally making it onto the screen.
The Patrick Wilson/Conjuring comment reminded me that I really must watch Stoker again. Can't recall much about it aside from it being filmed very nicely and a long abiding sense of unease. I'm easily be pleased by someone named Goode playing a bit of a bastard.

I just wanted to take the opportunity this thread affords me to get back up and say:
Go see Baby Driver.
Fucking phenomenal movie. I'm not a hardcore Edgar Wright guy by any means, but that movie made me a believer; the guy is seriously brilliant.
I don't want to give away too much about the movie because I think it's good to go in fresh, but if anybody else has seen it, let me know, I'd love to talk about it!

I know you like to live a decade in the past so I'll probably not only have to explain to you what Comixology is but also a tablet computer, but Uncanny X-Force is on sale right now and is really, truly excellent:

Another "I had nowhere else to post this," comment:
I'm about 5 minutes away from finishing Season 1 of Friends From College on Netflix. My sister told me about it and it has a great cast, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
It's pretty fucking brutal, man. Very depressing. Does not paint marriage or friendship in a kind light.

Quitters always win though. That's what the inspirational Tom Brady has taught me. So a quitter I am. However I'm not winning. So who knows.
Baby Driver was freaking awesome dude. I'd be willing to say it was the best movie I went to see this year. Hands down.
