DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

I read or heard a couple of times that Arnold goes to a dialect coach to help keep his Austrian accent. He's lived in the United States for so long he's actually lost his native accent.
It happened with a friend of the family. She was born in Great Britain after the war and emigrated to California, in the early 70s, where she's lived for the last fifty years. Now, you would never know she was a British citizen, all trace of her accent is completely gone.
Same thing with my co-worker, he's Dutch by birth, raised in Wales, and lived in the Puget Sound the last thirty plus years. He's developed a flat mid-Atlantic accent.

I knew a girl in high school who had a beautifully posh English accent despite coming from Dartmouth, Massachusetts, IIRC. She said she spoke that way because she'd been raised by an English nanny, but these days, knowing how people's accents can change to fit their surroundings, I wonder if she cultivated the accent on purpose.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Hired an Accent Removal Coach After Directors Said It’d Ruin Leading Man Potential: ‘I Should’ve Gotten My Money Back’

He was much less intelligible in Conan the Barbarian than he was even two years later.

So I can only find some posts on Facebook and instagram, but it seems that while Alan Tudyk is voicing one of the robots in Superman, the others are voiced by Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker and Pom Klementieff.

Here's what Gunn said:

"I will give you something that nobody knows. Pom Klementieff is one of the robots. In that same scene, it's Bradley [Cooper], it's also Pom, and Michael Rooker is another one of the robots. We've got two Guardians”

Cooper is in the same scene with two other GtoG actors; those two are playing robots.

Now I hear it that Pom is the new number 12.

I always felt that Schwarzenegger was most effective as a comic actor. I don't recall Stallone having any success in that field.

Stallone was actually very funny in a movie called Oscar.

I think I’ll skip those. Would like to show up at the movie somewhat unspoiled.

I completely forgot about Copland. I saw that at an outdoor theater. I went in blind and was engrossed in the story.

It definitely looks like the third time in a row (well, fourth counting Chris Reeve, obviously) that they’ve cast the lead role to perfection. I just hope that David is the one to get the film to equal his casting,

I thought both Chris Reeve and Henry Cavill had done just that. I also believe both Dean Cain and Tom Welling had received the TV shows worthy of their casting.

It seems like DC have someone in Gunn who can at least attempt to plot a course, and he has mapped out a lot of stuff in advance. His GOTG films have been among the best-received of the MCU, and certainly among the most vibrant, snappy and funny, whilst having a lot of heart. This makes me feel optimistic about Legacy, which certainly looks bright, colourful, and full of heart.

I'm pissed. I checked to see if my local Mom and Pop one screen cinema would be showing Superman; instead, they're showing Jurassic World the entire month of July.
I'm not willing to drive 30-45 minutes to the local multiplex to watch the movie and pay the price of the ticket.
What I like about the Mom and Pop theater is that, the ticket is $11, and you get food and drink delivered to your seat - burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads, fish and chips, chicken tenders and chips, etc.

With senior discount, plus fees, my advance IMAX ticket for the 8th ran me $26.00.

It's also a place that brings food to your seat.

That sucks.

That can be taken a couple of ways.
