So the plan is for Keaton to be in the The Flash movie, which will adapt The Flashpoint story and then would lead into a Batman Beyond film sometime after.

Keaton's only demand is that WB hires Tim Burton to direct Batman Beyond.

IF for whatever reason they can't do that and Keaton declines to return, WB has a plan in place to throw as much money as needed to try to get Christian Bale to return to the role.

Sounds like a win/win either way to me.

Flashpoint is the storyline where Barry goes back in time and creates an alternative present, right? The show did that one pretty well already, but it’ll work. I’m nervous about Burton. I love him, but he’s not been doing his best work lately.

[NiCK (Crush)]

Agree about Burton, but maybe a return to Gotham is just what he needs to get back on track.

RIP Carl Reiner. Will toss on Oceans 11 today in his honor

[Bluewater34]

There aren’t many people that have done more for comedy than him.

I loved The Dick Van Dyke show when I was a kid

[morgadt]

The Jerk was hilarious.

[Wildcats82]

I love that episode of "Freaks and Geeks" when Sam finally gets the girl he has a crush on and takes her to see "The Jerk". She hated it

Oh, God! and Summer Rental are good films.

98's nothing to shake a stick at.

Rip Torn as a pirate and John Candy as the vacation everyman is a quintessential summer film.

Irresistible enjoyable?

Not that I’m telling anyone anything that they don’t already know or couldn’t have guessed, but the Hamilton film is fantastic.

Man, everyone I know says the same thing but I just can't bring myself to watch it.

I'm open to being convinced though, it just hasn't happened yet.

Ennio Morricone has died. He was 91. Complications from a fall.

One of my favourite scores of his was The Legend of 1900.

[Bluewater34]

He essentially created modern film scoring. He’s one of those people who influenced absolutely everyone, even if they didn’t know it.

If the universal praise for the musical and the positive reviews of the movie haven’t convinced you, I don’t know what I would say to change your mind. What’s are you getting hung up on?

[gweeps]

My favourite musical is probably Sweeney Todd.

I usually don't seek them out. But I enjoy myself when I do watch one.

No desire to watch Hamilton though. Just not interested in the subject matter.

Neither was I but you arent simply watching it for the subject matter. Watch it for the music and the performances.
