Tolerance Project extra I’ll be back and he certainly was Every Terminator film ranked from worst to best
Overview
The Terminator is a 1984 American science fiction action film directed by James Cameron. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator, a cyborg assassin sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), whose unborn son will one day save mankind from extinction by Skynet, a hostile artificial intelligence in a post-apocalyptic future. Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) is a soldier sent back in time to protect Sarah. The screenplay is credited to Cameron and producer Gale Anne Hurd.
Defying low pre-release expectations, The Terminator topped the United States box office for two weeks, eventually grossing $78.3 million against a modest $6.4 million budget. It is credited with launching Cameron's film career and solidifying Schwarzenegger's status as a leading man. The film's success led to a franchise consisting of several sequels, a television series, comic books, novels and video games. In 2008, The Terminator was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

The Screen rant film website recently published a list of what they thought were the best films in the Terminator film franchise.

When it was released in 1984 it made Arnold Schwarzenegger a star Collider the entertainment website recently revealed how he got the role when the director wanted him in the film to play a differant part all togather you can read about it here https://collider.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-the-terminator-james-cameron/
Me and The Terminator Franchise
There have been 6 films in The Terminator franchise I must admit I have not seen them all so I won’t comment on those but I think the first 2 films in the series are the best ones in the franchise as a whole.
The Collider entertainment website published an article recently where they showed the first 2 two Terminator films to first time viewer to read his thoughts click here https://collider.com/terminator-review-james-cameron-arnold-schwarzenegger-small-story/
I would have stopped the series after Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines after all it would have made a nice little trilogy. I actually saw the 2nd Terminator film Judgement day first.
I only saw that because I was intriged by a spoof pop single in the british charts by Arnie and the Terminators which you can listen to by clicking here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JewSFEb4D6Y
Did you know Terminator 2 Judgement orignally had a differant ending which would have ended of the Terminator series after 2 films.
The epic saga of the "Terminator" films nearly had a far more conclusive ending in its second installment. James Cameron initially planned for a future-set epilogue in which an older Sarah Connor watches her son John, now a senator, playing with his daughter in a peaceful, Skynet-free world.
This would have sealed the fate of our beloved characters, leaving no room for a sequel, let alone the multiple that followed. As apocalyptic as the "Terminator" franchise tends to be, it's amusing to imagine it wrapping up with a peaceful picnic scene.
Screenrant again published an article on their website called 10 Movies that should have ended the Franchise and Terminator 2 Judgement Day was on their list at number at number 7 this is what they had to say
There are several reasons why Terminator 2: Judgment Day still holds up today. Apart from the impressive effects and performance that brought the T-1000 to life, Terminator 2 compellingly raised the stakes and further explored the plot's ethical implications. It also pulled off the impossible by turning the first movie's villain, the T-800, into a hero and father figure to John Connor. With Skynet's defeat, Sarah and John finally had a reason to be optimistic in the ending, which brings the story to a full circle. The disappointing events of Terminator 3 and the succeeding reboot sequels only strengthen Judgment Day's place among movies that should have ended the franchise.
Reading those comments myself its very hard to disagree with them also this article from the CBR.com website explains why the Terminator film series should have perharps stopped at Terminator 2 Judgement Day https://www.cbr.com/t2-perfect-end-terminator-series/
Also the yard Barker website included it in a list of films in article called Sequels that could have worked as standalone films this is what they had to say:
James Cameron’s original Terminator is a hallmark of sci-fi and action cinema, and, if anything, its sequel is even better. In this case, the story focuses on Sarah Connor, her son John, and their unlikely ally, the T-800. The entire cast is at the top of their game, though, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a highlight as the Terminator. Throughout the film, Cameron showcases his skills as a director, and it’s a film that only grows in importance and relevance as AI becomes a more pronounced and undeniable part of everyone’s daily life, for better and for worse.
This article from the CBR website also lists 10 reasons why Terminator 2 Judgement Day is the best film of the Franchise https://www.cbr.com/terminator-2-best-movie-franchise/

Tolerance and the Terminator
Why am I talking about Terminator well we almost had a Terminator spoof in the Tolerance film as you can see below first published in the 2nd Part of my Producers comentary blog
Deleted scene
Tolerance deals with five major issues, one of which is transport. The second deleted scene is one I rather miss, and I wish we had kept it as it would have been funny. In the finished film, we see Robert trying to get to his interview; his taxi has not turned up and he just misses the bus; it is just not his day. The deleted scene would have been a Terminator spoof. Perhaps the scene was excluded because the director felt a bus company would not let us borrow a bus for a few hours! It is a shame as Railtrack let us borrow a train for half a day for the Huddersfield Station sequences later in the film.
Terminator!
Robert falls into one of his day dreams and lifts himself out of the chair and onto the bus. He is now wearing full bike leathers, sun glasses and motorbike boots; the passengers on the bus look terrified!
ROBERT: Town.
Robert hands the driver a ten pound note.
BUS DRIVER (pointing to a sign which says correct change only): Correct change only mate.
Robert leans into the perspex.
ROBERT: 'I’ll be back'
Robert the Terminator steps off the bus; the bus pulls away leaving him standing next to the wheelchair in his normal clothes. According to the shooting schedule if this scene was shot it would have been recorded on the 17th August the same day as the Huddersfield Train station scenes making a long day even longer perhaps another reason why it was cut
The props listed for this deleted scene include full leather gear motorbike boots sunglasses and rather strangely a red eye was Richard planning to have a prosthetic eye made just for this scene ?

Audience viewership
During its debut week, 1899 ranked at number two on Netflix's Top 10 TV English titles just three days after its release with 79.27 million hours viewed.[22][23] The following week, the series remained at the same position and garnered 87.89 million viewing hours.[24][25] In its third week, the series generated 44.62 million viewing hours, while also holding its position at number two.[26][27]
Critical response
The series received generally positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a "Certified Fresh" approval rating of 79% based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 6.80/10.[28] The website's critical consensus states, "1899 navigates its multicultural passengers through an atmospheric mystery and delivers a suspenseful journey, even if it may never reach a satisfying destination."[28] On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the series has a score of 66 out of 100 based on 12 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[29]
Collider named 1899 as one of the best new TV shows of 2022,[30] while MovieWeb ranked it the sixth best TV show of the year.[31]
And still, Netflix cancelled it.
What does a show need to do to survive?
FUCK YOU, NETFLIX.

Birds is the word
What to make of this “Birds of Prey” movie? Or should I use the revised title, “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey”? Or use the still-official name, “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)”? Try fitting that last one on a marquee.
Whatever you call it, the DC Extended Universe entry, starring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, certainly is the topic of discussion, even if that discussion isn’t translating into ticket sales. Or maybe it is. It’s hard to tell from a sampling of headlines just a few days after its release.
It might be a total disaster at the box office:
· Foul Results for Disappointing ‘Birds of Prey’ Result in First Down Weekend of 2020 – Yahoo! Entertainment
· Exclusive: Birds of Prey ‘Dead in the Water’ – Cosmic Book News
· ‘Birds of Prey’ fails to take off at the box office – CNN
· ‘Birds of Prey’ Lays an Egg at the Box Office – Variety
Picking up on the word plays yet? At least those seem tame compared to this:
· Birds of Prey Box Office is WORSE Than We Thought! A TOTAL FLOP! – D-Rezzed
Apparently the POTUS finds time between tweets to write headlines for that last website. The news is not all bad, judging from these headlines:
· ‘Birds of Prey’ rules global box office in $81.3m launch – Screen International
· Why Birds of Prey disappointed at the box office, but wasn’t *really* a flop at all – DigitalSpy
· ‘Birds of Prey’ isn’t a box office disaster, ignore the negative hype – Mashable
So, what is “Birds of Prey” (the easiest form of its official name) exactly? A box-office train wreck? A mildly successful film that still might find its audience? Already an unmitigated success? That middle option is closest to the truth, but this is 2020, and we all get to pick our version of the truth. And if you are bait in search of clicks, reasonable headlines just won’t cut it.
“Birds of Prey” will make money, so it’s hardly fair to call it a flop. It’s just not likely to make as much money as Warner Bros. hoped it would. It won’t make as much money as “Joker,” the DC movie that isn’t a DCEU movie even though it stars a DC character, which has earned more than $1 billion worldwide. And to date (this was written five days after its theatrical release) it hasn’t performed as well as other DCEU movies. Still, it earned more than $33 million in its opening weekend in the U.S. and raked in more than $80 million internationally during that same time period.
Warner Bros. had hoped for more, with studio projections putting its opening weekend somewhere in the $55 million range. When that didn’t happen, the studio acted, apparently placing at least some of the blame on the film’s title. So, it went from “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” to “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey,” but not officially. Warner Bros. suggested that theaters start using the revised title in its marketing to boost ticket sales. A Google search of “Birds of Prey” now produces results that read “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey.” The online world followed suit:
· ‘Birds of Prey’ Retitled After Box Office Dud, but It Should’ve Been ‘Harley Quinn’ From the Start -- IndieWire
· New Birds of Prey Title Gets Mocked on Twitter as Warner Bros. Explains Why It Changed – MovieWeb
The change could work, or, if that second headline is to be believed, backfire. The studio was concerned the portion of the moviegoing public not into comic books might not recognize the Birds of Prey, a superhero team featured in DC Comics since 1996. Never mind that Harley Quinn clearly was the star attraction in the film’s trailers, and never mind that the Robbie version of Harley Quinn had already become more or less a household name since the release of the much-maligned DCEU film “Suicide Squad” in 2016. (By the way, that film earned almost $750 million worldwide.)
The good news for those involved (Robbie is one of the producers) is that films that draw audiences with more females than males tend to have legs at the box office (perhaps that has something to do with males’ notoriously short attention spans). Also, the film (unofficial name change or not) was positioned to pick up steam on Valentine’s Day, though it will face plenty of competition, particularly from that most romantic of movies, “Sonic the Hedgehog.”
We might never know why “Birds of Prey” did not meet expectations on opening weekend. Were the expectations too high? Was the title too vague? Did the movie’s marketing fail it? Was it because it is rated R and thus shut out younger audiences? Was it because it was released in February, one of Hollywood’s “dump months”? Was it because it was released the same weekend as the Academy Awards and audiences were focused on those films? Is it because male audiences again did not turn out for what is considered a feminist movie? Is it because people who rant online about the importance of such movies often don’t back up their words by showing up at theaters? Is there something people don’t like about the movie? I have talked to others about “Birds of Prey,” and some of them have the same concern I have (I have not seen it but plan to during its second weekend): The purposely abrasiveness of Robbie’s crazy, chaotic Harley Quinn (especially that voice) can be hard to stomach during a two-minute trailer, so what will two hours of her be like?
“Birds of Prey” reportedly cost “only” $97.1 million to produce. That might seem like a lot of money, because it is. But the budget for “Suicide Squad” was almost double that. And the budget for your average Marvel Cinematic Universe film is way more than that; for example, “Avengers: Endgame” reportedly cost more than $350 million to make. That total doesn’t seem so bad when you consider it has made more than $2.8 billion. That’s more than the 2019 Gross Domestic Product of 47 nations on this planet.
It would be too much to ask of “Birds of Prey” to even sniff at those kinds of numbers. But it’s too early to call it a “flop” or “bomb” or “disaster” or any other extreme term you choose. And there are plenty of films out there that won’t make the kind of money “Birds of Prey” does no matter how many times you change their title.

Photo
Almost three years ago I designed a fan art movie poster out of excitement for the 2020 “S.C.O.O.B.” film. Lots of people liked and it and was actually mistaken by some to be the official poster (I’ve seen it on websites like MovieWeb for profiles of the movie).
I hadn’t even thought about the design in a while until a fan of That Groovy Scoobcast included the image in their YouTube video talking about the voice actors starring in the film. Taking another look at the original design I made, I found how much I kind of hated it (lol). So I decided to redesign it!
The new design includes the names of the voice actors starring in the movie as well as an updated Warner Bros. logo and release date. I also smoothed out the edges along Scooby’s eyebrows and nose since I wasn’t as skilled back then in Adobe Illustrator.
Hope you guys find the new design cool! And this is just a reminder that THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL “S.C.O.O.B.” MOVIE POSTER.

Can we trust "movieweb"? Ive seen some people said "that website is bs" "do not trust that website" because lately that site has released some episode 9 "news" and of course idk if i should trust that site or not. Which movie website would you recommend me to read?
I think they're not that bad for a movie website lol. Tho when it comes to movie news I tend to go on reddit subs (like r/movies, r/StarWarsLeaks, r/marvelstudios, etc). For me they're pretty trustworthy and its comment sections are useful to know about the news sources.

Tolerance Project extra The 8 Best Star Wars Rip offs Ranked
Part 1 Krull and The Last Starfighter
Introduction
Hello there and welcome to a revised edition of a blog that looks at 8 of the best Star Wars film Rip offs. this new Tumblr version will be split into two parts
This blog entry is inspired by the movieweb article of the same name you can find the original article by clicking here https://movieweb.com/best-star-wars-ripoffs-ranked/#:~:text=The%208%20Best%20Star%20Wars%20Rip-offs%2C%20Ranked%201,2%20Flash%20Gordon%20%281980%29%208%201%20Spaceballs%20%281987%29
One of the first sequences in the Tolerance film is a Star Wars spoof so this article peeked my interest our Star Wars Spoof was a bit less blatant than those featured in the movieweb article all we did for ours was spoof the opening dialogue crawl that opened all 9 of the movies in the Star Wars saga
You can read about how Star Wars created that original opening crawl by clicking here https://www.slashfilm.com/1322995/how-star-wars-created-original-opening-crawl-using-black-paper/#:~:text=Thus%2C%20to%20make%20the%20crawl%2C%20they%20had%20to,illusion%20of%20the%20letters%20progressing%20up%20the%20screen.
To quote the movie web article Star Wars is one of the biggest and most successful science fiction franchises ever created. Beginning in 1977, the original film became one of many episodic movies now dubbed the Skywalker Saga, told in a trilogy of trilogies.Recounting the galactic civil war between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, Star Wars shares the sociopolitical consequences of space exploration and planetary conquest. On the surface, the franchise is a fairy tale told in space. Its formula and genre became so popular, it led to copycats in a galaxy not so far away.
Of the 8 films mentioned I have never seen the man who saved the world 1982 trailer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsRV6z-cd-c and Starchaser the legend of Orin 1985 trailer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8UZ2WfLG70
Krull (1983)
Krull is a science fiction and fantasy adventure film about a royal family who will rule the galaxy as foretold in a prophecy. Playing off the fairy-tale-in-space trope, the film didn't know what to be as it tried cashing in on two genres for the price of one. The rip-off was also released the same year as Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi, leading to an early death by comparison. However, it has survived being a box-office bomb and panned by critics with its own cult following.
The website space.com published this short article about the film
Luke Skywalker's well publicized exploits on the Death Star were such a spectacular success that there was an air of inevitability when other Hollywood studios tried to make a "Star Wars" of their own. More remarkable was the fact that their subsequent efforts to milk the cash cow (or bantha, perhaps?) took such different approaches to outer space.
However, most of the wannabes ignored a crucial element of George Lucas's extremely lucrative franchise – for all the spaceships, robots, and lasers, "Star Wars" was actually fantasy in sci-fi clothing, built around a hero whose quest revolved as much around magic (cleverly rebranded as "the Force") as futuristic gadgets.
In the years following "A New Hope," viewers were invited to experience the high camp of "Flash Gordon," the overblown space opera of "The Black Hole," and a Roger Corman-produced interstellar riff on "The Magnificent Seven" called "Battle Beyond the Stars." "Star Trek" also got in on the act with the "2001: A Space Odyssey"-esque grandeur of "The Motion Picture," while T.V. viewers were given a weekly dose of sci-fi in their homes courtesy of "Battlestar Galactica" (arguably one of the best sci-fi TV shows of all time).
According to this article on the Giant Freaking Robot website Krull could be getting a new film Reboot with JJ Abrams directing https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/exclusive-krull-reboot-jj-abrams.html

The Last Starfighter (1984)
The Last Starfighter follows teenager Alex, who is chosen to be a gunner in an interstellar war based on his high score in an arcade game of the same, a secret recruitment tool of the Rylan Star League. Alex is forced to save the dying alien squadron and destroy the enemy fleet, the Ko-Dan Armada.
He later stays to rebuild the league's depleted forces, knowing their overlord survived the destruction of his mothership. Compared to Luke Skywalker, the film takes the glory out of the hero's journey for Alex, who must protect a planet now facing near-extinction

Michael Myers vs Pinhead: The Hellraiser/Halloween Crossover That Never Was
https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/rachel-talalay-five-scariest-scenes.png?resize=400%2C400
Up until the new millennium, cinematic crossovers were largely the preserve of Abbott and Costello or Godzilla. But that all changed in 2003 with the arrival of Freddy Vs. Jason. The Nightmare on Elm Street/Friday the 13th mashup had been 16 agonizing years in the making. New Line Cinema shelled out a reported $6 million on script development alone with as many as 16 different writers taking a stab at the concept.
Despite such inauspicious beginnings, however, Freddy Vs. Jason ended up being a massive hit, raking in $116.6 million off the back of a modest $30m budget. All of a sudden, crossover movies were in vogue. The kind of pop culture hybridization once reserved for the world of comic books was becoming big business in Hollywood. Freddy Vs. Jason was soon followed by Paul W.S. Anderson’s Alien vs. Predator which also cleaned up at box office making $177.4m off an initial $60m outlay.
It was around that time that the idea for a crossover involving Halloween’s masked killer Michael Myers and Hellraiser’s iconic sadomasochistic cenobite, Pinhead, was first floated.
Filmmaker Dave Parker, who went on to enjoy success with horror films like The Dead Hate the Living and The Hills Run Red, revealed during an interview with Creature Corner [via Paul Kane’s book The Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy p.224] he pitched an idea for Michael Myers vs Pinhead to Dimension.
“I had pitched, unsuccessfully, Freddy vs Jason to a guy named Ross Hammer at Sean Cunningham’s company around ’94 or early ’95. After that didn’t go well, I started think about what other franchises were at other studios…It was a no-brainer to see that Dimension had both the Halloween and Hellraiser franchises, so I put together a trailer using footage from the Halloween movies … and I called the idea ‘Helloween’.”
Parker elaborated further on his idea for the plot of the movie in an interview with Fangoria Corner [see The Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy p.224] published later that same year, saying that explaining why Michael Myers couldn’t die “led to opening the doors” to introduce Pinhead and the Hellraiser mythos.
“I was just trying to come up with a plausible way to get these two guys together to fight,” he said. “So, why does he all of a sudden go out and kill his sister in Halloween? He’s trick-or-treating in a flashback and he goes up to this one house … and sees the guy with the black boots, who gives him the box. He opens it and the Lord of the Dead – Sam Hain – escapes from hell and takes over Michael’s body because he doesn’t want to be in hell. Now, Sam Hain is who the Shape is, and that’s why he can’t be killed.”
With the origin story out of the way, the modern part of the tale naturally followed.
“So, the story takes place when people try to destroy the Myers house and they find the box hidden between the walls. Of course, they open it and Pinhead shows up, and it’s Halloween and it’s the Myers house, so Michael shows up because there are people there and Pinhead recognizes that Michael is Sam Hain because he can feel it – which begins this whole battle in the real world. And of course, the third act takes them all to hell…”
Despite Parker’s intriguing proposal, Dimension rejected the concept – this was the mid-90s after all, a time when Kramer vs. Kramer was about as close as you got to film with a ‘vs.’ in the title. It would take another eight years and the success of Freddy vs. Jason before the studio would be turned on to the idea of a horror movie mashup.
At one point, there were even plans afoot for Pinhead to feature in Freddy vs. Jason. One draft of the script written by Mark Swift and Damian Shannon saw Krueger and Voorhees fight their way down to Hell, only for the familiar Cenobite to appear and say: “Gentlemen…what seems to be the problem?” The cameo could have paved the way for an even more outlandish sequel featuring all three horror icons. Unfortunately, New Line Cinema balked at the idea of licensing Pinhead from Dimension Films.

The Scariest Films Ever Made and How They Frighten Us
By Matt Glasby
Not that anyone was particularly disappointed at Dimension. Speaking to Your Move Magazine [via Movieweb], Pinhead actor Doug Bradley said “they didn’t think it would work…They predicted that Freddy vs. Jason would bomb, but it opened at the top of the box office and stayed there for a second weekend.”
Of course, that success made Dimension feel more confident about a Hellraiser/Halloween crossover.
Eager to up the ante, in late 2003 the studio set a release date of Halloween 2004 for the film. They also enlisted the biggest of big guns to get the project rolling. In a surprise move, Dimension Films reached out to the original Hellraiser writer and director Clive Barker as well as Halloween’s own original co-writer and director John Carpenter.
The plan was for Barker to write and Carpenter to direct – something Barker later confirmed during an interview for the Halloween: 25 Years of Terror documentary. Whether Barker got around to writing a script is unclear, but he definitely had ideas. Very interesting ideas, as Bradley revealed to me during an interview marking the 30th anniversary of the original Hellraiser’s release.
“I remember getting quite excited at the prospect of it,” Bradley says. “Clive said that the versus bit, the Michael Myers vs Pinhead bit was a bit beside the point – it was a bit boring given that Michael doesn’t speak, which makes him a disappointment to Pinhead. Clive wasn’t interested in a mano-a-mano confrontation. He was interested in finding the places where the Hellraiser and Halloween landscapes might have crossed over. The first Halloween works like a classic vampire movie with Michael as Dracula and Dr. Loomis as Van Helsing.”
That relationship helped set up the conflict of the film.
“Dr. Loomis spends a lot of the film warning people they don’t know what they are dealing with,” Bradley says. “It gave Michael this supernatural, mysterious element that made him so powerful. There was a suggestion he was something not human and Clive felt there was a way in there. Clive saw him as a sadomasochistic sexual pervert and serial killer which would be enough to pique Pinhead’s interest.”
At the time, John Carpenter was in something of a self-imposed retirement, following the poor reviews that had greeted his most recent film at the time, Ghosts of Mars. Michael Myers vs Pinhead was not only a shot at redemption, it offered a chance to collaborate with one of the most unique voices in the world of horror.
But just when it looked like the most unlikely of crossovers would come to fruition, everything stopped. While Dimension Films believed in the crossover’s potential, long-time Halloween producer Moustapha Akkad was vehemently opposed to the idea.
And it was Akkad, crucially, who owned the rights to the Halloween franchise having purchased Carpenter and co-writer Debra Hill’s controlling interests during pre-production on Halloween 4. Barker would later hint at studio interference, telling a Fangoria convention that “The Shape” aka Myers was treated “like Hamlet” by certain big-wigs upstairs.
In any case, the prospects of convincing Akkad of the project’s viability had not been helped by an online fan poll created by the official Halloween movies’ website at the time, which asked fans if they wanted to see a Halloween/Hellraiser crossover.
According to CliveBarkerCast: “Out of 84,427 votes, 54% said NO”. A year after pulling the plug on the project, Akkad was tragically killed, alongside his 34-year-old daughter, Rima Akkad Monla, in the 2005 Amman bombings.
By then Hollywood had moved on from the short-lived fad for movie mash-ups – a Freddy vs Jason vs Ash of Evil Dead fame was pitched but rejected. A second Aliens vs Predator movie made a tidy profit but drew rancid reviews.
Halloween eventually moved on too, with Blumhouse obtaining the rights to the intellectual property in 2015, after Dimension failed to move forward with a planned follow-up. No longer owned by the same studio, there remains one small glimmer of hope for anyone still clinging to hopes of seeing Michael Myers indulge in a spot of sadomasochism: David Gordon Green.

Green is directing the new trilogy of Halloween films and has also signed on to helm several episodes of an upcoming Hellraiser TV series for HBO. Watch this space.

Slashdot: '90s-Style 'Captain Marvel' Website Will Have You Nostalgic for Dial-Up
'90s-Style 'Captain Marvel' Website Will Have You Nostalgic for Dial-Up Published on February 09, 2019 at 07:04PM An anonymous reader quotes MovieWeb: The official Captain Marvel website is a blast from the past... Marvel Studios is preparing its final promotional push for the project. This includes TV spots, various forms of merchandise, posters, and in this case, a perfect retro website, tailor made to take us all back to a time when the internet was a whole lot simpler. Instead of flashy high resolution images, we are treated to pixelated versions, which perfectly reimagines the 1990s websites. There's a lot of Word art, a ticker to count how many unique views that the site gets, a guest book, and even a game that lets fans spot the Kree. Instead of the trailers coming through YouTube, they are played using the "Kree Player," which is take on the old Real Player. MovieWeb writes that the site "also gives younger Marvel Cinematic Universe fans a chance to see what the internet looked like back in the day...." And though the movie's slogan is "Higher, further, faster," they argue that "The only thing that could have made the Captain Marvel site even better is slow page loading, just to give it a real touch of what it was like surfing the net in the dark ages."

JOKER 2 On The Way Or Not?!?
Well, Warner Bros just couldn’t help themselves. After making a billion dollars at the box office, director Todd Philips and actor Joaquin Phoenix are circling around the idea for a proposed sequel to Joker. But will it actually happen?
Per Screen Rant:
What set Joker apart from other comic book adaptations (besides its R-rating and dark, gritty tone) is the fact it was conceived as a one-off.…

Avengers Endgame download LEAKED online on torrent
In what came as a shocker to the fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers Endgame leaked earlier today. Many eager and enthusiastic fans who want to watch this leak online are already downloading the illegal torrents and hosting it across streaming websites. This leak has happened just two days before the release date of the movie.

Let us take a closer look at this Avengers leak and get more details about it.
Avengers Endgame Leaked: Everything That You Need to Know
Earlier, certain portions from the upcoming Avengers movie were leaked online. These were random snippets from the film but now the entire movie has leaked and ended up on Torrents. This has come as a major setback to Marvel and the company is now working forward towards suppressing the stream.
Image: movieweb
This is perhaps the biggest leak in Marvel history as a large number of fans were looking forward to watching this movie in theatres and this was likely to be the biggest opening for Marvel financially. While it would still be a thundering success and most likely the most successful MCU movie ever, the leak will have a significant impact.
Avengers: Endgame Leaked – Online Streaming and Torrents Make Rounds on the Web
Ever since the Avengers movie leaked on the original source (which is yet to be tracked), the movie is making rounds all over the internet and has since been downloaded and duplicated hundreds of times and several mirror links have come up. Some illegal streaming websites have also hosted this Endgame leak allowing fans to watch it online.

In addition to this, Avengers Endgame torrent download numbers are also ticking up as torrent websites all over the world have begun to spread it and make it viral. However, before you jump on to these websites which allow you to watch online or download Endgame torrent, you must know that it is illegal as well as unsafe!
Why You Should Not Download Avengers Endgame Torrent
While the leaked movie is out on torrents and online streaming links, it is both unwise and unsafe to do so. This is because first of all, it is illegal to watch and download pirated content. Secondly, scammers and hackers are making use of these endgame torrents to upload ransomware and malware which will infect your computer once you open the downloaded file!
Image ScreenGeek
It is putting yourself at risk legally as well as in terms of cybersecurity! We strongly advise that viewers watch this film in the theatres. Moreover, the grandeur of this movie can only be enjoyed on the big screen that theatres offer.
Marvel Trying to Suppress Avengers Endgame Leak
Ever since the news broke out that an Avengers Endgame leak is making rounds on the internet, Marvel has been trying their best to suppress the links and the streams. However, given that the speed at which content tends to be duplicated and mirrored on the internet, Marvel is likely to meet little to no success.
