Disney is trying to avoid disclosure in a lawsuit over… spoiler warnings.
Well. I suppose that even now Disney has enough money to pay lawyers to try and shoot for the moon:
The whole thing stems from a bitter legal battle between actors Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. What started as a serious harassment and retaliation lawsuit connected to the film It Ends With Us has now roped in Ryan Reynolds, and Deadpool.
Specifically, Baldoni’s legal team claims that the character “Nicepool” (a variant of Deadpool seen in the film) was created by Reynolds to mock and harass him amid their dispute. In response, they’ve subpoenaed Marvel’s internal communications about the character.
Marvel’s parent company Disney is fighting back hard. Their reasoning? If the documents are released, they could spill spoilers for the future of the MCU.
…Yeah. I don’t think the judge is gonna give a [expletive deleted]. Maybe if the third Ant-Man movie hadn’t been a disappointment… no, probably not even then.
:shaking head: I guess that sometimes you just gotta swing at the pitch.

The power room was sort of guarded. As in there were two cultists, one on each side of the door. Both had been taped to the walls, and had the veins on their bound wrists slashed. You could see the path their blood had taken down the walls by the horrible bio-mechanical vitality it had left behind — but the worst part was lingering traces of ecstasy on their faces. If these were sacrifices, they were a willing one.
Still, they were dead, and we didn’t waste time. If you’re listening to this, don’t waste time. Remember your classes and training. The cultists will have a plan. It will be complicated, precise, and merciless. If you try to match plan for plan, you will lose. So go in quickly. Break things. Disrupt. Ignore everything else, including your looming death.
Which is what we did.

They’re making a new HERBERT WEST: REANIMATOR movie.
Note that they’re not reanimating RE-ANIMATOR, but going back to the source material: “A new take on H.P. Lovecraft’s Herbert West: Reanimator is officially in the works, and it’s coming from the minds behind The Haunting in Connecticut. Screenwriters Adam Simon and Tim Metcalfe are teaming up once again to adapt the classic horror story into a contemporary feature film.” Which is probably for the best. RE-ANIMATOR is very much its own thing: why try to recreate it, and fail?

The WEAPONS trailer.
Need to check with my eldest for this one. WEAPONS might be his aesthetic… oh. Right. He can just go to R-rated horror flicks on his own, now.
Huh.
