Mad Max was Awesomely Overrated!

Maybe its because everyone said its so great. I can't be told that.

You build up my expectations and I'm going to always think it could have been better. In this case, no, it was the perfect blend of action and suspense. The practical effects were great
and it was a wild ride but seeing as everyone was going on and on I can only start from the top and begin to chip away at the perfect grade once I see something I don't like.

For starters, stop saying this is a Furiosa's movie. Mad Max was the hero helping out his fellow co and supporting actors. But this was very much a Mad Max movie.

Well, that's all I got. The only complaint. The viewers complaining about whether or not this was really a Mad Max movie. I say, who cares. This was an action packed thrill ride. Just watch it, and be entertained. Was it the best movie in the world? No. But it fires on all cylinders and has a guitar with flames.

Yep! One of the best ever.

Oh yeah, if Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy aren't getting along, its not a problem, its obvious that George Miller is handing off the franchise to a Furiosa. This would be great for female leads. Charlize Theron is proven to be box office gold. It would be great for Hollywood to bank on her. I could live with this being the last Mad Max but since we're getting a sequel I'd love it if Tom Hardy would stop channeling Bane in every other movie. Or is that just his voice?

Star Wars Episode VII: The Secrets of Leaks, Spoilers & Juicy Rumors

Sweaty nerds of the galaxy are you ready for more secrets regarding the latest edition of your Holy Trilogy that will make you Wookie in your pants?

We don't need to tell you again that speculation has been swirling around the internets pumping your blood clean of any of those stupid midichlorian. Stories like Lupita Nyong'o being born to play Asajj Ventress. Well as the story goes her fresh cut has been getting lower and lower to a bald fade. As we all know, this Academy Award Winner has been signed on and probably duel sabor trailing with Hamill (Luke Skywalker) Thursday's to Tuesday. Nyong'o brings a beauty to this Galaxy far far away that only would be enhanced with heavy make up and a chance to go rogue by playing one of the most ruthless Sith's since Maul. You'll defiantly want to keep refreshing imdb to see when the rumors turn to pure unadulterated fact or maybe another character who could just as well be a Jedi who may have a slight resemblance to Ventress only because the woman who's playing her just so happens to be a similar body type, coincidentally speaking. Or she could be Ventress, who knows. Keep clicking refresh.

Harrison Ford demands that Hon Solo dies. Everyone feels that this is inevitable either from a Milenium Falcon crash landing, the son of Greedo seeks revenge or the beef between Chewie and Han gets real. There have been many storie
s that suggest that the lovable but deadly Chewbaca once got drunk at that bar that plays the same music over and over again. On the 1,988th replay of the hit single Chewie built up the courage to tell Leia how he really feels, grabbing her inappropriately and causing the Princess to channel suppressed Force powers pushing the Wookie across the bar. J.J. Abram's is still considering the Greedo angle.

Moving on to the big new of the new direction that is J.J. Abrams, its been posted some where on the internet, that J.J. has become obsess with Mark Hamill. Once the YouTube video of him resisting Star Wars dialogue as told by The Joker, Abrams rewrote the script so that Hamill will now have to give the performance of a Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, who is more powerful and just as wise as Obi Wan Kenobi but who speaks like the Clown Prince of Crime. Some people say that would be a good thing. No really people have said that.

Listen, I'm sure by now you've figured out where this little story is going. None of what I've written, especially in the last few paragraphs are anywhere near the truth. We at T.T.T.M. are not in the rumor business. I'll not join the ranks of crazies who just want to put out any nonsense rumor just to get a click. I'm a John Campea Guy. Yes, I'll fan fiction write, and I'll ask the "What If's" and sometimes I'll be right 98% of the time but only the 1% of it will go into print and even then you'll always know that I'm just, say it with me SPECULATING. I won't ever pass off rumors. If I want to have a little fun playing the what if game I will but lets try to relax as fans.

We're too involved in these worlds to the point where we're killing the romance in the theater by diluting the magic by dissecting every piece of leaked footage that comes our way. "What's that? A door that says Gotham Bank? What does this mean about the upcoming movies?" Well it means that at some point of the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice movie, there will be a scene with a bank in it. Either in the background or maybe Wayne or Luther will go check their safety deposit box to go roll around in Kryptonite found months after the events in Man of Steel. Or maybe their debit card will get stolen and Bruce or Lex might have to ask for a replacement. I don't know but I bet they won't have to wait long for the new card to come in the mail. You see what I did there? I just made some stuff up that could be in the movie or might not be but we'll find out soon enough. Who care about the rumors. The stuff that get released officially are way better and the cameras are shaky. Let all find the patients to let the people make their movie and hope it won't suck and that Gadot knocks it out the park. If it does suck and its all her fault I'll release the hounds.

Back to Star Wars, lets let the nice Jedi and Sith get back to business and make sure we wipe away the bad smell of Jar Jar and get this party started right. Okay guys? We're here at the bar! Play that same song.

Man of Steel: The Begining of Something Epic

Man of Steel: The Begining of Something Epic

The beginning of something epic. The Man of Steel movie looks like it will go down in history as the most profitable and beloved Superman movie ever. Everything that I've seen as far as advertisements, trailers, behind the scenes footage and the movie itself, tells us this. Fans like me are all raving about it. Warner Bros. have conducted themselves with a pitch perfect market of this movie, not giving away too much and blowing our minds with what we've been allowed to witness. When I say that this is the beginning of something epic of course I'm referring to this leading to a Justice League movie.

WB are now talking about just pushing forth with a Justice League movie with the team all together without explanation unlike what Marvel did with the Avengers. This is a gamble because we've seen the Avengers work so well. There are too many variables in this situation. 1. What do we do with the Green Lantern? Do we include Ryan Reynolds, reboot with a new lantern to pay Hal or let John Stewart take over? If you listen to the great John Campea (@JohnCampea) there is only one Green Lantern and that is Hal Jordon. The problem with this statement is that it is so far from the truth. Hal Jordon is apart of a Corp and he's wasn't the first human green lantern, he's the most popular.

The amazing thing about the Justice League cartoons is that it allowed John Stewart to rival his likability in the group. I won't just play the race card and point out the obvious that justice league is lacking diversity (too late). But if we were to get a second chance at a Green Lantern I say move forward with Green Lantern II introducing John Steward to replace Hal and give Ryan Remolds a promotion to a new section. WB should also turn off the green glowing CG suits and make them more like the comic book if they are to fit with Superman worlds.

Hal Jordan had his movie and it totally sucked. John Stewart may be better, it may be worse but at least we'd know which one to go with for the Justice League. My money would be on the brother. His story is more interesting. Stewarts attitude fits perfect with Nolans  Dark Knight and Snyder's Man of Steel. That's just my opinion. If I'm wrong about John then lets go with Hal and keep it moving.

This brings us to the elephant in the room. Wonder Woman, I don't care what anyone says. You can't not talk about Wonder Woman's back story. Women have a hard time as it is getting there own major action movies. People know, for the most part, the back stories of the guys but your average movie goer doesn't know squat about Wonder Woman. If they're not going to make a movie for her then her joining the group last and going into her back story at least a little bit makes total sense. You can have the major war that the Justice League is fighting already in progress and have a U.S. fighter pilot crash on Themyscira and bring her to the team then.

Who could play her? For a while Meagan Fox was the one people wanted. Then she messed up her chances by going into really bad movies and being really bad in them. A few people are now talking Cobie Smulders since her performance on Avengers.

I throwing it out there, Olivia Wilde should be considered. She's got the looks, height, and acting ability. I'd love it.

Doing Justice League correctly is a very delicate thing. Marvel fans are waiting to compare and contrast and make claims that DC is destined to mess it up. But I feel like all they need is the right direction and everything else will come together perfectly.

Let Justice be served
