Jennifer Lawrence starring in Adam McKay’s movie based on dumpster fire start-up Theranos

cool

I know a lot about Elizabeth Holmes and her bullshit start-up, Theranos. This is because my wife puts on biolifemedicalsomething conferences, and Theranos was simultaneously a rising star and a source of concern for members of that community, and her. Basically Holmes was a scam artist who flouted FDA something suches, and most importantly: refused to speak at a keynote for my wife. Then Holmes’ career fell apart. Is this a coincidence? Is my wife at best, a realitymancer, and at worse, the Devil? I’m not sure. Maybe the new Lawrence/McKay movie will suss this out.

Maybe: Adam McKay writing ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’

Ant-Man.

After Edgar Wright dropped the project, Adam McKay did punch-up work on the original Ant-Man script. Briefly, he was in talks to direct, and that never happened. And now it is looking like he *may* be writing it. I would fucking love this.

‘The Big Short’ Trailer: McKay’s movie on the Housing Crisis enlists Bale, Pitt, and Gosling

This movie has certainly come out of left field for me. Adam McKay and a bevy of sexy, talented actors are taking on the scumfucks and the 2008 Housing Crisis? Interesting. Interesting indeed. I’ll see it.

Adam McKay probably directing a Marvel movie

Adam McKay.

Adam McKay directing a Marvel movie? Makes sense. The Leviathan is enormous. Its consumptive needs are never-ending, all-expanding. Slowly but surely all talent of even marginal measure will be subsumed into its corpus. The exceptions shall prove the rule. This Leviathan is the Never Ending Comic Book Movie Monster.

LOL! – ‘Ant-Man’ is getting another pair of writers for rewrite

Ant-Man.

Yes, Ant-Man. Yes! Continue to mutate into some abomination. Slough off your Wright-Cornish skin. Waddle through the comedic mud of Adam McKay. But! But continue your metamorphosis! Let us not stop tweaking this script until every ounce of Inspired Auteur has been left in the rubbish pile, replaced with the Clarion Call of Meddling and Wasted Potential!

Rumor: ‘ANT-MAN’ Villain Revealed. (No, it’s not Kevin Feige.)

Kevin Feige

GET IT?! Cause Feige is the dude who is maybe-probably-purportedly responsible for ordering the Thousand Cuts of Death script tweak that sent Edgar Wright walking from Ant-Man. Ahhh, fuck me. Anyways. Here’s the villain of the movie. Maybe.

PEYTON REED (‘BRING IT ON’, ‘YES MAN’) directing ‘ANT-MAN.’

Ant-Man.

Ant-Man didn’t just fall off the Director’s Cliff. It suffered multiple compound fractures before breaking its back on the cold, hard floor of reality.

ADAM MCKAY PULLS OUT OF ‘ANT-MAN’ talks. OkayIgiveup.

Face Palm.

Okay so now Adam McKay has pulled himself out of Ant-Man talks. After getting bummed about Wright, excited about McKay, and now bummed about McKay pulling himself out of talks, I’m ready to give the middle finger to the whole process. Just let me know what mediocre mind you find, Marvel.

ADAM MCKAY has been OFFERED ‘ANT-MAN’

Adam McKay.

As The Ant-Man Turns. From Wright leaving, to three directors being considered, to apparently Adam McKay being offered the gig. Busy fucking week! Busy fucking day! He ain’t fucking Wright, okayIknowthat, but I think I could really enjoy McKay helming the project.

Potential ‘ANT-MAN’ directors: ADAM MCKAY, RAWSON THURBER, RUBEN FLEISCHER

 

Ant-Man.

A shortlist of the directors that could replace Edgar Wright on Ant-Man has been revealed. And while there’s no replacing Wright, and it seems awkward that someone is going to be helming his brain baby, there are certainly worse directors than the ones revealed. (Better ones too, okay, granted.)
